Elly gazed down at baby Mario in his cradle, admiring his cuteness and feeling thankful that he came into his life. It has already been days and she could feel that she had fallen deeply in love with him. She lifted her gaze and smiled at Greg who was seated on an armchair in front of her outside the courtyard. She had also fallen in love with Greg but decided to keep it to herself as she knew that he had just recently lost his wife. She would give him time and would wait no matter how long it would take. She had promised in her heart beside, they are already living like a couple. At least anyone looking could think that they were a married couple who had a baby too.Greg flashed her a smile too, feeling thankful for the way she had been taking care of them, especially Mario whom he wondered what he would have done if not for Elly.His wounds have been healed but have not healed without leaving a scar in his right leg. “You are still good looking the way you are, you do not have to
“I do not want to continue living like this,” Monalisa suddenly broke down, allowing the tears she had been fighting not to fall from her eyes to flow freely.Doctor Clara slowly moved to the bed where Monalisa was after peering at her for a while to console her, knowing how frustrating it is to be Hamilton’s prisoner.Felicia peered at her too but did not care about her tears. She was thinking about how she is going to survive in Viper city and would not want Monalisa to ruin her plan or take her place. She hates it when Hamilton commanded that she and Clara look after Monalisa.“Hush now, Monalisa, you have to stop wishing for death and take this as a sign that your son wants you to live.” Clara said, patting her back.Monalisa shook her head sideways in disagreement with what Clara said, “how can my son want me to live like this, he must be lonely without me?” Monalisa said tearfully, covering her face with her palms and crying into them. She wished once again that she could turn
“Thanks,” Monalisa replied and then took off.Felicia smiled wickedly to herself as she knew that Monalisa was going to be caught. “I want to see how you would escape death this time Monalisa,” she said inwardly as she knew that trying to escape from viper city is a grave crime that meant immediate death.Hamilton tilt his head backwards as he perceived a familiar scent. “Monalisa.” He muttered as he recognized her scent even though he has not seen her.“What is she doing out here?” He asked again peering in the direction of her scent as she approached him.“Is she trying to run away?” Hamilton asked inwardly again as he saw her walking speedily in his direction. “She is definitely trying to run away from me,” he said inwardly again, taking note of her movement.He groaned deeply and quickly moved swiftly to stand in front of her, taking her by surprise.Monalisa paused abruptly, her feet suddenly stuck to the ground as she saw Hamilton standing in front of her. “How come he is here i
“Do not fight it Monalisa,” Hamilton told her in a near husk tone as he continued to fight his urge to have her blood and hoping that her body would not reject him.He has not tried to turn anyone into a vampire before, Monalisa would be his first and he knew that her body can either reject or accept to be turned. He did not think it through before to find out if her body would accept him before biting her because of his rage.Monalisa suddenly fell onto the ground, her whole body quivering frantically like someone who is convulsing.“You better not die on me, Monalisa,” Hamilton muttered, squatting beside Monalisa and waiting impatiently for the result of his action.“What have you done to me?” Monalisa muttered when her quivering body slowed down a bit, her gaze on Hamilton who was squatting beside her.Hamilton let out a wicked grin as he saw that her body was responding positively to the bite. “Now you are going to live by my side for as long as I want.” Hamilton said inwardly, th
Hamilton quickly bent over to see if she was alright, recalling how he knocked her off the man’s body but heaved a sigh of relief after she saw her conscious. He smiled viciously and turned to pick up the slave man he had finished off.Monalisa followed him with her gaze and immediately started trembling after she saw the state the slave man was in. “I killed him,” she muttered, causing Hamilton, who had just picked up the slave man from the floor to pause and turn his gaze to her.“I killed him,” Monalisa muttered again, tears suddenly filled her eyes as she regained consciousness, recalling too what had happened and how she had fed on the man’s blood.Hamilton let out a wicked grin as he peered down on her, he knew that she was going to feel this way both didn’t know that it was going to be this soon.“I see that you have regained consciousness,” Hamilton told her mockingly, smiling wickedly from the corner of his lips.Monalisa sniffed immediately after she saw Hamilton’s smile, he
“How about your plan, are you still going to do it?” Liam asked, peering at Chico after the others left the room. He was becoming tired of Hamilton’s rule for the same reasons, especially not having enough blood. He felt angered by the lifeless man’s body that Hamilton brought in, hating that he would continue to drink the blood of the slaves whenever he wanted and not caring about them. He would not even let them have their own kill.“I want to do it, Liam, but I have not seen the means to achieve my plans.” Chico told him, folding his palms into fists as his heart swelled with anger. “I need to get stronger, Liam, but how can I do that when I do not have access to blood?” Chico asked, peering into Liam’s eyes after he raised his brows at him, guessing what he meant.“So what do you intend to do about it?” Liam asked him calmly, resolving within him to follow whatever his plans would be.Chico lifted his brows at him, guessing what he meant, “I think I will have to secretly hunt for
Monalisa’s brows lifted in wonder as she saw so many people gathered in the place she knew as the arena. She did not know that Hamilton had so many people living in viper city and all under his control. She could tell just by looking, those who are slaves and those who are vampires like him. “There are so many vampires here,” she said inwardly, turning her gaze around the arena and slowly her gaze rested on Doctor Clara who was trying to get her attention with her gaze as well.Doctor Clara’s heart sank into her belly as soon as she saw Monalisa with Hamilton walk into the arena, wondering what this meeting was about especially since she knew that whomever was brought here was executed. She gestured with her eyes at Monalisa hoping she could get a clue of what's going on from her but Monalisa turned her gaze away to Hamilton as she was not sure what was going on and she didn't feel good either.“Now listen up everyone, I am going to make this brief,” Hamilton said in an authoritative
Clara unconsciously clapped her palms against her lips, shocked and terrified for Monalisa as she saw her desperation to kill herself. “Stop it Monalisa, this isn’t working,” Clara cried out, gesturing for her to stop as her wounds kept closing up after she stabbed herself.“No Clara, I cannot live like this,” Monalisa cried, still stabbing herself even though it wasn’t working.“Stop it Monalisa, it's not working, can’t you see, killing yourself is not working,” Clara cried, gesturing with her hands for her to see how her wounds still closed up even after she stabbed herself.Monalisa suddenly stopped stabbing herself with the broken piece of mirror, her hands trembling, tears falling from her eyes.“What am I supposed to do Clara?” She muttered, lifting her face to Clara who was also crying as she felt so much pity for her. Clara’s lips parted slightly as she wanted to say something to try and comfort Monalisa but couldn’t find the right words to say at the moment.Monalisa lowere
