Night was falling
Exhausted Sheyaan had fallen asleep on the old swing on the terrace, her homework still beside her.
When the cold, whispering night breeze brushed against her face, her eyes slowly Opened
She noticed that her books had fallen down. Taking a deep breath, she picked up her notebook and quietly walked down from the terrace to her room
She was so tired that the moment she lay on the bed, she slipped into a deep sleep. But this time, her sleep was not ordinary.
Sheyaan dreamed of standing in a place where everything was golden yellow. In front of her stood a girl from whose body a glowing light was flowing outward. Suddenly.
a white light began to merge into that girl.
The girl's face was blurred, but behind her stood a magnificent and majestic palace. exactly like the ones Sheyaan had only seen in old books. Suddenly. a powerful voice echoed Sheyaan!
Where are you? Come out quickly Sheyaan woke up with a jolt.
Her entire body was drenched in sweat, her hair scattered across her face. Her heart was pounding like a hammer
Wha… what was all that? And that gir… girl...who was she
She whispered to herself, breathless. Her mind was still trapped between the palace and the glowing lights.
Sheyaan! Come downstairs quickly The voice came again It was Fangxi. Sheyaan jumped out of bed and ran toward the stairs.
Down in the hall, everyone was already seated. She walked closer and softly asked Fangxi what happened?
Did you call me Smiling, Fangxi replied
Yes, Sheyaan. Dad has decided that we should visit our ancestors' old house. We haven't been there for many years. What do you think
Sheyaan hesitated and said softly No… I don't want to go. I want to focus on my studies. Sorry. Seeing her innocence, Mr. Li spoke gently,
That's alright, dear. If you want to focus on your studies, it's fine. We'll go some other time.
As soon as he said that, dark clouds of hatred covered Lucy's face.
Dad! You can't change your decision because of this girl she shouted angrily.
But Mr. Li ended the discussion in a firm voice I've already decided. We'll go next time.
No more discussion. Manglong's Evil Intentions That was when Manglong seized the opportunity. Hiding his greed behind a fake smile he said
Well, brother ( mr li ) if we aren't going tomorrow why don't we prepare the property papers of Sheyaan's parents
If the property is transferred to her name in the future she'll only need to sign them.
Right Sheyaan Manglong looked straight at her. his greed clearly visible in his eyes.
Sheyaan felt suffocated.Without saying a word, she ran back to her room. (Sheyaan's uncle ) Mr. Li immediately stopped Manglong
No. There's no need for that right now. And even if there is, we'll arrange the papers from here Also I have to leave for the USA today.
Saying this he and Fangxi went to their rooms. Only Lucy and Manglong remained in the hall On one side Lucy's jealousy burning like fire
and on the other Manglong's dishonesty ready to create cracks within the walls of the house.
After some time Sheyaan gathered her courage and came downstairs, ready for school. As always she tightly held her bag with both hands.
Wait Sheyaan! I'll walk with you
Fangxi called from behind From the kitchen her aunt said Kids. have breakfast first.
In her soft and sweet voice Sheyaan replied No Auntie we'll eat something in the school canteen today.
Bye! They both left the house.
But the place Sheyaan had refused to go to today… she had no idea that one day in the future. she would be forced to go there.
On the other side, Alisha's life felt like it was hanging by a thread. She was frantically searching for Zayan (Zavian) everywhere.
Zayan! Zayan where are you? Please come out
Fear was clearly trembling in her voice. Hearing Alisha's cries, Younshu came rushing in.
Alisha! What happened Why are you shouting so much. Alisha pleaded. Younshu. Please help me.
Younshu replied apologetically. Sorry, Alisha…I'm leaving for the USA today with my boss
It's very impotent said while packing his things. Just then, a cold voice spoke from behind Zayan said ( Zavian) By the way, where do you work Younshu
Younshu replied in a slightly cool manner. Oh! We've been together for so long. yet we hardly know anything about each other.
I work as a secretary in ZXMG Company.
My boss is Mr. Li. and I'm travelling to the USA with him today. Zavian paused for a moment.
Mr. Li… Sheyaan's uncle. But he said nothing. Alisha cried. You'll enjoy your trip with your boss
but my life is in danger here Those thugs come every day and harass me. What am I supposed to do. Younshu said apologetically,
Sorry, Alisha…
I can't help you right now. I really have to leave. And with that, Younshu walked away
Zavian. ( Zayan) at down on the sofa like a king. Sipping his coffee calmly, he asked So What's the problem. Why do those thugs come.
Alisha quickly sat on the chair in front of him and said. Zayan (Zavian) please help me get rid of those thugs
In a cold and mysterious voice, Zavian asked But what will I get in return. Alisha felt uneasy. What do you want
You'll have to sign a contract with me. Zavian said with a smirk. Alisha began to sweat. What kind of contract?
Do you want my café. Just then, Kalene ( karan ) arrived with coffee. Boss! Why are you scaring Alisha so much.
Kalene ( karan) tried to lighten the situation by saying that the boss was just joking. Without thinking, Kalene sat down on the sofa in front of Zavian
and started drinking coffee himself. Zavian stared at him coldly. how dare you drink my favourite coffee in front of me. Kalene quickly said,
So… sorry boss.
Then Kalene moved to the chair beside Alisha and continued drinking coffee. In a sharp voice, Zavian ordered Give me the coffee.
Kalene widened his eyes and said. Boss you've already had five cups since morning. It could affect your health. Zavian extended his hand again and said. I said give me the coffee
and never dare to sit in front of me again. Poor Kalene had no choice but to hand it over. Alisha said anxiously,
You people are busy with your arguments. Tell me what I should do. Zavian looked at Alisha.
Something else was going on in his mind. He didn't want to kill Alisha. because she was his means to find new prey
Alisha tell me everything in detail. Zavian said.
Alisha explained how the neighboring café owner sent thugs because her café was more beautiful. and far more successful.
Zavian smirked.
Alright. Open your café
and when they come… call me. Thanking Zayan Alisha left.
When Alisha reached the café, she saw the same goons standing there with weapons in their hands.
Their boss was also with them the owner of the neighboring café who blocked Alisha's way. Alisha immediately called Zavian
"Zayan! Come quickly. these people are not letting me open the café. Zavian replied with a smile. Just wait a little I'm already coming.
When Zavian arrived there walking calmly, everyone was shocked. His aura was so dangerous that the goons were left speechless. Zavian took a deep breath and said
Come on. Let's sit and talk. The boss of the goons shouted.
What is there to talk about? Ever since this girl opened this palace. like café, no one even cares about my café
Zavian said, Alisha, open your café and take care of the guests who are coming.
Alisha replied, Okay.
and she walked away from there with a smile. Zavian smirked. So this is the problem? This will be solved in a snap.
He took out a shining contract. You want a crowd in your café, right. And you want to become a billionaire. Then sign this.
The owner of the neighboring café became blind with Greed Without thinking, he signed it. Zavian snapped his fingers. and
within moments, a crowd gathered inside the neighboring café. The café owner became happy, but then Zavian leaned closer and said into his ear.
This was a Soul Contract. You have seen as much of the world as you were meant to, because tonight you will come with me to Hell.
The goon started stammering, Wha...What are you saying?Zavian said in a cool manner. We will talk only after your soul is taken out. And yes wait for me.
Zavian waved goodbye with a cool gesture and started walking away. Before he could say anything else, Zavian disappeared like smoke right in front of his eyes.
Those who are greedy always make mistakes just like this café owner did today. That is why it is said that one should always make decisions thoughtfully, otherwise in haste a person digs his own grave.
Today, the same thing happened to this man
