Emy never saw Reed again after what happened to them that night. She awoke alone in her bed. Reed didn't call or meet her after a few days, which was unusual for him. So, it surprised her when he left without saying anything to her. Emy's heartbreaks. Her family was aware of her silence but did not question her.
Her coworkers noticed her silence at work. Avery approached her, and Jasmin offered her the milk tea she had bought.
"Miss Emy, what's with your silence?" Avery asked.
Emy gave a little smile. "No way. Such scenarios are well-known to me. Miss Emy, are you heartbroken?" Jasmin said.
"Are you insane? How can Miss Emy be heartbroken when she has no boyfriend?" Avery asked.
Haist! These two tongues are too tight. At the very least, they don't know when to stop, Emy thought.
Emy had just finished her milk tea and sat back to listen to her two coworkers. It was midday, and they didn't have any clients.
"That was my boyfriend back then. After taking my virginity, he abruptly left, saying nothing." Jasmin said, "I just discovered he has a new girlfriend."
Jasmin's words surprised Emy, and when she coughed, the two were equally shocked.
"Are you OK, Miss Emy?" Avery asked.
"I'm OK. I was unaware that this item contained a pearl." Emy pretended not to see Milktea's black pearl.
"Keep telling your story. Your guy didn't show up?" asked Avery.
"Not anymore. To this day, we have no closure," Jasmin said.
When Avery hit the table, Emy was surprised. She nearly drops the milk tea she's holding.
"That's how men are. Once they had gotten what they wanted from the woman, they abruptly vanished like bubbles. We should remove their manhood, turn it into powder, and give it to them to drink," Avery said.
When a client came in, Emy immediately left the two companions. She approached them and provided excellent assistance. The two of them had stabbed her in their conversation; she would have been miserable if their conversation had been deadly.

When Reed returned from battling other demons in another dimension, the shadow demons welcomed him. He won, just as he had in his previous combat, and remained ruler of his domain. However, his realm lacks the success Reed enjoys. He's desperate to find a queen.
They invited everyone in the palace to a large banquet. All the nobility, who were allies of their kingdom, were present. A large celebration marks the king's triumph. Reed sat on his throne, watching the visitors have a good time. Everyone is delighted, except for Reed, as the wine is flowing freely. Eve saw him, so she approached him.
"Reed, you don't seem to be happy," Eve asked.
Reed said, "I'm happy," and then drank wine.
"Since you're here, too," Eve replied, "you might want the two of us to have some fun."
Reed knew what Eve intended to convey to him, but for some reason, he had lost interest in another woman. Rather than the princesses of the entire realm, he was looking forward to seeing Emy.
"There are a lot of other men here, Eve. Why don't you give Devin another shot?" Reed asked. "He's as excellent in bed as you mentioned."
"I'd rather be with you tonight than with him," Eve said.
In their world, there is no such thing as a sexual preference. A demon can have sex with any other demon in the realm, as well as with a beast. Their law stipulates that an enslaved person's king can have s-x with any other demon in the realm. Male-to-male or female-to-female relationships are possible. They engage in sexual activity as long as their bodies ache.
Reed, on the other hand, had never engaged in sexual relations with a man because of the woman's constant desire for him. But everything changed when he crossed into the human world and had his first mortal woman's sex experience with Emy. His interest in another woman had faded, and his body craved Emy.
Reed stood up, surprising Eve. He placed the glass of liquor on the table and walked away, but Eve caught his hand, and as he turned to face the woman, she held her hands on his neck and kissed her on the lips. Reed, on the other hand, pushed Eve and held her tightly.
Eve whined, "Reed, you are hurting me."
"If you do this again, I promise you'll regret it," Reed said seriously, pushing Eve so hard that the woman was shocked.
Everyone was watching as the woman crashed into the table. Reed exited the hall, drawing everyone's attention to Eve's actions. Devin remained in the distance as Reed walked out the door and watched him.

It startled Emy awake when she felt a hand on her leg. Reed smiled in her face as he lay beside her, slowly opening her eyes. Emy stepped back and wrapped herself in a blanket. Reed's brow wrinkled in response to what Emy did. Emy rose and went away from Reed, still covered in a blanket.
"What are you doing?" Reed asked.
"Why are you here?" Emy asked.
Reed didn't take his sight away from Emy. He reached for his feet and moved closer to Emy, but she stepped back.
Reed said, "It's my house, and I'd like to see you."
Emy turned her back as soon as she realized the room's glass door was open to the balcony.
"We're moving in tomorrow," Emy said.
Reed's brows were raised. "I'm not giving you permission to leave my house."
"That's why we're going," Emy said. "I know you will not agree."
Emy fled once again, and Reed trailed after her. Reed moved aside as he approached her. As Emy closed the glass door, she slipped inside the room, leaning against it. She hurriedly turns away from Reed, only to be astonished when she notices Reed standing in front of her, arms folded, staring at her.
"Are you trying to avoid me?" Reed asked.
Emy said, "I'm avoiding stress."
'After missing more than a week, he would appear as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't left me without saying anything. This man should never fool me again.' Emy thought.
Reed chuckled and reached for the back of his head. He recalled how different his realm's time zone was. Reed was one day gone in his domain but over a week in the human world. After their private moment, he left Emy sound asleep.
"Did you look for me when you woke me up without me?" asked Reed.
"Why am I looking for you?" Emy asked.
"I'm not sure," Reed said, "which is why I'm asking."
Emy breathed deeply. "I'm looking for Avery's house so we can go there tomorrow," Emy said.
Emy couldn't finish her sentence because she turned around as Reed yanked the blanket from her body. After throwing the blanket on the floor, he hugged Emy's body, but she didn't hug him as usual.
"Would you like to know where I went?" Reed asked.
"There's no need. I have no right to ask you a question because we don't have a relationship." Emy said.
Reed let go of Emy and looked her in the eyes. He deduces the woman's thoughts from her facial expression because he is confused and can't comprehend her feelings.
"Why?" Emy stared at Reed, puzzled.
"Emy, tell me. What exactly are you feeling?" Reed asked.
"What do you mean?" Emy asked.
"Are you angry with me?" Reed asked.
"You know, Reed, I was tired of work today. Can we discuss it later?" Emy said, "I want to rest."
Emy got the blanket off the floor and went back to sleep. Reed didn't move, but he stood there, staring at her.
"Are you not interested in hearing what I have to say?" Reed asked.
Emy remained silent. She fell asleep without looking at Reed. Reed stood and stared at Emy as he read her thoughts aloud, like a book.
Should I express my feelings to him? I was upset with him. He left me after we had sex. What is it that he wants me to do? Pretend nothing happened. He irritates me! Emy thought.
While thinking, Reed read Emy's emotions. Thus, the woman was speaking to him mentally. Reed sat on the couch, staring at Emy. She didn't even glance at him or say anything. He couldn't even read her thoughts.
Reed stood up, approached the bed, and sat next to Emy. He closed his eyes and hugged her.
He missed her.
