KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ My mind is wandering again, lost in thought. It has been over a week since Gadreel started bothering me, and I have no idea what he wants from me. I know it's also my fault why he keeps wanting to talk to me because I repeatedly avoid and evade him. But isn't that reason enough for him to stop pestering me? I understand that he didn't mean for this to happen, and besides, I am also the one who's unpredictable, causing us to be out of balance. So why does he still not leave me alone? As a result, rumors and other ideas are circulating among our co-teachers. Just the other day, Aimee even asked me if something had happened between Gadreel and me that night, leading Gadreel to chase after me. "Ugh, what should I do? I'm still not used to dealing with men, so how should I talk to him intimately?" I asked Eligor, whom I was currently speaking to on the cell phone. "You're talking to me now, aren't you? Don't I count as a man in your eyes? I know I'm incredibly han
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ "Hey, why the long face?" I glanced at Aimee, who had just finished teaching her second class. We were the only ones in the faculty room, and both recently returned from our respective duties. "I have a problem," I replied as she unpacked her belongings onto the desk. She sat down beside me and whispered, "What is it?" "Don't laugh at me," I warned her, and she nodded, pretending to zip her lips shut. Aimee was my close friend. We had been classmates since high school and even pursued the same course at university. We were inseparable, even in our professional lives. It was only her boyfriend, Charles, who kept us apart. "Are you sure? If you laugh, I'll pinch you," I said, and she moved closer, leaning in to listen. "I promise I won't laugh," she assured me. I took a deep breath and confided in her. "I feel like my body is craving sex. I've been having wet dreams lately," I shared, and her face clearly showed her surprise at my revelation. However, as promis
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ "Eligor!" I quickly called out to Eli when I saw him walking outside a supermarket, carrying a lot of things and seemingly without a car. I decided to call him and give him a ride home. As I rolled down the window of my car, he immediately smiled. I could clearly see the joy on his face because he would get a free ride home. "Did you fall from heaven? Hahaha, perfect timing. I have so many things to carry," he replied, and I opened the trunk of my car for him. "Just put everything inside, and I'll take you home," I replied, and he swiftly got inside my car. As he sat next to me in the front seat, I couldn't help but ponder. It was strange how comfortable I felt around this guy. It was a far from the nervousness I felt when I was with Gadreel. "Wow, being driven by Katelyn Hernandez, the elusive woman, is such a treat," he joked, and I chuckled before focusing back on driving. "Tell me your address; I don't know your place, silly," I complained as he meddled wi
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ "What are you doing here?" How did he manage to enter my dream? Did I cause this, or is this really his true identity? "Hahaha, it's written all over your face that you're completely shocked. But I know you're more excited because the man you fantasize about is right in front of you," he replied, and I glanced at his hand, feeling the moisture from my excitement in the underwear I was wearing. "You're soaking wet. I know there will be more thrill if we do this," he said. My body trembled as he touched my intimate area. Using his long, slender fingers, he explored my desires. The fabric between his fingers and my intimate parts heightened my sensitivity, and with every stroke, I felt the intense heat building between us. "I know you have feelings for me, Katelyn," he replied, using Gadreel's voice and face. I shook my head, unable to believe it. My heart was pounding so loudly because I couldn't imagine Gadreel being above me. I felt a mixture of shame, nervou
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ "Seriously? I just found out now. I don't follow him on I*******m or F******k anyway," Aimee said as we sat at the back of the classroom. We had a meeting this afternoon, and while waiting for others to arrive, we discussed the news about John. "They created a group chat for our batch's alumni celebration, and someone mentioned that John passed away just six days ago," I replied to her. Aimee rolled her eyes and said, "He deserved it." "You're crazy. The guy is dead," I said, shaking my head while she sat cross-legged. "So what? He died without even apologizing to you or the other girls he fooled around with back then. I can't forget your tears in the dorm that time," she recounted. I was glad that Aimee was angry on my behalf, but I couldn't shake off the news. Especially since John's death coincided with the events and day I mentioned to Gadreel, the guy I've been dreaming about. "So, are you going to the celebration?" she asked, and I shook my head. "What wi
GADREEL'S POV♡♡♡"You have such a thick face! What have you been up to? When did you start fooling me!?" What is the matter with this woman? Did she think I was her boyfriend? Nothing in the conversation suggests she will say yes, because I did not flirt with her or court her, and I have no intention of doing so. "Who is the woman you're with? If you don't answer me, we'd better break up!" When she looked at me, I noticed tears welling up in her eyes.I smiled because this is exactly what I look for in a woman like her. "That's fine with me; go on. I don't mind," I replied while turning away from her. I checked my watch and realized it was still early before my next class began."Gadreel! Are we really going to end this way? Will you at least explain something to me?" I simply shook my head when I looked at her again. "Nope," I replied quickly and continued my walk to the parking lot.I kept hearing her call my name. It's amusing because who is the cause of this breakup? I still w
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ What should I do? Should I let him sleep here or send him home? Oh, how unlucky I am. This was supposed to be the perfect date I had been hoping for, but suddenly it started raining. Not just rain. It looks like a storm is coming tomorrow. The rain was pouring heavily tonight, but fortunately, we managed to get home quickly. "I don't usually watch the news. That's why our dinner date got messed up," I whispered as I leaned back and held the TV remote. I just watched the news and turned up the volume to drown out the sound of the shower. I couldn't help but imagine all sorts of things, especially since Gadreel is here in my house, and I know he's taking a shower in my bathroom, completely naked. I closed my eyes tightly and pinched myself. It's that guy's fault for appearing in my dream! My mind has become dirty, and I can't think of anything else but sex! It's frustrating. I want to get rid of this from my system. I really don't know if it's my subconscious cr
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ Why do I feel so heavy? It's like there's something weighing down my thighs and waist. I opened my eyes and saw the white ceiling in my room. I hadn't realized it was already morning, and I needed to get up and go to work. I was about to stand up when I felt a heavy object on my leg. Upon glancing at it, I saw Eligor's thigh wide open and fast asleep. I furrowed my brow and swiftly slapped his thigh. "Ouch!" He exclaimed loudly, and I quickly moved away from him. "Get up already, and you still have work! You need to clean up your apartment!" I yelled at him, and he just scratched his head while yawning. "I filed for a leave today because I'm moving out. I have a lot to do. Help me, Kate," he complained. I didn't pay attention to him. Instead, I opened the window in the room and headed to the bathroom. "Hurry up and leave my apartment. I still have to clean up," I complained to him, and I saw him finally get up, rubbing his stomach, revealing his attractive b
♡♡♡They say that when you truly love someone, you'll choose to listen to your own heart and not be swayed by what others say. Many have become foolish, hurting themselves by turning a blind eye to the love they feel, while others are blissful for taking the risk and investing in that special person.Indeed, you can never find answers unless you seek them out. The outcome will forever remain a mystery unless you take the plunge, and the size of the reward will remain unknown unless you dare to bet or take a chance.Life demands that you take risks.You must step out of your comfort zone and find answers using your own feet.Don't let others dictate or impose their desires upon your life. Yes, seeking advice from others isn't necessarily wrong, but you should discern whether it genuinely benefits you or traps you in your limitations.I, too, once chose to listen to my parents even when I knew nothing about what was happening or could happen. I silenced the voice of my heart because tha
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡The climate has become extremely chilly, and as a result, the number of visitors to Brentwood is steadily increasing, all seeking to experience the breathtaking beauty of this place during the winter season.Amidst this cold weather, more and more people are flocking to our cafe. I must say that my parents made a wise decision to venture into this business. The weather is the perfect reason for them to indulge in our warm coffee and delicious food, all lovingly prepared by Mom.It has been five months since we opened this cafe, and the three of us have been quite busy, gradually recouping the investment we initially put in. Mom and Dad purchased this location, and our home is situated above the cafe. I often find myself sleeping here, but now I own our old house, which I sometimes retreat to.On weekdays, I also conduct online classes for my students, and in the afternoons, I head to the cafe to lend a hand. The holiday season is upon us, and with most people off wor
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡The strong and refreshing breeze carried the dry leaves, a sign that autumn was approaching once again. I found myself sitting on the bench where Eligor and I used to have lunch, where we chatted and often teased each other.I often find myself seated in the very spot where he once sat, using it as my refuge while I while away the hours with nothing but thoughts of him on my mind. Gazing at the overcast sky above, I am irresistibly drawn to wonder, "How is he doing now?"Today marked the last day of my teaching career at this school; I had decided to take a break and establish a small café back in our hometown of Brentwood. It had been two years since Mom was discharged from the mental facility, and together with Dad, we made the decision to build the café near a tourist spot, so we could be a close-knit family and take better care of Mom.With my family whole and my parents' relationship restored, I couldn't help but reflect on the tremendous changes in my life. I f
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡"I never expected you'd really come back. I thought you were trapped there." Hmmm... whose voice was that?"I also didn't know that Kate would come to rescue me from that curse. I can't remember what happened, and I have no recollection." That voice must be Eligor's. Wait, where am I?I slowly opened my eyes and saw Eligor and Loraine talking in the living room. The bedroom door was open, and it seemed like we were back in the normal world.I tried to sit up, but suddenly, I felt intense pain all over my body. My legs were trembling with agony, and I couldn't even manage to sit."Kate?" Eligor glanced towards me, and he immediately came over, supporting me and propping me up against the headboard of the bed. Concern was evident on his face, and I couldn't help but break into tears, embracing him tightly."Thank goodness! Thank you for being here!" I hugged him tightly, afraid that if I let go, he might disappear again like a vision vanishing from my sight."Hush, don
KATELYN'S POV ♡♡♡ The sky was wrapped in dark clouds, and the once vibrant garden now exuded a sense of eerie unease. The plants around had withered, rotted, and lost their colors. The surroundings were chilling, and it felt as if it could rain anytime. The garden was completely dark since all the light posts were dead. Nevertheless, I pressed on, mustering the courage to step into the garden. As I walked, the distant growls and screams grew louder, emanating from the end of the garden, where Eligor and I often hung out together, sharing lunches. "E-Eligor?" I called out, even though my voice trembled with fear. I couldn't hide the fact that I was afraid to see him. I'll admit I wasn't ready to witness his current form, but I was prepared to accept him no matter what. I tried to say his name, but my mouth went dry as I caught sight of a large shadow just a few feet away. The only source of light was a red light, and within that light, I saw the image of a man with one wing and
ELIGOR'S POV ♡♡♡ How did I meet her? How did I find myself in this situation, feeling trapped with no way out? As far as I can recall, it was just an ordinary night for me, doing my job as an incubus, needing to feed by engaging in intimate encounters with mortals in their dreams. I used to visit women's dreams, seeking out new victims. But I didn't know how I ended up in your dream. You were just nine years old when I first encountered you, drawn into your dream by another incubus who always kept an eye on you. I wondered why they kept visiting a young girl like you, who only played in her dreams. And that's when I learned about what your parents did and the reason they were there in your dream. At first, I didn't care about them or what they wanted for a young girl like you. But as I spent more time inside your dreams, I found myself getting closer to you. You seemed to have me under some sort of spell, and my curiosity about who you were grew stronger. Your imagination was
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡"So, what you're saying is that you just came back from your vacation trip to Brentwood, and on the spur of the moment, you decided to visit your home. You saw Brother Anthon there, and then you all went to Central City to see Katherina. And now you're heading home right away because... you need to talk to your boyfriend?" Aunt Kaylie repeated, looking at the road ahead while gripping the steering wheel."Correction, he's actually my ex now because we broke up," I explained with a sigh. Now that I know more details about what happened to my mom, I am certain that ELigor had nothing to do with it. I just want to talk to him to clear everything up.And, of course, to ask for his forgiveness because I never wanted to hurt him."So, you're getting back together?" Aunt Kaylie asked, and I nodded. Right now, there's nothing else I want to do but embrace Eligor and tell him how much I love him."Tsk, what's the name of this man, huh? Introduce him to us sometimes," Aunt Kay
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡With a firm grip, my Dad held the sunflower he had bought for my Mom. Aunt Kaylie glanced at it, and I knew she also noticed that Dad was always the one bringing flowers for Mom."What are you two thinking? And how did you even meet? Didn't I tell you, brother Anthon, that you can't see my sister and niece yet? How did you find Katelyn?" Aunt Kaylie bombarded my Dad with questions, and it was evident from my father's face that he didn't want to argue with Aunt Kaylie. So, I took it upon myself to explain our current situation."Aunt, please calm down for a moment. The truth is, I went to Brentwood to see Dad. I went to our old house, and that's where I found him. We've talked, and I know everything now, so please let the two of us talk to Mom." Aunt Kaylie's face revealed surprise and disbelief that I wasn't afraid to confront Dad."Are you really okay? I'm concerned that your mother might be shocked. I don't want sister's condition to worsen," she replied, and Dad a
KATELYN'S POV♡♡♡"I understand, my child. It was my fault that our family fell apart. I was overwhelmed by sadness and problems and sought solace in another woman. But believe me. I didn't stay with her for long. I realized that your mother and you needed me," explained Papa as we sat in the living room. Since he regained his senses, he had been explaining to me about what had happened in the past.I let him explain because I knew I had hastily judged my father. At a young age, I didn't consider his feelings and focused on how I was hurt by what happened to us.I didn't even bother to find out what happened to him or why he suddenly left and went with someone else. All I knew back then was that he was a terrible father who abandoned us, a worthless father who was never there when I needed him.That's what stuck in my mind. That's what Mama ingrained in my young mind."If only I had understood your mother better, if only I had delved deeper into the reasons behind her change, we would
