*ring* *ring*Leah pressed the bell button once she reached Damon's house. The house was medium with a beautiful garden around it. It was more than enough for two people to live. The door was opened by Damon who was dressed casually. "Miss Leah." He called her name with a smile on his face..his eyes were sparkling with joy as he looked at Leah. Leah looked away once she made eye contact with him. She was perfectly aware of his liking towards her. A woman can easily detect a man's gaze. Whether it is love or lust."Please, come in." He said and stepped aside for her to walk in. She faintly smiled before entering the house. She was about to take off her shoes at the entrance when she saw a shoe cabinet near the door but he didn't let her."Here...Thank you for the scarf." Leah handed him the paper bag. "Oh, you didn't have to give it back to me. I bought it for you." He said and Leah paused. She looked up at his face and he had a hurtful expression on his face."I didn't know." She sa
"I would like to have you."This was enough to make her raise her head. She looked at him with a stern expression but her eyes looked furious. The expression on her face made him finally realize she was nothing like before or was acting like this just with him because he is dangerous.Whatever it was...he knew...she wasn't like before. She has changed and so has he. It doesn't matter to him what look she gives him...he will accept every side of her. Trying to trap each of them in his cage. "I'm busy." She sounded rather uninterested. He narrowed his gaze once he realized she wouldn't listen to him and forcing her out wasn't his thing. He took her respect as his. Only if he showed how crazy he was for her...she would probably run away. "How much do you earn in a day?" He asked but she ignored his question and served the customer beside him. "Here, enjoy." She greeted the customer politely and grabbed the money from the counter, putting it in the counter's cash drawer.If there was s
"How immature you still are."Leah said with a frown on her face. She was annoyed by his attitude. He brought her here just to buy her flowers. Wasn't he interested in Yuri? He bought her flowers and kept clinging to her and now she has started to feel things for him.His expression darkened as he stared down at her with a blank look. "What's the meaning of this? Aren't you interested in Yuri? She has feelings for you." She said and looked up at him. Her breath got stuck midway when she made eye contact with him. She unconsciously stepped back to get away but he slammed his hand beside her on the wall making her flinch.The part-timer kid flinched and turned his back toward them. She lowered her gaze and looked at the bouquet in his hands which was almost crooked due to his tight grip on it. "Igneel...Let's pretend we don't know each other." She said and gulped when all of sudden he yelled at the part-timer in his deep but harsh tone."Get the hell out, kid."The boy quickly walked o
"Are you eating on time?" Leah asked Yuri on the phone call while sitting in the living room of her small apartment. Pulling closer to her chest as she waited for an answer. After a pause, she finally heard her voice."Yes, You don't need to worry." Yuri replied, "I see." Leah said and leaned her head back against the couch. Her back was aching for some reason, maybe she was overworked. "Then, I need to get up early in the morning. I'll sleep now, good night." Yuri said and Leah wished her a good night back before she cut off the call. Putting her phone beside her on the couch, she sat there silently.Wondering about Igneel.She can't lose her cafe, that was for sure but after knowing his reality she didn't have the guts to go stand against him. He might not hurt her at the moment but she still doesn't believe anyone or anything.Why does a man like him want her cafe?It was clear, he was messing with her. She wasn't dumb, no one is. She lay down on the couch and started to play a
"Now, shall we decide who you belong to?" A frown made its way on her soft features as she stared at him in confusion. First, he stomped in the house out of nowhere and now he was talking about ownership as if she was stuff and not a living human being."What nonsense are you spouting?" She asked after building up some courage inside her. The way he stood in front of her made her feel so small under his gaze.He really has changed."Are you engaged?" He asked, his eyes traveling down to her fingers in which she was wearing an engagement ring, similar to that man.She wanted to clear the situation but then who was he to ask such questions? Why should she give him an explanation? It has nothing to do with him. Upon hearing no words from her, his jaw clenched in anger and he started to walk toward her as if a lion was about to attack his prey.A low gasp left her lips and she turned around to grab the vase which was resting on the table to hit him. As soon as her hand grabbed the vase,
One Two Three Four Leah looked around the cafe as she counted the number of customers. It wasn't a very busy day to be exact. Leah turned her head towards Ava and told her to take off for today since there weren't many customers and it was already noon. Ava happily agreed and went inside the back room. She was a college student too, so keeping her here for no reason was unnecessary.Leah sat down on the chair and took out her phone with a sigh. She frowned when she saw a message from an unknown number in her notification."What is this?" She whispered under her breath as she opened the chat box. It was a picture but it was blurred. She tapped the picture several times thinking her wifi connection was weak but that wasn't the case. The picture was blurred. Why would anyone send her a blurry picture? She decided to ignore it as she exited the chat boss only to meet another notification popping up on her scene. This time it was a message from another unknown number."Why don't you
"Heh...What am I gonna do with you? My Camellia." He asked, she shut her eyes when he tightened his grip around her waist. "Say...what do I have to do to make you love me back?" He asked in her ear and she gulped. Telling him to stop loving her was useless because he seemed persistent. With no answer in mind, she kept her mouth shut.Back then she had feelings for him, she cared for him and wanted him to be strong but now things are not the same anymore. They met after so many years...he became stronger than her imagination, and now he doesn't need her care. He is no longer a pitiful boy anymore."First you need to let me go." She said and he quickly shook his head. "Impossible." He said and tightened his grip, even more, making her gasp. "I can't breathe." She said, slightly sounding suffocated."Oh, pardon me." He said and loosened his grip on her. "If you don't have anything to do, just leave already." She said, her eyes slightly widened when she felt his hand gripping her neck as
"He doesn't contact me anymore," Yuri said while sitting on the chair before Leah. Ava was at the counter taking care of the customers while Leah and Yuri were sitting in the corner of the cafe. "It's for the better. At the very first time, he didn't approach you for you but because you looked like someone he knew." Leah said and Yuri nodded in understanding. "You're right, I will leave now. It's been an hour." Yuri said and stood up from her chair. "Wait till dinner," Leah suggested but Yuri shook her head, saying she had to go to her part-time job. "Very well then, take care," Leah said and waved at Yuri who just left the cafe. This girl has started to isolate herself and Leah doesn't know how to help her because she is just so stubborn to even listen.All of a sudden Leah heard a 'ding' sound. She looked down at her phone which was placed on the table and saw a notification from an unknown number. With a frown, she opened the chat box. Her frown deepened once she realized it was
