According to what Luis said, our reserved seats were first class so we would be able to sleep more comfortably. That was good news actually because just entering in the craft made me feel like I want to throw up or something. I did not like the feeling at all.
Just, as usual, Alexander and Freya were together on the opposite side of my seat with Luis. I just pretended that I did not mind them at all because I already promised Alexander that I won't be disturbing them no matter what. After putting away our baggage, I immediately laid down on my seat and shut my eyes. Luis said that we will be flying at any minute but my stomach was already flipping on its own.
"I should get to sleep before we fly. I might vomit anytime," I mumbled.
I heard a giggle coming from Luis as he sat across from me. "Is it your first time to ride on an airplane?"
I simply nodded in reply since it felt like if I o
I clipped a few locks of my hair behind my ear as I looked down the sands. It was just a bit embarrassing to be suddenly addressed like that when I was used to being just called Fayalite. Though, I wonder what he was here for. O mean, he was the second-in-command of Arsen so he usually stays beside him. Did he probably come here to search for him? “You seem to be enjoying yourself here in the human realm, princess,” he said as he walked in my direction. Now that he was closer, I came to notice that he really blended well among the humans. Unlike the first time I came here, I looked so different and ignorant. “Not really. I...” I paused. Would it be insensitive of me to speak about Arsen? I mean, I was the reason why his soul was sent here and his body was in a coma. “Why are you here?” He looked at me in the eyes with a sharp look and a smirk drawn on his lips. It
(FAYALITE)Biting my lower lip, I watched Milan dance almost naked on that stage where the light was red. She had a great body, I must admit. Aside from her sex appeal, her charisma attracted a lot of our clients, no wonder she was the highest-paid dancer here in the club and the favorite of the customers.“You wanted money, right?” Julian asked. He was the person who saved me from being imprisoned when I ate in a restaurant without paying for it. Even though he did not know me, he still gave me a decent place to stay and gave me food. But in exchange, I would have to follow the steps of Milan.I nodded in response to his question. Two months had already passed and I failed to locate the human vessel of Arsen, my beloved betrothed, here in the human realm. And unlike in our land, I was no princess here so I had to work, earn money, and look for him.I stared at myself. My
I did not want to immediately jump to conclusions but the faint scent lingering here in this room was of the same peppermint smell of Arsen. I could not be wrong… I hope. With my feet leading me towards the direction where the scent was coming from, I forgot the fact that I was actually wearing a pair of one-inch high heels which I was still not used to. The room was dim-lit with only one lamp on the corner as the source of light. All I could see on the chair beside it was the half silhouette of a man wearing formal attire. “Arsen, I have been looking…” The words coming out from my mouth ceased when a loud thud and a huff from me filled the room when I tripped on my own foot. I grunted in pain as I got back on my feet and fixed my dress as it almost displayed my entire chest. It was a good thing that it was a bit darker inside, making it almost impossible for this man to see what just happened.
I stared at him for a few moments, waiting for him to say that he was simply joking with the sudden proposal. I mean… there was no sane man in this world who would go to a bar and ask a total stranger to become his wife for a few years. That was just absurd! Plus, with the words he just said, he also probably meant that after that few years he just mentioned, he would be divorcing me later on. No such immortal would ever do that as we consider marriage as a sacred union. But then, he stood quiet for several minutes wearing his ever serious expression. There was no sign of jest in his dark grey eyes. “In that contract, it states that I shall pay you a hundred thousand dollars every month. Is that not enough for you to say yes?” I was so sure that if only it was possible, my brows could have already met in the middle of my forehead out of confusion. All I thought that escorts do was to see this guy off here in
I was at a loss for words with what he just said. It was not because Julian had indeed probably sold me to him but the fact that he actually had the audacity to place a cheap value on me. As an immortal, no amount of human money or wealth could ever buy me. The shamelessness of this man was astonishingly annoying. He may be a man whose good looks could turn the heads of women and whose voice could make them obey whatever he said, but it was not even enough for me to be happy with. Clutching at my purse, I snatched the pepper spray and threw it right at him before running to the streets. It was a good thing that it was already night time or else I might be running on hot ground… that would be torture. Taking a quick look behind me, I saw him just standing in front of the gate so I stuck out my tongue at him. I turned my attention back on the way and simply followed where the street was leading me because, in truth, I had no idea where I w
Upon returning to the mansion, the maids that once ran after me came to greet us. Mr. Ryso instructed them to take care of me as he headed towards the stairs. But before he could go upstairs, he laid his eyes on me. “You can sleep here for the night. Choose any room you want.” Unlike before, his voice was softer this time. It was something I truly appreciated since he seemed to be concerned about me despite being a stranger to him. After saying that, the maids led me to the bathroom that was as large as the bedroom Julian gave to me to sleep in. The pair of maids who accompanied me left some towels and clothes on top of the table just outside the bathing room. When they left, I stared at the tub that was as white as the clouds. And not only that, the water was warm and flower petals were even floating. It was a good bath for an immortal like me. As I took off the dress that was close to being ruined, I was reminded
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
