《Yours Faithfully》Chapter 14
Advertisement
I was completely engrossed in my book, that I didn't noticed someone entering the room. I looked up when I heard someone clear her throat. It was Amy. I smiled at her and ask her to sit with me, putting down my book . She came and sat down beside me.
"Happy birthday sweetheart" she said while kissing my forehead.
"I think this is the 10th time you are wishing me" I said, giggling. She just smiled and hugged me.
"Ahh. Now come on get up. You have to get ready now"
"Huh? But why?"
"Don't be silly. Since it's your birthday, Lucifer obviously has something planned"
"Ohh"
"First, come downstairs. He is waiting for you to start lunch".
After having lunch, I made my way to the bedroom and saw a beautiful dress lying on the bed. It was simple but elegant. Perfect for a warm day. Amy asked me to get changed, so I hurried my way to the washroom and freshen up.
After dressing up, I was standing before the mirror admiring the dress, when a pair of hands wrapped itself around me. My husband pulled me closer to his chest and starts kissing my neck. He was dressed up in a grey suit, looking as handsome as ever.
"Dress is beautiful" I said softly.
"Not more than you" he said huskily, kissing my cheek which caused me blush hard. "But something is missing" he said. I look at him through the mirror, confused. All of a sudden, he pulled out a blue box from his suit jacket. I recognized the box instantly. Tiffany and Co.
When he opened the box, a loud gasp escaped my lips. It was a beautiful diamond necklace, with small flower shaped earrings. Again, simple but elegant.
"I... I can't take it.... It's too much " I said worriedly.

"Nothing is too much. Even the whole world is not enough for you, wife" saying this, he helped me with the jewelry to wear it. Once I was fully ready, he said, "Perfect" with a small smile dancing on his face.
"Where are we going?" I asked Lucifer like a curious cat, once we were seated in the car. He only shook his head, smirking at me. When silence followed behind, I decided to ask him again, "Can you tell me how long it will take? I'm getting thirsty" I faked a cough and give him my best puppy face. But that stubborn being, denied to tell again and handed me a bottle of water.
"Be patient, love. Patient" he said while smirking.
'Stubborn'
I huffed and turned away from him to look outside. Just then only I noticed that we were going out of the main city. Now, it was more greenery outside. Sky was clear, free from the city noises, free from the busy people. I felt peaceful just looking outside. On the other hand, the scenery was also fueling my curiosity. But I decided not to ask Lucifer anything because I know he's not gonna tell me.
I sighed looking outside and relaxed myself, leaning back to the seat. After a moment, I felt Lucifer's hand grabbing my hand and bringing it up to his lips, to kiss it lightly. Like always, he hold my hand while driving with another hand. I smiled at him and maintained the comfortable silence.
By the time we reached, it started getting dark. Lucifer pulled over in front of a house. It was not as big as Lucifer's mansion but still big enough. It was simply wow. I love the place where the house was situated. It was more closer to the environment. There was a big garden in the front yard, with beautiful flowers and I instantly fell in love with those.

Lucifer took my hand and slowly made his way to the house. Lucifer already had the key, so he opened the door. Once the door was opened, I enter slowly, looking all around the house. If the outside view of the house was wow, then the interior was mind blowing. Everything was decorated tastefully. They were neither too much nor too less. Accurate taste was it.
"This place is so beautiful. It's amazing" I said, totally in love with the place. When he said nothing, I turned towards him. He was smiling at me, looking with those eyes again. He took few steps towards me and pulled me into a toe curling kiss.
"Let's go. I won't be able to stop myself if we don't go now" he said after leaving me panting from his kiss. He grabbed my wrist and lightly start tugging me towards a door. When it was opened, I realized it was a back door. I noticed a small pathway leading to another wooden door in the backyard. Lucifer tugged me by my waist and leads to that wooden door.
When we reached closer, Lucifer stepped aside and gestured me to open the door instead.
'Strange' I thought to myself.
I slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open, when a loud voice came making me jump in shock.
"SURPRISE!!!"

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.

8 154SWTOR: The Alpha Legacy - Alexandra 'Under the Black'
This was the first character backstory and first full story in The Old Republic era after 'Project Alpha: A Summary: 'Old Republic to Current Operational Era'. This one was actually written much later. Several of the full stories were done and there was a need to introduce the Mother of several of the main characters. Much later on I started a timeline and this seemed to fit nowhere else, but right after the introduction story: Alexandra De'nabre lost everything on one of the moons of Felucia. But life found her again. As a Mirialan Jedi, she was sworn to the Unity and to the Force; casting both away once she believed both left her. The Force finds her again. And brings her back a part of her life she believed she lost. Her children. But in a cruel twist of fate, the very Republic she once defended is suddenly out to get her. Not because in her new life as an infamous pirate she committed crimes against them. The children she lost are now wards of the Republic and a special project called: Alpha. And they will stop at nothing to keep Alexandra from reclaiming them.

8 140It's Hard to be a Hero in a Parallel World
A hero is transported from the real world into a parallel world similar to the video game he's been obsessed with for the past few weeks. The problem is, this game is way too difficult, especially for a nerdy gamer boy to survive. He decides to leave the hero-duty to someone who is actually competent while he looks for a way home. He hopes his knowledge of the game will help him stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, as one would imagine, the normal events of a game would change drastically when the main character is nowhere to be found. Read as the unlikely hero gets into trouble with his new companions, while trying to survive life in this parallel world. This is an original story that takes inspiration from and pokes fun at many novels, video games, anime, and the stereotypes and tropes that appear in those media.
8 186Cairo
Beaten, Scarred, tortured, and deprived of all emotion, Cairo wants nothing more but to find his happiness again. After being imprisoned and forced to murder for his survival inside of the Gulag for five years, a conundrum of mysterious explosions leads to his long-overdue escape. Seven years have passed since then, and for the past six months, Cairo has been staying at a lowly bar in the small town of Worcester. With the world around him filled with the Gifted—those who possess inhuman abilities—most of his days are spent hiding in the shadows of his hood, avoiding any and all human contact. However, once an axe-wielding maniac barges into the tavern he’s staying at, Cairo is forced into an unpredictable situation: save the innocent bartender that is forced under the axe, or run away, just like he always has. Urging to fight against the sight of bloodshed, Cairo stops the axe-wielder, only to realize that the bartender planned this, hoping to reveal his identity from the start, and uncover the hidden truths lying within his hood.
