Forsterite’s POV
How could a supposedly peaceful night turn into something like this? Just a few hours ago, Oliviland was as beautiful and peaceful as the starry night sky but how could all of this happen in just one night? If this was just a horrible nightmare, I wished to wake up from it…
I could not help but cry helplessly while watching Oliviland-my very home-getting devoured by the merciless blazing fire that seemed to be reaching to the sky. I could not even let out a scream to vent out my anger and plea as I witnessed how the silver foxes threw the bodies of my family into the fire, treating them like pieces of wood to light up the darkness. Kneeling on both knees, I lowered my head, unable to watch the horror any longer. The cries of plea and pain of our people that filled the air just a few hours ago had gone quiet. It sent shivers down my spine as my hair stood at its ends, thinking that the silence only meant
My body still felt heavy and sore but I managed to open my eyes a little as I shifted to my side. Wait… what kind of scent was this? Taking a few sniffs of the blanket and pillow, it had some floral and pleasant scent but I could not pinpoint which flower had this kind of smell. But what really caught my attention was the scent of sandalwood. It was not only coming from the pillow and blanket but the room was filled with it. I flung my eyes open when the memory of entering the portal flashed in my mind. As far as I remember, I lost consciousness when I entered the portal. Sitting upright in a matter of seconds, I found myself on a bed with blankets and sheets of dark color. There were things around that I found unfamiliar as they never existed back in Oliviland. Plus, there was a shelf on the side filled with books but I could not read them because they were written in different writing. Looking at my left side, there was a huge transpar
I thought that the womanizer was the only one who would face the death he deserved, but I was so unfortunate to receive the uncanny smirk of the woman. I really should have left this place instead of interrupting these two in their almost lovemaking session. Pointing her gun at me, she demanded, “Get out of the car, you slut.” I did not want to reveal to these lowly humans that I was an immortal so I raised my hands just like what the womanizer did. But it was more than infuriating to let this woman say and do anything as she pleased. I must endure even though it was something I did not want to do in front of this shameless creature. Still, Lansford and I both left the car and walked towards the woman. “Kneel,” she said, her gun still pointed at us. I could actually tackle her down and shove that gun right into her mouth but there were other men surrounding us. I
When we got out of the car, a few people wearing white clothes and robes came running in our direction. They took Lansford on a bed with wheels and rushed him into this huge building that seemed to be made of pure glass. I had seen this in the magical waters but I did not know what the humans called it. “Young miss, we should disinfect your wound,” one of the ladies said. Just then, it came to me that I had a cut on my cheek after that crazy woman slapped me. Without saying anything, I followed the lead of the lady in white while one of Lansford’s men tailed me behind. It was not like I was going to run away when I was not even familiar with this place. Plus, I could not simply abandon that womanizer now that he had my bead. For the next full moon, I must cultivate the remaining power I have to regain what I had lost. “Where are they taking Lansford?” I asked the woman, my gaze following the group of people pushing
My brows knitted since his question sounded like there was some sort of hidden intention behind it but I just could not pinpoint what it was. The smirk even made me more suspicious of him. Crossing my arms across my chest, I leaned closer to him.“I am more than sure as long as the things you ask for are something attainable,” I stated. “I can clean your house no matter how big it is. I am also a good cook so I can prepare food anytime you want to. Basically, you can order me around.”“I already have someone who can do that for me. Basically-” He even reiterated that word, probably trying to tease me. “-there is nothing much you can do other than lie on my bed and please me.”I showed him a disgusted face and pretended to vomit in front of him. His once amused expression was now turned into an icy one, making me smile at him.“As I was saying, I c
(FAYALITE)Being caught in such an awkward situation by the very father of Mr. Ryso was so embarrassing that I did not hesitate to push his son to the side and stood on both feet. I wanted to clarify to him that we were not going to do ‘that’ but explaining it would sound more awkward.“I… I am sorry, sir. It’s not what you think,” I stated but it sounded unconvincing especially that I even stuttered.I watched him take his seat on the sofa just near me while his son fixed himself and stood beside me. Stealing a glance at him hoping he would tell me what to do since this was such an expected turn of events. We were just talking about his proposal and yet his father that looked more intimidating than he was suddenly showed up.I gulped when he looked up at me with a frown on his face. I simply flashed a small smile before he turned
Reaching the dining room while trying to catch my breath, I saw Alexander fumbling at his Ipad with a cup of coffee served on the table. Just like the other day, he was wearing a pair of suit but this time, instead of a black suit, it was gray this time. Well, I do admit that he looked better in black but set that thought aside since that was not the purpose why I came to see him so early in the morning. He seemed to have noticed my presence that he lifted his gaze at me with his usual non-expressive look.“Are you that hungry to run your way here?” he asked as he casually returned his gaze at his Ipad.I walked in his direction and towered over him with a hand on my hip. He never spared me a glance and still kept his eyes on the screen which was more infuriating.“Alexander, what was the document you made me sign last night? And please, I do not want to hear that it is a marriage contract just like wha
Out of impulse, I raised my hand with an open palm and slapped him across the face. I felt my hand sting in pain after the impact and I could see the red mark on his cheek. His head was still tilted to the side so the moment he turned to meet my gaze, I cupped his cheek.“I… I… I am so sorry,” I apologized. “But it was definitely your fault for kissing me without permission. Do that again and I will slap you still.”I could not maintain eye contact with him out of fear that he might snap at me but then, he held my hand that was cupping his cheek. I gulped as he kissed the back of my hand whilst looking into my eyes.“Is that an invitation for another kiss?”I stared at him with a blank face. How could he act like this? But seeing him acting all smug after doing something without asking for my permission just made me want to slap him on the other cheek
Out of impulse, I immediately crumpled the paper into a ball. I fell back on my seat in surprise when Alexander suddenly lunged at me and tried to grab the paper away. This guy was probably the only person I met who lacked the practice of self-control. Just because he wanted something, he would go about and take it without even considering the feelings of others.“What did you write?” he asked as he grabbed my wrists and pulled me towards him, still trying to get it.“Nothing,” I replied briefly. I brought my hands behind my back so he would not dare get ahold of it.Even though I was so sure that he would not be able to read them but I was simply worried he might become suspicious of me. Getting too much attention just because of who I really was and where I was from was a matter I did not want others to do. Before he could take it away, I pushed him to the side with a grunt, and with a rather lo
