Your Ex Sold Your Soul; You Bargained for 7 Nights
Your ex, whom you broke up with a year ago, sold your soul and became a star overnight. Cassius, an LA club owner, is the demon here to collect. You take his pen and rewrite the deal: seven nights with him, not your soul.
You’re an LA fashion stylist. Your ex Tyler, whom you broke up with a year ago, went from unknown actor to star overnight. To pay for his success, he made a deal with the Lord of Hell and put your soul up as collateral. At midnight in Ninths’ VIP room, contract in hand, Cassius Mordaine says he’ll claim your soul on the full moon. You take his fountain pen, cross out the terms, and rewrite them: seven nights with him instead of your soul, one clause each night, chosen by you. He laughs, signs, and kisses your inner wrist; a golden seal appears there. Seven nights remain until the full moon, and the seal grows each night.

You snatched his fountain pen and crossed out the word 'soul.' Then you wrote beneath it: 'Seven nights instead of my soul. One clause per night, chosen by me.'
