The Devil's Bride Chapter 87: Face
Lyra sat at the kitchen table of the busy restaurant, surrounded by the sounds of sizzling pans and the murmur of conversation. The warm light of the stove cast a soft glow on her face, illuminating her troubled expression. She absently stirred her tea as she thought, torn by her dilemma. She knew without a doubt that Raine and Rhian were her trusted friends, and she could always count on them. However, she also knew that the messages she had received were filled with unsettling warnings, and she didn't want to add any more stress to their already busy lives. She watched as her friends bustled around the kitchen with a smile on their faces, and she wondered if she should keep her worries to herself. The decision was a difficult one, and she sighed, feeling the weight of responsibility. Yet she knew that she couldn't face this alone and that she needed the support of her friends.Lyra took a deep breath, steeling herself for what was to come. She knew that the time had come to tell her
The Devil's Bride Chapter 88: Little Devil
As Elvis and Wendy walked around Lyra's restaurant, they were immediately skeptical of the ambiance. Elvis smirked and said, "Well, this place doesn't look like much, does it?" Wendy rolled her eyes and replied, "I don't know about you, but I'm not expecting much from this joint." She chuckled and clunked her purse as they walked around, saying, "This is not going to last; I already know." The hostess led them to their seats and handed them menus. Elvis raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, great, plastic menus, just what I wanted." Wendy snickered and added, "I bet the food is just as cheap." They quickly glanced over the menu, making comments on how everything sounded bland and overpriced. When their waiter approached, they were already judging the service. Elvis remarked, "We have been calling for Lyra. What is taking her so long to come out here?" "Call your boss," said Wendy. "You will definitely regret it if she takes one more minute to come out." As the worker left, confused, E
The Devil's Bride Chapter 89: Distance
"I am telling you, Elvis, that girl is something else! She has been pretending to be a weak little bunny, but she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing! I hate how she changed up as soon as she had the money!" Wendy kept on blabbering about Lyra and how she changed up after getting everything that she did not have before: company, money, and power. "And to tell you the truth, I can’t believe how fearful you looked when she began to talk! Are you sure that you have a plan, Elvis? To be honest, you look like you are talking without knowing what your next step will be like. Are we on a sinking ship? You better tell me now before it all goes to sh*t!" "To what?" The old man yelled. The driver of their car almost accidentally hit the brake because of how shocked he was. The old man yelled at the top of his lungs, almost popping the veins on his neck. "To jump into her side and help her take me and my whole empire down? I am watching you, Wendy. I saw how your eyes flickered as soon as she mentione
The Devil's Bride Chapter 90: Changes
Lyra was tense and on edge as she sat in her restaurant office, still shaken from the confrontation with her evil aunt and father. Her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles white from the pressure. Her breaths came in short gasps, as if she couldn't quite catch her breath. Her eyes darted around the room, taking in every detail as if searching for a way out. Her heart was pounding in her chest, a drumbeat of fear and anxiety. She felt trapped, caught between two people she had always feared and never fully trusted. Every muscle in her body was coiled tight, ready to spring into action at the first sign of danger. She was completely tense, completely on edge, and completely uncertain of what the future held. Lyra took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She reminded herself that her aunt and father had already left and she was safe, at least for now. She repeated a mantra to herself, focusing on the sound of her own voice and the slow, steady r
The Devil's Bride Chapter 91: Calm
Derrick and Lyra drove home, the sound of the rain tapping against the windshield creating a peaceful ambiance. As they drove, they reminisced about their first drive to the beach together, which was as peaceful as this is. "Do you remember our first drive to the beach?" Lyra asked with a smile. "Of course," Derrick replied, his eyes twinkling with fond memories. "It was such a beautiful night; the stars were shining brightly, and the waves were crashing on the shore. It made me realize that even if everything on land changed, the stars were still the same, dancing and playing in the night sky." Lyra nodded. "And we talked for hours about our hopes, dreams, and fears. I felt like I could really open up to you and be myself. I saw a whole new side of you, something that I never knew I needed." "That was the night I realized that I could never exist without you." Derrick added, squeezing her hand. "It was a very scary moment for me, knowing that even if I am powerful and capable of
The Devil's Bride Chapter 92: Storm
The old man, Elvis, was reading an article about Lyra's Restaurant with a sense of satisfaction. The article highlighted the challenges that the restaurant was facing, including the controversial hiring of women with questionable backgrounds to run the establishment. The article that Lian posted was perfect for what he wanted. It might not be blatantly showing Lyra’s name and the people that they were trying to expose, but it would serve the purpose that he wanted it to serve. It is enough to make his daughter think about their past encounter and wonder if she made the wrong choice. It was enough to make Lyra see how terrible it is for her to act all tough and mighty in front of him. He knew that Derrick had the capability to ruin his business, but he was also aware that targeting Lyra and those women would give him enough time and perhaps a chance to get out of this hell pit."This is perfect, Wendy! Have you read it?" Elvis asked, his evil smile growing bigger. "I knew that dragging
The Devil's Bride Chapter 93: Why
Lyra's POVIt's still dark outside, but I can hear the sounds of Derrick's steady breathing next to me. I slip out of bed, trying to be as quiet as possible so I don't disturb him. I make my way to the kitchen, flicking on the lights and getting everything I need to start cooking. I can already feel the excitement building inside of me as I start to prep the ingredients for breakfast. I'm determined to make this the best breakfast Derrick has ever had. I move around the kitchen with ease, quickly and efficiently, as I put together a delicious meal of eggs, fried rice, and sausages. As I open the door to head back to the bedroom, my heart beats a little faster. I can't wait to see the look of surprise on Derrick's face. And just as I suspected, as soon as I opened the door with the tray of food, Derrick woke up with a start, rubbing his eyes and sitting up in bed. I tried to give him food, and we enjoyed giggling about anything we could under the sun. It was a beautiful day for me, but
The Devil's Bride Chapter 94: Serious
Derrick sat at the kitchen table, staring off into space, his mind lost in thought. Zin, his loyal servant and magical friend, watches him with growing concern. "Master," he said softly. "What's troubling you? I can sense that something is wrong."Derrick looks up at Zin, a haunted expression on his face. "I had a dream last night," he said. "Lucifer was calling me back to hell. with wants me to return there and fulfill my job as a little devil, shouldering some of his work instead of meddling in the affairs of humans."Zin's eyes widen in alarm. "That's a serious matter, Master," he says. "If even Lucifer is getting involved with our matters after all those years of him letting us run around and do stuff, this might have turned out to be as serious as we thought."Derrick sighs deeply. "I don't know," he says. "I just can't make that decision. I am not going to go back down there. I am not ready to do that.""But master, Lucifer called for you.""I love Lyra, and I don't want to leav
