The CEO's Seductive Doll-Chapter 147 - 28 going 68
"Evanescence!" The door to the CEO’s office burst open, and the intruder lacked the common decency to knock before entering.
Evan calmly shifted his eyes from the papers on his desk to the man who had stormed into his office.
"Freiheit," Evan acknowledged his brother with a nod. "I assume your visit to Manika went well—"
"I can’t believe you blocked me on every messaging platform!" Freiheit interrupted, fuming as he started to pace around the office like he owned the place.
Evan rolled his eyes, leaning back in his office chair.
"You were harassing me ever since I got engaged—"
"I wasn’t harassing you!" Freiheit said, his face red from anger. "I was warning you that you’re making the biggest mistake of your life—"
He stopped mid-sentence and mid-pace, his expression darkening as he finally focused his blue eyes on Evan’s face.
"Holy fuck," Freiheit said, his voice a mix of pity and disgust. "You look like you’ve aged forty years since the last time I saw you—and it’s only been a few months!"
"Shut the fuck up," Evan grumbled, feeling conscious of his appearance because of his brother’s words. "I don’t look that bad..."
"Yes, you do," his brother replied bluntly. "Have you seen yourself in the mirror lately?"
Evan glared at him, but he refused to react to Freiheit’s insults.
But if he were to be honest, Evan knew what his brother was saying was true. His silky crown of brown, which was formerly his pride and glory, had turned completely white. His skin was pale—almost transparent to the point where his veins could be seen—and loose.
It wasn’t just an aesthetic thing—his whole body was starting to deteriorate as well. His back had started to hunch like a shrimp, and his knees grew weak to the point where he needed to walk with a cane by his side.
"What the fuck happened to you--" Freiheit paused and shook his head. "That’s a stupid thing to ask. I know what happened to you and what is happening to you."
Evan frowned. "What are you talking about? Isn’t aging a normal human process?"
"This is not simply aging, Evan!" Freiheit shouted, startling Evan because of how aggressive his brother was acting. "You’re just 28, yet you look like you’re going to be 68 tomorrow!"
Evan crossed his arms to his chest, raising his chin.
"Well then," He exhaled loudly. "What do you think is the cause of the change of my appearance?"
"She’s doing more than just changing your appearance, Evan." Freiheit sneered.
"She?" Evan repeated before it dawned upon him, causing him to laugh dryly. "Oh, you reminded me why I blocked you on all messaging platforms! It’s because of your insane theory that Eternity has something to do--"
"She’s sucking the life out of you, Evan!" Freiheit interrupted him. "Each time you had sex, she wanted you to believe that it was your semen that she needed, but it was something else. It was something else altogether!"
Evan froze, his eyes widening like saucers.
There was a part in him that wanted to tell Freiheit to shut up because he wasn’t interested and he needed to get out of the CEO’s office or else he’d call the guards on him. But a significant part of him wanted to hear the ’truth.’
Evan was no idiot who couldn’t see or connect the dots together. He knew there was something wrong, no matter how unrealistic the reason might be.
Freiheit noticeably calmed down the moment he realized he had Evan’s full attention.
"Are you willing to listen now?" He asked.
Evan nodded.
"Evan," Freiheit said in a grim tone. "She’s sucking your life force, like some sort of real succubus."
Hearing the absurdity of what he had just heard, Evan couldn’t help but snort.
"And where did you get this information?" he asked sarcastically, but before his brother could respond, he continued. "Well, wherever it was, that’s a pretty stupid thing to believe in."
Freiheit gave him a look as if Evan were the one who was stupid.
"I literally traveled to Manika to unravel the secrets of the Eternity Women," his brother pointed out. "I got my information from 𝘵𝘩𝘦 creator of these dolls: The Maestra."
"The Maestra?" Evan repeated in disbelief. "That’s their name?"
"No one on the island knows the Maestra’s real name," he explained.
"How convenient!" the CEO huffed. "Just to keep their ’magical’ facade, am I right?"
Freiheit knitted his eyebrows together.
"Why are you in such disbelief of the existence of the Eternity Women’s creator when you’re fully benefiting, or, should I say, currently suffering, from her creation?"
"That’s the same argument as, ’How can you be an atheist if God didn’t make your existence possible?" Evan pointed out.
"That’s not the point!" Freiheit argued. "Stop being a smartass and listen to me, Evan! Your fiancée is a fucking sex doll that sucks your life force."
"That just doesn’t sound believable," he frowned. "I mean, a 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴? Really, Freiheit?"
His brother scoffed, throwing his hands up in the air as if he had given up.
"Yes, Evan. A fucking succubus." Freiheit said, slowly losing patience with his adopted brother. "You know what doesn’t sound believable to me? You got engaged with a sex doll that magically turns alive, but you don’t accept the reason why she became alive in the first place!"
Evan paused, considering the points his brother made.
"Ah," Freiheit exclaimed. "I think I know the reason for your unwillingness to accept the truth."
Evan raised an eyebrow at him, and the hair on his brows was also graying.
"And that is?"
"The Maestra told me that she made the Eternity Women have the magical ability to seduce anyone to the point of making their targets head over heels towards them. In other words..."
"In other words?" Evan repeated.
"Eternity has completely turned you into her bitch," Freiheit said dryly.
Evan wanted to tell him to go fuck himself and leave, but he felt a sudden pain in his chest. It wasn’t like any pain that he encountered before. It literally left him breathless, and he felt like he was going to die.
"Evan?" Freiheit asked worriedly as he watched his brother cough and gasp while grabbing his chest for dear life. "Are you—fuck, someone, call the ambulance!"
