Chapter 17
“Who the heck is your Ashley and why did he need a seraphim to act as his charge?” Leviathan casually asked as he poured some water he got from the fridge.
“He’s just a human—I’m sure of that, no wait.” I paused, looking back into the memories that we had together. “Ashley can see ghosts and the like—he can also see auras as far as I remember, that’s why nobody hangs out with him.”
“Except you.” Lev pointed out.
“Yeah, fuck you. He ain’t lame.” I gave him the finger.
“So he’s just a normal kid who can see f
Chapter 18(Third person’s POV)Hell wasn’t as what you have imagined it, oh no. Hell was something no one from the mortal realm had ever began to picture. It wasn’t as Dante Alighieri’s circles of hell—no rivers of fire nor eternal wailing of damned souled—okay maybe there is but it’s on the outskirts of the main city. But what’s clear is that Hell is rather…pleasant.After all, it is one of the underworld’s melting pot where people traded, sold, marketed and made home. Supernatural creatures that is—a couple of mortals but it’s quite sure they’re mixed blood or someone special. By I mean special, those who had sold their souls and became personal assets of certain demons.“
Chapter 19Ashley’s POV“You’re fine alone? Are you sure?” Phil asked and I nodded my head in confirmation. I mean, after that dream I suddenly had a bout of energy. I don’t know where that came from but I’m suddenly energized. I guess I should take it easy but I feel like I’m a bit better. That’s weird but whatever, everything is weird around me. I’m in a decaying meat suit with a brain that’s going livin la vida loca haywire on me.“I’m fine Phil—really. I’ll just finish up a few of my lesson plans, have coffee and dinner then go to bed. Sorry for worrying you—I really had no idea what just happened.” I said and Phil patted my head, comforting me.“You know
Chapter 20Father was as flamboyant as he can be. And by I mean flamboyant I mean displaying his body with only a pair of leather pants on. Leviathan is in his fucking lap and Belphegor seems like he’s okay with anything that’s happening as he continued conversing with father and Lev.I, on the other hand, if confused as fuck. Leviathan only spared me a few glances while we are eating and I feel like he wants me to drop the topic off. But come on, I am Crocell for a reason. I am annoying as fuck when I don’t want to be here.And that’s like my demon—yes but also no. That is a horrifying thought, let me retract that.“Ehem.” I coughed to get their attention. Father looked up and inclined his head, Belphegor gave me a smile while Leviathan looked like he’d rather not
Chapter 21I thought my morning in hell—would be heaven with how soft my bed is and how every single thing was to my liking but no. I am in the lair of one of the bosses here. I didn’t had a good night’s sleep with how stressed I am thinking about Ashley’s safety—not my Ashley but the Ashley back at home.This is so confusing so let’s go ahead and give them nicknames. My Ashley would be Ashy and my house mate would be Ash—right that’s amazing.I was busy all night dispatching a few of my minions back to the mortal realm to watch my house and Ash—I can’t trust father and I am having a hard time trusting Leviathan at the moment so I think this is the best idea I could come up with for now.“That was really rude of you to just up and leave last night.
Chapter 22(Third person Flashback POV) Fate. What does people stand against fate? Against what was carved on stone by the universe itself? How do you defy the movement of the world? How do you defy what's written in the stars?That was what’s running inside the man’s head.A curse.
Chapter 23“Frustrated?” Leviathan asked as I drove the car. It’s an almost empty road so there’s not a lot of traffic except for a few cars.“A bit.” I hummed and a comfortable silence settled in.We got back around three P.M. and materialized in my office. I still have some work to update and I am still pissed that our trip to London was all for naught.Actually, we did had great information from there—it was not for nothing after all. It’s plenty enough to make me look into things I have not considered before.First, for some reason, Ashley is being guarded heavily by
Chapter 28“Ash.” Trent groaned and trailed kisses against my jaw, going down my neck and sucking spots along the way. A moan escaped my mouth as I breathlessly ran my hand through his hair. Fuck—id he doesn’t stop I’m seriously gonna go along, fuck waiting. I am nothing but a thirsty soul in front of this handsome man. I have weaknesses too.“Trent—Ah. There.” I pleaded and whimpered as he slipped his hand inside my shirt. Trent kept murmuring litany of sweet words praising me—making me feel how beautiful I am at the very moment.He’s fucking skilled at this and I don’t know if I should be upset or over the moon cause damn, those hands and lips knows what they’re doing.“You’re so bea
Chapter 24“Food.” Ash placed in front of me rather heavily before sitting in the seat without another peep. It’s as what he said, seafood boil and tiger shrimps that he knows are my favorite but I feel like someone is pissed eating his own food as he tried hard to ignore me sitting in front of him.“Do you want some wine?” I asked with a cough to get his attention. He just ignored me. Flat out acted like he didn’t hear any of the things I said.Okay, what the fuck is up?“Hey.” I called out. Ignored.“Hey!” I called out the second time and he answered me a brief ‘What?’ with an indescribable facial expression. “I asked you if you want some wine with this. Are you angry?” I asked with a raised brow.
