Chapter 22RUBINThe bell rings as I pushed open the door, the smell of flowers overwhelming me instantly. Vivian looks up to me and smiled “There you are–I thought I would never see you again.” I shrugged my shoulder and leaned across the counter, staring at her, “Seems like life on earth is never easy, Vi. This past two days happened so fast and in the most unfortunate way–I have suffered, greatly.” she holds a rose on her hand and pointed it at me, “I beg to disagree with what you say,” she smiled before she puts the rose on the basket, “I have the most magical weekend–I mean, I met Viktor and he is so hot and handsome, too. I’ve been so lucky ever since I met you.” I gave her a tiny smile and ran my hand on the papers on the counter. “Really? Well, I’m happy for you,” she looks up from the flower and directed her eyes at me, “ Why? Did you not enjoy Paris for the last two days?”“It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it, it’s just,” I sighed and gave her a lopsided smile, “I want to ask y

Chapter 24CAELUM“I don’t understand!” I rolled my eyes at Aeon as he throws the book down on the table, lying down on the earth–his platinum blond hair in contrast with the dark soil, his purple eyes squinted as he looks up at the cloudless sky. Birds squawked as they fly up the clouds, startled of Aeon’s loud voice as he disturbed the silence only the field can provide for me. I continued harvesting the roses I will place next to the lilies, choosing a light blue porcelain vase to put it in. “There ought to be something–anything! I mean, there should be a connection, a clue as to why this is all happening, I can’t–”“Aeon, don’t you have anything in mind that you should do rather than pestering me? I am pretty sure there is more things that could entertain you rather than- ”“I am not pestering you, I am merely pointing out certain things that I consider–dodgy...”“Aeon, you are delving into things that are ought to not be thought so much about, get on with it already and have yo

Chapter 26RUBINMy lips tingled as I glared at his back, pulling my robes. I raised my hand only to stop–Nope! I won’t wipe it. I smiled and tried to stop myself from giggling. “Oi!”Caelum turns at me and I hide my smile with the flower, making him frown. He takes my arm and dragged me up the hill, revealing the beautiful view of the field around us, “Wow!” Caelum’s lips pull from the side as he smirked, letting go of my arm as he shuffled back at the table, snatching some scissors and gloves, “Who plant all these flowers?”He raised a delicate eyebrow at my question before smirking once again, “No one but I, silly. Do you expect anyone else?” He boasted, snapping the glove on his hand. “That’s impossible. I mean, how can you plant all these flowers? There is so many of them!” “Years and years of cultivating, and a lot of patience, of course.” “This is majestic, even grander than any of the garden I saw. I mean, it’s a field of flowers with different variations! How is that pos

Chapter 28I walked closer to where Caelum stands, noticing his blood shot eyes, his black travelling cloak shimmering with golden dust, his dark brown curls glinting as the dust fell from them. I glanced down to see him holding some flowers in his hands. He inclined his neck to the side, blinking his eyes before he held out his hand, letting the flowers float around me, magically suspended as though it was held by some twine. I am still shocked at how the flowers float around me that when he speaks, I jumped slightly for his voice is full of sadness, “This is an act of responsibility for I have willingness to become better. Humans call it an apology,” His sad stormy eyes stared at me with remorse, yet his face remains emotionless and handsome. I took the flowers one by one and asked, “What’s this flower?” “Hyacinth,” he gave me a small smile before dragging himself out of the room, his form weary . I caressed the flower, settling down on the chair. I pushed the curtain slightly

Chapter 30CAELUMThe field dissolves back to the front doors of the Manor, the gloomy sky looming above us. I pushed open the door and quickly headed to the kitchen, my thoughts still in disarray as I snatched a bottle of water from the fridge. “Oh! You’re here…I am about to finish.” Rubin stated as she stirred the pan and tossed the egg on a plate. I settled down on a seat and observed her as she makes her way to where I am sitting. “Here!” I was surprised when she gave me a cloud shaped sunny side up.“I taught her how to do that. I’m glad she easily caught up with everything. ” Aeon mused, nodding at his student who is smiling wide.“Great to know you are being fond of her.” I stated at him before poking the egg with my fork, a little bit dubious. After deciding that the egg is not harmless, I gave it a little bite and take some toast from the centre of the table, spreading raspberry jam on it. “Food here on earth is just brilliant! I haven’t tried all of these and I intend to
