CHAPTER 37 - The Return
Athena's POV
Cloud and I successfully completed our dinner just a few minutes ago. I termed it a success to illustrate how it nearly made the unimaginable possible. It was Cloud's first time cooking a very meticulous dish, and regardless of the fact that he volunteered to do it a few months earlier, I have not ever let him do the honor for the sheer terror of him causing a fire and creating a massive atomic blast in the kitchen. But today, I finally gave him the go-ahead, with the heartfelt optimism and anticipation that he will survive his first-ever hands-on with me, as his personal chef.
We managed to eat a quick and easy scrambled egg earlier as we went home and immediately fell into a deep slumber after the previous night's disturbance and being sleep-deprived at the nearby police station. The reason we woke up in the middle of the afternoon, coming to the realization that we had missed out on lunch because we were so completely immers

Athena's POVBefore having to enter the elevator, I texted Lovi first just to let her know that I had arrived early and safely at the building's premises. I managed to push the elevator up to the 9th floor, where our team's office is located and stepped aside politely while having to wait for more passengers to join the elevator.The speech controller inside the elevator then officially confirmed that we had reached the destination floor a few seconds later. The door automatically opened on the 9th floor, and I smoothly exited with some other passengers.When I finally showed up at our office, I was absolutely stunned to discover that the entire floor was pitch-black. I began to look for my phone, expecting to see a text message from Lovi, but there was none. It is indeed disconcerting because I thought I had informed her of my return two days before.I adeptly swiped my ID card through the detector, and its light sensor changed from red
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 39 - The Regal Charm
Cloud's POV I was strolling around the shopping center when I happened to come across a well-known jewelry store. After moments of battling with my thoughts, I tactfully decided to open the sliding glass door and noticed a few people inside. I can indeed tell how glamorous the place was just by glancing at it. Mirrors engulf the four corners of the wall, creating exquisite intensity to the cozy ambiance. It has a stylish conceptual model that exemplifies the sophistication and ingenuity of the space, continuing to make it more extravagant. The ceiling was also adorned with mirrors, which encapsulate the ephemeral LED light meticulously boarded up through the mirrors themselves. Their flooring is intricately polished and has a glossy sheen that transmits light, highlighting the subtleties of the innate stone's crystalline structure. Its sleek appearance is lush in hue and radiates artistry, attempting to create a perspective for the interior.
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 40 - Redeemer of Angels
Cloud's POV I had already been parked outside Athena's office when I received a text message from her saying she was just about to clock out in fifteen minutes. I messaged her back, informing her that I was already waiting for her to evacuate the building. Furthermore, I have not ever heard from her again after that, so I hypothesized she was going to finish up whatever work activities she was doing to officially end her shift for the day. I started to turn on my car stereo and flipped from one channel to the next, selecting a song that best suit my mood and preferences. And after I have selected the ballad that I find really relaxing and calming my nerves, I reached out to maximize the volume of my speaker then grabbed the backrest, and crouched down comfortably, trying to sing along with the ballads vociferously like a drunkard. My voice croaking as I tried my best to reach the highest pitch of the tune, eager to mimic the singer. I feel like I am
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 41 - Good Life
Megan's POV As I started to hear Greg's angry snoring next to me, I started rolling my eyes. To get away from the garbled noise, I actually attempted to shift my position slightly to the side. Later on, I noticed like it was actually gettinglouder and crazieruntil I could no longerhelp but scoop up a pillow and thwack it right in front of his face. He seemed torecognize my unexpected intervention because he immediately stopped making some noise while still in a catatonic state. I took a deep breath,annoyed and irritated at the same time. I had never really been to work in weeks because I havebeen staying at Greg's rented house. I did not even attempt notifying them, either via text message or a quick phone call. They had really been sending me text messages, missed calls, and email messages nonstop, but I had not tried to respond to any of them. Even Lovi is not really convinced that I am.I am not completely
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 42 - Bottled Up Emotions
Lovi's POV I had been driving downtown when I started to notice a certain bar along the main road. In the dead of the night, it makes it appear visually enticing and vibrant. I came to a screeching halt on the side of the highway, still looking intently at the bar across the street. There is an unsettling thought persuadingme to enter the bar and then have a good time, forgetting about something else for the time being. I am really not your typical bar or party swinger. As Megan's friend, I have been all over bars and nightclubs before for a casual drink. But then, if Megan had never really invited me, I would never set foot in this place. I decided to enter the hustle and bustle bar with apprehension at first. The vitality of the party-goersand the groovy tunes hammering on my inner self had me swept away. I ended up sitting at the bar counter and requested the uniformed bartender to make me a lady's drink. I managed to c
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 43 - Feral Cat
Lovi's POV Because when that random manhad made that sensual request, I impulsively nodded my head in a knee-jerkreaction. Once I reacted, he smirked provocatively. And, without giving us the opportunity to carefully consider, he squeezed my hand firmly, and then we were speedily out the back entrance when he suddenly and unexpectedly stopped abruptly. "So, what is the matter?" As we tried to enter a dark corner, I questioned. "I cannot take this anymore.. I've got to take you now," he said that between respirations. At his utterance, I gulped downas he whittled down his gaze on me like a hawk prowling its food source. I did not even say anything at all because I could not even think. I came to know in the back of my mind that all of this was way off the mark, but seeing Kyle actually makes me feel hostile and outraged. I was also still working extremely hard to slow my breathing and grasp my gulp of air. He
The Dark Silhouette CHAPTER 44 - Inner Peace
Athena's POV I brought back my gaze to Cloud,who was sitting there looking at me and waving me goodbye in his car, window frames completely open and a cheesy grin on his face. When I saw him still trying to check to make absolutely sure I was perfectly alright, I ended up giving him my face of an angel thensmiled and waved, then motioned for himto consider leaving. He drove away afterraising his right hand in a salute and bursting out laughing. I started to laugh, still gazing lovingly in the direction in which he had left off. I really can not possibly ask for something more. Cloud is the type of man that every woman wishes she could have. It has been a week since I returned to the office, and he keeps driving me there every morning and makes sure to pick me up at the end of my shift in the afternoon. Except forpreparing food and a list of groceries, I very seldom have to do any household tasks as soon as we get home be

After years of working with the company, it would have been my first time being late, so I fully comprehend the throbbing questions in their eyes. I did not have the nerve to explain myself, so I forestalled my gaze. After a few moments of having to settle into my work area, our office supervisor calledme up."Sir, good morning." As soon as I walked into his office, I greeted him respectfully."Lovi, good morning. Is everything all right? What actually happened?"I breathed deeply. "I sincerely apologize for being so late, sir. I absolutely guarantee that this would bethe first and last time it will happen," I responded right away.My boss shook his head and dismissively tossed his hands up in the air. "It was all right.
