To this, the man rolled his eyes and shot her a gaze that made her feel as if she was both a fool and troublemaker. Knowing how difficult how she was being made Seraphine feel guilty for a second before she convinced herself to think otherwise. She was adamant on justifying how she acted.
He then went on to elaborate about how Aeryes would exploit it given that he had the chance. Directly, he would be able to extract more answers from her and be able to clear any doubts he had. Of course, him biting the bait was just a possibility— nothing that was confirmed by hundred percent. However, seeing how no harm would be done, Kayden pointed out how there was no problem in implementing is.
The thing is that Seraphine understood this from very first, but her personality that didn’t allow her to be at peace with Kayden nitpicked at everything.
“Where is he?” Seraphine questioned, wearing a nonchalant expression.
“At the basement,&rdqu
For Aeryes, a splitting headache made it hard for him to open his eyes and get a clear view of his surroundings. A groan escaped from his lips at the intense pain, and opening his eyes slowly, he saw the figure of Seraphine standing in front of her. It was too blurry for him to make out the expression on his face.Slowly, the situation was starting to sink into her. He was in that dream when he suddenly felt that pain and wanted to leave immediately. What happened after that was that he had completely blacked out, and he couldn’t remember following that. Now that he had opened his eyes, he was in this basement.He could feel that his limbs were restrained, and infuriated by them, he did try to break free of them, only to realize that was impossible. It appeared that his powers were being suppressed, and his physical strength was too low for him to get him out of here.Looking at Seraphine in front of him, he could guess what had happened, and about this, h
But this was when his World had come crashing down. He saw the very girl he loved and was devoted to in the arm do someone else. That person was Kayden Clementis, and it appeared that they were about to get married. There was no way he would be able to take it.As a result, he abducted Seraphine. The woman belonged to him, and no one was allowed to take him away from him. This was what he has established in his mind. Seeing how he was strong enough to do so, he didn’t take it to be a hassle of any kind.In the beginning, Seraphine did cause trouble to a certain extent, but in the end, she grew to become obedient. Fond of how the situation was, he decided to forget about the betrayal and spoiled her with all he could.But then, he learned that this was only an act for him to lower his guard, so that she could escape, and this made him lose all control. After everything he had done for her sake, she never put him in consideration.If truth was to be t
Of course, whilst waiting for Kayden to return, Seraphine did not plan to let Aeryes stay there peacefully. In the beginning, she attacked the beast with words, but running out of that, she decided to opt for physical attacks.That's why, wearing a smile on her face, she approached the beast. The discomfort on his face brought her immense joy, and the next movement she took was to squeeze his face, causing his mouth to open.Then, placing a pill inside of his mouth, she ignored his resistance as she pressed down his lips with her palm in order to prevent him from spitting the pill out. Although Aeryes didn't want to swallow the pill, his weakened self was of no match to Seraphine, and the pill started to slowly melt in his mouth, leaving behind a bitter aftertaste.
The indescribable things done to him by Seraphine caused Aeryes to lose all of his spirit. His face was pale and sunken, showing he had been drained out of his energy.He bled from both his nose and mouth. The sight was disgusting in her eyes, and seeing the listless look in his eyes caused Seraphine to be filled with disappointment. She thought he would be stronger than this.Who would have expected the beast to have such low endurance?Of course, this was far from satiating her burning thirst for revenge that had accumulated due to torture she had to suffer all due to him."You haven't murdered it yet, right?"Hearing the familiar voice question that made Seraphine turn her head back, and her eyes met with those of her brother's. The mischievous glint in her eyes were obvious.She then grinned and expressed, "How could that be possible? He is too resilient
In the end, Eugene wasn't able to bear watching all the torture planned out by Seraphine for Aeryes. He had to admit that his older sister wasn't exactly sane in the head.Only when she was finally hungry did she leave the room, and seeing how her hand was tainted by blood caused him to feel sick in his stomach again. He couldn't understand how she managed to stomach a meal after.Staring at her with pure amazement, he commented, "You are seriously insane. Don't you feel even a little disturbed."This made Seraphine grub at her brother before speaking out, "Ah! That! It is actually disgusting if I think about it now, but back then, I was too consumed by my rage and excitement that I overlooked it "Eugene did want to question how she was able to eat meat if she found it to be disgusting. Although he watched only a little, he wasn't able to reach out for the meat.But he decided t
Seraphine had no clue on what Kayden went to do. Although she wanted to contact him, there was no way for her to do so, and seeing how this made her upset, she had no choice but to vent it upon the Aeryes.Seraphine had to admit that the Aeryes was more resilient than she had originally took him to be for he didn't die even after all that she had put him under. Seraphine was never a sadist, but the years of thirst for revenge unlocked this side of hers.She didn't have to worry about running our of methods to torture the beast. Although she wasn't on the creative side, fhr hatred accumulated helped her think of enough ideas to torture the beast.What brought her satisfaction was when she finally had the beast break down to tears and beg for forgiveness. Even the thought of his death wouldn't make
Of course this was far from making up for the grievances in her heart. If possible she wanted to entangle with the beast for few more lifetimes and make him beg for forgiveness at the end of each life.A sadistic smile filled with satisfaction was present on her features as she extended her hand forward and tightly gripped on to his face. She remained unfazed by all the blood in her hand.The tears running down his face made her comment, “Now look at who is the pathetic one. This is why you shouldn’t be too confident from the beginning. Who knows when the tables turn?”There was no energy in the beast to argue or glare at the woman. The pain made it hard for him to register her words.Noticing the absentminded behavior, Seraphine raised her leg and stepped on his thigh, pressing down. Although the pain from this could barely compare to the one spreading through his entire being continuously, making him feel as if he was stabbed by thousa
Lyle led her to the room Clayton was in. Eugene and Sharon was already present there along with Kayden. It seemed that he was one who found Clayton.Although she had a clue on how he went to search for her brother, she was surprised by how he found her brother. He didn’t even ask Aeryes about the location.“How did you find him?” Seraphine asked.“Well, I had my way,” he vaguely answered. A frown formed on Seraphine’s face, but there was no use in pushing him for the answer.Seraphine knew how she would not meet with a proper answer from him, and this will only result in a fight between them. Aware she shouldn’t waste the little time they had been them concerned with such petty affairs, Seraphine shut down her curiosity.Her brother looked well, showing how no harm had been done to him. He was only unconscious. However, according to Kayden, he will be awake in a couple of hours. Kayden checked, and he was c
Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y
“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w
Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda
Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h
Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H
Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso
“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for
Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward. At th
It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
