She stop to stare at the clock.Who is it so late?
She walk to the door open it only to see her best friend , Isabella Martin.

She look over to the small bag she carried.
" I can explain " Isabella offer when she noticed her friend stare.
" Of course " Joyce went over to the kitchen and appear moment later with a full mug in her hand.
Shrugging, Isabella received the mug from Joyce and lifted it to her mouth.
" It is my dad " Isabella said before taking a sip. She enjoyed the warm sweetness as it slid down her throat "
" Sit down " Joyce offer pointing to the sofa in the small living room.
Joyce has been living alone ever since her mother had remarry. Joyce felt it will do no good to continue living with her mother and step Father who is a beast.
" Can you believe my dad asked me to marry a beast? " Isabella asked
" Wait a second issy , why would your dad advise you to go onto a marriage like that ? "
" Because of MT site. He claimed the beast would support the company when he married me " She explained.
Joyce nodded " that's so much like your dad , so what is your answer to that ? "
Isabella gave her friend a " How do you mean look "
" I declined of course. Now I'm here to stay for sometime " she replied in a low tone.
" What? Here !? " Joyce asked shrieking.
" Of course, you are my best friend. There is no where else for me to go " Isabella replied shrugging her shoulder.
Joyce sighed wistfully as she noticed the sad expression on her friend's face.
" Great! How about we go out for fun tonight. And do not say no because I know you are sad "
Isabella rolled her eyes tiredly.
" Come on Joyce, I'm tired " she tucked the strands of a few hairs to the back of her ear." No way! Let's go. " Joyce said getting on het feet.
Isabella laughs " you are crazy Joyce. "
" Maybe i am "
***
Joyce pull into the club smiling. She halted besides two men splashing water on them.
" Sorry " she apologized when she alighted. Isabella stare at the taller man and smile.
She ran to Joyce who was walking hastily inside the club.
" Don't you see how sexy the guy is ? " She yell to her friend over the loud music.
" I know " Joyce yell back. She walk straight to the counter ordering a drink immediately.
" I don't need a drink. You know I'm light headed " Isabella said refusing the drink from her friend but joyce insisted. " Sure, you will have to drive then " she received the drink and drank it all up in one go.
Her gaze scan the dancing floor of the club to the VIP areas where she sighted the man she has saw earlier.
" He is a womaniser , i see " Joyce said when she noticed Isabella staring at the handsome man who relax with a lady on his lap.
" Yeah, whatever " Isabella mutters as she drank another shot.
" Easy issy. You don't want to be drunk before we leave " Joyce says loudly and Isabella nodded.
" What do you think of your step Father joyce? I heard beasts were caring "
" No way! I do not think so. I heard the beast growl sometimes within him. It is so scary that i have to leave home. I wonder how my mum is coping with him. "
" I know right. I just can't get involved with them. It's hard to recognize them since they won't revealed their identity, I'm sure many of them are in MT site working for me "
After about an hour Isabella was pretty drunk.
" I need to visit the restroom" she said walking away.
She zigzag towards the bathroom ,her head spinning.
She met two guys at the door blocking her way.
" Excuse me " She said politely making to walk pass them but one of the guy held her wrist.
" You are a very fine lady. How about we play " The guy says while his partner laughs.
Isabella tried to withdraw her wrist but the guy was just too powerful.
Her head was spinning and her eyes were heavy. She cried out but the loud music silent her voice.
" Let her go " a man voice was heard from the entrance.
The guys were shocked when they say Hayden dark. They quickly released Isabella and ran off.
The frighten lady stare at the man before her but her dizziness reached it's limit.
" Thanks for helping me " She said before passing out on Hayden dark.
Hayden caught her swiftly before she fell.
He stare at her beautiful face and his beast growl loudly.
" Shut it Beasty. It will do no good if you come out now " Hayden dark scolded his beast.
To Hayden dark relieve his beast became calm.
Hayden stare at Isabella for a while, he had heard her cry from where he sat with cecil.
" Master are you okay ? " Kyle came running towards Hayden. He stop suddenly as he saw the beautiful lady in the arms of his master.
" I'm fine, she passed out " Hayden explained calmly.
He carried Isabella up as if she weigh nothing less than zero pounds and headed for the room he always use with cecil.
Hayden kicked the door open and lay Isabella down gently on the bed.
" What is going on here? Who is she ? " Cecil who has been angry that Hayden push her away to save an unknown lady asked from the doorway.
Hayden turn to her, his paranormal sense picked up the jealous aura around her.
He rolled his eyes.
" You don't need to be jealous. She is in need of help and i help her out "
Kyle appeared in the doorway beside Cecil. He stare at her with hidden contempt before walking to Hayden.
" Master i had a message from your father " he said aloud so Cecil could hear as well.
Hayden scoff as he noticed what Kyle is doing.
He knew his secretary never like Cecil from the get go. The young human, Kyle has said cecil is nothing but a prostitute." What is it about? " Hayden asked looking away.
" It is about the engagement, he said you are off duty for a week to get prepared "
Both Kyle and Hayden heard the gasp from Cecil.
" Who is getting engaged? " She asked in horror.
Kyle smile to himself before he turn to Cecil with a straight expression.
" I'm sorry this is coming a bit late, My master engagement date is fixed. You are invited "
Cecil glare at Kyle in response then at Hayden before she step out slamming the door noisily.
Hayden sighed " is that necessary? To provoke her? "
" I didn't provoke her, she would find out sooner or later. I don't really like her master, she isn't the right one for you "
" I know " Hayden murmur. He walk to the window " a week holiday without my credit card. Father just wanted to stress me "
Isabella woke up with a splitting headache. She look around the room slowly in surprise.She rolled out of the bed and walk barefooted to the window accross the room.Oh shit! This is still the club. How do i end up here? The door open slowly and Kyle walk in with Hayden.Isabella was surprised when she saw the two." You... The handsome womaniser from yesterday " She said pointing to Hayden who scoff, rolling his eyes.Womaniser my foot." If you are done speaking you can use the door " Hayden said. He floped on the bed lazily.Isabella watched the the movement fascinated." What happened yesterday ? " She asked Hayden who ignore her completely. Kyle saw the situation so he replied instead." My master saved you from the bad guys yesterday at the rest room. You are quite drunk and dizzy that you passed out then "" Oh ... Really? " Isabella asked embarrassed as The memories came back slowly. She look over at the handsome tall man who laid on the bed. " Thank you " She muttered.Hay
Hayden dark has been moody and silent ever since Isabella told him she hated the beast because they are evil.Evil my foot! She should know better.After they rented a big fishing boat. They sailed nicely on the clear water with some food.Hayden knows much about boat, he instructed Kyle and Isabella on what to do and the two obeys.After cruising around the ocean for two hours , the whole adventure start getting boring.Hayden start feeling sleepy." Here, i need to take a nap " He said to Kyle tiredly leaving the engine for his secretary to handle.He walk into the boat which was made of high - gloss wood and luxuriously upholstery couches and chairs. It had a nice wide kitchen and a bedroom. A bathroom with showers, small living room with a dinning area as well.Hayden walk into the bedroom to sleep. He hasn't been able to get any rest the previous night.He had been out helping the humans as he always has. Their wail and cries was the only thing he couldn't ignore.His eyelid dro
Kyle woke up to see Isabella sleeping beside him. He rose up sluggishly to the bathroom where he took his bath , he emerges minutes later with a wet hair and a clean clothes which they bought before their fishing trip." Good morning " He greeted Hayden who was outside." Hey " Hayden replied calmly. He stare at Kyle whose stomach grumble silently for a while before looking away." Master I'm sorry , i can't just help it " He tried to explain." It's fine. You don't need to feel sorry " Hayden cut in. His paranormal sense told him Kyle was hungry." We will arrived at beast port in about thirty minutes. Let's cook breakfast before then " He said to Kyle walking into the kitchen.Kyle followed immediately to help out.The bustle from the kitchen woke Isabella up. She get off bed and walk into the bathroom to shower and to wash her hair.She emerges a while later dressed in short and a soft aqua tunic. Then she dried her hair with a towel.When she entered the kitchen Hayden and Kyle we
Hayden stare at Isabella retreating back till she disappear into Joyce apartment." Where should we go master ? " Kyle asked from the driver seat. He look relaxed and in a good mood." Home, i need a good rest in my bed. Father gave me a week off so i should lazy around while i can " Hayden replied wearily.Kyle took a turn towards Hayden's domain. That was the name his house was called. Even before Hayden was made the leader of the beast family, he has been living Alone. Quietly in that very big castle- like house of his but after he was made the leader, he was given maids to care for him. Not that he wanted one but due to the traditions he can't refuse.He stare at Kyle who focus on driving for a while and the image of how he saved the young man popped into his mind.Hmm, humans!He breath slowly from the back.Kyle pull into Hayden's domain after a long drive. The tall gate swung open and he headed for the garage. He was tired and hungry but he knows better than to complain to H
Isabella stare at the man as confusion mounten inside her. She walk reluctantly towards her father when he signal her to come over." Wow, she surely is a great beauty " The man complimented staring lovingly at Isabella who manage to smile politely in response." Here, he is the father to your fiance " Martin said smiling. His glare at Isabella for a second before grinning brightly , indirectly telling her to be modest." It's nice to meet you " Isabella gave the man a fake smile." Same here , My son Hayden will arrive very soon " he laughed and i gulped.Hayden.The name echo in Isabella ears repeatedly. She swallowed hard, the mysterious lump in her throat refusing to go away . Just then everywhere was silent suddenly. Isabella, confused turn to the entrance where everyone's gaze at a man. She could hear the people whispering among themselves then slowly the man walk in.Isabella blinked in shock and confusion when she saw Hayden walk into the hall gracefully.Was he not the brok
Hayden watch silently as a man step out of a car and look around. He could feel his beast trying to come out but he hiss to keep it relaxed.This isn't the time and place.. Hayden thought sad quietly to Beasty.Isabella watched him staring intensely at Duvall who has arrived late to the annual event. She heard the beast in Hayden growl but surprisingly she isn't scared at all." That's Duvall of research foundation. His son is a renowned scientist. Why are you staring hard at him ? " She asked the man before her who didn't pay her any attention.Hayden walk into the hall without giving Isabella an answer, the latter clenched her teeth before following him." For goodness sake Hayden, this is actually the second time you ignore me tonight and i would not... " She start to protest as she followed Hayden behind but stop immediately when he turn to her with a straight face." Why does it bother you ? You said I'm a beast and nothing more " He replied grimly. He watch as her mouth twitch
Isabella held joyce hands as she comfort her best friend. The corpse of her mother was taken away and the small crowd has already dispersed leaving Joyce and Isabella alone in the dimly lighted room." Hey let's go to my place, i can't leave you like this " Isabella said to her friend softly. She was beginning to get scared about the whole thing.Joyce stood up from the wooden chair slowly and she walk out with Isabella to the car.Everywhere was eerily silent by then because it was very late in the wee hours. Isabella saw that she has missed four calls from her dad and seven from her step mother.She help joyce entered the car and she sat down as well waiting for the chauffeur to drive but then she noticed that the young man isn't behind the wheel.She look around frantically in search of him but she saw nothing." Where is he ? " Joyce asked looking around fearfully." I ... Don't know, i left him here a while ..." She stop speaking when she saw a silhouette of a man walking towards
Hayden tried but failed to sleep , staring into empty space with many thoughts on his mind he stood up and walk towards the bar that was besides his kitchen and sat down on the stool to pour himself a glass of wine.He sip his drink gingerly then suddenly he stopped halfway when he heard footsteps coming his way. He frown , confused. He has sent Jansen and Farrell home about two hours ago when it was confirmed that the three Beasts that go berserk has been caged down.The scent hit his nostril and he turn to see kyle rubbing his eye lazily. The latter stop when he saw Hayden." Master, you are not sleeping " he said walking to him. Kyle has been living with Hayden eversince he was assigned as his secretary. He wore a Black pajamas and his hair was disheveled from sleep." Where are you going? I hope you are not sleep walking " Hayden asked concerned. Kyle responded by smiling sheepishly, he knew his master care about him a lot." Not at all " he look over to Hayden who pays him no mo
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
