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.

    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

    The boys tried their best to leave Lyra alone to process the events, but when Derrick noticed she was choked up and holding it in, he tapped her on the knee. He wanted to check if she was alright while pushing a glass of water closer to her. But she shook her head and ignored the glass."I'm okay," she immediately said. "I just felt a bit too hungry, I guess." She coughed a couple of times before choking up again with her sobs. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was unable to dry them up as fast as she wanted to. "Goodness, I think I'm just a little messed up tonight.""I can prepare something else if you like!" Zin quickly offered He stood up to run to the fridge and took a second to check what they had. "A sandwich; I can make you a really good sandwich. Grilled cheese or with some deli meat? You can tell me what else you want me to put in it.""No, Zin, it's fine," she said, waving her hand to make Zin sit back down. "This is alright; I can finish this, I swear!"Lyra continu

    Lyra was sobbing her eyes out even before they got inside the room, but as soon as she saw Raine crying, it got even worse. She almost wanted to cover her entire face because of how self-conscious she felt as she loudly cried like a baby. By the way she acted, Raine was clearly still a bit shaken up. She was curled up near the headboard of Zin’s bed, hugging his pillows, and she looked really troubled. She’s struggling to move, but she reached out to Lyra, telling her to move closer. Just as Lyra held her hand, the opening of the door caught their attention. Their cries just sounded even louder as Dame carried Rhian inside to meet with them. She was sitting beside her cousin, and she almost threw her body on top of Raine to hug her very closely. "I didn’t think we’d meet again," Rhian said. "I was so ready to die and face the devil for being such a bad girl," she tried to joke now that she’s with her friends. Of course, she’s back to being the cool and powerful girl once again. She w

    Derrick can't help but feel sorry and guilty that he wasn't able to obey Lyra's wishes. He stood still, watching Lyra sleep peacefully after he tucked her in. Even though he understood well enough why she wanted to keep those memories, he had to do it. It's his own little selfish way of protecting her from the pain and for bigger problems like Lucifer himself. He has to make sure that Lyra won't have anything in her destiny intertwined with Lucifer, and this is the only idea that he has. He wanted to make her forget his face, but deep inside, he knows that if Lucifer wants to do something to mess with him, he's willing to go above and beyond.Just as he was about to lie down in bed with her, Derrick was stunned to feel something fall from his nose. As he touched his nose to check, black liquid came out of it, as if it were his blood. His eyebrows were raised. He never thought that he'd have a nosebleed again. Well, he really hadn't had one since centuries ago. He tried to cover his no

    The new morning came in and brought happiness to the air. The sun was bright, but the heat was just right. It should not be too hot or too cold. When Lyra woke up, she energetically showered and got ready because she knew that a new phase of her life had begun. Who doesn't love new beginnings? Monday, the opening day of a new restaurant that she manages with friends, finally arrived. She doesn't know what will happen to them or what adventures it might bring to their plates, but she is very excited and ready to do everything and face it together. Rhian and Raine also woke up very early. They promised her that she would be the first to go to the restaurant. They wanted to fix something at the last minute and just wait there for their friends to be together on the very first day of their opening. Lyra spent a lot of time thinking about what she should do in order to handle the nerves that kept coming. It sure is stressful, but she knows that no matter how troubled she is, at least she h

    "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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
