Sebastian sat on the bed with Adia still wrapped in his hands. The only difference now was that she was asleep and making sniffling sounds that sounded like pains to his ears.He's been sitting here for more than thirty minutes now and hasn't moved an inch, he didn't want to wake her up, so he'll just wait patiently till she's awake.Sebastian couldn't fathom why he was doing this to her and acting so passionate to her, maybe he's because she's suffered too much because of him and he pitied her, or is it because she has found a special place in his heart, because no matter how much he tries to push her away and act cold to her, she just seems to be melting him softly, and out of nowhere he treats her like an egg, he just hoped it should not be the latter, he's going to let her go once she delivers, she deserves better than this.A knock came through ad he lifted his head up answering the call,"Who?" He asked,"Arion, matters arising" "Be out in five," he replied standing on his feet
"Sebastian I need to talk to you" Adia announced immediately she came down from the stairs to the dining room, where Sebastian was having a cup of coffee."What's it that you wanna talk about?" He asked, dropping the cup silently and elegantly on the table."Where's Mickelson?" Adia asked without beating around the bush, right now she's so pissed, she confided in Monica who told her everything, Mickelson was not having any vacation, Sebastian locked him up,not only that he chopped off the fingers of all his employees claiming they let her get into trouble."Having a nice vacation" came his usual reply."Oh please don't lie to me I know what you did already" Adia snapped angrily."If you know already, then why go about asking pointless questions?" He asked picking up his cup of coffee as he took sips from it.Adia swallowed hard, so as to not to get more angry at him, he looked so unfazed, as if it didn't bother him at all."Let him out" Adia demanded as Sebastian turned to face her, h
Getting into his study room alongside Adia, Sebastian walked to a corner with shelves aligning it,"I'm not going to read books Sebastian," Adia stated, staring at the books lying on the shelves. She was sure they were books related to vampires because they looked so ancient."Trust me you can't even read them, these books are older than your ancestors, now stop talking" he said softly , his ear was really itching him now, ever since Adia came in he was now talking more than usual.Going over to a particular shelf he pulled out a book, as it made a cracked noise which sounded very displeasing to Adia. To her dismay a secret passage came to view as both shelves parted revealing a passage which was lit up by a golden light, which Adia was sure was from a fire torch."You've gotta be kidding me!!, Mickelson has been under this roof the whole time!!!" She exclaimed in horror, so he's been hiding Mickelson in the house all this time and no one even knew about it, how could he be so cocky?
Sebastian dropped Adia gently on the ground as they stopped in front of a cell, rounded by iron bars, the strong stench of rusty iron present in the air."What's this place?" Adia asked, looking into the cell as she caught sight something bound in chains, from her level of experience, the thing had a silhouette of a human and is definitely a human being, but can't be a human, because whatever that was,look pale and dead, like a corpse and that's when it occurred to her that she was living with vampires and that thing might actually be Mickelson, since Arion mentioned that Sebastian had left him dessicated." It's Mickelson," he answered, opening the cell, which made a loud creaking ear deafening sound.Walking into the cell Adia stood beside Sebastian scared at the sight before, she really felt like throwing her lungs up, not only did the place stink of rusted iron, it was also damn, with drop of water falling at some places, the sight of Mickelson didn't help either, it looked as if
"How much more blood does he need?" Adia asked as she watched Mickelson hungrily drinking from a blood bag.She was so surprised at how he recovered so quickly just by taking a sip, his skin was already coming back to normal, to its original color and one wouldn't even believe he was looking like a corpse two minutes ago."As much as he can get '' Arion answered, throwing another blood bag to Mickelson who sat on the floor as he returned to his original state.Mickelson looked up as his red eyes traveled to Adia who was standing close to Sebastian as he fixed his gaze on her."Why are his eyes so red?" Adia asked, whispering to Sebastian as she held his arms."Cause he's still in his vampire state, he's still recovering" Sebastian explained as Adia nodded.Mickelson then moved his eyes to Sebastian, he suddenly sprang up from the floor as he rushed to where Sebastian and Adia stood."Haaa!!" Adia yelled in fear as Mickelson charged at the direction they stood,Is he coming for his rev
Adia walked into Sebastian's room after she knocked on the door, for a few minutes and got no response, walking inside the cold room she called his name out."Sebastian, Sebastian" she called but it looked as if he was not in there or he was not in the room."I'll check his study" Adia mumbled to herself, making her way out, as she headed to his study room, it was already past nine and almost everyone was already in their rooms, she was literally the only one still walking about."Sebastian" she called out walking into the study, but it looked empty too. Adia walked around the neatly arranged study room, but there was not even a trace of him anywhere."Maybe he has something to take care of, I'll see him tomorrow" she reasoned heading for the door."Why are you going around shouting my name, by this time of the night?" A dry raspy voice asked as Adia yelped in shock."Haaa" she screamed loudly, turning around in an instant, but she didn't see Sebastian, because she was sure it's his v
Sebastian's jaw worked as he stood,"Yes" came his blunt reply"And I'd love it if you don't speak about her anymore" he started walking away."Ok, I'm sorry" Adia apologized not wanting to ruin the good mood, cause he might just flare up at her, though his reply really hit her deep, she just decided not to get angry about it.Sebastian led her into the garden to a place where a wooden chair stood, "What were you doing here all along?" Adia asked, sitting comfortably on the chair just like he said it was really chilly outside."Receiving fresh air" came his reply as he sat beside her, "With cigarettes and alcohol" Adia added, seeing a bottle of tequila, a pack of cigarettes and a bottle beside her."Yes, pass me that" he said as Adia gave everything to him."I would have loved to join you, but I'm pregnant and can't take alcohol" she said watching him fill the cup with alcohol as he gulped down the contents in the cup, repeating the same thing." I'd really love to have something to
"What party?" Adia asked confused,"I can't believe you forgot about that.." he started smacking his lips." Forgot about what?" She asked, still confused, because she doesn't remember any party she has to attend." So you forgot all about the bet you had with Lana Rhoades, you had a deal with her to convince me to come to a party with you" he reminded." Oh my gosh, oh my gosh" Adia gasped, she totally forgot about all that, after everything that happened between her and Kate, that totally escaped her." Geez, I totally forgot about that, when's the party and wait how did you even know about that?, I don't even remember asking you" Adia asked because Laura told her that he has never attended the party, so she's been planning on how to convince him to come with her, but she never even had the chance." Because I'm a vampire, " he drawled, he can't even count how many times he has reminded her of that."So you do hear our conversation?" She said pointing accusingly at him."If I want t
