Into the nights Chapter 48
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

LucyI drove round the city for God knows how long, fully aware of the fact that Tornado is three cars behind me. Did he really think I wouldn't notice the black Bentley which has Velvet boldly written on the plate?I made a stop at the super market to get myself a bucket of ice cream. Ice cream is definitely what I need right now. As I was trying to park properly, I almost knocked a small boy over which tore a scream from my throat.I got down from the car and rushed the little boy to make sure I didn't inflict any body harm. Tornado appeared from no where as I helped the little boy stand. He was fine apart from few scratches here and there.The little boy in question did not even care about the fact that he was almost killed, he just stood there and stared dreamily at his now crushed biscuits and chocolate which made me feel even worst than I'm feeling. "Hey, why don't we go back inside so I can buy you new ones"It was as if my voice snapped him out of his daze. He began to pull his

CardinI left the house today a satisfied man. Sex with Lucy will never get boring neither will it get old. I stared down at my phone and the picture of that wanker Lucas greeted me, his bogus smile irking me. It's not as if I feel threatened by this man, it's just that he openly displays his affection towards my wife and I can't do anything about it because my wife sees him as her friend."Alberto requested another meeting and this time, he seems to be pleading" Baron said from his position in the front of the car. The driver paid no attention to us as he focused on the road."I'll see him once I'm done in the winery. Tell him to wait at the office. If I should get there and don't see him, I'm not ever meeting with him""You do know we are going to spend a lot of time at the winery right?" Baron asked, his attention now on his phone."If he really wants to meet me, then he will have to wait." Baron looked up from his phone, but I gave him a pointed look instead, silently telling him t

LucyI walked into lights off with Tornado right behind me. According to Cardin, I used to work here before I got promoted to the manager, but I don't really remember anything about that. I've been here few times before the wedding, mostly to have drink with Cardin and Baron and I know my way around because Cardin made sure to take me on a tour round the building. I walked straight into my office and sat down. Tornado stationed himself outside my office. I called in the former acting manager who is now the assistant manager. She is to handle the nightly duties then submit the paperwork to me in the morning before leaving for the day. I called her in and requested for the paperwork which she presented before me."Do you need any other thing ma'am?"I looked up from the stack of papers "No, that will be all. I'm sure my husband already told you how things will be from now onward?""Yes, he did ma'am. If that's all, I'll like to leave for the day"I waved her off. "Have a nice ride home

CardinThe discussion with Lucy went surprisingly well. I was expecting her response when she told me that she wants her to stay with Baron instead. According to her, it's the same compound just different building but I countered the idea by telling her that the deal was that she stays with me until her father sorts his enemy. She didn't take the argument further after that.Whoever it was that was climbing the stairs ealier finally knocked. An intake of breath told me that it was Baron who was at the other end of the door. I slowly removed Lucy's hand which was draped on my stomach.I succeeded in removing her hand without waking her; okay maybe I did wake her up, but she didn't bother opening my eyes. I opened the door to Baron's annoyed face "I can't believe that fucker woke me up from sleep. Alberto is here with his daughter"I heard the gate open, but I never thought it was Alberto. "Stop being a pussy and show him to my office. Make sure the guys keep an eye on him"Baron huffed
