Chapter 5 His Interesting Prey
Have you ever felt like the clock ticking in every second feels like it is counting down on your last moments in life? The irritating sound coming from it feels like a drum roll on your way to death, mimicking your steps towards to an unknown end.
Selene sipped her hot chocolate milk, the rain is pouring hard outside. The roads have been blocked by humongous trees that fell down due to the storm. Hayes decided to suspend work as most office works were canceled as well so there’s not much customers that would go out with this kind of weather.
Selene hates the rain. Aside from being stuck in home doing nothing, Faye has been a little freaky about her condition. She wants her to just stay indoors, but when she told her she would not live long, she started to plan trips and set dates for vacations abroad. Faye wants Selene to achieve her dreams of traveling the world, but she also does not want her to get t

“Well? Care to explain what am I missing here or am I just going to take this as my signal to fly away?” Faye said, looking at Lucas and Selene, still staring at each other.“You actually found my place, why are you already leaving without meeting me?” Lucas can’t hide his smile. He thinks that his charms already worked on Selene.“Because I did not go here in my own will,” Selene looked at Faye, glaring. Faye just shrugged at her.“I did not think that your infamous business needs an appointment to get your service, it’s actually a shame because my friend over here needs to wish something big,” Faye put her arms around Selene, “and as soon as possible.”“I can arrange that for you, I just need something in exchange,” Lucas’s smile grew bigger making Selene uneasy. Selene took Faye&rs

CHAPTER 6“You’re kidding.”“I actually get that a lot,” Lucas stood up from his seat and walked towards Selene.The contract says that the wish she made is indeed in exchange for her soul, it shall be irrevocable and must take into effect after the wish has been granted.“What are you?? Are you really a genie? But don’t genies want nothing in return?!”Lucas stopped walking, he is now standing behind her.“Well that’s new, I often get ‘freak’, ‘psycho’, ‘conman’ but don’t worry they are not even close, even with yours, actually.”Lucas was enjoying Selene being confused. He was very thrilled because she is the first human to wish upon him that is not for her own gain, but nevertheless, the same rules shall apply to he

Selene stared at him for a good long minute. Trying to process what he just said.“Look, I am in a situation, and you should actually be glad I did not asked for your soul,” Lucas said, annoyed at her stare.“Are you..offering me a job?”“Yes?”“While I already have a job?”Lucas frowned at her.“Yes? Is there a problem with that? You earn money on one side and earn your forgiveness on the other,” Lucas said, as a matter of fact.Selene scoffed, “You’re unbelievable.”“I don’t know what context of ‘unbelievable’ you are imploring, but thank you.”Lucas turned his gaze to the construction site. This man he was talking about sent an application to them. After browsi
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 9 A Lily Between Two Towers
Selene sat on the vacant table at Hayes. The scorching heat made her sweat so much making her feel easily tired. There are not much customers that were dining in despite the clock nearing to tick on 12:00 lunchtime, the sun outside feels like it is just 10 feet away from the land, keeping the people from going out.It has been a week. She woke up at her own bedroom, with Faye frantically rushed on lecturing her about sleeping at their doorstep.She knew she was not sleeping at their doorstep, she came from somewhere else. But that somewhere else was currently out of reach. She did not see Lucas for a week now, when she went to Domus Malum, no one was answering her knocks, she knows he’s just there because his car was parked outside the parish.“Hey, paycheck’s in.” Lora sat in front of her. She handed her an ice-cold juice. Selene mouthed ‘thank you’

She mindlessly grabbed her spoon and fork, her eyes dropped on the empty table.Calix stared at her, waiting for her to realize that the food has not arrived yet.“Oh,” Selene dropped the utensils and gave an awkward smile. “I’m sorry,” she muttered.“It’s fine. But are you alright? Do you want to go home?” Calix was sincerely worried of her. Ever since they left the house, she was quiet in the whole ride. She did not even noticed that they went to a floating restaurant with romantic candles leading the way to their table.Calix even arrange a whole bunch of musicians that are now playing their second song.But Selene could not hear anything, nor see anything. Her mind was out of
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 11 Acquiescence
Lucas unbuttoned his shirt. He cannot see any end on what he’s doing. The number of clients he accepts remain the same, but the amount of his work from scanning the applications and going through each background just to make sure that the their wish will be of personal use for their sinful desires took a heavy toll on him. He rested his back on the chair and closed his eyes, he cannot believe that his Father made him do such awful job but refuses to give him four arms and omnipotence. A knock on his door was heard, and Zera entered, carrying a pile of papers. Lucas grimaced. She carefully placed the papers above his table, and sat on the chair. Lucas started scanning the newly-printed-still-warm applications. “We cannot let humans interfere with our work,” Zera spoke, looking intently at Lucas. “I believe I heard that for the

Lucas went back to the mansion. He took big strides, walking hastily, like someone is catching him. He did not bother to knock or to give a sign of his presence and went straight to the living room. The old man was still sitting and drinking his tea, he was surprised to see Lucas again. “Did you forget something?” he asked, but Lucas just launched and grabbed him by the collar. The man got scared to see Lucas’s face, it looked so angry, yet his lips formed a smile- a devilish smile. His eyes are burning with rage, like a predator ready to eat his prey. “I am afraid that I need to take back a pinch of your happiness,” Lucas said and lifted him up in the air with his one hand. “You dirty humans think they can get away with anything!” he yelled. “Look into my eyes!” Lucas spread fear on the whole room. His gold eyes beamed with anger and his lips twitched. He was r
