Chapter 19

"What are you doing ?"

Because I was careless, I didn't realize that Daniel had entered his room. I didn't even have time to hear the sound of his footsteps. Because I was too nervous, I was afraid to even look at him.

“Found something?” Daniel asked. I slowly turned around and looked at him, even though my whole body was shaking.

Daniel, who is 190 cm tall, with a very athletic body, was standing in front of the door wearing only a towel covering his hips to his knees. His hair was still wet, I could guess that he had just finished showering.

"N-no, I just-" I stammered, I really ran out of words to find an excuse.

"Just what?" Daniel asked again as he stepped slowly towards me, for some reason it scared me.

“N-nothing, sorry for entering your room without permission. I'll be leaving right away!” I said as I started walking, but Daniel immediately grabbed my hand to stop me.

“Why the rush? I'm not angry, just go ahead if there's something else you want to look for. I won't stop you!" He said, his hand felt cold. He had really gone crazy, letting his half-wet body be directly exposed to the extremely cold temperature.

"N-nothing, I'll go!" I said. Daniel immediately grabbed me and hugged me. I really don't understand what he is thinking.

"Don't you like seeing me like this?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't pretend anymore, Kate! I know you covered everything up on purpose,"

“Covering what? What do you mean?"

"No matter what your situation is, to me you are still the most beautiful," he said in a low and deep voice, his face getting closer to mine.

“Daniel, please don't be like this. Listen, I really don't understand what you mean? I really can't remember!”

"Okay, then, I'll make you remember!" He said, he immediately pushed me onto the bed and kissed me aggressively.

“Stop…! What are you doing…? Stop it!” I shouted while pushing him. Even though it didn't succeed in making his body move away, it could make him stop doing that disgusting thing.

Daniel was silent, he looked at me coldly as if he was preparing to finish me off. I quickly got up and hoped I could quickly get away from him.

“I know Kate, don't test me like this. You know, that won't work!" He said without turning around.

I immediately opened the door and had no intention of continuing any conversation. I really don't understand his train of thought, what's wrong with my cute little beloved brother? He used to be so sweet, kind and very obedient. Why could he do that to me?

"This is strange." I muttered as I began to realize something strange, little by little I could remember my childhood memories that I had forgotten, starting to be remembered again, especially memories about Daniel.

I tapped my fingers on the computer desk, while my head was thinking very hard. I feel a little can't believe what I've found recently. My latest novel exploded on the market, isn't that amazing? Even though when I wrote it, I didn't think that the story would be popular.

'Have you got an idea for your new story'

I read the message from Ben that he sent two minutes ago to my cell phone. I smiled, he really cared about me this far. When I told him I was going to start planning my newest novel, he was the most enthusiastic to hear it.

'I'm still a little confused about the idea. But lately I often have strange dreams, I think it's the inspiration I get through dreams. I don't know, but I'm not sure it would be interesting.

I replied to his message as soon as possible after I was a little confident about telling him about an idea that was in my mind. Even I wasn't sure Ben would find that interesting, he was a fan of horror stories and thrillers, but what came to mind was a little different to what he might have expected.

'Is it true? I actually find it very interesting when you're not sure that it's interesting. Would you mind telling me what idea you came up with?'

I couldn't help but smile, Ben replied to my message in seconds and it immediately made me suspect that he was very curious. I thought maybe I'd prank him a little.

'Sorry, Ben. But I don't think it's interesting. Obviously that's not the genre you want as a fan of horror stories. I want to make a slightly romantic story.'

Only two minutes after my message was sent, Ben immediately called me. I was surprised, not expecting that he would be so curious.

"Hey, Ben?"

"You've got me curious, Kate! Come on, tell me!" He said. I don't know since when the two of us became this close so he can contact me whenever he wants.

"Hahaha...okay, the theme is about a female demon named Lilith who has been in a relationship with two demons, namely her husband, Lucifer and her lover, Asmodeus. However, as a passionate demon, Lilith actually fell in love with a man from among human. But unfortunately the man couldn't love him because he was a devil." I said. I tried to tell a little of the whole story I just planned.

Ben was silent for a moment, he didn't immediately respond to my story as he should. I thought maybe he didn't hear what I just said.

"Ben? Did you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard. Sorry, I suddenly fell silent."
