She squealed, "I knew it! He loves me!" She ended, curling tbe tip of her hair around her fingers. "...and I love him even more," she added quickly."Elsa. You and Chris are in a relationship, right?""Of course," she said in a 'doh' tone.Ivy puffed out air from her mouth, nervous and not knowing how best to approach this. She wasn't trying to take herself out of blame, she just wanted to say it in a way that explained everything in the most concise way she could. This was already starting to get unbearably hurtful and she hadn't even started yet.She took Elsa's hands in hers.'Well, here goes nothing.'"He is not good for you. I'm not trying to break you up but I really love you and I need you to know. He is a playboy."She pulled her hand away from her almost immediately, "how are you supposed to know that?""You know that I will never intentionally try to hurt you, right?"Elsa laughed, taking a step back, "What is going on?""I and Chris..."Her face changed, what was left ther
Elsa eyes widened slighty in shock.That had unintentionally slipped. She looked around quickly at the murmuring crowd, then her gaze landed on that one person."Chris!"Chris didn't look happy, at all. He had stopped in his tracks when he heard her say that. "You lied to her? Amryelsa, you promised you'll help me.""This is all just a misunderstanding," she laughed nervously. "We are just playing, around. Scripts, acting and all for... a role? Right, Ivy?"She turned to Ivy for rescue but she wasn't having any of that."You lied to me. I was beating myself up for hurting you, everytime. I was working so hard to make you happy and you..." she paused, looking right at her. "You played me. You made us all your pawns and you played us.""I did for us. For peace. Can't you see?""You lied to me, Elsa. You USED me!""And you KEPT SECRETS from me!" She tackled right back."To protect you!" She threw a hand forward, pointing it to her. "All my life I've always done things, deprived myself
"What is that even supposed to mean? Just because I said you called you 'Mine'? People claim things all the time. Besides, it was a club. What were you expecting."His hand tightened lightly against the sofa, he arched a eyebrow lowly at her, like as if there was something he was deliberating not saying."It doesn't mean anything," she assured herself, dismissing how the question was indeed bugging her mind."Is that so?" He drawled. With a finger underneath her chin, he tilted her head up towards him. "I heard you had fulfilling dreams about a certain one night stand. I have reasons to believe that lucky person is me.""I didn't--" she stopped when she felt his hand slip in-between her thighs. "It wasn't you," her voice hitched."It wasn't anyone else," he said against her neck, his lips brushing lighting against it.His hand was now holding a part of her inner thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze.Her eyelids slowly fell shut from the sizzling electrifying feeling growing little by lit
She kept on silently walking away.She wasn't worried about running into Jett, he was definitely busy doing something, somewhere.Finally she made it outside and slipped into the car. She would have just called Davies but it would have taken him too long to get a car here for her and by then the damage would have been done.After about thirty minutes since the ride began, her phone started ringing.She reached for it quickly.Could that be Els-- My Christopher?She didn't remember saving his contact that way. She didn't remember saving his contact at all or even requesting for it to begin with.She watched it ring till the call ended. She really didn't want to speak to him. Her phone dinged right after.A text message. It was from Chris and it read;"I know things are rocky between us..."Us? That was bold."But I need to know that you ran away and not that you were kidnapped."What a wierd question.Before she could even stop herself, she fired him back a text."Smartly avoided c
It had taken a while but it finally hit her. They were no longer friends. Workout thinking, she had all the locks changed.Elsa had the keys to the old one and something about that didn't feel so right anymore.She was angry, pissed beyond imagination. How dare she?! She should be the one trying to meet her halfway in all these, not push the blame totally on her. Besides, she had been the one to trick everyone to begin with. How could she have been so blind.Elsa had been very selfish and manipulative.Now that she thought about, she had always been like that.The real spoilt brat here was her!She picked up a bag and started going around the house, dumping everything that was Elsa, or that reminded her of Elsa into the plastic bag. "You are the real devil! I hate you! I pray that whenever you order they get your orders mixed up, and that they sprinkle peanuts all over your donuts, and may you never be able to draw a perfect eyebrow ever again!" She yelled as she got rid of anyth
Ivy stilled to where was petrified, the laughter from the comedy she was watching a while ago now fading away into a distant noise."I'm listening.""Tell Chrslistopher to come and get his human."Just after that, she could hear Elsa shouting again."Don't listen to these crazy Fuckers, Ivy! They are not hu---" her voice cut short.Silence.Ivy's grip tightened around her phone, her breath hitched, her eyes watering with tears. "She doesn't have much time," the voice that had been speaking to her earlier said again, then line went dead.No, no, no, no, no!He didn't give her any information!She quickly tried to call back the number but it was impossible.Then she got a message.It was them.There was the address of where Elsa was, hopefully, and a warning for her not to tell anyone except Christopher. Then there was the time Elsa had left, ticking away.30 mins.***Ivy's shaky hands held the steering wheel in a death grip.She looked straight at the map on her phone, her eyes wate
"What do you mean we are too late," Ivy dropped Elsa gently on the floor. She knew that what he said had a high chance of being true but there was no way she could accept that. "Why are you not calling the ambulance yet? Your phone is right there with you. In your hands!"Then she started looking around."Where is my phone? Where is that freaking little box?!"Then she found it, laying just right there on the floor. She must have dropped it while she had ran in earlier.She picked it up, dialing the emergency numbers immediately."It's too late," his voice was calm. It angered her.How could he be calm about all this? Was it because of what Elsa did? Or because he had no real connection to her? This was a life or death situation. None of that should matter!She snapped her gaze towards him, the phone pressed to her ear."She is still breathing," the words pushed through her teeth as she pointed to her friend who was still laying weakly on the floor."Very faintly," he replied, unfaz
"Tea might help."She heard a voice from behind and she jumped up in fear, her hand raised to her chest like as if to stop her heart from exploding out of her chest from how fast it was racing.She turned to see that there was a dark, tall man behind her, dressed like a butler. His eyes were warm, they had a glint of a brilliant red in them and they seemed to twinkle.How was it that she hadn't heard him coming?He stretched out a teacup to her."It is warm," she commented, nervously, taking the teacup from him with shaky hands. Something about his stare was absolutely unsettling."The Sire is an expert at what he does," he spoke, his voice sounding like someone who had seen too much of the world. "Your friend is safe."Safe, that sounded like a really interesting word because right now, she was starting to worry a lot about her whole safety. Then just as silently as the butler had appeared from nowhere, he disappeared.Wait, was this house hunted? She gasped, looking down at the t
Ivy woke up feeling just as ecstatic had she felt when she fell asleep. Everything was perfect except for two things.It was morning now, around 8am. Also, Chris was not by her side when she woke up. She hadn't even known when he left. "I had some matters of the House to attend to," his voice seeped out through the phone speaker that was pressed to her ears, as she prepared warm tea. "I stayed throughout the night though. Only left like an hour ago. Are you sure you are feeling okay, my love?""Ecstatic. 'Matters of the House, okay, okay.' You sound so ancient." She chuckled and could almost hear him do the same.The spoon she stirred in her tea clicked against the inside of the mug, and she took a sip."So when are we doing that again?""What?""Yeah, oh you have no idea how much I wish you were feeding from me right now. It just makes me feel so good."She took another sip, the warmness of the tea going through her on this cold morning, but she knew that wasn't the only reason she
She's was dozing off way too fast. Her eye lids that had long fluttered close, going still and stiff."Fuck. Fuck!" He cursed, holding her almost limp cold body in his arms as he attempted to lay her on the bed.He knew he should have stopped, he knew he should have stopped himself a long time ago. He had taken too much. The smile on her face was a plain show of the euphoria he had given her while feeding from her. There was no possible way she would have know that she was dying. She wouldn't even be able to sense it.He was quick to have her back against the soft bed and a part of his palm that he dugged his claws in pressed to her mouth, so that his blood trickled through her parted lips, into her mouth, and down her throat.She gulped almost too weakly, but that was adequate. His blood would find its way into her system and that should be enough.Hopefully.Then he pulled back, his claw pulling out of his palm, his skin sealing up, his blood drying up.His whole body tensed, his
An insatiable hunger. A need that heated her up to her very core.The emptiness in her almost made her weep. Her inside walls clenching around thin air was starting to ache badly, needing something more. Something thick, big and long, to go deep and fill her up. This hunger was strange, this hunger was good, this hunger was immerse, overpowering and welcomed.Back arched, and toes curling, she mumbled incoherent words to herself.This lustful need for him was taking over her and she was surrending fast, not fighting it at all, surrending completely.He was like a drug that she was totally addicted to.Hating his stillness, she moved up and down his hand, feeling it go slick and smooth against her heat, making her brain feel tiny shocks that felt electric.Fuck, she needed him!She suddenly felt like she was in a daze, then she felt her back being pressed against the bed with him over her, her lips sealed against him in a hungry kiss, her hands around his neck as her tongue explored
"I am not married, Ivy. Just like you." He murmured against her skin, making her tremble slightly.Just like her? What was that supposed to mean?His kisses on her neck was starting to be a little painful as she felt his fangs graze lightly against her skin, she gasped, before she felt his cold tongue flicked over it, relieving her pain immediately, replacing it with pleasure.Her body tensed at the memory of this warm wonderful feeling, her yearning mounted with each passing moment.He pulled her robe further down her shoulder, leaving the soft upper part of her breast slightly expose. He knelt in front of her, in-between her open legs, placing his harsh kiss like an arch over her exposed breast, leaving hickeys behind. She snaked her hand into his hair, holding tightly unto it, pulling with each turtorous kiss, while she looked down at him through eyelids that slid close anytime his lips made contact with her skin. She could feel herself go wet with anticipation, feeling pleasure
It all began that night. It was raining, really heavily. There was the thunder and lightening, the noise, the peace.Feeling unusually sleepy, Ivy had gone up early, had her bath and changed into her thick nightgown to help her stay warm. She had also ensured that the windows and doors were locked, the curtains pulled down.The room still felt a little cold but she like it. She hadn't settled into her bed though, instead she had eased into her dressing chair, texting back polite replies to her piling inbox.Then she heard it. A noise by her window.It was so silent, she could have missed it.At first she had just thought it was the wind but her mind went to what had happened to Elsa and she grew tensed.What if someone was out there, climbing up her window. What if the person was one of Chris's enemies and they had finally been able to get to her? What if they were here to kill her.Her throat choked with fear, it was getting rather difficult to breath now. With her hands hoverin
Flowers again. It's been three days after that whole incident. Things had been relatively back to normal, Koel had left the morning after, and this was the third time in a row that Chris was sending flowers to apologize. He said he would keep doing that till he was able to get off the House duties, then come to her and make all the lost moments up to her in a grand style.Today's bouquet of flowers was abundant.Red roses."Are you sure you don't want to come with us to Ubia?" Her Mother asked, rushing around the room. Her parents were going on a trip once again, only that this time it wasn't majorly for business. They planned to have fun along the way. Ivy was happy about that."Take this to the car," her Mother said to one of the helpers."I'm sure. I have things to do here."Ivy set the flowers aside and flopped on the sofa."Like what? Not go to work? Invite more men over who make great tea and call them 'just friends'? Get this unending roses delivered to your doorstep?"Well,
"There are no unwanted presence in the house, I did a quick check before coming down to the kitchen."Koel's voice snapped her out of her train of thoughts. He was seating by her dressing table, his arms folded across his chest. The light was still on, so she could see him perfectly."Nice. That is very normal. When did you get the gifts?""On our way here. The Sire had told me to."Ivy found herself smiling at that. Chris was always so thoughtful.She couldn't wait to get this contract holding her hostage to expire so that she could marry him. Then she remembered the complications of his world and she sighed."More tea?"She looked towards Koel who was already ready to pour her a cup of tea, and she sighed tiredly."You are going to drown me in tea."He stopped, then set back the jug on the table."If you don't want more tea, then is there something I can help you with? I have studied humans a lot. I can come in assistance."She sat up at the opportunity."Who is Chris's brother an
Whatever Ivy had seen when she got in definitely wasn't what she had expected.The light was on in the sitting room and everything seemed peaceful. Then a loud rattling from the kitchen. Ivy tensed up as she tiptoed closer to the kitchen, her heart thundering in her chest.'Let my parents be alright, let my parents be alright.' She mumbled continually to herself till she came to the open door."Careful, Maxwell. It's still hot." She heard her mother snap with urgency but she sounded nothing like she was in some sought of grave danger. "Ayyy, Romito. I was wondering when you'll get home." Her mother said, looking straight at her.She looked as firm as always, just that this time she had a pan in her hands, an apron on, and she seemed almost bubbly.Even now, she still looked like Ivy's elder sister by a couple of years and not her mum. She would have to find out the secret of eternal youth from her, it might come in handy some day."There you are," her Father said, turning away from
"I told her nothing, Sire." Ivy had never heard Elsa's voice tremble with so much fear in her life, except for the time when they had found her bleeding to death. Immediately, Elsa seemed to have come back to herself. She was no longer grunting in pain, she seemed normal now. "We have to go," Chris said to Ivy. When he turned to her, he no longer looked wild. He pressed a kiss against her lips, sending tingles down her veins, goosebumps lacing her skin. He pulled away, resting his forehead against her's, before he finally let her go. He turned to the Butler that was now by her side once again. He wasn't there before, he must have used his vampire speed. "Keep her save for me. Koel." "Yes, Sire." Without another word, he started walking towards Jett, towards the helicopter. This didn't feel good at all. It felt like some last goodbye scene right out of a movie and she didn't like it one bit. "See you soon, Princess." Elsa managed to give Ivy her signature carefree smile, b
