Destroying My Own Novel

"Tell me what happened in there, and don't you fucking dare lie to me!" Agnez asked as she pushed Jeanne on the wall in the bathroom in the suite. "You just betrayed Mykel and I want a fucking explanation for it!" She said as she glared at Jeanne with a bit of disappointment and anger in her eyes.

"It's complicated, I can't explain it to you," Jeanne answered with her hands trying to remove Agnez's hands from her.

"Complicated you say?! How complicated, huh?! You fell for his charm and you had sex with him, isn't that right?!" Agnez asked as she started to tighten her grip on Jeanne's shoulder. Jeanne couldn't deny Agnez's statements because it was all true. "So you betrayed him so you can be with him," Agnez said and started to put her right hand on Jeanne's neck.

"Yes, it's true! As I said, it's more complicated than you think because you haven't felt it!" Jeanne yelled at Agnez and removed Agnez's hand from her neck. "You're just jealous, don't you?! Do you think I don't know?!" she asked and glared back at Agnez.

Agnez gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, she was ready to beat Jeanne up but then the door opened. "Uhh, ladies? Miss Lyneth is waiting," Gunnar said nervously said as he averted his gaze from them.

Agnez glanced at Gunnar and immediately removed her hands from Jeanne then left the bathroom and bumped into Gunnar's shoulder. Jeanne sighed with relief as she pulled her hair back while looking down.

"Are you okay, Jeanne?" Gunnar asked with a worried expression.

Jeanne nodded her head as she smiled at Gunnar while tucking her hair behind her ear. "I'm okay,"

"Okay, we should go now because Miss Lyneth is really pissed right now," Gunnar said as he pointed his thumb on his back.

"Yeah, I'm ready to leave," Jeanne said as she walked out of the bathroom. "Did you hear everything?" she asked quietly and looked at Gunnar.

"We heard everything, it felt like we were listening to a soap opera," Gunnar answered as he chuckled nervously to change the mood.

Jeanne laughed quietly and hid her face from embarrassment. "I'm sorry that you guys had to hear that," she said.

"No need to mention it, it was a little bit entertaining and terrifying at the same time," Gunnar answered. "I mean, I can't blame you, ladies, because even though I'm a straight guy but the boss is really handsome," he continued and tried to justify the situation between Jeanne and Agnez.

Jeanne just smiled and then they all left the suite with a bit of awkwardness after listening to those two.

They were on the plane and Lyneth was so anxious that Gunnar couldn't help but ask. "Miss Lyneth, did you know anything about that demon lord? Because there must be a reason why the boss didn't want us to tell you the truth,"

"He didn't tell you when he was dying after he got the artifact from the Azazel tower?" Lyneth asked as she looked at all of them.

They all shook their heads because Mykel didn't tell them the details of what happened during his encounter with Zherthlsh.

"Mykel called me after he went missing for a whole week after he cleared the tenth floor of Azazel tower. A week, he fought that demon for a whole week without food, do you know what that feels like? He knows and he suffered a lot in that battle with that demon," Lyneth explained as she stared at the blue skies as she tried to remember every detail of the story that Mykel told her.

"Mykel fought that demon lord for a week?" Agnez asked as she stared at Lyneth with her eyebrows furrowed.

"A whole week without sleep because the demon tortured him as she toyed with him. The demon didn't want him to die as she wasn't satisfied but then Mykel managed to leave the room with the chest of the artifact," Lyneth answered as she nodded her head. "Now that the demon is out there, she wouldn't hesitate to take what he stole that day," she continued.

Everyone looked at each other and they still couldn't believe that Mykel survived from Zherthlsh.

"Here's the picture when I brought him to the hospital, you can see how bad his injuries were," Lyneth said as she showed the photos on her phone.

They looked at the injuries on Mykel's body that day, they could see the wounds on his back where his flesh was cut open and they could see his muscles and a tiny bit of his backbone. They couldn't imagine how painful it could be, and they respected him more for surviving and for not giving up.

"Show me the pictures you took," Lyneth asked as she stared at Agnez and Lillith. "You took pictures of the summoning ritual, right? Show it to me," she asked as she waved her fingers at them.

Agnez and Lillith didn't hesitate to show the pictures they took to Lyneth and that was enough to make Lyneth gag from disgust. They both immediately took their phone back and put them in their pocket.

"What did I just see there?" Lyneth asked as she put her head on her forehead and stared at them from the corner of her eyes.

"That's only the small portion of what we saw down there, it was more terrifying," Rozan answered as he blankly stare at nothing. "It was like we were in hell even though I have never been in one, but that was enough to summarize what it looked like because it was unimaginable," he continued.

"It's impossible to not tell this matter to the government, this is already beyond our problem," Lyneth said as she shook her head.

"But the boss didn't want anyone to get involved, Miss Lyneth, to avoid the chaos because the demon lord is after the boss and only him," Gunnar said as he sat tightly on his giant seat.

Lyneth just nodded with understanding.

Mykel took a shower and he saw his phone vibrate, he took it and Lyneth was already at the airport and she wanted to see him. He already knew that it was impossible to hide it from her and so he waited for her in the hotel room.

Mykel had been farming new skills and replaced them with the necessary skills to fight Zherthlsh. He had prepared everything and he was ready to meet her, all he needed to do was to ask for Loki's help because he was the only one who could do that.

"Mykel, open the door, it's me," Lyneth's voice could be heard from behind the door.

Mykel opened the door and he was a bit surprised to see everyone there with her. "Come in," he said as he smoked his cigarette and walked back to the sofa.

"Are you really going to fight her on your own, Mykel? Don't you remember the last time you fought her?" Lyneth asked with a worried expression as she held his hands so tightly.

"Yes, at first I don't really care much about what happened, but now that I know what kind of demon lord they summoned, it became personal. I can't let her out there because she could easily destroy the whole district in a single night and the only one who can deal with her is me right now," Mykel answered as he gently grabbed Lyneth's cheeks.

"But you won't know until it's too late, you're just putting yourself in danger. I can ask Kastor and the government to help if you just let me do it," Lyneth said as she kept staring at Mykel's eye.

"No, I will do this on my own, they're not ready for this and it will only bring death to them. Please understand and let me do this, can you do that?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised and a bit of smile on his face.

Lyneth nodded as she started to water her eyes, Mykel chuckled softly and wiped her tears before they fell down. He kissed her and then hug her. "I will be back for you, just wait for me," he whispered to her ears.

Lyneth hummed with understanding as she kept hugging him so tightly.

Mykel removed his hands from Lyneth and then looked at the others. "Please take care of her for a moment and remember what I said. Don't follow me or do anything stupid because you will only waste your life,"

"We understand, boss," Gunnar said with a serious expression.

Lyneth wiped her tears as she sniffled. "Jeanne might want some as well since she's your woman as well, right?"

Mykel turned around and looked at Lyneth with confusion then he looked at the others and they all seemed to know already his relationship with Jeanne. He sighed and then looked at Jeanne with a smile on his face. "Come here," he said as he opened his arms and Jeanne immediately slammed her body at him.

"You trust me, right?" Mykel whispered into her ear.

"Yes, I trust you more than anyone else," Jeanne answered.

Mykel kissed her forehead and rubbed her head while smiling. "I will see you guys later," he said as he walked to the door and waved his hand.

Mykel walked in the middle of the road in the middle of the night with a cigarette in his mouth. "Loki, tell Azazel that I want to see her daughter near his tower, I will be waiting,"
