The greatest loss of human beings is when they are being abandoned or betrayed.

“So what do you want to do, Milady?” Leon asked. He stood beside Felen, waiting for the decision his future bride would make.
Right now, they were in a tall building that made it easy to see the surrounding area. Felen, who was spying Barend and his new family from quite a distance away, ignored his question.
Her mind was in deep thought after seeing Abelard, who had grown up. He looked exactly alike to young Barend. They are like two peas in a pond. She was sure that no one would doubt him as Barend’s son, even if others knew he was from the slums.
Something crossed her mind.
She glanced at Leon. She assumed he knew what happened to her family.
“What’s wrong? Do you want to ask something?” As if he had expected that she would ask something, he replied, with a teasing grin.
She scoffed in disbelief. However, right
The Pandora’s box is opening. Between hope, despair, and awareness — which will come forth and welcome Felen later? *** Felen stepped into Leister’s manor with imperfect plans. She still wore an innocent-looking smile, hoping it would reduce Barend’s suspicion. She ignored the piercing gaze from Abelard. Not even once she glanced at him. She hated him for snatching her position, so she didn’t want to get involved with him anymore. Her goal is to avenge Aghnya on Barend. “You’d better change your clothes first, then come have dinner with us,” Barend said to her. “The maid will help you with all your needs.” A maid approached Felen. She bowed respectfully, then escorted her upstairs. The maid leads her to her childhood room before moving to the west building. When the large doors opened wide, every corner of the room was clearly visible. The whole interior had changed from what she remembered. No more child
What does a family mean? *** ‘Deadly poison?’ The corners of Felen’s lips rose, showing a wide grin that could make others shiver with horror. A second later, her expression distorted. Regardless of Leon’s true intentions, she thanked him for telling her that information or else it would lead to her death. She turned around and grabbed Abelard’s hand. Surprise flashed in his clear green eyes, seeing Felen’s demeanour changed 180 degrees, as if their conversation earlier had never happened. It confused him, yet he got along with her plans. “Let’s go together, Abelard,” she said in a cheerful voice. Barend noticed Felen and Abelard. He greeted them with a fake smile. She realised it, yet she smirked with a stony gaze as an intimidating aura emitted from her. She is not naïve. Her instincts had sensed that Barend plotted something behind the ‘loving father’ attitude he showed. “Papa.” Felen t
Humans often exceed our expectations, the demons. *** Barend’s room was right in front of her, but Felen still didn’t dare to enter it. Horror and anxiety stuffed her as memories of her childhood time was dashing through her mind. Death and being on the verge of death were her greatest fear. She had experienced it two times at all. As Abelard had told before, her life might be in danger. Her father would kill her tonight. The chance was high. “Are you hesitating because your fear is greater than your thirst for revenge or your beloved brother’s words influenced you?” Leon revealed his death god-like figure in front of her. “How weak!” he boosted, insulting her again. “I’m not weak!” She scoffed. The way he belittled her in every chance pissed her off. He crossed his arms in a daunting, haughty manner. His gaze demanded her to complete her plan right now. “Then do it. I gave you the dagger
Humans are full of surprises. *** Felen’s body shook with anger. Her adrenaline was racing, and she craved to vent his resentment by crushing Barend. The small dagger in her pocket was keen to be used to torture his father. However, the ropes tying her hands, feet, and upper body restricted her from performing it. She looked back up at Leon, who kept ignoring her. “Untie me, Leon!” This time, there was no pleading tone in her voice. She told him to help her untie the ropes that bound her entire body. “Why should I do such a troublesome thing, Felenia?” He grinned. The scene in front of him was quite enjoyable, but he had no intention of doing something without being paid handsomely. Her brain thought hard about what could draw him. Then, she said what runs into her mind without a second thought. “I’ll show you an amusing show.” There was not the slightest hesitation in her voice when she said those words
Let your soul sink deeper and deeper and I’ll welcome you in the bottomless abyss. *** The sky was getting darker and louder than the thunder. The humid air and the powerful smell of soil and plants show that rain will soon fall on the earth. It just waited for the right time to pour the water above the clouds. The wind came from the west was blowing hard and touched Felen’s pale cheeks. The weather was getting worse. It might even be more difficult for her to traverse the maze. Since Barend chased her out and aimed for her life. “Felenia!” His father’s voice resonated again. She didn’t move an inch from her position while covering her mouth with both hands. Hoping he wouldn’t find her hiding place. Sweat covered almost all over her body as she held her breath. She was too tired. Yet her sense worked well. The night with fog didn’t prevent her from seeing her surrounding. She could also hear his low footsteps in
Dream is the first thing people abandon when they understand how this world works.***A month in the human world has passed. Though in the demon world, it’s only been a few days and Felen hadn’t woken up from her slumber. The honey brown-haired girl with beautiful jade-coloured eyes was still in the dream maker’s arms while lying comfortably on the soft bed with velvet sheets.She wouldn’t notice that there was a figure seeing her in the distance. Her silk nightgown looked dreamy, revealing the seductive curves of her virgin body.There was no voice in the room other than her breath, giving off a peaceful vibe. At the far end of the room, Leon observed her with a curious look. He hadn’t been absent from visiting her since she returned to the demon world. He checked her every two hours and made sure there were no oddities that might endanger her life.Once or twice in a day, he had witne
You bind my soul, and I will enforce you in the same way so that your lips never tell lies.***“Get dressed. I’ll show you something.”After saying that, Leon got up. Without turning back to see Felen’s reaction. He left her alone, and she could only remain silent.One thing for sure was that his calmness gave her an uncomfortable feeling. He brought up the kiss that she had not paid off. Kissing him wasn’t the first time, but she still couldn’t do it.She remembers the excitement when their lips touched.She subconsciously touched her pink lips in slow motions, soaking up their soft texture. The blush that graced her cheeks grew brighter to the earlobe, but it didn’t last long as a knock on the door caught her attention.“Miss, we come to help you prepare.” The voice behind the door was firm.A bunch of white bunnies appeared together through the door afte
Everything has a reasonable price.***“What kind of swear do you want me to do?”Leon waited for Felen, who seemed mulling over her words. As she stepped forward to get closer to him and the small table in front of him, her lusty lips uttered an astonishing sentence.“I want you to swear to never tell a lie to me forever. Of course, in the name of Lucifer, the Great Demon and Leoniel— on your behalf. If you violate it, I will forever obliterate you from this world- both the demon world and the afterlife.” She explained.“... How mean, Milady?”She rolled her eyes lazily. “You’re even meaner than this, sir,” she hissed and crossed her arms in a haughty manner.She didn’t flinch, even though he glared at him. Her gaze hadn’t moved an inch from his silvery, glowing eyes.“Milady, you’re a pretty annoying and ... vindictive girl.”His eyes narrowed.
