Urie and Rain got back to work the next day as nothing happened.When Urie woke up, Axel was already nowhere to be found. Lucas said that he had a business to attend to. And that the two of them had an upset stomach. That caused them to faint.Axel had already fired the chefs as Lucas told them. And had them delivered to their own homes afterward.Even after that, Axel had not any contact with him.But what about the kiss?Though it happened only once. It should have some meaning to it, right?”“A penny for your thoughts?” Adam stood in front of him. Holding a cup of hot coffee in one hand. And a slice of chocolate cake on the other.It’s no secret that he is a sucker for both. Adam handed both to him.”I figured you haven’t had your breakfast like every other day.”“Thank you.” he smiled at his thoughtfulness.Rain was busy acting on one of his scenes elsewhere. That Urie didn’t have to feel guilty about accepting Adam's good heart.“I heard you disappeared with Rain the other day. I
In Hell…Lucifer rejoiced at the scene of suffering surrounding him. Souls were ripped apart, burnt, and tortured. And the king of darkness only laughed. And sometimes yawn when he is not amused.A demon came rushing to him bearing news. That only reached the Devil's ear.The monster clenched his fist tightly and banged it on the handrest of its throne.“Where is my son now?”“He is at the holy grounds my lord.” his minion answered almost twisting its own body in fear.“Bring him back to me now. But don’t alarm the heavens. I’ll think of what to do with him later.”Lucifer drew a ball of fire in one of his hands. And threw it on the tortured soul in front. That even his descendant was burnt to ashes. But he didn’t care the least. For him, it was just a worthless follower. A soul that was once human and had committed sins that is beyond forgiveness. It became a demon of its own accord.***Azalel once again slipped his way to the holy ground without being noticed. Eager as he was to se
Azalel was held in a dark cold place. He was not even allowed to take a step out. As though he could, he can barely move a finger even if he tries.“Master,” he heard Lucas’s voice.“Where are you?”“I’m almost there. I shall get you out as soon as I can.”“No, don’t,” they spoke through telepathic means. “I will find a way to get myself out. As for you, find a way to warn the angels of my father’s plan.”“Are you planning to rebel against your father?”“No. I want to get to him first. And kill him. So that, Muriel’s safety will be guaranteed.”“I shall do as you say. I’ll come back after relaying your message. Be strong and wait for me to come back.”He let out an amused laugh.“Are you worried about me, Lucas?”“I’d rather serve a spoiled prince like you than your father. So, do hang in there until I came back.”“Roger that, my friend.” he didn’t hear Lucas make a reply. But he was sure did not expect to hear that word from the prince of darkness himself.***The war of heavens brok
At present times.Axel woke up from a dream that seemed like an eternal nightmare for him.Having lost Muriel was his greatest torment then. And his greatest fear now.Why is loving this angel so hard to do anyway?Even after so many decades. Their star-cross distance hasn't shortened a bit.All because he was the son of the devil."Is it that time again?" Lucas was driving the car. Where he slept the whole time.Axel replied with a shrug."You can't change what happened in the past. But you can do better this time. I will help you with everything."He smiled at Lucas's words.Even if they don't say it. Their brotherhood can surpass their qualities as demons. Loyalty was never a question.""I'll protect you and your angel the best way I can. That's the only way I know how to repay your kindness.""Tell me, since when have I been kind to anyone?" Axel tried humoring his friend."You may not notice. But you have always been kind. It is your father who brings out the dark side in you. An
"Why did you even come back?" Orith lashed at Urie as they walk out of the shop."What do you think you're doing? Why are you being like this?"Axel just stood a few feet away from them. Just so they can have their privacy.Urie still has some questions as to how Axel found where he is."What? You care about us now?""What are you talking about? I always care about our family. It's just that-""You left me there!" Orith shouted. "I begged you not to go. But you ignored me. You just thought of yourself. And left me there to accept everyone's judgment. I was the one carrying all the insults they were throwing at you. Do you know what that feels like?"Urie tried to console his brother. But deep inside him, he was the one hurting the most. Since no one in his family wants to accept him for who he is."Just go. Live your life as you want. And don't come looking for us. We're doing okay without you." Orith said. And turned to walk away from him. Just like his other family member. They didn
"You know better than to play this dangerous game, Azalel." Angel Gabriel nagged at him.As usual, Gabriel came barging into his den uninvited. And it's becoming a habit."Don't you have anything else to do?" Axel said in a sarcastic tone."Do you really take Muriel's life lightly?"He sprang up from his seat instantly. Rage has written all over his eyes."How dare you question my love for Urie? I may not be the best being for him. But I sure can do anything to keep him alive.""And this is your way?" Gabriel fought back. "I made it very clear that his spirit needed to be cleansed. And you're the one who's polluting it.""That's not a very nice way for an angel to talk." Lucas somehow popped out of the dark part of the room."Stop interrupting us. You are not included in this." Gabriel hissed at Lucas."Azalel is my Master and only friend-""And so was I to Muriel!" Gabriel had let his composure slip.And for the first time, Azalel understood why Gabriel was so eager to keep everythin
In the human realm. Demons are actually disguised to look like humans. You won't notice any of them unless you have the gift of sixth sense. Or in other words, you should be a demon or a demon prince yourself to tell who is a demon, And who is human.In an abandoned ally. A man was sent flying to a flat wall by a powerful force.At first glance. He is somewhat normal-looking as a human. But closely, you will see a set of horns and sharp teeth suddenly appearing. As he hissed at the person who kicked him from a meter long.Lucas walked toward the demon in disguise as a human."You are one of Lilibeth's children. Tell me, where is she? And what is she planning to do?"The demon flashed a grin."Why are you suddenly interested? My master did not even bother to look for yours. What makes you care about what she does now?""Because I do." Axel suddenly appeared behind Lucas as if on cue.The demon suddenly cringed and almost wanted to fold his own body into a small piece. He then lowered h
Axel followed Lilibeth's aura up to the roof-top of a building.The latter was obviously expecting his arrival.She wore a flowy dress with floral prints. Her hair like her dress was carefully caressed by the wind. As though to make her look innocent and attractive. One of her unique talents. But that trick doesn't work on him."Tell me, what is it that you intend to do coming here?"Lilibeth turned to him wearing a sweet smile."Wasn't it you who were looking for me?" she said teasing. "And I thought you were actually missing me."He fell completely silent. And Lilibeth can tell that he's not into word games."You must be worried that I might hurt your beloved Muriel. Enough to make sure your henchman knows my every move.""That's not all I'm capable of.""I know, lilibeth interrupted him. Everyone knows. Even the heavens." she rolled her eyeballs. "But you must know, I am more capable than your father. And if I wanted to erase your angel from the face of the earth. That wouldn't be
She stood looking at George. While the latter was busy preparing their breakfast.“I need to tell you something.”George saw how serious she was. And was ready to listen.“Go on.”“I’m not what you think I am. At least, not what you would normally think of me.”“You’re not breaking up with me, are you?”“No. Not that I would want to. Not unless you decide it after hearing what I have to say.”“Which is?”“I’m not a mortal. But a demon. And a queen at that.” she made every word as clear as it could get. So that George could easily grasp the idea.The latter let out a relieved sigh.“I thought you were actually breaking up with me.” And continued to make sandwiches.“Hey, did you just hear what I said?”“Yes, that you’re not human but a devil. And a queen maybe?”“And?”“And what?” George threw back the question.“You don’t believe me, do you?”The latter shrugged upon her frustrated reaction.“I already knew everything even before meeting you that day. But I must admit, it was scarier
Sarah’s day of departure.Everyone was there except Orith. He seemed to be avoiding Sarah ever since he heard the news about her leaving.Although, it was brief. She had always liked how Orith was always there to make her feel better.She’ll definitely miss his popping out of nowhere. Bringing him snacks and making her laugh all the time. With his silly jokes.Even until the call for departure was announced. No Orith was seen anywhere.She had to leave with her shoulders slouched. And the pain that she would never see Orith again for the next few years.He might have someone special the moment she gets back.That thought merely squeezed her heart. Her eyes started to tear up without her knowing.She was given a first-class seat. One of the perks of being Axel Cartiliers younger sister.Though none of that made her happy.A passenger next to her arrived from the toilet. It sat silent and began to sleep. She was still busy looking elsewhere when she turned her glance. Something seemed f
“I’ve been accepted.” Sarah happily told Axel and Lucas. Who she considered being his family and older brothers since. Urie was there as well, as the two almost never left each other's side.“That’s good news,” Axel uttered. “But you really don’t need to study far away from us. We can always get you a high position in the company once you graduate.”“And besides, the company will need someone to run it someday. If we ever decide to get married soon.” Lucas added.Axel and Urie threw a suspicious look at Lucas.“I know, but wouldn’t it be better if I can achieve everything without you guys always backing me up?” it sounded more like a pleading than a question asked.“Fine. But promise that you’d call us every time a problem arises, deal?” said Axel.“Deal.” Sarah went to hug his two demon brothers.As well as her sister-in-law. Urie.***“What’s the problem?” Axel noticed Urie’s silence ever since they left the mansion. They’re on their way to the latter’s house.“I’m just worried abou
Eight months passed by so quickly. But for some, it was longer than a million years combined. The ones that longed for someone they can't be with anymore.Everyone noticed how sad Lucas was since that day Gabriel had to say goodbye."Would you want to hang out together?" Axel felt like he needed to cheer his brother. He had already asked Urie for a boy's night out with Adam and Orith."Shouldn't you be hanging out with your boyfriend?" Lucas had one eyebrow lifted. He knows what Axel is trying to do."How many times do I have to tell you guys, that I'm alright?" he had his voice heightened a bit. Just so the ones behind his office door could hear him clearly.He knew that everyone's worried about them lately. But what makes it worst is when they make it more obvious. By rubbing it in.Other than Lilibeth, who was always content having his son around. He was the only one without a partner. And in those times, he misses Gabriel's angry reaction each and every time."Just, let me be alon
Kristoff stood with a wide grin on his face.There was a terrified look on Muriel's face. As he stared at Axel who shielded him from the attack.He wanted to save Axel first. But the latter had the tables turned. And used its body to cover him."You sure know how to make someone's heart flutter."Kristoff said in a mocking voice.A flush of blood flowed through its mouth. As it held on to the sword that Archangel Michael had thrust on him."No wonder, Urie had chosen you over anyone."It continued to cough in a weakened manner."He deserves to be with someone who can protect him even with his life. "Axel and Muriel had their eyes fixed on each other. Remembering how it all came to be. And how it would all end.With Muriel back to his old duties as an archangel. And Axel is with the one he chooses to love. Which was Urie.Kristoff's body crashed down the floor lifeless. Everything else faded along with it.They then heard a cry of defeat coming from Lucifer. Who had all his follower's
With all the chaos going on. Lucifer and the other princes of hell except Azalel were at battle with the angels. While Orith used Asmon’s powers to help Lilibeth and the others to stop the humans from destroying the earth.It was until the battle of heaven reached earth. That Asmon had to literally unseal himself to help stop the other fallen angels.It was a fight that marked the start of a new alliance.***“Why do you love Azalel so much? When he can’t even tell the one he loves from before and now?” Kristoff produced an image of Muriel and Axel from way back.If Urie had seen this, he might have fallen for Kristoff’s trap. Muriel thought to himself.But for him, it was just a memory of a beautiful past he had shared with the young Azalel. The one he thought, would make a better ruler than Lucifer.“Can’t you see? He doesn’t really love you. It was the angel Muriel then, and even now.” Kristoff tried swaying him. As he thought of him as Urie. “You’re just a replacement for somethin
Urie found himself inside a huge palace room. No one was around except the eerie silence.He roamed every part to look for his family.That’s when he ended up on the back balcony of the highest floor.She saw a very disturbing scene.An army of people stood in front of the palace grounds unmoving. They were all under the spell of hypnosis.In that group, Urie saw his parents and elder sister standing in the middle. There were about thousands of people there.“Mom, Dad, Elly,” he refrained himself from shouting.Who knows what these people will do if they get disturbed for some reason.“Did you like what I’ve prepared for our wedding?” he jumped at the sound of Kristoff’s voice from his back. “Everyone’s invited, except your friends and lover. I hope you don’t mind.” it had that wicked grin on its handsome face.“You’ll have to kill me first before you can get me to marry you.”“Oh no, I wouldn’t do to that to you.”Kristoff took a few steps closer. “But if you beg me. I might consider
Later on, Sarah and Orith joined them outside.Axel’s eyes roamed around for Adam and Urie.“Where’s Urie?”“I’m here.” he turned around to find Urie smiling at him the way he used to.He went up to hug the latter. “I’m glad you’re okay.”“I’m fine. You don’t need to worry.”“Where’s Adam?” he asked Rain as soon as he separated himself from Urie.“He’s still weak from the hypnosis. I left him resting upstairs.”“I see,”Why does he feel like there is something off in that situation?“We need to plan on how to stop the chaos outside. If these continue. Lucifer and the anti-christ will definitely get their way.”Lucas interrupted his thinking.“Why don’t you stay here for a while?” he said turning his glance on Urie. “I don’t want you to end up the same way again.”“No, I want to come.”Urie insisted. “I may be of help in stopping him. I’m the one he wants.”“The more you need to stay here. You’re not safe with him around.”“I want to be sure that my family is safe. Please, just let me co
“You need to see this.” Rain hurried to bring Urie in front of the tv screen.Right then, a live broadcast is being held. It’s an interview about a known veterinarian at a very young age. And has the looks that go head to head with the famous billionaire. Azalel Cartillier.“It’s Kristoff,” he uttered.They were having a discussion at his house along with everyone. But the main purpose of it was to talk about how to defeat the antichrist. And prevent the end times. As they say.“What is he planning to do now?” it had its eyebrows drawn in one line.“I don’t really feel good about this.” Rain uttered.The others were having a fine talk. All headed to the living room. Where the three of them were.“Is that-?” Orith tried to say the name. But Sarah had already shushed him.They all came to listen to the interview. While trying to figure out. What the anti-christ is up to.“Say, Mr.North star, ‘Kristoff has known the last name.’ do you have someone in your heart now? A lover perhaps?”Kri
