Chereads / The Pride of Pandora / Chapter 9 - Nine

Chapter 9 - Nine

"WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY, PANDORA?" The lustful asshole asked and Toshi froze when he heard that, his gaze going to me, probably because he always wanted to know that as well. "How were they? Did they all come to Hell or went to the Light Realm?"

I arched my eyebrow, "I don't see how that concern you!"

"I'm just curious to know what sin you committed to come here and become a General!" He exclaimed as if that was nothing, grinning at me, making his dimples appear, which made him even more beautiful.

"Sin?" Taking the bottle from Toshi's hands, I drank some of it. "Murder!" I exclaimed not looking at anything specific. "I committed murder!"

Toshi seemed shocked to hear that. "Mass murder?" He asked, with a psychotic smile on.

"I wasn't a serial killer, dumbass," I slapped the back of his head. "That shit's disgusting."

Adam turned to me as if he could see beyond the surface, "You can be a mass murderer and not a serial killer, Pandora. Didn't you know that?" How annoying this guy is, for fuck's sake.

"Like me," the other General in front of me pointed, smiling, and I felt like punching him. "I am considered a mass murderer, but I killed them all in one go. Nothing like a serial killer. So, were you a mass murderer?"

Glaring at Toshimitsu, I made him flinch. "Don't overstep our boundaries, kid. I've already told you more than I've ever said to anyone else in the realm. Murdered is my sin. None of you are my confidants, so, it's like I'll be here and tell you all of the problems I had when I was alive. If you expect that to happen, you're mistaking me for someone I'm not." Finishing the rest of the vodka bottle, I took another and handed it to Toshi, then I closed the cabinet. I got up and made him get on his feet too. "It's time for you to go. If the demon realizes you came to this jurisdiction, they will begin speculating things they shouldn't."

"But you never visit me!" He said sulking.

"I'm not your mom, dumbass."

"You are the closest I have of family here," Toshi pointed and I sighed. "Will you visit me? If you don't go to me, I'll have to come here like I did today. What do you prefer?" Now, that's more like him.

I grinned, "Next time I'll go to you."

Smiling in victory, he agreed and headed to the door, holding the vodka. "Thank you for the food!" Then he was out of here.

When I turned, Adam was right behind me and I bumped into him, but he held me by my waist. Angry, I threw him to the wall and held him by his neck, "Will you stop being Devil-damn lustful, or will I have to choose violence every time?" I hissed.

He didn't seem affected. Rather, he brushed his fingers on my face, putting my unruly hair behind my ear. "I kind of like when you use violence, dear," what's wrong with him?

Still holding him by the neck, I threw him on the couch. "Disgusting!"

"I'm pretty sure you don't think I'm disgusting," Adam said, getting up and coming to me, making me step back until my back reached the wall, making my heart beat speed up. "You may glare at me, and pretend that you loathe me, Pandora," he caressed my cheek. "But the way your body reacts to me says otherwise!"

"Don't touch, lustful asshole!" I managed to mutter.

Adam chuckled softly and brushed his thumb on my bottom lip, "Oh, dear, you forget that although we have a main deadly sin within us, we have all the others as well. So, yes, I am lustful. But that doesn't change the fact that I also possess pride, wrath, and all the other deadly sins in different proportions." His eyes descended to my lip and he blinked slowly. "Which means, you also have lust in you."

With a charming smile, I held his face delicately with my two hands, making our eyes meet. Then I shortened the distance between us, almost letting our lips touch. "You are right. I do have lust in my," I licked my lips, purposely making his eyes go to them. "But just because I have that, doesn't mean I'll let it control me, asshole!"

Taking him off guard, I hit my forehead on his, making him back away dizzy. "You shouldn't do that. It's cruel! It's like offering a lollipop to a kid, and when he's about to lick it, you kick away of his hand!"

I burst out laughing, "Cruel? Oh, dear, to me, it's quite amusing."

He glared at me and a smirk appeared on his lips. "So, will you admit you are attracted to me?"

"If I were the type to let lust control me, I would. But as I am not like you, there's something for me to say about that, besides the thank that I think you incredibly stupid and reckless for your sake, Adam." I got two steps closer to him and this time he stepped back, which made a wide smile appear on my face. "Should I warn you that if you keep doing this, you won't be able to handle my retaliation?" Coming even closer to him, as he backed away, I looked up at his face as I held my chin. "I tend to pay back tenfold, and in the same way as they messed with me." With a charming smile, I passed my thumb on his lip. "Would you be able to endure it?"

Adam gulped, his eyes wide, "..."

Chuckling softly, I left him off the hook and put some distance between us. "Stay on guard. I don't want to keep repeating to you that I may not look dangerous, but I am. I may not bite, but I stab. And you may not die, but you can be tortured."

"You don't look dangerous? Pandora," he called me with his honey voice. "You are the most dangerous-looking female I've seen in my existence."

We stared at each other for almost a minute, until scoffed. "That actually means anything, seeing as how you've just died. Your existence until now was very short," I looked at him from head to toe, "considering that you died young!" Turning my back on him, I headed to my room. "Don't go beyond the secret door, or I'll punish you. Stay here. Sleep on the couch, on the ground, on the wall, wherever you want within the room. Your training will begin tomorrow!"

With that, I left him alone.
