Lucy I still can't understand what just happened few hours ago. I've been sitting in a random bar, too afraid to go home because I keep wondering; what if he comes back to finish what he started? He reminded me so much of him. Mr. Baron said he wasn't himself as if I couldn't tell already by the color of his eyes. His coffee brown eyes turned golden. "Madam, we are about to close for the day" I blinked up at the waiter "please what is the time?" He pointed towards the wall clock "its five minutes past eleven" I didn't even realize that it is this late already. I paid for my drink and walked out. Standing outside the silent street, I realized that I feel safer here than I would at home. I can't help but think that Cardin or whatever the hell that was will come back to finish what he started. "It isn't safe to stand here alone in the middle of the night" I startled at the sound of that voice. I turned and found the same waiter standing close to me. Runn
Cardin I know you guys will be wondering why I didn't just compel her to forget, why I had to tell her that I want to first. Well I don't have the answer to quench your curiosity. I am just as confused as you are yourself. "Did you do it?" I rubbed my finger round the edge of my glass. "You didn't right? You didn't compel her to forget right?" "You seem to have the answer to your own question Baron, why do you choose to torture me with your voice?" "Why didn't you do it?" He snapped "do I need to remind you of the consequences of her knowing about our existence? Why are you and Ash hell bent on removing the girl from the face of this earth huh?" "She isn't aware of what I really am, she knows there is a story behind it but me being a vampire isn't definitely her trail of thought" "That still doesn't explain why you didn't do it" I dropped the glass on the table "I don't have the answer to that question, I guess I couldn't just do it" Baron
Cardin Standing across the street, I watched her from her open window. I just wanted to know if she is doing okay, or that was what I convinced myself that I am doing here. She isn't aware of the dangers lurking in the shadows. To her, I am the greatest danger and judging from what transpired between the both of us yesterday; I don't blame her for thinking so. I saw her full figure through the dim light in her room. I kept staring at her figure until she began to pull her dress. First she pulled down her short, but I wasn't able to see anything considering the fact that she was sitting down. She then lifted her hands probably to pull the shirt and I stood, eagerly waiting and watching. Call me a pervert, I don't care. What you know doesn't hurt right? She isn't aware that I'm watching her so she can't feel annoyed or ashamed or better still violated. "You know you look like a pervert right now. Instead of standing here and spying on her, why not just seduce her instead?" My now fu
Lucy I've only seen this kind of places in a movie or a television program. I can't believe I'm standing in such a place right now. "Don't go anywhere without me. If you want to use the restroom let me know, don't take any drink offer from anybody. Am I clear?" I nodded at Baron but he didn't seem satisfied with my response. For some reason unknown to me, he looks agitated. "I need to hear you say it Lucy" "I won't go anywhere without you or use the restroom or accept drink offers from anyone" Satisfied with my answer, he took my hand into his and we walked into the reception hall. We missed the church wedding which is surprising because I didn't take Baron to be the kind of person to miss any part of an event.When we entered the hall, Baron took two drinks from a waitress and he offered me one. "Let this be the only drink you will take here" I was about to tell him that telling me isn't necessary since I already know that I have low tolerance when it comes to alcohol and I don
Cardin I dragged Lucy along with me and I heard her stumble a few times with few curses leaving her lips anytime she tries to fall. I also noticed Baron and Ashley behind me but I didn't acknowledge them, not until Ashley opened that big mouth of hers. "It is always about her... It is always about this goddamn human" Lucy stopped at the sound of Ashley voice but I pulled her again. She roughly pulled her hand away from mine and took a step towards Ashley. "I don't know what your problem is but you call me by my name. My name is Lucy, don't fucking refer to me as human as if I hold no relevance" Ashley scoffed "how about you mind how you talk to me human... Don't forget I am still your boss" "Boss my ass. Just in case Cardin here failed to tell you, I quit. So you better mind how you deal with me because right now, I have nothing to lose" Ashley smiled at her and that was when I noticed that she is actually enjoying the word exchange with Lucy and if it should continue, she is goi
Cardin I took her to my house instead of her shitty apartment. I want to be around when she wakes up because I know she will remember what she saw and freak out, I know she will have questions and I want to be around to give her twisted answers. My house or the Velvet's Villa just as the press likes to call it consists of five gigantic buildings with mine in the middle. I occupy one building, Baron and Ashley occupies one building, then the rest of the building is occupied by my men. The Bing sound indicated that the chicken is ready so I brought it out and dropped it in the dining room. Staring at the food on the table, it was clearly obvious that it's too much for just two persons. I don't know what prompted me to cook this much, maybe it's because I know that someone who actually needs food to survive is sleeping upstairs or maybe I was excited to have her in my bed and in my clothes. I checked the time using the wall clock on the wall and discovered that Baron have been gone f
Lucy I spent the night at Cardin's place, not because I wanted to, but because he refused to drive me home neither did he allow me to get a cab. I didn't want to argue with him knowing the situation of things with Baron and his sister. Whining that he takes me home will be a bitchy move on my part and that's the last thing I want to be. A bitch. Rolling to the other side, I discovered that I slept in his room. With the way this side of the bed lacks any warmth, it proved that I spent the night here alone. Checking the time, I realized that it's past nine in the morning. I stretched my lazy bones as I got off the bed. I took a shower using Cardin's body wash and an extra toothbrush for my teeth. Picking my clothes from yesterday's party, I wore it despite the fact that it is very long and uncomfortable to walk in. I walked downstairs and found Cardin in the living room looking all fresh and showered."Good morning Lucy, how was your night?" He questioned without even raising his head
Cardin My leg slammed my brakes when I heard her loud cry. I left my car in the middle of the road and ran with my full speed to her house, met the door ajar so I rushed in. I stopped abruptly when I saw Lucy crying with her eye tightly closed shut. Looking around her sitting room, I saw blood all over the place. Close to the doorway is a girl who I think is her roommate lying on the floor in her own blood. I didn't bother to check if she's alive or dead, my main priority was to get Lucy out of this blood stinking place. I walked close to her and touched her slightly but she jumped in fright. "Hey... It's me... Cardin. I need you to look at me. Focus on me." I coaxed her with a gentle and soft voice. She slowly opened her eyes. She tried to look around but I held her jaw and fixed her eyes on mine. "I need you to go with my men to my house. I promise to take care of this" "I...don't...think...she's...breathing" she stammered "Did you touch her?" Her eyes darted round my face so
Two years later I watched Jimmy play around the garden with Ashley. It's very surprising how she grew fond of him. Just two years ago, I had a fight with Cardin about adopting him, I fight which I obviously won. I ruined his life by being the main reason why his parents died, the evidence of my recklessness marred his skin although his vampire trait tried healing him up, but yet not everything got wiped off.As for Petrov, I don't really know what Cardin did to him. I never asked, but he came home countless nights with blood stained shirt.Pedro walked over to Ashley and handed her glass. Finally, I think she's moving on. Although she's not totally over Cardin because she still bitches at me at whatever opportunity she gets, but at least she's giving Pedro a chance."Hey," Cardin called, his hands circling my waist from behind "I've been looking for you" he kissed my neck before raising his head to stare at Jimmy. "He looks all grown."I giggled at him. Ever since Jimmy got signed ov
Lucy Did I get run over by a vehicle or what? Why does my head hurt so badly? I racked my brain to remember what really happened, that was when it came flowing back. That bastard snapped my back just to shut me up.I opened my eyes, expecting to see the now familiar leaking roof, but instead of the roof, I saw another familiar one, one that I find comfort in. I sat upright massaging my temple due to the headache. Looking down to my clothing, I discovered that I was wearing something neat and my body looks scrubbed.I went down in search of the other occupant of this house who happens to be my husband. I opened the door to an empty hallway, not that I'm surprised. Cardin made it clear that none of the guards should wonder upstairs. According to him, he doesn't want them hearing my moans, not even by mistake. He believes that sound was created just for him and him alone.Walking down the stairs, I followed the whisper of voices to the kitchen, there I met Baron, Cardin and Ashley. I thi
Lucy Staying in the dark brought back feelings that are somewhat familiar, when I close my eyes, I see images that make me wonder if I'm the character of my imaginations? Or dreams? I can't even tell what's real and what's not.The only face I see is that of the young man who brings me a glass of blood once a day for my daily sustainance. Most times, I see the face of Tornado staring back at me then I'm overcame by guilt, guilt over the fact that I led him to his death, not to mention Jimmy and his parents.The asshole who took me is yet to make an appearance after my short conversation with Cardin, most times, I think he has forgotten he left someone down here.The sound of the groaning door brought me back to the present. Turning over to the other side, I opened my eyes and blinked rapidly to clear my blurry eyesight. When I saw who was standing at the door, I shot to my feet."My deepest apologies for my inability to visit all these while, I've been busy with other things that isn'
Cardin We got to Alberto's house by nightfall, the Bentley parked outside his gate, but not within eye sight. Baron eyed the security men at the gate, his face folding in a frown. "How do you intend to pass through these securities?"I ignored him because I already have it covered. I know their focus will be on the other black SUV that my men deliberately parked outside the gate, making sure to make the car so obvious which will give Vincent and Sebastian time to handle the two men that are guarding the back gate."We are clear boss" Vincent voice filled my ear."We are entering through the back door." I informed Baron who is still eyeing the security men through the tinted glass. "Klaus? Is the security system disabled?""Yes boss."I opened the door and walked towards the back gate, my eyes flickering briefly to the black SUV at the front gate. They are to drive away the moment we enter the house without any trouble but if things should go south, they are free to use the werewolf ba
Cardin Three days and still no news on my wife. Despite all we did, we always ended up at a dead end and I am near frustration.Standing on the terrace, I watched Baron and Alberto deep in conversation. Merissa kept passing glances at me, but I made no move in acknowledging it. Baron shook hands with Alberto as he handed him the files which means the deal is done.I'm suppose to be happy, having added to my wealth, but the one and only person whom I want to celebrate with isn't here with me. Throwing the cigar into the ash tray, I walked back into the house.Baron met me at the bar, he dropped the file from Alberto on the table. "The deal is done. Merissa didn't want to go, it seems she has developed likeness for this place."I know what he's trying to do, but honestly it isn't working. "We are striking Sicily tomorrow. Let the men know so they can get ready.""I don't think attacking his territory while he still has Lucy in his possession is the right decision. Any decision that you
Cardin Something feels off. You know that feeling of restlessness, the feeling you get when things go wrong, that's the feeling I'm getting right now. "Are you okay?" Baron asked me as he dropped the files he was holding. "If this is about the wine distribution, I'm sure it will go well."This negative feeling isn't about money or fame, it's something closer to the heart. "Call Tornado, tell him to turn the car around and bring my wife back home."Baron grinned at me "You miss her already?""I'm ain't in the mood for jokes Baron, call Tornado and tell him to bring my wife the fuck home. Something is about to go wrong, I can feel it and I want her around me when shit hits the rock."Baron must have noticed how serious I am because he fished his phone out from his pocket and started dialing Tornado's number. I tried focusing on file before me, but that proved diffcult, especially when Baron's call was being redirected to Tornado's voicemail. "Why isn't he picking his call?" I asked ou
Lucy Two days later, and I'm yet to receive any news from Merissa. With her limited time here, I lost hope of finding Jimmy through her help. It took a lot of self restraint not to go meet her myself for any update, it will only make me come out as desperate which is an impression I do not ever want to make.I dipped my head under water for few minutes, before resurfacing again. I did it the second time but this time, when I resurfaced, I saw Merissa standing at the edge of the pool. If Cardin should see her standing there, he'll snap her head off her neck without even bothering to find out what she's really doing here. To Cardin, she's just a carrier of negative vibes.I swam towards the edge of the pool to meet her. "Cardin wouldn't appreciate seeing you anywhere around me, so what are you doing here?""I know he won't like me being around you, which is why I'm going to make this brief." She handed me a piece of paper "that's his address, if you want to meet him, you should go there
LucyTen days of keeping my eyes on the streets of New York everyday as I go to work and return from work, but I'm yet to find who I'm looking for. I was able to get his name from the guy at that supermarket he tried to steal from. According to him, Jimmy is a little boy who runs errands for people around here and also pick people's pocket, but nobody knows where he lives. At least none he knows of. I ended up taking a picture of Jimmy which was captured by the supermarket's CCTV.Tornado stopped the car just outside the front porch, I got down, then he drove away to park the car properly. I checked the time on my wrist watch to be sure if Cardin will be home or not. When it read ten minutes to ten, I knew for sure that he isn't home yet."You're back early sugar tits" Baron called out from the balcony which startled me."Is Cardin home yet?""Nope, he has a quick errand that he has to run, but he will be home pretty fast"I almost pouted my lips, but I restrained myself. I'm not a fiv
Cardin I was thankful that there are some matters that I left unattended which I'll be able to use to teach Merissa a lesson. Ever since I turned Sandra into a vampire, I gave my men the instruction to torture her with everything silver, but they should keep her alive because I want to be the one to end her life. She stole from me afterall.The door to my office opened and Baron walked in, I blinked slowly at him, my mind thinking of what it will take to get Baron to knock on that door before entering my office. "How many times have I told you to knock before entering my office? Do I have to yank your ear drum open then force the words inside?"He occupied the seat facing me then crossed his ankles "I saw Lucy on my way up here, so I figured up will be alone hence no reason to knock"I didn't bother correcting him to knock whether Lucy is in here or not. Most times talking to Cardin or trying to drill an instruction into his head is like wasting my time. "There is a newest development
