“Yes, of course, she is so cute.”
Eli grabbed the hand of a beautiful silver-haired woman, Madame Lu. She was talking to a beautiful blond-haired woman dressed elegantly, like a lady from a noble house. Eli looked at the woman that had been taking care of her, the confusion on her bright blue eyes was easy to notice.
Even if the elegant woman spoke with a soft voice and a kind heart. She didn’t know why Madame Lu was making her stay with the lady’s family.
After all, she had been living with the silver-haired woman and was happy to be in her care, even if Madame Lu was a bit cold and indifferent, she took care of her with gentleness.

The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day."I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before tha

Part 2. The darkness of the night was screaming with thunders and lightnings; the clouds threatened to shatter the world with the fatality of the storm. Screams and shouts of help came from everywhere in the world."Help!""It is the rage of a dragon!""Please, stop it!"They knew a mighty dragon had gone mad from the loss of his lover. The broken heart of a dragon was the worst fatality that could even descend upon the vulnerable. The mortal world will die because of the rage, the immortals will suffer and shatter to appease the sadness. A woman with silver hair was atop of a mountain, looking up at the figure of the dragon shouting in pain. "Come," she said, "come to me, I am waiting for you."The mighty dragon in the sky roared and with his red eyes shining and illuminating the darkness, he followed the voice of the woman. The thunders changed into a soft rain and then the sun rose again to alleviate the hearts of the people. No more rai

"Hello, beautiful lady," a man's voice stopped her in her tracks. She felt something strange going on, the past shinning of the Old Madame's house was dimmed. There wasn't a good feeling anymore. Emma turned around and watched as two men approached her. They look up and down at her with a little smirk in their eyes. They seemed like the kind of dirty tugs that liked to pester the people in the town in name of their mafia boss. "What do you want?""Oh... don't be afraid, pretty lady," one of them, tall with a big body but with a terrible face, walked several steps forwards reaching out to her. However, Emma moved back swiftly as if she was not afraid of the stature of that man. The other man snickered, "did you see, bro? She isn't afraid of you...""Well, that is a first," the tall one responded with a little smirk, "come with me pretty lady, we can have some fun.""Don't get near me," Emma said with a fierce stare."Why not?

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees.

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes.

I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market.

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up.

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest
