"What are we going to do with this much doughnut?" Lyra was shocked to see a box containing a dozen doughnuts sitting in front of them. "I want to eat something, yes, but there is no way that we are going to finish all these.""I think they're giving it to us for the photos," Rhian said. "Look at the other tables; they're literally drowning in doughnuts!""I wish there was something else other than these," Raine complained. She turned to check out the cafe. "They just opened, huh? They don't have anything to sell yet. Look, they're not even selling their own food."The cafe looked fairly new. There are a bunch of pretty-looking designs. Cutouts of cakes and cupcakes were floating throughout the walls and ceiling. "Dolila," the huge signage up front read."This place is super cute!" she commented. "But why do the employees dress up like butlers? They didn't look like they belonged in here.""You're actually right about that," Rhian agreed. "I was honestly thinking about it; they need
Lyra watched as the woman from the other tables got carried away by other men who had just entered the cafe from the back. She sees the tears falling from their eyes, and it doesn't help the three of them, who have been looked at by everyone. They are like dolls with emotions and souls, but they can't do anything for themselves until they are played with and manipulated by other people. She feels a constant pain in her chest because of the faint moans she hears. The three of them stick together, but they can't do anything else for each other other than make their presence felt.Every time Lyra looks at Frank, his malicious look never goes away. The girl is more afraid of what will happen to them. But she forced her to cheer her up so she wouldn't cry. She doesn't want to give satisfaction to bad people because of her crying. She wants to be strong for her friends. And one more thing: she knows that Derrick won't let her down. She's sure that he won't let her get hurt.The man that Lyr
Lyra’s POVI am useless and weak once again. I can’t move, I can't talk, and I can’t even breathe well. As I inhaled through my nose, my lungs rejected the oxygen as if a heavy block had been placed on top of my torso and I couldn’t take in any air. I felt awake; I am conscious, but there is absolutely nothing that I can do. I can’t twitch; I can’t even close my fist. I’ve been in this situation before. I have been weak and useless; I’ve been helpless.It was scary. It was weird that I could feel nothing but fear, and none of it was for me. I could see Rhian and Raine, both weeping beside me, as we were all in a dark room, lying on a huge bed. The cries and grunts of the other women from the room next door made my blood boil. It felt like an itch that would bleed after a ton of scratching but wouldn't stop feeling that uncomfortable. It felt dirty on all the places that the man had placed his hand. But no matter how disgusted and frustrated I am, I can’t bring myself to cry. My tears
Derrick was restless because of all the pleas he was hearing from Lyra. The whisper he heard disappeared. Like him, Dame and Zin are also restless. While the two hurried to find where the girls went, Derrick did not stop looking for a connection between the two of them and Lyra. Because it was a bit difficult for him to control his abilities, he couldn't just suddenly appear in front of his beloved."The bodyguards said that the last time they followed the three inside the mall, they were unable to find where they were wandering around," said Zin. His hands were shaking as he looked at Dame."Mall?" he shouted. "Is this what Master is saying? You were so sure that someone would kidnap people from a mall, and it turns out that the girls would be there!""That's why she begged me like that. I didn't know that the situation would turn out like that. If only I had known earlier, I might have done something before they were taken!""We can't just sit here and do nothing!" shouted Zin. Tear
"Why do you seem so angry with me, Derrick? You did this to yourself, and because of your terrible sin, you are here now to be punished. Shouldn't you be happy to see me again? From a sinful soul, I gave you a part of my kingdom to rule over. You became a devil because of me. I let you have the power that I have. I gave you a punishment that is the most terrible, but it comes with power.""I didn't ask to be a Devil. I didn't aspire to be high above all the demons in hell.""I know," Lucifer replied. "Do you think I would punish you for that if I knew you wanted it? How could it be suffering? Blame everything that happens on you. It's all your fault. Everything you did when you were alive, blame everything on your past."Derrick clenched his fist because of what Lucifer was saying. He was irritated by her smiling as if there were no problem between the two of them. The first time he saw Lucifer has not been erased from Derrick's memory. The real ruler of hell. Because of Derrick's det
Lyra's eyes were closed as she felt her surroundings. She was sitting while holding both Rhian and Raine's hands. She tried to encourage her friends while trying to call Derrick to mind. Little by little, she just laughed because she didn't know what was going on in her brain. She couldn't believe that she was trying to talk to Derrick using her brain, even though she knew that the boyfriend couldn't hear the voices that weren't thinking pure evil.If only Derrick could feel her every emotion, she's sure he'd understand why she's so desperate to call him. She doesn't know what the outcome of everything will be, but she tries to show her friends that they have nothing to fear. Her brain is starting to get loud again. It's telling her a lot of dark thoughts that she can't even tune out. All she wants to do now is fall apart and crumble. to let her real emotions rip through, but she knew that she had to be the one in the right state of mind. She has to be the one whom her friends can lea
Dame and Zin did not hesitate to follow Derrick everywhere he went. When he ran, they just followed without a single question. When Derrick entered the compound, they were sure that the women they were looking for were there. They wanted to save the three immediately, which is why they didn't stay outside like they had discussed before. They had just heard the commotion inside a large house when suddenly Derrick disappeared in front of them like a bubble, and they immediately knew which of the four houses he went to. Many men rushed from different parts of the compound to stop Derrick from what he was doing just as Dame took a step toward the door."It looks like we're in the area of the syndicates," Zin whispered. "We will run out of energy here if we make them sleep; we might be punished because of that," he added while looking at the almost twenty people rushing towards them."Do you know how to fight?" Dame asked. "If we can put them to sleep with our hands, we are not abusing our
It was bittersweet for Derrick to finally hold Lyra in his arms. He was pleased to see that she was alright, but he can't stop blaming himself for not protecting her well enough. He should've never left her side; he should always stay close to her. His mind won't let him experience silence. But at least they were finally able to comfortably rest. Coming home wasn't a problem; he was able to use his abilities to transport all of them back to his mansion. However, seeing how weak and traumatized they seem to be, it broke all their hearts.Dame, a cold, emotionless demon, has never felt such pain in his heart as when he felt Rhian trembling in his arms. He sat on the couch, holding her closer to his body as she continued to sob. She must not even have realized how they appeared at the mansion within a minute, for she's still hiding her face in his chest. Zin was too weak to face Raine's cries. He chose to tap her eyes and make her fall asleep to save himself from being guilty. As soon as
