"W-what are you doing in my house?"

I took a step back, I might have asked who he is or where the hell did his good looks come from but the fact that my killer hasn't been found yet has entered my mind uninvited, making me tremble.

I was about to take one more step backward, away from my room but he was gone in an instant! I felt my back touched someone else's body so I roughly turned around and he was there!

I stumbled back, scared of him, scared of what's happening. I stared at him and dig my nails in my palm to see if I am hallucinating or even dreaming. But I am fucking not! And he is really standing right in front of me! He looked at me like he was having fun watching me frightened. I shook my head, gathering a lot of courage to speak up.

"Are you my killer?" My voice broke in the middle of the sentence.

He then sat down with his bent knee and laughed in a way that feels more of scorn. "I could have killed you back in the hospital if I was your killer." Oh my God! So he is real! The kiss was, too! I swallowed, but the cold ambiance in the room still travels through my entire body.

"Who are you?"

"Your savior."

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I wanted to laugh at his ridiculing subject but I was too damn afraid to be laughing my ass right now. His eyes never break with mine and as my eyes travel down to his lips, I remember the faint kiss that woke me up the last, last night. I know I am damn- stupid to be thinking about that right now.

"You sold your soul to me before you died."

This time, I laughed—hard. What is this comic shit that he is talking about? I watched how Johnny, the ghost rider, sold his soul to the devil, but that is a movie! "You are funny. You think I am going to believe that?"

He shrugged as he licked his lips. "See for yourself." He laid his cheek on his palm and stared at me with his stoic face.

My laugh turned to a silent scream when my heart felt a painful burst, all of a sudden. The pain was something that I can remember. This is how it felt like when I was shot, suffering slowly until blood all come out. My eyes are tearing out and the air that continuously supplies my lungs were gone. There were these burns once again, making me cry. I grasped for help but he was just staring at me, acting like he was watching a dull movie. "S-stop this please..." I managed to get those three words out of my mouth then the pain stopped.

After the traumatizing event, my body fell down completely and everything turned black.

My eyes opened when my chest was touched by something warm. It was giving me a peaceful feeling, I turned to open my eyes.

I was in my bed and the devil, as he thinks of himself, which he really is, after subjecting me to that pain again is sitting beside me.

"You're evil." I frowned, tears began streaming out of my face even though I bit my lip to try and stop it.

"Well, that's what I am, a demon." He spoke seriously. This time, you'll never see the jest in his blue eyes. He just looks at me, waiting for me to stop my crying.

"What's going to happen to me now?" I spoke between my sobs.

"After you died, your soul offered me your body and that's it."

I looked at him, the menace tracing from my teary eyes. I took my pillow and hugged it, hiding my body from him. "So you're gonna—I will be your sex slave?" I have never been so reserved all this time just for someone I don't even know to touch me!

"Dumb girl, I wouldn't even take an interest in that body of yours. There are so many girls out there that I can mess up with, those with bigger--." He stopped as his gaze drop down my boobs. He was scorning me again and damn, that is cruel. I felt a pang of disappointment for some stupid reasons.

"Well, I would never let you touch me too!" Even though your hotness is overqualified! He is really angelic to be a demon. I imagined the demons from the stories to have horns and have burning skins but this one in front of me looks like he came out from a freaking web novel.

My breathing hitched when he leaned so close to my face, with his lips partly opened. "Are you sure about that?" His sexy voice was there again, making me feel an unwanted itch on my body. I nodded, showing him that I can't just take back my words.

As if he was challenging me, the tip of his finger laid in my cheek, slowly sliding it down until he reaches my neck—I gasped. His lips curved into a lop-sided smile and he continues with his finger play, he then put his palm at the back of my nape while his thumb gently stroking the side of my neck, never breaking intense eye contact. I can feel the tingles running back to my spine as he puts on a little more pressure to his touch, his lips now closer, breathing into mine. I can smell his minty breath, and the hotness pulsating in my body is turning me on.

My senses were suddenly heightened, as he pushes me to lay down with his body on top of me, his sexy beautiful eyes never leaving me, and the proximity of our faces never changing. His nail lightly grazes on my nape and neck, it made me moan. I have never felt like this before, nor did I have someone do this to me. His other hand lays on my waist, his fingers sliding up until he reached the side of my breast, my moan turned to come out louder than before. The tension broke when he snorted, shaking his head, he left my pulsating body on the bed as he stood up with a victorious smile on his face.

"Where is the 'I would never let you touch me' act, Ms. Reiss? You nearly opened up your legs for me." He tilted his head, dropping down that fucking hot and cold gaze upon me. I threw the pillow at him in rage. Fuck you! I would never let you play with me again. He laughed as the pillow hit him. It was cute, too damn cute—but it's not funny. He opened up a part of me that is filled with wanting and now I feel uneasy.

"Let's talk about this outside." He leaned his head to point out the dining area and he walked away, closing the door of my room.

"Moron!" I shouted, punched my bed, and threw up some tantrums like a fucking child. It would have been so nice if he wasn't so arrogant. That fucking devil! I would have been scared if he was formal but he acts like a freaking gang leader!

I shouted once again, letting out a high pitch sound until my lungs couldn't take it anymore. I dropped down my bed, breathing heavily, and stayed like that for quite a time. I walked outside after calming myself down, I found him in the chair near the dining bar in my kitchen and he looks at me without saying anything but pointing me to go in the kitchen.

"What do you want from me?" I frowned as I dropped my palm on the tiles of the kitchen. I'm not afraid of him anymore, if he wants to just kill me then go ahead!

"No, you tell me." He looked at me like an alpha, his arms resting on the bar.

"What do you mean tell you? I don't even remember the deal you are talking about." I stared highly at him, I am angry right now, I want to slap his regal face but I can't just do that.

"Tell me what you want right now,” he replied softly.

"What the hell is this conversation even about?" I am totally curious as to why the demon which I offered my soul is asking me what I want.

He stood up, his palm still laying on the cold tiles, he was a bit taller than me and leaned closer at me again. I never faltered, I raised my eyebrow. I don't want some games right now.

"What. Do.You.Want?" He spoke with stress and tone in between the words and his eyes darken once again.

"I don't know! Maybe tell me how I am able to repay you for my life?" My tone was higher. Damn- I am furious. I don't care if our faces are close right now, whether do I care that I can feel his hot aura clashing with mine. I need to know what this is all about.

"Then be mine."

    I felt the butterflies rummaging in my stomach. His breathing was heavy and the air that escaped his lips caressed mine. I, on the other hand, was unconsciously gritting my lower lip with my teeth—gosh, he smells of fine wine and eucalyptus. "Did he touch you?" Why are their questions both about touching me? “What? Of course not,” I answered promptly. I fucking sound so defensive. His voice was deep and his eyes examined mine carefully. His grip on both my hands tightened sending currents throughout my body. I felt the bit of pain but it felt exciting-- fucking different. "We’re not even lovers." My voice came out ragged, my breath was turning heavier and heavier as his other hand laid on my neck, his fingers sliding from my delicate skin into the back of my head. "W-what are you doing?" I gulped, he suddenly tugged into my hair making me groan. "Do you like it?" His voice is sexy and flirty, never lea

    I can't think straight.I'm trying to get him off out of my mind but even editing and reading the drafts of the story that I am holding clearly never helped.I didn't want to hurt him—but he was so stubborn and jealous? Is he jealous? But what does that even mean if he is?And why the hell am I acting like a defensive girlfriend? I held my pen and put its tip between my teeth, my mind wondering in my oblivion of thoughts. I can't even hear anything, all that replays in my mind is what he said to me about 'nobody knows his situation' type of thing. I felt bad—I should apologize to him later but how can I even do that?"Hey, girl."Kate sat down beside me, making my issues in life hide behind the back of my head. "Hi,” I greeted her."What's bothering you?""Nothing,” I answered.She lets out a hmmm sound, looking at me with her 'I don't believe you' eyes. "I'm just thinking about my killer."

    I never slept---I took a shower and put on my white blouse and black skirt. My eyes have dark circles around it, making me look like a damn raccoon. I covered it with concealer and put some moisturizer on my lips. I can't claim the promotion today if I'm not even representable."What happened?" Zach appeared at the door of my room. I called him last night and told him about it."He's gone," I answered and my tone turned out to be as flat as my attitude right now. I don't know what to feel anymore. After my outburst yesterday, trying to take the first step to analyze what is going on in my heart, the man who cause me such outrage is now nowhere to be seen."He'll come by, you know,” he uttered as he stepped his way into the room."I don't care anymore."I stood up from my mirror and looked at Zach. "How do I look?""Beautiful. But there's something missing?" His brows creased."If this is another one of your jokes, I swea

I should just consider him gone. How dare he!I scribbled hardly on the paper in front of me that I've lost my mind!Oh shit!It's some resume of someone named....I ruined the copy with my ink!I gasped. I shouldn't let out my anger at work again! I am gonna destroy my career. Damn him! Really! Damn him! Even he is some all-powerful creature! Damn him!I arranged the scattered papers on my desk and drop every group loudly on my table."Damn you, Adam!""Uhm. is there anything wrong Miss Eva?"I jumped on my feet, I didn't know someone was in there."Oh, I'm so sorry! How long have you—been there?"It's some guy that I don't know who but he has black hair, a fit body, and Caucasian skin.

    The tension that was building in the room made me wanna scream and run away. His cold gaze made me weak and it made my fingers fumble on the hem of my skirt. He looks so formal, a professional. His hair was brushed up behind, but a strand of hair laid on his forehead.I am amazed at how civilized he was here than the first time I met him. In my place, he looked like someone who would just barges into your house, like the bad boy in the novels. Right now, he looks like a hot billionaire man who was a regal back in the medieval period. Classy and sophisticated.

    After that night, my soul never met peace.I never had the chance to sleep after Adam's word echoed through my brain nonstop, like it was looped for the whole night. 'I am not the one in your heart.'I still don't get it.I got off my bed and I felt like I was about to collapse. Tremendous heat was radiating in my body so I decided to rush into the bathroom to take a shower. My head was hurting like hell and it was like I was having a migraine. I tried to relax as I let the waters drop onto my head. Every cascading droplet of water made me think of Adam's fingers brushing my skin.Fuck it.I flung my eyes open and just finished my bath before my frivolous thoughts disturb me again. I went to my room and see my wardrobe if I can choose anything to wear for today. I feel sick.I think I don't want to go to the office today.I should call Nat. I sat down on my bed and opened my cellphone. I scroll through my co

The water was clear, it was pure and it made my body calmer after doing some mortal work by the farm. I have been in this beautiful world for 10 years and have resided with the dwellers ever since. It was so different from our world before where the rivers looked more like blood than this kind of water.I have stayed under this water for quite some time now. The sun was just at the tip of the mountain when I laid my body on this lake. Now, the sun was already up high, directly above every living. My powers never left my body when I came here--- a reason why I could breathe underwater with these slightly small creatures swimming around me.I never thought there’s something more than just cruelty…I closed my eyes, letting the water take care of my body as I s

    Adam and I were in his kitchen, cooking paella for our dinner. It was so fun seeing him cook, "How did you learn this, Adam?" "What, cooking?" "Yea." I put some chorizo in my mouth and chew. "Well, because of the restaurants, I guess. I taste them, so I cook them." I choked on the chorizo so I hit my chest a couple of times.That easy? What is he, a gourmet chef?It was awesome to think of but I was dying, so Adam got me some glass of water, laughing at the side. I gulped the water and put the glass down. "I guess, you're the coolest I have ever seen." He snorted at my words and I just helped him cook. As I did, Adam kept kissing my cheek every once in a while as I chopped the ingredients. When we were done, we laid the food and placed some wine at the table. "Here goes our dinner date." I clapped and he placed a candle in the middle of it, grinning at me. "What I ate earlier was the most delicious though." He winked

Where are we going anyway?” I asked, how the hell would I know what to wear? He curled his back by the sofa to look at me in an upside down manner and I walked towards him and flicked my finger on his chin.“Ouch! Why are you hurting me?” He yelped but I knew he wasn’t hurt, making me giggle. “Just dress up your prettiest.” What is that even supposed to mean?

    "This is my resignation letter." Cathlyn handed over an envelope at my desk without look at me directly."Why?" I asked. I kind of feel nothing as of the moment but I can't lose one good employee just because of our personal issues. She sighed and glanced at me. I was just staring at her, waiting for her reply."This is proper, after everything that's happened. I'm sorry, Eva.""Cathlyn." She set her eyes on me so I decided to be direct. "Is this what you really want?"She smiled and nodded."Okay. What will you do after?" I smiled back at her and stood up on my seat to get close to her. She's not my enemy but I do have trust issues in the meantime but overall, Cathlyn may also be Kate's victim, they have been friends for years, I guess that's just how it is."Culinary?" She shrugged."Okay." That's kind of great for her development, I think. I said that before, she loves cooking more than she loves literature. "Thank you for yo

    I woke up seeing Adam's bright blue eyes watching me. "Hello, beautiful."I bit my lip, concealing my flustered grin that was plastered on my face early in the morning.What a sweet start of the day.I laid a peck on his lips and jumped to embrace him tight. He let out a low chuckle and I snuggled on his warm bare chest. "It's only 4 am."I hummed at him and he laid a kiss on my head. "He's here."I pulled away and with a questioning look, "what?""Dress yourself Eve." He bit his lip, looking at my breast and I swat his chest, making him laugh.I think Zach will be joining the breakfast and I'm kind of happy to have them around. But I'm kind of nervous because this will be the time when I'll know what Zach really is. I should be mad for him lying to me but it's kind of unreasonable considering that these two brothers just wanted me to be safe. I took a shower and Adam suggested that he'll do coffee.Isn't Adam too kind?

    "Cathlyn, did you know what Kate did?"I asked her as we sat down at the table by the kitchen. She had been pleading for forgiveness ever since I woke up from my sleep. She was fiddling with her fingers on the table as I asked her."Yes. The thing is, I first learned the truth from the hospital.""How?" I was hurt, she already knew and she just let it subside like it was nothing. But apart from this rage, I wanted to understand,why?"The reason why you were in the flat line was because Kate injected something in your IV Fluid.""What!?" I landed my fist on the table making her jump but I don't care. "You didn't even tell me about it! It's not just a simple child fight! It was my life she tried to end!" I put my palm on my forehead since it was suddenly streaking in pain.I feel too much stress today.Why is this even happening to me? Cathlyn was wiping her tears and I have no choice but to listen to whatever it was

    My eyes flung open when I heard Kate yelped. Zach was still standing by the door and he was just staring the two.Zach looked at his chest then looked at Kate with a smirk on his lips and with a glint on his eyes.What?The bullet did nothing and it's like the gun was never fired at all. My large gaze laid on Zach who was wearing such a frightening expression by the door, sneering at Kate."You have to do better than that, Kate!"Zach laughed manically and his voice was deeper than before, making even me, frightened of his mocking tone. Zach… What are you Zach…? He was cackling and I was just staring at him as Kate continuously fire the gun, trembling and shaking for what they are witnessing. Simon was just frozen behind Kate and I felt the same as my eyes never left my best friend who was slowly turning into a monster that I’ve never known before.My Zach's eyes were as green as the leaves of the tree

    "Shit..." My ears were suddenly so clogged and my vision was blurry. It was so darn painful that I can't even open my eyes. I felt so weak but I cannot stay unconscious or else I wouldn't know what happened."There's no use, little flower."Little flower?Who the fuck was that?I do know that voice but why? I turned my back and tried to move but my hands were tied behind my back and I was lying on a cold concrete. When I opened my eyes, everything was blurry but it was clear that I didn’t know where I am. My breaths started to be quicker as my heart pulsates on my body out of fear. Even in this blurry motion, I can see clearly. It was Simon, that fucking weirdo."The fuck do you want?" I uttered, I am deeply unafraid but I was mad. The back of my head stings and I feel like my body was invalid, there was nothing for me to do. But now I know who my killer was, and it gave me some sense of strength to keep my pride."Feis
