All Chapters of Falling in love with a supernatural being : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

And there he was.The monster himself. The nightmare I thought I had escaped from was standing right in front of me, a cruel smile spreading across his face.Luke Paul stood with both hands tucked into the pockets of his expensive trousers, his head tilted slightly as he looked down at me. His eyes were filled with twisted satisfaction, as if he were a hunter staring at the prey he had finally trapped.And I was that prey.If anyone ever asked me to describe Luke Paul in one word, I would say beast. He was a monster in every way, and the hardest part was that no one else could see it. To the public, the media, and the people who admired him, Luke was the perfect man and successful young billionaire. But to me, he was the devil hiding behind a perfect smile.Luke took a slow, confident step forward, stopping between my parents and me. His eyes swept over me, after a moment, he looked away from me and turned his attention to my parents.He didn’t bow or greet anyone politely. Instead,

The car finally came to a stop in front of a huge mansion. Tall iron gates surrounded the property, making it look more like a prison than a home. Across the center of the gates, in black metal letters, were the words:Paul’s Castle.This was it, the main Paul family mansion.The car doors opened, and Luke’s security guards took my suitcase from the trunk. Without saying a word, they carried it up the wide stone steps and into the house.I slowly got out of the car, my heart pounding as I walked toward the large front doors. But the moment I stepped inside, the fear that had been crushing me suddenly disappeared.Standing in the middle of the grand foyer was Luke’s mother, Mrs. Paul.She sat in a modern wheelchair, with several maids standing quietly behind her.The moment she saw me, her face lit up with a warm smile. She slowly opened her arms, welcoming me with a kindness I hadn’t seen in a long time.In that single moment, all the fear, anger, and pain I had been carrying because

I held my burning cheek, tears filling my eyes. It felt like my skin was on fire. I slowly looked up at the head of the table. Luke stood over me, his chest rising and falling with anger. “You’ll eat whatever they serve you,” Luke growled. “Or do you really think this is some charity home where you can make demands?”“Luke, stop it!” Mrs. Paul shouted from across the table, her voice shaking with anger. “How could you slap her? Right in front of me!”Luke didn’t even look at her. His cold, furious eyes stayed locked on me as he pointed a warning finger at his mother.“Mom, please stay out of this,” he said through gritted teeth. “She’s my wife, and I’ll treat her however I want.”Then he turned to the trembling maid beside my chair.“Serve her the pasta with the garlic sauce,” he ordered. His icy gaze returned to me. “And you’re going to eat every single bite.”Luke sat back down and adjusted his cuffs as if nothing had happened.The maid’s hands shook as she picked up the serving sp

I turned back to face my mother, my body freezing. My hand rested on the door handle. The moment she mentioned Daniel’s name, a sharp wave of irritation ran through me.“Mom… why are you asking about Daniel all of a sudden?” I asked, my voice low and tense as I struggled to keep my anger under control.“Daniel worked for your father and me faithfully for twelve years!” my mother shouted, her voice filled with anger. Tears shone in her eyes as she looked at me. “Then, all of a sudden, he disappeared without a trace. Do you expect me to sit here in this wheelchair and not ask questions, Luke?”I let out a slow sigh and forced myself to calm down. In an instant, I became the sweet, caring son again. I walked back to her bed, knelt beside her, and gently held her trembling hands in mine.“Oh, come on, Mom,” I said softly, trying to calm her down. “You need to stop worrying about Daniel. It’s not good for your health. I already told you, I had nothing to do with his disappearance. My secur

The door handle slowly turned all the way down.Fear gripped my chest. Without thinking, I reacted on instinct. I quickly climbed onto the bed, kicked off my shoes, and lay flat on the bed. Pulling the blanket up to my shoulders, I shut my eyes tightly and forced myself to breathe slowly, pretending to be asleep.But under the blanket, my whole body was shaking. Every muscle was tense as I waited to see who had opened the door.The door slowly creaked open.“What the hell is going on here?!”Luke’s voice exploded. The anger in his voice made my eyes fly open. There was no way I could keep pretending to be asleep.I quickly sat up on the bed, holding the blanket tightly against my chest. Luke stood in the doorway, his jaw was clenched, and his eyes slowly scanned the room before stopping on Bella.She stood frozen beside the wardrobe, her face pale with fear.“What were you two talking about?” Luke asked, walking into the room with slow, steady steps.Bella’s hands shook so badly that
