Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 33
Lucas sat in a poised manner on the couch in the living room with his back leaned against the chair and he crossed his legs while his eyes were on Josephine who tapped her feet on the ground impatiently while waiting for him to give her an answer to the question she asked.“What did you say your problem was?” Lucas asked and Josephine glared at him.“I don’t have any problem. I asked you why you deceived me into signing this,” she shook the paper in her hand and placed it on the center table.“Hmm,” Lucas hummed with humor in his eyes and he said to her, “Did I really deceive you? Or was it you who was eager to sign the contract so I can go along with you without changing my mind? I’m confused now.”Josephine felt like ruffling her hair but she held her hand in place and clenched it tight. “How do you expect me to follow all these?” she asked, trying to ease her temper.“Didn’t you read the content when I handed it over to you?” Lucas questioned and intertwined his fingers before plac

Josephine shot her eyes opened and stared up at the ceiling in her room. There was a break of sweat on her forehead and she tried to steady her breathing. She had just had a dream...or more like a memory of her childhood. She raised her upper body to sit up and then she got out of bed before walking towards the window. She pulled the curtain to the side and stared outside where it was now evening. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes as she recollected the memory...*Five years old Josephine had just returned back from school with Maya after Mrs. Lewis driver had picked them. Her mother had put her in the care of Mrs. Lewis as she was her only trusted friend, before she went on a business trip. It had been four days since she was gone and that day was the day she was supposed to return, the day Josephine had been anticipating.“Mother!” Maya called and Josephine raised her eyes to see Mrs. Lewis coming out from the corridor. She saw Maya run to her and her mother picked her up bef

Lucas stared ahead of him as he held the glass in his hand delicately and while Josephine waited for him to speak, she bit the inside of her cheek, scolding herself inwardly for asking him to tell her about himself. She knows everyone has a past_be it painful or a memorable one, but there are some who chose not to remember or talk about their past as it was painful and brought back the pains as they remember them, and she was no different.“You don’t h-have to tell me. I—”“It’s fine,” Lucas said and turned his head to meet her eyes. Josephine could see how his expression had turned serious with a slight frown on his forehead.“I had quite a remarkable past,” he started and the corner of his lips pulled up as if he remembered something exciting. “I had no one to call a friend, was always by myself. But I had a very lovely mother. She understood everything about me and she was the only one for me even though I had a father I wished I never had.”Josephine listened to him speak with lit

Josephine climbed up the stairs with Lucas following behind and she pursed her lips before releasing it as a soft sigh escaped from her mouth. She felt Lucas words about him killing his father and burying him inside a cupboard, haunt her and now that she thinks of it, she regret ever asking him to tell her about his past.As she got to the front of her room, she heard Lucas wish her, “Goodnight Josephine,” and her body went stiff for a second. Before Lucas would walk past her, she quickly stopped him by holding his cloth. When Lucas raised a brow at her, she gulped and asked, “Can you sleep in my room?”Josephine was unsure if Lucas would agree to it but she had thought before asking that it was better to have him next to her than for her to be alone and be haunted by every single movement she hears. She saw Lucas brows furrow slightly and he said to her, “I will be right back.”She watched his back as he walked ahead of her and then she saw him enter his room. Heaving out a sigh of r

Josephine stepped out of her room and made her way downstairs. She let out a yawn and stretched herself before descending the stairs. When she had woke up, she didn’t meet Lucas beside her so she thought he must have left for work but as soon as she took the last step, she was surprised to see him there but even more surprised that he was putting on an apron and setting the table. Josephine would have thought that he was only setting the table for himself but on looking twice, she didn’t think so.As if noticing her presence, Lucas turned to look at her and he greeted with a smile, “Morning princess. How was your night?” He then removed the apron and put it aside.Josephine almost blushed at his humor and she replied him back with a smile, “Good. Morning to you too.”Taking few steps towards him, she folded her hands behind her and looked at the table where the food was laid. Moving her eyes to look at him, she asked, “Are you expecting someone today?”She waited for an answer but she
Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 38
Josephine moved her feet to where Lucas was and they both started to walk towards the door. Just as they were about to reach, the front door flung open, revealing a young lady with smiles spread across her lips and without sparing a word, she jumped on Lucas, hugging him where he also hugged her back.“You didn’t tell me you would be coming today,” the lady said after they disengaged from the hug and made a pout which Josephine found cute.“Well, surprise!” Lucas said and smiled before the lady eyes fell on Josephine.Now she remembers. It was the first day being out with Lucas. He had brought her here and told her to sit in the car. From what he said that day, the lady was his daughter and one does not need to be married before they could have a daughter.Josephine noticed how the girl clinged unto Lucas like he would get snatched away and she heard her ask Lucas, “Who is she?”Josephine folded her hands below and waited for Lucas to introduce her.“My responsibility,” Lucas answered
Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 39
Josephine let out a shaky breath and blinked several times, Nicholas words playing in her head. If he is right, Lucas has been biting into his flesh and drinking his own blood. But why would he do that? Why has he been refusing her blood? And what was he hiding?Walking back to the table, she stared at the glass filled with water and her hand circled around it. Without thinking, she took out the kitchen knife and brought it close to her hand and she slit it. She winced and let her blood drop inside the glass and it mixed with the water inside.“What do you think you are doing?!” Josephine was startled and she immediately turned to see Trisha standing not too far away with a frightened look on her face. “Y—you slit your own arm?” Trisha asked and blinked, looking scared.Finding her voice, Josephine said, “This is not what you think,” and she tried to move closer towards her but Trisha screamed out and the next second, both Lucas and Nicholas appeared.“What hap...” Lucas stopped tal

Lucas didn’t bother looking at the maid who was blushing at the corner and he took the glass in his hand before drowning the whole content in his mouth. Dropping the glass back, he asked Patton, “What do you want from me?”“I see that you are not that patient. Well,” he began, “I have a deal for you. A deal that is going to benefit the both of us. All I need is for you to do the work and you will have my full support and protection.”Lucas twisted his lips and asked, “Protection? Or burden?”“Lucas, this deal is going to benefit you more. You need to look on the positive side of it,” Patton said and leaned forward where he said in a low voice, “Remember I know what you are. What will you do if other people find out?”Lucas didn’t feel threatened and instead, he scoffed through his nose. Leaning forward, he said, “You still haven’t told me what this is about.”Patton looked at him for seconds before he spoke, “I have a team working on something extraordinary. I call it, the new future

Josephine_So much has happened in a year when I met Lucas and so much has changed after a year he left. I still remember that night, losing the grasp of his hand and watching him die right in front of my eyes. That memory still haunts me. I keep telling myself he should not have been the one to die, but, I can never change what fate has in store for us. If I could, then I would have wished we never met. It is sad, but maybe it would have hurt less. Maybe we wouldn’t have gone through a pain like this. Maybe our lives would have been better. Maybe no one would have had to die.Matilda just got married to her long boyfriend, Gabriel, and nothing can describe the happiness I have for the both of them. It was a double celebration because she is expecting, very soon. But one would think I have no happiness at all. It was the kind where i was rejoicing inside me but my face holds no emotions at all. I guess I already turned cold myself. Even my smile does not believe I am happy when I indee

"It's my fault," Josephine kept repeating in her mind as Sullivan drove. She blames herself for everything. If only she had listened to him. If only he never ate that food, all these wouldn't have happened to him. And it was her fault. She did that to him, and now, she is not so sure anymore. The evening is already setting in and Sullivan drove into a narrow way which had trees surrounding every path. The ride was rough but no one cares as they just have to keep going. At a point, they got lost, not knowing the right path, but Sullivan was able to get back on track but it’s just that, they were a little too late.The evening before, when Sullivan saw the necklace Josephine held, he suddenly had a memory recollection. He has seen it somewhere before, just exactly the way it is. It was part of Mathian Gray’s collection back when he was still alive. When young Sullivan had questioned him on why he kept those things and pointed to that particular necklace, Mathian had said that he wants

If life were predictable then it would cease to be life and be without flavor. That was a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, Josephine thought as she lay in bed without clothes, under the sheets. It has been a while she has woken up after the long night she had with Lucas, yet, she has not moved or turned her body. It was because she knows that if she does, she won’t see him there and so, she has decided to remain in that position and reflect on her life.It has been a few years now since she made up her mind not to have sex before marriage and at first, she thought it was the reason Brian cheated on her, but no, Brian was never worthy of it in the first place. He never deserved her and that was it. But Lucas was different. What they did was not out of love, but something deeper than that. It was something that cannot be explained no matter how hard she tries to place it. And she did not regret it, nor did she feel like she was becoming like Maya. It was two different things. Maya only did i

Josephine stood there speechless and she stared at him. Of course there were lots of things she wanted to ask him about her mother. Why did he have to hide such a thing from her? Was he scared about what might happen if she finds out? Those were the questions she kept asking herself but for some reason, she did not know why she took pity on him. “Josephine,” he called and said, “I asked why you are not asking me about your mother. Nicholas told me about everything. I kept it from you and you finally found out, but why are you not asking me about it? Why are you not getting angry?” he grabbed her hand as he asked. “You should already know that your mother died because of me so say something and stop looking at me with those innocent eyes,” he yelled. Josephine had to close her eyes to prevent herself from flinching. She has never seen him so angry or speak in such manner. When he released his grip from her hand, she opened her eyes to stare into his eyes which already turned dark and

Josephine stared at the old picture in her hand and trailed her fingers on it. So the boy her mother mentioned about was actually Lucas. Was he the reason she never came back the day she was supposed to? Was that the reason he helped her and took her to his apartment? Did he know all along that she was the daughter? Then, was her mother the person before her?Those were the thought that came to her and she could not help but think about each one of them. She brought out the necklace and the letters that hung on it oscillated in the air.Sullivan saw the reflection of the silver necklace through the front mirror and as it dangled, he suddenly had a memory flash and he gasped almost immediately while stopping the car abruptly.Josephine almost hit her head on the front seat at the sudden halt and she moved her head to the side to check on Sullivan. “Are you alright?” she asked with worry on her face. “I am sorry, I should not have let you drive me back. You must have been tired.”“No, i

Mrs. Lewis stared at Josephine as they stood face to face with each other in the living room. Ever since she held that gathering, she has not seen nor spoken to her and it bothers her a lot. She did not mean to hurt her with the revelation, or maybe she should have told her first than reveal it while everyone was present.“I came to ask you something, mother,” Josephine blinked as she said it.Mrs. Lewis did not know what it was she wanted to ask, but she knows that something must have happened for her to come to her and want to ask about it. “And what is that?” she asked.“Before my mother died,” she said and could feel her eyes burning, “did she mention about a boy to you?” she asked. “She was going to bring him to me.”“No, she did not,” Mrs. Lewis answered honestly and concern etched on her face. “Did something happen?” she asked feeling unsure.A soft sigh escaped her lips and she took in a deep breath. “I got your package on my birthday,” she said and brought out the necklace fr

Michael met Sullivan on his way to start heading back to work and he stopped to greet him with a smile.“Good morning Mr. Sullivan.”“Yes, Michael,” Sullivan responded casually and asked, “Why are you here instead of being at work?”“That...” he trailed off and continued, “I have not seen Boss for some days now so I came to check up on him. I guess you must know where he is.”“Just get back to work already. The Boss does not like it when you laze around.”“Come on, I have been working my ass off ever since I started working for Boss but tell me, who is lazing around now?” he asked with a smirk.“The Boss has something important he is dealing with at the moment so it will take some time for him to return,” that is if he will. Sullivan said the last words in his mind.“I see,” Michael raised his brows. “Miss Josephine said the same thing.”“Quit talking and get going already,” Sullivan dismissed him.“How about you give me a lift?” Michael suggested with his usual smile.Sullivan scoffe

“Michael?” she called his name in surprise as she has not seen him for a while now.Michael smiled on seeing her and he pushed his glasses up while holding on to the arm of his backpack with his other hand.“Hello, Miss Josephine,” he greeted. “It is good to see you again.”“You too,” Josephine said with a smile and quickly moved to the side. “Please come inside.”Michael walked inside the apartment and Josephine shut the door before leading him towards the chair to sit.“Actually, I came to see the Boss,” Michael said and Josephine turned to face him. “He has been absent from work for the past few days now and I have not been able to reach him.”Josephine just came to realize that no one really knows what happened to Lucas except her, his friends and the other people present that day. “Uhm...he is not around at the moment. There is something he needs to take care of and I am not sure of when he will be back, but I don’t think it is anytime soon,” she said to him.“That is strange,” M

“You two are completely wasted,” Matilda said and took a sip from her drink. Josephine had brought them to a bar and had instructed the bartender to serve her only fruit juice while they had wine.“You should be happy that we are drinking on your behalf,” Josephine said to her and a wide smile form on her lips.“That is not what I am talking about,” Matilda said with a frown. “How can I send you both home in this state and I cannot leave you here either.”“Why are you in a hurry? I thought we were celebrating,” Candice said and gulped down the remaining content from her glass. “And by the way, I am not drunk, Josephine is.”“Who said I am drunk?” Josephine hit her palm on the table, drawing attention and Candice had to hold her hand down. “This is not my first time drinking.”“But you hate alcohol,” Matilda said. “I am even surprised that you decided to drink tonight. I feel guilty.”Josephine shook her head and said, “I was here the day Brian cheated on me. That was the first time I
