DARK PARADISE

🖤🖤🖤

"We can't go on like this, Alfred! Come on, do it something. You're the head of the family, you have to act so that your company rises again. I don't want to live poor!"

"I don't want to drop out of college either, Dad! If I drop out of college, what will my friends say? They can make fun of me all over! Especially if the reason I quit college is that Dad went bankrupt!"

Dizzy because his wife and children kept babbling, Alfred finally pounded the table in front of him until the two women fell silent.

"Can you be quiet for a moment? I'm having a headache! You only think about money and money, but don't help me find a way out," said Alfred, who was already annoyed.

"I told you, just sell your eldest daughter so we can get rich!" Caroline came to her husband. "She's beautiful, smart, what man doesn't like her? She's the only one who pretends to be expensive and acts like she doesn't want to be caressed,"

Inara also approached her mother and father. "That's right, Dad. Who knows, if Irina stops studying, the scholarship will automatically transfer to me! Is she the only one who wants to get a college scholarship? I want it too," the girl grumbled.

"Indeed, if we sell it, how much will we get? One hundred million? Two hundred million? That won't be enough!"

Caroline smiled. "We have to sell it at a very high price, enough to make your company rise again so that we don't go bankrupt,"

"You're crazy!" Alfred couldn't stop thinking. "You think, by selling Irina, our wealth will return and increase? Have you forgotten how stupid and innocent that child is but you want to sell her? If there is a buyer, we will return her to us and take the money back!"

"Yes, then what? You want to sell our house? Listen, Alfred. I don't want to live poor, especially if I leave this house. It's fine," Caroline was annoyed.

"Never mind, Dad. Just follow what Mommy says, we'll sell Irina so we can get rich again," Inara said, which made Alfred look at him annoyed.

"You're as stupid as your Mom! All you think about is money, money, money! But no

think about other things that are no less important!" Alfred rebuked.

Caroline glared at her husband. "Eh, why do you even call me stupid?!"

"Arrgh, whatever! I'm tired, I'd better just sleep. I'll take care of this matter later," Alfred decided and quickly left.

Meanwhile, Inara, who saw her father leaving, suddenly frowned. "Mom, I don't want to stop studying, I still want to enjoy my youth," the girl whined to Caroline.

"Yes, darling. You won't stop studying, Mama guarantees me. Mommy already has an idea so Daddy's company doesn't go bankrupt."

Approaching her husband in the room, Caroline threw her cell phone which was displaying an article that Alfred could see directly.

"Lucifer, the King of all demon Kings who can fulfill all human desires, as long as humans submit to him and are willing to turn away from God."

"What's this?" Alfred asked after reading the article that Caroline presented.

"The solution to our problems." Caroline replied with a floating smile.

Alfred frowned in confusion. "You want us to ally with the Demon Luficer to get rich again?"

"Exactly right!" Caroline nodded firmly. "You know, Lucifer is the highest throne among devils, he is invincible. He can grant any wish we make, as long as there is reciprocity."

Caroline approached Alfred then sat on the edge of the bed, watching Alfred digest her words.

"You bet it will successful?" Alfred seemed doubtful.

Caroline once again nodded. "Yes, of course. As long as we can give back to the devil, he will make us rich."

"How about reciprocity?"

"Reciprocity as a sacrifice, Alfred." Caroline stared closely at her husband.

"He will give us what we want, everything. As long as we can sacrifice to him according to the agreement."

Alfred seemed to be considering his wife's words. Indeed, currently there is no visible solution to their problem. Could this be the solution you are looking for?

"How do we make a pact with the Luficer Demon?" Alfred asked to the core. The man was very desperate because the company was threatened with bankruptcy.

"I don't know, because there is no article that explains how to summon him. But it looks like we really need help from someone who is an expert in things like that," explained Caroline.

Alfred is again considering his decision to raise the name of Joel's company again, which is already threatened with bankruptcy.

If he doesn't act immediately, his family will fall into poverty. The house may also be confiscated by the bank.

Not long after, Alfred finally nodded too. "I know where we can find someone who will help us."
