2021-10-07 06:59:19I smiled brightly as I read the comments that were on the fan site. Just as Erica promised, she posted a review and had a popular entertainment blogger give her an interview which caused the likability of Azrael’s book to improve by forty percent.
“I’m glad to hear that the sales are leaping. Congratulations Campbell.” Reina said as everyone clapped before I smiled.
“Real power move getting the president to speak for you.” Sven said as I elbowed him.
“All the credit goes to Erica and her team. It wouldn’t have been possible if not for her.” I said as Sven smiled.
“The way you say that is like some love-stricken puppy.”
Jade chopped Sven’s head as he held his head and glared playfully at Jade with a teasing smile.
“Everyone knows he and Azrael are a better match than a woman he clearly has no sexual interest in, and let’s not forget Azrael is worth it.” Jade said as I waved my hands

“Hmm.” I moaned as the scent of ginger tea invaded my nose buds. I peered my eyes open before I rolled in the opposite direction, my back turned to whoever was behind me.I felt the weight of the bed sink again in my front before someone placed a hand underneath my head.“It’s time to get up, love.” Ben said as I whined.“M’tired. One hour.” I insisted as he helped me up.“You can have that after breakfast. It’s almost eleven in the morning.” Ben pleaded.I felt something warm hit my throat as I opened my eyes before drinking the warm liquid. Ben leaned my body against the bed before I touched my forehead.“Are you okay?” Ben asked, and I nodded.“My head hurts a little.” I replied.“It’s expected since you were drunk.”“Drunk? The drink was so sweet.”“How many shots did you have?”“Five? I think. How did I get home?” I a

I’d love to stay and comfort him, but I have somewhere to go and I’m worried he’ll do something scary if no one watches him.” Reina said as she placed her hand on her hip.She tossed me the house key card before she pointed at the back.“His at the back.” Reina informed before she left without a noise.I walked to the back of the house where I saw Leslie sitting down on a chair with a black kitten on his thigh, purring low as he absentmindedly stroked.I walked up to where he sat before I sat beside him and yawned; that was enough to steal his attention.“Oh, it’s you.” Leslie looked dejected as he said that.He didn’t say my name? The source of his mood was obvious.“I’m not gr

Azrael was calm as he stared at the box before he sighed and closed it like he had received a disappointing gift. He lowered his head and shoved it aside before le leaned back.“We should report this to the police. I’ll also call management and demand why the staff didn’t check through the parcels.” I said as I raised my phone, but Azrael snatched it before I could unlock.“There’s no need, kid; let it be.” Azrael said as I frowned.“How can you be so calm about this? If this person knows who you really are, then there’s a chance she could hurt you. You are my responsibility.” I argued as Azrael pulled out a cigarette and lit it.“You’re new to handling this situation, so to be safe,” Azrael stared at me. “Stop coming to my house.”I was shocked Azrael would suggest something like that.

I stared hard and long at the folder that contained our assumed stalker Nabi. As Azrael had said, her real name was Hannah Wellston. She would be twenty-eight years this year and her portfolio wasn’t exactly impressive nor the company’s standard but she worked as an intern and her weekly reports were actually very pleasant. She was pretty without a doubt with the sweetest smile almost like a child that it was almost hard to believe she was someone mentally unstable. In terms of relative, both her parents were alive, betas. She has a younger brother and an elder sister as well; sadly, the only address written was her parents and I’m honestly sure no sane parent would give their address to a stranger especially one who couldn’t tell a believable lie. I sighed before I heard the door open and hid the folder quickly in my bag because I didn’t want Ben to know. He tends to be too much of a worrywart than me. “Welcome home babe.” I said as I kissed Ben at t

The company was a lot larger than I expected. DW corporation was a conglomerate whose main source of income was producing AI recognition systems for homes. Our house, Reina’s house and thousands of people used their system for security because it was almost impossible to hack and since they went to the market, breaking in and domestic robbery drastically reduced. I was surprised by the amount of people that came; a lot of political figures seen on TV even the vice president of the country. Activities held in Passion where I worked was nothing compared to an annual anniversary of a very old company. “Executive Campbell, I’m glad you could make it.” A hearty voice belonging to an elderly man caught Ben and my attention. “Director Priest, thank you for the pleasant greeting. I believe you haven’t met my husband, Leslie Campbell.” Ben introduced. “A pleasure to meet you sir.” I said as I stretched my hand before he shook it. “You really must be lo

The bathroom door opened and Ben came out, ready for work. He approached me and sat down before he touched my forehead. “Your fever dropped, that’s good.” Ben said as I smiled weakly. “You should go to work or you’ll be late. You’ve already been late too many times because of me.” I said as Ben kissed my head. “My job comes after you. You’ve been sick lately Leslie, are you sure you don’t want to go to the hospital?” “Hmm. I’ll be fine if I rest.” “Are you sure you’re not pregnant?” Ben asked and I hugged his waist. “No, I’m not. I take my pills; we use a condom and I did two tests with a kit last week.” I replied as Ben breathed out. “I’ll be home early, so rest. No working, no stress, no reading, rest.” Ben said as he kissed my lip before I chuckled. “I made no promises.” I joked as he pointed his finger at me before he left the room.

“I’m sorry I’m late.” I apologized as I sat down opposite Erica.“It’s okay, I took the liberty of ordering. Hope you don’t mind.” Erica said and I nodded.“Thank you. My lover didn’t really want me to leave because I am still recovering from pneumonia.” I said as she waved her hand.“It’s okay. We should get to work; I have an engagement I can’t afford to miss.” Erica said as I nodded before I placed my laptop on the table.Erica and I were trying to create a platform for Azrael to be able to communicate with his fans since he didn’t host book signings or fan meets. Of course, I had to use uncle Bob’s love to get him to make it an official announcement before meeting Erica.The project would be paid for if selected the winner and the runners-up would get a chance to meet and spend a day with Azrael.Erica wasn’t hopeful to be the winn

Erica had my hands handcuffed behind my back before she put on the television. I hated to admit it but she had carefully planned everything and no amount of miracle I could think of increased my chance of survival if shot. This wasn’t a time to be helpless; I needed to drop Erica’s guard down, enough to dial the police or anyone then have a conversation with her so they could understand the situation I was in. “Erica please may I have some water?” I asked as she stopped biting her nail. “Save that for your final moments.” She said as she waited patiently for the news to say something grand. “I really need water or I might die of dehydration before you kill me. I had some salty crackers when I came home and I haven’t taken a drink.” I requested before Erica sighed and walked away towards the kitchen. The moment she entered, I stood up and grabbed my phone. It was difficult doing things with my hand tied behind my back but I managed to separate

I enter the kitchen and start preparing school lunch for my kid.Ida joins me in the kitchen around six to make breakfast for everyone except I package Azrael’s breakfast because he wakes up when the driver takes Niko to school.Azrael wakes up around ten and eats breakfast late if he eats at all. On days Azrael wakes up early, I don’t work at home.I continue to unwrap wedding gifts from family, friends and fans, sorting things to give out and donate with the servants until I get exhausted.Our habits didn’t change after marriage, and we’ve been married for five months, but things were different in a good way. Pleasant.At least until now.I bolted to the bathroom and crouched in front of the toilet, gripped the toilet seat and hurled in the bowl.

LeslieThe soft strands of the brush glided carefully around my cheeks and stopped. I opened my eyes and stared at the mirror.The makeup artist did a terrific job making the makeup subtle. My hair was ready, cut shorter than the original length and gelled.Ancel opened the door, surveying seriously with a small note in his hand. He stayed at me and pulled out a white rose from the vase in the room.He placed the rose in my pocket and patted it.“Perfect but I liked the white suit better.”“You were going to make me wear a long veil if I wore that and this is my second marriage.”“You and Azrael would match but the blue isn’t bad. Soft and stable and I get to see you marry.” Ancel said and the door opened.Dad entered with a bouquet of hydrangeas and minor flowers.

The doorbell rang, and I opened it. Kaiyo stood there with a pout on his face and glared at me. I spread my arms across the door and leaned back a little.“You’re not here to dump tomato juice on me again, are you?” I asked, and he blushed.I smiled and lowered my arms.“I came to apologise, so listen closely, because I won’t say it again.” He puffed his chest and placed his hand on his hip. “I’m sorry for splashing juice on you and saying embarrassing things.”“Stay away from Mitsuki. You don’t deserve him. He’s mine.” I teased, and he turned red.“S-stop teasing me. Y-you be kissing my feet. I came here today.”I patted his head and smiled. “Do you want ice-cream? Sundae?”“What flavour?” He shook his head and wiped his mouth. “I’m not a dog.”He acted like Becca’s, one of Isaac’s twins in her teenage stage that doesn’t want to be smouldered by adults. It’s difficult to find innocence and pure naivety at his age these days.Everything I wouldn’t describe Lucas, me or Oliver as.“Com

They were all waiting, so I raised my hand to reveal the wedding ring.“Yes!!!” Everyone cheered.Some high-fives and hugged me.“Congratulations!” Isaac said and grinned. “You’re marrying my brother again. Welcome to the family.”We laughed at the joke, and I nudged Isaac.“I can’t wait to tell everyone, and it was all thanks to me.” Ancel gloated and pulled out his phone.“Hold on there cowboy, Lucas might have already beat you to it. He was the first person Azrael called to while we were in Japan.”“I’m still going to spice it up more. I still have a picture of the ring.” Ancel said and started typing.“Thank you.” I whispered to Ancel. “For helping me with the ring.”Ancel nudged me and smiled. “Anytime. Patronise my company to decorate your wedding. I’ll give a discount even though your fiancée is one of the wealthiest living things in the world.”“Of course.

No sleep for me if he was awake, talking my ears out on all the places he wanted to go.I never want him to cry or feel lonely when I’m around.“I can’t wait to take a lot of pictures.” Leslie said, and I sighed.“I’ve missed hot spring baths.”The train stopped, and we headed for one of the popular temples in Kyoto – Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine.We took a lot of pictures with a temple guide giving the history of the temple. I didn’t believe in any gods, unlike my parents and Leslie is Christian, so I couldn’t understand his fascination with temples.“Should we buy a charm or two? Maybe a souvenir?” Leslie asked.“Kid, these god statures aren’t for decorations and children touch things they shouldn’t. Let’s stick with the papers that won’t leave t

We sat down and stared at Dr. Steve.My chest was heavy and my hands sweaty. I exhaled to ease the discomfort in my gut.“I have a few questions.” Dr. Steve said, and we nodded. “When was the first time you noticed your ward’s condition?”I stared at Ben, and he nodded in understanding.“When he was three. Nikolaus has always responded to the colour red as a baby, so I thought he liked the colour and yesterday, I confirmed he sees everything as red, with few exceptions.” I narrated, and Dr. Steve nodded.“What exceptions?” Dr. Steve asked.“Himself, me and objects that are actually the colour red.”Dr. Steve stared intensely at the both of us and exh
