Eight months passed by so quickly. But for some, it was longer than a million years combined. The ones that longed for someone they can't be with anymore.Everyone noticed how sad Lucas was since that day Gabriel had to say goodbye."Would you want to hang out together?" Axel felt like he needed to cheer his brother. He had already asked Urie for a boy's night out with Adam and Orith."Shouldn't you be hanging out with your boyfriend?" Lucas had one eyebrow lifted. He knows what Axel is trying to do."How many times do I have to tell you guys, that I'm alright?" he had his voice heightened a bit. Just so the ones behind his office door could hear him clearly.He knew that everyone's worried about them lately. But what makes it worst is when they make it more obvious. By rubbing it in.Other than Lilibeth, who was always content having his son around. He was the only one without a partner. And in those times, he misses Gabriel's angry reaction each and every time."Just, let me be alon
“I’ve been accepted.” Sarah happily told Axel and Lucas. Who she considered being his family and older brothers since. Urie was there as well, as the two almost never left each other's side.“That’s good news,” Axel uttered. “But you really don’t need to study far away from us. We can always get you a high position in the company once you graduate.”“And besides, the company will need someone to run it someday. If we ever decide to get married soon.” Lucas added.Axel and Urie threw a suspicious look at Lucas.“I know, but wouldn’t it be better if I can achieve everything without you guys always backing me up?” it sounded more like a pleading than a question asked.“Fine. But promise that you’d call us every time a problem arises, deal?” said Axel.“Deal.” Sarah went to hug his two demon brothers.As well as her sister-in-law. Urie.***“What’s the problem?” Axel noticed Urie’s silence ever since they left the mansion. They’re on their way to the latter’s house.“I’m just worried abou
Sarah’s day of departure.Everyone was there except Orith. He seemed to be avoiding Sarah ever since he heard the news about her leaving.Although, it was brief. She had always liked how Orith was always there to make her feel better.She’ll definitely miss his popping out of nowhere. Bringing him snacks and making her laugh all the time. With his silly jokes.Even until the call for departure was announced. No Orith was seen anywhere.She had to leave with her shoulders slouched. And the pain that she would never see Orith again for the next few years.He might have someone special the moment she gets back.That thought merely squeezed her heart. Her eyes started to tear up without her knowing.She was given a first-class seat. One of the perks of being Axel Cartiliers younger sister.Though none of that made her happy.A passenger next to her arrived from the toilet. It sat silent and began to sleep. She was still busy looking elsewhere when she turned her glance. Something seemed f
She stood looking at George. While the latter was busy preparing their breakfast.“I need to tell you something.”George saw how serious she was. And was ready to listen.“Go on.”“I’m not what you think I am. At least, not what you would normally think of me.”“You’re not breaking up with me, are you?”“No. Not that I would want to. Not unless you decide it after hearing what I have to say.”“Which is?”“I’m not a mortal. But a demon. And a queen at that.” she made every word as clear as it could get. So that George could easily grasp the idea.The latter let out a relieved sigh.“I thought you were actually breaking up with me.” And continued to make sandwiches.“Hey, did you just hear what I said?”“Yes, that you’re not human but a devil. And a queen maybe?”“And?”“And what?” George threw back the question.“You don’t believe me, do you?”The latter shrugged upon her frustrated reaction.“I already knew everything even before meeting you that day. But I must admit, it was scarier
Inside the most grandiose palace that is owned by the most handsome and sought-after bachelor in the country. Azalel looked at a painting in his study in a very sad gesture. His eyes filled with longing and grief, not for the lost. But for missing someone.it had been thousands of years ago since he last saw that beautiful face. A face that changed not only his life but all his beliefs and everything he had fought for. His eyes focused on the image of an angel descending from heaven. While a devil with horns and a horrifying tail was looking up. Trying his best to break up the chains only to reach for the hand the angel was lending.That was the most heartbreaking scene for him. That was exactly what he was trying to do all these years. And still, he wasn’t able to get loose from the chains of his origin.I will definitely find you, and when I do, I’ll take back everything you have lost. Even if it means my life. I will definitely protect you. He made a pact to himself. And that’s wh
"What exactly did you do?" Azalel rummaged whilst entering Lucas's personal office. He is the CEO of a global enterprise. While Lucas is the president of the whole.He basically threw his very expensive phone at him. From which he did not have to dodge. With just a wave of a hand, it stopped in mid-air.Lucas looked like an angel while smiling at him. Hiding at a devil's skin."What's wrong my friend? Did I step on your tail today?" he said referring to Devon's tail in demon form."The hell you did! Who told you to organize a party in my name?" he said emphasizing the last three words with anger."I was just looking after you. I know that, unlike petty humans. Criticisms mean nothing to superior beings like us. But, it does affect the company. So I decided to take the initiative in helping you erase all those malicious contents on the internet." he seemed very proud of himself thinking that it was a wonderful idea. "Look at it this way," Lucas started walking towards him. His hand la
Azalel can't help shrugging while looking at a two-way glass above the ballroom. He was there for an hour now. And he didn't want to mingle in any way. While on the other hand, Lucas was the life of the party, trying to entertain the guests. There was even a time that he looked up at him from the ballroom. Knowing exactly how disinterested he is with the whole thing.You son of the devil, come down here. Even from his height, he can clearly read what Lucas was trying to tell him clearly."Fat-chance." he was about to make an about-face. When a group of four people entered the room.He didn't need a telescope to fairly recognize a very familiar face from that crowd."It can't be," his breath was almost like a thin rope that snapped.The glass of wine that he was idly holding fell to the elegant carpet. For others, it would mean disaster, for it was worth millions. But that didn't matter much to him. His focus never left that face that haunted his memories for a million years."Muriel
I heard the angels call againI threw myself a partyChardonnay and oxyI stopped the screams inside my headI remember when you had meFloating high like Sid and NancyThey say it's not the answer but I can't carry on'Cause I got nowhere, no one, without you boy I'm doneAnd when I'm gone, remember you're the oneAnd just because I fight don't mean that I never learned how to loveYou know devils don't fly So don't expect me not to fallDevils don't flyBut God we almost had it allBut I got chains and you got wingsYou know that life ain't fair sometimesDevils don't fly But I try"Don't you think the song had a very sad meaning?" Axel asked out of the blue.To be honest, he felt the same thing. But why does his heart hurt more than it should upon hearing his question?"Devils and angels were never a match. It's just sad that one of them had to fall for the other. Yet, their nature prevents them from being together. Or rather be friends.""Do you think the same thing?" it sounded
