The doorbell rang as Shada ran excitedly down the stairs. Shada quickened her pace and opened the door.As soon as Shada came face to face with the man in front of her, she was mesmerized again. Almost perfectly handsome, neatly dressed in a formal black suit. Even his jet-black hairdo made Shada sparkle."Demian, is this really you?" Shada was surprised, she was amazed and enjoyed every detail of Demian's appearance which was different from usual.Demian cleared his throat softly and then showed his grin. "Don't stare at me too long. You'll fall in love."Now both of Shada's cheeks had a cherry-like reddish tinge. Looking at the handsome man in front of her made her blush for a long time. She felt like slapping her own cheeks because she had to remember that she already had a fiancé.Then Shada's attention was drawn to the black luxury car parked in front of her house. Shada blinked her eyes in disbelief."You have a car?" Shada gaped, there was a sense of amazement in her.Demian ju
Dad? Was that really Dad? Shada wondered in her heart."Huh... how could it be?" she whispered again. Actually, she didn't know whether her mom and dad were still in Toronto or not after the formalization of their divorce. Demian was driving so fast that her vision became bad.Shada must have seen it wrong. Some people were also standing near Jennifer about to cross. That person must only look like her father. Shada's mind decided.In the midst of his lightning drive, Demian briefly turned to Shada who seemed to be burdened with many thoughts. Demian cleared his throat loudly to break the quiet atmosphere that hung for a moment.Shada was immediately stunned and hit Demian hard on the shoulder. "Huh, what a shocker!" she said, pursing her lips.Demian laughed widely. "That's why you shouldn't daydream in the car. Especially in a car with a vampire." Demian mocked.Shada was annoyed. She folded her arms in front of her chest and made an annoyed face. Not long after, she checked her cel
Demian was transfixed. He felt the warm flow of his blood rushing in sync with the laughter of the men in front of him. Everyone was laughing at Demian's defeat which was so easy for them to do.Some of them also raised their fallen friend. Witnessing together how intense pain attacked Demian. Demian looked so tormented.However, it didn't last long. The smiles on their lips faded as Demian's eyes grew darker and more piercing. While looking angrily at each of the men in front of him, Demian pulled out a knife from his stomach.Everyone there widened their eyes with their mouths agape. There was something different about the danger they were facing tonight because Demian was now grinning proudly.Some of the men automatically stepped back as they put on a wary look."Who told you to do this? Answer quickly!" Demian shouted at the men.There was silence. They were all silent, not daring to answer. Meanwhile, cold sweat began to flow because of the fear that gripped them."Then, I'll ki
Max turned off the phone and placed it on the nightstand to his right. His eyes were fixed on a woman who was shuffling toward him.The woman's body was still covered by a white bathrobe. Only then did she remove the bathrobe very gracefully.The woman is now wearing a transparent black lace lingerie bustier set. The corset material covering her upper body pressed against her chest, making her breasts seem to rebel and poke out.She flicks her long peanut brown waves to show off her two assets. The fresh scent of peonies wafted from her hair. Max was immediately intrigued. He had to admit, her breasts were very large and seductive.“You have to satisfy me tonight, Jennifer.” Max said, unable to take his eyes off the sexy body of the woman in front of him.Jennifer leaned closer and looked into Max's clear blue eyes. She hissed out a half moan.“Sure, you'll be satisfied.”Max flashed a faint smile. While watching Jennifer's breasts hanging down from the corset, Max cleared his throat
A twenty-year-old young woman in an elongated white coat was startled by the results of the object she had just examined. She was surprised enough to cover her mouth.Afterwards, she decided to immediately bring the results of her research to be reported to the head of the laboratory where she worked. The girl's black hair was in a neat ponytail. Her narrow eyes portrayed a clearly defined anxiety.Her steps were quick and firm towards one of the rooms in this predominantly white place. She walked through a long hallway until she arrived in front of a door. She knocked loudly a few times until a handsome middle-aged man opened the door.“What's wrong? Is something going on?” asked the man in front of her. The man could tell from the light-skinned girl's worried look.Even her voice was melodious. The man's light bronze-colored eyes were calm yet firm. The combination of his golden blonde hair and pale skin added absolute artistic value to a mature man in his forties.“Here, Mr. Darwin
“What did you say, Ruth?” Shada frowned, not understanding. Although Ruth's voice was low, Shada could catch what her friend was talking about.Ruth choked up, not realizing the words from her mouth that had just slipped out.“Eh? No─it's nothing. I mean you shouldn't feel sorry for other people, Shada. Especially Jennifer. Like I said before, you have to be careful,” said Ruth rather confused. Hearing Ruth's explanation, Shada sighed heavily.“I know you don't like Jennifer and Richard. But, Ruth... Jennifer just had a disaster. Do you really have to tell me that?” Shada couldn't believe Ruth's hatred had blinded the woman's heart. Even her sense of caring had been dulled.“You have no idea what you're dealing with, Shada. Trust me.” Ruth snapped with emphasis.Shada screwed up her face. She was fed up with Ruth's cautionary attitude, as if everyone around Shada needed to be wary. But, wait a minute─“Wait a minute. Do you have any special abilities like Demian?” Shada asked suddenly
The sky darkens, signaling nightfall. The stars hang and scatter across the vast landscape of the night sky. Their beauty is like competing and coexisting with the moon.Tonight the moon above the balcony of Shada's house is perfectly round, very beautiful. But it still makes Shada sad. Ironic indeed.Shada had been waiting for Demian to come. But until now the man had not appeared in front of her. Shada stood on the balcony while moving uncomfortably. Her fingers tapped on the wall dividing her balcony, occasionally looking back. She looked at the clock on the wall, which was already eleven o'clock at night.“Tsk... where are you?” muttered Shada uneasily.She was repeatedly fooled by the sound of the night breeze caressing the trees in front of her. She thought it was Demian. It turned out to be a normal movement between the wind and the trees.More and more, Shada was disturbed. Demian hasn't come yet either. She had been waiting for him for more than an hour. Shada wanted to ask m
Instantly Demian bent his face. What did he just say? Paid in full? It couldn't. Demian's unacceptable words echoed throughout his mind.The reason is, because of Darwin his life has changed instantly. Maybe his old life wasn't as good as what he feels now. But deep inside, Demian did not want and did not accept a destiny that changed his life 180 degrees overnight. It would only put more distance between him and his first love. It could even be lost.Vampires could never be with humans. It was clearly written there. Coexistence might still be possible. The vampires in the human world always concealed their identity. Working and eating like ordinary humans.But to marry with humans and produce cute children? It felt like nature would reject even more firmly.Vampires and humans seemed to live in the same place, but in different dimensions. Like a coin with two different sides.Demian brushed the nape of his neck and moved awkwardly. “I make no promises. If I can, I'll bring it here.”
The image of a handsome and dashing man flashed at the scene of the accident where two cars collided violently. Meanwhile, he also heard the loud sirens of police cars and ambulances blaring in his ears.He hated how noisy car sirens were. His bright bronze eyes were strained to observe the extent of the damage to Shada's car. He snorted, his breath caught. It was unfortunate why this had to happen to Shada. Especially since he couldn't meet the woman last night.His eyes then shifted to a man in a hat with severe injuries all over his body. Especially on his head. The man was closed and his hands drooped weakly as the health workers moved him into the ambulance. It was confirmed that the man died on the spot.Demian sighed heavily. Fortunately, he was not too late. The impact on Shada's head was already bleeding profusely. Luckily, the man's car had hit the back of Shada's car. If the badly wrecked part had been where Shada was driving, she would have been beyond help.As soon as the
"What do you mean?" Shada turned her body around and faced Ruth fully."What does Max have to do with Jennifer?" Shada's dark brown eyes blinked rapidly. Curiosity suddenly got the better of her.Ruth sighed again. Suddenly the woman lost her oxygen supply, as if she was being attacked by asthma. She then held both of Shada's shoulders firmly. "This is for your own good, Shada. But there's something inexplicable going on between the two of them. There's something you don't know."Shada looked skeptically at Ruth's very serious face. Even now, the woman's dark eyes were red and teary.Ruth is definitely not playing around. Shada thought.But Shada preferred to deny it. Max was not as bad as Ruth said. She had known Max for about six years. He was faithful and never had anything to do with any woman other than her. Except Morris, of course.Shada shook her head softly and folded her forehead. "You must be wrong, Ruth." Her gaze was incredulous.Ruth immediately snorted and moved in frus
"Tell me what you're working on in this document!" Leo said sharply to Shada who turned to stare at the man.Shada then strode closer, wanting to confirm what the man who was pointing at some parts of the document meant.Shada frowned, not understanding. The parts that Leo was pointing out had been carefully examined and read many times. Shada could guarantee that there were no mistakes in those parts. After all, Shada had made the same document not just once or twice."What do you mean, Mr. Leo?" asked Shada confused.Leo laughed sarcastically while rubbing his face in frustration. It seemed like he wasn't talking to an old employee, but an eight-year-old elementary school student. Meanwhile, Shada was already starting to get annoyed because Leo's attitude seemed to trivialize her."Let me check again." Shada half-snorted, about to take the paper back. But it was prevented by Leo's burly hand."That's not necessary! You should have checked it before it was even printed!" Leo snapped,
Ruth swallowed her saliva with difficulty, too tense to believe a fact she didn't want to believe. How could Max, who was so cold and loyal, be tempted by Jennifer? Besides, what did Shada lack?Shada is more naturally beautiful, good character, always positive. Anyway, Shada is better than Jennifer. Yes, although Ruth had to admit, there were some similarities between the two that she couldn't explain. Other than the color of their eyes of course.Ruth immediately froze and pressed her lips together during the meeting. Oh, why was she the only one who knew that. Ruth was so depressed about keeping such a big secret. Damn it!Ruth averted her eyes, unwilling to look at Max or Jennifer. She already had an ill-feel for the snake woman from the start. Now it was even more so. Ruth had even lost respect for Max. What an asshole! Ruth said to herself.Ruth occasionally stole glances at Shada who was listening to some reports solemnly and calmly. Ruth was devastated. It was a pity to see he
"No!" He groaned as he looked at Shada.Even though his eyes were fixed on Shada who was fast asleep. But more than that, Demian was looking at the future. His future and Shada's.Demian was sad and disappointed. He witnessed a fragment of Shada who was angry and getting away from him. She didn't want to see Demian anymore. Suddenly Demian's chest was tight. He took in as much ambient air as he could. Trying to calm down by filling his lungs with oxygen. What had he done to make Shada stay away from him? Demian tried to analyze.Demian looked back at Shada who was still asleep with a wide-eyed gaze. He was frustrated because he couldn't find any possible wrongdoing on his part."What should I do?" Demian whispered as he gently touched the door that reflected a faint shadow of his handsome face.Demian gave up. He understood that he could do nothing. The future is something mysterious and cannot be prevented. In the meantime, all Demian could do was avoid small mistakes that he might a
