★★★ "Dinner is delicious. Thank you, Aunt Merry," Isabella finished her plate and praised, which brought annoyance to Bernard's face. "You selfish lady, I made every meal for you every day. Your tone has never been so courteous and admiring towards me, but today your aunt Merry made a simple dinner. You are so overwhelmed," complained Bernard, wiping his lips before throwing the napkin on the plate. "Jealous nerd," Merry whispered and winked at Bella, making her laugh. "O, dad. You are my favorite all the time. Love your every dish, even my friends are crazy about your dish," Isabella said, and her adored face was hard to ignore for anyone, just as Bernard cheered up with his daughter's few loving words. "Thank you, love," Bernard was happy and together they quickly cleaned the dinner table and dinner plates. After that, Merry chatted with them for a few minutes before wishing them good night and left. Isabella kissed her on the cheek and walk with her to her house. Until she got
★★★★ "Hey, handsome! Can I sit with you?" A woman swayed her hips and reached to a table. The split near her leg almost reached her waist and barely hid her pubic area. There are two men at the table. One was drinking and was wearing a casual shirt with formal pants, while the other one was smoking, leaning on the red couch. The thick grey smoke hid his entire face, leaving only a toned figure of his, as attractive as a devil, which nowadays is a much desirable taste to every woman. "Leave," the man who was drinking ordered the girl with an icy voice, causing the girl to shriek in that spot but remain persistent and didn't move from their table. Although it was awkward as well as insulting to her beauty because she was never ignored by men and this was the first time, that's why she was so stubborn to get attention, especially that man who was smoking profusely. "You are rude, Joseph. We can't talk rudely, especially when she is sexy and beautiful." Another man with a glass of whi
★★★★ Daylight pierced the window blinds, falling in the space next to Bella, though her arm could feel the heat. She twisted her body and reached for her phone. Turning it on, she saw she got up half an hour before the alarm went off. She did not lie down lazily but got up. Her puffed face with scattered hair gave her an adorable look. Getting out of bed, she went to her unwashed clothes, which she had used for a few days and did not wash. Tossed them one by one into a wooden basket and decided that she'd wash them before taking her bath as the washing machine was downstairs and she didn't want noises in this early morning while her father was still sleeping. When she grabbed the last pink color dress which she wore the day before yesterday but she felt a hole as her fingers crossed the fabric. Turned that side toward her, she found it was a big palm size hole made on her dress. However, it was not a simple hole it looked like a burn hole. Bella's complete face wrinkled upon that
★★★ As her whole body rested on the seat, her heart became heavy. "Paoli is dead as she saw in her dream," Isabella thought of the terrible scene she had seen in her dream. Paoli had also jumped out of the window. She ran but could not save her. She was fine because it was her dream, but how has it really happened? Why did Paoli commit suicide?"Bella, we know what you are thinking. We are also shocked, but you know she was a proud girl. I guess losing tongue she can't accept, so she took this step recklessly." Bethany pointed to the possibility, but it didn't solve Bella's inner turmoil."Yes, Bella, you don't have to think a lot about this now. I think we should go to the college first and then after that, we will visit the cemetery," Danny said to Bella, looking at her who was already lost in her thoughts. They knew how emotional Isabella was, that's why they didn't bother her more and drove the car to the college."Dreams can't be real." Different thoughts are quarreling insid
★★★ "Hello, Rachel, how are you?" Bella asked and noticed Rachel was busy with the work. Managing a canteen was a hectic thing, however, no one could tell that they ever found miss Rachel tired or lacking attention but today Isabella felt Rachel was lost in thoughts as the movement of her hand was slow and shaking. "I am very good. How are you, girls?" Rachel said with a bright smile. She took out a paper and pen, and started muttering, "Three coffee with doughnuts and anything else." "Rachel, umm… We don't need anything. Are you okay?" Bella asked when Rachel gave her a forced smile. "Yea… I am alright," Rachel answered. Her voice was muffled because of the emotions she was clinching. She did not want to break down in front of these little girls but didn't have enough strength to hold them inside. "Can we talk, Rachel?" Danny requested, while her eyes selected a corner of the canteen. "Alright. Go ahead. I'll come in a minute," Rachel said to them before turning to her emp
★★★★ "Who made it?" Isabella grumbled and looked around to ask, but everyone was staring at her with so many questions. She had no room to find answers while everyone waited for her explanation. "Miss Isabella, our President asks you to his chamber," a man in a suit informed her, had a gun at his waist, and looked like a bodyguard. His eyes were dark but dangerous. "What does he want from her?" Danny asked, walking ahead towards the man. "Who are you?" The man retorted with a distaste face. He had distinctly hostile when he asked that question as if he was talking with a lowly person. "I'm her friend," said Danny rudely, as she hated the tone the man used on her. "Then get on her shoulders. You'll know the answer," said the man and turned back. His violent steps made him disappear in the blink of an eye. Danny could not control her anger. In a flurry, she raised her middle finger and pointed them at the man's back. "Calm down, Milady. Calm down," Bethany blew air on Danny'
★★★★"Hmm….." Isabella heard a hum and watched the person move away from her. Those purple eyes were inexpressible. Although they were looking at her closely, no emotion could be seen in their eyes. "Get out," Alexander's hoarse voice sounded terrible. She couldn't open her mouth as if the words were stuck in her throat and didn't want to come out.Her hand reached the door hand and made it slide. This time her movements were quicker because it was difficult for her to stand upright in front of the enormous pressure that Alexander was giving. Also, the distant feeling Alexander suddenly gave to Isabella kind of upset her. Her mood also fell and the uneasiness she couldn't shrug away after so many attempts. "Bella, what happened? Did he say something to you?" Bethany asked. Looking at Bella's droopy face, Bethany was worried. "No, there is nothing he can do. He asked me to speak to the principal," Isabella replied. "I already knew that," said Danny, hugging Bella. They are witne
★★★ "Why are you screaming like a madwoman?" A low, deep voice rang near Bella's ear, thumping her poor heart. She didn't bother to open her eyes while her hands reached the collar of the man. All she wanted was to cling to something. She dipped her head in his chest and murmured over it, "I think I'm bleeding. Take me to the hospital." "I love blood. I think you should bleed," the man threw a joke when the person was trembling in fear. "What are you say...?" Isabella raised her head. She wanted to see the man before passing out. But the scene she received stunned her further, and she added, "What are you doing here?""What does everyone come here to do?" The man answered with a flat voice. His eyes looked down at the girl, who was still clinging, clutching his shirt. He let her only because her scent weakened him just like before. He couldn't have the power to order her to go away and not to touch him. And for this sole reason, he was pestering her to sign the contract. He
★★★ 15 days later; Sunday; The happiest song had been sung by birds as the morning had emerged with a fresh zest for life. In preparation for the day, the flower garden had blossomed. Winter began, so it was a little cold but the day was beautiful. A small, lovely woman moved her body on a large queen bed while groans escaped her mouth. She gradually opened her eyes. She noticed the white roof as her blurry vision began to fade. Her gaze was drawn to the light coming in through the bay window. She raised her hand and touched her face in bafflement. She mumbled, “Am I alive?” “How can I let you die?” Alexander's sudden voice jolted Bella's heart from her ribcage. She looked at the door and saw him standing there with a glass of water. “Alex,” she choked her words. Alexander smiled with his teeth open and went up to the bed. His purple eyes gave Bella the same old feeling. She got emotional and happy. Even though she wanted to ask if he was real, Bella could not able to utter any
★★★Alexander was told to retreat by the demons watching over the village. They bowed their heads to the king but were powerless to defy Bael's command."I'd prefer not to kill my army. Thus, move aside. If you obey my commands, you can rest assured that no force will use its might against you," Alexander growled.“My king, forgive our boldness. We have no choice but to oppose you."One of the demons spoke up and flew towards Alexander, who was in his devil form with the crown on his head.Alexander grabbed the demon's head and pulled it apart from his body. The blood splattered on Alex, but he had issued a strong warning.“All of you are my army, so it will be unfortunate if no one survives,” Alexander said as he advanced.Due to their collective strength, the demons all decided to attack the king at once after first weakening him.One of them used wind power stronger than a storm, causing the tree around Alexander to uproot from the soil. Despite its immense power, it was in
★★★Bella wiped her tears from her cheeks and said, "Your doom is near, Lilith.” When she was ready to stand up, she gently placed Noah's head on the ground.“You will get the worst end.” Bella's determined gaze longed to knife Lilith to death for killing Noah. However, Lilith's following sentence quenched Bella's rage.Lilith threw her arms in the air and said, "I hope you wish a good end for your father and dear friends." Bella followed her hand by turning around, and as she did, she caught a glimpse of her father and her friends, who were being detained by the Blackhound villagers.When Bella saw her father and friends lying motionless and blue, her very soul crumbled to dust.She advanced towards them on her unsteady feet."What did you do to him?" Bella screamed as she cupped her father's face.Lilith's giggle set Bella's blood on fire. She spoke with the great threat, turning around to face Lilith, "If a slight harm comes to them, I will bend hell to make you suffer, and
★★★"You're a complete moron. After everything I've done to save you and offer you the opportunity to live, you are determined to betray me," Casey demanded loudly, baring her razor-sharp fangs.She was upset because Noah had lied to her. He extended his hand and convinced her that he was willing to walk with her, but only to deceive her. He had already devised a strategy to save Bella in the back of his mind.Noah sprang up, his eyes blazed. His one hand gently pushed Bella behind him because she meant the world to him. He didn't get a chance to save her from his father, but nothing could stop him from taking Bella from this place right now.“Let her go, Casey. She is our friend,” Noah said, trying to make Casey calm. He would be at ease if Casey became ready to help them then it would be easier to escape. He had to manipulate her.“Yes, our wonderful buddy who is more poisonous than a snake," Casey grumbled, her jaws clenched. Black veins began to appear on her pale skin. As so
★★Although Alexander had additional plans for Bella, her constant worry for her father put an end to everything. He grudgingly complied with her request. Additionally, he would learn what precipitated Bella's abrupt transformation.Alexander wanted to enter Bella's home when they arrived there, but Bella refused, saying that her father would not appreciate it if he found out she had been living with him.Alexander's veins on his forehead went stiff when he realized Bella was being bothered by a dreadful thing that placed her on alert as well as compelled her to cover her mouth. He was helpless to act.He sat in his car for a while, his hands tightly gripping the wheel. Alexander closed his eyes in an attempt to spy on Bella, in particular, to know why she made an excuse to push him away. But his power was immediately returned to him. Although he was conscious that his abilities had been diminished, this was his forte. Why would it misfire on him? Alexander ruminated.“Unless som
★★★In the dream, Bella felt something constrict her breathing by choking her neck. She was unable to draw even a single breath. Immediately, a familiar voice suddenly took her off guard.“Bella, help me.”“Dad, Dad!!” Bella saw her father in blood. He could hardly open his eyes, since his lips were bleeding. Bella’s core trembled fiercely.“Dad,”Bella tried to reach him but was unable to do so. Something kept her feet firmly planted.Suddenly, Lilith appeared out of nowhere to welcome Bella, who came out of the shadows with a threatening smile and blood on the corner of her lips.“What did you do to my father? What he has done to you?” Bella screamed, forcing her feet to move but not to avail.“As of right now, he is OK. Regarding your father’s future, I am unable to make any promises,” Lilith said with a smile on her lips, “Perhaps I’ll shorten his life. She grabbed Bella’s father by the neck and hauled him to his feet while her eyes shone crimson.“Please stop,” Bella yel
★★Bella clenched her teeth and tightened her body. She was close to passing out from the anguish. It was a pleasant pang. Moving away from Alexander the cruel, she wrinkled her brows and vowed to further the pain in the hopes that he would submit.She stepped ahead a little, then turned around with her alluring frame with the hand on the wall as she smirked at the crouched Alex, who still bothering his head on the stunt Bella would pull. He was neither down to submit, but at least he wanted to prepare for the counterattack Bella was thinking because he always found himself at a tight point.“What is it?” Alexander asked as his lips curled into a wicked smile. He stood up, not averting his gaze from her as his shoulder leaned against the cold wall and anticipated what Bella could do.At that exact moment, Bella licked her lower lip, gliding her tongue over it, and took her hand seductively to her muff. Sticking a finger out, she pointed at her core.Alexander’s eyes shaded into r
★★★ “What?” His displeasing reply made its way out of his lips as Alexander frowned, straightening his spine. He was shocked, not going to lie, that he obeyed Bella’s words. It voluntarily made him stop and listen to what she wanted to say. “Yes. I am dead serious about my decision regarding your activity. If you listen to me now, you will get plenty of time to do it. Otherwise, you'll end up washing your hands with mud,” Bella said, caressing his chin with her fingers, the alluring man she could not deny. Nudging him a little, she walked past him into the shower. Without any further remarks that might try his patience, she said, “Please, Alex. I don't want to faint.” Confident with this word, ‘Please' she would not be touched, Bella turned on the shower with her naked back to the devil. The devil growled inside; the eyes evolved into a red hue from purple and he headed toward her who was dripping with water. How could the water be lucky? He snickered. Bella was enjoying the silen
★★ “I have things inside, Bella. Be a good girl and open the door,” Alexander said gently despite being perturbed by the lust for her that was almost in the tip and would be blasted in a moment. “No, I can’t see anything here,” Bella immediately refuted his wish, knowing what he had in his mind would lead to the same thing Bella didn’t want again. “Since you know who I am, there is more way to enter. But then your fear would become reality if you know what I mean,” Alexander threatened in a soft tone with a firm outcome. he right now wanted to join her and he would at any cost. The door continued to knock. “I am impatient, Bella. I expect you to be a wise girl.” Bella stared hard at the door before finally going to open it. She knew what sort of repercussions she’d get if Alex use other ways to enter the bathroom. Wrapping herself with the towel, she opened the door for him, “Where is your thing? Stay here and tell me,” she said, blocking the entrance with her body. Alexander gle
