All Chapters of The Devil's Bride: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Lyra’s POV After a hearty dinner, I got up before anyone else just so I could prepare myself for what I planned for tonight. I wanted to try what Rhian has told me. It sounded pretty easy, and it’s something that I've never tried before. I wanted to give him something special for tonight. Rhian and Raine told me that it's a great gift and I am not sure if it's a great idea, but I still would like to give it a try. I am not sure about it, at the very least, she told me three simple steps to follow. First, I have to take a shower. Rhian had me buy a set of soaps that she loves the most. It was super pink, and the box alone was a total giveaway that a woman like Rhian would love it. The scent of flowers attacked my nostrils as soon as I opened the lid. She wasn’t lying when she told me that this smells lovely, but, oh my goodness, it was a bit too much for me. However, I know that she knew what she was doing when she led me straight to them. A woman like Rhian would know a lot about be

"Girl, what the hell happened? Why are we here so early?" Raine almost hit Rhian's nose right when she got inside the cute, overly pink cafe when she faked a punch. She rolled her eyes before sitting right in front of Lyra, who was already sipping a tall cup of iced coffee. "You even called Lyra? This bitch rarely slept, for sure. Remember how tired she was?""Nope," Lyra said."I slept all night, no problem.""Bitch, I was the one who didn't sleep," Rhian added. "And when I messaged the group chat, it was Lyra who immediately responded. She was the one who called me first, too. I was happy to hear that she was down to meet up.""You didn't sleep, and yet you wanted to meet up at seven in the morning in this cafe. Come on, Rhian, you live across the street in the apartment building; why can't we just stay there? I still want to lie down.""We can't," Rhian responded. She almost scalded her tongue as she sipped her latte. "It's being cleaned right now.""Huh?" Raine scratched her neck i

It was a wild morning for Robert at the publishing company. He's been pounding his head since early in the morning because he was bothered by Lian. Everything that he had ordered her to do Lian was adamant that she should be the one to take on the project for the Business Mag, but when he gave it to her, she did everything she could to make it all wrong. When he ordered Lian to behave and just do her job, Lian messed it up by going in with ulterior motives that Robert soon discovered through the stories of the other crew members. Once he realized that Lian had offended the people who could literally bring them so much money, Robert panicked and called Lian and told her to apologize as soon as possible. But instead of listening, Lian chose to hang up on him without saying anything. Then, as soon as he had the chance to sit down and think of ways to make sure that Derrick and Lyra from Pluto Hotels wouldn't back out of the magazine feature, he received a complaint from Dame."Angelica!"

The party was great. Derrick and the boys arrived with drinks for all of them to enjoy. It was rushed, but everyone was pleased to see variations of dishes on the table. There was an abundance of seafood dishes, steaks and grilled fish, fresh salads, and, of course, desserts. What caught Lyra's attention was the chicken soup. It was hearty and warming; it reminded her so much of her mother that she almost began to cry the first time she took a sip.It made Rhian happy to know that everyone liked her cooking. Raine was also proud to be the sous chef. She even bragged about how well she cut the carrots for the salad, which, of course, attracted a diss from Zin. He told her about how the mandolin would have worked much better. The comment earned him a glare from Raine and a laugh from everyone else. The entire time, all of them had a great time eating, but Rhian had a better time watching how Dame kept on getting more food for himself. If him stuffing a bunch of food in his face wasn't a

Lyra's POV It was a beautiful day. It seemed so perfect. Derrick did everything to give me whatever I wanted. When I asked for him to grill us some meat, he did it without asking me anything. He had no idea how to do barbecue, but he was so excited that we were on vacation together that he tried to pretend that he knew what he was doing. Although the fire was too big and the beef looked like it was about to be cremated, I gave him a huge smile and showed him my two thumbs up just so I could see his confidence rise. I haven't tried to eat steak on skewers before, but I think he's onto something. I just have to remember to put a lot of salt on the sauce that I'll make later; he really used at least three granules to season the whole two-kilo pack. Derrick is very knowledgeable at a lot of things, but I figured out that he's not great with cooking. "Love! Do you think these are done cooking?" "Yeah! Put them on the plate!" I think they've been done for at least ten minutes, but when
