Chapter 13: She's just my employeeHansel is staring at his office's desktop computer. He gritted his teeth when he found out that Millicent is still alive. He tried to look for a way to kill her but he wasn't successful. All of his plans failed. He is furious and thought of torturing her instead. He wanted to bring her to a deserted place to kill her. He wants to experience the pleasure of watching her slowly dying while she screams for help.It was him.... the caller and the one who pushed her off the rooftop. He knew and saw that he pushed her which made her fall. But he immediately left the rooftop. There was no CCTV everywhere, he made sure of that. But that is his mistake. How did she survive? Did someone save her? She has no friends! The people in the company were making fun of her. Does she have any magic to do that? He can't believe what happened.As Hansel is looking at the screen, he suddenly sensed some movement on the door. He saw Millicent standing in front of his office
Chapter 14: Hansel's MomMillicent was working on her desk when suddenly, Hansel appeared beside her."Hello, Millicent!" he said cheerfully. "How are you today?"Millicent was startled and froze in her chair. "Ah! Hello!" she greeted him back awkwardly. She remembered what her officemates have said at their dinner. She can't believe that he's here again, talking to her like their positions are alike. She's trying to remind herself that Hnasel is her boss while she is just an ordinary employee in the company. It's so hard to communicate so openly with him because of the rumors that can spread out throughout the company."Are you okay?" he asked her worriedly.Millicent nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine.""You look pale."Millicent blushed and looked down. "Yes, I am a little tired.""So, what have you been up to? I haven't had the chance to talk to you lately."Millicent nervously smiled, "Work is busy.""Is it? Good, I'm glad to hear that." Hansel replied. He was trying to sound cheerful but M
The best way for Millicent Gunn to punish her officemates is to deal with a demon who just appeared in front of her. Her officemates were so cruel to her that she wanted them to die. She innocently accepted the deal in exchange for her life since she wanted to end her misery as well. But little did she know that the demon she has a contract with is a real cursed demon from above. He's Linus Castellanos, a rebel that committed a taboo sin and began to prey almost of the people he wanted to play with. He met her, they talked... and began to fall in love? How to break the deal now?**This is a work of fiction.

Chapter 1: A sin "The child they left behind is pitiful. Where will she be picked up now that she has no parents?" "I heard her aunts and uncles, her mother's sister, will take care of her." "Ah, it's better to be that way so that their daughter is still in good welfare." Millicent just stared blankly at the two old women who were talking. They were all sitting now in front of the two coffins. The coffins contain her father and mother. She had no other reaction because all of her emotions had been consumed since she was a child. She was born into the world feeling that she was unwanted. To be honest, her father and mother do not care about her. They always leave to enjoy themselves. They go on vacations every day while Millicent is left at home to take care of herself. They don't even leave food for her. So, when she became aware of the world, she learned to stand on her own feet without depending on her parents. Millicent just thought 'Should I be happy now that they are gone?'.
Chapter 2: RebellionLinus immediately woke up from his unconsciousness. He was surprised when he found something different. Nothing is white and it seems that he is not the old angel who would just look down to observe people's lives. He saw things that he saw people live with. He looked at his hands, and feet, and felt his own body. When he saw a mirror, he immediately looked into it and found himself in a different body."Who are you?" Linus asked in front of the mirror, asking his reflection of himself."Linus! You're awake!" His best friend Jacob immediately appeared by his side.But unlike him, he can see that Jacob is a soul with wings in his eyes. It's not like he used to look at Jacob's appearance as if it was normal for him."Who is this in this mirror? Why is he imitating my actions?" Linus asked as he pointed to the mirror.Jacob just showed a fake smile to his friend. "You are already a human, Linus. This is the punishment imposed on you by Lord Rasmus. Apparently, you ha
Chapter 3: No hope Linus didn't listen to Jacob. He continued to live in the human world, but contrary to what his friend wanted to happen because he did what he wanted. He killed ordinary people he could see, for no other reason, he just wanted to play. The demons were whispering to him what he should do and he just followed them. "He has no hope of returning to being an angel." said the angel officer Walt. The other angel officers who were with him nodded. They had watched what Linus does every day from above. They have seen also how demons hover around Linus and whisper to him. Those kinds of incidents were not new to them. Many of the angels could not bear to see the human they were guarding die. Their hearts are soft, and fragile, which makes them easy to pity. Some of the angels didn't follow through and succeed in their mission so they were punished like what happened to Linus. They also became disciples of the demons until they lost their lives. They are now suffering in c
Chapter 4: MillicentLinus looked at the lying men he had just killed. He got a cigarette and lit it then walked away as if nothing had happened. The news that there is an inexplicable creature is spreading all over the city. His doings can’t be seen on CCTV where he’s killing men and women like a malign. Many are screaming and afraid. Almost no one comes out every night because of that news. Linus is only seen by people if he himself has the intention of showing up and he can also make the people he meets lose their memories, so he will never be imprisoned or involved in any crime that the world of humans has.Linus hasn't seen any angels since he made a contract with the demon that approached him. Since then, his heart has been filled with anger, especially toward Lord Rasmus. He has also removed from his mind the angels he gave importance to including his best friend Jacob. He had no hope of reaching out to his friend, especially since he had already done such horrible things... an
Chapter 5: New CEO Linus was surprised by the sudden offer but he couldn't deny the excitement that he felt. He never had someone offer him their life before. It was a strange feeling of power and responsibility that he didn't know how to handle. But he knew that he couldn't turn down the job that Millicent had given him. "A good deal indeed, Millicent. I'll take revenge on your co-workers and make sure that they never bother you again." Linus said with a smile. Millicent nodded, a determined look on her face. For the first time, Linus saw something in her eyes that he hadn't seen before. It was a spark of hope and gratitude, a sign that maybe her life could turn around. Linus started to follow Millicent to her apartment, keeping a close eye on their surroundings
