Chapter 71

Being Hell's King didn't get any easier as the days passed. On the contrary, Chris could feel himself snapping. Even eyed the abyss a time or two. At least in there, he'd find peace and quiet.

Sensing his turmoil, Isobel kept urging him to, "Hold on 'til Saturday."

She clung to hope, whereas he figured his sister had yanked his leg when she said she'd make him a portal to attend the birthday Earth-side. He didn't expect her to keep her word. She'd probably only invited him to be polite.

Yet, there she was, a minute past four in the afternoon, striding into his office, smiling brightly and even giving him a hug, saying, "Glad you're coming, brother. I can't wait for you to meet Lucinda."

Whereas he couldn't wait to escape his Hell prison. He didn't pack anything lest Alfred notice and try to stop them from going. He'd sent the little butler on an errand on the opposite side of the castle.
