When Maxen finally listened to her and lay down properly, they didn't talk to each other. Cosette kept her mouth shut while staring at him to let him rest. Meanwhile, the former tried to avoid her presence as much as possible. But how could he? She was literally digging a hole in his forehead with her gaze! "Stop staring," he muttered, breaking the silence between them. "Just what do you want from me?" Maxen set his eyes to her when he couldn't take the undivided attention anymore. Cosette raised her…-

Cosette wiped her tears with her arm before she gazed at the teenage boy lying on the hospital bed. There was no doubt this was Maxen. Although he had some weight — unlike the bewitching devil he was described in the novel — and the author's meaning of delinquent was being 'bullied,' her heart knew it was Maxen, the villain of the novel. After she scared off those delinquents who beat Maxen up, she called the driver to pick her up, and they drove to the nearest hospital. Three hours later, Maxen was…

Cosette didn't even have a hard time going out of the enormous mansion of the Blac residence. She only told the butler she needed someone to drive him to a place — no excuses needed or anything of the sort — and a black sedan was already waiting for her outside. Thanks to her excellent memory, she knew the school Maxen attended. It was a school of delinquents, situated in a town far away from the capital. 'I looked it up on the internet and classes are still ongoing. I am only allowed to take a leave…

There was bafflement and surprise in Lucia's face when Cosette uttered such words. But she was still relieved that the latter seemed ready to reach out to her father. After all, their relationship was just growing further by the years that Cosette even addressed her father as Master or Chairman. After Cosette finished the delicious meal she had never had before, she had nothing else to do but stay inside her room. Lucia told her that Cosette took a week's leave from her school. Since this was a world…

"… wait, what? Cosette, who?" The maid raised her brows at the misplaced puzzlement of the young miss of the clan. There was a moment of silence between them before the maid called her name with a questioning tone. Only then did Cosette snap back to the current lapse. "Leave me alone," Cosette ordered in a dead tone, looking away. "But young miss." "Leave." The maid let out a shallow breath as her young miss' personality was getting cold every passing day. But she couldn't do anything about it as…

Cosette weakly opened her eyes, shielding her eyes at the warm sunlight hitting her face. A moan slipped past her lips, letting her mind buffer for another day she was thankful to have. When she had enough blinks, her brows furrowed at the unfamiliarity of the window. 'Huh?' she looked around, only to get more baffled at the entire princess-like room. Her mind momentarily went blank as she tried to recall what happened before she slept. Nothing. After reading the long-awaited side stories of the Devil's…

"Let's call off the engagement." A man and a woman sat across from each other inside the fancy restaurant. There was no one other than them as guests, making it look like a special day for the two of them. But… despite the cozy and warm atmosphere, the woman's eyes were cold. "Cosette, this…" the man trailed off, trying to process her words. Cosette watched the man sitting across from her coldly, tapping her red nails against her lap lightly. That man was her lover, Ezekiel Stone. The love of her…

"I'm just telling you in case, if you want you can try it out, I'm sure we'll encounter something else before we get to Zenith City" "I hope we encounter something, I'll dice it in two before it gets closer to us," Gabriel said. The group quickly gathered their belongings and made their way downstairs, where the girls were already waiting. The inn's common room was now more lively, with travelers having their meals and engaging in conversations. "I didn't think this village was popular" Max…

"You should wait till we get to the inn we'll be staying, we'll need to spend some time here" the rider spoke. "At least it's safe," Lynx said as they arrived at their location. A medium-sized inn beautifully decorated with flowers, the rider parked the carriage beside the inn and came down to feed the horses. "I have a friend here, let's meet up in an hour and continue to Zenith City," the rider said. "Okay" Lynx was the first to the door and he pushed it open and walked inside without…

"So what should we do, we can't just wait here expecting them to catch up with us" "I don't think we need to, Melissa is running towards us," Rebecca said and they all turned their eyes toward the direction she was coming from. Surprisingly she was extremely fast, as she reached where they were within seconds, she immediately dropped to the ground in exhaustion as soon as she reached, she had been running at full speed for some seconds now, and she even lost track of Alex. "What about Alex?"…
