LucyA small nudge from Lucas brought me back from my paralyzed state. I blinked rapidly but still kept my eyes on the golden eye man whose eyes were still locked on mine."Are you okay? I know the press can be exhausting most times. Just make it past the entrance door; I'll have the waitress get you something to calm your nerves."Taking my eyes away from the somewhat familiar man, I smiled politely at Lucas "I'm fine; it's nothing a glass of champagne can't handle"Giving the camera another warm smile, he placed his hand on waist and together we walked into the grand hall. I spared the golden eyed man another glance and I saw him glaring at Lucas's hand that is firmly on my waist.The evening went on well; Lucas met new clients while I got new business proposals which I promised to consider. I slowly got tired of the constant smiling and business proposals as well as sexual hints from the old men. I walked to the open bar and requested for a drink.Carefully nursing my champagne, I n

Cardin I hate it when people disrespect me or when things doesn't go as planned but funny enough, I don't find this woman who just walked away from me annoying, rather I find her intriguing. Keeping my eyes on her, I saw her walk towards the back entrance of the hall. I tried to stop her; doesn't she know how lonely it will be back there? The dangers of finding a woman alone in the dark? I only took a step towards her before Baron stopped me. "It's time for your speech sir" he said, looking all uptight in his suit.Taking a quick glance to the door, I noticed that Lucy isn't standing there again and the swinging door proves that she just walked through it. Turning my gaze to Baron, annoyance crossed my face "what speech are you talking about?"Adjusting his suit, he pointed towards the podium "when you accepted that invitation, you should have known that you will be expected to give a speech as one of event supporter"I frowned "you supported this_" I waved my hand around "this event

BaronTwirling the content of what is being held in the glass which is firmly in my hand; my mind went back to the event of this night. When I saw those two lying lifeless on the floor, I was actually happy because it proved that even in a feral state he protected Lucy. Seeing her on his arm is one of the best sights I've seen for the past three years. If he isn't a form of threat to her, that means she is my only hope in getting Cardin back. Cardin's Derka also feels the connection between them and I know that once he doesn't feel threatened, he will let Cardin come back and this might take decades or centuries, that I do not have patience for which is why I need Lucy. Just few hours with her, I caught a glimpse of the real Cardin. I can swear I saw his eyes go back to the lovely shade of brown. It seems Cardin is finally fighting his Derka for dominance upon feeling Lucy's presence. Even Cardin's Derka was also surprised that Cardin is finally fighting back.That lady lying in his r

LucyI expected to feel refreshed and ready for the day after a long night sleep, but instead I felt my head pound so badly that I had to grimace. Placing my open palm on my forehead as if it will help ease the pain, I opened my eyes lazily wondering why the alarm clock didn't wake me up. I looked outside through the window, hoping to tell the time from the brightness of the day but the gray curtain had me sitting up abruptly. This isn't the color of my curtain. I looked round the room and gradually took in the setting of the room, starting from the color of the painting to the furniture decorating the room.Pulling the duvet off my body, I sat up with much force than needed that was when I noticed the shirt I'm wearing which isn't mine. Looking round the room, I saw my red shoe at the far end of the room. Walking on my tiptoes to avoid making any noise, alerting my kidnapper isn't the best thing to do right now. I've been kidnapped right? Placing my hand carefully on the door knob, I

LucyI woke up only to see the sun very high in the sky. I picked up my phone to check the time but I saw seven missed calls from Lucas. Sitting up, I tried his number only to be directed to his voice mail so I left a message for him. "If you receive this message, please call me back." Next I tried Jane's number but I got redirected to her voicemail again. Stifling my frustration, I got off the bed and walked straight into the bathroom to refresh.I saw an extra toothbrush which I used for brushing my teeth then I showered with his toiletries. After showering, I walked into the room with every intention of borrowing his shirt once more since I'm not leaving yet. I can't leave New York without Lucas and he's not picking my calls.Upon entering the room, I walked into the walk into closet; I picked up one of Cardin’s shirt and changed into it.Once I was sure that I looked presentable, I went downstairs in search of breakfast. The first person I met was Baron, he was in the dining room s

CardinI spent the rest of that morning in my office, thinking about what I did to Lucy. Ever since I saw her at the club that night, I knew I shouldn't hurt her yet today I bruised her wrist. Being kind isn't my specialty, I'm meant to be the heartless beast that fights and defend it's vampires and the only reason why I overtook Cardin's body is just to find that traitor who tried to hurt us, who tried to stop my existence. But then I had to see that young girl again and I hurt her yet again. Cardin and I are one and that young lady is our soul mate. After hurting her today, I'm considering letting Cardin take over, I can resurface anytime he's in danger or anytime Lucy is in danger.A short knock on the door had me raising my head. On the third tap, the person opened the door although I know who is knocking already.Baron walked in quietly, he assessed my face before sitting down on the empty seat. I glared at him, ready to transfer my frustration to him "I don't remember offering y

CardinAfter my call with the men Baron put in charge of Lucy, my next plan was to go visit the wine factory. I told Baron to give me a summary of what have been going on in the wine factory, starting from our sales increase to our loss for the past three years.Baron looked all serious with his fake medicated glass. He just likes to wear it, claiming that age is longer on his side. He pointed at the line in the chart on the table "So the demand for the wine is at a high rate and we do not have enough space and plant to meet such demand. I brought up the topic of finding a new space to start up another plantation but I guess your former self wasn't so keen on business"I taped my pen lightly on the table while nursing a glass of whiskey "Do you have any land or space in mind?" I asked. Knowing Baron, I know he has already mapped out a land even before bringing this topic to my desk.He removed his glasses and dropped it on the table "I have an eye on that your empty land in Hudson Rive

LucyI'm definitely reporting Jane missing come tomorrow morning. Driving home from work, I contemplated going back to Marco's place but that guy gives me creeps with his perverted mindset.I almost ran into the figure before me that I had to slam my breaks very fast, hitting my head in the steering but not hard enough to knock me off, but hard enough to inflict pain. Who did I just kill in front of my house!? Opening my car, I ran out to inspect the mishap that I caused and I saw Seth on the floor holding his knee.I approached him, my heart beating quickly that I fear it might actually fall off. "Oh my God! Are you okay? I didn't mean to run you over" kneeling down before him, I coaxed him to let go of knee so I can inspect the wound. "Let me see it... Do you think it needs emergency attention?"Shaking his head, he leaned on me "Help me stand up, I don't think I can do it on my own" he winced in pain as I helped him stand. "I was coming to ask if you have screwdriver but I guess I g
