At lost of words, were the expression written on Belle’s face that Leon would like to describe. He smiled sweetly and it appeared only her could see his true evil smile, making him enjoying the time even more.
“He looked posh, doesn’t he?” Damian spoke up. “Mother and I was a little worried as he seemed to be too young for the job. But after listening to his adventurous experience, we decided to hire him. What do you say, Belle?”
Could she ask to fire him immediately?
Leon’s eyes narrowed as he watched her as though knowing what ran across her mind. She coughed, clearing her throat and smiled, “Yes, I think he does fit the description for the work. I hope you can be welcomed here, Mr. Wickedhem.”
“There is no need for the formality, milady. You can call me as Leon,” said the demon smoothly, too smoothly to come across as
Warnings: attempt suicide, please do not proceed if you are uncomfortable. (I made this scene as short as I could.)*****Belle was taken to his arm in a swoop. The black butterflies she had seen before when he disappeared to the thin air appeared again. This time, it surrounded both of them. The scenery around her was covered in darkness but all she could focus on was how close her face pressed onto Leon’s chest.She could feel a faint sound of heartbeat which belong to herself. Her heart was loud enough to pound for her to listen yet to the chest where her ears were closely pressed on, Belle couldn’t hear a single peep from it. As though his heart had never beat.When the butterflies scattered away, Belle realized the place in which she had stood at had disappeared, changing i
Quote: "I believe everyone has a hidden intention. You and me, him and her, aren't we all hiding a deep secret for our own goals?" ________ A physician was called to attend Dante. Belle stood outside the room beside Leon and looked at him for a good one minute, “I know my appearance is blinding but you wouldn’t get anything by staring at me.” Belle frowned. Where did this demon study his confidence? “You purposely move slowly and avoiding to help Dante as soon as possible. Do you want to break this contract one sidedly?” Her words come out strict when in truth her fingers were trembling behind her back. Leon’s eyes that reflected no light brightened when he grinned. “I didn’t hear you ask me to hurry myself. Do not be strict milady and please forgive me?” It was foolish for Belle to ever think the contract she made would ever be fair for her. The demon was enjoy
With her eyes taking the time to adjust after the shock of his words, Belle looked at him confused. “Demon’s wrath?”“Do you know what caused that man to try and kill himself?”“It wasn’t by his own action,” she assumed looking at his face. “Is it?” Her hesitation appeared.“It wasn’t. I felt something lurking, something annoying that was in the room once you saved him. Do you know how curses work, little one?” Leon questioned her with a grin. The grin told Belle it wasn’t something up to good.“By cursing others?” Belle saw Leon wistfully nodding his head. He was having fun with this. “Was Mr. Dante cursed?”“Yes, and the fun part is, curses can also be transferred to ot
When Belle woke up the next day, she was quickly greeted with the sight of Leon standing in front of her room. Her brows creased into an immediate frown. She tried to ignore his existence but except for the nighttime, Leon would constantly be beside her.Such a waste of a handsome face, thought Belle angrily.Stepping outside her room, she heard the faint chuckle slipping from his lips. Her eyes sharply stared at him timidly.“What is it?” She questioned.“I was wondering if you decide to spend the rest of your life inside that room.” Leon licked his lower lips, his grin widening, “I would have eaten you before that happen, however.”Belle gulped when she noticed his jester tone had dropped.&
Belle wasn’t easily affected. But Leon’s words were too effective for her not to keep thinking about his words. Someone close to Rachel had cursed her and cursed Dante? She could only imagine it would be the work of someone who truly detested the relationship between her sister and her fiancé.But who would that be?Her sister was a kind and angelic soul. She would help others around her and never once kept her smile down. Even once when a person had publicly ashamed her name, she forgave the person wholeheartedly, never once reminding the person of their guilt.Sometimes she was even too kind for Belle but that was also a point Belle throughly admired. Someone that kind, who would hate them? She would say no one but she wasn’t naive. She knew one could be hated to their core even when they had done
Hearing the word demon, Belle froze. He looked back to see Leon. His wide smile told her the bad situation that were to happen to them.“Here is the inn,” the man stopped by a large house that were quite silent. As most people avoided the land, the place appeared to be dreary and the inn was no different.Although the inn itself looked like a castle, the surrounding made it appeared less luxurious than it sounded.“Thank you,” Belle expressed. The man was about to leave when she raised her voice, “If it is alright, can I ask one thing?”“Sure go on, miss,” the man offered.“If you have seen some people worshipping that place, have you ever seen a tall blonde girl with bright blue eyes ever visiting the place? Maybe occasionally,” Belle added. It seemed to her that Rachel h
Belle saw the way his finger moved over her neck. She thought Leon was about to touch her nerves, sending her shivers but the warmth of his breaths against her ears sent her heart to palpitate faster than the racing horses. She couldn’t describe the reason why or why her heart had became noisier than Leon’s voice.But she was once again warned of how potent Leon was to her. This demon, he could seduce her make her feeling all kind of emotions and at the same time scare her with his flippant attitude where one change on his emotions— if she let his interest on her disappear— he would have no hesitation to devour her down to her bone.The thought made Belle bite her lower lips. Leon, on the other hand, watched her like how a predator learning its prey’s reaction. His grin widening.“Move,&rd
Belle’s finger frantically try to hold on the strongest person she could reached out, Leon being her only option. She saw how all around her the view turned black. They had entered a dark space deep under the ground that she never thought would have caved in.Leon looked around the place, seeing the ground that was far bellow them it would have normally killed the humans who fell from such heights but unfortunately for the demons who wanted to kill him, it wasn’t the height enough to finish him off.Like a cat, he nimbly jumped down to the ground, sweeping Belle on his hands, covering her and picking her to his firm arms without a single shake.Belle continued to bury herself on his chest, feeling her heart exploding in fear.“I do think I have the most comfortable chest in the land and
