"Hey, wait." Just as Sunny was about to start his bike when a voice heard behind him. He saw it was Bethany, and it made him think about the reason because she wasn't a kind of easy-going girl, but he found her interesting. "Hi. Can I help you with something?" Sunny asked as he parked the bike, hooking the key in his finger he came to the woman, and his tone was so relaxing, just like a well-mannered man. And his accent was good too, more like a Scottish man."Yes, help me by taking your wallet, which you have forgotten," said Bethany, extending her hand with his wallet. Sunny's hand also reached toward his pocket in a hurry, and yes, his pocket was empty.
"Thank you. I didn't realize," Sunny took his wallet and said. He wanted to talk a little more with her, but Bethany shook her head and turned.
"Bethany." he couldn't help himself from calling her."Yes," Bethany turned and replied. Her eyes noticed his flushed ears.
"Can I… have your number?" Sunny coughed to complete a single sentence, and the sentence wasn't smooth either. It was like a pair of pressured words.
But a mischievous idea came to Bethany's mind. Placing her hand on her hips, she sexually crisscrossed her legs and came very close to Sunny, where his breath hitched because of the proximity and a faint smell of Bethany's.
"Do you want to flirt with me? That's why you are asking for my number?" Bethany said, she changed her voice into luring.
Sunny got nervous and his voice stammered as he answered, "No… I.. Just. We should be friends."
"But we are not in the age of making friends and I'll love to do hokey pokey with you," Bethany shamelessly said without blinking or flushing. Where Sunny couldn't take it anymore, so he quickly excused himself by saying, "Okay, I think your answer is no. Bye."
Before Sunny could run from that place, Bethany hooked her finger on Sunny's belt and stopped him."It would be an insult to me if you run away from me without completing the task. Now I want your number, so here is my phone and type your number," Bethany happily dominated Sunny, which she found hilarious and interesting. Also, the look Sunny had was quite goofy and childish.
"Okay," Sunny quickly type his number on Bethany's phone and vanished from there, speeding the bike. Although earlier he lived near Isabella's house, now it has been a few months, and he has shifted to another street which was a little farther from here.
"Innocent man! what an interesting encounter?" Bethany murmured, looking at the distance where Sunny disappeared, then turned back to enter the house.
"Hmm…. mmm.. mmm," a small humming constantly resonated from Bethany's throat, as her steps became rhythmic and she entered Isabell's room.
Locking the door behind she veered around and saw two women looking at her mockingly while their eyes were laughing as their smirks were getting wider until they turned into a smile.
"What?" Bethany asked, standing at the door. She has a good hunch that what her two friends were going to say will not be something good.
"Nothing, you look different. And this is the first you asked someone's number on your own accord," Bethany commented, scrolling through the internet while Isabella smile sweetly at two of her friends. Just then, her phone vibrated as she got a notification.
Unlocking her phone, she dragged down the status bar when she saw a mail. Opening the mail she read and her brow wrinkled upon it, as she repeated the mail, "Where are you?"
But the sender's name was complicated. She tried to remember if she knew this address, but she couldn't recall. Therefore, she sent back a mail, "Hello! May I know your name?"
"King of Luther industry," the answer popped up. Isabella's finger quivered and her eyes raised a little to see if any of them would have noticed this thing, but they were busy doing nighttime care, which was good. More attention from them only brings trouble to her. Who knows if they saw this mail what kind of message they'll force her to send?
"Okay, send me the script," another mail sent from Isabella, a quick response from her, as well as she picked the reason fast for which this mail has come, though the first question wasn't expected. By the way, she forgot about this script and that devil, Alexander.
Again vibrated, another came, which was fast as if the person was waiting for her response.
"Answer my first question," the mail was roaring as Isabella felt.
'Also, why would she answer the first question? Does it need to be answered that Where is she?' Her thoughts were muddled, finding an explanation.
Still, she typed with a lot of questions in her mind, "Yes, I am at home."
Then she also thought maybe he wanted privacy because he didn't want others to see his company's script.
'It might be possible,' she shrugged her shoulder with this probability.
"Hey, Bella, what are you doing on the phone?" Bethany implored when she was busy scrolling through her phone.Danny laid down on the bed and her eyes looked at the roof without blinking because her mind was far from here, thinking about the past, which was a happy part of her life, as she had been believing until the truth dragged her out from the fantasy. One thing she could not kill was her feelings.
"Nothing. You tell me, are you texting Sunny?" Isabella's dimple smile deepened as she teased Bethany, who stopped her finger from scrolling and gave a side-eye to Isabella, then raised her middle finger and silently said, "Fuck you."
"Okay, bitches. I need to sleep. Move your ass from this side," Danny said, adjusting herself to a small place because the bed was tiny for three to sleep.
"In this bed, we can't accommodate our ass. Bella darling, why don't you want to buy a bigger bed," Bethany commented and laid in the middle, leaving the window side for Isabella.
"So that you two don't sleep here," Isabella answered.
In the middle of the conversation, an email had already taken its place in her email box. Isabella opened it and found a p*f with a large logo of Luther's industry on the cover of the p*f.Although he didn't open it, instead she sent another email. "Thanks. I understood. I will start working tomorrow. Good night."
She lay down on the side of the window, but her mind was on wondering whether she had received any mail, whether he had replied to her goodnight too.
Her hand couldn't control itself, as she unlocked the phone and immediately entered the mailbox, but to her dismay, there was no mail from that certain address.
"Turn off the lights," murmured Bethany as she slept beside Isabella and the glare of Bella's phone bothered her eyes.
"Yes, good night," said Isabella and closed her eyes.
At midnight, a black, muscular silhouette appeared in Isabella's room. Although the windows and doors were tightly closed, the figure still reached Isabella's room. The eyes of that silhouette turned bright red in the pitch dark room and it looked like the eyes of a devil.The figure slowly approached Isabella. Her white jade face was visible in the dark pitch room. Two more breaths were heard, but the devil was not interested, his whole body and eyes only on Isabella.
He knew he loathed humans, but this girl's invitation was fucking tempting. A human could lure a devil was impossible, but the way the devil was drawn toward Isabella could make someone think twice.
"My prey," the devil's voice growled and his nail was about to touch his prey's cheeks when the devil's nose smelled an inhuman smell, and he was well aware of it. His eyes fell on the same dress Isabella has wore in the morning which was on the table near the bed. His hand reached to the dress and brought it near his nose and at that time his horn emerged on his head while his hand burned that place of the dress where he touched it.
Then suddenly Bela opened her eyes and saw a shadowy figure near her but when her eyes met with the red one she screamed out of her lungs."Aaa…..!" Isabella screamed and Danny turned on the lights while Bethany hugged Isabella tightly, who was crying loudly with closing eyes.
"Sh!… It's okay. It's a bad dream," Bethany whispered while patting Bella's back to calm her down.
"No-no, there is someone behind me," Isabella said while pointing with her fingers, but didn't look back. Her face was on Bethany's neck and her mouth still repeating the same line.
"Look, Bella, there is no one," Danny said, her voice was heard behind Isabella, as she came behind her to check if any thief was hiding.
As Elsa turned back, she saw only Danny standing and her eyes quickly turned to the window and door to check whether they were open by chance."But I clearly saw someone with red eyes," Elsa tried to explain to her friends again, suddenly seeing something unnatural, her whole body still trembling from the impact.
"Bella, darling. When your eyes were full of sleep, and you suddenly open them, sometimes they see something unusual that happens to everyone," Danny said in a low voice as her voice was also covered in sleep.
"Well, if you're not comfortable on this site, you can sleep between us," Bethany suggested and Isabella nodded at her words, as she can't sleep on the same side anymore.What they didn't notice was the pink dress or maybe they might have realized that Isabella was telling truth.
★★★ 15 days later; Sunday; The happiest song had been sung by birds as the morning had emerged with a fresh zest for life. In preparation for the day, the flower garden had blossomed. Winter began, so it was a little cold but the day was beautiful. A small, lovely woman moved her body on a large queen bed while groans escaped her mouth. She gradually opened her eyes. She noticed the white roof as her blurry vision began to fade. Her gaze was drawn to the light coming in through the bay window. She raised her hand and touched her face in bafflement. She mumbled, “Am I alive?” “How can I let you die?” Alexander's sudden voice jolted Bella's heart from her ribcage. She looked at the door and saw him standing there with a glass of water. “Alex,” she choked her words. Alexander smiled with his teeth open and went up to the bed. His purple eyes gave Bella the same old feeling. She got emotional and happy. Even though she wanted to ask if he was real, Bella could not able to utter any
★★★Alexander was told to retreat by the demons watching over the village. They bowed their heads to the king but were powerless to defy Bael's command."I'd prefer not to kill my army. Thus, move aside. If you obey my commands, you can rest assured that no force will use its might against you," Alexander growled.“My king, forgive our boldness. We have no choice but to oppose you."One of the demons spoke up and flew towards Alexander, who was in his devil form with the crown on his head.Alexander grabbed the demon's head and pulled it apart from his body. The blood splattered on Alex, but he had issued a strong warning.“All of you are my army, so it will be unfortunate if no one survives,” Alexander said as he advanced.Due to their collective strength, the demons all decided to attack the king at once after first weakening him.One of them used wind power stronger than a storm, causing the tree around Alexander to uproot from the soil. Despite its immense power, it was in
★★★Bella wiped her tears from her cheeks and said, "Your doom is near, Lilith.” When she was ready to stand up, she gently placed Noah's head on the ground.“You will get the worst end.” Bella's determined gaze longed to knife Lilith to death for killing Noah. However, Lilith's following sentence quenched Bella's rage.Lilith threw her arms in the air and said, "I hope you wish a good end for your father and dear friends." Bella followed her hand by turning around, and as she did, she caught a glimpse of her father and her friends, who were being detained by the Blackhound villagers.When Bella saw her father and friends lying motionless and blue, her very soul crumbled to dust.She advanced towards them on her unsteady feet."What did you do to him?" Bella screamed as she cupped her father's face.Lilith's giggle set Bella's blood on fire. She spoke with the great threat, turning around to face Lilith, "If a slight harm comes to them, I will bend hell to make you suffer, and
★★★"You're a complete moron. After everything I've done to save you and offer you the opportunity to live, you are determined to betray me," Casey demanded loudly, baring her razor-sharp fangs.She was upset because Noah had lied to her. He extended his hand and convinced her that he was willing to walk with her, but only to deceive her. He had already devised a strategy to save Bella in the back of his mind.Noah sprang up, his eyes blazed. His one hand gently pushed Bella behind him because she meant the world to him. He didn't get a chance to save her from his father, but nothing could stop him from taking Bella from this place right now.“Let her go, Casey. She is our friend,” Noah said, trying to make Casey calm. He would be at ease if Casey became ready to help them then it would be easier to escape. He had to manipulate her.“Yes, our wonderful buddy who is more poisonous than a snake," Casey grumbled, her jaws clenched. Black veins began to appear on her pale skin. As so
★★Although Alexander had additional plans for Bella, her constant worry for her father put an end to everything. He grudgingly complied with her request. Additionally, he would learn what precipitated Bella's abrupt transformation.Alexander wanted to enter Bella's home when they arrived there, but Bella refused, saying that her father would not appreciate it if he found out she had been living with him.Alexander's veins on his forehead went stiff when he realized Bella was being bothered by a dreadful thing that placed her on alert as well as compelled her to cover her mouth. He was helpless to act.He sat in his car for a while, his hands tightly gripping the wheel. Alexander closed his eyes in an attempt to spy on Bella, in particular, to know why she made an excuse to push him away. But his power was immediately returned to him. Although he was conscious that his abilities had been diminished, this was his forte. Why would it misfire on him? Alexander ruminated.“Unless som
★★★In the dream, Bella felt something constrict her breathing by choking her neck. She was unable to draw even a single breath. Immediately, a familiar voice suddenly took her off guard.“Bella, help me.”“Dad, Dad!!” Bella saw her father in blood. He could hardly open his eyes, since his lips were bleeding. Bella’s core trembled fiercely.“Dad,”Bella tried to reach him but was unable to do so. Something kept her feet firmly planted.Suddenly, Lilith appeared out of nowhere to welcome Bella, who came out of the shadows with a threatening smile and blood on the corner of her lips.“What did you do to my father? What he has done to you?” Bella screamed, forcing her feet to move but not to avail.“As of right now, he is OK. Regarding your father’s future, I am unable to make any promises,” Lilith said with a smile on her lips, “Perhaps I’ll shorten his life. She grabbed Bella’s father by the neck and hauled him to his feet while her eyes shone crimson.“Please stop,” Bella yel
