My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 148 I came to discuss… our family.



Sapphire appeared in the human world with a sudden brilliance, a flash of crimson light materializing directly in front of the grand, cold facade of the company building.

The modern structure, with its glass walls and imposing design, reflected the sunlight with calculated perfection.

"At least they keep it spotless... I can't even think about dirty windows..." Sapphire murmured as she observed the building. "Well, let's go." She was there for a clear reason, and her presence seemed to consume the space around her, as if the very air around the company had grown denser and heavier.

She didn't care that she was in the human world. To her, those limitations didn't exist. The automatic doors slid open with a soft whisper as she entered, her imposing figure hovering as the reception area filled with the oppressive presence of a being of her magnitude. Each step she took echoed, and the environment, which had once seemed so lively, so full of muffled murmurs and laughter, fell into an instant silence.

Sapphire's gaze swept over the room with terrifying calm. It was as though she was aware of every movement around her, every breath, every heartbeat of everyone present. She felt the tension in the air.

Every employee, from secretaries to security guards, had stopped in their tracks.

Their gazes were fixed, but vacant, as though an invisible force had frozen time for everyone there.

She knew exactly what was happening.

They were not human. She could feel the demonic aura pulsing within them, disguised as mortals.

Sapphire smiled with a hint of disdain. She knew that everyone there knew who she was—Sapphire Agares, the most brutal of demons. Her name was engraved in their hearts as an eternal threat, and the mere fact that she had materialized there made them fear for their lives. Yet, they wouldn't dare to move. They weren't allowed to. They were all paralyzed by fear, like puppets.

"How boring," she sighed, disinterested, and walked toward the elevator, completely ignoring the eyes on her. The weight of her presence was palpable, but she was already used to provoking this kind of reaction. What she didn't expect, however, was to be stopped by one of the building's security guards.

He appeared like a mountain, standing at an imposing two meters tall, a muscular figure resembling a human wall. He positioned himself between her and the elevator, his eyes fixed on her, trying to maintain an authoritative stance.

"Sorry, ma'am. I need to ask you to leave. This is a restricted access area. The CEO is unavailable at the moment." His voice was firm, but there was no trace of courage behind his words—only blind obedience and fear disguised as professionalism.

Sapphire looked at him with unsettling calm, never averting her gaze, before her attention shifted to a little girl beside her. The woman was visibly trembling, her wide eyes filled with fear, her fingers clutching the hem of her uniform. She looked like she was about to cry, her entire body betraying the terror she felt. It wasn't the woman that Sapphire was paying attention to, but the irony of the situation: the gigantic man, who seemed so imposing at first glance, was, in fact, being used as a shield by a woman, as if he were the last line of defense.

Sapphire looked at the security guard one last time, an expression of boredom and impatience painted on her face. "Ah... new employees…" she muttered with a tone of disdain, as if she had said this hundreds of times before. "I told you not to hire new demons."

Before the security guard could react, Sapphire's hand moved with the speed of lightning. Without a sound, without a word, she raised her hand and, with a simple gesture, made the flesh and bones of the giant tear, disintegrate, and break apart into thousands of pieces. The air was filled with the sound of muffled cracks and explosions of blood as he was destroyed from the inside out. The man faltered briefly, the shock etched on his face before he was completely torn apart. The pieces of his body, his flesh and blood, scattered everywhere, covering the floor, the walls, and most notably, the elevator door, which became stained with fragments and human remains.

And, of course... the little girl... who became completely covered in blood. The girl screamed, but the sound of her voice was drowned out by the chaos unfolding. Her eyes widened even further, and she took a step back, terror visible in every movement she made.

Sapphire looked at her with an impassive expression, showing no emotion. The child trembled, her wide, frightened eyes fixed on her, but Sapphire paid her no more attention. She glanced at the pieces of the security guard on the floor, uninterested, and took a step into the elevator.

"This is what happens when you don't understand your place," Sapphire murmured, her voice low and venomous, more to herself than to anyone else. She looked at the remains of the security guard, scattered on the floor and walls, with an expression of absolute boredom. "New employees... they never learn."

Her patience was wearing thin, and with an impatient motion, she raised her voice, her crushing authority filling the space in a visceral and immediate way.

"Clean up this mess! Or you'll all die!"

Those words echoed through the room, reverberating in the minds of the employees as if they were branded into their hearts. Each demon disguised as a human, every person paralyzed by the pure force of Sapphire's presence, immediately sprang into action. The scene transformed into a frenzy of desperation and controlled panic. Everyone, absolutely everyone, started running to clean the mess she had caused, like puppets in a scene of chaos. The pieces of the security guard, now scattered around the reception, were being gathered, dragged away as blood flowed down the walls and floor. There was something almost mechanical in the way they moved, as if they were being forced by a higher will.

Sapphire watched the scene with disdain, her expression emotionless as the human spectacle unfolded before her. She shook her head slightly, a look of displeasure crossing her face. "Tsk, I'm going to fire whoever is hiring newly-born demons." Her words were laced with a threat that cut through the air like sharp blades. The simple fact that she said it was a death sentence for anyone responsible for hiring those employees.

She then turned toward the elevator panel with almost indifferent gesture, pressing the button for the top floor. The elevator doors closed silently, concealing her from everyone's view as she ascended.

The elevator finally stopped, and the doors opened with a soft sound, but the impact of her arrival was immediate. Sapphire stepped out of the metal capsule, her presence like an overwhelming weight in the air.

No words were spoken, no sound announced her arrival, and she didn't seem to care about the secretaries who were there, their hands frantic on the keyboard, their eyes trying to avoid her gaze.

Sapphire walked slowly and deliberately down the corridor, completely ignoring the employees, her steps echoing on the marble floor like a harbinger of disaster.

Each of the employees around her seemed frozen in place, but not daring to move a muscle. The mere fact that she was there made the space around her bend invisibly, as if even reality itself distorted to adjust to her power.

She made her way directly to Felicia's office, Vergil's mother, without hesitation. The door was slightly ajar, and before anyone could react, Sapphire simply pushed it open, without asking for permission, with no sign of courtesy. She didn't need an introduction. Her presence spoke for itself.

Inside the room, Felicia was seated behind a large glass desk, looking at some papers, always so serene and impeccable, but the second she saw who had entered her space, her eyes widened.

The shock was immediate, and Felicia's face turned pale, the control she had over herself breaking for a moment.

Sapphire stopped in the center of the room, her dark clothing swirling around her like smoke. The calm, calculated atmosphere that had previously dominated the space now felt like a field of tension. Felicia felt her throat tighten, fear spreading through her body like a subtle poison. She couldn't avoid the memory of what had happened the last time she encountered Sapphire.

"You... you..." Felicia began, her voice low and tense, unable to finish the sentence, the words dying on her tongue.

Sapphire looked at her with a subtle but dangerous smile, as if she could see through every facade Felicia put up. She wasn't interested in empty words or a pleasantry exchange. This wasn't the time for that.

"Oh, Felicia… I've missed you," Sapphire said, her voice smooth but laden with a palpable threat. "I was starting to wonder if you really knew how to handle your family." She paused, her expression emotionless. "Cut the crap, we're friends. I won't throw you off a building again. I'm here to talk."

Felicia tried to swallow the panic rising within her.

"I… I didn't know you'd be coming, Sapphire," Felicia said, trying to regain control. "What do you want now? I've already learned my lesson from last time."

"I'm not one to repeat what I've already taught. So don't worry, dear Felicia," Sapphire said with a nonchalant tone. She then leaned forward slightly, her voice softly dangerous. "I came to discuss… our family." Sapphire's eyes glinted like emeralds.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Shit, Vergil… what have you done this time?" Felicia wondered.
