Once Elijah was all comfy inside the room provided by the ‘greatest’ lord, she laid on her back, lucid and high with morphine. The drug was quite addictive although her body could only accept half of it and forcibly vomited out of her system against her will.
She didn’t care. As long as her injury wasn’t as painful as before, at least it did something to her body. Blankly, she stared at the white ceiling above. The maids around her were busy treating and patching up her wound for the second time.
“How are you feeling?” The loyal maid - which actually Amino’s eyes - smiled purely at her.
Hazily, Elijah giggled like she was high and swung her hand in dismissal. “Get out. I have a visit
“I don’t want to.”“You have to,” Samuel begged Shadow.“My Lord, we need you.” Hashim was kneeling together with Mina and Naomi who already nodded frantically.“I don’t want it.” Shadow folded her arms and pouted away.“Why? Why are you against this?” Samuel tried to understand Shadow’s thinking. His eyes locked fiercely on Shadow.“It's… it’s tortuous and annoying. Also, I have to wear a dress. I have nothing against any kind of dress but it’s hella annoying to be wearing one.”The noise continued to echo inside the chamber. Keira was laughing her ass off while wavi
“What are you doing?” The rough husky voice questioned the friend that was stagnant in his seat with eyes glued on the book that was opened.That individual didn’t even attempt to acknowledge the voice, their eyes blinked very cautiously, slowly. The air around was icy. The cold gaze was the cherry on top. One of the papers inside the book was badly crumpled due to excessive anger.“Malikul Afdal!” Called that voice.Malikul didn’t bother to look up or look at his friend. “What?” His sharp voice answered his friend, still.“Your eyes are making me uncomfortable.”“Deal with it.”“Hah~, Malikul&hell
Malikul opened the book that was still in the process of writing. His eyes focused on Shadow’s name and also her interaction with all the novel characters.“Does everyone know that they are just in a novel?”“They are, indeed.”“You’re telling me that they are voluntarily entering this novel for the sake of Shadow?”“You wish,” Wan scowled, adjusting his butt on the chair. “I have paid them a big sum on top of years of benefits.”“And some of them are coming from The Unknown?” He asked, eyeing Wan meaningfully.
Malikul clenched his chest, the heart was beating loudly with the speed of a marathon runner. His sweat trickled down his forehead and cheeks while he bent forward. He opened his mouth before gasping loudly.“Malikul?” Wan’s face fell into panic.Malikul just raised his unoccupied hand, while wheezing in and out. “I… will be okay.” He squeezed his eyelids tight.He would become weak like this whenever he recalled that memory. The anguish, the anger, the betrayal, the sadness, the shock, and the guilt were mixing together. He was close to her. He had been warned.Yet, he ignored it. He thought she was playing.But, she wasn’t.
“Huwaaaa~” Samuel’s lips cracked open with the admiral's eyes, putting down his camera lens in awe.Slowly, he looked at her up and down, taking in the beautiful sight that was in front of him. He clutched the camera in his hands and clicked it mindlessly. Shadow’s attire was so mindblowing that he had forgotten about the existence of the camera.Shadow, who was wearing the midnight blue-ish dress sewn with stars and moon on the dress, shone her beauty at once.Shadow normally had two charms. Masculine and cute. However, the dress captured the yet exact entirely different charm. A dangerous charm. With bareback, the fabric at the back was turning grim and menacing.She was like a coin. Each side revealed her different charm. The front was cute and
Shadow entered the ballroom with a grumpy expression written all over her face. The cute smile planted beautifully on her face paired with a menacing aura surrounded her. With fairy-like hair, she strode confidently while being escorted by both Sabrina and Samuel.Due to her striking face and also her reputation - well, mostly it was about the reputation - she drew in unwanted pry eyes. On her right was the archangel and on her left was the fire user. It was enough to put all of them in their own lane.The ballroom that was already filled with soft music hastily halted the moment she stepped inside it with eyes latched on them like a bunch of leeches.“Announcement!” One of the guards took up his courage and gathered everyone’s attention. “Greeting, the arrival of Overlord Shadow, the Dark Ki
In her third song, her entire body screamed in anticipation as soon as she felt the stink gaze of the other person on the highest platform. Her back was burned with a fit of strong jealousy.Her scars reacted sensitively, and the skin and the muscle twitched. Her partner was still oblivious to the sudden cold atmosphere emitted by Amino who was already descending from the second level.A small pleasure resided inside her. She was only dancing with others just to spite him. Her jealousy was the living proof that she was successful. Then, she deliberately made eye contact with him briefly and smirked, playfully so. Yet again, she looked back again to her dance partner and leaned closer.The dance partner, who coincidentally was a foreign minister that she didn’t care for, huffed excitedly.
“Huh~ huh~” Elijah stepped into the silence, escaping from the suffocating room.Tap! Tap! Tap!Yet, another set of clicking shoes echoed right behind her, leisurely so.She felt goosebumps all over her body almost immediately. The leisure steps, the humming song right behind was a red flag for she knew. She didn’t have to turn around to know who was behind her.She started to panic.“Elijah dear…” The calm voice called her name, full of affection and sarcasm.Elijah hastened her walk, refusing to react.“Dear… my love…”S
