Chapter 8 Death of a Wife
Selene stared at him for a good long minute. Trying to process what he just said.
“Look, I am in a situation, and you should actually be glad I did not asked for your soul,” Lucas said, annoyed at her stare.
“Are you..offering me a job?”
“Yes?”
“While I already have a job?”
Lucas frowned at her.
“Yes? Is there a problem with that? You earn money on one side and earn your forgiveness on the other,” Lucas said, as a matter of fact.
Selene scoffed, “You’re unbelievable.”
“I don’t know what context of ‘unbelievable’ you are imploring, but thank you.”
Lucas turned his gaze to the construction site. This man he was talking about sent an application to them. After browsi

DOMUS MALUM Chapter 9 A Lily Between Two Towers
Selene sat on the vacant table at Hayes. The scorching heat made her sweat so much making her feel easily tired. There are not much customers that were dining in despite the clock nearing to tick on 12:00 lunchtime, the sun outside feels like it is just 10 feet away from the land, keeping the people from going out.It has been a week. She woke up at her own bedroom, with Faye frantically rushed on lecturing her about sleeping at their doorstep.She knew she was not sleeping at their doorstep, she came from somewhere else. But that somewhere else was currently out of reach. She did not see Lucas for a week now, when she went to Domus Malum, no one was answering her knocks, she knows he’s just there because his car was parked outside the parish.“Hey, paycheck’s in.” Lora sat in front of her. She handed her an ice-cold juice. Selene mouthed ‘thank you’
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 10 Into the Abyss
“Selene,” Calix called Selene to get her attention.Selene quickly snapped back from zoning out. She mindlessly grabbed her spoon and fork, her eyes dropped on the empty table.Calix stared at her, waiting for her to realize that the food has not arrived yet.“Oh,” Selene dropped the utensils and gave an awkward smile. “I’m sorry,” she muttered.“It’s fine. But are you alright? Do you want to go home?” Calix was sincerely worried of her. Ever since they left the house, she was quiet in the whole ride. She did not even noticed that they went to a floating restaurant with romantic candles leading the way to their table.Calix even arrange a whole bunch of musicians that are now playing their second song.But Selene could not hear anything, nor see anything. Her mind was out of
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 11 Acquiescence
Lucas unbuttoned his shirt. He cannot see any end on what he’s doing. The number of clients he accepts remain the same, but the amount of his work from scanning the applications and going through each background just to make sure that the their wish will be of personal use for their sinful desires took a heavy toll on him. He rested his back on the chair and closed his eyes, he cannot believe that his Father made him do such awful job but refuses to give him four arms and omnipotence. A knock on his door was heard, and Zera entered, carrying a pile of papers. Lucas grimaced. She carefully placed the papers above his table, and sat on the chair. Lucas started scanning the newly-printed-still-warm applications. “We cannot let humans interfere with our work,” Zera spoke, looking intently at Lucas. “I believe I heard that for the
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 12 Her Savior
Lucas went back to the mansion. He took big strides, walking hastily, like someone is catching him. He did not bother to knock or to give a sign of his presence and went straight to the living room. The old man was still sitting and drinking his tea, he was surprised to see Lucas again. “Did you forget something?” he asked, but Lucas just launched and grabbed him by the collar. The man got scared to see Lucas’s face, it looked so angry, yet his lips formed a smile- a devilish smile. His eyes are burning with rage, like a predator ready to eat his prey. “I am afraid that I need to take back a pinch of your happiness,” Lucas said and lifted him up in the air with his one hand. “You dirty humans think they can get away with anything!” he yelled. “Look into my eyes!” Lucas spread fear on the whole room. His gold eyes beamed with anger and his lips twitched. He was r
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 13 First Trip
Zera was busy in arranging the rejected applications from the client. These past few days, Lucas has been rejecting applications with reasons that do not sit right with him.He rejected someone who wants to wish for fame, because being famous pays well.Selene is working hard for every money she earns.He rejected someone who’s asking for longer life and take away his disease because he wants to be with his parents for a long time.Selene does not even have parents anymore, yet she does not ask for me to heal her.He rejected all of those who wishes ill to others for their own personal gains.Selene will be disappointed.In every application, he pictures Selene. In every reason they provide, he compares it to Selene’s way of thinking. His ju
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 14 The Devil's Root
“We should head back,” Lucas announced, looking at Selene who’s in front of him. The great weather from yesterday felt like they just have been given a chance to be happy for awhile. The light rain outside made the surrounding all gloomy today. There is not much to do inside the hotel aside from their facilities for recreational activities like billiards, a library, a bar and a rooftop pool. Selene was never a fan of any of those. Selene rose her head and met Lucas’s worried eyes, she is sitting at the end of the bed while Lucas is on his knees facing her. She just got out from the bathroom, tired from the endless puking. She feels dizzy and she wants to do nothing but to lay in bed. “It’s okay, I can manage. You can go outside and breathe some air,” she said with a coarse voice. “I’s raining and it’s foggy outside, and I don’t like being alone.” L
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 15 Wayward
“I can tell you’re not happy to see me,” the man stood up from the chair. His long dark cloak touching the floor. The tall and broad body figure of his Father made his ghoulish appearance even more horrifying. His bright red eyes boring on Lucas as he made his way in front of him.“I am just paying you a visit, Son.” His devilish smirk made Lucas furious. His fists are trembling with anguish.“Oh you think you can fool me, Samael? Of all creatures, your Son?!” Lucas scoffed. This made his Father laugh.Samael, the Angel of Death, the guardian of hell, the one who has the ultimatum for all the sinners, is Lucas’s Father.“I am amazed by how you got my…dubious trait,” he said, with so much amusement in his tone.Lucas turned around and walked to his chair, trying to control
DOMUS MALUM Chapter 16 A New Start
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dearest Selene…” Selene laughed when she saw Faye and Calix in their party hats with polka dots design and puffy balls on top, walking towards her with a marvelous two-tier cake on their hand. They are beside a lake located in one of the forests just meters far from the main road heading to their house. The sun is already dipping down in the horizon, meeting the glistening water of the lake, forming a beautiful sky in purples and oranges above. Calix was able to pitch a tent and set a table filled with Faye’s dishes. “Make a wish,” Faye said and smiled, putting the cake in front of Selene. Selene closed her eyes and made a wish, when she opened them, a candle was lit, waiting for her. She blew it and clapped her hands, her eyes felt moist. “Come o
