Xandra was sitting on the floor dusting the back of the sofa and Darby walked to the kitchen as he poured himself a glass of water and before going in his room, he left the glass on the kitchen counter.
He walked upstairs in his room while Xandra stood up walking to the kitchen counter.
Xandra walked towards it and held the glass in her hand, her brows knitted in confusion.
"What the hell..." she muttered under her breath as she took the glass to the sink and washed it again, carefully placing it back to the cabinet.
She continued dusting the living room when she heard the noise of someone opening the door of the wardrobe.
As the music was slow she was sure that she heard a thud. Removing the earplugs off her ears she took slow baby steps towards the stairs.
Xandra was extra careful while walking passed by the sofas when her feet got bumped into a small table and it caused a sound.
Darby who was just in his bathrobe heard the sound, h
He walked to his wardrobe and selected his t-shirt and briefs for her.Darby made her wore the duvet and put his hands under it, removing her pants and made her wore the briefs.He, then removed her shirt and the bra as he stared at it for a minute.When she was finally dressed he said, "Xandra, bite it gently. I want to check the temperature..." she opened her eyes weakly and keep the thermometer in her mouth.He brought the hairdryer and dried her hair while she kept on laying.After that, he checked her temperature which was raised so he put the wet handkerchief in her forehead.Darby wasn't expecting this.Now that she is sick, he's the only one who can help her.And not to forget he is the reason for her condition."Xandra, did you eat anything?" he asked then paused recalling the scene where she asked to make dinner because she was hungry."Wait... a second, the doorbell rang..." he who was kneeling down bes
He opened the tap of the shower when both of them started getting wet.Xandra let out a very low gasp as the cold water hit her hot body.They were just an inch apart as his breath feels intoxicating and his scent falls over her, like the remnants of magic spells cast only for seduction.Her mind starts seeking out naughtier places and she closes her eyes with his hands still gliding across her naked legs and her breaths were high.The ties on her stomach and the goosebumps on her skin was the proof that she was new to all this."Stop it..." she said in a low voice as she shrugged his hand.He cleared his throat and took a step back.Xandra sighed and quietly stood in the shower when Darby took a fistful of shampoo, the floor became a little slippery and Xandra tried to move when she was about to slip until his strong hands caught her waist.It happened very quickly that she just blinked and he saved her."How did you...
Reaching to the office, Alexandra and Rocco took the elevator up to the cabin of the boss."You are a very talented girl..." Rocco chuckled lightly when Xandra was also laughing as she opened the door of the cabin and both of them heard the stern voice of the boss."Never on time, Ms Katz..." his attention was focused on the laptop as his head was buried on it, he didn't realise a figure was with her, too."I'm sorry, sir," her tone low made him immediately answer, "Little do I know, Ms Katz. My company do not hire people to come late.""Dude, don't be so harsh on her," Rocco said when Darby raised his head just to see his best friend stood there with the assistant."What are you doing here?" he asked with a raised brow and Rocco answered, "I give my girlfriend a lift..." hearing this, both Alexandra and Darby gawked at him blankly."Dude, relax..." he walked closer chuckling when he continued, "I was just kidding.""Good because I do
Darby had just put the phone on the table when he started his debate."Hilda, arrange an appropriate dress for Ms Katz."Alexandra was sitting calmly while Hilda batted her eyelashes blankly.Darby Rothschilds never asked for a dress of a girl.And some normal kind of assistant... he would never."I'm quite comfortable in this dress though," Xandra answered crossing one of her legs onto another.From the left side, her cream coloured thigh was in the limelight which made Darby clear his throat immediately."On it, sir..." Hilda responded assuringly when got a gesture from the boss.Xandra held the magazine in her hand as she began reading it.Darby was gawking at her... how comfortably she was sitting wearing such a short dress."Ms Katz, this is your first and last warning. I don't want to see you in such kind of inappropriate attire," he stated impassively."Sir, you know it was an accident... you were pr
In the midst of the night, silver of the moonlight spilt on two figures.Not quite the hot dark of the embers, but a soft, hopeful dark."Enough with the storm, now, Althea," came the deep voice of a male."I heard you are going to a gala, master," she spoke, voice filled with naughtiness.He didn't choose to answer her as she continued, "When are you letting me come with any of these parties... where there are actually people."Her eyes were sparkling, twinkling violet eyes."It's not my party, Althea," he simply answered, his hand slid back to the pocket of his pant."So, arrange one... it's not a hard job for a person like you to arrange a business party," her words made him a nod once."After all, you are Darby Rothschilds... people fear of you," her words were taunting, a hint of a chuckle in her tone."You don't get to call me by my name, Althea. Just master..." he said in hushed tones."What have you
"Darby Rothschilds..." the man let out a low chuckle, more of it was a scoff."Pyke King..." his smile was disarming.Darby passed by Xandra to shake hands with the man when she had few moments to admire his back, round backside, perfectly encased in tailored charcoal grey trousers.Darby then moved back to Xandra as his hand goes wrapped around her delicate waist and he spoke, "She can't dance with anyone around me present here.""Why? Darby Rothschilds, I can't see the ring in her finger..." Pyke raised a brow and Xandra just looked at her boss, stunned."She is my assistant... a worker. And I respect all of my workers," his words were giving him a warning... a warning to stay away from the girl."Well, Mr Rothschilds, she is your worker in office... she has a personal life too."Darby's piercing gaze swept over her face when he said, "But she is not comfortable. Aren't you, Alexandra?""Alexandra..." Pyke rubbed his chin as
Beyond the glass french doors of the modern-day cabin, soft city lights faux glowed through a pair of billowing silk curtains.Behind the door's glass insets, a majestic view of the skyline appeared with startling beauty.There wasn't a cloud in the star-speckled sky. Rows of towering sky-scrapers stretched above him, their windows alight from within.A half-moon hovered at the fringes of the luminous city-scape, where the red blinking lights of distance radio towers twinkling in the night.An industrial-based smog of pollution coated the whole area, acting as a milky filter.The fog softened the
She had a kind of understated beauty, perhaps it was because she was so disarmingly unaware of her prettiness.Her white skin was perfectly flawless, she never she used face masks or expensive products, that really wasn't her character. She was all about simplicity, making things easy, helping those around her to relax and be happy with what they have. Perhaps that is why her skin glowed so, it was her inner beauty that lit her eyes and softened her features. When she smiled and laughed you couldn't help but smile along too, even if it was just on the inside. To be in her company was to feel that you too were someone, that you had been warmed in summer rays regardless of the season.Alexandra from a bit far was looking at her, smiling.She was talking to the people as if she knew them already.But the truth was... It was her nature.It just reminded her of her mother... She was same as this woman was.She is lucky to have the woman who resem
They reached to the villa when Alexandra was sitting on the sofa.All of them so tired. "I can't believe that I am a human again!" Pyke was beyond happy."Let me tell this to my dad," he said happily as he fished out the phone from his pocket and walked away."What now?" Katrina asked and Alexandra sighed closing her eyes, leaning back on the sofa.Darby and Katrina gestured to each other and he finally agreed, clearing his throat."Alexandra..." he spoke carefully."Hmm..." she hummed, eyes still closed."At least open your eyes!" Katrina said in a high pitched tone.Alexandra quickly opened her eyes watching Darby on his knees."Now that everything is over...we are back together. Will you marry me?"She jumped off the sofa and couldn't contain her excitement.She immediately said yes to the handsome hunk as she hopped on his arms."Careful! I'm not as strong as before..." he chuckled lightly hugging her back."
"Make necessary preparations for tonight, Brahms."Agnes ordered her only mouse servant who gave s positive nod.Darby was locked up in a room...sitting on his comfortable king-size bed, staring at the only picture he has been hiding in his chest, under the shirt.He stood up to walk out of his room so that he could talk to her.On his way, he met Brahms...stopping him he asked, "Where is Agnes?""She is performing witchcraft," Brahms told him."Which craft?" Darby asked as his brows furrowed in a frown.Sitting in a dark room with only the light coming from the flames of the candles, Agnes performed black magic.She was aware of what she was doing or what consequences she has to assume later.With her eyes shut close and mouth mumbling endlessly, Agnes chanted some old verses.When, at last, she was done...she held the knife in her hand and let out a smirk.When Brahms made all the arrangements, he informed the witch."Alr
"If your name is in the ancient book and you know where the gemstone is...then you can get it." While Althea was speaking, Katrina and Alexandra have their minds running to different thoughts."Let me visit Pyke," said Alexandra."But what about the matter of you being dead?" Lidia who was sipping the fresh blood holding a glass in her hand."Nobody even remembers this..." Althea clicked her tongue.Pyke was on his way to go home when he had Alexandra calling.They planned to meet at the new villa of Darby...and after fifteen minutes the handsome dhampir arrived."Is everything alright?" he asked unaware."I am going Brasov," Alexandra declared making him astonished."What?" he blurted out."Brasov? But why?" "Your mother took my fiance to Brasov," mentioned Alexandra."You are going with me."Pyke had no interest in meeting his mother, Agnes. He knew she doesn't love him, neither does he...so it was pointless
"They left!""Left where?""Azazel said they left for Brasov," Katrina carefully mentioned.Alexandra was getting impatient. This was it. Agnes deliberately took Darby with him. She wants both of them to be parted."KK, please arrange a trip for me to Brasov," Alexandra mentioned hastily."Alexandra...""Katrina, please!" Alexandra interrupted sternly.She, for the first time, had called her by full name.Alexandra never called her Katrina but KK.She who just parted her lips to speak swallowed back the words and gave a nod as she walked away."Are you certain about going, Brasov?" Althea asked when Alexandra just glanced at her.Pursing her lips on a thin line she kept her mouth shut.Althea stood up to walk to Katrina and asked, "Are you really sending her Brasov?""I am also going with her," replied Katrina."But, Katrina. You do know that her..." Althea was being interfered immediately by Katrina, "Yes,
Agnes and Darby reached to a different city.It was familiar...coming back to the land they lived was kind of refreshing all sorts of bittersweet memories.They were in Brasov, Transylvania. The land where it all started and the land where it all is going to end.He went back to where it happened. He wanted to take away the power of the painful memory to hurt, prove to himself that he could choose to move on. So he took the time to remember the one he loves the most, his lover, they made a great memory, a happy one. Now when his brain goes back there he diverts it only to the good memory, the healing one. It's as if he wrote a good story over the top of a bad story, and in time the ink of the bad story fades away until only the good one remains."What are you planning, Agnes?" he asked in hushed tones."A witch never tells her plans to ordinary beings," were her words.A mouse squeaked trotting towards Agnes when she crouched down to pick him.
"Vampire.""A word so small yet full of fabrication. But in reality, its a tale between the chosen ones.""Now, Darby Rothschilds...show me your talent."Agnes was sitting in a throne-like chair... Darby was standing with a bunch of humans.He has to kill each one of them...when not...he does know the consequences.Agnes walked to a person and held his wrist as she cut it and the blood started streaming from it.The man hissed in pain...face terrified.Alt
"290 people means...she accepted the killings.""It's good news!" Alexandra added delightfully."Alexandra, 290 people...we are talking about 290 alive people!" Katrina said unbelievably."Maybe we should find people who are already dying...on their death beds...people who are suffering," said Lidia."We don't have much time for all this.""What if we survey the NGO's and see if old people who are sick and have no treatment for it?" Alexandra gave an idea.Katrina has to handle it...but with who?
"Keep quiet! Hush up!" Agnes said abruptly."My darlings," she said, at last, "Are you sure you don't mind being a mouse for the rest of your life?"The children became quiet at once.Some of them silently sobbing in the cage."You know...a superhero might be coming to save all of you.""Who was it? Who's your favourite superhero?" she asked walking around the cage.It was been put on the floor...as Darby started his work."Who wants candy?" she asked as t
"What does she mean she wants Darby to herself?" Alexandra was pacing back and forth, fidgety all over her face."Relax...its nothing," Darby tried to assure her.Katrina was sitting on the sofa chair, lost in thinking.Lidia was focused on drinking fresh blood.Althea kept quiet...just listening to them.Katrina's eyes fell on her...a sudden rage of anger rushed down her veins.She stood up to choke her throat and Althea suffered."Leave her!" Darby rushe
