Into the nights Chapter 37
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

CardinI trailed her home not just to make sure that she's safe, but to have a chat with that bastard who lives next to her. I have my men on standby already, just in case he tries to escape or if he tries anything funny. She stopped at a supermarket to pick something and I waited patiently for her to finish her shopping and when she finished, she got into her car and I followed behind.I watched her from a distance as she walked into her house. I gave my men sign to keep watch on her while I pay her neighbor a visit. I didn't bother knocking, I just picked the lock and walked in, knowing that if Seth is really who we think he is, then he should be aware that there is an intruder. I walked into the living room and almost laughed out loud at the setting of the house. Anybody who walks in here will think that they have seen an actual human being who is ready to start a family. I felt his presence even before I saw him standing close to the dining room. His body posture arrogantly calm

LucyI was in the office later that afternoon, when Cardin arrived. The look on his face even though he was trying to mask it told me that something is terribly wrong. I stood up from my seat and met him halfway, with my brows drawn together "Cardin? Is everything okay? What's wrong?"He drew me closer and engulfed me in a tight hug "I'm sorry... I truly am... I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this pain baby"I pushed him away slightly so I can get a better look at his face "Cardin... What's going on? You're scaring me... Did something happen back home?"He ran his hand up and down my spine "Everybody back home is fine. It's you I'm worried about" guiding me to the sofa in my office, he sat down with me before grabbing the TV remote control. He switched on the news station and I watched with wide eyes as the news presenter gave me heartbreaking news.Jane Bachor, a twenty seven year old woman who was killed by her boyfriend Marco Nelson. The accused confessed to the crime during ea

CardinYesterday night, when I visited Jane's home to question his boyfriend about what he knows on her whereabouts, I did not expect things to turn out the way it did. Just one look at the man, I knew he was lying. I tried to force the truth from his mouth but he wouldn't budge so I compelled him to tell me the truth which he did. I wanted to kill him that instant but that would leave the death of Jane a complete mystery. Still under my compelling, I told him to go to the cops and confess his crime and surrender himself which he did.The next morning, I went to Lucy's office, knowing that Jane's death should have hit the news by now. I expected to meet her wailing when I got to her office, but she was busy with something else, ignorant to the morning news. When she saw the news, she stared wide eyed, trying to understand what is going on and when the news finally sank in, she cried bitterly, her tears tugging my heart. She demanded that Marco must pay regardless of the fact that he's

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
