• LUCY   CHAPTER 23: FIRST SOUL

  CHAPTER 23: FIRST SOULWe woke up early because they planned to visit Mister Romero for the second time for Nathaniel and me but the first time for Jeine. We arrived before nine o'clock in the morning. It was a good thing that the place is a farm that is located in a province. Most of the people there wake up early to work."Good morning, Mister Romero," Nathaniel greeted the old man, and we watched him walk towards us."I did not expect you to come back sooner, Attorney Montes." He even smiled at us. We did the same except for Jeine, who looks at him like he was already convicted as a murderer."We're here for another interview with the prosecutor." Nathaniel looks at Jeine, who remained looking so severe."Please come and have a sit," Mister Romero offered as we followed him to the garden setting where we stayed the last time we came to interview him."Aren't we supposed to talk inside the house?" Jeine asks, and th

  CHAPTER 22: CONFLICTSMy head was a bit heavy when I wake up. Only to find him watching me. He even smiled when my eyes open more exhaustively than the usual.“W-what time is it?” I asked. “It’s already past two in the afternoon,” he answered and fixed the hair covering half of my face.“Don’t let your hair cover your beautiful face, especially in front of me,” he said and smile.“Why did you not wake me up?” I asked and tried to get up from the bed, but he refused to and slowly pulled my arm back to him.“Where you not able to slept last night?” he asked.Was he trying to tease me now?“I-I did not…” I could not continue what I am about to say, for he covers my mouth with his lips.It was a trap, I knew it.I slowly touched his waist and pinched it a little. Then he laughs.

• LUCY   CHAPTER 21: SHE CAME

  CHAPTER 21: SHE CAMEI watched Nuxiel as she came inside my room and seated at the bed. “We have a visitor,” she said and crossed her arms above her chest.“Who?” I asked.“Nathaniel’s ex-fiance,” she answered and forcefully lie down on my bed.“W-why?” I asked her through my mind is not working because of her news.“She came this morning. I don’t know exactly why. I thought they’re not together anymore,” she answered and closes her eyes.“Is she going to stay here?” I asked so I would know if I have to move out.“Maybe, for a couple of days,” she answered, her eyes are still closed.“Should I pack my things out?” I asked.She suddenly sits on the bed and looks at me with furrowed eyebrows.“We have a guestroom and don’t even think of going anyw

• LUCY   CHAPTER 20: LOVE

  CHAPTER 20: LOVETo my surprise, when he followed me inside my room and closed the door. He took my hand and grip my wrist. I almost bumped on him when he suddenly pulled me closer."P-please, don't do that to me. I beg you," Nathaniel said. I could not answer back to my heart is beating fast. I can feel the warmth and smell the sweet scent of his breath on my face.My mind cannot concentrate. What was Nathaniel begging for? What did I do?I have a lot of questions in mind that I want him to answer.I almost faint on the loud beatings in my heart when I felt his lips on my forehead before he pulled me closer and embraced me tightly.His hands were on my back and the back of my head. Why do I felt pain and fear in his touch?"I-I cannot understand what you've been trying to tell me," I mumbled.Then I felt his body stiffened. His hand on my back disappeared, and so as his hand at the end of

• LUCY   CHAPTER 19: FREAK OUT

  CHAPTER 19: FREAK OUTI know he freaks out when he runs out of the house. I thought my life up here would be really dull. I never thought it would be this fun meeting some evil humans. I did not know I know that I could actually freak them out. But I should be curious about why my ability to read people's minds, souls, and background is like a remote control losing the power of its battery. I cannot control it. For Hades' sake!"Hey, baby. What are you doing here? You should be resting." I almost jumped out from where I was standing. Then I suddenly look at the man who just talked."Nathaniel," I whispered. He thoughtfully looks at me as he tries to hold the child's arm and took him back to his room.W-wait, did I just saw something at the back of his neck?Was it a number?I slowly walk towards them to see the child, but Nathaniel already closed the door.Shame!

• LUCY   CHAPTER 18: THE DEVIL

  "So, you did think of me that way?" he abruptly looks at me wondering. I tried to chew my words when I look at him.I think I just said something wrong. I gave Nathaniel a smile that makes him stare at me for quite some time.After that, we didn't talk anymore. Nathaniel was already busy on his cellphone. So I tried to take my cellphone out but to my regret for I forgot to charge it, and the battery is empty.Then I saw him stood up and went back to the park, parked just a few walks from where we are. He opened the driver's door, and I think he took something from his bag and went back to where I am sitting. I look at the other side, pretending that I did not saw him went to his car."Here,' he said, which makes me look at him.He gave me something that is a white colored rectangular shape object that I almost refuse to accept."It's a charger," he said. So I took the charger and in
