Possessed By Death Chapter 54
Something strange happened on the evening of their seventh anniversary together.The two of them decided to celebrate their seventh year together at their favorite casual dining restaurant. Leo had introduced Nocturne to it on their fifth date. Their preferred table was outside looking over the harbor.During the wait between their main course and the dessert, Nocturne briefly left him alone at the table to order more drinks at the counter. Leo occupied himself by taking a photo of the candles on the table so he could post about their anniversary on his personal social media account. He was in the process of writing the caption when someone sat down opposite him.The smile on his face died when he saw it wasn’t Nocturne returning from the counter. It was a man he didn’t know.The man was attractive in a similar way only his hair was long and black and his skin was unearthly pale.“That seat is taken by my boyfriend,” Leo told him.He didn’t entirely know why this man had chosen to tak

He was ready to find this man and give him a piece of his mind. Leo moved towards the door. Angela cleared her throat and he stopped. Maybe he had reacted too fast.“You don’t have to go and punch him. Nocturne spent a lot of time working on a report for HR to get him removed for harassment. He submitted it this morning. There’s so many witnesses to everything, it should be an easy case for HR,” Angela informed him. “Levi is being questioned in the HR office right now."Leo realized that he had been naive to think that Nocturne wouldn’t use official channels to do something about someone harassing him. His boyfriend was thorough like that.It made sense that Nocturne had told him not to worry about him and that things would be sorted soon with the ‘difficult client’.He sat back down at the table. It appeared he didn’t have to go and defend his boyfriend from Levi. Nocturne had already done everything necessary.“I would still go and say something to him on a personal level,” Angela s

After three years together, they moved into their own house together and had their first serious argument over which room should be the master bedroom.“I’m telling you, it should be the first room upstairs. It gets the best light,” Leo said with gritted teeth. “Why did you tell the movers to put our bed in the second bedroom from the stairs?”“It’s going to be too bright in the morning. I hate being woken up early because of the sun coming through the curtains,” Nocturne retorted. “I thought you liked it when I was in a good mood in the morning.”“I think everyone likes it when their boyfriend is in a good mood,” the blond hit back. “That’s a ridiculous argument. Personally I like seeing the sun in the morning.”“Not when it’s blinding you in the eyes.”They looked at each other. Leo could tell that Nocturne wasn’t going to back down from his decision. It was annoying. They still had so many things to unpack and he did want to eat dinner sitting at the table and not standing up again

Leo woke up slowly to the smell of pancakes. He became aware that his ass was throbbing and the events of the night came back to him.He was now Nocturne’s boyfriend and lover.His eyes snapped open as he processed that there was no one in the bed with him. His heart sank as he looked at the empty space next to him. Nocturne must have changed his mind about him.Then he registered the smell in the air with a fully awake mind. Nocturne was still around.He got out of bed and walked slowly to the kitchen after pulling on a fresh pair of underwear. As he had hoped, Nocturne was standing in his kitchen opening cupboards.The CEO beamed at the sight of him.“Leo! I was planning to make you breakfast in bed,” he announced. “I just don’t know where everything is in your place.”Leo’s heart warmed and he stepped forward to help him. Nocturne had done well to find enough to start making pancakes.Soon they were sitting at the table by the window with two stacks of pancakes. It turned out that

Nocturne made his order at the counter. The order was for several people which explained why the CEO hadn’t simply left the coffee shop at the sight of him. Leo collected his order and remained in the order pick up area. He waited until Nocturne had been sent off to wait in the same area.“I want to talk to you,” Leo said without any formality.“Sorry, I’m busy,” the CEO said. The tone was polite but final.“You’re waiting for a six drink order, you’ve got time,” Leo pointed out. “Stop avoiding me.”The older man looked at him and then promptly broke eye contact.“You’ve got as long as it takes them to make my order,” he said with an air of reluctance.Leo ignored his tone. It was finally time to confront the issues he had with Nocturne head on. He had no idea this was something he had done nine times before in different lives.“I would like to know how we went from being friendly to you ignoring me,” he said without mincing his words. “One moment, you were into me and now you act li

The tender look turned hard and Nocturne looked away.“I decided that I would come back to this country after finishing my degree and set up my own publishing company. It became quite an obsession. My boyfriend at the time dumped me over it,” he admitted. “I’m still very single minded about making this company a success. I obtained some good investment using my family connections and I need to provide results.”“I take it you are single then,” Leo said.“That’s right,” the older man confirmed. “My mind is filled with books, business and occasionally games. Did you try that game I recommended?”It was an obvious attempt to change the subject. Leo accepted it and responded to the question. He was learning a lot about Nocturne through these short meetings.Leo continued going to the coffee shop to write even when the construction work on the building next to his apartment block had ended. It would be more convenient to work at home, but Nocturne wouldn’t come to visit him if he wasn’t at

Leo was feeling flattered, but under pressure from the close attention from Nocturne. He was the CEO after all. Nocturne pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.“Angela, what do you think so far?” the CEO asked.“I’m five pages in,” she retorted. “How fast do you think I can read? It’s been two minutes since I started.”“I’ve seen you throw out manuscripts after one page,” Nocturne pointed out. “You’re relentless when you go through the slush pile.”“You have to be when going through that mountain,” she said without taking her gaze off his manuscript.Nocturne turned his attention to him. “Leo, do you know what a slush pile is?”Leo was quick to show that he knew information about traditional book publishing.“It’s mostly submissions from authors who don’t have a literary agent and send their work directly to a publisher."“You’re knowledgeable,” Nocturne commented.Leo gave him a brief run down of his degree and limited writing experience. It was nice to have something to focu

Once Leo recovered a little from the embarrassment, he felt annoyed with the man.“Why did you even look in the first place?” he asked.He placed his iced coffee on the table with a thump and glared. The man simply laughed.“I work for a publishing company so I check out anything that looks like a book. Everyone knows that people who write in coffee shops are future bestselling authors,” he replied with a wry smile. “I will give you my business card so you will believe me.”The man put a hand into his suit jacket and produced a business card. Leo took it and read the name. The man was Nocturne Smythe, CEO of Smythe Publishing. His defensiveness dropped rapidly.“I see,” he said. “There is lots of construction work going on where I live so it’s been impossible to write at home. I swear this place is normally quiet and I sit in the corner so nobody can see my screen even if I leave my document open.”“Of course,” Nocturne said. “I did like what I saw. If you’re wondering why this place

Leo felt a small stab of nerves as the bright background of the silent market faded and he was somewhere else. He was in a large room with a throne in the center and a marble floor.One side was lined with windows that looked out into a black inky darkness. There were two figures standing by the window. He was able to recognize both of them. They were Celeste and the ruler of hell.It all added up to mean he was finally in the underworld. This area had to be the throne room that Nocturne normally occupied when he wasn’t collecting souls.Nocturne gestured at the throne. “I wasn’t expecting to be brought here. This is my throne room. Downstairs is the judgement hall and you know the two people over there.”Celeste waved happily at him. “Leo!”She rushed over and put her arms around him. Leo awkwardly patted her back with one hand. He had no idea what to do. The archangel was quick to release him.“Sorry, I’m just so pleased that everything worked out and Nocturne was able to get your s

Chapter 1
“Do you ever let any human escape death?”The ruler of the underworld looked over at the person who had asked the question with a disdainful look and scoffed at him. It was a ridiculous question to ask.“I would never do something like that. The rules are simple, if their name is on the list, I take their soul to the underworld to be judged. There is nothing else to it.”Today was a quiet day in the underworld. For once he had enough spare time to sit by the windows in his throne room and drink some tea. The endless night view wasn’t much to look at, but it was all his. It was a shame the ruler of hell had come to visit him.“Nocturne, some of your predecessors broke the rules and allowed humans to keep their lives,” the ruler of hell pointed out. “None of us are heartless despite our origins.”The ruler of the underworld changed over time. There was a mandatory 50 year minimum time period and then the ruler could choose to continue or put their souls up for reincarnation so they coul...
