Carolina smiled at him and resumed talking."I am really sorry for everything my dad did to Camilla and everything I did too." she told Geremia."There, that's what you should have done since. Remember what I told you that day in the room?" Geremia asked her."Empathy?""Yes, empathy, Even though you are powerful and rich, you should have empathy.""Well it took my father dying and me being sold to realize that.""We all learn to be better Carolina. You still have a bright future ahead of you." Geremia told her.Carolina smiled in response and they continued eating. Afterwards Geremia continued his work on his laptop while Carolina read a book.When it was getting dark, he packed up his things and prepared to leave."Are you leaving now?" she asked him."Yes, I have things to attend to." he answered her."I am sorry for pulling you away from work." she told him."It's okay, Carolina. I had fun, I have forgotten when last I had so much fun." he told her."When will you come back?" she
"Well for the sake of everyone involved, I hope that they do not make a mistake and serve blood to a normal person." Geremia said."I hope so too, we just got them back in the alliance, I do not have the energy to deal with any more trouble" Dante replied."me too."THE NIGHT OF DRACARYX BIRTHDAY PARTY."Happy birthday Dracaryx." Valerie told Dracaryx. They were alone in his room, other guests were downstairs but Dracaryx and Valerie hadn't gone downstairs to meet them."Thanks Val, but you know damn well that I would rather be alone with you than having this party." Dracaryx told him."I know and I would love that too but parties are so much fun too. I didn't like them before but since I became a vampire, they are so much fun to me. I can soak in humanity and pretend to be human just for one night." Valerie told him.Dracaryx reached out and caressed his cheek."I didn't know you felt that way, I have never been human, I was born a vampire. So I don't know how to be human neither do I
Geremia stood awkwardly as Vanna ground against him seductively on the dance floor. He glanced back to see Camilla, Dante and Valerie laughing at him.Vanna whispered in his ear."I have had my eyes on you for a while now." she told him."I thought you had your eyes on Dante?" he asked her."Well he is taken and I don't want him any more. I want you, I know you are single" she told him."And what makes you think i am single?" he asked her."I have ears everywhere, you are single. I also heard about your prowess in bed." she whispered in his ear."My prowess huh?" he asked her."Yes, I heard you were good in bed, very good as a matter of fact. You do one night stands and you don't talk to your conquests again""Conquests? What are we in? The stone age." he asked her."You know what I mean, the poor girls come crying at your doorstep for you to give them a chance, how cruel of you Geremia" she drawled."I don't know what you have heard about me Vanna but I can assure you they are all li
Carolina was just switching off the cooker when she heard the front door open. She left the kitchen and ran to the living room.Geremia was there, he kept his bag on the seat and turned to face her."Hey Lina, the good cook. Are you done?" he asked her."You called me Lina" she told him."It's the short form of your name, isn't it? Calling the full name can be tiring." he replied."Oh! Lina is fine, I guess."She replied."So is the meal ready?" he asked her."Yes, I just turned off the cooker." she replied."So is it good?""you will have to taste it to find out." she told him.He sat at the dining table and waited for her to bring out the food.She brought it out after some minutes and they started to eat. "do you like it?" she asked him."Yes, it tastes so good.""i am glad you liked it.""Lina is such a good cook even is she almost burnt my house down" he teased her. "I am sorry, it wasn't intentional." she apologized."I know it wasn't intentional. I was just teasing you" he tol
Carolina looked at him in shock. He had just wiped her lip with his thumb and then licked. That was the most erotic thing a man had ever done to her."What is it?" Geremia asked her."nothing." she replied, it had probably been a normal thing for him to do. She shouldn't think about it much."What kind of man do you want Lina?" he asked her."A kind man who loves me." she replied."that's all?" he asked."I am not a choosy person. Besides, with my current situation, who would want me?" she asked."What do you mean current situation?" he asked.Carolina stood up to pack the dishes, they had finished eating. "Well, I am not pretty, you said so yourself and I don't even have any wealth or social status." she replied.She carried the dishes to the kitchen and kept them in the sink. She could feel him behind her, he had followed her to the kitchen."Look at me" he ordered her.Carolina turned to look at him.He was so close, very close to her. Carolina knew she was attracted to him, she
Geremia looked at Camilla and tried not to let the panic he was feeling show on his face."I have to go, I will talk to you later." he told Carolina in what he hoped was a normal voice and hung up the call.Camilla sat down next to him on the bed."What are you doing here?" she asked."I was bored so I decided to walk around the house and I found this room, I hope you aren't offended." he told her.Camilla smiled at him affectionately. "I am not offended at all. You are free to walk around the house.""So why aren't you with your fiancé?" he asked her."My fiancé and his brother are impressing Ricciardo and Luciano with their fight moves." she replied."that's nice." Geremia said.Camilla took the picture from him. She gazed at it wistfully."I didn't know you guys were close." Geremia told her."We were little kids, innocent and carefree about the world. Everything changed as we grew up." Camilla replied."That's life Camilla.""My dad asked Sebastiáno to let her stay with us after h
Carolina kissed Geremia back, but she was shocked. She had thought he would never talk about the kiss again so she had decided to forget about it, now she was surprised to see that he was kissing her.He broke the kiss and Carolina looked at him breathless."So where is the ice cream?" he asked."Come on, I will get out of the fridge." she told him.Some minutes later, they were in front of the TV eating ice cream and watching a movie.Carolina glanced at him, he still look tensed. She wondered what exactly had happened at his workplace for him to be so angry."Geremia" she called his name.He looked at her, "Yes" he answered."You still look very tense" she told him."Something happened at work that made me angry, but your delicious ice cream is calming me down" he told her."I give good massages, I use to do so for my father when he was tensed, I can do the same for you." she told him.He smiled at her, "thanks that would be really nice." he told her."Okay, just turn around and rel
Geremia smiled as he looked up at her, "You are right, she didn't tell you to stay away from me." he said as he took her fingers in his hand and kissed them."You should tell Dante about her, just in case she tries something crazy." she told him."I know but he and Valerie would just tease and make fun of me." Geremia complained.She wasn't even massaging him anymore, he was just relaxing in her arms."So you won't tell them?""Hell no.""But you have to be careful""Awwn, are you feeling concerned for me?" he asked."Yes, if something happens to you, I will be locked in here forever. Like Rapunzel." she told him.
Dante had never been more furious in his life. He was pretty sure Vanna had something to do with Geremia's disappearance."Now Dante, I have other things to do. When you do see that cousin of yours. I would accept an apology from you" he said and walked away.Dante turned to Valerie. "I need your guys on this case. We need to find him" he told Valerie."Sure, I will contact Stefano" Valerie replied, he was already sober.He contacted Stefano and told them to look for Geremia."They are on it, they are tracking his phone" he told Dante.
"Why are you asking about my daughter, Dante?" Mr Vegas asked."Well we are looking for Geremia and we can't find him anywhere, we wanted to ask her if she had seen him" Dante replied."well, my daughter has been staying away from him like you requested" Mr Vegas replied."We just want to ask her, it's just a friendly conversation" Dante replied."Well Vanna already retired for the night, she went with her friends for some kind of sleepover, she is an adult, I don't really keep track of her movements. Maybe you should realize that Geremia is an adult as well" he told Dante.

They went inside the house, they divided themselves and went round the house, yet there was no sign of Geremia."Maybe he left his car because he was drunk?" Dante asked aloud."That's not like Geremia at all, he would never drink to the extent that he would need to leave without his car" Valerie said, he was now very worried."His number is switched off" Camilla said."Wait a minute! I don't see Vanna anymore at the party" Dante said."Do you think she has something to do with his disappearance?" Dracaryx asked."Well, there is only one way to find out, we should ask her father where she is" Dante replied.
The party had come to an end and Dante, Camilla, Dracaryx and Valerie made their way out of the party."where is Geremia?" Camilla asked."he must have gone home" Valerie said absent mindedly."Geremia wouldn't go home without telling us" Camilla insisted."But where could he be then?" Ryder asked."isn't that his car?" Dracaryx asked pointing at Geremia's car."Maybe he is sleeping inside" Valerie suggested.They made their way to the car and Geremia wasn't in the car."where could he be?" Camilla wondered."Let's go inside and look for him" Ryder suggested. They made their way back to the house to look for Geremia.
Vanna sauntered close to him on the bed."What's happening is that I am going to have a swell time with you and when I am done, you will realize that I am a great catch" she told him.Geremia struggled with the ropes."You are a sick person, so you realize that? You are going to rape me just because I rejected you?" he asked her.She trailed her long nails down his chest. "Don't be silly Geremia, men can't be raped. I am just going to show you how good I am and what a fool you are for rejecting me." she said with a laugh.
Geremia opened his eyes to find himself on a bed in a strange room. Where was he, this wasn't his room in the mansion.The last thing he remembered was stepping out of the party to go meet Carolina. And thus room certainly didn't look like one of the rooms in the cabin."Finally, you are awake." a sultry voice said. Geremia looked in the direction of the voice to see that it was Vanna.He tried to stand up and then noticed that his limbs were tied to the bed posts."What the hell is going on?" he asked Vanna.
Carolina was still asleep when she felt someone shaking her awake. It was Geremia."Hey, good morning sleeping beauty" he whispered."that's so corny" she told him as she laughed. "I am leaving, I made you breakfast. It's in the microwave, just heat it when you are ready to eat, okay?""Okay. Thanks a lot Geremia" she replied."You are welcome Lina." he told her and then he kissed her forehead.He stood up and left while Carolina settled back to sleep, a smile on her face.Geremia drove back, he was happy and much more relaxed.He got to the mansion and discovered that Dante was waiting for him in his office. "Hey" Geremia said tentatively wondering if he was in trouble."Where are you coming from? Your men said you weren't here last night" Dante asked suspiciously."I uh went somewhere else" Geremia replied hoping Dante wouldn't press him further.Dante looked at him speculatively and then he burst into laughter."What's funny?" Geremia asked."You don't have to hide the fact that
