LAST EMBRACE
On the night of her graduation, Elle lost her mum and her best friend Ethan went missing.
Her mum's death was strange. She was found dead and dry, with no blood in her when an autopsy was conducted. The only injury on her was two tiny dots on her neck.
How she died, she didn't know. But everything pointed to Ethan. Elle had left him with her mum that night, only to come back to meet the worst scenario that tormented her life.
This happened five years ago when at the age of eighteen, she moved on and re-established her mum's business known as EL corporations.
Now 23 years old, her nightmares started again when Ethan came back.
~~EXCERPT~~
Her emotions swirled all over the place. She was still the stupid Elle. She trusted people easily, but what did they do? They pay her back with heartache and pain.
"Elle, I warn you," He said slowly walking toward her like the predator he was.
Elle gazed fiercely at him "What are you going to do? Lock me up? Or drink me to death.?!"
Ethan smiled, the smile that weakened her bones, that shook her very core and being.
"Elle, if you run, I chase, and if I catch?" He took her by the waist and pulled her to him. Their body was so close that his hot breath fanned her neck turning her red.
Ethan's hand tightened around her waist "You make me lose my sanity Elle, do you know that?" He bent toward her inhaling her sweet scent that always invaded his senses.
Elle's eye's turned wild "Let me go this instant!"
Ethan's eye's darkened when he gazed down at her luscious red lips. Before he knew it, his mouth captured her lips in a warm sweet kiss.

Chapter: Chapter 8: Make Them Pay.After Elle left the Galla party, the event ended after an hour. Ethan's dejected look was hidden behind the thick mask of his stoic business face he showed people who approached him in the hope to become business partners with him. The conversation between them was brief and straight to the point leaving them no room to discuss business with him. With his mood already sour because of the terrible encounter with Elle, he wanted nothing to do with these people who coated their scornful attitudes with their deceptive smiles. After all, he didn't come back to this city for any business. He could have continued staying in city A if not that he wanted Elle back. He didn't like the way they met each after so many years of staying apart. He had to admit, Elle had grown into a very beautiful and seductive woman. Seeing her up close even for short time was better than seeing her on TV or in magazines where the news about her flourishing company was always the first thing on every headline. Up

Chapter: Chapter 7: Turn down of events. The light suddenly went off and then slowly went back on again on the stage. The man that was speaking was now replaced by a man in a well-tailored black suit. He stood tall and strong with a heavy dangerous aura around him. Everyone was speechless as they silently watched the man who stood like a god on the stage. His manly features captivated and took the heart of every female in the hall. He was the center of attraction as the cameramen took pictures and videos of him. The man earlier returned to give him the microphone before stepping down the stage leaving Ethan at the center. "Good evening everyone" He spoke. His voice resonated around the hall sending shivers down the spine of everyone especially Elle who sat transfixed as she stared at the man in front of her. Were her eyes playing jokes with her or was the man on the stage the same boy she grew up with? The man she had been looking for? Was that Ethan, the Ethan she knew? Her hands terribly shook. Never i

Chapter: Chapter 6: The gala 2, The favored guests. "I think Ethan Cephas is a ghost" Immediately those words left Elle's mouth, everywhere turned quiet. Even the cameramen stopped taking pictures. People that were close enough to hear what Elle said were all shocked as they stared in disbelief with their mouths open. Mia stood transfixed for some minutes before she came out of her trance, she nudged Elle's arm "Elle, what did you say? Just say it was a mistake" She silently whispered for only Elle to hear. Nevertheless, others heard what she said. Soon, everyone started whispering. The TV presenter who was interviewing Elle turned to her co-worker "Did I hear right? She said Ethan Cephas is a ghost. Does she mean ghost in a dark world or another way of calling him invincible?" "Of course, I heard what she said. Everyone did, but then, it might be her way of calling him invincible since this is the first time he's making his presence known" Her co-worker whispered back. The TV presenter cleared her throat before

Chapter: Chapter 5: The gala 1, Ethan Cephas is a ghost. The day of the gala came. Elle and Mia were already at the Spa pampering their skin. Everywhere was bustling with activity. Different companies were all talking about Ethan's corporation that was going to host the gala party tonight. TV and radio stations were also prepared. Some top TV stations showed the highlights of Ethan's corporations. Everyone anticipated the showdown of the business tycoon as it was termed. Not to forget the ladies were all ready to snatch the man. They all imagine what he would look like, the most handsome man, their god of beauty. The ones that were able to attend either because of the family connection, flaunted the invitation to their friends. Those that were not invited were all swimming in the sea of jealousy. Like many ladies, Mia was the most excited as she kept on talking about Ethan in the spa. The attendants seemed to enjoy her little gossip as they glued their ears to her talk, sometimes her asking questions too. Elle could onl

Chapter: Chapter 4: Man on the hood After the day's work, Elle took her bag and went home. The home that was too cold and lonely for her. Everything stood watching her with no life. She couldn't talk to anyone, the only people she expressed her thoughts and fears to was Mia and Daniel. Other than them, she was left alone in the world. Her dad died when she was just a little kid around 10 years. And now the only person that was left also died leaving her alone in this cruel world. Entering her villa, she dropped her bag on the sofa. She removed her shoes and her suit jacket. She had won her limited edition suit to work today, looking elegant and beautiful as always. Taking her bag and shoe in her left hand and her jacket in the other hand she left for her room. Nobody was living with her in the huge mansion, the only people that came and went were the cook and the cleaner. They always came in the morning and left in the evening. Daniel had asked her to hire a maid that will live with her. At least

Chapter: Chapter 3 : Famous Ethan ⁂Chapter 3⁂ ********* ** ******** Elle returned to the office after an hour where Daniel had dropped her off before leaving. She went back to her office, each step she took felt heavy on her chest as she remembered the man that was looking at her. Why did she have a feeling it was Ethan? Maybe she was now hallucinating with the thoughts of meeting Ethan that filled her mind. She entered her office. This was like a second home to her. The office looked comfortable with the warm colors that added to the beauty. The ceilings were painted white and the walls red. The floor was black and light red. The sofas were also red. No doubt the office had more red colors because the owner loved red. Elle sat down on her seat, swirling it after she had gulped down two cups of water to calm her jittery nerves. She was thinking too much into this. Who wouldn't? After all, this was about her safety and also about the death of her mother

Land of the Midnight. Whispers of the lips
In a world where different creatures mingled with humans, despite struggling with the world's hardships, fighting for survival, and attempting to escape the clutches of the night creatures, humans, no matter what they did, always ended up as a tool for survival.
On their quest to acquire power, freedom, and wealth, this dark power's only source of survival was through one soul; the soul of a freeborn.
This soul, being an embodiment of power, could change anything and everything.
Kate Warren was this soul. She was a young, spirited woman whose soul was purer than a dove and was sought by different creatures who would do anything to take everything from her.
Her soul was a power treasure for the demons and a great source of energy for the witches, while her blood was the life-sustaining elixir for the night creatures.
All these things they sought were the keys to unlocking power.
Kate was the only survivor in her town when a massacre took place that caused the deaths of her family.
Unknown to her, she was the motive behind the massacre. Her bad days changed for the worst when she got abducted by a demon.
Facing the chaos surrounding her and building a strong shield around herself Kate found solace in the arms of the night whisper.
The whispers of the night had a certain attraction for her. It always drew her to Clarence Roosevelt, whose name shook her very soul and core, and was also death and life to her.
Having discovered that the only person who can lead her into and also away from destruction is herself, will she save herself and others from destruction, or will she be the destruction itself?
“All she needed to do was listen to the Night Whispers”.

Chapter: Chapter 10: Ulterior Motive (1) Clarence directly teleported himself to the forest near the council building. He walked the remaining distance before entering the building through the huge black gate that was heavily guarded inside. The guards bowed when they saw him walk in. Reaching the entrance of the building, he was met by a scrawny-looking man with pale white skin and red eyes. He was no doubt a vampire but a low-ranked Vampire. "Master Clarence" The man greeted opening the door for Clarence "You came early today," He said as they made their way inside the building. "You were not expecting to see me?" Clarence asked in a bored tone while walking with his chin raised in confidence and his step firm on the hard floor. "N…no master Clarence. It's just that…" The man stuttered as he tried to keep up with Clarence's long strides. "It's understandable Markus" Clarence cut him off "There are a lot who wouldn't like my presence today" Markus did not say anything to this. The council meeting was

Chapter: Chapter 9: Hard Decision. Kate looked down at her folded palms. What was her decision? She hasn't made up her mind yet and she didn't know what to say. She was not sure if she can stay here, but she was also sure those demons will kill her if she went back to her town. She was confused about what to do. It made her feel soberer to realize that she didn't have anyone to ask guidance from. She couldn't ask Madam Rosie, she will tell her to follow her heart. But what is her heart saying? Her heart was cold and her mind was fuzzy, she couldn't think straight anymore. "I can give you all the time to think about it but…" He drawled "They wouldn't also have time to think about it when they're killing you" Was that an encouraging word or a threat to something? Will they really kill her? Of course, they will, she had seen how the last one was about to kill her. Kate looked up at Clarence whose gaze never left her. She couldn't figure out what the man was thinking. Can she live with a man who can disappe

Chapter: Chapter 8: Dark Alley. "What do you mean?" Kate looked the man in the eye. "I think you should finish your meal before we talk about this" Clarence said resting his back on his chair. Kate decided to eat since she was hungry. She didn't have the strength to argue with this man but one thing she knew was that she was not going to stay with him.Taking everything she could find on the table she ate as she had never eaten before. Forget table manners, hunger will make you behave like a woman without ethics. Clarence watched the woman in front of him stuffing food into her mouth. Who knew she was this hungry, perhaps she has not eaten since morning. He silently watched her as she ate while thinking of how to convince her to stay. She looked like the stubborn type who wouldn't listen to him. But he will make sure she stayed.When kate was done eating, James came in and cleared the table. She turned to Clarence "What were you saying, that I'm going to stay here?" "Yes," Clarence answered

Chapter: Chapter 7: Missing Way In an old cave where no human has ever gone, maybe the fear of what they will find or the fear of meeting the night creatures, or probably both made them not step into the deep forest. The ones who claimed to be brave went and never come back again. But no one knew this was where some of the demons resided. Not everyone knew about the existence of demons. They only knew about the night creatures and the witches. Even when the demons killed humans, the blame was always put on the night creatures. The council has done everything they could to keep everything gentle where both the demons, the night creatures, the humans, and the rumored witches will stay without causing chaos. That was the agenda they have been working on for decades which has been unfruitful, especially the massacre that took place a decade ago that involved Kate's town. Inside the cave, it was blazing hot, and different types of demons were everywhere. Some had the shape of a deformed human with blac

Chapter: Inside your Body. They are here! Kate started panicking, and fear struck in. What in the world did I do to these demons? "It's best if you stop thinking, they will hear your thoughts," Clarence said in a whisper. "How can I not think, what will I do to stop thinking" "Shall I kiss you then?" "What!?" This man is insane to think I will allow him to touch me. Clarence sighed, it seems like he had fueled the girl more. He only said that to stop her from thinking, who would have thought it will make her mind jittery? Without thinking he bent down and carried her in his arms before teleporting to his house. Kate didn't know what happened, one minute this man was talking about kissing her and the next they were in a house. She looked around the house and recognized it as the house where he took her before. It felt good going from one place to the other without walking or taking the carriage. She realized she was still in his arms. She wriggled herself out from the ma

Chapter: Shadows Kate and Madam Rosie went back to the shop after bidding goodbye to Borrel. "Now Kate lass, tell me what happened there. You got me so worried" Madam Rosie said as they sat down on one of the benches inside the shop. Kate took in deep breaths as she started narrating "I don't know Madam Rosie, but one minute I was coming back after I've delivered the linen to Madam Castrol and the next I was facing a hideous looking creature". "It was so ugly, that when I called him ugly in my mind, he paralyzed me. I couldn't walk and I couldn't talk""Everything happened so fast that I couldn't keep up, the only thing I remembered he was talking about was that I ruined so many lives, ab…about what happened eleven years ago". Kate's voice broke at the end, the fear that she didn't want to visit years ago was now back, waiting to consume her. "Eleven years ago? That was when the massacre in your town took place" Rosie whispered gently rubbing her hand on Kate's back to calm her down
