Into the nights Chapter 17
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

Lucy I sat on the chair in the dining room numbly stirring the coffee with a spoon. I can't comprehend what I just saw. Vivian in her own blood lying lifeless? How did that even happen? Cardin said he was going to take care of it, does that mean he's going to call the cops? Shouldn't they be questioning me? I'm her roommate right? My ringtone made me jump in fright; I checked the caller and saw that it is Jasper. I ignored it. The phone continued ringing and ringing until I picked out of frustration. "Jasper... How can I help you?" I asked making it obvious that answering this call isn't something I want to be doing now "Lucy... Is everything okay?" I sat erect. Is the death of Vivian all over the news? I guess the cops are on their way now. What if they didn't find me at home so they now think I did it? Am I going to be apprehended for someone else's crime? "Lucy... Are you still there?" Jasper asked, worry evident in his voice "I'm fine Jasper, why do you ask?" Absently shifti

Cardin Have you ever felt as if everything is wrong, that it is not going the way it is supposed to but there is absolutely nothing you can do about it? That's what I'm experiencing right now. I know nothing is going as it is supposed to but I don't know what I'm going to do about that. The body at the lab which cause of death was found to be a chemical found in their system. So far, the two things which can lead to a death of a vampire is either you snap you neck or you use silver appliances straight to their heart. Snapping their neck isn't always easy. It's possible only if you are faster than your opponent, fast enough to get hold of his neck. But this new improvement of chemical, chemical that we do not even know it's component. It was ruled out as the cause of death because it was the only strange thing found in their system. Talking about Seth, Vivian's boyfriend, we went in search of him, but we found out that he never lived in that address that Vivian gave us. Instead of S

Lucy Staring at my red wrist, I thought about what Cardin just told me. He wants me to trust him when he doesn’t even trust me. I stood up from the bed and made my way towards the door. I haven’t even explored the house yet and I’m going to do just that or maybe because I love going against Cardin’s order. I opened the door expecting to see hefty men in black suits standing guard outside the room, instead I was greeted by a quiet hallway but I can still hear chattering noise coming from probably the living room downstairs. I carefully climbed down the stairs as noiseless as I can be but I was busted when the first face I saw downstairs was that of Cardin. “I thought I told you to remain in my room until I come and get you?” he asked while approaching me “well it took you long enough to make a little confirmation and I was told that I never pay heed to instructions” Baron whistled as his eyes trailed down my body “the shouting beauty has finally been released. I must say you look h

Cardin Lucy jumped at the sound of Ashley's voice, the rice which was already in her spoon spilled at the jerk of her body. I'm glad that Ashley is back, but of course she must make a dramatic entry. I stood up and approached her "it's nice of you to join us again Ashley" She sneered at me "you sound as if you are not happy to see me Cardin. Are you angry that I interrupted your make out session with her?!" I haven't seen her for over few days and we've been scared shitless that maybe she was taken by that psychopath roaming the street of New York. Ignoring her sarcasm, I pulled her in for a tight hug. "Do you know how much you scared us Ashley? Don't just disappear like that again" Her hand circling my waist tightened it's grip "I'm sorry, I was feeling so left out like the third party. I was feeling angry at you, Baron, everybody and I was feeling angry at myself for caring" Smoothing my hand down her back, I savored the fact that she's alive and here with us "I don't want you

Lucy Seeing Ashley back home made me happy despite her obvious hatred towards me. With her being back home, it simply means that Baron and Cardin will stop worrying and everything will go back as it was. Ashley will be back to managing the club while I will_ I will__ I will what? The initial plan was to go find another job once Ashley gets back. That was before I saw my roommate body covered in blood, before Cardin restricted my movement by making me a prisoner in his house. What will happen after he finds the killer and make him confess? Will I be able to go back to my apartment without seeing Vivian everywhere? Recently, my life seems to be having a lot of question mark. The door to the room opened and I sat up immediate, my back stiffens at the thought of it being Ashley. But instead of Ashley, Cardin walked into his room. Of course it's his room not Ashley's. He noticed my stiff state and frowned. "Is this about Ashley? I'm sorry about the way she spoke to you earlier, she has

Into the nights Epilogue
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
