Lucas paced to and fro in his bedroom while Roxanne sat on the bed watching him. "What did you did?" She asked after minutes of him walking about. "Well, I asked Liam to come over to Hiltonia because I had something very important to talk to him about." He started and gulped down heavily. "I'm listening. Continue." Roxanne spoke up seconds after he stopped talking. Lucas glanced at her for some seconds before walking to the bed. He grabbed her hands tightly. "You see, Queenie has a really violent temper and she has killed people who did little to hurt her than all the attempts Natasha had made to kill her." Roxanne raised a brow, trying to understand what he was implying, she asked, "So you're afraid Queenie will kill Natasha?" "Exactly!" Lucas smiled dryly, "Queenie will kill Natasha if we do nothing. It's just a matter of time." "I have no problem with Queenie murdering Natasha. And I don't think you should be. Besides, you should be thinking of what her reaction will be whe
Knight Mansion In Maile Jacobs Knight sat in the living room going through his early morning newspaper when Lucian walked down the stairs on a call. "Why would Queenie shoot you?" He scoffed to the person on the other end. "If you really want me to help you, then you have to be truthful to me because Queenie will never shoot you because of a reason like that." He huffed. "What's going on?" Jacobs, whose attention had long been taken after he heard him mention Queenie's name, asked. Lucian paused and glanced at him. "Good morning, dad. Queenie shot Lucas." "Oh, what did he do this time?" The man asked with a light smile. "He has refused to tell me. Keeps beating around the bush." Lucian sighed and placed the call on loudspeaker. "Turns out I'm not the only one curious about what you did. Dad also is." He spoke to Lucas.Lucas stayed silent. Ever since the incident where he bolted out of the house two years before, he hadn't spoken to his father. Lucian was about to give up, wh
The Knight's Mansion was filled with people of different caliber. Jacobs Knight laid quietly in his coffin, clad in a black suit like he had always worn when he was alive. Amidst the activities going on, Queenie towered above her father's coffin, turning the lighter in her hand on and off. She sighed several minutes after and dipped the lighter into her pocket. "Jacobs Knight. How could you leave without saying goodbye to me. We literally fought every day of my life and you had the nerve to leave without putting on a hard fight. How cute of you." She chuckled and dipped her hands into her pockets afterwards. Suddenly, she reached out and touched the hole in the middle of his head. While she was admiring it, Pierce walked up to her and stood beside her. He looked down at her hand which wouldn't stop caressing Jacobs' forehead. "Whoever did that sgot at a close range." He said and Queenie nodded. "I know. I also know they murdered the entire staffs and right now, that is making
"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
