《The Love That Still Exists ✓》|•|Chapter 8|•|

As Ashok was talking to Dev, his friends barged into the library and Ashok was quite surprised on seeing them.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We have come here to fulfill your wish. Dev, tell your Father to get ready. He would be riding a horse."
"Uncle, you can tell him this yourself. I am going somewhere."
Ashok shook his head and his friends made him wear a sherwani. Dev kissed his cheek and ran from there. As he was running out of his House, he saw his Mother in her bridal wear and her friends were taking her to the lawn which was decorated in a grand way. Ishwari saw him and stopped him.
"Dev, where are you going?"
"To get your daughter in law."
"But we are getting married today. Won't you be here?"
"You are getting married for the second time. Let me secure my first time."
Ishwari chuckled and Dev left on his bike.

Sonakshi stepped out of her flat as her Parents bid her bye. She pressed the button to call the lift and as the doors of the lift opened, she saw Dev and rolled her eyes. He immediately got out of the lift and looked at her bags.
"You are going somewhere?"
Sonakshi gave him a fake wide smile and turned around to descend down the stairs. Dev followed her and started apologizing.
"Sonakshi, listen to me."
"I don't want to listen to anything. You can go to hell."
"I will go there but atleast let me hold your suitcase. It looks very heavy."
"I'll manage. I don't need your help."
"But atleast listen to me baby."
"Don't call me baby."
"I won't but please let me hold your bag."

"I said that I don't need your help."
"But you live on the 8th floor. And now you won't take the lift because of your stubbornness."
"Bleach that lift."
"I am sorry na Sona."
"I don't need your sorry."
"Okay. But let me hold your bag. We are still on the 6th floor."
Sonakshi held the bag in her other hand and continued walking down.
"I am very sorry Sona. I know it is my mistake. I shouldn't have taken out all the frustration on you."
"Yet you did."
"I know. That's why I am apologizing."
"Not enough."
"I know. You know, I have been looking for flats so that we both can stay in Mumbai. I got a very nice 2BHK flat in Lokhandwala. It's a nice and cozy place."
Sonakshi stopped for a moment but then again continued walking. Dev frowned but then followed her again. They were now on the 2nd floor. Dev held her hand and the suitcase dropped from her hand, right on his foot. He shrieked in pain and Sonakshi tried to control her laughter. As he saw her controlling her laughter, he stopped struggling and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. He then held her hands and looked in her eyes.
"I know that I don't deserve your apology. But give me a chance, and this time, I promise that this will be my last chance."
Sonakshi looked at him, debating with herself whether she should give him a chance or not. She then shrugged her shoulders, indicating him to speak. Dev smiled and held his ears.
"I know that I have always been a jerk. But the thing is that after I resigned from my job and didn't get any assignments for photography, I was lost. I didn't even know what to do. On the other hand, I envied you because you got to do what you wanted to and you were even successful in it. And I honestly thought that once you get successful in your career, you won't need me anymore. I thought that you will forget me once you achieve your dreams. I don't even know why I was thinking like that. I know that you could never forget me. But I know that none of my words would do justice for what I have done. But now when I have realised, I don't want to let you go anywhere. Just give me a chance."

She looked at him and narrowed her eyes at him.
"Fine! But I'll do the interiors of the House."
Dev sighed in relief and nodded his head.
"Atleast take the bag. I have been carrying it for so long."
"I was telling you to give it to me since we were on the 8th floor."
"Then take it."
She handed the bag to him started walking down the stairs. Dev finally smiled and followed her.
***
Ishwari and Ashok were married again and as they stood up from the altar, Sonakshi and Dev reached there. They both grinned widely on seeing Sonakshi and she ran to hug them. They hugged her tightly and welcomed Dev for a family hug.
***
Sonakshi was on the stage, cracking some jokes. When she didn't hear any laughter from the audience, she looked at the only couple who was at the restaurant and were busy in talking to each other. She frowned at them and cracked another joke. On getting no response from them, Dev came forward and gave her a glass of water.
"You need to gargle."
Sonakshi whined and stepped down from the stage. As they walked to the exit of the restaurant, she started complaining to Dev.
"They weren't even listening to me. They were busy in talking to each other. Is it even fair Dev?"

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]

Written in the journals of antiquity, lost in time, a scholar wrote: ‘This horrific cataclysm that we face was brought about by humans…’ However, these events are long gone. A longstanding peace has descended to Orbis. Yet, to spite the efforts of the saviours of yore, a progenitor of this calamity has been invited back by ritual. It seeks the return of these very ancient events. A silent peril is on the way.
