Pearldina and Klata walked into Lord Adonis chambers.Pearldina walked to the gigantic bed, took the sheet off the bed and inhaled it smell."Mistress, what are you doing?" Kalta asked perplexed at Pearldina's strange behavior."This is what Lord Adonis smell like, it's been a while since I last inhaled his smell. I should inhale it some more.""I don't understand what you're saying mistress but I know we should be breaking through the basement right now.""His smell is addictive and intoxicating but nevermind, I have plenty of time to get drunk in his smell." Pearldina continued ignoring Klata's words."Why are bothered about how Lord Adonis smelled? Ain't you in love with master Acris?" Kalta whose patience seems to be running thin raised his voice a little."Did I just hear you scream at me?" Pearldina eyes turned crimson red. Ain't no way she was going to let herself be humiliated by a minor death agent."I dare not." Kalta bowed his head in remorse realizing his mistake."Just so
Audrey walked in the rain with Lord Adonis umbrella hovering over her head and her protruding stomach looking beautiful and elegant.The umbrella who had shielded her from her darkest night was now protecting her and her unborn child. A gift bore out of the love that exist between her and Lord Adonis.She wouldn't exchange this precious gift for anything in the world. When Lord Adonis left, she had thought she would be alone again.She had returned to the human world with the bag filled with gold but despite having such wealth at her disposal, it couldn't fill the void left by Lord Adonis. She locked herself up mourning his passing day and night and having very little to eat.Weeks after she returned to the human world, she began to feel nauseous, she knew something had changed in her body and her breast had become fuller than they were but was too sad to make any out of her body changes. But the nauseousness won't stop coupled with morning sickness, she decided it was time for her t
"Who... Who are you? How did you get in?" The aged man asked. He was bed ridden, his eyes were heavy voice was weak and his hands were shaking, trembling even as he shivered from what seemed like a bad cold. "I came in through the air" The other man responded, his voice filled with the manliness that his appearance alone could show. He was dressed in a three piece black suit and his eyes were of a special color, they were not black, not brown, not blue and not green, it was red and that was the natural color of his eyeballs."Through the air?" The old man's voice croaked."Yes and through the air will I take you away""Who are you?" The old man shivered with fear as the other man approached him."I am Adonis" "Get out of my home, young man!" He tried to sound firm."Young man?""I have been alive since the beginning of the earth" he stretched his hands out and grabbed the trembling hands of the old man.His hands were cold, bloody cold."Wh... Who or what are you?""Are you life?"
Audrey dialed the contact yet again and waited with her anxious heart, for him to pick the call but there was still no response.""Oh no!"" Beads of sweats formed on her forehead."Desmond, please pick up" she begged as if he could hear her as she redialed the contact that she had saved with 'my heartbeat' with an heart emoji to it.She had been calling him the entire day but he was not picking up her calls still. She had sent several messages to him but he was not responding to her messages either. "He... He probably got into some trouble. He would be back soon" Audrey tried to tell herself but she knew that was most probably a lie to comfort her aching heart.Desmond was her first boyfriend, he was her first love and they had been dating for two years. Desmond was not so well to do and she was the same. They both had average lives except for the fact that her average was better than his average.For the past six months, Audrey had heard different advise from her friends, telling he
Audrey's eyes opened slowly. She looked around her and figured that she was lying on a bench. She slowly got up and sat up on the bench.She took her hands into her wet hair and wondered how she had left the middle of the alley to sleeping on the bench. She knew someone must have helped her but she was not so grateful for that person's help.Now that she was alive and awake, what was she supposed to do next?She looked to her side and found her phone and her bag. It was a complete surprise that it had not been stolen by some of the boys living around the alley yet.She picked up her phone and turned it on. She raked her hair backwards, realizing that her phone was having some issues from having stayed in the rain for so long.She groaned and after a couple attempts. She was able to unlock the phone and she had a message, it was from Desmond.Her heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly opened the message. Her phone malfunctioned for about a minute before she was finally able to successfu
Audrey's life flashed in her face, old memories playing in her head as the waters began to quickly flood her nose."Granny!!!" Audrey called out as she ran into her grandmother's arm.Jumping into her grandmother's arm everyday she came back from work had been nice therapy for Audrey."My beautiful sunshine" replied Henrietta, her granny. Henrietta would never get enough of her grand daughter. Henrietta and Audrey would get locked in a tight hug."Did you miss me granny?" Audrey would ask, giving a her a childlike look.Henrietta would never be able to hold back, seeing that look, she would always burst into laughter."I missed you so much, child" she would admit while painting Audrey's face with kisses.A tear slid out of Audrey's eyes into the waters as her heart squeezed in pains.Audrey felt the natural instincts to struggle but she did not as another memory came replaying in her head."I love you so much Audrey" it was a memory of Desmond, the one who had caused all of these pain
Lord Adonis stared at the umbrella he had earlier taken from the bridge and he remembered the girl he has saved two consecutive times in just one day. She desperately was seeking to end her own life while he was consistently saving her against his wish. What an irony!Lord Adonis took the umbrella and hid it in his safe.***The sun was rising and the sounds of birds chirping could be heard from a distance.Audrey tried to open her eyes but had to shut it immediately as she felt her head banging. 'Where am I? Am I dead? Is it over now?' She asked herself multiple questions at a time.Audrey tried to open her eyes again but this time very slowly. She was welcomed by the sight and noise of water. The events of the previous day came replaying slowly in her mind.Who was the man that had come to her rescue?His eyes were crimson red and his body was so cold.Again, she saw someone else or was it a mermaid? Or was it just her imagination?She was jolted out of her blurry memory by an awake
Audrey stood over the grave of her grandmother all by herself wondering what went wrong. She was more than devastated that the blazing hope she was clinging to had bursted right on her face.Audrey was hurting deeply but had ran out of tears to express how she was feeling. She wondered what she was going to do with her life henceforth. No family, no lover, no friend. Her world was indeed lonely and dark.A man stood few meters away from Audrey. It is time for her to fulfill her part of the bargain. He knew how tenacious Lord Adonis was and Audrey might never make it back alive once she started working for him so he allowed her a moment to grieve her family. After a while that seemed like forever Audrey slowly turned around to go back to empty house when she noticed the presence of someone."Maybe he is here to pay respect to his loved one too" she thought within herself. She could relate to his pain but she wasn't in any position to sympathize with anyone so she walked past him.
