Sweet Warnings

We’re all currently seated in Kiki’s living room. Kiki's gaze darts between Luca and me, her eyes narrowing like a hawk zeroing in on prey. My focus remains fixed on my fidgeting fingers. As my nails click nervously against the armrest, anxiety gnaws at my stomach. Luca sits majestically, his posture regal. His eyes gleam with overflowing confidence. The dim lighting accentuates his chiseled features. My heart skips a beat, as his gaze locks onto mine. "Why is she so important to you?", Kiki asks, her voice laced with skepticism and concern. Luca turns to her raising a brow, as if questioning her nosiness. I sense a flicker of irritation in his eyes, but it vanishes quickly. "I care for all my employees,", he says. My eyes shoot up to meet his eyes. I almost laughed at how much he’s trying to sound sincere. And I know that Kiki sees past his act too. She raises an eyebrow. "This level of closeness is a bit creepy,", she state, her words hanging in the air. I fiddle wit

Sweet Warnings 2

Shit. I could hear my heart hammering against my chest as I turn slowly to meet his eyes. I force a smile, scoffing as I delay my answer. My eyes dart around aimlessly. There’s a change in Jamie’s expression as he pushes himself up, his brows scrunched. I gulp, my smile falling. “Unexpected..weather change?”, I reply, unsure of my lie would work on him. Jamie's gaze lingers as he scans my face for any signs of deceit. My heart’s pace quickens and a cold sweat breaks on my forehead. Then, an expression of relief replaces his suspicious one. “Whew! For a second there, I thought you were pregnant!”, he laughs. I laugh nervously with him, my pitch raising above its normal volume. Well, we’re both happy for different reasons. But in the end, we all get what we want. With a hasty kiss on Jamie's forehead, I waste no time and speed out of the house. I trudge to the street, my feet heavy with the weight of my problems. Jamie's illness, Sandy's surgery, and finally, Luca. Thankfully

Pride and Shame

I flee to the restroom, my face burning with embarrassment. The media frenzy outside continues, disregarding her interruption. What’s worse is that Luca joined the crowd of people to actually see the truth for himself. And the look of disappointment on his face is the last thing I expect to see. As I run off, the cameras shutter endlessly, mocking me. I burst through the door, the distant hum of conversation constantly reminding me of my failure. I listen as everyone congratulates Rachel, their laughter echoing in my head. I collapse onto the toilet seat, seeking refuge from all the chaos. I bury my face in my hands, my shoulders shaking uncontrollably as tears stream down my face. I thought that taking Luca’s offer and signing my soul away would be the end of my problems. However, it’s just the start. But even my time alone couldn’t last longer than a moment. I hear heels clicking on the tile floor and I instantly quiet down my sobs. The scent of Rachel's perfume wafts through

Recovery

3RD PERSON’S POV Stella bursts into her and Luca’s shared office, the door swinging shut with a soft thud. The noise echoes through the room, drawing Luca’s attention. He looks up from his computer, confusion etched on his face. He raises a questioning brow at Stella but she ignores him and strides to her desk. "What's wrong with you? You look like you’ve seen a ghost”, he asks, his voice tinged with concern. Stella rushes to pack her stuff, her hands shaking as she gathered her belongings. Her fingers fumble with the straps of her bag. She throws it over her shoulder, her breath coming out in short gasps. "I really have to go,", she says, her voice trembling. Luca can tell that there’s obviously something bothering her. Behind her touch facade, she’s basically begging to be relieved of her duty. Luca's eyes narrows at him, his gaze falling on her shaking hands. "Where are you going?", he asks. Stella blinks down at him, struggling to find her voice. How is she going to e

Truth

Jamie's gaze locks onto me, his eyes narrowing. My lips wobble as I try to find words to redeem myself. But none comes. All that makes it out of my mouth is a puff of air. I look down at Sandy, her own hooded eyes looking back at me. Kiki is frozen in her spot, dumbfounded by her own recklessness. “Boss? What do you mean “boss”?”, Jamie asks, surprise, curiosity and suspicion swirling in his voice. A hint of betrayal flickers across his face. And I know that I’m in deep trouble. But it’s too late to go back now. It’ll be futile to come up with any other lies. Kiki and I exchange knowing glances. The silence grows, irking the man even more. "I’m asking you a question!!”, Jamie explodes, firmness edging his tone. Kiki's jumps in her place. This is the first time she’s ever heard him sound so angry. It’s scary, truly. My cheeks flush scarlet, and my gaze falls to the floor. Not one of us is eager to open up first. Kiki glances nervously around the room before pacing to his sid

Challenge

As the car glides through the dark streets, my gaze is drawn to the view outside. The buildings and streetlights are a blur as he speeds by. I lay my head on the headrest and faced the window. Luca drives silently and I’m thankful that he understands that this isn’t a time to disturb my peace. The car arrives shortly at a large gate. It looms over the car, gloriously shimmering in the moonlight. For the first time that night, something manages to catch my attention. I gaze at the engravings on the metal bars as Luca swipes a card on an electronic device. It beeps and the gates part to let their owner in. While I was absolutely amazed to witness such extravagance, Luca seems unbothered. Of course! It’s his mansion! What do I expect?! I peep out of the window, the night’s cool breeze ruffling my hair. The car rounds a massive fountain and my jaw drops to the ground. It’s a large statue of a naked little boy. Water spouts from two pair of holes that are supposed to contain h

Karma

I blink, my eyes widening in bewilderment, as Luca's scorching gaze lingers on my lips. I feel angered that he still desires me. I blink down at him, unable to decipher the emotion swirling in his eyes. The familiar chill in his eyes has melted, replaced by an unnerving intensity. I feel trapped. Yet, somehow I’m drawn to this unfamiliar vulnerability. Is this the same man that often stares back at me with cold, empty eyes? The man gazing into my eyes, isn’t the same man I met a few days ago. Is it pity? Guilt? I don’t want to be the one to find out. Desperately, I push against his chest. However, Luca's arms envelop me. His hands clasp behind my back, locking me in place. “Where do you think you're going?", he whispers hoarsely. His face burrows into my neck. I can feel his warm breath dancing across my skin. I scrunch my face, squirming against his unyielding grip. But he doesn’t budge. After struggling for a few seconds, I give up. My hands fall limply to my side in defe

Redemption

"Stella, you're reinstated as project lead”, Luca announces. The room plunges into stunned silence. Everyone’s eyes lock onto me. I sense a swirling mix of curiosity and suspicion as their piercing gazes probe for answers. I look up at Luca with shocked eyes, fearing he might be playing with me. But his eyes only show seriousness and maybe even remorse. We’re all assembled in the confines of the conference room to tackle Rachel’s incompetence. Luca had been so furious that he even refuses to meet my eyes. I’m certain he feels just as guilty because he decided to assign her to the tasks. "Rachel, your negligence has devastating consequences.”, he continues, his eyes scanning our faces for any signs of opposition. When he gets none, clears his throat and resumes his speech. “Effective immediately, you will step down from your duties as the project lead. Your three-month severance package will offset the substantial damages incurred.”, Rachel’s eyes widen. Her head, that had

Zero Commitment

3RD PERSON’S POV “What did you say?”, Stella asks, her eyes widening to the size of saucers. Her lips still burn from Luca’s scorching kiss. Her face falls as she glares at Luca, hoping to find a hint of a joke in his eyes. But there’s none. Stella’s hand presses against his chest as she pushes herself off him. Luca’s sad eyes follow her movements as he sits upright. Stella shakes her head in denial, her tongue darting out to wet her lips. She doesn’t know how to feel about his sudden indirect confession. Had he always treated her unfairly knowing that he felt something for her? Or was it an act to cover up for himself? This new information is overwhelming, she would need time to herself. “Stella, listen to me”, Luca’s hand grabs her wrist. However, Stella gently pulls her hand away. She backs away from him, the lines on her forehead deepening. Luca instantly gets the message. She doesn’t want to deal with the issue now. “What are you saying? This isn’t supposed to happe

Denial

Determined to not fulfill the prophecy, after ruling for a while, Luca decides to head to earth to begin his search for this supposed true love. He can sense that the end is near. It’s not like he believes in love. He just doesn’t see himself as the villain. And the last thing he would want is to face the guilt of being the destructor of the worlds. Luca’s shoulders slump as he takes in the pain of her rejection. He isn’t in love with Stella. He just needs her to love him. At least that’s what the seer said. He buries his head into his palms, confused on what to do next. It’s obvious that Stella doesn’t feel anything for him aside physical attraction. And he’s to blame partly. It was wrong of him to take advantage of her crisis to satisfy himself. However, he can’t take full credit. He’s still learning the ways of the humans. And greed is one common attribute, he thought it would come useful. "She can't be the one,", he mutters to himself dejectedly. He puts a hand on his
