About a week later, Josh and Isabelle had grown a lot closer and they spent a lot of their free time with each other. The love chain was edging closer to being fully restored between their souls which meant that God and the Devil needed to move fast with their plans to break the chain otherwise neither of them would be able to sever the bond....Jennifer sat in her seat with her elbow on her desk and her palm below her chin, staring longingly at her boss in his office through the transparent wall. Her other hand was twirling her hair into little curls as she imagined what it would be like to be with him. She was completely focused on him and was unconsciously biting her lips as she stared at him. She was in awe of him, of how dedicated he was to his business. He was the boss but he always showed up to work every single day. She was in awe of his hardworking nature, his grace and elegance, his kind eyes, and his handsome smile. She was crushing hard and couldn't help herself. Sh
851 AD“Hannah, there’s something I need to tell you,” Garin said to her at the dinner table a week after the incident with Zarif and Gentel.It had taken Hannah a few days to recover from her assault and she was up and about in next to no time. She didn’t seem angry or bitter about her assault. It was almost like she had forgotten all about it.Garin discerned that she was acting that way because just as he still had some attributes of a demon, she still had the heart of an angel. She was all smiles and never once spoke of finding the men and getting justice for what they’d done to her. She was still a pure-hearted angel and he was still a bloodthirsty demon.He decided that it would be better to tell Hannah the truth about what he had done to those men. He had thought about telling her about Gentel’s and Zarif’s involvement but he decided against it. What he did was all him and no one else and he had to take full responsibility for his actions. He didn’t care what his siblings thoug
The evening after Isabelle slapped Josh, he went over to her apartment to see her and work things out. He knocked on her door and called out to her to open up but she didn’t want to.“Isabelle, I know you’re in there. Please open up, we need to talk.” He called out.Isabelle was standing beside the door and didn’t want to let him in but she also couldn’t bring herself to send him away. He could see her shadow underneath the door and was desperate to speak to her.“Come on, Isabelle. You have to let me explain everything,” He begged.“There’s nothing to explain, Josh. I already know everything. You had no right to interfere with my job and…”“What are you talking about?” Josh interrupted her, “I didn’t interfere with your job in any way.” He claimed.“You spoke to my boss and made him give the project, didn’t you?” Isabelle asked.“I didn’t do anything of the sort. I haven’t even set foot in Clinton Corp in almost five years.” Josh told her.That statement from Josh confused Isabelle b
“How incompetent can the both of you be?” The Devil yelled at Zarif and Gentel. He was enraged because God was having more success than he was in breaking the love chain and winning the bet. He hated to admit it but God’s strategy of using love as his weapon was proving to be more effective than anything he was coming up with.“It’s not our fault, Father. It’s the stupid rules of this bet that’s making it difficult to get results,” Gentel claimed. “She’s right, Father. We would have broken them up by now if we didn’t have to play by God’s rules,” Zarif added. “These are all a bunch of useless excuses,” The Devil said angrily, causing the pit of hell to tremble due to his rage, “The rules say we cannot harm Garin or his angel but it doesn’t say that we can’t hurt the people they care about. Kill someone they love, cause them pain and make them suffer so the chain breaks.” The devil said. “It doesn’t matter how many of their friends and family we hurt or kill, Father. It will only b
“Do you think this is too much for meeting his family?” Isabelle asked Gwen.“Yeah girl, that dress is way too hot. You need to dial it down a little,” Her cousin replied with a chuckle.They were in Isabelle’s apartment going through her closet to find the perfect dress she would wear to Mrs Helena’s birthday party. She wanted to make a good impression on Josh’s family so she enlisted her cousin’s help.“Remember you’re not just going there as her son’s girlfriend, you’re also going there as her employee so you need to make twice the impression and that dress is very one-sided,” Gwen said.“You know what, you’re right. Let me put on something else,” Isabelle said and went back into the closet to try on a new dress. As Isabelle changed, Gwen felt a chill in the air and it felt like a window had been left open in the apartment so she got off the bed and went to the living room to inspect the strange wind she felt.She went into the living room and checked the windows only to find them
Sammy looked at Isabelle from head to toe with an intense look in his eyes. It almost felt like he was checking her out and judging from the way he was biting his lips, he really liked what he saw and didn’t even try to hide it.Isabelle held on tightly to Josh’s arm because his brother was making her very uncomfortable but at least he didn’t hate her like his sister obviously did. Isabelle had never felt this amount of pressure and awkwardness in her entire life before because this was both personal and professional for her and she didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes but still wanted to be treated with respect."What's wrong with Janet? She seems crankier than usual?" Josh asked his brother."You know how she gets whenever you come around. Mom and Dad focus all of their attention on you and everyone ignores her and well, you know the gist." Sammy said casually."So, what have you been up to Sammy? Let me guess. You bought a new car?" Josh said."I thought you said you didn't follow
"I made the documents an electronic format so I could get your signatures to give the green light for the shipment and sent it back immediately," Jennifer said."That's...pretty impressive, Jennifer," Josh said.She took out the tablet and scrolled through the pages she needed Josh to sign and after he did, she sent them back to the company and that was it."Well, it's sent so I guess I'd better get going," Jennifer said."You know what, why don't you stay and have some fun?" Josh asked."Really? I wouldn't want to intrude." Jennifer said."No, it's okay. You deserve a little break from how hard you work." He said and took a drink from a server's tray."Here you go," He said and gave the drink to her."Cheers, to a successful business deal!" Josh raised his glass and clinked it against hers....Meanwhile, Sammy and Isabelle were dancing together and she was surprisingly having a really good time. Sammy was a very graceful dancer and she had to admit that she was surprised by it."W
854 A.D..Three years after Garin's confession to Hannah about having killed those young men, things between them were back to normal.It took Hannah a while to understand what happened and understand that Garin still needed to work on being good and casting away his demonic instincts and she was ready and willing to help him through it. Her love for him was strong enough to accept his nature and she hoped it would be strong enough to change it as well.The couple were out in the river doing some chores and spending the beautiful day with each other and it indeed was a beautiful day with the way the sky was bright blue with puffy white clouds floating around.Hannah was inside the water doing some laundry while Garin was trying to catch some fish with his spear. She couldn't help but watch him splash around in the water trying to hunt their dinner and shockingly enough, he wasn't very good at fishing with a spear. Hannah was done with the laundry and all that was left was to dry t
