★★★"You got yourself a girl, Noah," Beth teased with a smile as the girl showed her act, thinking they were her competition."She's Vanessa and...." Noah swallowed the rest of the words when his eyes looked at Isabella and felt pain inside. It wasn't what he had dreamed of."I am his fiancée," said Vanessa as she completed the rest that Noah failed to finish."Wow! Congratulations!!" Beth and Danny spoke together with a smile, and so did Bella. She was listening to them and felt delighted when she heard the news."Congratulation, Noah. We are so happy," said Bella with a genuine smile, as her eyes showed how happy she was for him. It wasn't the sight Noah hoped to see when he was in distress that was given by his father."Thank you so much. You are all invited to our engagement ceremony which will soon be held at White Gauville," replied Vanessa with a graceful attitude as she was impressed by Noah's friend, while at first, she thought they would be mean to her. Especially seeing B
★★★"He is," Bella agreed with her friends and then dialed Alex's number to see if she could at least make a call that would be okay for her. She had not seen him since morning and the feeling was bad.His phone was off, and she could do nothing."You look tense. What happened now?" Beth asked when she looked at Bella's face and then followed her phone. The way she stared at the black screen looked disappointed."Nothing. So, when are we leaving?" Bella asked, putting her phone back in the bag."Of course, after meeting your dad. It will take three hours to reach Demia City. Then we'll rest in our suite and on the night we'll be attending the royal party," added Beth."Glad to hear. Will there be kings and queens there, too? What kind of feast is this?" Bella raised that point again because she didn't know that the king and queen were still there. If they existed, why had she never heard of it?"I do not know exactly. But my father told me there would be royals. And no one will dr
★★★"Holy crap! We are late," Beth shouted and ran out of her car. Isabella and Danny came out after her and saw the lavish hotel and Beth just jogged to a man in the suit. They looked at each other and released a sigh together before proceeding to Beth."Sir Ben! We are extremely sorry. My friend fell ill on the way, so we had to stop at the medical shop." Beth cleared out her point before the man opened his mouth to speak. His eyes scanned Bella and Danny as if he didn't know Beth would bring her friends."We will take no time to get ready, sir Ben," Beth further added when the grumpy man hadn't bothered to speak a word.Sir Ben handed the key and leave their path. Beth was well informed, so the key was enough. Bella once glanced at that man and then followed Beth.The dresses were ready in their suite. All of them were beautiful, Beth chose the royal red, Danny laid her hands on the pink one, and lastly, Isabella gaped at the black one. She wasn't interested a little in going to
★★★ "Can you make your words quick and clear? I don't feel like sitting here any longer." Alexander let out his irritation in quite a rude way."Watch your tongue, Satan. Position can be stripped off," the uncle screamed in rage, tossing the woman away from him. "Sush! You are threatening me with my position. Okay, I'm allowing you to sit on the throne. My Throne!! But do you believe you can sit on that for a second? Do you believe it will recognize you as its king? Uncle," Alexander put a stop to his uncle's mouth with a few words that were enough for him to see the reality."Stop bickering like a child. Uncle, do you have anything in your mind? I hope our king will not say no to your request," said Xavier, shoving his nose into the matter. Though he loved to see Alex in situations, not today. "I, Jehovah, want Satan to marry my youngest daughter, Reagan," said the man, slumping back on the divan. "What a climax!" Xavier whispered to Joseph, who had been sniggering at Jehovah sinc
★★ "Sto-op!" Bella's broken voice plead, trying to move her fist, and she successfully swung her fist across Angela's face which angered her more. Her fingers choked Bella harder, and the knife touched Bella's cheek with its sharp end.Suddenly, a ball of light entered, smashing the wall around behind them. Angela pushed the knife into Bella's cheek and it cut a little when she got kicked by Xavier. Bella fell to the ground. "You bitch, I told you not to touch her," Xavier angrily spoke and came to Angela. His one foot smashed her face when another violent figure entered, storming the things around with soulless eyes. He went to the unconscious woman on the ground and grabbed her close. "She is bleeding," he murmured, placing his hand on her chest to feel the heart. His hand trembled on her back when he felt her slow, thumping heart. His clenched face rotated behind where Xavier had still held the woman on the ground with his foot. "Not now. Jehovah is here. Take Bella to a place.
★★★“Bella, open your eyes,” Alexander mumbled with a deep voice over Bella’s face. It’s been hours since he tried to make her wake after cleaning her dirt and blood.“Bella,” Alexander called and placed his head on her chest to feel the thump of the heart. He didn’t feel how restless he was. His whole body was craving to see her awake. The fear he was feeling was chafing his heart, and it had never happened before.“Shit!!” Alexander rubbed Bella’s hands and feet continually. At that time, Xavier appeared in the room. He had settled his score with Angela and left her alive for Alexander. She was the great warrior demon, but not anymore.“Let me see her,” Xavier uttered while coming toward them.“No. You won’t touch her,” Alexander roared like a mad lion. He turned his face a little to Xavier in rage while he made his point clear that no one was needed before shifting his head again to Bella.“Don’t scream at me, Satan. Call the doctor. Nothing has happened to her,” Xavier shou
★★An uncertain glint passed through Xavier’s eyes while a small flame burnt orange for a second before vanishing it.“I didn’t know that,” Bella mumbled in a soft voice due to the pain in her throat. Also, she was lying about not knowing Angela’s feelings because that woman had shown her disdain toward her from the beginning when Bella and Alex were not involved romantically.“Doesn’t matter. She should have measured her place,” a deep and angry tone muttered near Bella, flaring his nostrils like a dragon that Bella gets to see turning her face to him.“I-I,” whispered Bella. Alex softened his gaze before facing her, and he said, “Do not feel guilty. I dislike disobedience. If she hadn’t met her death today, I would have shown her how to perish over and over. That would be more painful than what she got.”“Humph!” Came a lazy hum from Xavier as Bella noticed Xavier stood from his seat. He turned his face with a smile that didn’t seem like a proper smile.“Take rest, Bella. Ther
★★Isabella held her unusual emotion inside while the quiet room made her think of more terrible things. What if Angela succeeded in killing her and how did Alexander know where Angela had taken her? She felt a tinge of pain in her head from her overthinking that led her hand to clutch her head. At that moment, the door had opened by Alexander, who walked in with a cold face. As soon as Bella’s pained face came to his sight, he rushed to her, “What happened? Any discomfort are you feeling?”“No, a little headache,” Bella responded in a low tone and felt a warm palm on her shoulder, which gave a relaxed sensation, and she leaned back in his arms.“You need food and sleep,” Alexander mumbled with care and a knock heard on the door was called in by Alexander.“Put them on the table,” Alexander ordered the man who had his head down and obeyed just as his master said. Bella looked at the way the man left before grumbling like a child, “I can’t eat. I can’t eat.”“No, you have to. List
★★★ 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
