Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 61
Josephine blinked back at his words as she stared at him, not sure of what to say or how to react. When Lucas took a step closer to her, she took a step backwards and he heard the hitch in her breath.“Are you scared of me now?” he asked, not taking his eyes off hers and there was a hint of sadness in it. “You know I can’t hurt you.” Josephine stared into his green eyes and saw how serious he was. Some part of her wanted to tell him no, that she knows he cannot hurt her and she wanted to hold him, but instead, she found herself asking him, “You don’t want me to leave, why?” her voice was calm this time...but broken. “You pushed me away that night, remember? You didn’t stop me from leaving and so I thought you want me gone. But now you want me to stay? Why Lucas? Am I just a pushover to you?”“I never said that,” Lucas said and took another step. “I am sorry if I hurt you by pushing you away. I never meant to do that.” And it was the truth. He had no intention of letting her leave jus

Things went smoothly for a week and Josephine was already getting used to Lucas around her. It was like he wasn’t giving her any moment to mope around as he would always find her wherever she is. He doesn’t even goes to his room to sleep as he prefers her room. When she asked him, he replied that he sleeps better in her room than when he sleeps in his room and she left him that way. He would always do things to make her happy and give her a reason to smile. He would pick her up after she finishes work in the evening and treat her to dinner at a restaurant. Yes, he already knows she works with Candice. To her, he was like the older brother she never had, the one her mother said will look out for her and won’t make her feel her absence, the one who would stay with her and make the days of her absence look like a twinkle of an eye...the one she failed to give her. Or maybe she did give her.When she got out of bed that morning, Lucas was not beside her. Normally, he would stay till she a

An hour to evening, Josephine was on the couch, staring out of the large glass which divided the sitting room from the patio. Her eyes were on none other than Gabriel and Lucas who sat on the pool chair, chatting away. After all the fun they had, they were finally resting and even Candice was taking a nap. “They both look cool together,” Matilda suddenly said beside her and she moved her gaze away from them to look at her.Smiling at her, she said, “I know right,” and then she returned her gaze back.“Earlier today,” Matilda said and Josephine turned her body, giving her attention, “I saw the way the both of you looked at each other.”“It’s just a normal stare, Matilda,” Josephine quickly said before she would get the wrong idea. “There is really nothing going on between us and I will like to keep it that way.”“You said that the last time we met.” They had met two days after she went back to Lucas apartment and she had explained all that was there to her best friend including the me

Josephine typed on the phone, her finger hitting at the screen and she would smile occasionally. Her friends had left not long ago and now she was left with Lucas who sat at the other side, his eyes on the television screen.Noticing her, he placed his hand on the armrest and asked her, “What is making you smile like a maniac?”Josephine took her eyes away from the phone and looked at him, still smiling. “You can’t understand,” she said and giggled before resuming with her phone again.Just then, the doorbell rang and they both snapped their heads at the direction. Josephine looked at Lucas who also looked at her. “Do you think they came back? Or they forgot something?” she asked, unsure.“I don’t...think so,” he said and it rang again.“I’ll go check who it is,” Josephine said and stood up, moving her feet in a hurry towards the door. Opening it, she raised her eyes to see who it was and the excitement in her died down almost immediately. “Elena?” she called her name and was surprise
Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 65
When morning arrived, Josephine walked out of her room and went downstairs, heading to the kitchen to get a glass of water and it was when she got there that she met Elena who seem to be busy. “Elena?” she called her and Elena turned to face her with a smile. Josephine sniffed the air and peeped at what she was doing. “Huh? You are making breakfast?” she asked in surprise.Elena nodded and said, “I did not know how to thank you for yesterday so I thought of making this for you before leaving.”The other time she cooked, Lucas had scolded her and in the end, threw the food away and Josephine was just realizing how she must have felt back then. She smiled back at her and felt happy that she has changed as she expected unlike the last time where they both had an argument over her junks.“I don’t know if Mr. Gray will allow this, but I really want to appreciate all that the two of you have done by making this breakfast for you. I may not be good at everything, but I can assure you that I

Maybe she should have just listened to Lucas and not allow Elena stay the night and bring this chaos upon them. But how would she ever know that she has something evil against them? Her compassion had moved her and she had thought Elena was gradually changing and won’t end up like Maya, but that was only a bad lie. Now she does not know if he is fine or if he is dying. Who coughs out black blood and pretends to be fine anyway? Only Lucas would do that.“Why would you do this Elena? Just why?” Josephine shot at her, feeling helpless in the situation and her eyes started to brim.“I did this because of you,” she shot back while pointing her fingers at her. “Don’t you see you are the cause of all this? Everything would have turned out the way I want if only he never met you. I did everything for him and yet, he doesn’t even look at me the way he does to you. Always treating you as if you are more important while I am only seen as a maid. Is that fair?”Josephine did not want to believe w

“Nicholas turned recently and I just found out a week ago,” Lucas explained when they were all seated after coming to an understanding. “I had Sullivan monitor him and Trisha to see which one of them would betray me. That night I found you among those two people sent to kill you, the boy whispered Elena’s name to my ear and I knew she had something to do with it. To tell you the fact, Elena was never an honest person. She lied about her mother being sick all the time just so she can make an excuse to get money from me. But I never for once confronted her about it because like you, I also thought she would change. Or maybe she would have if she never met Patton.” And then he also went ahead to explain who Patton was and all that she might need to know. “So you never trusted me all along?” Trisha said, feeling hurt. “If you can be trusted, would you have kept Nicholas secret hidden from me? “How is that my fault? I did that only because he begged me to and because I know what you mig

“So let me get this straight again. Your caretaker put this liquid inside the food she prepared for you and she put poison in your girlfriend’s food. So you knew but did not want to tell her that it is poisoned because you both had a little misunderstanding and because you don’t want her to die, you decided to eat the two portions. To prove what exactly?” a woman in her mid-60s questioned Lucas who laid flat on the bed and she removed the glass she wore before folding it carefully. “It is the power of love, Mrs. Jeda,” Nicholas said with a grin and Raven hit his head with the book in her hand.The woman moved her eyes to look at Nicholas and she clicked her tongue as she shook her head. “It is a pity,” she said. “You people don’t come to visit me but now that you came, you are giving me work to do.” And then she returned her eyes back to Lucas who lay still on the bed. “Ever since you got back, the only way to let me know is by sending Sullivan to me for bags of blood. Am I not worth

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
