"Mister... Please, understand my situation as well. As much as I wanted to pay you, I really don't have even a single penny with me right now."
Abby pleaded with all earnestly as she tried to make the old man see some sense. Yet her plea only fell on deaf ears.
"NO! Give me your money or I swear I will make it sure that you will spend the rest of your dear life inside the cell."
"Sir, please. I'm begging you. Please give me some time. I'll look for Aunt Sarah and once I found them, we will pay you back right away. If you want even with interest on top of that."
Abby bargained but the other party was really a tough nut to crack
"NO WAY! I am certain that you are just trying to dope me exactly like how that filthy wench mother of yours had done to me before. If you guys think that I would fall for the same trick again, you are all wrong! HUH! I am not a pushover!"
****Eugene was not sure how he was able to come back at the land of Marcella nor what was he exactly doing at that place at that moment.It was as though he was teleported back in the past. Some time within the old days, where there was no technology yet. Where mobile phones, TVs and the internet were not yet part of necessity and people could still function just fine even with the absence of electricity.Everything was exactly how he remembered it.From afar, he saw the flocks of seagulls as they migrated and flew towards the other side of the horizon. The squawking sound that they made was slowly being swallowed by the sound of waves.Eugene took his time to clearly observed how the sun that was as big as an orange plate started to dive in the sea; somewhere along the line where the sea and the sky met.After a short while, the sun had gone to completely made its way do
Amidst the raging mob who were gathered at the town plaza, stood a young man on tattered clothes.Contrary to the emotion that dominated the crowd, the young man was in tears as he watched the lady of his dream being burned at stake.The young man was obviously no other than Eugene, himself.He tried his best to muster his resolve and willed himself to think that what he was seeing at that very moment was not for real and all of it was just happening inside his head.It was nothing but a dream!But saying it like that and thinking it that way was not as easy as controlling his emotion. Because for Eugene, it was like he was being forced to relive his most painful memory over and over again.She was the love of his life and yet there he was, doing nothing as he helplessly watched from afar how everything unfold before him.He wanted to spe
Eugene bolted up straight from his bed and woke up with his face wet with his own tears. He subconsciously touched his necklace as soon as he woke up.It was the same necklace that Miyara wore before her death and it was the only thing that he managed to salvage from her.The blaring sound of his TV played on the background as it was left active while she was drowsing since he unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa while watching his favorite show on Netflix.Looking around him, he also noticed that the sun had already departed and it was already dark outside and so he stood up from his seat and opened the door in his veranda, wide enough to let the cold draft of the night enter his living room.He was just about to step outside the house when a small voice sounded behind him and called him out of the blue."Where are you going, master???"It was his sidekick/ pet, Jorah.Jorah was
Abby did not have an idea of how long she passed out or how did she even manage to reach the riverbank in the first place, knowing that she did not know how to swim.The rain had long gone now but the grasses, as well as the soil below her, were still moist. A black trench coat was wrapped around her body to protect her from the cold night draft.Checking herself for any casualties, Abby heaved a sigh of relief when she found none. She thought that she would really die for good back then but thanks heaven, that she did not.Or did she????When that thought crossed Abby's mind, she immediately checked herself again. This time, however, she deliberately stopped herself from breathing for a minute or two. Only when she felt that her lungs were still desperately craving for oxygen did she confirmed to herself that she was still alive and kicking.
Abby was just about to knock on the door when she saw something at the corner of her eyes."MADE FOR HIRE"She read the words written on the placard that was hung at the wooden door."Ohh??? Was it not an act called serendipity??? I am currently in search of a place to stay and this opportunity presented itself to me. Maybe this is the turning point of my life. I should have to give this one a try."'EHEM'Abby deliberately cleared her throat first as soon as she reached the entrance of the old mansion. Then after that, she knocked softly against its wooden door to announce her presence."Excuse me, is there anybody home? I wish to return something from a guy named Eugene and it was said in his ID card that th
"Stay right there."The same man commanded with so much authority in his voice to the point that even the panic-stricken Abby was made to comply.She heard footsteps and based on its sound, the other party was already getting near her, yet she remained frozen on the spot. She could not even move a finger at the moment, let alone her head to look at the direction of the man who was approaching her.For some unknown reason, Abby was scared stiff as a stone."Who are you and who brought you here???"The manly voice once again echoed within the darkness. His voice sounded psychedelic yet at the same time, it also had its own sense of appeal that could convince one to listen to his voice over and over again.Even Abby found it hard to deny that if she would ever be given a chance to listen to the other party's voice, she would gladly do so.
Obviously, the other party was no other than, Eugene himself.The same warlock, who together with his pet cat, Jorah, chose to live amongst the non-magic human.He wondered how the other party managed to track him down and what more was that she even managed to read those inscriptions written in ancient Marcellian calligraphy.The other party surely caught his attention this time, and since he was also currently in need of an assistant, he decided to give Abby a chance.However..."Get away from me! You freak!!!"Abby shoved him away as soon as she regained her footing but because of her abrupt action, she fell on her feet."What a clumsy, young lady."
Abby ran around the place like a headless chicken and Eugene did not stop her, he just let her did as she pleased since she would not get far from him anyway.There was no way she could escape him, the room was surrounded with nothing but walls and without his enchantment, no one would be able to leave the place.Meanwhile, Abby desperately felt in the dark. She convinced herself that the exit was somewhere within those walls."HEEEEEELLLLLPPP!"She screamed until her voice already turned coarse. But obviously no one would be able to hear her.Tears started to strea
"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
