All Chapters of Sold To The Devil: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Dashing out of the warlock's chamber in the way I did asked for punishment; but I couldn't care less. Talking about the events of my life back at home with my father was too much to handle. It wasn't easy reliving it as I tried to tell the story to Lord Blade.The mention of my father also brought back the news of his arrest which I had successfully pushed to the back of mind. Maybe meeting him would finally put me at peace? I wasn't sure but it didn't hurt to try...or did it? Only time would tell.I rested my head in my knees as I slumped onto the floor. Tears had already made their way down my face but no voice left my mouth. I silently cried until my tears ran dry.After staying for a little longer, I got on my feet and made my way to the bathroom to get out of my uniform and take a long warm bath before changing into something comfortable.Drawing a warm bath, I stripped and got into the warm water. It instantly relieved the tension of the whole day of me working in the kitchen. M

There was a brief silence before Caspian replied. "Are you sure you want to see them? Because that also means that you'll need to face your f--""Yes, I'm aware" I cut him off. "Fix the meeting--preferably by next week if they don't mind" I added."Okay then...I'll talk to them. If that's all, I'd like to get some rest""That's all. You may proceed to get rest!" with that, I cut off the mind-link and decided to get some rest. Lying down in my bed, I closed my eyes and tried to slip into a deep slumber. But instead, I kept on tossing and turning before letting out a frustrated sigh.Having to face the people I left behind bothered me. To receive a message from them was already a surprise to say the least; let alone see them in flesh again. Keeping that aside, taking Flora to meet her father tomorrow also meant having to see him. I couldn't promise to keep my calm.It wasn't about the money but rather the level he'd stoop to. Everything about him was completely disgusting. Excluding hi

I patiently waited for the arrival of the demon royalties. Caspian and Flora had left about 45 minutes ago. Pacing around in my study, I received a link from Lenox. "Sire, the demon royalties have arrived!" he said. Walking out of my study, I descended the stairs and quickly went over to the double doors of my manor to greet my guests. A black car came to a halt right in front of the doors and soon after, the young royalties stepped out of the car.Prince Luke and Princess Marina, a demon and a mage respectively, wedded to each other just to maintain the peace between the two kinds. I bowed in respect since my title was from the lower ranks. "Spare the formalities, Lord Blade! We're still too young for such respect from a man like you!" Prince Luke flashed me a warm smile as he walked toward me alongside with his wife."But your title is above mine! I must show you respect--and I'm only a half-breed, your highness!" I said as a matter of fact."You're still one of us, Lord Blade!" Pr

Flora covered her face with her hands and started to sob into them. Given, this wasn't the first time I had saw her cry but I still had no clue how to approach with the situation.Inhaling a deep breath, I hesitantly grabbed the lass by her arms and pulled her toward me; pressing her head to my chest. This would be the first time in my 115 years of existence that I've ever embraced a person--a female for the matter when they're expressing sadness.I've never dealt with such situations to avoid exrteme vulnerability within me. That's the last thing a person like me would want. But my chain of thoughts were broken when a sharp shiver ran through Flora's body.Picking her up in my arms, I walked to the bed and placed her on it. Hesitation took over the lass as she moved closer to me and slowly wrapped her arms around me; burying her face in my chest.It was my turn to hesitate yet again as I carefully placed one hand on her back; gently rubbing it. Her sobs eventually subsided but she st

I covered my face for the umpteenth time and let out a shaky breath. The intimate moment I shared with Lord Blade played in my mind like a loop. In the whole chaos of my emotions, I worked upon my instincts and placed a small kiss on his lips. And then the kiss we shared was...simply enchanting! But it was what my uncle did which caused me to freeze under Lord Blade's touch. I could only wonder how disappointed he must've been... My little reverie was cut short when a knock sounded on my bedroom door. Getting out of bed, I fixed my dress before walking toward the door and opening it. Grace stood there with her head lowered a little. "It's time for midday meal, Miss. Harper" she said. I nodded and followed her down to the dining room. Lord Blade and Caspian were already present but I also saw two unfamiliar people. As soon as the warlock took notice of me, he gestured for me to sit beside him and so I did. I walked up to him and sat beside him and carefully glanced at the strangers.
