The Devil's Bride Chapter 113: Fears
Lyra finished the last online business meeting with Dame and Zin, feeling exhausted. She leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh. "I'm so tired," she said, rubbing her eyes. Dame shrugged and said, "You’ve done a ton of meetings this afternoon. I think you are prone to experiencing something like that since you have worked too hard, Miss Lyra. You need a break." Zin nodded in agreement. He took a deep breath, trying to control himself from talking about really negative stuff, just as he and Dame had promised not to do anything to even hint at it, and he wanted to make sure that he also did the same. So, he did his best to change the topic whenever he felt like his talkative tongue wanted to slip up. "Speaking of breaks, you still haven’t told us about what you did when we were out on that weekend trip," he said. "Tell me, Miss Lyra, why did you make me and Dame go with Rhian and Raine that time?" "Why? What’s wrong with it?" she asked. "I thought it was a great idea. You
The Devil's Bride Chapter 114: Knock
Derrick sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room, scrolling through the photos on his phone. He came across a picture of him and Lyra laughing and holding hands. The photos that he took of her eating, casually sitting, and watching something on her phone made him chuckle. Although most of the photos were blurry since he wasn’t well aware of the proper ways to snap photos yet. The last one in his gallery was a shot of Lyra peacefully sleeping like a beautiful angel on her pillow, the same night he decided to leave. He couldn't help but smile at the memory."The space between us had been killing me endlessly," he whispered as he zoomed into her lips. "I knew that this was going to be tough on my end, but I did not expect it to be this difficult." Derrick sighed as he swiped back to the top of the folder just so he could look at her face for even longer. Staring at it for three whole days was not enough."I hope you have been eating well, my love," he said. "Don’t worry, I am doing f
The Devil's Bride Chapter 115: Trio
Rhian and Raine were busy in the kitchen, putting the finishing touches on the dishes they had been preparing for the past hour. Rhian was carefully garnishing a plate of seared scallops while Raine was slicing fresh herbs for the pasta dish they were featuring that day. The kitchen was filled with the warm aroma of herbs and spices and the sound of sizzling pans and clanging utensils. Their employees have been seen to be perfectly understanding each other; the synchronization that they have while doing their specific tasks without affecting or bothering others is a true measure that they have finally mastered the space and the work. Rhian and Raine could agree, everything is much easier now than on the first day when they were so clueless and helpless. As they were in the middle of their preparations, Lyra suddenly walked in, surprising them both. "Hey, pretty girls!" Lyra greeted them with a low voice, doing her best impression of a mediocre male who wants to act cool and hip. "I t
The Devil's Bride Chapter 116: Ominous
Behind Watson’s HotelElvis Watson, the CEO of Watson's Hotel, recently called out Lyra Villerio for her alleged bad behavior as a business partner. According to Watson, Villerio was only interested in taking over the hotel and did not consider the welfare of the staff.In a statement, Watson said, "Lyra Villerio has been a disruptive force in the hotel business. She has been trying to take over Watson's Hotel without considering the welfare of our staff. She is only interested in her own personal gain."Watson also accused Villerio of neglecting her responsibilities as a shareholder. "Lyra Villerio has failed to fulfill her duties as a shareholder. She has not been attending meetings or contributing to the company's growth."Derrick rushed inside the mansion with his eyebrows raised. "Zin, tell me that you can delete everything that was posted online." Lasers almost shot out of his eyes because of how riled up he was. The news that he saw online and the messages that Zin had shared i
The Devil's Bride Chapter 117: Wait
Derrick's heart raced as he navigated through the busy streets towards the restaurant. He was eager to see Lyra and make sure she was safe, but the worry in his mind grew with each passing second. He had not been able to see her face to face for a few days, and now their meeting was tainted because of the bad news and this big problem. As he approached the back entrance, he dialed Lyra's number and waited for her to answer."Hey, my love, it's me. Are you okay?""Hmm," Lyra hummed in response."Can I come in through the back entrance to get you?" Derrick's voice was strained with concern. "Or are there reporters at the back too?"Lyra's response was hesitant, and her voice sounded shaky."Derrick, I don't know..." she trailed off, making him feel even more stressed."Love, is everything okay? What happened?""Huh?"Derrick sighed and said "Are you alright? Did they happen to get to you already?""No, they haven't," she responded. "But yes, something happened.""Message?" Derrick raise
The Devil's Bride Chapter 118: Where
Lyra, Rhian, and Raine were huddled together in their small restaurant office, their heads bent in concern as they waited for Derrick to arrive. Lyra had been nervously pacing around the room, her hands fidgeting with her phone as she constantly checked for any updates from Derrick."Where could he be?" Lyra asked, her voice filled with worry. "There is no way that he's getting here this late."Rhian tried to calm her friend down. "Maybe he's stuck in traffic or something," she suggested. "You know how crazy it can get during rush hour." Rhian glanced at her phone, making her well aware that it's past that time already.But Raine had a sinking feeling that something was amiss. "I don't think it's just traffic," she said slowly. "He said that he's near the back already, right?" she added. "What if something happened?"Lyra's eyes widened in fear. "What do you mean?"Raine took a deep breath and thought, "Maybe he got stuck by the entrance?" She sighed and scratched her head. "What if h
The Devil's Bride Chapter 119: Nowhere
Zin knew he had to tell Dame what was going on. He couldn't keep this a secret any longer. He rushed towards Dame's room without even knocking, his heart heavy with the news he had to deliver."Dame, we need to talk," he said, his voice shaking slightly."Zin, what's going on? Is everything okay?" Dame asked, concern evident in his voice. He immediately stood up and forgot about all the documents that were in his hands. He threw it at the bed in an instant and faced his friend.Zin took a deep breath. "No, it's not okay. Miss Lyra wasn't able to meet up with Master. I think something might have happened to him," he said. "I can't even think right now; everything is just heading straight to the dumpster! What the fuck is going on?"Dame's voice grew serious. "What do you mean?" He nervously asked. "Where is he? How about Miss Lyra? How is she? Is everything alright on her end?""Of course she is worried. She has no idea what to think of right now."She must be extremely devastated then
The Devil's Bride Chapter 120: Attack
Zin woke up early the next morning, his mind still filled with worries about Derrick's disappearance. But that's not all there is. He is also still bothered by the fact that the people online would have been yelling their heads off just to make sure that Lyra was being grilled for being an evil witch in disguise. He took a mental note to wash his face before he dove right in since there was a slight chance that he wouldn't be able to get out of it anyways through out the day. After he was done freshening up, Zin made sure to order breakfast before opening any other social media app. He was too good at avoiding the notifications on his phone; he's just that good whenever he knows that something bad will just ruin his vibes. Picking out great food to start the day comes before anything else. Right after that, he headed downstairs to wait for Dame to wake up. It's only six in the morning; it's too early for his friend, but he has a feeling that he'd still wake up early for today. He s

"It’s already seven; where is she?""I swear, Zin, they told me that they would be home immediately; they were just in the restaurant; what would take them so long? They can walk from there to here and it will only take an hour.""I think we should have followed Miss Lyra around as well," Zin replied to Dame. "It is much more difficult for us to take good care of her when we are still focused on the office job. It’s going to risk her life even more. We made a really bad decision; I am already calling it." Zin bit his lips and sat back down on the couch, looking out of the window to see the exact moment that the security people and Lyra would arrive back home. "I think it’s better if we just tell her exactly whats happening. It could really be the best option, but we ignored it like a psycho and chose the risky approach.""I know that trusting other people for Miss Lyra’s safety is a little bad for us to do, but it’s a matter that should be stopped by humans, right?" Dame stated. "If s

"It’s been fine," Lyra happily smiled as she spoke with her friend, Rhian. "I know that you two might think that I am lying, but I swear, I am doing a lot better this week. I am trying my best to have my best life.""I know you are really worried because of your relationship with Derrick; Zin has already told me that," Raine joined in as she placed two huge bowls of shaved ice dessert on the table. "He had told me that the two of you had a really bad fight. He asked us to be extra nice to you because you are really sad about it.""Yeah," Lyra lied. "But we were able to talk it out.""Of course, nothing will be resolved when you put time and effort into communicating your real feelings and your true emotions. It’s really great to hear!"Lyra nodded once again. She was not able to tell her friends that everything they were talking about right now were thoughts and pieces of information that appeared out of nowhere. Dame and Zin had informed Lyra one week ago that there was a rumor roami
The Devil's Bride Chapter 148: Pure
"Dame!" Zin rushed inside the mansion with sweat dripping from his forehead. He saw how Dame’s eyes grew big in surprise, and before he could even say anything to him, Zin had already snatched his cold beer and chugged it right in front of him. "What happened to you?" Dame looked around, checking whether there was someone chasing after Zin. However, aside from the beautiful and calm view of the pool behind him, there was nothing. "Why do you look like that?" Is there someone chasing after you? Are you in trouble?" "I don’t think I was being chased," Zin said. Dame rolled his eyes when he answered. "Then why do you have to come in here as if you were about to die or something? You stressed me out within the few seconds that you arrived." He grabbed the bottle of beer from Zin’s hand and took a sip from it as if claiming what was his. "What’s wrong with you then? Were you able to visit Master?" "I did," Zin answered, sitting beside Dame. "I actually did a lot more than that, and I r
The Devil's Bride Chapter 147: Hers
As Zin soared higher in the darkened sky, he marveled at the view before him. The borders of hell and earth were marked by a jagged line of jagged rocks that extended as far as the eye could see. The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, and the sky was a deep shade of crimson that seemed to bleed into the horizon. In the distance, he could see the dark silhouettes of mountains rising up against the fiery sky and the occasional flicker of flames dancing in the abyss. It was a desolate and terrifying landscape, but one that Zin had grown accustomed to over the years. As a demon of hell, he had traveled to the borders many times, but this time felt different, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong. Going closer to the edge, he felt tightness in his chest. It's always been this way whenever he flew closer to crossing the borders. He could already feel the breeze coming from the land of the living, but his gut feeling seemed to have won that tim
The Devil's Bride Chapter 146: Warning
Elvis sat in his grand office, surrounded by opulence and extravagance. The room was adorned with expensive paintings and rare collectibles, but the air was thick with tension. Wendy, his best partner in crime, sat across from him, her face set in a deep frown. The only sound in the room was the soft ticking of a gold-plated clock on the mantle. Despite the grandeur of the room, there was a sense of foreboding that seemed to permeate every inch of the space. Both knew that they were treading dangerous waters with their plan to bring down Lyra, and the tension between them was palpable.Elvis sat across from Wendy in his office, his eyes locked on hers as he pitched his latest plan."Wendy, I need you on this one," he said, his voice low and urgent."What's the plan, Elvis?" Wendy asked, crossing her arms."We need to bring Lyra down," he said, leaning forward in his seat. "Something that we always do, but this time it's going to work out!"Wendy listened to Elvis with a sense of appre
The Devil's Bride Chapter 145: Wish
Dame was surprised to find Lyra sitting alone in the dark living room with no lights on. He had brought lots of food back to the mansion, hoping to lift her spirits, but seeing her like this made him worried. It was really bad timing that Zin decided to try and go back down to hell that night. Dame could tell, just by the vibes that had hit him straight on, that he wouldn't know how to deal with Lyra like that."Miss Lyra, are you okay?" he asked, placing the bags of food on the coffee table in front of her. He wanted to kick himself in the face. The look in her eyes is the perfect tell that she is not doing alright, but he still chose to ask, just to make her feel bad that it shows. "You know what, let me just get the lights; don’t even bother," he whispered before walking directly to the switch.Lyra looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "You are already back?" she asked, confused as she watched the leaves outside the window dance. "It’s already dark outside," she sa

A black bird flew into Derrick's shoulder as he was calmly watching over the newly appointed demons in his realm. As soon as he was able to look into its eyes, his mouth fell wide open, and his jaw hit the floor beneath him. He won't be able to forget those eyes, and he would never forget how Zin looks when he's in his real form.Immediately, Derrick stood up to snap his fingers in the air, and without waiting for another second, they were inside a dark room. Derrick's own little space whenever he wanted to stay out of everyone's sight. His only hiding spot from all the demons that would often try to bombard him with a bunch of questions or sometimes the yells of those souls who were being punished."What are you doing here?" he immediately asked. Right before his eyes, he watched as Zin transformed into his human form to hug him. "Zin, is there something going on? Why are you back here? You crossed the borders again?""Master, it doesn't matter right now," he said, still clinging on
The Devil's Bride Chapter 143: Partners
Derrick paced back and forth on his desolate throne in hell, tormented by the images and thoughts invading his mind. He kept seeing Lyra, his beloved wife, surrounded by sinister figures and cloaked in shadows. The more he tried to push the visions away, the more they persisted. Even if he knew that he'd only bring chaos into Lyra's life, he found out that he wouldn't be able to give it up that quickly. Especially after he spent an entire month's worth of time in hell reminiscing about the moments they had together."My dear, please be safe out there," he whispered, wishing that it was only the thoughts in his head that kept on messing him up and not real visions or premonitions of what was happening or what was supposed to come for Lyra in the land of the living. If that was the case and he's stuck down in the depths of nothingness, he will for sure not be able to move forward. He is afraid of what he might end up doing just to stop that."I do not need much," he stated. "I only need
The Devil's Bride Chapter 142: Daughter
Lyra sat at the breakfast table, pushing her food around with her fork as Zin and Dame bid her farewell. "We'll be back as soon as we can, Miss Lyra," Zin said, giving her a reassuring smile. "Take care of yourself," Dame added, placing a hand on Lyra's shoulder. "If you need anything, just call us." Lyra forced a small smile. "Thanks, guys. I'll be fine. I just need some rest, that's all." Zin and Dame exchanged a worried glance before Zin spoke up. "Are you sure you don't want us to stay? We can handle the hotel issues later." Lyra shook her head. "No, it's fine. You guys go ahead. I'll take care of myself." As they gathered their things and made their way out of the mansion, Lyra was left alone with her thoughts. She couldn't shake the conversation she had with Lucifer out of her head, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. "I can't believe he would do something like that," she muttered to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "Why would he want to
