Of course this son of a rock would say something like this.
“Eh?”“I know that I’m charming, but you can never break this confidion.”“As if! Have you ever looked in the mirror?” I yelled at him, knowing damn well he did. The beauty of this man was like a grocery store’s new and untouched plastic bag.It was me who couldn’t look into the mirror without cracking it.“I’m sorry?”“Yes! There’s no way in the world I could fail this confidition…” now I was the one laughing it.“So, would you be ready to sign it?”“I would like to see the contract first.” I crossed my arms around my chest and lifting my right eyebrow, I stared into him.A short sigh left his lips like a cunami in the middle of the ocean, for no reason.“Yes, of course.”While I looked at the bar, through the darkness of this room to see what Brett was doing, surprisingly the contract appeared on the table.I don’t know how he did it, maybe he was keeping it ready just in case he knew I’d say yes.I felt like a used blanket, ‘am I so predictable?’“Here, sign here and the deal is done.”His look was a bit too confident, there must been a catch, so I decided to look at it myself.“Part A must obey all the requirements of the part B-“ a smile made its way on itself when I read that part…’everything, eh…’I kept reading it, “part A must fulfill all the wishes of the part B in exchange for the part B’s time.”The contract was simple and easy, all I needed was to give him my time and I didn’t even see anything sexual being involved in it. I was ready.Being too lazy and tired, I didn’t even bothered to read the rest or what was written in the small letters.It’s always something meh, I didn’t care, whatever it was, I’m sure it wasn’t even important to remember.“Where do I sign?” I asked him while I was done reading this unreasonable contract.“Here, but give me your finger.”It was a strange request, but I decided to follow his lead, “sure, take it.”“Ouch!” I felt how a small, sharp pain went through my index finger, “blood?” I got confused.“Could you place it on part B’s place?”“S-sure…” it felt like I was signing my soul away into a sect.It was a strange method of signing something, and I’m sure a lot of bailiffs companies would love that type of method too.“There! Done!” He felt relaxed, “I will find you tomorrow at work. Don’t forget about me.”As if would be hard enough to do so, every garbage on the street reminds me of you.“Goodbye.”And just like that, that son of a goat got up and left.“Sigh…” the conversation seemed so short, but apparently it wasn’t.Strangely, when I looked around, people were already leaving. I looked at the watch that was next to a bar, “4 am!?” I shouted. It was time to go.I rushed into the dressing room, got changed and left the building.On my way, counting my bucks felt amazing… I got paid for doing what I do every day at work, making funny remarks at my boss. But this time, I was paid to do so. “Life is great.”I snuck into my house, and straight into my bed, In just a couple of hours, I was going to have to wake up.*bbbrr*“I swear down, if it beeps like this one more time, I will toss it through the window.”“Good morning, darling, it’s time for work.”My mom welcomed me with a morning kiss.I opened my eyes completely, she was sitting in from of me. Her eyes seemed like it was exhausted from all the burned she had carried within herself.The dry skin on her face was also another sign of her sickness, ‘just wait a little bit…’“Mom, did the hospital call you?”“Yes, I will need to go there tomorrow.”“Okay, I will go with you.”She let a long sigh out, “no need to, you have work to attend.”Remembering yesterday’s conversation with that empty plastic bag, I didn’t need to worry, “I’ll come during my break.”As she left, I took a quick shower to brighten my brain and prepare myself for this mental torture, “today is going to be easy…” I whispered to myself as I looked into the mirror again.I was almost done ready getting ready, but a stingy pain in my index finger made me stop.“What the hell?”I looked down and saw that the exact same finger I have signed a contract with was dark red, turning blue and was taking half of the tip. “Did he perhaps put poison inside of it?” I wouldn’t be surprised if he actually did, but I had to brush this idea away.“Nevermind!” I continued with preparations.I kissed my mom’s forehead and left the house, quite in a good mood, I wanted to smile.People around me also looked happier than usual, “maybe something is in the air,” I smiled while putting my bag closer to me in case of theft.My past mistakes weren't going to be repeated by the idiot me.*beep* *beep*That sound brought me back to reality, “what?” I yelled at the driver as I was going to punch his car with my bag.“You’re moody today, get in!”“The jerk!” I gritted my teeth, as I tried to compose myself to pretend like I wasn’t going to curse his next three generations.“No, thank you, my legs work just fine.”“Just get it, we have some unfinished business from yesterday!”No idea what unfinished business he was talking about, but I had no intentions of getting late.“No, thanks. I will be late.” I replied immediately.“Did you forget that I’m the CEO? Get it!”“Shit!” The jerk was right, “fine!”I got inside his car, and murmured under my breath. I didn’t like the idea of being in the same car with him, what if my colleagues will see us? The last thing I wanted was rumors, “Ary- I…”I turned to look at him, but he had a weird grimace on his face. He looked like someone who won a lottery, someone who was very pleased with himself.“So… From today on, you’re officially my slave.”“Aren’t you looking good?” Devi’s voice was filled with excitement when she saw Aryan. Aryan, letting out a long sigh, responded with a question, “Devi, why are you here?” Devi chuckled as she was getting closer to Aryan. “Don’t you miss us? Aren’t you lonely in the human world?” “Devi, go back.” She pushed her red long curls down from her shoulders, and stared at him with her red eyes, “Why should I? I’m here now. Why should I go back?” “Can you just not get on my nerves tonight?” Devi rolled her eyes and put her hand on his right shoulder, placing her chin on it, she looked at sleeping Reina. “Is this your dinner? You know how much I love human blood, can I join you?” “She’s not my dinner, and you can’t join me. Unless…you would like me to tear you apart?” Aryan smiled sinisterly. Devi’s laughter echoed softly through the room, her red eyes felt like they were dancing. "Oh, Aryan, always the charming one, aren't you? Such a shame you can't appreciate the finer things in l
Aryan’s POV: “Please, wake up!” Shit!” Aryan clenched his jaw while trying to make Reina wake up from her sudden sleep. He needed the human blood to breathe properly, and he thought that hers would be just like any other normal blood, but he was wrong. The blood he drank from Reina was sensational, not only was it pure and delicious, but he couldn’t stop drinking it. ‘What have I done?’ He bit his lip when lifting Reina in his arms. He looked at her small nose that looked like a child’s, then turned to look at her eyelashes that seemed to be longer than a river. Her perfectly shaped heart lips were now dry and out of colour. “Please, please! Reina!” He tapped on her cheek, trying to wake her up but it didn’t work. Aryan's heart rushed as he held Reina's sleeping form, realizing the grave mistake he had made. “Fuck!” The allure of her blood had been too strong, and now he faced the consequences of his actions. “Reina! Reina!” Desperation filled him as he continued to call
“Why do we have to go there, and who was the person that died?” I asked him.He wasn’t someone to burst out with answers immediately, as a weird devil, he liked to keep himself closed.“Someone you don’t know, but I need you to recognise this person for me…”“Aryan, am I your servant?”“No, but we have a contract together, so you must obey me.”I breathed in and breathed out, slowly turning to him, “like…was it written on the contract that I will be your slave?”“No, but it was written that you must obey me.”As we looked at each other, I saw how his eyes twisted weirdly. His brown eyes had a crimson shine in it, and his forehead was slowly turning red.“Are you okay?” I asked.“I am, now get ready…”He didn’t look okay and was like a minute away from falling apart. “Aryan…you’re falling!” My eyes widened as he started to fall slowly and dramatically.He looked like a princess that wanted to be saved. I quickly adjusted my grip as Aryan fell into my arms, his normally composed pose
As Jake hung up the phone, a sense of guilt sank inside of him. He knew that he was playing a dangerous game, one that could hurt Reina in the end. But he also had his reasons, reasons that were tied to a web of pain and secrets that he couldn't easily share.He leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. His feelings for Reina were genuine, but they were also complicated by his hidden agenda. He had to protect her, even if it meant manipulating the situation. It was a fine line he was walking, and he hoped that in the end, it would all make sense.As he thought about the bouquet of flowers he had sent to Reina, he couldn't help but wonder how she would react. Would she be angry? Confused? Intrigued? It was all part of his plan to stir up emotions and create chaos, but he couldn't predict how she would respond.Jake knew that he had a long road ahead of him, filled with deception and uncertainty. But he was determined to see it through, to protect Reina at all costs, even if it meant be
“Did you not hear what I just said? I want to go home!” My voice cracked a little, but who cared right now.“Is it because of him? It’s because of him, you don’t want me to take you anywhere special?”Jake clearly had lost his mind right now, “not because of him…” I breathed out.“What’s so special about him? Wasn’t he your rude boss and the one you hated the most? And what with this devilish thing anyway?!”He was right…What was about him anyway, why was I so angry and what made me feel this dizzy when I saw him coming?Was it his charm? The long black eyelashes and those black eyes that drag you like the universe inside. His short hair that is always looked well after, his tense hands that are always warm whenever he touches you. The sarcastic, yet gentle smile that makes you forget about the reasons why you were even mad at him, and the danger he puts you in…Oh…That adrenaline that makes you inhale every possible piece of air, gag on it and then swallow it like a good girl, ‘wha
The standoff continued, the atmosphere in the bar grew increasingly heavy. Aryan and Jake locked eyes, both of them were unwilling to back down. I felt a small drop on my cheek, ‘oh?’ I touched it to wipe it down, ‘is this sweat?’ I was boiling so much, I didn’t even notice my own sweaty forehead. Being torned between the almighty Aryan and my loyal friend seemed like a mission impossible right now.But just when it seemed like the situation was about to reach a breaking point, a loud, annoying voice cut through the tension. "What's going on here? A lover's spat?"We all turned to see a third person, an obnoxious guy with disheveled hair and a wide grin on his face was staring at us. He stumbled closer, clearly drunk, and poked Aryan's chest. "Hey, big guy, I think she's had enough of you."Aryan's grip on my wrist loosened slightly as he turned his attention to the intruder. "Get lost, you fool," he muttered, clearly annoyed by the interruption.But the annoying guy didn't seem t
