Sayo lowered his head slowly, gripping his teacup a little tighter.

“I... I’m sorry, Melly,” he said, his voice soft and slightly trembling.

“I’ve been very busy lately. But I haven’t forgotten anyone. When Hando passed away, I sent flowers.”

He looked at Melly, trying to reassure her with a sincere gaze. “The sender’s name was mine. I wrote it personally.”

Melly stared at Sayo for a moment. Her expression didn’t change, and the silence felt unusually long. Then, she slowly sipped her tea.

Sayo gently set his cup down on the table, took a breath, and looked at Melly with a more serious expression.

“Actually… I didn’t come here just to catch up, Melly,” he said carefully. “There’s something important I want to talk about.”

Melly remained silent, her expression neutral as she looked at Sayo.

Sayo continued, his voice sounding like he was carefully choosing each word to be as gentle as possible. “It’s about Max and Sarah.”

He looked at Melly, trying to smile.

“We used to joke about them

    Liora did not answer Max's question. She only gave a thin smile, her black eyes shining with unnatural confidence. With a slow and deliberate movement, she placed the tea tray on the corner of Max's desk. Then, without any hesitation, she stepped forward and sat right on Max's lap.Her body was light, but there was something wrong with the warmth coming from her skin. It was too cold, too controlled.Max stiffened immediately. "What do you mean by this?" he asked.Liora did not answer with words. Instead, she wrapped both arms around Max's neck. Her fingers gently touched the back of his neck, as if she had done this thousands of times before. Her face moved closer, and her breath brushed his cheek."My pussy has been so dry, Sir," she whispered. Her voice was low and pretended to be shy, but her eyes looked hungry. "It has been a long time since I was fucked. From the first day I saw you... I knew. You are too handsome. Too strong. I want to feel your body inside me."Her fingers cra

    Varak answered calmly, as if he had planned it for a long time. “That is my assistant. Jahil.” Astarion was slightly surprised, then he narrowed his eyes. “Jahil?” he repeated softly. “She has already gone down to the human world,” Varak continued. “She changed into an ordinary human woman. Her face is gentle, her attitude is humble. The type who will easily gain Aurora’s sympathy. Most importantly, she will not raise any suspicion from Max.” Astarion leaned against a stone pillar, his expression turning curious. “But what about her scent?” he asked. “Max is not an ordinary human. He can smell demons from close range. Wouldn’t Jahil’s disguise be useless?” Varak let out a soft laugh, cold and echoing through the underground chamber. The green fire in his eyes pulsed brighter. “Jahil has no demon scent,” he replied firmly. “She is cursed.” Astarion straightened. “Cursed?” “Since birth,” Varak said. “The curse stripped away her demon essence. There is no hellish smell, no trace

    Liora did not answer Max’s question right away. She only lowered her head further, her shoulders starting to tremble softly. A few seconds later, a small sob escaped her lips, broken and uneven, as if she had been holding something in for far too long.Aurora reacted immediately. She knelt down on the grass and gently took Liora’s hands in hers. “Hey… why are you crying? Try to calm down first,” she whispered warmly, her voice full of motherly concern even though they had just met.“You can talk to us. Did something bad happen to you again? We are here. We will not leave you alone,” Aurora continued.Max stayed silent beside them, watching. He was already used to seeing Aurora like this. His wife truly had a heart that was too soft for this world. They had only just met, yet Aurora was already treating Liora like a younger sister who needed protection.Max was not surprised. That was one of the reasons he had fallen in love with Aurora. Her kindness was sincere, though it often made h

    Max quickly lowered the woman as soon as her feet touched the sidewalk. His movement was a little faster than it should have been, almost rough compared to the gentleness he had shown earlier. He pulled his arm back when he realized how long she had rested her head against him, too close, too comfortable, with her cold breath still brushing the skin of his neck. The woman staggered slightly, then carefully sat down on the grass, holding her ankle again. Aurora did not notice the change in Max at all. Instead, she crouched in front of the woman, her face full of empathy. “What is your name?” Aurora asked softly, as if they had known each other for a long time. The woman looked up. “Liora,” she answered quietly. Aurora smiled sincerely. “That is a beautiful name. It suits you very well.” Liora returned a faint smile that was almost invisible, then lowered her head again, as if holding back the pain. Max cleared his throat softly, his focus returning to the swollen ankle. He opene

    BLAAAR! SCREEECH!!! The car tires screamed loudly against the asphalt, and Aurora’s body was thrown forward until the seat belt jerked her back harshly. Her heart immediately started pounding. “What was that?!” she shouted, her hands gripping the dashboard. “Did we hit something? A person?!” Max had already turned off the engine. His face was tense but controlled. He quickly turned to Aurora, one hand gently holding her arm to calm her down. “Calm down, Babe. I am not sure, but I braked because I saw a sudden shadow in front of us. Stay here and do not get out yet. Let me check.” Aurora nodded slowly, though her eyes were still wide with fear. “Okay… but be careful, Babe.” Max gave a faint smile to reassure her, then opened the door and stepped out. He walked slowly toward the front of the car. The headlights were still on, brightly illuminating a figure lying on the road. A young woman in a long black coat was sitting while holding her ankle. Her long wavy hair framed her pal

    Aston was the name he hid behind his new human identity. He took a slow breath, trying to keep the innocent expression he had practiced for years. Thin, polite, not threatening. The typical face of a disguised demon. “Sorry, but I do not understand,” he said in the calmest voice he could make. “I am only a new lecturer here. I do not know what you mean by a demon cult member.” He even gave a faint smile, as if he was truly confused. “Or is it some kind of campus metal organization? Maybe a new music club?” He played his role very well. Max stared at Aston’s face for a few seconds to judge, measure, and look straight into the depths of a soul wrapped in lies and ancient sins. The corner of his mouth lifted a little. “Well,” Max said quietly. “All demons are like that.” A subtle change passed through the atmosphere around them. As if the air between them tightened, waiting, watching two different beings stand face to face. “Demons are always good at lying,” Max continued. Aston
