บททั้งหมดของ The Devil's Bride: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Waking up for her third full day of working at the office, Lyra immediately sighed. She checked the empty space beside her and walked towards her closet to pick up the dress that she had prepared the night before. Derrick was out, sitting in the living room. She could hear the sound of the television. It was probably showing the latest news that Zin had gathered for his master to watch. She never thought that Derrick would be better than her at adjusting to this life. But Lyra had the determination to do better. She knew that she had to do well, or else she might not be able to fulfill the promise she made to Derrick. When she promised to learn and get well adjusted to her new world, she had no idea where to start. But once Derrick told her that she was too kind and too easy to manipulate, it stung. Something deep inside her understood what he meant by that too well. Her only goal is to be powerful enough to protect herself from all the people that are trying to make her into their o

"Master, Miss Lyra was just trying to do her best." Zin stated. Looking at how Derrick tapped his fingertips at the desk with increasing speed almost made him develop anxiety. "She's not even that far from us; she's a floor away, doing whatever she can to learn and adjust to her new world.""Yeah, isn't that great?" added Dame. "I bet she's doing amazing. I heard a bunch of employees complimenting her earlier at the cafeteria. When Zin and I ate there, she was the topic of conversation for everyone else."Derrick almost snapped his neck looking at Dame. "What did they say?" he asked."They all love her. Apparently, she's too kind and amazing.""And I also heard that she was smart," Dame recalled. "Someone said that she understood everything pretty quickly. "I guess her goal of studying the ins and outs of the company is working.""She's gaining so much respect out there.""That's great," Derrick commented, still impatient because the clock was ticking a little too slowly. He spent an

The sky was clear, even though the sun hadn't fully risen yet. Lyra could feel the cold breeze on the balcony while holding a cup of cold coffee. The coffee she had been trying to drink since early this morning had completely cooledd breeze on the balcony while holding a cup of cold coffee. The coffee she had been trying to drink since early this morning had completely cooled. Since she woke up at three in the morning, she was not able to go back to dreamland and chose to make the most disgusting cup of coffee she could possibly make. Because Zin has always made her the drink, she did not fully understand how to use the fancy coffee machine they have in the kitchen. Dame was not up yet, and nobody could help her.It was bitter. But she can't even complain. Perhaps because she has no one to complain to. She would have whined endlessly if she had someone right next to her who she could bother at any time. But Derrick was not there to listen.It has been three days since the event happen

In a land where there is nothing but darkness, a throne glowing in red flames was occupied by a handsome man. He wore nothing but loose black cloth that acted both as a long skirt and something to cover his toned, bare torso. Although he wasn’t used to it lately, he managed to have only one side of his chest covered. Good thing there is nothing to feel down there but heat. The horns above his head looked a lot bigger than before. His hair grew longer, falling to his shoulders. He’s been in hell before, but he never felt it for a while. Now that he’s back, he can definitely tell how devastating it is to be down there once again. Instead of smelling her sweet fragrance, he was left with nothing but the smell of something burned. The screams of those evil souls are the only thing he can hear aside from the whispers that kept running through his mind. Each of the thousands of doors in front of him contains a room for each soul to suffer their own kind of hell, prepared by his demons. No

In the devil's mansion, Zin almost shed all of his feathers as soon as he realized that he was not able to reach Lyra. He kept on calling, but she never answered. The sun is about to set, and he won't be able to take it if something bad ever happens to his new queen."You still can't reach her, huh?" Dame asked from the kitchen. He headed over to the couch and laid down. "Where else could she possibly be? She doesn't have a bunch of friends, right?""Her friend!" Zin perked up. "How can I even forget?"Zin typed so quickly on his phone that it was almost comical. He hurriedly dialed Raine's number. Three rings in, and he already heard her voice."Zin! Are you with Lyra right now?" Raine clearly sounds like she was battling a bunch of bees. She was panicking and her voice was shaking; he could tell that she was also trying to catch her breath while wind sounds came through. "Please, Zin, tell me that you are with her. You picked her up, right?""She's not with me," Zin replied. He tapp
