The Taste of Heaven 57. Not Home
Nevea watched as Zach broke down in front of her. The tears and his pained face made her breath stuck in her throat. She didn't know what had happened. One moment Zach was observing her. The next moment, he dashed in her direction in desperation. "Zach, hey, you okay?" Instead of answering her, Zach kept on sobbing. His body trembled tremendously while he continued to beg her to wake up. After overcoming her shock, Nevea finally could guess what had happened to him. A vision. And it wasn't a pretty one. Nevea then squatted down, taking his hands on hers, then stroking them gently. Hoping that it might help him to realize that what he saw wasn't happening at the current time. "I am here. Wake up." She saidZach lifted his head. His teary eyes looked straight at Nevea. There was a hint of recognition in his orbs. However, it disappeared again; then, another tear escaped his eyes. The scene of his miserable state was like a knife that plunged deep into Nevea's heart. His expressio
The Taste of Heaven 58. The Flame Must Be Beautiful
Two days later, there was still no sign of Zach. Nevea had given up waiting. If he wanted to be alone, so be it. “Fuck him,” Nevea grumbled as she scooped the food into her mouth. The dining area was so quiet, and she was the only one sitting at the table, like some rich woman who lives alone. “Can I visit Kiara today?” She asked Silas, who stood rigidly at the corner of the room. “I am afraid you should wait for Mr. Dacre, Ms. Nevea.” Came Silas’ replied. It was still the same as yesterday. “If you are bored, I can accompany you to walk around the house.”Nevea waved her hand in the air. She remembered every corner of the house and didn’t want to waste more time strolling again. “What about Lola? How is she?”“Still screaming nonstop and cursing you, of course.” “Right,” Nevea replied weakly. If only Zach didn’t escape, she would have asked him to compel Lola already. But that man went hiding, so all the plans went down the drain. Now, she couldn’t meet Kiara and also Lola. Th
The Taste of Heaven 59. My Heaven, My Little Fairy
Zach only gave her a chaste kiss. Then he pushed her against the door. "You shouldn't say something like that. Vlassta members should care about the well-being of others."Nevea rolled her eyes. "I am not with Vlassta anymore."When those words left Nevea's mouth, Zach knew he had to have her. Thus, he gave her another kiss. Putting all that he had been feeling for the past two days—anger, pain, and frustration—into the kiss.Acted on instinct, Nevea put her arms around Zach's neck, and he lifted her body, which instantly made her legs wrap around his waist. The chaste kiss was no more. Now, they were ravenous for each other's mouths, hungrily consuming with an insatiable hunger. Their tongues twirled and wrangled with savage intensity, lapping and sucking each other with an unrestrained passion. Every movement brought them closer, intensifying the rapture of their kiss. The kiss wasn't enough to satiate the intense burn they felt. They needed to be skin to skin, to touch each othe
The Taste of Heaven 60. Fusing
Standing not too far from each other, Nevea kept her gaze on Zach's golden orbs. It gleamed beautifully while staring at her. Not only that, but his eyes also softened a lot. Although Nevea couldn't feel any dangerous aura from Zach, she couldn't be sure. "Zach?""Why are you keep calling me like that?" He took two steps, which made Nevea back away. "Am I scaring you?" Nevea shook her head, and he added. "Did I do something wrong? Tell me." Placing her hand on top of her chest, she answered. "I am just confused. You look different.""How?" He took a step forward again. And this time, Nevea didn't move even an inch. "What are you?" She probed another question instead of giving him the answer. Zach suddenly appears right before Nevea's eyes. He cupped her face in between his palm. "You are scared." He said with a soft tone. "Don't be scared of me. I am the last person you should be scared of." His fingers caressed at her skin. Damn, his softness and gentleness made her head clouded
The Taste of Heaven 61. A Talk With Kiara
From outside the cell, Zach observed how calm Kiara looked despite the heavy chains restraining her movement. According to Silas’ report, Kiara only resisted when he kidnapped her here, but she behaved perfectly well afterward. It was almost like being in Zach’s dungeon was her goal. Pushing the cell, he went inside and took a seat right in front of her. Perhaps she sensed his presence because Kiara dragged her feet towards him the next moment. His body bent slightly, waiting for Kiara to reach him. “You,” Kiara said as she finally got a good view to look at the man before her. “It’s really you.” She sneered. “It seems you know Nevea and me so well. Care to tell me, what’s our relationship with each other?” Zach crossed his legs and leaned on the chair calmly. “Relationship?” Kiara laughed. “I am not insane enough to sell my soul to a demon. Although I can’t say the same about Nevea.”Zach’s brows furrowed. “Being in love with a demon equals selling a soul. That’s quite new.”“Yo
The Taste of Heaven 62. Message
Nevea entered the cell to meet Kiara two hours after Zach ended his session. She remembered how pale Zach’s face was and how much his body shook after seeing her. That alone could tell her that Kiara had described or shown him something horrible. At least, this time, he didn’t run away from her. Instead, he seeks comfort from her. Taking a few deep breaths, Nevea finally walked closer to Kiara. She actually didn’t know what to expect from this conversation with Kiara. At first, Kiara seemed to be her ally, but now it didn’t feel like that anymore. Kiara knew too many things; even her motive was still grey. “You look great.” Kiara began. “And the mark looks disgustingly beautiful.” Nevea instantly touched the mark on her neck. “You don’t like it? It’s pretty, though.”Kiara clicked her tongue. “I’ve seen that mark before, Nevea. You have given yourself to him again. What a surprise.” Kiara said with a flat tone. “I don’t. Not everything.”“That mark won’t appear if you didn’t sur
The Taste of Heaven 63. Wife
Zach, Nevea, and Silas stood silently while looking at the words on the wall. After Nevea informed them about Kiara’s disappearance, they dispatched all the guards to look for that woman. Still, their efforts were useless since Kiara’s shadow couldn’t be seen anywhere. So, they ended up in the dungeon. “So you are telling me someone is after you?” Zach broke the silence.“Hmm.” Nevea hummed. “Let’s hunt her down.” Zach spun around and walked to leave the cell.“Wait,” Nevea said, grabbing his hand. “We should deal with Vlassta first.” “Okay.” Zach agreed. He took Nevea’s hand so they could walk hand in hand to exit the dungeon while Silas followed behind them. Suddenly Zach looked over his shoulder to meet Silas’ eyes, then instructed. “Gather all the people who have worked for me before you in the hall. I want to meet them in ten minutes.”“What do you need them to do, Mr. Dacre? Perhaps I can do it myself.” Silas offered, to which Zach replied with a glare. His confidence slu
The Taste of Heaven 64. Comfort
In the meeting room, Nevea sat across Logan and Raven. After the incident last night, Nevea and Zach didn't talk much since both of them were having difficulties believing the servant's claim. They basically avoided talking about it. Instead, they began discussing Vlassta. Yesterday, Nevea asked Zach to compel Lola and told him to tell Logan she was ready to talk with them. "Where is Lola? Is she okay?" Logan started. "She is fine. Don't worry; Silas is picking her up." Nevea took a cup of tea on the table, brought it to her mouth, and sipped it while keeping her eyes fixed on both of them. "How have you been?" It was Raven. "Are you hurt?"Nevea placed the cup back and lifted her gaze to meet Raven. She felt awful for picking Zach's side without telling Raven anything about her problem. Raven used to be the person she sought when there were too many things going on, but this time, Raven didn't have a place in her issues. Just like Lola, Raven wouldn't understand. For Nevea, it
