Raze's Point of View
"Baba, babanana... nanana~"
I quickly turned off my cellphone when it rang. I had a lot of paperwork to finish, and my brilliant brother was busy with something else.
It seems like there's an adventure going on between him and Zein, and he didn't even manage to include me.
"Baba, babanana... nanana~"
I hung up on whoever was calling on the other line again. I can't do multitasking. I prefer to stick to one thing at a time.
I leaned back in the swivel chair and looked at myself in the large mirror I had made. I wanted to see every detail of the beauty God had given me.
Why was I born with this drop-dead handsome and oh-so-sexy body? I mean, it's too much. But it's okay for me to admit it.
I took my cellphone and turned on the camera.
*Click~*
I looked at myself on my phone and just sighed. I'm perfect.
I pressed the home button, and to my surprise, several missed calls from Allison flashed on the screen.
Did I mention… It's just a little thing, but deep inside, she's dying for my attention.
I called her, but she's not answering again. Are you upset?
Hey~
My phone vibrated, and I laughed at Allison's text to me.
"How dare you! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO IGNORE ME! JERK!"
I laughed and screenshotted her message, then made it my wallpaper. Oh well, not bad. My wallpaper is always a picture of me.
I was adjusting my seat when someone knocked. My secretary shyly entered and walked towards me.
"Do you need anything, sir?"
Why is my secretary so weird? She wants me to give her orders, but I don't give her any.
I looked at her chest as she bowed. Well, awesome. But I am not interested.
"Actually, I want you to close the door and get outside. Don't stress me."
She snorted and gave me a hard time. She turned and marched away. I looked at her legs and couldn't help but whistle.
"Oh, wait!" I stopped her.
She faced me with a wide grin. I couldn't take my eyes off her white and smooth legs.
"Yes, sir? Do you need me— I mean, anything sir?"
"Naked."
Her eyes widened and her face turned even redder. She almost shuddered with excitement.
"Oh, okay sir. Hihi. You said so."
My eyes widened in surprise.
She started to take off her blouse.
"Hey! Don't flirt with me. Take off your heels." I ordered.
That's right for Allison. She loves high heels. I'm too embarrassed to buy them because I'm too handsome to buy heels. And I need to make up for it.
She's sulking because I didn't answer her call. Even though I don't know how to be affectionate, I will try.
Annoyed, she threw her heels on the sofa and ran outside.
I whistled.
It's tiring. I feel like I want to get a facial— What is that? Ah, whatever.
I was just settling into my seat when someone knocked on the door. My eyes widened when I saw Nazzer and Nicky.
"Such a flirt." Nicky said with a wink as she looked at the door before me.
I looked back.
"Whoa! Reunion ba 'to?" → "Whoa! Is this a reunion?"
I approached Nazzer and gave him a fist bump. "Nice hair." He commented.
I grinned and motioned for them to sit down. But Nicky was already sitting at my table. Oh my. This woman really doesn't know how to be shy.
"My only one?" Nicky called to Nazzer.
I laughed out loud when they called me. How corny! How over-the-top! Disgusting. Nauseating. It's— Yuck.
"Yes, my girl?" Nazzer asked.
The guy's body has become wider, and it is noticeable that he really likes sleeveless clothes. While Nicky has a haircut down to her shoulders. Nothing has changed because she still loves black lipstick and killer eyebrows.
"Please hand me those heels." He pointed to the heels I took from my secretary.
"Hey, wait! That's not yours!"
Nazzer took the heels and threw them to Nicky, who caught them. "What I touched is mine." He said as he measured the heels.
I just sighed. The other side of the demons from Hell University. I just laughed.
"That's for Allison but sure, you can have it." I surrendered.
"It looks like you and Zein's sister are getting along well." Nazzer commented.
I sat down next to him. "No, but what do you expect from me? I'm a girl-magnet."
"I didn't know you thought so highly of yourself. Where's the cold leader of Devil God Warriors?"
I just laughed. It's hard to pretend to be cold when I know I'm not. I have to act like Ace. He's as cold as ice and a man of few words. For the sake of our plan, I had pretended to be like him.
"And I remember. Why did you threaten Ace?" I asked Nazzer. "I still remember it. You threatened him that he would fall and be removed from his position and that's not part of our plan." I asked out of curiosity.
I always follow them so I know everything that's going on. I also often go in and out of Dark Hell Jail, but I do it more carefully, especially since I know that someone has ordered the Headmistress to follow us.
Luckily, DHJ was built far from Hell University itself, so they didn't reach it very far.
"You can see us but you can't see Madame Violet?" Nazzer replied with a laugh.
"You mean?"
"Yes. He was watching those moments and Ace felt it too. Thank goodness he didn't see you."
I just blew out a breath. I guess I wasn't careful. I know. But what I'm wondering about is Mr. Francisco. He's seen me a few times but he hasn't spoken.
Hmmm…
"Is this a throwback?" I asked, laughing.
Nicky shook her head as she ate an apple. She looked out the rearview mirror where she could see the entire area.
"Do you know anything about what's happening with Ace and Zein?"
I was taken aback by Nicky's question, her eyes still wide open. I don't know what she was getting at. Is it about what Ace told me?
"Yeah. He doesn't want help."
"Really?" She turned to us with a bright smile on her lips. "Would you be jealous if I told you he approached us to ask for help?" She asked, which surprised me greatly.
I'm confused. Why did he ask them for help when I'm the one who can help him the most?
"Why would he come to you?"
"For help."
"I can help him more than you can." I said firmly.
She grinned.
"Yes, of course… Maybe—"
"Nicky!" Nazzer warned, making her laugh.
Nicky stood up, carrying the heels because she was wearing the ones she took from the sofa.
The smile still hasn't left her lips, and I have a bad feeling about that.
"What are you trying to say?"
"What do you want to know?"
She motioned for Nazzer to stand up. They were ready to leave, but Nazzer said something more.
"We'll help Ace, don't worry. At least we still know how to show gratitude." Nazzer said.
They left me hanging. I leaned back on the sofa and calmed my wandering mind. It felt like it was going to explode because of the unstoppable influx of details.
Is my brother hiding something from me?
Will we ever go back to a dark chapter of our lives?
Where we were filled with secrets that gradually became our weaknesses.
Being so tired and with so many things going through my mind, I fell asleep on the sofa.
I looked around. There were so many flowers around. It felt like I was in a garden. It was vast and seemed endless.
"Lux! Why are you here now?!"
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked at a woman not far from me. She was standing with her hair blowing in the wind.
"S-Sam?"
I approached but she ran away.
"Chase me! Now show me that your brain isn't just filled with air!" She laughed, full of mockery.
As she said, I chased after her. I don't know what kind of feeling I'm experiencing right now. The woman who shaped who I am today is right in front of me.
"Sam! Wait for me!"
"I waited for you, you didn't come. I waited, Lux."
As she ran, tears escaped her eyes but she kept smiling. My heart skipped a beat. The pain.
"Sorry… Baby, I'm sorry."
"That's nothing. I love you so it's okay."
I stopped to catch my breath. She stopped too but she was far away from me. She laughed loudly.
"You are still weak! Be brave! You don't always laugh at problems. Don't let them dictate to you. Set yourself free. Live your life the way you want it, not the way they want."
She leaned against the tree and raised her eyebrows at me. I couldn't speak.
"Baby, I miss you."
She went around the tree.
"You love him! Not me!"
I was confused.
"I love you… so much."
"No… I'm not the one you love. He is! I hate you!"
I was dizzy and sweating profusely. My heart was beating so fast that I was gasping for breath.
I touched my cheek when it felt wet. I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes.
I'm not the same anymore, Sam. You changed me. Your love changed me.
"Baby, I miss you."
She went around the tree.
"You love him! Not me!"
I was confused.
"I love you… so much."
"No… I'm not the one you love. He is! I hate you!"
I was dizzy and sweating profusely. My heart was beating so fast that I was gasping for breath.
I touched my cheek when it felt wet. I leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes.
I'm not the same anymore, Sam. You changed me. Your love changed me. Thank you.
