Chapter 14

"But why is he dressed like that? Very suspicious!"

"He had an accident and there were burn marks on his body, because he was afraid it would make people uncomfortable seeing him, that's why he covered his whole body and face," said Jenny, who tried to explain to me who she was and how she got this brochure.

"So?"

"So? Yes, so he was interested after seeing Calvin and Chloe. He offered me to audition,"

"Audition?"

"Yes, I just need to dress up my children as cute and attractive as possible and take their photos. After that, I just need to send the photos to the address on the brochure. If they are chosen as winners, they will send a prize and also a contract as child model. So lucky, right? Oh my God, I'm really happy!"

"You just believe that? What if this is a scam?"

"How is it fraudulent? There is no charge for this audition, so where does the fraud element come from?" Asked Jenny, who didn't accept it because she felt that I had destroyed the hope she had just built.

"But that person is very suspicious, you better be careful, Jen-"

"Come on, Katie, you don't need to worry so much. I'm too old for you to worry about, you should think about yourself!"

"What's going on? Why are you screaming?" Asked Mother who suddenly came after hearing Jenny's voice.

"It's nothing, I just told Katie that she doesn't need to mind my business!"

"What's wrong Katherine?" Asked Mother, who was starting to look worried as usual.

"It's nothing, Mom. I was just overthinking. I'm sorry Jenny, you're right, I was too scared. Ok, I think the event is over and we should go home, I want to rest!" I said as I walked away leaving my mother, Kelly, Jenny and their two children.

"Jenny, I told you not to talk loudly to her, why don't you understand?"

"I didn't speak loudly to her. I just told her, Calvin and Chloe got an audition offer to become child models, but she actually scared me with her excessive fear!"

"What offer? If that's the case, it's natural for her to ask you to be careful because we don't know about the evil out there!"

"What crime? I've explained everything to her, but she still doesn't want to understand. Mom, you arebsame as her, she never likes seeing me happy. Come on, Calvin, Chloe, let's go home!" She said as she took her children's hands and left mom and Kelly.

"Always like that, never listening to me!" Jenny muttered while waiting for a taxi.

"Aren't we going home with Grandma and Aunt Kelly?" Chloe asked.

"No darling, let's just take a taxi, okay?"

The car we were riding in passed Jenny and her children. Mother who was driving immediately stopped in front of Jenny, so she could come home with us.

"Come on, Jenny, come in! Don't be childish like that. Didn't Katie apologize to you earlier?" Said mother, who looked a little annoyed at Jenny's stubborn attitude.

Without a word, Jenny opened the car door and got in with her children. She sat in the back seat with Kelly, while I sat next to mom in the front.

While on the way home, no one spoke, all that could be heard was Calvin and Chloe's chatter. For some reason, we felt a strange awkwardness, especially me who didn't understand why Jenny was acting like that to me, even though I was really worried about her.

What actually happened to me? Why are there so many people who hate me? Is this just my feeling? It feels like I've forgotten too much. However, there was a pain in my chest that I couldn't understand, every time I saw the hateful looks they gave me.

"I told you, didn't I? Why are you so stubborn, Lilith? What are you really looking for in this world? Go back to where you came from, you're not human, stop acting like a human!"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear that from you, Lucifer! Can you stop butting into all my business?"

"Why should I stop interfering in your affairs? I'm your husband, I am your king. I should be the one controlling you. I want you to stop or I will drag you back to hell!"

"Just do it if you dare! Do you think I will stay silent? No, Lucifer! I don't care! I will get him even if I have to wait all my life, yes, even if I have to wait for him all my life."

"Very stubborn, aren't you? That's why I'm so crazy about you, my darling!"

"Forget it, Lucifer! Stop waiting for me!"

"I won't stop wa

iting for you. I will definitely bring you back to me. I love you so much, Lilith! I love you so much. You're the only one I want."
