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
Lucy Liquor business can be the best business to generate money, it can also be the worst business to generate money. It all depends on the management. If you have a strong management system, your business will definitely grow. This does not only apply in liquor business, it's the key for survival for every business out there.The door and soundproof windows drowned the loud music from the bar. With that peace and quiet, I made liquor orders for the classic at wholesale price, but this time, I ordered more liquor than before with the intent of taking out some for lights off.My hand was profusely typing away on my laptop when a knock sounded on my door. I replied with the permission to come in, a bouncer walked in. I don't even remember the guy, I only knew he was a bouncer because of the way he is dressed and the transmitter he is wearing. "How can I help you?" I asked, blinking slowly at him."There is a man who have been asking about you at the bar" he replied. He kept his face as
Cardin I do not like Lucy's new found interest on this little human. My men just burnt every transport system in which Petrov used to get here, everything except his jet which we confiscated. Petrov will plan on how to hit me back, despite the fact that he is in my territory. Having Lucy running around the city isn't the best situation right now.I heard someone walk up behind me, trying to be quiet. The scent is new which means it can only be one person. "If your intention is to sneak up on me, then your father did a very bad job in telling you about me Merissa"She walked closer until she was standing next to me. "A lady could try, it will be a thing of record if I should be the first to sneak up on Mr Cardin Velvet, don't you think so?"I eyed her, that was when I noticed what she was wearing. That same bikini she wore at Quellenhof luxury resort, the same bikini that Lucy wanted to purchase and I countered it because it showed almost all her body parts. I removed my gaze so she wo
Lucy Sleep was snatched from me, and I know that Cardin is also finding it diffcult to sleep too. This is the second time in one night that I'm finding them in an unusual position. I trust Cardin hundred percent, but I do not trust the girl. It doesn't help that it's the same girl that I felt insecure about during our honeymoon.I closed my eyes, trying to force sleep into my eyes, so this thoughts can stop going flowing in my head. Three hours later, I was still unable to sleep. I carefully removed Cardin's hand which was pinning me down on the bed, I changed into a track pant and singlet, I wore my sports shoes which have been decorating the closet for sometime now.I walked out of the house, I wasn't surprised when Tornado appeared from nowhere. "Are you going out ma'am?"I bent down, tightened my shoe lace and ran off. He had no other option than to run after me. I ran for just thirty minutes before Tornado's phone rang. With what he said, it was obvious who he was talking to. I s
Lucy I came home early just like I promised Cardin that I will for the event. Tornado instead of entering the manor with me stopped outside to talk to his mates. I opened the front door and walked in, what I wasn't expecting was two voices bickering in the kitchen. Instead of stopping them, I actually sat down in the living room to listen to them quarrel. With what they were saying, it seems as if Ashley just got here."I asked you a question!" Merissa hissed "Who the fuck are you?! Cardin won't appreciate a stranger in his house"I heard the fridge open and close "I used to think so myself until I saw you standing here, but instead of asking you who the fuck you are, my brain kind of did some thinking which yours have refused to do, if you are in his kitchen, comfortably wearing his shirt which is a suicide mission if I must point out, I figured you are his guest"That one caught my attention. Why the hell is she wearing Cardin's shirt? What's her deal with Cardin? Is she obsessed or
Cardin I walked inside, ready to apologize to my wife for the delay from the makeup artist and stylist whom I hired to get her ready for tonight. They were suppose to be here by now, but when I didn't see their car parked outside, I figured they weren't here yet.I also saw another new car parked outside, although I've never seen the car in my driveway before, I kind of figured who owns the car. Walking inside my home, I felt a tensed air even before seeing anybody. I followed Ashley's voice to the kitchen, the picture I saw, wasn't one which I was expecting. I saw Ashley causally seated, sipping what I assumed is blood while my wife looks very angry? My mood suddenly changed to a dark one. I followed her eyes and it settled on the reason for her anger. Is that my shirt?"I need her out of this house this very minute" Lucy told me with a hoarse voice, one filled with too much anger and emotion.Just as I took a menacing step forward, Merissa tried to take one back "Take a fucking step
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
