Into the nights Chapter 44
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

CardinI've been busy for these past few days, trying to bring the club back to business. We've also discovered Emily's location and I've sent some men over to keep an eye on her. I speak with Lucy everyday and I heard from her that Jane's funeral rites will be done tomorrow. Even though she didn't request for me to be there, I know I should be there for her."Are you still going for the funeral tomorrow?" Baron asked, his voice ruffled due to the smoke from the cigar which is still in his mouth."I'll be leaving very early tomorrow so I should be there before the officiating priest says few words of prayer for the corpse""I'm going to with you...I just feel I should be there for her too"I don't think I'm comfortable with him coming with me "I can't leave my city that vulnerable. If you leave with me, who will be overseeing the affairs of my people?" Twirling the content of my glass, I voiced my thought "I don't just know how to convince her to come to New York because of all the dan

LucyOpening my eyes, I noticed I wasn't in my room, I remember this room, this is Cardin's room in New York. New York! What the hell am I doing here? How did I even get here? Did he drug me? I shook my head. My head doesn't feel heavy which means I wasn't drugged but then how did I get here?I closed my eyes, trying to remember how I got here. I remember us coming back from Jane's funeral; Baron was in the living room before he left for a bathroom break while Cardin went upstairs to probably answer a business call. I also recall going to check on Seth because I haven't seen him since that day I saw him packing traveling bags in his car trunk.I also remember pressing his door bell without any response. I turned to leave, but then I heard gunshot only for me to feel pain in my stomach. I looked down only to discover that I've been_I sat up abruptly, raising my shirt to look for a bullet wound, it's strange that I'm not feeling any pain but it's damn confusing when I raised my shirt bu

CardinThe family of Velvet sadly announces the death of their father Vincent Velvet who was found dead this morning in his hotel room. The funeral rites will take place tonight at his home...I smirked from my position at the mini bar. Finally that bastard got what he deserves. I must say, Seth didn't waste any time in eliminating him, I guess he wants him dead as much as I do.Lucy who was watching the news with us looked at me with sympathy in her eyes "I'm so sorry for your loss Cardin. Will you be going for the funeral rites?"Ashley scoffed "Oh please everybody here is quite happy that he's no more and it's bad enough that he still has remains. Please don't just rub it in our faces or remind us"Lucy turned her attention to Baron "Isn't he meant to have remains?"Baron crossed his hand over his head, "You see, we vampires when we die we evaporate into the thin air like tiny flames of fire but unfortunately for us, Vincent's body is still intact which means he will be given last r

CardinI stood outside my window, overlooking the guests, some from Mexico, Santiago and here in New York. Of course everybody wants to see Cardin Velvet tie the knot. Seven months later, everybody carried on with their lives as if the war that happened three months ago didn't happen. I can't never forget the man who sacrificed his life for me, who took the silver knife meant for my heart. The same silver knife that I used to plug Emily's heart out making sure that she won't survive it this time. Even though I haven't known him for so long, I know that I'll definitely miss him. Seth Velvet my brother.After his death, the people of Santiago wanted me back but I refused, offering the position of kingship to Baron who also refused. He said that his position is by my side. I offered it to Ashley which she accepted. According to her, she needs to be away from me so she can be able to open her heart to others.A knock on the door brought me out from my inner thought "It's time" Baron said g

LucyI must have dozed off sometime during the flight because I woke up with my head on Cardin's shoulder. He didn't notice that I was awake because his attention was on his phone which was on his other free hand."Would you like a glass of wine?" He asked, his attention still on the phone.Well I guess he knows I'm awake. "No. I'm fine" I sat up properly and looked out through the window. All I could see were blue clouds. Nothing more. "How long are we gonna be up here?"He finally pocketed his phone. He glanced at his wrist watch. "Three more hours left"I stretched my bones and groaned loudly "Jeez, my back feels stiff" I unfastened the safety belts and stood up "I'm going to relieve my bladder" I felt his eyes on me as I walked to the bathroom. I took my time, did my business and washed the makeup off my face. I mean it looks messed up already. Satisfied with my natural face, I left the toilet.I walked in on the flight attendants' hand on Cardin's shoulder and it wasn't just lying

LucyI couldn't believe my eyes. I am in Italy. Fucking Italy. I'm so exploring this place. I kept looking out the window, making videos. I left Cardin to his phone, too engrossed with my environment rather than complaining that it's our honeymoon and his eyes shouldn't be glued to his phone all the time."You should really relax, we have a long journey ahead of us" he scooted closer to me and draped his hand on my shoulder "We should be in this car for five hours and thirty seven minutes give and take including any stop"My eyes widened "Five what?" I pulled off my shoe. I can as well get comfortable since it's going to be a long ride. Cardin suggested we watch a movie which I immediately agreed to; what else will we be doing throughout the duration of the car ride?We watched the movie. I talked almost half of the movie, asking stupid questions when I'm obviously still watching the movie. "Do you think he's going to kill her?" I asked Cardin, my eyes partly closed not wanting to see

CardinWe've been here for one week, I took Lucy shopping, took her to historic enter, took her sky diving. I gave her a definition of fun but we leave tonight. I can't stay away from work forever."I can't believe we are leaving!" Lucy whined for the tenth time. She kicked her suitcase, causing the poor thing to fall. I stifled laughter as I picked it up then handed it to Tornado to put in the car.The moment he left with our suitcases, I squatted down in front of Lucy. "I promise we will be back" I tilted my head, thinking of the best season to return "maybe we will spend our Christmas here"She peered at me from under her lashes "Really?" When I nodded, she groaned loudly "I sound like a teenager who is throwing a tantrum"I laughed as I pulled her up, placed a chaste kiss on her lips before we walked out towards the car hand in hand.After a long journey, we finally got to the manor. Lucy was asleep next to me, using my shoulder as her headrest. I tapped her lightly on her cheek wh
