Into the nights Chapter 26
Lucy I am too tired to listen to Cardin and Ashley argue about me. Walking straight to the toilet, I washed my face and stared at my refection in the mirror.I'm finally going crazy Splashing more water to my face, I thought about what I saw last night. I would have sworn I saw Vivian, but she's dead, saw her lying on her own blood. Even Cardin confirmed that she's dead. But after I woke up from that nightmare last, I saw her standing very close to my window, I remember blinking rapidly to make sure she was really standing there but I still saw her there. I stood up from my bed with every intention of approaching her but the duvet tangled on my leg making me fall flat on my face. When I raised my face from the floor, I was once again alone in my room. Shaking my head to get rid of the crazy memory, I walked out of the bathroom. Staying in this room is definitely going to make me go crazy, so I picked up my sneakers, and entered the indoor gym. I climbed the tread mill and started o

Cardin Baron called me few minutes ago, telling me that for the past one hour, Lucy has not been herself. She has been muttering things under her breath and shaking as if she caught a cold. I instructed him to bring her home as well as the CCTV recording from the club.Checking the time once again, my impatient self couldn't sit at a place again, knowing that something is hunting Lucy. I opened my front door and stepped outside. I sat down on the last step, ignoring the questioning and confused gaze from my security men. My ass itched and my fist clenched when I didn't see any sign of Baron's car. Fuck that... I'm going to get her myself. I stood up and made a move down the stairs but stopped when I finally saw Baron's car. I rushed down the stairs and opened the passenger door even before he killed the engine. Sitting on the passenger seat is a very quiet Lucy who is staring into an empty space. I tapped her whilst calling her name softly just to get her attention off whatever she

Cardin cont'dHer grin widened "finally... I've waited for a very long time for this moment" Baron who is as confused as I am eyed her skeptically "Emily is dead! Who the fuck are you?" That statement made her frown "Emily is supposed to be dead because her father decided to give her a painful death" she turned to me "why don't you have a seat brother; we have a lot of things to talk about" I turned to see who is offering me a seat, my eyes widened when I saw that clown... What's that his name again_ Jasper_ he avoided my gaze as he dropped the seat. I clenched my fist to avoid charging at him but I guess Baron doesn't give a shit about control because he rushed him and tightened his hand round the clown's throat, ready to squeeze the life out of him. It took five hefty vampires to drag him away from Jasper. "Don't blame the poor boy Baron, he was just trying to protect his little girl" Emily told him just as a little girl was released. The little girl ran straight to Jasper's wai

Three years later Lucy The sound of my alarm woke me up from sleep, lazily stretching my hand; I hurled it across the room, letting it smash loudly. Draping my hand over my eyes, I groaned loudly feeling upset over the fact that it is morning already. Sitting up, I stared at the pitiable pieces of the alarm clock on the floor. I guess I'll be purchasing the tenth alarm clock this month. Pulling the duvet away from my body, I got up to prepare for today's business. An hour and thirty minutes later, I stood inside my liquor shop, singing along with Celine Don's music playing in the background as I stocked the new liquor. Thinking back to how I started this shop. Three years ago, I woke up in Los Angeles, not remembering who I am or where I come from. I found out that my name is Lucy through my passport and other documents that I found on the table inside the strange house that I woke up in. I also found out that the house is mine through the house document which I also found with my

Baron I watched her look out through her window into the dark nights, looking for the unknown which is me. Call me creepy or anything you'll like to call me, but after what happened to Cardin, I've been left with the responsibility of taking care of her, to make sure that she is really okay and to make sure that her past is yet to catch up with her. After we lost most of our men in the hands of Emily, Cardin's dead but alive sister. Emily used to be my favorite as a little girl but right now as an adult, she's my worst enemy. Growing up, I've always been taught that my main purpose in life is to keep the Cardin alive as his beta. But right now, I've added hunting down Emily to the list. Watching the lonely and confused woman walk out of sight, I wished that things didn't turn out the way it did. I have always hoped that things will work out between them because I could practically feel the chemistry flowing through them but Emily had to booze in and spoil everything, pushing Cardin'

Lucy Pouring coffee into my cup, I heard someone curse from the hallway. Smiling to myself, I shook myself at my secretary's inability to hold alcohol despite the fact that she works in a liquor store. Her loud footsteps sounded just above me and I waited her arrival, keeping my ears open for more curses. "Fuck! Lucy... How the fuck do you look okay after that drink last night? I feel like someone hit my head on the dash board" Walking straight to the coffee machine, she poured some coffee for herself. Dropping my cup on the table, I didn't bother correcting her that she was the one who did all the drinking. She kept stealing my drink until I got tired and refused to order another one. "How are you feeling Jane?" I asked, knowing very well that she feels like shit, judging from the nest on her head, plus her puffy and red eyes. Raising her brows, she peered at me from the rim of her cup "I just told you how I'm feeling, why are you asking me again? Or are you just mocking me?" Sha

Cardin Even with the sun rising, all I see is darkness, despite the two persons who assumes I'm pardonable towards their short coming, but little do they know, that I let them go only because they know how to humble themselves and ask for mercy. I derive joy when people fall at my feet to ask for mercy, I feed off their fear, I feed off their willingness to live but recently, I am not satisfied with the people who know me. I do not want people only in the confinement of my building to fear me, I want the whole of New York to fear me, I want them to tremble at the mention of my name, I want them to fall at my feet and beg for mercy any time I walk pass them. I want the whole world to fall to their faces at the mention of my name. I want to ignite fear in the life of all and for that to happen, I'll have to leave the confinement of this room. My name alone will bring that flimsy creature out of her hiding place. The approaching footstep snapped my attention to the door; I stood still,

Lucy I've been standing on my two feet with nine inches heels all day, thanks to Jane. I regret ever asking her to make a wish for her birthday. We've been shopping since eight o'clock in the morning and this is already twelve noon. "What are we really looking for Jane" I whined for the twentieth times today. Looking around the mall, I tried to figure out where to get flats before I actually suffer from blisters. "Hush!" She chastised "quit complaining, we are looking for that perfect cloth, and once we find it, we are leaving this place" "What other perfect clothing? We have enough clothes here to serve for clubbing tonight, what I can't comprehend is why we are going round in circles, looking for a non-existent cloth!" Balancing the bags very well, I complained the more "I just want to go home, soak myself in a bath with a bottle of wine. Is that too much to ask?" She stopped walking precipitously and I almost ran into her. "Today is my birthday, and you promised to do anything

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
