"So in the middle of Dad's funeral, you three went out to murder people." Lawrence, who was the saint among them, sighed. Audrey, Jessica and Roxanne had returned back to Hiltonia after Queenie requested them to. Pierce refused to return, insisting that he was now part of the family and needed to be around to show his support. "Not exactly. I just paid them a little visit. It wasn't really that gory. Lucian, tell them." Queenie scoffed and took up her coffee to her lips. "Queenie is right. It was just a warning. A tip of the iceberg. They need to know what's coming." Lucian concurred, looking at his brothers."Are you serious? Are you back to being a refined bastard now that Dad is dead?" Lawrence huffed in exasperation. Queenie slammed the empty coffee on the table, breaking it into pieces and got up to look into Lawrence's face. "I don't understand you, Lawrence. Our father was killed in his home, in his favorite chair and the entire workers were killed alongside him. And you'
The Other Side Of New Jersey , 11:43pm"Where exactly are we going?" Willow asked, walking out with Maverick. "We're going to the other side of New Jersey where there are a lot of things happening. That is the only place we can get a closer coverage on what your father has been doing." The man replied, turning to look at her. Willow paused and inhaled slowly, then she glared at him briefly. "He's not my father." Then she walked ahead of him, heading towards the train station. "Okay." Maverick replied behind her. They soon got to the train station and got on board. However, midway to their destination, a ruckus broke out in the train. The cause of the problem soon ran towards Willow's side of the train. He was quickly caught by some men in the train and held down. Willow furrowed her brows when she realized he was a vampire. "Excuse me. What did he do?" She asked the question everyone around wanted to but couldn't summon the courage to. One of the men glanced up at her and sho
Lucas stared at Pierce with a creased brow. "Were you about to–" Pierce rubbed the back of his head slightly. "You said you found Velon Aspen and his wife, Alicia?" "Yes, people admitted to seeing them after they left Maile but after that, they seemed to have disappeared." Lucas said, going through the files in his hand. He suddenly stopped and looked up at Pierce, "Do you think my father was responsible for their disappearance? I mean, my father is vengeful." "We need to do more digging." Pierce said as he took the papers. "I did everything I needed to do to get this information." Lucas sighed. "That means someone has destroyed information about them. Do you think they are perhaps dead?" Pierce asked with a scoff. "Don't worry, I'll look into it more." Lucas replied and walked down the stairs again. Perlice sat back on the chair and flipped through the pages of the paper until she got to the last page that highlighted the last place Velon appeared in. He frowned and glanced
It took Queenie fifteen to make up her mind about returning to Hiltonia. She made a trip to Lucian's room first before discovering he's not around. She didn't bother checking Lawrence's room which was just opposite Lucian's and headed towards Lucas'. "Lucas?" She called when she got to his door. She waited for a few seconds and when she got no response, she raised her hand attempting to knock a second time when the door swung open and he appeared. Thankfully, she hadn't leaned into the act fully or she'd have tumbled on the floor but she did lose her balance. "You could've just answered from inside." She sighed and glared at him. Lucas bit the insides of his mouth and chuckled, "It only took me thirty seconds to answer. What if I had left you for a minute?" "Trust me, I'd have barged in." She replied and found her way inside his room. She immediately noticed the papers which were scattered all over his table and his table which was switched on showing a report about a murder.
Lucian scoffed and took the chip. He observed it for a while and tossed it back to her. "Thankfully, it doesn't have a listening device. Which means Lawrence is their eyes and ears. But then that leaves us with the question, how did they get to him?" "I don't know but Lawrence has been busy. He's been acting super weird these few days. I'm thinking that's when they got to him." Lucas said. "I think the people who murdered father are the ones holding Liam in captivity. Anyone who isn't afraid of the Knight or the Verlice can only be the Cobras." Queenie butted in. The two men glanced at themselves with a sigh. Lucas reached out and grabbed the chip in Queenie's hand. "I need to see if there's a way I can locate this back to them. You know, just to be sure." He turned and walked back to his room. Lucian was about to walk out when he stopped and turned to her, "Were you really going to leave?" Queenie opened her mouth to say something but later shook her head, "Yes." "I hope you
"So, what's the plan?" Pierce asked as he stopped his car meters away from the registrar's office. "It'll be a little suspicious if I just walk in there and demand to see a marriage certificate. So, I'll be the distraction while you go in and steal it." She replied, looking at him. Pierce scratched his nose awkwardly. "There's nothing wrong with the plan, is there?" She asked notifying his awkwardness. "No, there isn't. It's just how the dignified Pierce Verlice has been reduced to stealing documents in the registrar's office." He replied with a pained smile. "Just view it as one of life's crazy moments." Queenie replied with a laugh and tapped him on the shoulder, "There are some clothes for you on the back seat." The man nodded and extended his hand backward to grab it. He pulled on the hoodie, changed his shoes to a boot and covered his face with a mask. "I'll get down here where they are no cameras while you drive to the front of the office." He said and got down. He soon
Roxanne was the first to walk closer to him. She stared at him for some seconds before shaking her head. Then she turned to Audrey and Jessica. "He looks familiar but I can't remember where I once met him. Any luck?" She tsked. Audrey walked past them without another word. Roxanne shrugged and walked behind her. "Raphael Dean, your presence is something I'm not happy about." Jessica said as soon as they had gone into the elevator. Raphael looked down at the flower in his hand before extending it to her. "At least take the gift I got for you." Jessica stared down at it, "Would you prefer to throw that into the trashcan yourself or I should do it for you?" The man stared at her for a while before chuckling. Nevertheless, he handed it to her and she threw it into the bin. "Now, I have something to attend to." She said and attempted to walk away from him when he held her back. "I was invited to the auction. And as it turns out, I need to come with a date." He said. "I'm sorry, b
Roxanne and Jessica sighed deeply. Nonetheless, they agreed and walked back to the car. "So what do we do now?" Jessica asked after a moment of silence. Audrey sighed deeply and looked outside the car, "There's no way to trace whoever it was that took Velon. But we can ask around the neighborhood for anyone that is close to Velon. At least, they have to be someone he was close to." "But first of all, we need to change our clothes so we can be more effective. I wouldn't want to go around the neighborhood drenched in dirty water." Roxanne agreed. Jessica nodded and started the car again. On their way, her phone rang. "Did you find Velon's whereabouts?" Queenie asked from the other end. Jessica placed the phone on loudspeaker as soon as she picked it. Upon hearing her question, Jessica turned to Audrey who shook her head slightly. She focused back on the road and replied, "We are on it. We will get him to you before you know it.""Alright." Queenie concluded and hung up. …Maile
