Prologue
"Let me go there. I'll do anything; just let me go!" The young actor pleaded, losing the shred of dignity he had left. He wasn't normally the sort of person who'd do something like this, but the circumstances were such; he had no other choice. He fell to his knees, begging. "Please, sir… I swear, I'll do whatever you ask! Just let me…" He trailed off, unsure of how to continue.
"Anything, you say?" The older man smirked evilly, looking down at the obviously helpless youngster.
"Anything," he replied, looking up, his eyes filled with innocence and desperation. The weak helplessness was even more evident in his tone. He stood up, and continued to plead, "Please, just let me go…"
"You may go." His deep blue eyes flashed with hope, and the horrible opportunist continued to speak, "On one condition." He held up a thick booklet - the life-changing contract. "Will you sign this, Chad?"
"I'm ready to sign anything. I'll do whatever you say," Chad said quickly. He was sure. He didn't care what he'd have to do to get what he wanted.
"Okay. You'll sign this special contract," Condor decided, after a short pause.
"Anything," Chad repeated, firmly.
"You'll sign all these papers, in front of all these witnesses."
"I'll do anything if you promise to just let me go!" Chad yelled, almost tearing up as he glanced over his shoulder at the group of unfamiliar men seated on the couches behind. How despicable – they just sat there, watching all of the drama. But Chad didn't care about terms and conditions at that moment – he just had to make sure Mr Condor's answer was a 'yes'.
"Just remember… You asked for it," Condor said, glaring at him.
"Thank you, sir…" Chad said, his voice cracking.
He took the contract from the boss' hands, and signed on each dotted line without even reading the paragraphs and paragraphs of small print. He was desperate. He'd never even dreamed that he'd have to see a day like this. But what was a man to do in the world, without the mountains of money he once had? And how was he to live without the one person who never even cared about those petty things, unlike so many others?
He needed her.
He didn't care what he had to lose – all he cared about was fulfilling his promise to her. Before she left, she'd made him promise to visit her as soon as he could. He wasn't going to break that promise, even though it had been two years since they'd last seen each other. He just had to see her again.
And for the sake of this promise, he unknowingly sold his soul to the man he had no idea would turn out to be the devil…
So, let me know what you guys think!
