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

    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

    Sullivan arrived at Trisha’s apartment as his master’s order and went inside. Earlier when he was still at Patton’s house, Lucas had signaled to him to go and make sure that there was no intruder in the house since all his family are already gathered in one place, in case Patton already had his plans ahead of him. On getting inside, he met Nicholas sitting and he looked around where he didn’t see anyone else.“Sullivan?” Nicholas called his name and asked, “Where is Lucas?”Sullivan went to meet him and said, “Master Gray sent me here.”Nicholas stood and asked, “Did everything go well at Patton’s?”“Actually, Patton was going to make a deal with Master Gray, but I don’t think he will agree to it. If he returns, he is going to tell you everything in details,” he said and looked around again before looking at Nicholas. He asked, “Are Miss Trisha and Miss Josephine inside?”“Yes. Trisha is asleep, but Miss Josephine is not inside at the moment. What is this about?”Sullivan hesitated a

    Lucas drove in the street, his red eyes scanning everywhere for any sign of Josephine with his hands firm on the wheel. After taking turns and looking around a bit more, his ears picked on a scream and he looked at the wall that blocked his view from the other side. Turning the car around, he swerved into the alleyway and just in time before the guy in black would plunge the knife into Josephine, he turned on the light full on and stepped out of the car. His eyes fell on Josephine and he didn’t like the state she was in. Moving his eyes to look at the two guys, he said to them, “Your foolish master sent you on a mission to die and you obliged like the fools you are. Let’s make this easy. I will give you both two options. One, surrender and I will let this slide. Two, choose the first option and you die.”The two men looked at each other and even Josephine couldn’t believe that Lucas was actually leaving them with no choice with a twist of his words. At least she was glad that he arriv

    Josephine felt her heart flutter and she blinked, looking at him and Lucas eyes fell on the side of her neck. He pushed her hair to the back, revealing her skin and his fingers grazed it lightly, sending shivers down her body. He leaned in and whispered against her ear, “Let’s do that then.”Josephine’s eyes rose, not expecting him to agree with her now all of a sudden and she suddenly felt icy shivers in her body.Lucas pulled his head back, looking at her face and he said, “But before that, let’s get you treated.” With that, he made her sit by guiding her body and he sat on the stool before holding her arm again. Josephine could see a different expression on his face now, something that told her he was about to do something evil as he had a smirk on his face. When his thumb brushed again the place she had been cut, she winced and squint her eyes. Seeing a smile appear on his lips, she asked him, “Did you do that on purpose?”“Did I?” Lucas asked her back and the next thing he did w

    Josephine touched her neck, her fingers moving up and down and a small smile appeared on her lips. She still remembers the way Lucas tongue on her neck made her feel and it sent butterflies down her stomach. She has never felt as crazy as that but she can admit she loves it. Even Brian never made her feel that way when they were still together and for the first time in a while, she was glad that she didn’t end up with him. Being aware that she woke up late, she knows that Lucas would have gone to work. Getting herself out of bed, she undressed and went to the bathroom to have a bath. When she was done, she stepped out of the bathroom, humming with a smile and ready to put on her clothes when her phone rang. She stopped humming and walked to the side of the bed before flipping her phone over and she saw that the caller is Mrs. Lewis. She answered the call and greeted, “Good morning mother.”“Morning Josephine. Are you good?”“Yes mother,” Josephine replied and asked, “Is there somethi

    Lucas sat in the board meeting with other shareholders and he stared straight ahead at one particular person in the room. If his eyes could burn, the individual would have roasted by now and the person is none other than Patton.Everyone waited for him to speak regarding the discussion they were having but instead of replying to them, he said, “Michael? Why don’t you take over from here?”Michael who was busy reading something from the file in his hand suddenly looked up when he heard his name and he blinked at Lucas. Since he was standing beside him, he leaned closer and called in a low voice, “Boss?”With a look of irritation, Lucas pulled Michael’s tie and said to him, “You have been working for me for over four years now so you should already know how I think and how I respond. If you don’t take over now, submit your resignation letter by the end of the day and I will gladly sign it.”Lucas let go of his tie and Michael adjusted it before straightening himself and looking at the p

    Brian had just had a hectic day looking for a job while using Mrs. Lewis name to gain favor but none accepted him while some even had to drive him out when he insisted that he needed the job and started causing a scene when he got frustrated. On his way back home, he started to think about the bills they would have to pay by next month and he knows he has to get a job as soon as possible so as to sort some things out. He stepped out of the car when he got back and stood there for some seconds. He pulled his tie and let out a frustrated sigh before going inside.As soon as he stepped inside, he was greeted with loud music, smell of cigarettes and Maya’s friends singing and dancing along to the music with nylon wraps lying around on the ground and Brian felt anger starting to build up within him. Shutting the door with a bang, they all stopped and turned to look at him.“Oohhh! The hubby is back!” One of Maya’s friends announced and Maya took the remote to reduce the volume before going

    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
