"Too noisy..."Out of the blue, Eugene started descending down the stairs. Then in the next instant, Abby found herself floating in the air, which did not come as a surprise to her anymore.In fact, she already grew quite used to it now since the other party often did that to her as he reckoned that it was good practice for her to overcome her fear of heights."Eugene put me down. Look what you have done? Our clothes got mixed up again."She said but there was no hint of annoyance in her voice as she was still feeling over the clouds knowing what the other party had done for her.Eugene also brought her down the floor afterward but he was caught off guard when Abby ran to his arms. The other party hugged him tightly due to her mixed up emotion of excitement and delight that she was feeling.Eugene remained frozen on the spot as he did not know what to react. Abby on the other hand, pulled away awkwardly when she realized what she had done.Due to her over excitement, she ended up huggi
After that short but awkward encounter at the living room, Abby's day went on pretty much normal as how it was on usual days.She did the laundry, cleaned every nooks and cranny of the house, then she also prepared the meal, do the dishes, and repeat!Jorah was there to assist here and there, but obviously, almost all of the works were done by Abby, herself since the cat could not exactly cover enough household chores by himself alone.Her task revolved almost everything that a housekeeper would normally do. Nothing out of ordinary, which was somehow contrary to what she initially expected.Signing an apprenticeship contract with not just an ordinary man but a warlock made Abby think that she would eventually have to get used to dealing with things related to sorcery.However, living with Eugene under the same roof for a month, she came to realize that her prejudice was unfounded since it did not seem that the other party even have any plan of having her do or touch anything related to
Going out of her room, Abby realized that the house was nearly empty."Hmmm... They must have been in the secret room again."She told herself as she started making her way to the said room.'Secret Room' was what Abby used to call the chamber where Eugene brought her the first time they met to have her signed the blood contract.But after that night, Abby had been kept out of the room and she never visited it again. Firstly because there was no way for her to enter the room without Eugene's consent.The room would only open itself once Eugene did his hocus pocus and obviously, Abby could not duplicate even a portion of what he was doing. Even though it looked just as simple as randomly tapping on the brick walls."EHEM!"Standing outside, just before what she believed to be the entrance of the room, Abby deliberately cleared her throat first before deciding to announce her presence."Eugene???? Are you there???"She called out of thin air, but even after waiting for a few seconds, she
Abby subconsciously reached out on her pocket when she heard Eugene said that"How did you know?"She could not help but ask the other party but soon after, she also came up with an answer of her own.Meanwhile, Eugene only gave her a shrug and flashed her a cocky smile as though implying that it was as easy as a piece of cake for him."Alright, but make it quick. I expect to see you back here before nightfall. Is that clear?"Eugene reminded her sternly and since the other party was her master, Abby had no other choice but to relent. Besides, it was not like she would love to spend some time with their old landlord in the first place.So she nodded her head right away and gave in to the other party's condition without giving it a second thought."Gotta go!"She said as she bid them her farewell and waved them goodbye."Keep safe, little girl."Jorah called out as they watched Abby's back going farther away from them."She would be fine alone, right?"Jorah asked his master as soon as
"You heard him just fine. Where is the bankbook?""Bankbook? I don't have it. My aunt took it all."Abby replied with a quivering voice. However, her reply only seemed to trigger the other party even more as he turned more aggressive.He grabbed Abby on her collar and spat threatening words through his gritted teeth."Now, I must tell you that I don't have much patience so stop fooling around. Your bitch auntie told us that you have it and now you are telling me that she has it? Clearly one of you must be lying but I have no time to waste playing detective. I believe you are a wise girl. You must have heard in the news already what usually happened on little girls after being taken on isolated places. Don't you???"He said before he stuck his tongue and leaned closer to Abby to take in her scents. He licked the skin behind Abby's ear and Abby felt goosebumps upon that contact.Abby closed her eyes as tears fell on her eyes. She did not know what to do and all she could think of was,"E
"Woah! Tone it down a little bit partner. You don't want to ruin our toy before we could even enjoy ourselves with it. Don't you?"The man driving the car said as he looked over the rearview mirror to check the situation behind him.
"Huh? How did you know that, master???"Jorah inquired with his whiskers twitching at both sides due to his utter confusion.It was not that he suspected that his master was trying to bluff in anyway, but it was just that as far as he knew, his master did not have any foretelling ability.Yes, he was indeed a capable warlock, maybe even unmatched among his peers, but if his memory was not failing him yet, during his years of living with Eugene, the talking tomcat also never heard of the other party having a premonition before.However, Eugene no longer had time to explain to his cat so instead of giving light to Jorah's doubt, Eugene only beckoned to him to make some haste."I also don't know how I just knew. Quick! We have to go save her."And without wasting another minute of their time, Eugene readied his wand and ran outside. His cat, Jorah, naturally followed behind him.Meanwhile, the sky grew darker; the wind blew colder and raindrops started to fall as though the clouds itself
Abby just kept on running until her heart was already beating wildly inside her chest. It was as though it was ready to jump out from her mouth at any moment.For a split second, Abby felt that there was still hope for her. Maybe she could really escape this predicament. 'I just have to run as fast as I could'She told herself. Yet all of a sudden, her shoulder jerked forward and pain assailed her out of nowhereThe pain was so intense that it almost felt as though her pain radiated throughout her entire body.She took a brief glance at her side and saw that a dagger was embedded in her shoulder.Without further thinking about it, Abby reached for it with her other good arm and yanked the dagger out.Abby did not dare to slow down even just a bit but then out of the blue, she felt as though she was doused with a bucket of cold water.It was as if the whole place turned chiller and whatever energy that Abby gained before vanished without a trace.Her legs started to feel weak and she e
"How I wish I could personally wipe that smile on your face. It was so irritating."She thought to herself."Ehem...ahem..."The old man in the middle of the elevated platform cleared his throat and everyone fell silent. He carefully scans all faces present in the hall until it landed on Mu Lingxi and he smiles slightly.When the old man was sure that everyone is already present, he stands up and started the meeting. This old man was no other than the clan head, Mu Ruochen. Mu Lingxi's grandfather.
The morning sunray that went through the blinds of her window, forced Ai Hee out from her dreamland.It was so bright that when she opened her eyes, it almost blinded her."Hey! Close the window, what do you want?!"With a groggy head, she inquired at her cat; because when she tried to peaked through her half closed eyes, she saw her cat seating next to their window.Most likely than not, it was the other party who opened the window, with an intention to wake her."MEOW"[ It's time to wake up little lass. Your grandfather has been waiting for you since the break of dawn he and had been sending Yanyan to fetch you. But you simply would not bulge from that bed of yours. ]Nero replied while lazily stretching his back."AHRGG! give five more minutes!"Ai Hee mumbled as she slumped back to her bed and covered her head using one of her pillows. She intended to come back to her sleep, but Nero would not allow her to have it h
"MEOW"[ Let us just forget what we heard. We can just pretend that we don't know where it came from right?]her cat tried to console her but they both feel like they were coyed.Mu Lingxi ignored his cat and instead look at Yanyan who was eating something that resembles Pringles."And what was that made from?" Mu Lingxi became more cautious and ask Yanyan first before tasting one."Well, this one is some kind of tree bark. It was leisurely chipped away from a CINCHONA TREE" Yanyan unhurriedly answered as she takes a bite from the chip.Mu Lingxi finds it more acceptable to eat so she decided to give it a try. It tasted like Piattos' roadhouse barbeque." I never thought that a simple bark of a tree-like this can turn to be a delectable food in this place." Mu Lingxi exclaimed.Yanyan wonders why her young miss acts so strange. It was as if it was her first time knowing this kind of food.Nevertheless, she never doubted
Abby had thought about going back to her bed and resumed her sleep but then she remembered that today was her special day!"I am 18 now!!!! This is the day that I have been waiting for."She said as she bolted up straight from her bed.Without even bothering to wash her face or at least combed her hair and fix its hot mess, Abby immediately ran towards her door.But to her surprise, the door seemed lock from the outside! And no matter how hard she tried to push nor heave the door, it just simply would not budge.That was when Abby started to had a bad feeling."What was wrong with this door?!! Hey! Let me out of here!!!"She shouted at the top of her lungs, hoping that it would catch the attention of anyone from the other side of the door, but her efforts had only gone to naught.... SI
"For your 25, 000-dollar question, what is the name of the plant that could turn the one who devoured them into some sort of zombie and control its minds???"A. OphiocordycepsB. Wolf's BaneC. PigweedorD. Resurrecting PlantThe bald game show master asked Abby. His extremely white teeth made a great contrast with his dark skin as he smiled at her.Abby at the moment was playing as a contestant at what seemed to be a game show where one would have to answer some questions that were prepared beforehand.Rewards were also decided prior to the start of the game and every correct answer would allow the player to get a specific amount of money."Was there really a plant capable of doing that? FOR REAL?!!!"Abby asked the game master in return."Yes, dear. And you have to get the right answer for you
Meanwhile, when Abby heard the other party's abrupt accusation towards her, she was flabbergasted."Mine?! How come it became my fault?! I don't even have an idea that you are cooking here until we heard the explosion."Abby rebutted but Eugene only used her same words against her."Precisely! And that is your biggest mistake. You are supposed to be a servant in this house. It is your task to serve me. You are the one who should take care of all of this. Yet I was forced to cook my own meal!""But I was cleaning back then????"Abby argued back."So??? Is it my fault then?? Is it my fault that you wake up late? I am the master here and you are the servant. Do you suggest that I should be the one to adjust??? Should I just wait for you to finish your tasks and starve myself to death?"Eugene sai
I was suddenly taken aback by what he said. What does that mean? “Do you think I really belong to the Rohan family? I just adopted Alyanna !!! Because at first, my adoptive parents thought they would never have children. Case they made a mistake, they had a son! Your dad. ”“And what happened when he entered my life? He stole all the attention of my parents! He is the good one, he is the kind one, he has all the inheritance and nothing is left to me! ” No one told me about that.“But I accepted that Alyanna because your dad was kind to me. He even promised to share the family property with me… but it disappeared! It disappeared like a bubble because your good mother Allina came !!! ”
"Oh… I'll leave you first… I'm going to cry too!" Then Vander left immediately."And if you need anything, just call me.""I already have what I need Brylle." I held on tightly to the necklace I was wearing. The necklace that my mom and dad left for me. "Thank you."Brylle and I stared at each other for a long time. He turned around so I thought he was leaving. But he suddenly came back to face me again.Then he slowly bowed… and gave me another kiss on the cheek. "I'm
“Do you know, ladies, that we have been looking for the lost treasure of the White Light Clan for a long time? Eighteen years! We have been looking for it for so long! ”“So don't hurt us !!! We will tell you where that woman is so that you can get the sacred treasure you are looking for! ”"But we alam we do not know where he…""Shut up, Cerina !!!" The young man looked at Cerina and then at Seline."And you still plan to fool me?"&n
