Damien was getting used to his life among humans. Even with that, he still looks abit odd when seen in the crowd. For the past few days, he had been the talk of the town as ladies fawn over him each time he passes by. However, the fact that he was always seen with Melody made them despise her.
He decided to be a private tutor since he didn't want to stay idle. Helping Gerald and melody was his goal.

"Oh, Mr Damien, you're here!" Marrissa smiled as she opened her door, gesturing for him to come in. Damien's face was frosty as usual. He walked into the house and asked, "Where's the young lad?"
Marissa closed the door immediately and approached him, her hands sliding around his waist, "There's no young lad, Damien. Don't you get it?"
He furrowed his brows in confusion as he turned to look at her, "What do you mean?"
Marrissa tightened her hands around his waist, not wanting to let go. Being this close to him was a dream come true.
'How can a guy be this good-looking? It won't be bad if I want him right?'
Meanwhile, hearing people's thoughts was normal for him. Sometimes he doesn't even need to try. His eyes turned cold and his green eyeballs changed slightly to red. In less than one second, it changed back to its normal colour. "Get your hands off me" his voice was low and deadly. Making Marissa shiver in fear as she removed her hands from his waist.
"Hey....do.. don't be like this. I'm not bad as a woman. I know you want me" she said as she tried to approach him again after re-gaining her confidence. She wasn't supposed to allow him to leave just like that right?
What happens to the bet?
However, Damien Ignored her and walked out. He had never been interested in any woman. The only woman that makes his heart leap is Melody and he's yet to figure out why. Everything about her exites him.
Her face, her smile, her hair, her scent?
Damien: 'whats wrong with me?'
Marrissa gritted her teeth in anger as she watched Damien leave. In the whole town, she's the only girl that guys would die for. Because of her beauty, they would do anything to get in-between her legs but she had no interest in any of them. Then, she heard rumors about a particular guy who was only seen with Melody.
Melody?
Yes, she's pretty but she's too naive. Why would she want someone that a naive little girl picked? He was just a normal guy with no status in the society.
However, her mentality changed when she caught a glimpse of him. She couldn't stop staring. His black hair was of the right length and his face was one to die for. He looked like a dark prince and his thin lips were so sexy, Marissa thought of kissing them.
And his eyes? Strange but she still wanted him. The most beautiful set of eyes she had ever seen.
'I'll get him to bow for me' she told her friends as she thought of a plan to make him come over to her place. But he refused her?
He refused Marissa?
....
"Damien, you're back!" Melody's melodious voice was heard immediately Damien stepped his foot into the house. She hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and approached him. Her hands were slightly stained and her hair was scattered all over her face. She looked like a real life painting as her lips curled up in a smile.
Damien was rooted at the spot, his eyes were glued to her and he found it hard to look away.
There, that's it.
What's happening to him?
Melody was surprised by his reaction. He had a look of shock and he seemed disturbed. She snapped her hands in front of him and placed her hands on her waist, "Damien, what's wrong?"
Hiding his embarrassment, Damien simply walked away and avoided Melody for the whole day.
Why did he zone out like that?
In another kingdom
"My lord, I'm afraid the rumors are true" A young man said as he walked into a huge hall. He faced the man seated conveniently on a chair and he bowed immediately, refusing to raise his head. "My lord, I'm so sorry that I was the one who brought you this devastating news."
Henry sat upright. He had a dark smile on his lips, making everyone around him shiver in fear. Whenever he smiles like that, bad things are bound to happen.
'Oh no, what are we going to do'
'We need to flee for our lives, Henry is about to explode '
However to their greatest surprise, Henry laughed out loud. His laughter brought both happiness and fear into their hearts.
If his smile indicates something bad, then his laughter is talking about an impending doom?
"Tell me about him. What's so special about him " he asked as he walked towards his servant.
"My..my..my lord. They say he's really good looking but he's a slave before you" he stuttered as he didn't dare to look into his face. He doesn't want his head served on a platter of gold.
Henry turned around and sat down again. He placed his hands on his chin and called one of his subordinates, "Go to Melody's father and tell him, I'll be coming to take my bride in a few days"
