The Taste of Heaven 22. A Kiss To Make It Better
Once Zach had left the room, Nevea never saw him again for three days. It was almost like he had vanished from the world. Alone in the room, Nevea had nothing to do except sleep and ate. A young woman occasionally visited her to bring the food and helped wash her body. She was not treated poorly. On the contrary, all her necessities were high quality, especially the food. She would never get to taste heavenly food other than from this place. Regardless of those treatments, anger had not subsided in her; it only grew with each passing second. Nevea kept pulling her hands forward, making them clink loudly. Strangely, she found that sound had a calming effect on her. Although her wrist was scratched and bled multiple times due to her action, she ignored it. The pain was her escape to avoid thinking about her reality. Her current situation was a complete and utter nightmare. She could not do anything to escape since she had no knowledge about her surroundings. Even if she tried, Zach or
The Taste of Heaven 23. Perfect Match
Inside the room, the rogues were poised to attack, their eyes fixed on her with a sinister hunger. Anticipation hung in the air like a noose, and their saliva pooled on the ground like oil, repulsing her. She tilted her neck left and right, easing the tension from too much sleeping. When the rogues heard Nevea's faint sound, they roared with fury and pounded toward her. She sprinted away, her eyes flicking across the room, frantically seeking a weapon she could use. When her gaze locked on a gun lying on the ground behind one of the rogues, she didn't hesitate before going for it.Behind the door, Zach sat crossed-legged, waiting patiently as he listened to Nevea's grunt and heavy breath due to her fight. His hand raised to hide a wicked smile across his face as he heard the low groan of rogues. It was entrancing, more captivating than a classic piece from a renowned musician. Then he heard her voice, strong and fierce. "Come here, fucker!" Her cursing was like a poem to him. Crazy?
The Taste of Heaven 24. Escape Plan
Raven paced back and forth in front of Logan's office. He had been waiting three days to hear news of the fate of his friend Nevea – since Vlassta had announced Cristy and Ryan were dead.The hunters began speculating who was behind the incident. Although death during the annual test was not uncommon, it still brought much light to the issue. They were already pointing fingers at Nevea, demanding that when she was found, she had to be punished immediately. That was why Raven was worried sick. If Nevea walked from the gate of Vlassta alive, she would be deemed a suspect. No one would want to welcome her except him and Lola. If Nevea were to be punished according to the law, she would get a death sentence for killing her fellow hunters. Raven's heart raced as he saw Lola step out of Logan's office. He rushed towards her, desperate for news. "What did he say?" he asked urgently. Lola looked away and sadly shook her head; her shoulders slumped in defeat. "There is no news yet, and when
The Taste of Heaven 25. Silas's Choice
Silas' footsteps were soft, almost imperceptible, as he left Nevea and Zach behind. His lips moved silently as he whispered a prayer for Nevea's wellbeing. Then, he sauntered away with a determined look on his face as he knew he had to choose a side by the end of the night. Silas entered the throne room, and Levi was there, sitting lazily with his legs wide open as he watched the moon from the vast window. "You are done early today." Levi greeted him without averting his gaze from the stunning light of the moon.Silas took a seat across from Levi and probed a question. "I need your advice."That completely caught Levi's attention. His body moved swiftly to face him, and his temple frowned. "You are the advisor here, and I am the king. You should be asking yourself.""I am serious. This is between life and death."Silas's darkening gaze and the deep, low rumble of his voice told Levi he was dead serious. The air became still and oppressive."Okay, what is it?" Levi rested his back aga
The Taste of Heaven 26. Consequence
Zach returned to his residence around nine in the evening. He hummed as he made his way toward the second floor. On his hand was a big plastic back that contained his gift for Nevea. With every step he took, a trail of blood fell to paint the marble floor. As he walked, he could feel the heavy tension in the air. He glanced around and met the eyes of several people who had gathered there. Their eyes widened with fear, and some even took a step back. Zach was used to the fear that followed him like a shadow, but today the intensity of their reactions seemed magnified by ten or a hundred times.His brows arched in question, but none dared to step in and explain to him. "What happened?" He asked coldly. They were glancing at each other, forcing one another to bring the news to him. Their action made Zach's brows deepen. "The…the room on the second floor—"Even before his servant finished his sentence, Zach had moved in a flash. He watched as the door was left ajar; there was no sign o
The Taste of Heaven 27. A Visit to Palace
Raven stayed with Nevea in her room while Lola went away as her boyfriend, Ian, suddenly called for her. The atmosphere between them suddenly turned stiff, as they did not know what to say to each other. Nevea kept glancing at Raven and to the door, and so did Raven. Raven took a sharp breath and braved himself to put his palm on top of hers, "Are you okay?" he asked tenderly. Nevea gave a weak smile and clasped his fingers as if she needed strength from him. But, honestly, she was not okay. Her head was still filled with the thought of ruining Zach with her hands. It was too much, almost impossible for her to hold her anger. "You don't seem okay to me. Do you want to talk about it?""No, but can you hug me?" Her eyes bore into his. Tiredness was palpable in her blue orbs, and Raven did not have the heart to refuse. "Come here." Raven opened his arms wide, and Nevea hugged him without hesitation. He was warm, probably the warmest living being she had ever known. "You know, Rave, I
The Taste of Heaven 28. Zachary Dacre
Logan and Robert strode leisurely in the hallway of the palace. In front of them was the commander of the royal guard, Vito West. They arrived at the palace twenty minutes before their appointment, and Vito was tasked to show them the way. Usually, a low-ranked guard would be responsible for escorting visitors, but it seemed like the royals were a bit wary of their visit, so they let the commander lead them. "Please," Vito opened the door to the office room, letting the two enter, and he followed behind. Robert and Logan entered the room. King-Levi, and his advisor, Silas, were in the room. They immediately pay their respect by bowing their head slightly. "I believe it's been a long time since we saw each other, Logan. I wouldn't say I am pleased to see you since you tend to bring me headaches every time you visit me." Levi's face was flat as he greeted them without bothering to play nice. "Long time no see, Logan, Robert," Silas extended his hand to offer a handshake with them. "P
The Taste of Heaven 29. Without Power
"Hello there." Zach emerged from Sara's back, waved his hand to her, and blinked playfully. "Why is he here?" Nevea pointed at Zach with her index finger. The scowl on her face was barely hidden as her gaze bore into his. From the way he stood calmly behind Sara, Nevea knew that Zach came here to play, not only with her but with the higher-ups as well. "I don't think it's wise for him to be here. Who knows, he might kill someone out of boredom.""Ouch," Zach said. He hoisted his hand and placed it on his chest, pretending like he had been hit by something. "Your accusation wounded my heart, Nevea." Nevea rolled her eyes in boredom. This man and his consistent line. He must be one without creativity. "I'm serious. He is dangerous." "Don't worry about him. We have Logan, Robert, and Brett here to protect us." Sara grabbed Nevea's hand and led her to the empty and dim cell. The cell was just like how Nevea remembered. The walls had turned dirtier over the course of years, but what di
