Two days later*knock* *knock*"I'm coming in," Yuri said and opened the door. She peeked inside and saw Leah sitting on her bed with a book in her hands. Leah was wearing glasses since her eyesight was weak. Leah lowered her book down and took off her glasses as she looked at Yuri standing near her door. "What?" Leah asked while looking at Yuri with a deadpan face. "I just wanted to talk," Yuri said and Leah crossed her legs together as she pats the area beside her for Yuri to come and sit.Yuri smiled and walked up to her. She sat beside Leah and looked at the book she was holding in her hands. "It's very late...why aren't you asleep?" Leah asked, her eyes focused on the closed book in her hands."I could ask you the same," Yuri said and Leah sighed. "You know I have insomnia," Leah said and Yuri's eyes saddened. She knew very well what Leah was talking about. It's sad to see her like this...back then she used to sleep without a care in the world. She was such a deep sleeper but no

"Have you caught feelings for him?" Leah asked Yuri as they both sat on the stairs at the backside of the cafe. Yuri quickly sat straight once she heard Leah. It would be a lie to say no because it was pretty much obvious to both of them."I mean...like who won't. He is not that bad." Yuri said and Leah gave her a side glance. "Not that bad? People like him...can be fake." Leah said after a pause. The biggest example she had for this was Tobias but obviously, Yuri wasn't aware of the history."You're right...but...still. Why would he act?" Yuri asked while turning her head to look at Leah. Her voice was slightly high-pitched...she sounded like she was about to start an argument with Leah anytime soon.Leah faintly smiled while looking up at the half-moon. She wasn't surprised as if she didn't expect anything from anyone. It was astonishing to her. A man coming out of nowhere and taking over Yuri's conscience...she even forgot who she was talking to. She was arguing with someone who

"I would like to have you."This was enough to make her raise her head. She looked at him with a stern expression but her eyes looked furious. The expression on her face made him finally realize she was nothing like before or was acting like this just with him because he is dangerous.Whatever it was...he knew...she wasn't like before. She has changed and so has he. It doesn't matter to him what look she gives him...he will accept every side of her. Trying to trap each of them in his cage. "I'm busy." She sounded rather uninterested. He narrowed his gaze once he realized she wouldn't listen to him and forcing her out wasn't his thing. He took her respect as his. Only if he showed how crazy he was for her...she would probably run away. "How much do you earn in a day?" He asked but she ignored his question and served the customer beside him. "Here, enjoy." She greeted the customer politely and grabbed the money from the counter, putting it in the counter's cash drawer.If there was s

"Are you eating on time?" Leah asked Yuri on the phone call while sitting in the living room of her small apartment. Pulling closer to her chest as she waited for an answer. After a pause, she finally heard her voice."Yes, You don't need to worry." Yuri replied, "I see." Leah said and leaned her head back against the couch. Her back was aching for some reason, maybe she was overworked. "Then, I need to get up early in the morning. I'll sleep now, good night." Yuri said and Leah wished her a good night back before she cut off the call. Putting her phone beside her on the couch, she sat there silently.Wondering about Igneel.She can't lose her cafe, that was for sure but after knowing his reality she didn't have the guts to go stand against him. He might not hurt her at the moment but she still doesn't believe anyone or anything.Why does a man like him want her cafe?It was clear, he was messing with her. She wasn't dumb, no one is. She lay down on the couch and started to play a

One Two Three Four Leah looked around the cafe as she counted the number of customers. It wasn't a very busy day to be exact. Leah turned her head towards Ava and told her to take off for today since there weren't many customers and it was already noon. Ava happily agreed and went inside the back room. She was a college student too, so keeping her here for no reason was unnecessary.Leah sat down on the chair and took out her phone with a sigh. She frowned when she saw a message from an unknown number in her notification."What is this?" She whispered under her breath as she opened the chat box. It was a picture but it was blurred. She tapped the picture several times thinking her wifi connection was weak but that wasn't the case. The picture was blurred. Why would anyone send her a blurry picture? She decided to ignore it as she exited the chat boss only to meet another notification popping up on her scene. This time it was a message from another unknown number."Why don't you
