I didn't know how I arrived home. I didn't remember when I had my dinner with Arsenio. The entire evening was a blur.
"Adeline!" someone waved their hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and focused on the person in front of me.
"Are you listening?" Arsenio asked me with a frown, as if, trying to read my mind. I didn't even remember what I was thinking about.
Maybe, I was thinking about a particular blue-eyed man.
"Sorry," I probably looked dumb in front of him.
"I asked you, is there is an extra bed or a blanket with you?" he repeated as if talking to a toddler.
"Yeah… Yeah, yeah I do." I nodded my head and walked to my closet to retrieve an extra bed. That I have with me whenever I have a sleepover with Lisa, my college mate, now she lives in New York.
Good old days!
"Are you okay? You look very much dosed off the entire evening." He pointed out.
"I'm fine.

I turned around to come, face to chest with Arsenio. My mouth dropped to the floor, my eyes widened at the sight in front of me. He was Arsenio but he had this huge white feather behind his back. He looked like an angel from heaven. Oh my god! He wasn't lying all this time. He was indeed from a different realm. The thing that I saw on television was him after all. What the hell was going on in my life? *************** Arsenio's Pov~ We were going dress shopping for me, after Adeline's work here. I really appreciate the way she provides for me even though I was a complete, stranger to her. But I couldn't rely on her. I must find a job during my stay in this realm. I met a middle-aged man today, while I had my early morning run in the same park that I visited yesterday. He told me that they were looking for a security guard in his office. He thought that I'll be fit for the position due t
The Girl We Desire 9. The New Disguise
The other gang members had discussed something about, supplying something to Jedrick. I thought back to their conversation, I think the bald guy told him something along the line of supplying it in the upcoming week. What it might be? Were they trafficking people? Or was it drugs? Let us wait and watch. After buying for Arsenio, we bought some men's suits and clothes for me. He raised his eyebrows at me in question. I gave him a wink and paid for our things. I made up my mind, whether the devil likes me or not he was going to take me as his secretary. ************ The very next week I was standing in front of Jedrick & co, it was a sixty-seven-floor building. It looked so posh and intimidating. I was wearing a suit and my hair was tucked inside my front lace wig. It almost looked like real hair. Thanks to modern technology. I thank everything holy because I was not interviewed by Jedrick. I had an i
The Girl We Desire 10. The Devil's Personal Secretary
This woman was entirely different from the woman I saw for the past two days. I could see that she adores her daughter more than anything in this world. Maybe she was not all that she let people see. "I won't be taking her next weekend, I'll be busy." The guy informed my lady boss, nodding at the little girl in her arms. "No problem," she tried to remain expressionless but I could see right through her eyes that she was pleased about it. "Bye, bye, daddy." The little girl waved at the guy. He must be my boss' husband. **************** Adeline's Pov~ Without Arsenio, my apartment looked dreary and forlorn. I didn't realize that his presence was the closest to having a family since my granny's death. I think I would be missing his tease, laughter, and companionship from my boring, everyday life. I was standing in front of the devil's hell. Today I'll be officially taking the position of J
The Girl We Desire 11. He was Hard
We arrived at some snobbish-looking restaurant. It looked spectacular; probably the food here costs more than my monthly pay. The people looked so swanky, the men wore suits while the women were adorned with diamonds and embellished clothes. I looked down upon my attire and realized that I was acting like a man. I looked at my temporary boss; he was talking to the manager of this restaurant. As soon as the manager heard his name, he visibly shook and escorted us personally to our booth. A middle-aged man and a woman with blond hair in her early thirties were already there. Once they saw him, they stood up and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Jedrick, I hope you're doing fine." The man greeted him by shaking his hand with the devil. The woman just gave a slight bow at him as a sign of respect and gave me a small smile, which I returned immediately. "Yes, thank you. Please have a seat, Mr. Montgomery." My boss told Mr. Montgomery. He almost looked norma

That night I went to my bed at half-past eleven, feeling extremely exhausted. Thankfully no one discovered my gender yet, with that thought in mind, I settled on my bed and closed my eyes. My phone pinged with notification. I ignored it and raised my comforter to my nose. I felt like I was floating on clouds. My phone pinged with another notification, making me groan. Come on, give me a break, I was exhausted to my bones. I rolled on my stomach and reached for my phone. My eyes were drooped due to sleepiness. I opened my phone and my eyes stung with the little light that emitted from its screen. I usually put my phone in a dark mood and today was no exception but still, it affected my eyes. After my eyes got adjusted to the light, I opened the message clumsily. It was from my dear boss, it read, *Mr. Sandros, As my personal secretary, I expect you to be at my home, sharp at six O'clock every morning, to organize my morning rou

I could see his defined muscles underneath his see-through shirt. It looked like it was carved out of white marble. I took the tie and stood on my toes to tie it around his neck. I could feel his hot breath fanning my cheeks. I was breathing through my mouth to calm down my racing heart. I looked up and his eyes were solely focused on my face. I had a feeling that he was trying to study my reaction and trying to observe my face. I diverted my eyes to his neck instantly and tied it around it with perfection. I was a sucker for a guy's neck. I knew it sounds weird but I'm telling you this, he had the most beautiful neck. His neck was naturally protruding with veins, not too much, just the right amount to make it look gorgeous. It looked so strong and masculine. I could see three beauty spots on his neck, and his, Adam's apple was well defined. God! I sounded like a pervert. Adeline, focus on what you were here for, he was your enemy. He was in the mafia

I was printing some copies for the meeting that would be held this evening, the soft sound of the printer working, filled the room. Suddenly, someone entered the room with the door screeching. I turned around and it was the brunette from the reception. Her face lit up seeing me; she gave me a polite smile and entered the room with a stack of papers in her hand. "Mr. Sandros, right?" she queried me and went near an unoccupied printer. "Yes," I nodded my head in confirmation. She seemed like a good person maybe we could be friends. "What is your first name again?" she asked me all of a sudden and started to make copies of her papers. "Reynold, Miss…" I trailed and I realized she hadn't given me her name. Her eyes widened as if, she had forgotten something. "Oh! My goodness, I haven't introduced myself. I am Betty Fernandez." She rushed out and I could see her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I laughed at her cuteness and waved her off,
The Girl We Desire 15. Torturing the Torture
"Rehor! Happy seeing you, it has been a long time since I met you." The redhead chirped, there was a taunting smile on her face. She must be Ms. Knight, I thought to myself. I scanned the room for Arsenio and he was standing at the far corner to my right. There were also two other bodyguards in the room. They all were standing so close to the wall as if, they were the shadows. Arsenio's gaze shifted to me and he looked taken aback by my presence. Well, that was expected, I never told him about my job or anything about me, for a matter of fact. He scanned my entire body up and down which made my body, left tingling. He raised his eyebrows at me as if, he was questioning 'So this was why you were purchasing men's clothes ' I shrugged my shoulders at him and concentrated on my boss who was busy grinding his teeth. I was grateful that Arsenio didn't approach me. There were only seven people in this room. My boss and I on one hand, on the other hand, stood, Ms. Kn

The door closed behind him on its own as soon as he entered the bedroom. He placed me gently on the bed and gave me a heated look, which made me shiver with anticipation. He started to undo his dress shirt while maintaining eye contact with me. I gulped at the sinful sight in front of me, slowly his marble-like skin started to peek out of the undone buttons."H-Hades…" I whispered his name with a stutter. I had no idea whether I was protesting against his actions or calling him to devour me. I tried to sit straighter from my lying position but he discarded his shirt as swift as the wind and in a blink of an eye he was hovering above me.His hard chest was pressed against my soft feminine one. He intertwined his hands with mine and forced them flat against the bed. I was caged under him and he was burning hot as if he had a fever.All of a sudden, my mouth felt dry as a Sahara, so I licked my lips to moisturize them. The action drew his attention from my e

"Then, do you love me?" he asked me without batting an eyelash. My heart skipped a beat at his question. I liked him as a person but deep down I knew that I don't love him. I didn't say anything for a while, I just looked down at my feet with my slumped shoulders. I heard him heave a sigh, "It is okay Adeline, I can understand. You don't have to reciprocate my feelings." His voice sounded poignant. I lifted my head and took a glimpse at his face with a culpable expression. "Hey! Don't look so down, Now, I can date other girls of this realm. That red one looks hot, don't you think?" He cheered me up and winked at a tall blonde with a figure-hugging red dress who walked by us. She gave him a lingering look as she passed by us. I hit his arm playfully which made him chuckle at my red face. "Come on, let's get going. We don't want to anger your man, now, do we?" he teased me. I blushed at his words as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we

The chair screeched as Jedrick stood up to his feet with a feral look on his face."Boyfriend?" he clenched out the word with malice. Arsenio remained unaffected by his outrage; instead, he just smirked in his direction and tucked his hands into his pockets."Yup but we both haven't discussed it yet after our first kis…oomph! Hey!" I stomped on his feet and shut his mouth by interrupting his sentence with a death glare."Ahaha…he is just bluffing, just don't mind him, Jedrick," I told him as I laughed it off awkwardly. Before Jedrick could lash out at us, the waitress arrived with our meal. Jedrick composed himself with an intake of a deep breath. As I was about to sit beside Arsenio, Jedrick grabbed my arm and pulled the chair beside his for me to sit.I gave him a baffled look but he only glared at me as if I was a brat. I instantly looked away from his intimidating eyes and took a seat near the window sill and Jedrick placed himself besid
The Girl We Desire 42. The Hell's Gate II
After our little chat, Cerberus transformed into his real form. Oh boy! I thought that he was so big and intimidating when I first met him, but he was thousand times much bigger and scarier now. He had the body of a single dog but he had three heads. He looked exactly the same way how he was described in mythologies. His eyes were yellow and snake-like. His fur was dark as the midnight sky; it was such a contrast to his eyes. His teeth were literally the size of me, it was sharp and dripping with saliva. He gave me an adorable frown as if he didn't want to part away from me. I smiled at this big baby, and he bent his head to my height. I petted his snout. "Let's go, Adeline," Jedrick told me from my behind. I could feel his heat radiates off him. he was always very warm. I could feel him even without touching or seeing him. I always had this feeling of being protected whenever I was with Jedrick even when I thought he was a mafia boss. Cerberus whined

“Jedrick?” I called him softly. His face was only a few inches away from mine and my arms were wrapped around his neck. I could hear the crunching of leaves beneath his boots as he walked with me in his arms. He raised his eyebrows at me. “What? You are not my boss anymore,” I shrugged with an innocent look. I could see his lips slightly twitch at the corners, and he shook his head at me with a serene look. “Can I ask you a question?” I asked him. “Do I even have a choice?” I thought about his question for a second and grinned at him toothily. “Definitely not,” I replied him enthusiastically. His eyes were shining with laughter. “What is your age?” My question made him pause in his tracks. He looked down at me with an unreadable expression. I looked up at him with my big gooey eyes.

He looked at me with a funny look as if he was laughing internally at my horrifying expression. Wait a minute? Was he lying to me? His face didn’t give away anything but there was a possibility of that. I scrutinized my eyes on his face and saw him biting his lip. “You are lying, aren’t you?” I asked him with my evil eyes. As soon as I asked this, he burst out laughing, and it was the most beautiful sound that I had ever heard. “Nope, I am telling you the truth. You should have heard of what you were saying last night. You were moaning my name, and you completely took advantage of this poor soul.” He told me with an innocent look. I could say that he was lying from the way he was looking at me. I frowned at him and smacked his head with a pillow. “You are lying!” I yelled at him and kept on smacking him. He burst out laughing and he didn’t look like he was bothered by my pillow fight. “You should have seen your face. You looked mortified as if

His eyes looked unyielding. It took me a second to process what he was saying. When I realized what he was implying, my eyes widened like a saucer. I shook my head at him in disbelieve and I was speechless. This was absurd. "You are impossible. I am resigning my job and I am leaving this place tomorrow on the first flight to Seattle." I told him angrily. "And you mister! Open this damn door this instant!" I ordered him and gave him the stink eyes. He looked at me with laughter in his eyes which made me to scrutinize my gaze on the twitching of his lips as if he was trying hard to hold in his laughter. He took long strides and stood in front of me. I stood my ground with a firm face. He bent down to my height by placing his palms on his knees. I leaned my head back at his proximity. He observed my face with his dark eyes. There was a lopsided grin on his face which made him look all smug but at the same time, it made him look like a Greek god, oh look
The Girl We Desire 38. Jealous Hades
Adeline’s pov~ I had no idea what was going on in my life anymore. I couldn’t believe that I was standing in front of the Greek god and that too, one of my favorite characters from Greek mythology. The moment I saw Arsenio with his wings was the moment I started to believe in mythology. But even then I didn’t believe in the concept of god. I was not the most spiritual person on this planet. The moment my parents died, I lost my faith in a higher power and that was the moment I turned into an atheist. I became so angry with higher powers when I felt lonely and abandoned and my grandmother’s death was a cherry on the top. Though I understood that she died of old age, I felt like everyone abandoned me. My whole view on spirituality and the concept of god had changed today. I was awe-stricken when he opened the door with the snap of his fingers. All these times I thought that Jedrick was a mafia boss but in reality, he was only punishi
The Girl We Desire 37. New Problem
“Hades! Don’t hurt her! Open the door, you have to see this!” Helena’s voice came behind the door. Adeline adjusted her clothes at the sound of Helena. She looked disheveled as if she had rough sex with me and the thought alone made me to swallow. I was having this sinful image of her in my mind and only my father could help me. I focused on Helena’s words and frowned in her direction. I snapped my fingers together. The door opened and there stood my grim reapers aka devils. Helena sauntered inside my room, followed by Grudgecous, Skull, and Victor. Adeline looked startled by their sudden intrusion and by my ability to use magic. Since she knew that I was a god there was nothing to hide from her. She moved a little closer to me, beside my bed, as soon as she saw them approaching us. Helena was holding a document in her hand and she looked tensed and worried, even Victor looked tensed. He was the most playful grim reaper among them but he the most dangerous wh
