45 Days with Logan のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

𝙇𝙊𝙂𝘼𝙉I arrived at the location where I was supposed to meet Ox and Pierre.The Onyx Room A private, soundproof lounge wrapped in black marble and silence. The kind of place where secrets are born and people disappear. This is where I carry out most of my demonic work… where I meet my clients.And when I say clients, I mean the kind of people who pay to see someone die.If it isn't about killing someone, then I'm not interested in that shit.When I stepped inside the Onyx Room, Pierre and Ox were bent over the snooker table, completely absorbed in their game.They didn't notice my presence.I wasn't exaggerating when I said I walked like a ghost. I moved like a ghost… a shadow pulled straight from hell. My footsteps never made a sound. People only realized I was there when I wanted them to—and when they did, it was usually too late.Pierre and Ox circled the table with matching grins, eyes fixed on the rolling balls, their carefree energy bouncing around the room.For a moment,

𝘼𝘽𝘽𝙄𝙀The party was already lively when we arrived. Music blasted from the speakers while people laughed, danced, and talked loudly.Manon and Zenia introduced me to several people, proudly telling them I had come all the way from California.Not long after, Chaney and Pacard arrived.My heart immediately began racing.I waited… hoping he would say something about how I looked tonight.But he didn't.Not even a single comment.A small wave of disappointment washed over me. Still, that didn't stop the feelings in my heart.He was still my crush.Maybe he was just too shy to say anything.Before I could think about it too much, Zenia and Manon grabbed my hands and dragged me to the dance floor."I don't even know how to dance!" I laughed nervously.But that didn't stop them.Soon I was moving along with the music, laughing and spinning with them.I had no idea what I was doing.But somehow… I loved it.Abigail Summers.Partying?Dancing?If someone had told me this would happen, I

𝘼𝘽𝘽𝙄𝙀It had been two days since I last saw Demon. After that night in the restroom… after everything that happened… it felt like he had vanished into thin air, like a fragile bubble that popped and disappeared.He didn't come home for two freaking nights, and I spent the whole two days alone.Part of me wanted to feel relief. I should have been happy, but strangely, I didn't. There was this nagging curiosity, a whisper inside me wondering where he could have wandered off to.Ruby have his number, but I didn't dare take it. My phone had been switched off ever since Daisy called. I didn't want Mom to find out where I was hiding.A sigh left my lungs as I stared at my calendar. Now I was left with forty-one days.But there was still time to hang out with Manon and Zenia, and mostly especially be with my crush Chaney.Wherever Demon had gone for two days wasn't my concern. With his absence, I could literally breathe.And his cobra? Shadow has been in its tank, and I was starting to

𝙇𝙊𝙂𝘼𝙉A lot of people were already waiting for the fight to begin. The underground arena was suffocatingly packed, bodies pressed together, breaths mingling in the heat. The air reeked of sweat, adrenaline, and the raw, ugly hunger for violence.This is why I love L'impasse des Ombres.Half of its people don’t just enjoy bloodshed… they need it. They crave it the way a dying man craves his next breath.Pierre and Ox rushed toward me the moment they spotted me standing at the doorway, like men clinging to their last thread of hope."You came," Ox spoke in Chinese. His voice held a flicker of relief. He was happy to see me… but he didn't dare show it too openly."Who am I competing with?" I asked in French, my voice calm, almost bored."I don't know him. But Jericho said he is a former wrestler. Ox can't compete with him. He's… really hefty," Pierre replied, his voice lower now, cautious.A scoff almost slipped past my lips.Call it overconfidence, and I would gladly wear the crown

𝘼𝘽𝘽𝙄𝙀Amber staggered, almost falling to the floor. "Did you see the face of the person that actually saved you?" Manon asked, as if she was doubting me."Yes, I did." I nodded sharply. "It was Demon who saved me. He even gave me a piggyback home."Manon shook her head, clearly skeptical. It was obvious she didn't believe me."Does Bloodbath have a lookalike that we don't know of?" Manon asked, directing the question to Amber."You don't believe that Demon saved me?" I muttered, my heart sank a little."It's not that I don't believe you, but the Bloodbath we know… he wouldn't save anyone. He enjoys watching people suffer. Him saving you… it's like a punch to the face," Manon explained.Does that mean I'm the first person Demon has ever saved?And why… did that make me happy?He killed someone.Amber gripped my hand suddenly, and my eyes snapped to hers, startled."Does… does Bloodbath know I was the one who took you to The Velvet Massacre last night?" she asked, her voice tight w
