26: Between Life and Death
"Eat well. I know you didn't eat last night and this morning. Tell me, how are you going to take care of Uncle if you get sick?" Nari raised a brow at me.
She's right. I can't be sick. So I tried to get that man out of my mind. I'm sure if I'll just ignore it, the hallucination will soon stop."By the way. Will you stay with your job on the ship? I remember it's tomorrow?" Nari asked while we were eating.I nodded. "I need extra money. Uncle has insurance but there are still a lot of expenses."Today is the first day of the semester break and whenever there is no class, I do side hustles to help Uncle with all our bills.He's just a regular employee in a company and he's been providing for us since day one, and it became harder now that I am left with all the responsibilities. I need to provide for our necessities, save for my tuition fee next semester, and pay our rent. More reasons to work."But you don't have to watch here all day. I'll be back the other day."Related chapters

Insanity. That's how probably how other people would see what I've just done. I made a deal with a deity. I've promised to give him my life. I couldn't even believe it myself.But then, thinking about what he can do for me, I guess it's worth it, right? How am I going to continue my life without Uncle, anyway? I don't think I can do it. I don't think I can live my life to its fullest if he dies when I know that I could have done something but chose not to. Uncle has been selfless ever since the day he decided to raise me. How can I be selfish?One month. At least he gave me one month."Did you hear the doctor, Jace? Did you hear him?" Nari said in disbelief. Even I couldn't believe it myself. The doctor just said that a miracle happened and everything is fine with my uncle now.I looked over Nari's shoulder and found Helion leaning on the wall at the far corner of the hallway. He smirked and winked at me.I immediately knew. He did it. He really is a deity.
The Demoness Alpha 28: He's Filthy Rich
The man's hand on my arm immediately fell. They stepped back but stopped when continuous thunders echoed in the sea. I got startled too, but I stood still on my position and fixed my eyes on the man in front. He's just standing there, no weapons, and eyes glowing in the midst of darkness. He didn't just look dangerous. He looked lethal. The look in his eyes screamed bloodshed. The thought of what he could do in anger made me shiver.Even if I've only known him for a few days, I know what he's capable of doing. He can save someone in the brink of death, but he can also send someone in hell. He's ruthless and only cares for his own benefit, but at that moment, I was thankful that he came. Even if he's just doing this because he wants me alive until that time, I felt warmth for some reason.I'm going crazy, I think. Who knows he's the one causing all these troubles, right? What if all the misfortunes happening to me is because he is around me."They hit you?" Helion aske
The Demoness Alpha 29: The Other Life
Staring at my reflection on the mirror, unconsciously, I smiled. I reached for the comb and gently combed the straight hair. That was beyond my chest.The natural brown color of my hair complimented my brown almond eyes and fair complexion. It didn't make me look like my mother, though. She's tanned and has black eyes. That said, I inherited it from Dad. Based on the pictures I saw of him before, I think it's true. My father has a british blood. He's fair and has brown eyes, too.After combing, I applied light lipstick to the lip. With my sky blue off shoulder dress, I was satisfied with my look for the night."Kaia, are you done?" Brenda shouted outside my room.I would have said I was done but I stopped without telling him to enter. Her lips formed a little 'o' after looking at me from head to toe. I was shaken."Nice!""Stop me, Brenda," I scolded her once taking off my flat sandals there in the old cabinet."The prize is bigger no
The Demoness Alpha 30: Parallel Lives
"It's good that you arrived," said Mama. "But I'm sure you're tired from the trip. We'll be at home and I'll prepare you something to eat.""I'm okay there, Tita!" and Jonas."All right. But don't get ready, Mom. We have some food," Livius smiled at the same time. He's used at addressing her that way. He considered Mama to be his family.Livius' car was parked in front of the house. Our neighbors were not surprised because they often saw Livius. That's all, sometimes we can't stop the spread of gossip. Many people say that Livius is my boyfriend but I just don't admit it.But then again, it's just rumors and all. I don't have to hit that anymore. It's up to the people what they think. Why would I bother explaining when the truth for them is what they want to believe?"They're also animals of beauty, what?" Brenda whispered to me as we entered the house."Brenda," I warned her again. He only giggled and scrutinized those men with her maliciou
The Demoness Alpha 31: Unexpected Visit
I don't exactly remembered how it started. I just felt it. Sage is too much. He intimidates me in any move he makes. I don't know why. But I don't like him. That’s where I’m sure."Oh, why are you pale?" Mom asked after I came back from the patio."P-Po?" Somewhat shocked at what he said.He stopped washing the dishes and turned his attention to me. I leaned against the fridge."Are you feeling bad? Is it because of the contest result?""Oh, no!" I was confused to answer him. I averted my eyes. My heart was beating loud. Sage just intimidated me so much. That's the only reason."It's really okay with me that I didn't win, Ma. That's not a big deal to me. Also, it's really good to get the first prize. He deserves it."He frowned and examined me with a look. She's still have doubts. Is it that obvious that I am being affected?"By the way, uh ... Sage said they'll sleep here because it's still a long trip and maybe ..
The Demoness Alpha 32: I Don't Like It
"You have something to pick up, Kaia. I'm leaving then ..." Serio said shyly. In shock, I grabbed his arm to restrain him. I was taken aback by my action. He was the same so I left immediately."Uh, next time ..."I bit my lower lip. The truth is, that's not what I want to say. It's just, I was pressured by Sage's stare on me. I was also ashamed of what I did. I don't touch men just like that. Men sometimes misunderstood simple gestures like what I did. I don't want Serio to think like that. He's a good friend."I'm sorry," I added.Seriously smiled. "It's okay. All right, I'll go first." He looked at Sage and nodded before leaving."Why are you here?" I asked, a bit cold. It's the way to hide the uneasiness I'm feeling. I don’t want to look stupid in front of him. I don't want to be rude, either."Is it Livius?" It's not that hard to figure out. It also happened once that Livius sent me to his friend. Only that it was Jonas who did it
The Demoness Alpha 33: Can Love Bloom?
"Here's your favorite hawaiian pizza, ma'am." Livius smiled."Thank you." I smiled, focusing on the front.A woman dropped drinks on our table. I unconsciously glanced at Sage's table. My eyes lingered there for a few seconds. Tania was talking while smiling at him. But I didn't see him smile even a bit. He wasn't even responding at all. Or he may be listening intently to the woman. She must be special, then?"Let's bring its Mama too," I said as I looked back at Livius. We started eating."Yup. I've got something ready there.""Thank you.""You're always welcome, Kaia."Livius and I left first. They never talked to Sage again. Livius just gave a signal to tell us to leave first. I only looked at Sage. He looked at me, too. But it was only quick. I heard Tania called his name. I turned around when Livius guided me to the door of the pizza house."So, are you dating yet?" Brenda inquired the night after she had eaten dinner with
The Demoness Alpha 34: Things Unsaid
I was intimidated. I nervously presented him with the menu. Why is he still stuck here in so many coffee shops?"Black coffee and clubhouse sandwich," he said in a low voice as he stared at me."Uh, okay ..." I hesitated if I should put 'sir' on the last part like how I usually address the male customers. But I just didn't do that and turned away. Arriving at the counter I immediately told Sage’s order to Rian."Are you okay, Kaia?" asked Joseph, the cashier there."Yes ..." Why, what do I look like? Do I look constipated?In recent months Sage's association with Livius has diminished. Every time he came, we didn't talk. I mean, we interact with each other on small things. But we haven't really been able to communicate properly yet. Not that I want a long interaction with him. The point is, we are not close even when he comes home. So I counted on him.There's also that unapproachable air on him. Very different from Livius."Han
