And it looked polished. There was a big, flat, black box in her sitting room.
I stormed out of her home without a word and noticed that there were similar homes in this building and I descended the stairs and looked around my surrounding.
There were tall buildings and some buildings made up of glasses and a woman was talking on a big flat screen that hung on that building.
Oh, God! What was this place?
I narrowed around my weird surrounding in bewilderment.
The temperature was cold unlike Lympia and I was dripping wet and shirtless was not helping me either. I think the needle the oracle used to poke me had something to do with my inability to use my powers here.
I spread my mighty wings and took off a flight. My wings were a part of my body; it was like an organ, so no one could control my wings. I was starving but I could hold on to my hunger it was not a big deal.
When there was a war between Lympia and Rinosa, I and my soldiers fo
Adeline's POV~He was moving from one foot to another and rubbing the back of his neck in awkwardness."Um… you're staring at me," he pointed out."Pardon?" I blinked once, twice and I came back to my reality. I was zoning out since I saw that news, maybe it was someone else with a similar physique as Arsenios'."You're staring. I asked you if you have anything to eat." He scrutinized his gaze at me like he was dealing with a toddler who couldn't understand his words."Sorry, I do have some leftover spaghetti from last night. I'll heat it for you." I told him and made my way to the kitchen. I took the spaghetti from the fridge and put it in the oven and set the timer."You look so dazed." He declared, "Is something bothering you?" he frowned."Nope!" I told him by popping the 'P'"Let's talk about you, who are you?" I asked him, cutting the chase for which he raised his eyebrows at me."I told you
Arsenio's pov~ Was that a paper? These people were so weird we use copper, silver, and gold to buy something but here they use paper. I carried all her bags as she was so jumpy. "Relax! You look so anxious" I tried to calm her. As we tried to make our way out of the building a voice stopped us. "Adeline! Is that you?" "Fuck!" she cursed under her breath. We both turned around to face the same guy as she pointed at the aisle as her ex-lover. "Yes, I am!" she turned around and stood straight in front of him. She tried to look confident but I could see that she was shivering. "What are you doing here?" he asked her while eyeing me like I was a threat. "Grocery shopping, duh!" she answered him with a sass, he clenched his jaw at her answer. "Who is this guy?" he grunted. "That's none of your business," she snapped and motioned me to walk with her, we tried to get away from him. The keyword was tried
"Now, stop being indolent and help me set the table," I ordered him playfully. "Yes, your majesty." He gave me a mock salute and followed me into the kitchen. We set the table on our terrace and had our lunch there. "Damn! It's good." He grunted with approval after taking a bite of the pizza. "I told you so," I chirped. He was savoring the pizza like anything. He was already on his fifth slice, I was nibbling at my third slice while gawking at him in disbelief. "What?" he raised his eyebrows at my inquisitive eyes. "Nothing," I remarked and looked away. It was a bit chilly but pleasant. The way the wind caresses my hair and cheeks gives me a serene feeling. A phone call broke me from my little bubble. I checked the caller's id to see my senior journalist's number flashing. I took the call and cleared my throat. "Mr. Graham," "Ms. Sandros, there is a rumor about Jedrick, he is here for a month for his upcoming pr
Adeline's Pov~ I didn't know how I arrived home. I didn't remember when I had my dinner with Arsenio. The entire evening was a blur. "Adeline!" someone waved their hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and focused on the person in front of me. "Are you listening?" Arsenio asked me with a frown, as if, trying to read my mind. I didn't even remember what I was thinking about. Maybe, I was thinking about a particular blue-eyed man. "Sorry," I probably looked dumb in front of him. "I asked you, is there is an extra bed or a blanket with you?" he repeated as if talking to a toddler. "Yeah… Yeah, yeah I do." I nodded my head and walked to my closet to retrieve an extra bed. That I have with me whenever I have a sleepover with Lisa, my college mate, now she lives in New York. Good old days! "Are you okay? You look very much dosed off the entire evening." He pointed out. "I'm fine.
I turned around to come, face to chest with Arsenio. My mouth dropped to the floor, my eyes widened at the sight in front of me. He was Arsenio but he had this huge white feather behind his back. He looked like an angel from heaven. Oh my god! He wasn't lying all this time. He was indeed from a different realm. The thing that I saw on television was him after all. What the hell was going on in my life? *************** Arsenio's Pov~ We were going dress shopping for me, after Adeline's work here. I really appreciate the way she provides for me even though I was a complete, stranger to her. But I couldn't rely on her. I must find a job during my stay in this realm. I met a middle-aged man today, while I had my early morning run in the same park that I visited yesterday. He told me that they were looking for a security guard in his office. He thought that I'll be fit for the position due t
The other gang members had discussed something about, supplying something to Jedrick. I thought back to their conversation, I think the bald guy told him something along the line of supplying it in the upcoming week. What it might be? Were they trafficking people? Or was it drugs? Let us wait and watch. After buying for Arsenio, we bought some men's suits and clothes for me. He raised his eyebrows at me in question. I gave him a wink and paid for our things. I made up my mind, whether the devil likes me or not he was going to take me as his secretary. ************ The very next week I was standing in front of Jedrick & co, it was a sixty-seven-floor building. It looked so posh and intimidating. I was wearing a suit and my hair was tucked inside my front lace wig. It almost looked like real hair. Thanks to modern technology. I thank everything holy because I was not interviewed by Jedrick. I had an i
This woman was entirely different from the woman I saw for the past two days. I could see that she adores her daughter more than anything in this world. Maybe she was not all that she let people see. "I won't be taking her next weekend, I'll be busy." The guy informed my lady boss, nodding at the little girl in her arms. "No problem," she tried to remain expressionless but I could see right through her eyes that she was pleased about it. "Bye, bye, daddy." The little girl waved at the guy. He must be my boss' husband. **************** Adeline's Pov~ Without Arsenio, my apartment looked dreary and forlorn. I didn't realize that his presence was the closest to having a family since my granny's death. I think I would be missing his tease, laughter, and companionship from my boring, everyday life. I was standing in front of the devil's hell. Today I'll be officially taking the position of J
We arrived at some snobbish-looking restaurant. It looked spectacular; probably the food here costs more than my monthly pay. The people looked so swanky, the men wore suits while the women were adorned with diamonds and embellished clothes. I looked down upon my attire and realized that I was acting like a man. I looked at my temporary boss; he was talking to the manager of this restaurant. As soon as the manager heard his name, he visibly shook and escorted us personally to our booth. A middle-aged man and a woman with blond hair in her early thirties were already there. Once they saw him, they stood up and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Jedrick, I hope you're doing fine." The man greeted him by shaking his hand with the devil. The woman just gave a slight bow at him as a sign of respect and gave me a small smile, which I returned immediately. "Yes, thank you. Please have a seat, Mr. Montgomery." My boss told Mr. Montgomery. He almost looked norma
