Jacob felt his eyes heat up. Tears of anger and pain threaten Claire as the perpetrator. He trusted her but that would be the return. He still thought that somehow, Claire also had feelings for him. He thought that Claire was also happy to be with him always.But despite Jacob’s anger at Claire's greed, he was unable to harm the woman. Either way, it had a heavy weight for him. It must be a stupid thing, anger is overcome by intense love for her. He knew his family would never forgive Claire if they found out what she did to him. They might even kill the girl. And he couldn't harm Claire.So, until when? How long will he stand for stupidity?Jacob felt the bedroom door open and close. He pretended to sleep. They will definitely take samples from him again. And he was not mistaken when he felt the needle in his vein."Why is there no blood in here?"Jacob heard a mixture of surprise and amazement in the voice of the newly arrived foreign scientist."That's what I'm saying. He has no bl
The emergency alert of the room Jacob is in is loud. The apprentices began to panic as the monitor beeped and Jacob began to flatline. Doctors entered the room one after the other and tried to revive the body. But some CPR has been done. The maximum joules for defibrillation protocol have also been reached in those who have cardiovascular malfunction or cardiac arrest."What's happening? Why did he suddenly have a cardiac arrest?" a chemist asked in panic."We still don't know yet. We will find out later," replied the other who also reviving Jacob."Oh, hi, Claire!" greeted Doc Mia enthusiastically when Claire went to the house. They don't talk much anymore so he did it on purpose. She needs someone to talk to now and as the doctor said, she is always willing to listen to her.But Claire was surprised by the actions of the doctor. First, the guards guarded the area. Second, she hardly ever goes to the hospital where she works at. She used to stay in the hospital office more often than
Claire gasped as Gami let go of her hand. Her tears flowed again. She felt the pain in her chest from the past. The sins she committed. All the guilt and tiredness. Now, she is free from that life.But is her soul free from guilt? Did her death pay the guilt for the death of the vampire she loved? I do not think so. Why is her chest still heavy despite of everything?"Let me tell you how you ended your life," said Gami who started walking.Claire seemed to lose the ability to think and just followed. She accompanies the soul reaper in walking unlike other souls who are ahead of this soul reaper."Of course, I've been following you because I know it's your time. When you got to the place with the high cliff, you just left your car on the highway and approached the cliff. You apologized to Jacob several times before you finally jumped. When you fell down, your head hit a large chunk of rocks. Your skull was cracked. But then, the moment you landed, you didn't know that the vampire was f
"In exchange for me returning to the world as Claire?""Yes. But while you're still working on our deal, I'll take your memory first. Maybe you'll cheat on me and do your unfinished business before our deal is done. I'll give you your memory back when I get the soul of two illuminati. But there's more!"Gami raised one leg on the center table, then propped his elbow on his knee and then caught his chin facing her. Claire could only see his red lips. And his smile seemed to have a deep meaning."I'll light your life candle, Claire. Forty-five days. You have to make the deal within forty-five days. When your life candle runs out and you haven't done what I'm asking you to do, then the deal is over.""Wait... just wait. What’s life candle?" Claire seemed to want to panic about the condition. What if she can't do that within forty-five days?"Don't you have unfinished business? You have an allotted time to resolve that or else you will become a soul reaper with no memory of your past life
As soon as Jacob entered the night bar, his eyes caught what he was looking for. It was a party of a group enjoying themselves in the hidden part of that noisy and chaotic bar.Jacob walked closer to the group which if he is not mistaken is a group of those who made a deal with the bad elements in exchange for a huge wish and is called the illuminati in the country. He was staring at a particular woman that he couldn't mistake for anyone else. He could feel the familiar loss of his heart. He could smell its appetizing blood energy. He only felt that with one woman... Claire. The mortal he loved and thought betrayed him. What happened twenty years ago would not have happened if he was not late to save her.Remembering the old days, it made a deep prick inside his heart. And it's as if yesterday is happening now.As he got closer, the woman's form became clearer and Jacob's heart beat faster.She was kind of different now. So wild, so hot, and alluringly sexy.But like before, Claire st
Claire has to finish the mission within forty-five days. Or else, she would be dead!She will be definitely dead."What happened to you? Why are you like that? Have you traded your soul for a short life in this world? Tell me, what did you do and you're here again? Who did you trade life with? What are the conditions you did? Answer me!"Claire was stunned. “What is this man talking about? Is he going crazy? What does he know about my life? If he speaks it's as if he's known me for a long time." she said to herself. "Please let me go, Mister! I also have things to do. My time is really precious and I don't have time to talk to you!" She struggled furiously.Jacob still hasn't released her. Instead, he grabbed her by the waist to get closer to her body.Claire began to feel feelings she didn't know how to explain. “Who was this man, really?”Claire stared at him for a long time. And she couldn't understand why she seemed to see a mixture of anger and excitement in the boy's fiery blue
"So, the witch did come back!"Jacob turned to see Zara but he didn't say anything more. He was more focused on his own grin as he watched Claire re-enter the bar with the man. “The nerve of that man to touch her!” he said to himself.What does he care? What and he's squealing? Shouldn't he not care anymore?Jacob is a big fool. Yes him. He is the fool. Because of the weakness of the trust he has for the mortal. He heard from Mia's mind, once she was walking in the darkness of the night with too much guilt. She lost one of his friends because of greed. Mia copied Claire's research about his skin and led the girl to discover his condition. It was preceded by insecurity because it strongly believes that if Claire gives the answer to the mystery of his skin, Claire will become famous. It will be preceded by the girl who will reach the top of the victory. So, she deceived the girl. Preceded before taking a step. Claire knew nothing of what was happening to her at that time. But Mia's poin
Claire's chest was completely attacked by nervousness. Who is this? Is this also a madman like the handsome man in gothic attire earlier? She seems to be a victim of mistaken identity.Claire struggled again and planned to explain but to her shock, the stranger just grabbed her by the waist, then firmly grabbed her chin. His fingers almost sunk into her cheek with the pressure of his grip. It was as if her bones would break from the tightness of his grip.Why can't he get away? Gami have carried her to the mortal world, why hasn't he been given superpowers yet? So that she can defend herself in dangerous situations like that."Will you come with me or will I take your soul?" his dangerous threat."Wait, who are you? What do you need from me?!" Claire wanted to complain because she was really terrified of the dangerous feeling that the man brought. But she insisted on fighting. She need to fight.The man smiled sarcastically. "It's only been twenty years and you've already forgotten me
