>>Silva
We all recovered well and got back home safely. Even Felix made a good recovery and was given a paid vacation and a huge bonus for the effort he put in for all of us. It was enough for him to forget about the fact that he almost died in the middle of the sea but since he’s a little simple minded, good for him.
Everything pretty much went back to normal except two things.
One was the baby girl that the young master had brought with himself and didn’t want to part with.
And the second is Renma.
I have no idea what happened to her but she’s been initiating a lot of conversations with me and for some reason that’s scaring m
>>RenmaWhen Hazel came back to the second floor I put down ‘Roshni’, the baby girl Emilio brought, on the couch while she was sleeping and stood up.We still haven’t decided what to do with Roshni but I’ve been thinking about something and I’ll bring up the topic later at an appropriate time.I stopped Hazel in her path when she got to the lounge, “What were you talking about with Silva?” I asked her in a frenzyShe stopped and looked at me, “Geez! You’re in a hurry!”“Ah… Sorry…” I slumped my shoulders, “I’m just nervous,” I went and sat down on the sofa while she sighed.“I won’t do it again,” She came and sat down next to me, “I get it that you’re having a problem since you ignored him for so long but it’s between the two of you.”“I know…” I looked at her with spa
>>HazelI had a relaxing yet short call with Luca and Lucy where I told them a little about myself and we decided to meet somewhere we could talk moreMy best friends are working as makeup artists in some modeling agency called ‘V V’ and sometimes their schedules get a little busy so I got their numbers saved in my phone for easy meet up planning.And oh right!The phone I have now was a gift from my loving husband. Since we settled everything between us he’s become more soft for some reason.Not that I mind, in fact I love it!I had all of my freedom now, aside from the fact that when I had to go out a guard would always accompany me.Felix isn’t back yet so the assignment of guards is usually random but since Felix is enjoying his time I didn’t call him back.He can take his time.I chuckled and then sighed.I should make my way to Valek’s study. He called me there because he want
>>HazelTo say it was an overwhelming feeling would be an understatement. It was something way beyond that.The way my heart pounded in my chest.The way my skin stood up.The way I felt my knees go weak and shivers go down my spine.And the way I couldn’t stop the tears from forming in my eyes and running down my cheeks.It was all because of how shaken I was by the news.My heart was pounding in my chest like crazy while the news was making me a bit dizzy.I was happy, beyond happy!I place
What happens when a person who has seen the dark side of the world since childhood and is emotionally cut off meets a person that always likes to look at other people in bright light?What happens when a person who thinks all people come after him with an ulterior motive meets a person who does everything out of complete purity?What happens when Vincent Vincenzo, a member of the mafia and a man who fakes a smile most of the time, meets Lucy Nam, a former country bumpkin, and an absolute ray of sunshine?***>>LucyIt’s weird.It’s very weird.
>>Lucy“It sure is dark, isn’t it?” I asked.“Yep,” Luca answered, “I can’t see a thing.”We both moved our heads around but it wasn’t going to do us any good since we were blinded and tied.When the boss said he had a better idea about what to do with us, he suddenly gestured to some guards to do their thing and I really have no idea where they came from and knocked us out.Gotta say, that was a weird idea.We woke up on a cold hard floor, blinded and tied. So the only thing we’ve done so far is sit up and sit cross legged in the same place.&nbs
>>Lucy“Woah!” A gasp escaped both of our lips and we stared at the gun that was pointed at us. He already killed a person, right in front of us. I didn’t want to see that. No one would ever want to see that. That’s just cruel.“Boss, that was not nice.” Luca said in a very dim voice“Yeah..” I looked down, “What if he had a family?” I asked with a sorrowful expression.Vincent and Ramessa looked at us with observant eyes. Especially the boss, I could tell he was trying to read us. What we were saying was odd to say in our situation after all. But honestly, we were a bit shaken up.
“If you don’t do this, you will never be able to find what you're looking for.”>>LucyBlinded once again and this time tied up in metal cuffs. These things aren’t easy to break but I wasn’t going to attempt and break them anyway and stayed quiet. I had to be here, with him, for a reason.I believe this time I was separated from Luca because I can’t sense him around me. It’s a twin thing, being able to sense his closeness.“Where are we going?” I asked the person driving.I didn’t receive an answer.I think Vincent is the one driving the car because I sense no
>>Lucy“It’s quite a view,” Vincent said, “And you might be able to catch it if you can break out of these chains.” He chuckled, “And well you can even save your hands, keep them intact.”The time ticked by and my heart began to pound.Breaking zip ties and breaking a metal handcuff is an entirely different thing!!“Boss…”“Time’s ticking by darling,” I heard him take several steps back, “You better hurry.” He sat down.I pouted.When I started living in the city, I learn
>>Roshni (4 years later) “You know.” I licked the ice cream from my ice cream cone as Emilio and I sat on the beach side at night, “I can tell you’ve been meaning to ask something for quite some time now.” He looked at me guiltily, “How long…?” He looked like a criminal who had got caught. “Honestly, for months at this point.” “Shit..” He looked defeated as buried his head in his free hand while the ice cream was melting in his other. “Finish that before it melts onto your hand,” I said and he raised his head to look at the starry sky. He sighed, “It’s nice,” He stared at something distant, “Isn’t it?” The soft sand was comfortable to sit on, the sound of ocean waves was extremely calming and the soft wind that followed just blew one's worries away. “Mmm,” I replied to affirm. Emilio quietly ate his ice cream as he kept looking at the clear black sky and I could tell there was something on his mind but I waited for him to say it first and ate my dessert quietly. The silence b
>>Roshni I knew I had to give him an answer. I couldn’t stall it anymore. Not for him, not for me. I knew it wasn’t possible. I knew the words of rejection won’t ever come out of my mouth since I’m madly in love with him too. The feelings that were exploding like a volcano in my heart would say only one thing now. Just looking at him and just thinking about him makes me happy. And perhaps, I should think about what makes me happy. I’m fretting over the world I lived in for centuries but never got to experience these feelings there. But here, it’s different. My life here has been short but I’ve loved every single day. I wish to stay here more than anything, I wish to stay with this person in front of me. “Fine,” I gripped his finger tightly as my own heart pounded violently in my chest, “I’ll stay with you.” I felt so shy it was hard to look at him, “I surrender.” I smiled, “To you.” “Really?” He couldn’t believe it at first. He was even bewildered and stared at me with his eyes
>>Roshni I ran back home. As soon as Lio was done singing, I dashed towards the exit, took the bus, and ran into the mansion, straight to my room Why? Because I was overwhelmed. I ran away because I felt like my feelings would explode. My heart felt so full I had no idea what to do. I crashed on my bed as the sound of my heart pounding drummed in my ears. God! What is this? I’m supposed to be a demon! My heart shouldn’t be trembling like this! I placed my hand on my chest. I guess I’m getting like this because he’s being straightforward now. Before he was avoiding the subject and didn’t respond that well but now, it’s like he’s taken the sword and is charging full speed ahead on the battlefield. My face was hot, my cheeks flushed, and my thoughts a mess. I want him. I want him so much but what about my life in the demon realm? Do I just abandon it? Do I just forsake centuries of life there? I picked the pillow from the bed and hugged it tightly but still the tightness in
>>Roshni A few days have passed and Lio didn’t come to visit me. We went to college separately too and to be honest. I had all the time to think for myself. The half of me that was here is already madly in love with him and now that we’ve combined into a whole again, those feelings are affecting me too. I wasn’t expecting I’d fall for this guy and so much that just the thought of him gets me all excited. Now that I think about it, he’s done everything to make me fall for him over the years. He’s fulfilled my wish of living as a human and experiencing all that I’ve ever wanted. He’s been the sweetest most caring person in my life. I rolled on my bed in my room and a soft flush appeared on my cheeks. I know I love him, I was only able to tackle his words that day because my two halves had combined and everything hadn’t merged completely but now, after a few days, everything is in order yet this human heart of mine is in agony. The agony of love. I thought the feeling would neutr
>>Roshni “You don’t love me,” I told him. “Oh!” He smiled, “But I do,” He seemed quite confident. “No, you don’t,” I shook my head at him “I most definitely do,” He stood his ground, “I always have.” “No,” I shook my head as I felt a little annoyed, “If you did, you would have loved me as Roshni too.” “What makes you think I don’t?” His immediate reply left me baffled. !!! “I- , What?” I shook my head, “You’ve never responded to anything I ever did!” I was feeling furious, “You never made a move.” “It’s because you don’t understand,” His voice got a little serious “I do,” I glared at him, “Your love, your confession of love, it's all fake.” My words made his expression turn grim yet he answered me in a normal voice. “No, you don’t,” He moved to close the space between us and I began to move back. He looked at me with so much longing in his eyes it made me feel things, weird things, “I’ve held myself back for years.” I stopped at the edge of the summoning circle and he close
>>Emilio (4 years old)“I want you.” I said, “Can’t you come with me?”“Hmmm~” The demon wasn’t sure what to say to me, “You want me?” It looked at me quite fondly, “Why?”“I like you,” I said but my confession alarmed it.“You like me?” It looked at me as if I had said the most unusual thing in the world, “You,” It pointed at me, “A human,” Then it pointed at myself, “Like me?” It looked like it didn’t believe me.I nodded at the question, “Yes.”
>>RoshniI didn’t notice it at first, but there were some weird markings there written in different places around the circle and the star. It was a language that felt awfully familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it because I had never really seen it before.So why did it feel so familiar? I had no idea.I quietly made my way into the middle of the blood-red drawing and stood there in the center. My emotions and my thoughts were all mixed up.The sight on the scene was too hard to see but with Lio insisting on so much I just decided to through with it.I had an impending sense of danger around me. It made me feel like if I went th
>>Emilio“Thanks,” I took the box from Aries who came to visit me late at night.“Well,” He shook my hand, “I’m leaving for home now.” He smiled at me and I gave him one back in return, “Are you done with everything?”I nodded, “Yea, everything’s in place,” I looked at the box, “This is the last thing.”“Well,” He stepped back from the porch, “Good luck.” He smiled, “Hope no one dies.”I snickered, “Me too.” I waved at him, “I doubt we’ll be meeting anytime soon.”“Considering how we both live on two different sides of the country.” He shook his head, “No,” He then took a few other steps back, “And clean yourself up before you go to her.” He smirked.I snickered, “The bath’s already running.” I need to get the blood off of me.
>>RoshniEmilio has traveled a lot, to many places but each time he said he was going to look for something and it wasn’t for the sake of leisure.There’s always been something mysterious about him. It’s like he’s searching for something. I have seen it in his eyes, his passion and obsession towards a goal I’m unaware of.There have been times he brought back some weird things with him when he came back from overseas trips but most of the time, it was just weird ritual books. It was a weird hobby of his to read all that stuff but since it was just a reading hobby, no one said anything about it.It was a cloudy day, the atmosphere was dark and I stood outside the cafe looking
