As the elevator went up to the top floor, Zarif kept looking at Isabelle over his shoulders like he was planning to attack her or something. Her gaze was directed forward so she didn’t notice his red eyes on her.He put his hand out, facing it towards her bag and used his powers to take out the flash drive in the bag. “I have a job interview here today and I’m really excited.” He began saying to distract her from noticing what he was doing. “Oh, really?” she asked. “Yeah,” He replied. “Well, I hope you get the job.” She said with a smile. “Thank you so much,” Zarif replied as the flash drive floated into his hand. As soon as he grabbed it, the colour of the drive changed from purple to maroon and he used his powers to put it back into her handbag a second before the elevator bell dinged and the door slid open. They both came out and before going their separate ways, Isabelle turned to Zarif. “Good luck with your interview,” She told him. He only smiled, nodded and walked away
851 A.D Hannah sat in the fields in the evening picking berries and putting them in her basket. She was also deep in thought about the day she and Garin first arrived on earth. They’d been so lost and confused because they weren’t sure what to do next. They didn’t have their powers for the first time since their creation and they were in an unfamiliar place, out casted and afraid, alone in an alien world. They may have known what the Earth was like but they had no idea how to live in it without their powers but, eventually, they adapted and they learned. If it wasn’t for Garin, they probably wouldn’t have made it. He was strong and resourceful. He made friends with some of the men in the area where they found themselves and quickly learned how to work with tools. He and Hannah built their home from scratch, all by themselves and had lived peacefully ever since. It was, up until that point, a perfect life. Hannah slipped out of the memory and realized that the sun was starting to se
For the first week after getting the job as Josh’s assistant, Jennifer worked her hardest to impress him so she could have the job permanently. She was always aware of his schedule and never let anything slip by her as she was completely thorough and efficient.She wanted to impress him and seal the position and she was doing a pretty good job and was proving to be the best assistant Josh had ever had, maybe even better than her aunt.On a sunny Monday afternoon, Josh sat in his office looking over the designs for a new collection of wine bottles when Jennifer stepped in.“Mr Clinton?” She called him.“Yes, Jennifer,” He looked at her and answered.“There’s a woman outside who wants to see you but she doesn’t have an appointment.” She said.“Did she say who she was?” “Yes, Isabelle Gilmour.” “Isabelle? Why is she here?” Josh asked himself with a smile on his face.This was the first time she had visited him at work and he was wondering what the occasion was.“Should I send her in, si
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
