《Yours Faithfully》Chapter 17
Advertisement
After dropping me home, Lucifer went to office. I waved him bye and went inside. As soon as I entered, Amy engulfed me into a big motherly hug. I hugged her back as a laugh escaped me.
She asked me about the party and I told her everything.
"I missed you there" I said.
"Awww dear. I was needed here. But I promise I'll go next time"
I smiled brightly at her and again talked for some time. Suddenly, she got up, excusing herself out of the room. When she returned, she brought a shopping bag with her.
"Your birthday present darling. Sorry for being late. I hope you like it" she said, handing me the bag.
"Amy.... You didn't have-"
"Shhh now. Open it"
I eagerly checked out my present. It was a beautiful sundress. I thanked her and hugged her again. She then went to resume her work and I came upstairs to our room.
As I slept through out the ride back home, I wasn't feeling sleepy now. I was placing the dress at my wardrobe, when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Mrs Salvatore. I tensed instantly.
'God save me'
I took a deep breath and calmed myself. I received the call and wished her.
"Good Afternoon, Mrs Salvatore"
"Is it true?"
"Huh? Wh-what?"
"Are you pregnant?"
"Yes. Yes I am"
"And why didn't you invite us into your birthday party?"
'Darn!!!'
"Oh.... Umm.. I.... Ahem. Actually it- "
"No need to justify now. It's not like we were going to come even after invitation. We are busy people and we definitely don't have time for some stupid backyard party"
'then why did you asked, duh?'
"Mrs Salvatore, I'm sorry for that. But I would really love to invite you and Mr Salvatore to our house for dinner tonight"

"We can't today. But don't worry, we'll be there tomorrow. Plus, I've many things to discuss with you" she said with a rough tone.
"I would love to have you for-" I didn't get to finish my sentence as she hung up the phone.
'She is a bad news. How would Lucifer react. Ohh God, please take care of everything. Don't let it mess up again'
I decided to tell Lucifer after work. He said something about important meeting, so I decided not to disturb him now. But the thought and idea of the dinner was disturbing me very much. There was this feeling, deep down there, that something is not right.
I was feeling very frustrated. So I went to our bed for a nap.
---------------------------------
It was nearly time for Lucifer's arrival. So I was preparing myself with my speech, sitting in front of the TV. As soon as Lucifer entered, Amy and other maids went home after biding me goodbye.
"Welcome home" I smiled at Lucifer and got up to take his suit coat from his hand. He kissed my lips and bend down a little to kiss my flat stomach.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Good. How was your day?"
He sighed heavily and sat down on the couch, pulling me too with him, "It was stressful".
I weakly smiled at him and quickly peck him, "Go freshen up. I'll serve us dinner".
He got up after sometime and went upstairs. Meanwhile I served two plates for us. After he came, we had our dinner in peaceful silence.
"You don't have to wait for me to have dinner, love. I might get late sometime" Lucifer said once we reached our room.
"But I want to. I love having dinner with you". He smirked and pulled me into a heated kiss. Slowly the kiss leads us to a heated love making.

When I was slowly drifting off to sleep, I remember something important. Without warning, I jumped up in sitting position. Lucifer became alert and was about to pull out a gun from the nightstand drawer, when I stopped him.
"What is it?" he asked worriedly. I shook my head and cleated my throat.
"Ahem..nothing. It's just, Mrs Salvatore called today" I said. Slowly I watched his expression was turned into anger and worry.
"What did she said?"
"Let's say, she was not happy because of not informing them about my pregnancy news and for not inviting her to my birthday party"
"Who cares about her" he scoffed and was about to lay back when I stopped him, again.
"Well, I have to tell you something else too. Umm... Actually the thing is, I invited her tomorrow. To our house. For dinner" I said timidly, fidgeting my fingers, feeling nervous, fearing Lucifer's anger.
He was shocked at first but then frowned. He mumbled a 'fuck' under his breath and ran his hands through his hairs, messing it up more.
'He is sooooo sexy' my inner self said, drooling at him.
I shook my head to clear my thoughts and concentrate on the current situation.
"You know it never ends up well, wife"
"I know. But let's give it a try again. Maybe it will work this time"
"It will not. I know that woman very well. She's planning something for sure"
My bad vibes returned back as soon as his words left from his mouth. I unconsciously placed a hand over my stomach and rubbed it slowly, looking down my lap. All negative thoughts began to cross my mind, increasing my anxiety.
Lucifer tilted my head up to look at his eyes. Mine were already glossy, I can feel it. He placed his hand over mine and said, "I'll never let anything happen to you and our little sunshine. I'll be always there, protecting you. No one will harm you two. I promise". Then he kissed me with all his love.
We laid back. I cuddled him and kissed his chest quickly, whispering,
"I love you".

Breakers
My name is Joo In-gong. The name that my parents gave me meant ‘protagonist’ of the world. As anyone can predict, I was constantly teased due to my name. In kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. If I went to university as planned then I would probably be laughed at there as well. So, at one point, I really hated my name. But not anymore. Now, I think slightly differently. Maybe being named Joo In-gong was a type of foreshadowing?

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!
