Isabella stare at her father in confusion.
" Father i really do not understand what is going on. Why would you want to work with Mr Duvall? Don't you know how much he loathe the beasts? "
Martin dropped the file in his hand and stood up to attend to his nagging daughter.
" I thought you hate the beasts, why does working together with Mr Duvall bothers you so much ? Wait a second Isabella... " He hesitate. " Don't tell me you have fallen for the handsome no ... The beautiful man from yesterday? "
Isabella stop breathing for a second.
Really? Am i falling for the sexy ... Shit! Sexy my foot. No way! She shook her head to drive away the thought.
She couldn't help but think about Hayden's father as well.
I think i should inform Hayden about my nightmare.
" I do not love Hayden at all . He is a beast... Remember? "
" And a beautiful one. He is the leader of them all and i heard he sure is the strongest "
She rolled her eyes, waving away the thought of Hayden.
Martin sighed softly before walking back to his desk.
" I think Leon is interested in you. If you do not want to get married to a beast then how about you married Leon Duvall? He is an intelligent fellow "
Isabella snorted at the words of his father before walking to her office.
***
" i think that is the best idea master before any more damage was done " Farrell replied in a low tone.
Hayden who sat down on the sofa nodded.
" But how are we going to find the last one? We had a hard time before finding this two " Jansen chipped in. They all sat inside Hayden's living room after a long day. It was nearly evening and they were tired.
" We should keep looking, if we find the last one the cave will be their next abode " Hayden said with a tone of finality. He still can't understand why the beasts were behaving unruly.
They have spent a hard time before they succeed in finding the two, now the last one which is Joyce stepfather is still missing.
The thought of him killing the humans makes Hayden worry.
Kyle walk in at that moment, Bowing slowly to Jansen and Farrell who stare at him indifferently. The both never have like kyle one bit. They feel jealous whenever Hayden treat him well.
Hayden turn to Kyle cocking up an eyebrow in question.
" Master your dad would love to see you as soon as possible " He said in a low tone but that is unnecessary because all the men in the living room except him has the ability of acute hearing.
" Why? Nevermind... I will meet him " he said getting on his feet. Due to the rain he was wearing a Black raincoat that swirls around the top of his boots. " Keep searching for him... Okay ? " He ordered Jansen and Farrell before walking out , Kyle quickly followed him.
He arrived at his father's house finally and alighted, walking into the building.
The maids all greeted him respectfully and he only nodded in response. He could hear their whispers and lustful gaze but he ignores them all. He realized after he has met Isabella his beast has stop reacting the way it always does.
He stood at the entrance of his father's study and waited. His paranormal sense picked up the scents of human blood but he shrugged to wave it away.
It absurd to think of anything bad about father. He said to himself before pushing open the door. As usual pride dark was reading an old book without acknowledging his son's appearance at first.
Finally when he is done fooling around he encourage Hayden to sit.
Glaring at him , he asked" I heard you have been busy with the beasts that loose their mind? "
" Yes father,i will send them to the cave if i found the last one "
" How about your fiancee? "
Hayden sighed softly, feeling impassive he shrug.
" She is fine " then he asked suddenly " father why does it has to be Isabella Martin? I heard you promised her father to help his company financially. Is there anything i need to know about this sudden marriage? "
Pride stare at his son for a long time. Hayden tried using his paranormal sense but it just wouldn't work.
" It is only a normal thing to do Hayden. Actually i called you here to inform you that your one week holiday has come to an end. You should get Back to Beast Clan and start working. "
Hayden tried not to roll his eyes. Beast Clan is the magnificent company of the Dark family and
The leaders were made the CEO.Hayden wanted to protest that the week has not come to an end but he knows his father will hear none of it.
He smiled and get on his feet because his father has resume reading.
He walk out of the room and step into the hall then he stop by a group of maids smiling at him.
They stopped smiling immediately they noticed his presence.
Hayden creased his face in confusion.
They are humans. Why would father appoints humans as his maids? I thought he hate them. He told himself but the distance words he heard from Farrell drag him away from his thoughts.
He bolted to his car and get in. Kyle sat beside him while he, himself took the wheel. He would have preferred calling Beasty out so he could race there but he doesn't want to scared the humans.
He stop at MT castle and rush out of the car. He was very worried when Farrell informed him that the last missing beast has showed up in MT castle and has attacked Isabella who was just coming from work.
Hayden rushed to Isabella who has a deep cut on her shoulder. Hayden clenched his jaw when he sees this.
He turn to see Joyce stepfather groaning in pain. Jansen and Farrell has taken him out.
Isabella afraid to glance at Hayden turn to walk Into the house but Hayden grab her by the wrist gently.
" I told you not to go out " he said acidly making Isabella shudder at the coldness of it.
" I had to work... I do not think you have the right to order me around. I'm not a beast " She said withdrawing her wrist from Hayden.
She tried to ignore the flutter of anticipation in her stomach. The flutter however blossomed into a hard knot when she heard Hayden's beast growl.
She didn't turn around, afraid she won't hold back anymore. She walk into the house leaving Hayden standing with a set jaw and clenched fist.
Isabella walk through the hall tiredly, her heart aching and she could not pinpoint why. She ignores the maids greetings and walk to the large living room where she saw joyce crying." Huh, Joyce what's going on ? " She rush to her friend in concerned.Joyce took her time before sniffing. " I saw it. I saw how step father attacked you. He doesn't seem like himself, although i am scared of the beast that live in him but he is never like that. He love mum a lot. I just don't understand why he killed... " Tears didn't allow her to finish. She burst into tears sniffing." Oh goodness, come here darling " Isabella cooed , walking to joyce to gave her a hug. " Hayden will keep him in control " she said silently before patting her back.Just then the door bell rang out, the maid answered it. A minute later Farrell walk into the living room slowly.The best friend regard him with surprise expression. He shifted uncomfortably as if he was been forced to enter." joyce? " He called exchanging
It has been almost two weeks since Isabella saw Hayden. She has heard from joyce who was now working at beast clan that he has gone to the cave.She couldn't deny that she miss him a lot.Had i know he will be gone this long i would have been nice to him on the last day i saw him. She thought to herself.She walk out of her room that morning to get herself a cup of coffee. Walking sluggishly she made her way to the large kitchen. She saw Martin on the way and she greeted politely.Martin stare at her carefully." Your fiance is back " he announced. Isabella eyes open widely at the news." Really? He is back? " She asked happily." Yes, his father has been to me. He want to speed up the wedding so the date was changed. We have both agreed to held the wedding ceremony next week "Isabella stood still suddenly, her features froze in death." Dad you can't do this ... Will i be living with Hayden after we got married ? "Martin stare at his daughter in confusion." You prefer to live he
Isabella felt dejected when she left Hayden's domain. She tried to wave the sadness away but it just wouldn't go off her mind so she put a call to joyce who promise to leave work earlier than necessary. She drove home to get some rest and to have a time to herself. When she step into the living room she met a man , no, not just any man , a very beautiful one who smile at her brightly. Isabella heart skip a beat at the sight Why do i keep encounting beautiful men this days ? She asked herself inwardly but to her great surprise the man responded. " Because you deserve it " Isabella exhaled sharply at this. She neatly lost her footing but thanks to the mysterious man who held her. Carol , Isabella step mother walk into the living room at that moment and smile. " Isabella you are here " She said smiling brightly. Isabella quickly look away from the mesmerizing eyes of the mysterious man and face her step mother with a questioning eyes. The woman get the message quickly. " Oh you m
Isabella frown at Sidney with her hands clenched." What are you doing here ? " She asked , her voice shooking slightly. She was quite scared of her new step brother." To stare at your beautiful face " He replied easily smiling. Joyce who was beside herself with dismay breathe out shakily. Isabella made to walk out of the room but was stopped by the mysterious man who held her by the wrist " You don't walk away when i was still speaking " he said pulling her back roughly.Isabella fell down on the tiles in shock.She has never ever been manhandled, Joyce was very shocked at the sight. She quickly walk to Isabella whose wrist was now bleeding.Isabella face widen at this, she stare up to see Sidney's fangs dripping blood. Her face creased in great horror." Oh my God! Did you want to kill her ? " Joyce asked in horror shouting on top of her voice that carol dash into the room." What is going on here? " She asked pinning her gaze on Sidney who look away.She swallow hard when she saw
Due to sleeplessness and excessive exhaustion from his trip to the cave and back, Hayden slept all day. As soon as he left Isabella standing in his beautiful living room, he has headed for his bedroom where he took his bath and laid down immediately.He woke up at night to work out and to have his dinner then he went back to bed. He was finally woken up the next day around mid day by kyle." Master, Master " Kyle called standing beside the bed. He dare not touched him. Hayden opened his eyes slowly to stare at Kyle, he sat up. The bed coverlet dropped to revealed his massive chest." What is it? " He asked in a sleepy voice.He saw kyle swallow hard before responding." Your wedding, master it's today "Hayden didn't react at first because he was still feeling sleepy. The words later sink into his plain mind and he shot Kyle a dazed look." What? " He managed to whispered.Kyle who clearly knows he was getting upset step backwards before repeating." Your wedding day is today master "
Isabella watched as her new husband, hayden dark left in his car with his two men. She swallowed uncomfortably , with sad heart she walk to her father." You should brace yourself Isabella, we all know hayden is a very busy man " Martin offered trying to ease the sadness in his daughter.Isabella gave him a small smile, searching for her step mother and brother but there are nowhere to be found. Joyce walk over to her." Happy married life issy, wow! I'm so excited for you baby " She announced brightly.Martin excused himself by walking to pride dark for a conversation." I couldn't find Sid anywhere and i noticed Hayden's frown before he left the building. I just hope nothing bad is going on " Isabella said to her friend who nodded in response." I saw hayden gripping your wrist, is he mad about the injury? "The new bride sighed heavily." He is, obviously. I lied about it but as usual he applied his paranormal sense to expose me. I really am not comfortable about all this " She sa
Hayden took his time in the bathroom, he finally walk into the room dripping wet with a towel around his waist.He have no problem in walking around his room naked but for Isabella's sake, he has to covered up. Isabella sat there, on the bed staring at him nervously." You shouldn't be in here " Hayden said in a hard tone." Huh? " She whispers, confused.Hayden whirled around to face her." You know from the start already that this marriage won't work, you said so yourself. You said you hated the Beasts and all about them. I have arranged a separate room for you, the last thing i wanted right now is to be closer to a human who look down on the my kind " He replied acidly. He walk to his closet and pick one of his pajamas" You are so cruel hayden dark " Isabella said silently before walking out.Watching her retreating back, hayden sighed and roll his eyes.She should know better. Isabella dash out feeling very miserable, she had thought hayden would be nice, nicer to her but no. S
Hayden stood up from the bed and extended a hand to Isabella who stared at the palm in confusion." Get up, let's get you something to eat " he said gently." To eat? " She asked in horror. " For goodness sake hayden, i just told you about a murderer, someone who killed my mother and the next thing for you to ... "" I'm thinking " he cut in calmly " and I can't concentrate when your stomach grumbles like that "Instinctively Isabella rub her stomach." It isn't grumbling " She defended." It is, humans won't hear it. " He said withdrawing his hand. " Follow me, I don't want you to get lost " he said walking out.Isabella rose from the bed and followed her new husband." Why is everywhere so lighted up ? " She asked when she catch up with him." I'm kind of scared of darkness, one of my weakness. Don't tell anyone " he whispered smiling.Isabella managed to tore away her eyes from the beautiful man beside her who wore Black pajamas. His muscular chest revealing slightly due to the und
Hayden step into his domain and sighed softly. No one is in sight and he knew the Beast lord and Leah would have vanished into thin air. He sighed again while taking his sit om his couch.Everything was in vain. The paranormal abilities and the effort to bring back the dead. He held out his palm to stare at them dejectedly. His thoughts went to Kyle and Farrell and he gulped down nervously. He was more devastated than anyone else. The death of the two was so much for him to take in. Farrell wasn't just a friend or his messenger and Kyle was much more than merely a secretary. Hayden has nothing to smile upon anymore, nor does he wish to be happy. He sat there on the couch for the whole day without movie any inch. He didn't weep nor did he lamented. He only sat there carried away by his bitter thought. ***" You should move in with us Joyce, i have explained all to my dad. We all know Kyle won't come back nor Jenny or Farrell " She stood in Joyce's living room staring at her bes
Hayden signed softly when he stare up at his house. Nothing makes him happier but the thought of Jenny and Farrell filled his troubled mind.He hang down his head before gritting his teeth.All hope was not lost yet, we still got Baby Rell with us. He thought to himself sorrowfully.Finally he was jerked off from his thoughts when Isabella walk to him." I need to check on my dad Hayden " She whispers tiredly " It's been almost a month " He only nodded in response. He turned to the others before nodding." I need sometime alone with my father " Jansen only sighed in response." i will go and check on Camille and the children " Jansen answered smiling weakly. He turn to Joyce who still couldn't believe Kyle was lost forever. she gulped down nervously , trying hard not to cry. " You should stay safe Joyce " " Thanks " She mutters weakly to Jansen.Hayden was busy watching everyone. He sighed again. " Be safe you two " He said to Isabella and Joyce " Just say a word if you ... " He
Kyle and Farrell finally appeared from the bush. The others have been waiting for them. Isabella smile at them , she was leaning against the car with Joyce next to her. Sidney was already seated in the driver's seat while Jansen and Tyler was at the backseat." We are sorry for taking so long " Kyle apologize while Farrell smile softly." Anyone had breakfast yet? " Farrell asked tucking his head inside the car beside Sidney. " Not yet " Jansen replied from the back " I think no one is hungry " Farrell straighten up and face the ladies outside. " You care for any food? " He asked them but they shook their heads in the negative. " Let's get moving then " he announced loudly.After about ten minutes they finished packing up their bags and ready to leave. It is a sunny cool day with the birds chirping lovingly around the vicinity. The journey began with them having light conversation and laughter. Gradually tall trees start revealing themselves, the vicinity was disturbingly silent
" My name is Rasmus and I am an only child " The Beast Lord started " Born without wealth and riches i am subjected into poverty at my early age. My poor father, a peasant farmer would toil the earth for many months with his tiny rusty hoe but that never was enough to provide for the family three square meal a day. I have to survive this ! i have to help mum and dad out of this misery. I woul say to myself many times. One fateful day i had an encounter with Leah, stunningly beautiful lady that caught my heart at once. We become friends eventually and along the line we fell head over heel in love with each other. unknown to me she is a princess " He stop suddenly to catch his breath, Staring at Isabella especially.Sidney who has been listening curiously give way to his anxiousness and asked." Is there a King at that time? " " Yes, there is a cruel King. He lives for many years to make my life miserable " He stop speaking to catch his breath. Farrell who has been watching him care
Hayden gulped down uncomfortably as he keep his Golden eyes on his father waiting for him to clear the confusion that was building in him." Continue father. Beast lord did what ? " He asked after a long minutes of silence. Pride walk away to the window and peer down." You aren't just a Beast Hayden. You are something else " He said gently looking out of the window and the cool breeze blows his hair backward." How do you mean father? If I'm not just a beast then what else am i ? How and why do i have to be different ? " Now he is panicking. A small like rock has settled in his stomach and he is having a hard time to drive it away." I don't know as well but when you were born... You are different " Pride replied in a low tone. This didn't help but just to increase the uneasiness of Hayden.He took a long stride to his father breathing roughly. He cant stay calm, no. This is about him being something else which he didn't Know." How do you mean different father... Explain to me in d
The drive to Beast quarter was a silent, tensed one. Finally Farrell who was driving heave a sigh of relief when he finally pulled into the Grandiose building and the massive gate open per his request.“ Let’s go Kyle ” Jansen said “ Stay close alright? ” “ Alright ” He said nodding.They entered the building cautiously and Kyle did as Jansen had advised him. “ Why are you here? ” The harsh voice of Neil came into their hearing as soon as they step into the building. “ Oh you have come to see Their criminal? ” Jansen scoffed softly. He knew Neil would never dare to call Pride a criminal in the presence of Hayden. They all know that it was only happening because of Hayden’s absence. “ We are here to see Pride Dark ” Farrell corrected “ Master’s father ” Neil gate vary from Farrell to Jansen and finally fell on Kyle. “ Isn’t that the Goblin we needed? ” Kyle stay closer to both the men in fear. His breathing hard and rasp all of a sudden. “ We are only here to have some words wi
Isabella couldn't believe her own eyes as she stare at her reflection in the mirror. She turn slowly to see the white painted room drifting back to normal. Horrified about what is happening for she couldn't see Sidney on the bed anymore. Isabella heard her name and she jerk awake instantly. " Issy are you alright? You have been sleeping " Joyce voice came into Isabella's ear and the latter stare around to find herself in Hayden's living room. Kyle was pacing about in panick and Cecil sat on the sofa accross her gingerly with her fingers brushing her hair comfortably. Isabella frown deeply when she realized she had been dreaming, she heave a sigh of great relief and her mind skip a beat instantly. " Where is my husband? " She asked no one in particular but the pacing Kyle stop in his track all of a sudden to stare hard at Isabella " where is Hayden? " Isabella choked out once again biting her lower lips to stifled a sob. " I really can't believe she could take a nap when her so
Rell was busy smiling up at Kyle’s face. It was almost dark and Isabella with Farrell hasn’t show up. Jansen's children has been a dear while his wife has been so helpful in the house. Tyler was still recovering while Joyce was with him all day, probably avoiding Kyle. Jansen walk into Kyle’s room without knocking. They are both getting accustom with one another. Well not by choice , the crucial time has finally brought them together. “ So they haven’t arrived?” he asked Kyle who leaned against the wall staring down through the window. “ They haven’t return ” He replied “ I’m having a bad feelings about this already.” Jansen gritted his teeth tightly then stood still to listen to Farrell’s voice. Kyle didn’t Interrupt him for he knew what the man was doing. After a while Jansen announced. “ They are on their way ” as though the baby heard and understand jansen’s words he coo softly smiling at his father’s friend. “ Bring him here ”Kyle gave the baby to Jansen carefully. “ You
" we will take you to the man you seek " Elvis, Kyle's second brother speak out in haste. He had witness the fury in Sidney's eyes and he knew the latter meant business. Elvis lead everyone through the hall and towards a dark locked room. " There he is " He whispers to Kyle who clenched his teeth in annoyance. Isabella knew why Hayden was left weak so she quickly dash towards the locked windows and opened it hurriedly. The ray of light splashed into the room at once and everywhere was lighted up. Hayden was there, sprawled on the floor with his eyes closed. " He seem dead after we locked him up in this Dark room and ... " Kendell wasn't lucky enough to finish his words when Isabella charged at him. Farrell quickly grab her from behind before she claw her way to Kyle's step brother. " Darkness is Hayden's secret for goodness sake! " She yell out furiously " If anything bad happens to my husband, i promise I won't let you live " She swore hotly. No one speak , all of a sudden and s
