2024-10-29 19:42:56Sage brought me to their table. Lorie was nowhere to be found. Only his friend is left. Sage offered me the seat next to him, so there I sat. Jonas faked a cough that made my cheeks burned. With his swearing earlier I’m sure he saw what happened.
"Kaia, aren't you singing?" Livius turned to me. I felt Sage's hand touching my shoulder. His arm was on the ledge of my chair. It was like putting lines on his territory.
Jonas playfully smirked.
"Maybe later ..." he glanced at Mama who was karaoke. I don't want to ruin their moment. Besides, I think I like it better ...
"You want us to duet? I'm good!" Livius suggested that made Sage hissed.
"Silly! There might be an earthquake when you sing!" bara ni Jonas na natatawa.
"I'm ashamed of you! You're good at singing, huh? That's why when you locked up that Crim student, you were ignored! You were so stupid!"
"She has a boyfriend, idiot! So she doesn't touch me because she's loyal to her

"Outside were Livius and Carson. It's eight o'clock so they have to leave. "I nodded. After they left Livius I immediately returned to the room. I lay down on my bed, wishing I could sleep but ended up staring at the wooden ceiling for a long time.After idling for almost an hour, I grabbed my phone. There were messages there from Rose but I didn't open them. I looked at Sage and I's message thread. He still has no reply. If so, he was actually with Tania as Carson said.I sighed bitterly and turned my phone off. I put it on the side table. I tried to sleep again but I still couldn't really sleep.I just went down and mixed Milo. After I drank that, I went back to the room. I thought the hot drink would help me sleep but it didn't.I looked at the wall clock. It's 9:30 PM. Usually, this is the day Sage calls on weekdays. We texted last night. Today I have not received any text from him. Maybe he got tired of it. Who is the man who will just settle
The Demoness Alpha 60: It Terrifies Me
After foundation week I was busy with activities like booths and whatnot. Sage visits me once or twice a week.And I am contented with that. I know he's busy too because he's been here for the last year. I don't even want him to remember me. I am busy in school. I know he also have his own requirements.Even so he never fails to text me every day. He always finds a time to remind me to eat and do my homeworks. He calls me at night, too. That is if we are both idle.I sighed while on stage, helping to decorate there for the Miss Asian College to be held tomorrow.I was asked by my blockmates to represent the Accountancy Department. A professor of ours also asked me about that. But I refused.My interest is not in line with pageants. That's why Rose was our representative. He didn't want to at first because he didn't really participate in such things.But I pushed him because my classmates might still be pressuring me. Aside from that, Rose is
The Demoness Alpha 61: You're Not Allowed
That’s why I can’t be bothered as we set up the booth. Rose was not there because she was preparing for later. But our blockmates were there to help."Your samples, put them there, Frank," I commanded a classmate. He fixed his thick glasses and immediately followed what I said. He looks nervous. He almost spilled the samples. Fortunately, his hand was fast."Hey Frank, you're too obvious!" Rowella laughed."She's dreaming of Kaia!" said a male classmate of mine.Frank bowed and returned to his former position. I rebuked the teasing of my classmates."It's really good and Damian's group isn't here now. Last year, they just messed up the booths," Wena said."Yeah, eh! Damian would have been handsome in case the devil still beats the habit!" Rowella agrees.I did not speak and continued to cut the cardboard. That's also my opinion of Damian. I just really hope we don't cross paths again so that he doesn't mess with me anymore
The Demoness Alpha 62: Unexpected Judge
"Are you comfortable here?" I asked Sage as he sat on the stool I gave him. We were on the side of the booth.I stood in front of him while he looked up at me. I looked at the goods. Rowella is busy with customers. I glanced at the food that was there before turning to Sage."Would you like to eat first? We have dumplings, tempura, squid rolls, hotdogs. Do you eat like that? If not, there is other food in other booths. Do you want to buy me there?""I'm eating, Kaia. But I'm still full. Let's just have lunch together later."I nodded."Can I help you?"Wena and I heard that so they looked at our behavior. Frank and Ivo fix the banner across from the booth."Oh, don't! We can do this! Don't worry, we won't feed your girlfriend to customers!" said Wena and laughed awkwardly.I was about to correct what she said but Sage talked first. I just kept my mouth shut."That's good to hear. Just tell me if you have heavy things to

His forehead creased and looked down on something of under the table. Eventually I realized he was typing on the cellphone because soon I beeped because of the message from him.Sage:Get a proper seat, please. The girls around you are quiet aggressive. You might even be pushed there. I'll surely make them pay for the damages."Shit he's looking again!""Oh my! Shedding panties!"I nodded and kept smiling. I typed a reply.Me:It's fine. I will also be back backstage later. I'm just okay here. Just avoid looking at our direction. They’re just getting more and more lost.Sage:I'm watching you. Maybe you can.I looked at him. He looked at me again. I smiled and shook my head slightly. I put the cellphone in my pocket when the production of the contestants started. Sage seemed inattentive on it, though. I notice that often, he thinks of me. When I couldn't stop myself, I texted him and told him to focus on the
The Demoness Alpha 64: Goodbyes
"Oh my god, Kaia! I never thought I would be the first runner up! I mean, did you think that? My first time!" said Rose when she approached me after taking a picture of the other winners. The Miss Asian College remained on the stage, though. Judges and teachers are included."And why didn't you say judge Sage? I was shocked when I saw him among the jurors!""I also do not know.""Come on, let's picture!" he said while handing the cellphone to a student who was there to take pictures of us. I smiled faintly. Then I looked at them Sage. He was looking at me. I heard the laughter of the teachers and it was as if he and your winning woman were being teased.I averted my eyes."Congrats, Rose! You were great too, Kaia!" said Warren as he approached us with Arvic and their other friends. Arvic also brought a bouquet for Rose."Wow! Thank you ha!"I looked up on the stage again. Now they are pushing to picture your winner and Sage. They are
The Demoness Alpha 65: Like A Fairytale
When Friday came, I looked to see if I could go out on Saturday. Fortunately, there are no group outputs to do. I have homework but I can do it on Friday night or maybe on Sunday. It won't take much time.So when I got home, I immediately told Mama about the plan. She didn't go against with it. He just said that we should just be careful on the trip. She also wants to talk to Sage before we travel.I slept happily that night. After I texted Sage to come with me I went to sleep right away. The next morning, I received a text from him. It was said that he was going to travel here. It was sent around 4 AM.I acted and was ready. At eight o'clock Sage arrived, right after I had taken a bath and tidied up. I only wore a white high waist shorts and black shirt. I also capped to avoid the heat.Sage brought coffee and cupcakes so that's all I ate while we were on the trip. I couldn't have breakfast because I didn't want to wait for Sage. Mama talked to him befor
The Demoness Alpha 66: What He Wants
"Wow! That's nice!" I exclaimed when I saw the high lighthouse in front of us.In front of it is a high cliff, marking the beautiful end of El Fuego. The rays of the afternoon sun and the blue sky above reflected in the sea stretching beyond the cliff. It almost looked surreal. Everything felt surreal."Let's go up," Sage said once looking at the lighthouse.When I nodded, he took my hand and guided me into it. I pressed my palm on his to feel more of its warmth as we walked on the stairs of the lighthouse.If I had been amazed before when I was still downstairs, I was even more amazed that I was already upstairs and could almost see everything. My lips parted in amazement. This is beyond wonderful.I gripped on the bannisters as the sharp wind blew my hair. I let you ripple like the sea in the distance."It's nice here, Sage!"Sage leaned against the railing. He raised an elbow there and bowed as he stared at me. My heart was beating

I almost shivered when his hand touched my waist. Every flick of his tongue was full of ardor. I was so close to his shoulder when he lifted me off the bed. Crouching in front of me like a dominant hunter ready to end his long famine, he pulled my nape aggressively as he gave me an alluvion of intoxicating kisses. A strange heat flared up in my body. His hand skillfully found the zipper of my dress and maneuvered it, while his hot kisses were traveling down to my jaw. I flinched at the caress of his hand on my back. My body was shaking and it feels like I couldn't hold on to my precious sanity any longer. My inhibitions and rationality were all thrown out of the window, leaving my mind empty. With my kind of lifestyle, I could have easily gave in to my past boyfriends who asked me for it. I’m not ready yet, that’s what I always say. But the truth is, I was searching for the man who could make me feel like this. I can’t give that to past boyfriends because I c

Holding my books, my props rather, I went in, and the chatterings were silenced.It wasn't long though, when I heard soft murmurs."Grace? So she's the one who will help Mrs. Rellis present the topic? Pero first year lang siya. Don't you think that's a bit off?" the girl on the third row whispered to her seatmate."Ah. It's a good thing I didn't continue to be absent. I wouldn't miss this," the man in the back said. His group looked at me as if I'd be pleased with their smug smiles."Yeah, bro. Grace's beautiful. I really don't know why so many are afraid of her. I mean, why would they be scared of an angel's face?"I could feel my lips almost twitching. Angel? I wonder if I'd let them see my fangs, would they still think the same?"Pabida. Isn't this an insult to us? We're in our third year and then we will be taught a first year without even taking a course?"Jealousy. One of the emotions very common among humans. Nothing new.

My eyebrows rose."In that case, why are you still here?"His lips parted a bit and gave me a critical look. He didn't speak immediately as if he knew I would be offended by what he was going to say."Tita suddenly ordered something so Cesar left on my motorbike. I will take you home.""What ?!""Yes, Chanelle."Lintik!"What is Mommy's order and all of a sudden ?!""I don't know. Cesar never said that."I sighed and rolled my eyes. Push me into the back seat. Why is it that he was not the only one ordered instead of my driver.Mommy and Daddy took a long time to get home that night. It's often like that. So every time like that, often, I deliver dinner to teresa or say to eat later. I don't even want to keep up with Euan.I rehearsed the lines of my audition piece before going to sleep. With my effort, I'm sure there's a good chance I'll get it. So the next day, I was really positive."Good luck, Ch
The Demoness Alpha 126: Love in Hatred
Of course! Why would I prioritize anything else if I knew my family was falling apart? I would have booked the earliest flight the moment I heard the news."Of course, I also don't want to ruin a special event in your life. Especially since you announced you had a big endorsement offer in the States."I sighed. Coming back to Philippines was supposed to be just a short vacation. And even before going home, I decided to accept the offer. While I was studying my film degree, I also accepted some modeling jobs and catwalks.At first, I only accepted the offer because I was bored and wanted to try. Eventually, I realized it's fun and I was actually good at it. So I started accepting offers one after another. My parents didn't have problem with it.Mommy even offered to help me land in good offers, since she was also a model before, and many acquaintances. But I declined because it seemed unfair to others who eeffort to go to go-sees. I don't want to be chosen

I was a little terrified when we looked at each other. I immediately turned to Mommy."Mom, he looks unpleasant. He's too thin, pale and has very dark eyes. He looks like the nerd and malnourished version of Dracula–""Chane!"I stopped and bit my lower lip."He's a very kind boy. He's poor and has no relatives. He has nowhere to go. Can't we help him a bit?""Then, bring him to the orphanage?"Mommy greeted me."We're not planning to adopt him, okay? We'll just help him a bit. You'll remain our only baby, Chanelle," she assured me and kissed my forehead.I pouted. I looked at the boy again and when I saw that he was also looking at me, I hid a little from Mommy. I'll remind Daddy later to double the locks on my door. Maybe later it's Dracula's slave and he's planning to suck my blood at night.With another person living in our house, it was really hard to adjust at first. I got used to just the three of us Mommy s

"What ?! You're just suddenly popping up there! What are you? Ghost?"His brow raised."How about you? Why are you standing there in the middle? You're even modeling in the car park?"This idiot!"What do you care? Mind your own business!" once turn away from him and walk away.Though, it's not long when I heard his voice again. He followed me."Where are you going, Chanelle? You've already passed your car."I closed my eyes tightly, not looking back at him."I know! I won't use that car. Froilan already has the key so how can I use it?""And what car are you in?""Cinderella's carraige?" my sarcastic answer."Very funny, Chane.""Oh, I'm glad I humored you!"A tug on the wrist stopped me. In shock I even released the clutch. I glared at Euan. If I could just blow out the fire, he would have been cooked for a long time."You're being dragged! You've been here before, ah? What the hell i

"Chane Estrella?"I smiled at the acquaintances. They were shocked that I came."Chane! You're back! When else?""Just hours ago," I replied and looked around. It's just that I couldn't find Daddy because there were other acquaintances to greet him."Hello, hija! Are you here to accompany your Daddy?"I smiled at the old woman. Family friend so I let go."Yes. Actually, my Mommy should be with her now. But something urgent came, so I'm here on her stead.""Oh! But I thought ..." she trailed off and laughed a bit.The malicious glint in her eyes told me what she's thinking. I plastic smiled and passed him. Supposedly friendly, but really just want to gossip.The whispers of the envy did not escape me, the ones who can never reach my level, so the envy just goes through the motions. I continue walking without looking at them, unbothered by whatever they're talking about behind my back.An actor greeted me. I would h

"She offered me and my father's campaign team to stay here for the campaign. She promised a comfortable place and good accommodation. Is that what you're saying?""She didn't promise anything else?" His lips stretched in doubt. The look is stinging."What else would she promise?""Like marrying me?"There was a ghost of smile on his lips."She brought you here. She won't do that just to help. It's obvious that she's pairing us."I grinned and shook, laughing. I never thought he could humor me that way.Her eyes narrowed as if wondering why I was reacting that way."Why? You're afraid to be tied up?" I taunted."So you know Mama has such a plan? You want to marry me?"This brute! Very arrogant too really. Is he thinking that every woman in the world is dying to marry him? Ridiculous."Don't worry. I'm sure your Mama has no plans to marry us. And I don't want to marry you as well."Her smile faded. For

The first courses and drinks were served. I was expecting that we'll talk about family issues that night, but since Tita Glesilda was there, if not the business then the campaign is in question."Actually, Leandra wants him to lead the campaign there in Antique this summer.""Really?" Tita Glesilda looked at me."Yes, Glesilda. She's that passionate to help her father's campaign," Mama said proudly."That's good! If so, where will she stay in Antique during that time?""We have a mansion in San Ardiente. She can stay there with the campaign staffs.""But who will take care of them there? Do you have househelps there?""Ah. Right! We haven't been there since Mama died so only the caretaker was left. But ... I think we could just send househelps ...""Oh, that's too hassle, Ramona! How about this ... I'll house them in our mansion in Vida Riqueza?"Lucius and I looked at each other. He raised an brow and smirk."Are
