DEVILISHLY HANDSOME

I woke up to the sound of my voice screaming out Landon's name. As my eyes adjusted to the bright white light of the room, I noticed a man in a navy blue suit, absorbed in his phone. He exuded this undeniably intriguing aura - his short nails and polished shoes were telling of a man who valued excellence. But it was his physique that caught my attention most - with muscles straining against his suit, he looked like he could conquer anything.

"Who's Landon?" came his deep, husky voice, as he peered up from his phone, locking eyes with me. The sound of his voice sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but feel drawn in by his mysteriousness.

Without hesitating, my gaze shifted away from him, feeling completely flustered. "Well..." I started, but before I could continue, my mum interrupted me.

"Oh, honey you're awake!" My mother's loud voice piped up as she entered the ward. It was then that I realized where I was - in a hospital, with a stranger who seemed to know too much about me.

But despite my confusion, the man in the navy blue suit continued to steal my attention. His facial features looked like they had been crafted by the gods - arched brows, heart-shaped lips as red as roses, and piercing blue eyes that seemed to look right through me. And yet, there was something wicked in the way he smiled at me - like he was privy to a great secret that I wasn't.

"Done staring?" he said with that same sly grin and a twinkle in his eye. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, realizing that I had been caught.

After a beat, I finally gathered my thoughts. "I'm sorry...who are you?" I asked tentatively.

The man's grin only widened as he leaned back in his chair. "Oh, don't you worry about that just yet," he replied with a hint of cockiness.

It was as if my mind was trying to piece together a riddle that had been dropped in front of me. Who was this man? And why did I feel like he was more than just a stranger?

Oh! Meet Beryl Park, your husband!

That was the storm, I never expected. This hot guy sitting in front of me is none other than my husband. How come? Isn't he supposed to look cranky? Mum, did you just say husband?

Yes, I did.

He's the husband?? I asked really stunned.

Yes. She answered.

He simply snickered at my shocked state.

Logan's Pov

Seeing my little wife for the very first time brought this intense feeling, but I never expected our first meeting to be in a hospital. To top it off I don't know what happened and she wakes up screaming the name of someone I have no clue about. At first, I was a bit caught off-guard by her voice but seeing how she's been gawking at me... I think this little wife of mine is going to be extremely interesting and I'd like to see how intriguing she can be.

"So, who is Landon?" I asked her, intrigued.

"He's just a coursemate," she replied timidly, biting her lip as she looked away.

I pressed on, wanting to dig deeper. "Why was his name the first thing you mentioned in your sleep?"

At that moment, her mother left the room giving us some privacy. As soon as we were alone, I continued to ask her about Landon. Somehow I felt this irritation with the name.

"He's a bully," she responded honestly.

I couldn't help but feel my curiosity growing. "For how long have you known him?"

"Since college," she admitted. "There's just something about him. I feel like he has me spellbound. I tell him everything without even trying."

I had more questions. "Did you date him?"

"No, and I never will," she said firmly. "He's evil."

I was taken aback by her answer. "What's your definition of evil, Scarlett?" I asked in my smooth, seductive voice.

When she hesitated to answer, I could feel my heart racing. I had never met anyone like her before. And as I gazed into her eyes, I couldn't help but feel drawn to her.

Fuck!... For the first time in my life, my mind mentioned something immoral. He's charming in every way. Is Mum serious? This man is too gorgeous to be thirty-two. Women will kill to have him.

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by her voice. "Fuck," she whispered.

I couldn't believe what I just heard her say. Is she already attracted to me? Not that I find it surprising though cause women easily get smitten by me. I'm just happy I caught my wife's attention.

"Scarlett?" I called out to her.

She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at me. Yes...

"What's your definition of evil?" I asked her with a smirk on my face.

Someone who bullies people for no reason, someone who kills, and most importantly someone who hurts the innocent for no good reason. I said stating everything for him.

Wow! Looks like I've got a saint for a wife. I thought with a grin. So what happens to the bad people? I ask in curiosity.

Well, there's justice and if possible death!

Wow! So she's not entirely innocent? I thought again as my lips curled up in a smile.

Why are you here? I thought we were to see at my graduation.

Unfortunately, your Dad had a change of plans, you might want to find things out for yourself. I'll be stepping out for a bit. I said standing on my feet and heading out when her voice came through.

What's your name? She asked hesitantly, her voice was innocent and sweet.

Beryl Maverick Park. I responded and left.

He has a lovely name, I thought with a smile. I could feel butterflies in my stomach, this was the first time this ever happened to me. Beryl... I whispered his name to myself and blushed hard. He's cute...
