Falling for the Demon Prince Chapter 18
Clara was satisfied with how things were coming together. They had already come across a lot of useful information that would discredit Beryl’s business reputation. “That’s a good plan,” Arthur agreed. “Let’s see what else we can dig up. We know who her investors are so it will be easy to make sure the right people see this information.” Clara nodded and continued going through the emails on the server. Beryl was sounding increasingly desperate for money in her recent emails to her employees. “I’ve found some records that look like what we need,” Arthur announced. “There’s a list of incoming money and the sender for some of the payments is listed as ‘unknown’. These dates are from very early on, this has to be the money that she took from your grandfather. She took the money out in small amounts over several weeks.” “Is there any chance you can get access to the actual bank accounts to get a full record of transactions?” she asked. “I’ll try,” he said. “There’s chance I mig

“I think we’re more compatible than we were both expecting,” Clara said. “We’re getting on well now compared to when we first met.” “Do you want us to be anything more than teammates?” the demon asked. Clara jumped to the assumption that he was talking about being friends with her. That was the next step after being teammates after all. “I can see us being friends,” she said. “Arthur and I are friends now. He’s nicer than you so it didn’t take long.” Caiden pouted and pinched her side. “He has an unfair advantage by existing in the human world where I don’t. I would be very close to you if I actually had a human body here.” Clara could see his point. Caiden was restricted to only being able to interact with her properly when no one else was around.“You might become my best friend before Arthur does,” she replied. “I might not see him again after we finish school.” “You will see him again after that,” Caiden said absentmindedly. Clara narrowed her eyes. Caiden had a tendency t

Caiden watched Clara and Arthur interact with a focused gaze. He could only see Arthur’s one-sided feelings of love. Clara wasn’t showing any signs of romantic attraction towards the hacker. The two of them had met up to discuss their next steps with the revenge plan and Caiden had come along to make sure things were progressing properly. Or rather, that was what he had told Clara. He had really come to observe her interactions with Arthur. He had stopped coming to their meetings after the first two as Clara didn’t need him to prompt her anymore and he had a tendency to show his jealous streak when he saw Arthur. Caiden knew he could be satisfied that Clara wasn’t romantically interested in Arthur. She had confirmed that she wasn’t interested in love the night before and he had already noticed the signs. The future he kept seeing was troubling him. Whenever he checked the end of Clara’s future, it always ended with them kissing and his tears. He could only assume that Clara only

James looked at her with a steady gaze. Clara kept eye contact with him so he knew that she was being completely serious. “I see you’ve come here with a lot of conviction,” he said after a moment. “I will respect that and will not interrupt you.” Clara nodded and started off her speech. “Beryl is coming here now to ask you to save her failing company.” James looked sceptical and Clara kept going. She wasn’t going to stop for anything. “There’s a number of reasons to not give her money. Firstly, she’s been cheating on you the entire time.” Clara opened the folder on the table and took out the photos from the hotel and printouts of Beryl’s texts to her real boyfriend. Clara had selected the texts that were the best evidence of their relationship and showed Beryl’s true reasons for being involved with James. James looked over the photos without much expression on his face. Clara didn’t know what direction his thoughts were going in. If he suspected the evidence was photoshopped

Beryl’s face turned pale and Clara knew she was seeing the end of the confident façade. “I haven’t committed any crimes; you’re talking absolute nonsense. Have you even been to any of your counselling sessions?” “What a bitch,” Caiden commented. “Don’t let it get to you. You’re here to watch the show.” James folded his arms. “Don’t talk to my granddaughter like that. She isn’t talking nonsense. In fact, she is the only level headed person here.” Beryl stamped her high heel into the floor of the hallway. Clara didn’t flinch and neither did James. “What happened yesterday? You weren’t treating me like this in the morning.” “I was just a rich idiot yesterday morning,” James said. “I was enlightened later in the day. Did you enjoy stringing me along the entire time? I know you had a boyfriend whilst you were dating me. You went to the Savoy with him.” Clara watched him hold out the photos she had provided him. Beryl’s hands started to shake uncontrollably. “It’s a lie, th

Clara was proud of being able to finally do something against a bully. She now felt the benefit of being in a new body. She would never have been able to achieve a victory like this in her old body. Imagining the four bullies being dragged off by the police instead of Beryl caused her to smile widely. She had achieved revenge against one person. She also felt more at peace with occupying Clarissa’s body now she had got rid of the tyrant who had made Clarissa’s life hell. “I’m glad to hear that you are truly satisfied with your revenge,” Caiden said and sat down next to her. “You can relax now. You won’t have any adversaries for a while.” Clara knew he wouldn’t give her any more details about the future. He was always stingy about things like that and she understood his reasoning, but that didn’t mean she had to like it. She thought about all the school work that had piled up whilst she had been obsessing over her revenge against Beryl and winced. Getting rid of Beryl didn't m

Clara was glad Caiden wasn’t with her. He had warned her about Arthur’s feelings for her before. Arthur’s romantic feelings towards her hadn’t been hard to notice. She had just elected to not comment on them to avoid making things tense between them. Now he had put his feelings out into the open. She knew she had to honour his confession with an honest reply. Did she like him as more than a friend? Arthur had never made her heart flutter. She really couldn’t muster any feelings of love towards him. He was good looking and very kind to her, but she didn’t love him. “Arthur,” she said and paused. “I don’t feel the same way as you.” The hacker smiled gently and she saw a flicker of disappointment pass over his face. She felt a stab of guilt that she couldn’t make him happy by returning his feelings. “I know you don’t,” he replied. “You’re easy to read. You don’t show any signs of love for anyone. I knew you don’t feel the same way. I just wanted to let my feelings out now

University was more difficult than she had predicted. Revenge was now the least of her problems. It turned out that getting accepted into one of England’s most prestigious universities was the easy part. She had to socialise, keep up with the university work and traditions. Clara stepped onto the grass outside the main university building intending to take a shortcut to her next lecture and every student in the vicinity turned to stare at her. She could tell from the look on their faces that she had done something wrong. “No walking on the grass,” someone called out. "It's a tradition." Clara hastily walked back onto the path and rushed to her next lecture with a red face. “How was I supposed to know that I wasn’t supposed to step onto the grass in that area?” she complained quietly to Caiden. “There was a nice clear sign telling you not to,” Caiden reminded her. Clara pulled a face. There were so many traps to fall into when going to a very old university that was full of

“I’m getting married!” Clara announced happily. She smiled over her coffee and Arthur watched her with a bemused look on his face. "When is the wedding?" he asked. “Next month,” Clara told him. “I was planning to invite you. We’ve only just decided on the date so there’s no invitations to give out yet.” “Do you not have wedding planner then?” the hacker questioned. “Invitations are normally sent out much sooner.” “I don’t want a big wedding,” Clara replied. “James was fine with it and just asked that I invite him.” She was a little surprised that her grandfather had agreed with her desire to have a very small wedding. They both enjoyed high positions in society and people like them normally had grand weddings with a long guest list and a high budget. “I shall consider an invite as a great honour then,” Arthur quipped. “How many guests are invited?” “I’m inviting 12 people,” Clara said. “Caiden has invited a couple of friends. He doesn’t have any relations to invite.” “Of cour

Their first month of dating passed by quickly. They soon fell into a routine of meeting after work and going on dates. Clara was blissfully happy, but she knew they needed to discuss their future together. Caiden was only living temporarily in the UK after all. She chose to ask after they had finished eating Caiden’s latest attempt at a home cooked romantic meal. His cooking skills were unique to say the least. “Are you going to stay here in London when your job here is finished?” she asked. “Where would you like to live?” he questioned. “Here or in a different country? We have lots of options.” Clara thought about the matter seriously. She had grown up in the US and had been unexpectedly pulled into a different country. She did prefer living in the UK, but there were other countries to try as well. “We can move around,” Clara said. “I think we should make this our main country and travel to other places. That is if you want to. This is a decision we should make as a couple.” Ca

Clara kept a careful watch on the office building opposite so she wouldn’t miss seeing Caiden leave when his work day had finished. She had already missed seeing him before, she wasn’t going to do it again. Fortunately, he was one of the first people out of the building and Clara immediately began to pack up everything she had brought with her. Caiden entered the coffeeshop and beamed when he saw her waiting by the door. “Excellent. You’re ready to leave on our date,” he said and held his hand out to her. “Can we take a diversion first?” she requested. It was only fair to let Arthur know that she had found Caiden, but she had decided a text wouldn’t suffice and it was better to let them meet in person. “Will it take long?” “I want to introduce you to someone,” she explained. “Arthur has been helping me look for you and I think he would like to see the success of our search.” Caiden looked thoughtful and then he nodded. “I would like to meet him. He has provided assista

When Clara finally looked up from her phone and glanced back at the door, the person she had been waiting for had already left. She had missed a lot in the two minutes her attention had been diverted.A member of staff approached her table with a cup of coffee in her hand. Clara looked around in confusion. “I didn’t order anything,” she said. Clara was aware that she was the strangest customer in the coffeeshop and the staff were probably wondering when she was going to leave. She had been the first customer of the day and had only ordered two drinks in the past three hours. “One of our regulars came in a couple of minutes ago to pick up his online order. He saw you looking tired and bought an expresso for you,” the staff member explained with a smile. “He’s a nice person.” Clara blinked in surprise. She had never noticed any of the customers paying attention to her. The incident must have occurred when she had been occupied with her phone. She checked the name tag on the girl’s

The weeks quickly turned into months and soon an entire year had passed. Clara had taken a position at St. Clair that had enabled her to travel around the world just so she would have better chance of finding Caiden. She returned to the family mansion on the anniversary of her return from the demon realm after an unsuccessful trip to New York. Her actual work had gone well, she just hadn’t found any signs of Caiden in the city. There hadn’t been any traces of Caiden in any of the 10 countries she had travelled to over the past year. He didn’t have any presence on the internet either and Clara didn’t have any idea of how she could improve her search methods. Clara collapsed onto her bed and closed her eyes. She was physically and emotionally exhausted from her search. Despite everything, she wasn’t going to give up. She would sleep for a while and then she would look at other highly populated places to visit. “Clara Kennedy.” Clara’s eyes opened immediately at the sound of
Falling for the Demon Prince Chapter 102
Clara landed on the floor of her bedroom alone and fully aware of the gravity of the situation. She didn’t have Caiden at her side anymore. She needed to find him for that to happen. Clara stood up and realised that her legs were shaking. She had been feeling intimidated by the demon king and had refused to let him know. Now her nerves and lack of sleep had got to her. She took a deep breath to calm down. She had vowed that she would be able to find Caiden and she needed to start working on that.One person came to mind immediately. Arthur would be able to help her. She took her phone out of her pocket and called him. “...Hello?” Arthur asked cautiously when he picked up the call. Clara realised he had assumed that the phone call was someone else using her phone to inform him of her death. “It’s me, Clara,” she told him immediately. “Things have changed. Can we meet up? I have a lot to tell you.” “Of course,” he said. “I think we'll need to go somewhere that allows for private c
Falling for the Demon Prince Chapter 101
Caiden was lost for words as he watched the events that he had foreseen so many times play out in front of him. It was no longer a vision of the future; it was happening in reality. It was finally the end of Clara’s life. Her soul floated in front of him as her eyes slowly closed. Caiden made his decision in that moment. He grabbed hold of Clara’s soul with his hands and pushed it back into her. Despite being very light, her soul wouldn’t move until he exerted all of his power. Clara’s eyes snapped open when her soul returned to her. “...What’s going on?” she asked breathlessly. “I can’t take your soul,” Caiden admitted. “I want you to keep it.” He had no real idea what was going to happen now. The contract had not been fulfilled properly. He had completed his part of the contract and he had stopped Clara from fulfilling her part. There was no precedent to follow here. He was the first demon to refuse a soul. “What’s going to happen to both of us?” Clara questioned weakl

Clara knew that her grandfather was confused to hear her sentimental words. They rarely talked about their personal feelings. “I haven’t been the best grandfather,” James replied with a deep frown. “I brought Beryl here to be your mother figure as I had felt that it would prevent you from becoming like my daughter. It turned out to be the worst decision I have ever made.” Clara could not deny that James’ decision to date Beryl and bring her into the family had been lethal for Clarissa. She decided to focus on something else. “Thank you for rescuing me when I was a baby,” she said. “I’m sure Clara would also thank you for looking for her.” “You don’t need to thank me for that,” James replied. “I would also like to thank you for taking me in instead of leaving me to the care system,” Clara continued. She didn’t know much about the British care system, but it was likely similar to the American one she had lived through. She had been lucky to be adopted by a decent set of foster pa

“It was a good ride,” Arthur said with a wink. “You kept me guessing for so many years. I’m so pleased to finally know what was going on the entire time.” Clara relaxed. The hardest part was over now. “Is everything over now?” he asked a moment later. “You’ve brought all of your targets down apart from Xavier King.” “It is,” she confirmed. Arthur nodded and then he looked deep in thought. He coughed awkwardly before speaking again. “Where did Clarissa go if you are in her body?” he questioned. Clara had been expecting this question. Arthur was the only person who had a connection to Clarissa and knew that she was using her body. It would have been odd if he didn’t ask where Clarissa had gone. “...She died when she committed suicide four years ago,” she explained. “Her body was alive for a short time and I was put into it. I’m sorry to tell that she died all that time ago.” Arthur frowned and looked away. “I see... That’s sad,” he said. “It’s odd to hear that Clariss
