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'
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
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
2003 Remind me why I am in the dark like a criminal in an amusement park with my mom, sister and the guards?Aaah I remember... We are here because my mom feels we should have fun like kids. I was born in 1993, but that doesn’t make me a kid. I’ve seen what many kids shouldn’t see so I don’t perceive why I am here, in the dark if I must add.My little sister giggled from the swing, demanding that my mom push her higher. I watched my mom smile at her, pretending that the stretching of her cheeks is real.. Pretending that all is okay when she knows nothing is fine.Because I’m here without a daylight ring proves as much.…That she waits for my father to leave to handle his business before taking us out to have fun proves as much...That she has a scarf round her neck even though the air isn’t chilly proves as much...And because Dominic is looking at my mother with longing in his eyes proves as much... And if you are wondering how a ten year old can tell, remember that there is nothing
Cardin“Whenever you do things that I detest, someone will have to pay for it since executing you is not an option. "“Dad, please I’m beseeching you don’t do this... Please,”“Don’t fucking call me that, it’s sir to you. I'm going to pardon your mum but I am going to place her in a silver casket as protracted as I choose and for you, your sister is going to pay for your sins as no one cares if she’s alive or dead. So you are going to look her in the eyes as I pierce her heart with a silver dagger”“Please... Sir don’t do this to them, it’s my wrongdoing... I let the Iska escape not them so please discipline me and stamp them out of this,”“You are going to look her in the eyes and know that you murdered your sister all because of an Iska that you know nothing about. May this hunt you for the rest of your existence,” I roused feeling disoriented. If I were human, I will be drenched in sweats. I glanced around my surrounding and recognized that I am n
CardinGetting that body out of the morgue wasn't that difficult for us in terms of being caught, but it was difficult for us because we couldn't get enough humans for our blood supply because everybody seems to be very vigilant.Letting our existence known to the humans isn't an option because we will be having other vampires round the world on our neck."Did you hear me Cardin?"I lazily transferred my gaze to her "I wasn't really paying attention to you"Baron snickered despite the serious air in the room. Ashley glared at him before turning her furious eyes to me "what could be more important than the situation at hand? Than the fact that the blood in the bank isn't enough to sustain us for the day?"Baron answered in my stead "the fact that there is someone out there that knows of our existence and also the fact that the person created another means of killing us as if silver isn't enough and also the fact that other vampire rulers
Lucy Life has not been easy for me. Being forced to grow up at a tender age does have a whole lot of side effects, those side effects which I'm currently facing right now. Staring at the bills laying on the table, I prayed harder that my job request be accepted at that local diner down the street.Working as a waitress in 'lights off' doesn't pay all my bills, so I decided to put my free time to use since I usually work at night. My boss Miss Ashley is a woman with mixed personality, she can be sweet today and fucking mean the next. Judging from her interaction with the other workers there who happen to be on her bad side, I definitely do not want to do anything that will piss her off. Her brother Mister Baron seem to be a nice person, but I'm uneasy with people's attiude. I think life thought me as much. Thinking back to the night before, I thought about the man who came in with Baron.Over my one week stay at lights off, I've heard whispers about the boss's boss,
Lucy[I]Report to work when you're fully healed[i/][B]lights off[b/] Who the hell signs a letter like that??? Okay...I know I'm being silly, but whoever wrote this letter would have signed his name instead of the club's name at least to help me figure out who visited me at the hospital while I was unconscious. It's not as if I can walk up to Mr Baron or Mr Velvet, demanding the say something so I can figure out who owns that voice at the hospital.'Mr Velvet Cardin' is my life revolving around that name or what?? I picked up the handkerchief that mysteriously found it's way into my pocket many years ago. I'm not exactly sure the particular year that I found this handkerchief in my possession, but I know it was a very long time ago.Tracing the inscription on the handkerchief which has Cardin written boldly in cursive writing. Is it strange that I have a boss's boss named Cardin and also a mysterious handkerchief with Cardin inscribed on it? Shaking my head, I laughed at how stupid I

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
