851 AD“Hannah, there’s something I need to tell you,” Garin said to her at the dinner table a week after the incident with Zarif and Gentel.It had taken Hannah a few days to recover from her assault and she was up and about in next to no time. She didn’t seem angry or bitter about her assault. It was almost like she had forgotten all about it.Garin discerned that she was acting that way because just as he still had some attributes of a demon, she still had the heart of an angel. She was all smiles and never once spoke of finding the men and getting justice for what they’d done to her. She was still a pure-hearted angel and he was still a bloodthirsty demon.He decided that it would be better to tell Hannah the truth about what he had done to those men. He had thought about telling her about Gentel’s and Zarif’s involvement but he decided against it. What he did was all him and no one else and he had to take full responsibility for his actions. He didn’t care what his siblings thoug

“How incompetent can the both of you be?” The Devil yelled at Zarif and Gentel. He was enraged because God was having more success than he was in breaking the love chain and winning the bet. He hated to admit it but God’s strategy of using love as his weapon was proving to be more effective than anything he was coming up with.“It’s not our fault, Father. It’s the stupid rules of this bet that’s making it difficult to get results,” Gentel claimed. “She’s right, Father. We would have broken them up by now if we didn’t have to play by God’s rules,” Zarif added. “These are all a bunch of useless excuses,” The Devil said angrily, causing the pit of hell to tremble due to his rage, “The rules say we cannot harm Garin or his angel but it doesn’t say that we can’t hurt the people they care about. Kill someone they love, cause them pain and make them suffer so the chain breaks.” The devil said. “It doesn’t matter how many of their friends and family we hurt or kill, Father. It will only b

Sammy looked at Isabelle from head to toe with an intense look in his eyes. It almost felt like he was checking her out and judging from the way he was biting his lips, he really liked what he saw and didn’t even try to hide it.Isabelle held on tightly to Josh’s arm because his brother was making her very uncomfortable but at least he didn’t hate her like his sister obviously did. Isabelle had never felt this amount of pressure and awkwardness in her entire life before because this was both personal and professional for her and she didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes but still wanted to be treated with respect."What's wrong with Janet? She seems crankier than usual?" Josh asked his brother."You know how she gets whenever you come around. Mom and Dad focus all of their attention on you and everyone ignores her and well, you know the gist." Sammy said casually."So, what have you been up to Sammy? Let me guess. You bought a new car?" Josh said."I thought you said you didn't follow

854 A.D..Three years after Garin's confession to Hannah about having killed those young men, things between them were back to normal.It took Hannah a while to understand what happened and understand that Garin still needed to work on being good and casting away his demonic instincts and she was ready and willing to help him through it. Her love for him was strong enough to accept his nature and she hoped it would be strong enough to change it as well.The couple were out in the river doing some chores and spending the beautiful day with each other and it indeed was a beautiful day with the way the sky was bright blue with puffy white clouds floating around.Hannah was inside the water doing some laundry while Garin was trying to catch some fish with his spear. She couldn't help but watch him splash around in the water trying to hunt their dinner and shockingly enough, he wasn't very good at fishing with a spear. Hannah was done with the laundry and all that was left was to dry t

Isabelle stepped out of Jennifer's room and angrily stormed away from that vicinity. She didn't know where exactly to go since Josh and his mother were still having their conversation in the bedroom so she found a spot at the top of the stairs and sat there."I can't believe that I just did that," Isabelle said to herself and put her palms over her face.She wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry because she was feeling multiple things at the same time. She had always been a rational person and didn't really like conflict or confrontation but she forgot all about that when it came to fighting for Josh. She started to realize that there was something about him that made her...more passionate about him and anything related to him. There was this fire in the pit of her stomach, put there by Josh and that fire was calm for now but it was threatening to take control and engulf anyone who tried to split her and Josh apart. She was in love with him and it didn't feel like any regular kind of l
