Zin excitedly entered the house with a bunch of paper bags filled with groceries. The sun just hid behind the mountains, leaving a beautiful tinge of orange in the sky. He was finally free of Raine's loud voice, which had been making his ears ring for days. The boy just got back from helping Raine settle into her new apartment unit. He had also taken care of the gang association problem that she had, paying the leader and hiring a bunch of security people to guard her. It was a lot, and he never really took these kinds of jobs. None of those were what he was supposed to be doing. However, he just couldn't say no to Derrick. Sure, they both know that they should not meddle with the lives of normal human beings, but somehow, he can't just do that. Derrick wanted to protect Lyra, and if she had to deal with that human speaker a couple more times, he would still do it. Living in a human body made him enjoy serving his master more. He never expected that his former hobby of watching peop

Lyra paused, staring at her full-body reflection in a mirror, wondering if she had made the right decision by wearing such a scandalous gown. It's a red spaghetti-strap dress that reaches all the way down to her feet, with a long slit that begins at her thigh. It's elegant and bold. There is certainly nothing in this piece of clothing that could hide her shynessad made the right decision by wearing such a scandalous gown. It's a red spaghetti-strap dress that reaches all the way down to her feet, with a long slit that begins at her thigh. It's elegant and bold. There is certainly nothing in this piece of clothing that could hide her shyness. Earlier, she had to shave her armpits and legs at least three times to make sure that there was nothing to be seen. Although the dress could showcase her slim waist and amazing curves, she can't escape the fact that one wrong step and her whole heart and soul would be exposed to the public. It would be an ultimate disaster that she could never rec

Lyra’s POVI can’t believe that I pushed myself to be in this tight, awkward, and stupid situation. What in the world was I thinking by agreeing to this? Did I really think that I was that untouchable now? Well, I was too dumb.Letting Peter stare at me for this long without showing him what I know is another level of hell that I hate so much. It’s creeping me out, the way he looks at me with lust in his eyes. Removing my coat was a bad idea. I shouldn’t have thought that showing off was a sign of me getting more powerful. I am weak as heck.If Derrick was not here, beside me, holding my hand, I would’ve already run away and left, even if everyone was cheering for the couple celebrating their engagement.I was a little fish thrown into a tank filled with sharks. I was bleeding as the loud whispers scratched me deeper and deeper. I know that everyone in this hall was more interested in seeing the drama that was between Mina and me. Perhaps the revenge route was never for me. Goodness,

"I have to say, that was insane!" Zin was too happy to cause chaos. He clapped his hands as they got out of the car to get inside the mansion. If he were in his original form, Derrick was sure that by now he would be zooming all over the place and scattering all his feathers."I was glad that you enjoyed that," Lyra told him. "It was a horrible experience for me, but I am glad that it is all over.""Not really," Derrick said. "You plan to sue them, right?""At the drive home, I was thinking of not pushing through with it, honestly," she responded. She took off her heels as soon as they got inside the door and walked barefoot. "I just wanted to make them fear me, for once, and it felt like I accomplished my goal.""If you back out, they will stop fearing you again, knowing that you won't be able to do anything against them but talk."Derrick loosened up his tie and sat on the couch to chat with Lyra, who immediately lied down and used her coat as a blanket."I don’t think I am ready fo

"There are a lot of places to express how sweet you two are. Do you really plan on doing that right in front of us as well?" Dame expressed his bitterness towards Derrick. As he glanced at the way the devil held Lyra's hand while casually sitting on the couch, he rolled his eyes.Their first day at the office hasn't been that eventful yet. But Lyra was already excited about going home, and hiding in their room. She could tell that Dame was kidding. But she can't help but feel shy that other people notice how inseparable they are from each other."Derrick, maybe you can let go of my hand," she whispered."They have to get used to this," Derrick responded. "Don't mind Dame, he's just the Demon that hates love.""That's not my title.""Well, it kinda is, really," Zin added. "You're the demon in charge of punishing all the people that turned evil over love.""That doesn't mean that I hate love, does it?""You always hated having to work so much." Zin chuckled. "It correlates, I think.""T
