Joel had dropped his assistant at the company before heading towards the airport. As promised, it didn't take him more than 20 minutes to get there.He stepped out of his Lexus ride and raised his brow when he spotted his friend with a big sun shade covering half his face, while standing in an imposing manner, as if waving people off from him.Joel spotted him easily. Even if the man had his back towards him, he would still recognize him. He was about to call him to come out of the lounge anyway, but it appears his friend had been waiting for him.His eyes searched the inside of each car that arrived intensely, under his shade, and it didn't take long for their eyes to meet.Taking large strides towards Joel, he soon caught up with Joel, who had done the same.As if he wasn't the one cursing Joel on the phone earlier, they both shared a friendly hug. "Welcome, bro. Sorry I came late." Joel said as they parted."Let's just leave. Thanks for coming to pick me up." Adam replied, walking t
Inside an average looking bar that managed to host big shots and normal individuals, due to the management, activities, special services, and security, Joel could be seen discussing some things with Adam. The club was filled with people, and through the VIP booth they were seated in, they could see how people were having a nice time through the transparent glass.In front of them was a cream coloured table with 2 glasses of light yellow wines that still had half their content.A waiter was at a standby to fill their glass once they were done.One of the privileges of taking a VIP booth.Also, a reason for the club to be well frequented by people. They offer special service. The waiter was a female who was dressed to seduce. They were only in charge of VIP customers and offered special services if the customer is interested. She was asked to stay outside due to them having a private talk. Hence, both friends were left to their privacy.They engrossed in a serious conversation. Joel
"Gosh!" Nima exclaimed as the memory of her conversation with Joel surfaced in her memory.She wondered if she was being too forward, but can she help it?She felt so attracted to Joel to the point that she couldn't explain it. The moment she gave in and had decided to meet with him, her mind kept drifting to him every now and then.They had picked a date for the dinner date, which had gotten her panicked at first, but Emily had helped her to get over her anxiety. She only has to focus on the man she's meeting.She was currently sitting on her balcony, a small table placed before her, a glass of wine, and a bottle that still holds over half of its content beside it.A novel could also be seen at the edge of the table.She has been trying to read but couldn't concentrate. The novel happened to be a dark romance, which just fueled her desires and imaginations.It got difficult to concentrate on the plot without substituting the events with her imagination of moments with the man she bar
The human world experienced a similar phenomenon to 5 years ago, but this time, it lasted longer.The sky rumbled, shaking the heart of everyone. Lighting streak through the sky as if something was forcefully trying to tear through its surface.It was nighttime, but the constant lightning illuminated the land one moment, going dark the next, m4aking it a light show.A dangerous one.People panicked as an unknown fear struck their hearts, and within a few minutes of this phenomenon, the streets of the city were empty. Birds vacate the sky, hiding in a safer spot, while the stray cats and dogs seek shelter at every corner available. Every being felt their heart unsettled as if horror was about to strike them down.The same feeling that they had felt 5 years before, which no one managed to find a reason for.Infants cried uncontrollably, making the panic of the family with children intensified. Some had even tried to make calls to the police department for some assurance that the world
"Okay! That was weird and scary." Nima commented, feeling her skin crawling at the recollection of how the event of the past minutes made her feel.She was back in her living room, sleep totally evading her as the fear had alerted her brain completely. Emily, however, looked concerned and dazed.Leaving Gama as they had done wasn't the best of decisions. She and Nima hadn't been in love with Gama, but he was someone dear to their heart. Their departure must have broken him.Emily hates a situation where she and Nima would have to go against Gama to be with Joel.The drama will be a big headache because Nima won't recognise him.Gama, however, will demand explanations…Emily's view of Gama was so naive that she was only thinking of avoiding confrontation. The thought that Gama might try to hurt Joel never crossed her mind because Gama had once allowed her to look for her mate.He had told her he would give up if she found him because he only wanted the best for her.To see her happy.
(Demon World)"Inflicting pain on others wasn't as fun as it used to be.Your smile made it enjoyable. I fought wars with tears. Despite winning, I felt like a loser.Your high spirit kept everything worth it.I miss you, Nimalaya.I'm going crazy here.Why did you leave me?Did you leave, or did the enemies get to you?Nimalaya, I killed, tortured, and abducted. I've interrogated countless, but I still couldn't find you.It was as if….As if..." The last sentence was unable to be spoken out of his mouth.He could only say it in his mind that it was as if she had left their world.But how?Nimalaya had always been there. She was happy with him. Yes, she had changed a week after they were ambushed by a demon, whom her mate was killed by his men.She had rambled on about how the demon could be brave enough to attempt killing them, despite how she had feared them before her mate's death.He had told her he would do the same for her, but no one would dare hurt her under his watch anyway
"Isth hata bentham….."Gasp"Maybe her trick could work on me, but trust me that I will rip your head off if you whisper one more nonsense." Gama threatened the witch he had been holding onto her neck.Hundreds of his minions were doing the same thing.They had chosen a good setting. An empty land that was the location of their scuffle with enemies.It was the unclaimed boundary that had been turned to battlefield, as it is the space that defined all territories. After the ancient witch disappeared, she hadn't been seen, and as the woman had predicted, he hunted down the witches that felt they were invisible. He searched every corner and choked then out with his unique smoke ability. They weren't simple either and put up a good fight.He lost so many men due to being at a disadvantage. If he killed any of them, the old witch wouldn't forgive him and might become a headache. She doesn't get involved in demons scuffles but could side with an enemy to fight against him and with her a
Gama had his guards up as the witch made them appear inside a cave.It was dark and disturbingly quiet with two dark eyes with silver lines of creatures. Gama guessed to be birds and stared at him from different angles in the dark space.With a few whispers from the witch's mouth, the place had lit up and looked around the space he sneered.If not for the power the witch held and the help he needed, Gama would have killed her for making him step foot in a place like this, but if he would kill her, he must not miss, or he would have a vengeful witch on his tail and the thought of it was unpleasant. There were five raven at each corner of the space, looking like a statue, as they gave intently at him. Those were the eyes he saw in the dark.A few items similar to what he had seen at the other witches' hideout were displayed everywhere. A shelf with odd looking scrolls and Grimoires, jars with creatures like snakes, lizards, and other reptiles were enclosed in them.He was getting impat
