(MARRIED TO THE DEVIL SON)VOLUME 3

5

Suddenly the world around her disappeared and the only thing she could see was the mysterious stranger sitting alone at the dark corner. Unaware, she stood up from her seat and started to walk toward him. It was as if he was calling to her, pulling her toward him with an unknown force.

Heaven didn't resist. She wanted to see him and to know him, but she couldn't ignore the part of her that was terrified. He didn't seem to have good intentions. What if he was an enemy and wanted to cause her harm? What if she was putting herself in a dangerous situation?

But again, the curious part of her was stronger than the fearful part. She wanted to know what he wanted from her, otherwise he would keep appearing in her dreams. Maybe even nightmares.

When she was close to where he was sitting he suddenly stood up and walked away.

"Wait!" Heaven called, but he ignored her and continued further.

Heaven lifted her dress slightly and hurried her steps. She pushed through people, keeping her gaze fixated on his back as to not lose him in the crowd. He was walking fast and getting further away from her.

Afraid that she would never get the chance to see him she began to run after him. She followed him out of the hall, then out of the mansion.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" She even waved her hand, but he kept on walking.

How could he be so fast? She was loosing him.

Soon he walked out of the gate and she was right behind him but when she came arrived at the gate, he was gone. Just like that, he disappeared.

Heaven kept looking around, confused as to why he ran away from her. Wasn't he the one who visited her dreams every night?

She turned to the guards who stood at the gate. "Excuse me. Who is the man that just left?" She asked.

The guards looked at each other. "What man?" One of them asked.

Heaven looked closely at them. "Are you human?" She whispered.

"No, My Lady." the other one grinned, showing his fangs.

Then how did they not see him? She was sure he left through the gate.

"Heaven!" Zarin came running to her. "Where did you go? You know I will be held responsible if something happens to you." He scolded.

"Zarin, did you see the man with silver eyes?" It was as if she didn't listen to what he was saying.

"No. Why?"

"Do you know a demon with silver eyes? Anyone with such eyes?" She asked desperately.

"No! Are you looking for someone?"

Heaven sighed. "I saw him in there. In the party. He just left."

Zarin was utterly confused. "Who is he? Who are you talking about?"

Heaven kept staring at the gate. She lost him. Now, how would she know what he wanted?

"Heaven?" Zarin tapped her shoulder. "What is wrong?" He asked when she turned to him.

"Nothing. Let's go home." She said feeling disappointed.

"I don't know." Heaven said letting herself fall on her bed. She stared at the ceiling.

He exists, she thought to herself. She had just met the man in her dreams. What was he doing there?

"Heaven! Are you listening to me." Zarin loomed over her.

"Zarin. I need to get some sleep before the morning comes. Thank you for taking me out."

"Are you asking me to leave?" He asked, confounded.
