Lily completed the work in the office and was packing her things up when Bella came there. “I am seeing your mood is off since the morning.” Lily gave a tiny smile to Bella. “By the way, did you talk with the guy who is your friend?” Bella asked Lily.
“No, I forgot. He isn’t in the city so, I don’t think that I will be able to talk with him out,” Lily proclaimed. Bella gave a nod and then told Lily if she would like to go for drinks with her.
“I don’t drink but I can company you,” Lily stated. Bella gave a nod. “John is also accompanying us. Let’s go then,” Bella told Lily.
“Let me tell at home first. Mom- dad will wonder where did I go to,” muttered Lily and picked the phone from the desk. She dropped a message to her father and then put the phone in her pocket. Carrying the satchel, she told Bella that they should leave then.
Lily was driving the car. Bella was in the passenger seat while John was at the backseat. “Why do you not drink, Lily?” Bella asked c
Marcus was now in the bar in his invisible form. Katie was sitting on the lounge beside Bella and John, her hands were folded. Marcus came to her and asked if she had done the work. Katie agreed. “These two aren’t the issue, the issue is Lily who will be confused by tomorrow,” stated Katie and looked at the ghost who was looking at her.Marcus too looked in the same direction as Lily and found the ghost there who earlier talked with Lily. Katie went to her and asked, “Why did you approach her?”“Because she can see me. I thought she would help me and free my soul from this world,” replied the woman ghost. Katie and Marcus looked at each other.“I will inform the Department of afterlife. They will send someone to take you there,” Katie told the ghost who lowered her eyes. “Someone killed me here. Can’t you find that person and punish him for me?” the ghost requested Katie. Marcus went near her.“We are not allowed to do such things neither we can do anything i
Lily woke up the next morning when she recalled how she saw the ghost there in the washroom. Shiver ran through her spine as she sat up on the bed, thinking about that. She ran her fingers through her hair. “How did I come here?” Lily muttered.She got down the bed and went to the washroom. After freshening up and showering, she got ready for the office and went downstairs. Her father who was reading the newspaper stood up from the couch and went to her.“How are you doing?” Daniel asked Lily.“Good morning, dad. I am good. Dad, how did I reach here?” Lily asked confusedly.“Marcus Scott brought you here. He came a while ago asking if you are awake or not. He told me that you were scared by a cosplayer who was playing the role of a ghost. The cosplayer thought to prank on you and called herself as ghost. You were drunk and got scared of her,” Daniel told Lily.Lily blinked her eyes and laughed. &ldquo
In the evening when Lily left the office, she found Lucian there, waiting for her outside his car. Seeing Lily, Lucian took off the goggles he was wearing and walked to her. Lily too came towards him. Halting a few centimeters away from each other, Lily asked him why he was there.“To pick you up,” asserted Lucian. Lily gave a nod and went to the car. As Lily was wearing the seat belt, Lucian said, “Lily, there is something you must know and for that you have to go with me to some other city.”Lily turned her head and looked at Lucian. “Where?!” Lily asked with an astonishment.“That I cannot tell you now. Let’s go to my house first and then I will tell you,” Lucian asserted and drove the car to his home. Lily was confused thinking what it could be about. Reaching Lucian’s house, Lucian told Lily to make herself comfortable.She sat on the sofa chair while Lucian sat on the other. “Lily, just listen to me and after I will be over you can ask question,”
In the late night Lily, Marcus and Lucian reached the city of Velrenia. Everything there was like Humans but the only difference was the City was of Devils. Lily was scared too because she heard about Devils in the other way. Soon the car, left the main streets of Velrenia and entered the isolated hilly road.After a while, the car halted at the entrance of Palace of Velrenia. Lily looked at the Palace and could not see its end. “Miss Evan, we are here. Please step out of the car,” told Marcus softly. Lily gave a nod and stepped down the car.She looked up to see how huge a Palace could be but it seemed the half of the Palace was covered in clouds up in the sky. “It is an illusion,” Lucian who came beside Lily told her. Lily looked at Lucian with an inquisitiveness.“For humans it is an illusion. I would like to tell you that because you can see us all so, you are able to see everything in Velrenia but for other humans these all thi
Lily laid down on the mattress and stretched her arms out. “So, 6 years ago when he saved me I was right. He had those superpowers but he lied to me as they are not allowed to speak their secret to anyone. Every time I was in trouble, he came to rescue me,” Lily murmured and sat up on the bed.She thought to freshen up and quickly got down the bed. She went to the washroom and her eyes were glistened by just seeing the sight in front of her. There was a bathtub in the middle while at the end there was a shower room. “Is not this like a Royal suite which I see in the Television only?” muttered Lily and stepped forward.On the left side, there was a frame less mirror attracted to the wall while a washbasin counter could be seen there. On the right side, there were cabinets were made. Lily went there and opened the cabinets. She saw white colored towels in one of the cabinets while in the other there were bathroom utilities.&nbs
Lily averted her gaze from Mark after saying those words. An awkward silence occurred between the two. Mark was looking at Lily while Lily had lowered her eyes. “Are you not going to ask anymore questions?” Mark asked thus breaking the ice.“I am asking,” Lily asserted. “I daily used to go there at that place thinking I might see you but I never until that day. So, for 6 years you were in Velrenia?” Lily questioned him.“No, I was in the Netherlands for a work,” Mark replied. Lily gave a nod.Lily scratched her forehead. “I am not able to ask anymore questions. My brain has many questions but I am forgetting them,” Lily proclaimed. Mark smiled.“It is fine. You can ask anytime. You must be tired. Go to the bed,” Mark told Lily.“You shall leave as well,” Lily looked at Mark saying this but he refused. “I might stay here as you are in Velrenia. I ca
The untidied hair of Lily were all over her face while her both palms were on her cheeks. “How could it be a dream?” Lily muttered and hit her legs against the mattress. The maid who was standing beside the bed was confused seeing Lily’s reactions.“Milady, is everything alright? You are in the same position for ten minutes,” the maid stated.Lily turned her head to look at her. “Why on earth is this a dream? It felt so real. But when did I fell asleep? I am unable to remember anything,” Lily muttered.The maid could not understand a word of Lily. “Milady, please get ready. You have to meet the King,” the maid asserted.Lily was shocked to hear that. “K-king? Do you guys have a King here? Why he wants to meet me?” Lily questioned the maid.“Milady, I do not know. I was informed to wake you up and help you in getting ready for the assembly house,” the maid replied. Her eyes were lowered out of respect. Lily got down the bed
Once Lily was taken away from the Assembly House, Mark turned to King Oliver. “There is no need to sign this pact. I will take the punishment for breaking the rule. You don’t need to force her for this.” Mark looked at Evander who was not pleased by this at all.“Your majesty, signing the pact is the most reliable thing from the two side. If anyone of them breaks the pact then its immediate affect will be seen and that would be much more better than assurance to not break the rules,” Evander put forwarded his point.“A Devil if makes a wrong promise then he is burnt alive in Hell. I will not let you down, your majesty. I promise that Miss Evan will not tell anyone about our existence. Just don’t force her to sign the pact. I also request you to increase the severity of my punishment,” Mark told King Oliver with an affirmed tone.Lucian was smiling seeing all this. “It seems you also love Miss Evan,” Lucian intervened as he stood up the chair.Evander looked a
