Kyle was holding a mug of coffee in his hand while the other one was gripping his phone. He was taking a look at the architectural designs on the internet. He would stand up for a while and then sit down.When he couldn't get anything pass into his brain, he relented and just rolled up his sleeves, staring at the change of colors in his vein. How was he supposed to survive this? There was nothing that was working according to plan.Drake was trying his best, this was what he understood yet the survival instincts were greater than any other thing. He didn't notice Charlotte's arrival in his office until she was beside him and was staring at his arm. "What's wrong, Kyle?" She asked softly and with a fast reflex, he pulled down his sleeve and turned around quickly. On seeing Charlotte, he frowned but the girl wasn't looking at his expression rather, his once-exposed veins caught her attention. "Why are your veins..." "Miss Charlotte, stay away from me." He interrupted sternly a
"I keep saying it, babe but people think that I am being skeptical or even stupid at first. If only you were there to see the eyes she was giving me...it was more of a witch look like alike. She is pretentious and that is what I can assure you of...fake as well." Isabella ranted to her friend. Babe was sitting with her legs crossed and a drink in her hand. She was propping her neck a bit forward with her hand under her chin, giving it a gentle stroke. "So you are not being jealous?" Isabella scoffed and remove the few strands blocking her view. She put them behind her ears afterward. "Why would I be? I had him all to myself last night and that's enough for me. She was the one who was jealous and somehow challenged me. Can you believe that?" Babe sighed and drank the content from her cup until it was empty. "Well, you brought this upon yourself in the first place. You provoked her so... Uhm... that is the result. However, this is somehow a good thing on your part because you have
"It's okay. You can drop me off here." Babe said with a meek voice. "Yes, ma'am," Eric answered and pressed on the brakes. He parked the car beside the road and unlocked the car. Babe looked at the rearview mirror affectionately and with a flirt in her eyes. "Thank you." "You are welcome."Babe then looked at her friend. Isabella was staring at the window. She had been mad about her friend's choice of a man and refused to speak with her.Babe smiled, "Sweetheart, let's talk when you are done being angry. Don't forget to do as I told you." She winked and exited the office.She later waved before disappearing from their sight. "I believe that we are heading home, Miss Isabella." Eric looked at her through the rearview mirror. She locked eyes with him but hers was spiteful. "Where else are we supposed to head to? A hotel?" Eric blinked and looked away from her. "I am very sorry." "Sorry for yourself." She hissed and later closed her eyes. The ride back to the mansion was si
Jane was dressing up in her room. She had no classes for the day and was less busy. She glanced at her phone when the screen turned on and it happened to have been a message from Charlotte. "I won't be available for now, darling. Please, let's shift the meeting to the evening. I promise to meet you by six pm, okay?" Jake sighed. For the past few days, they had been distant from each other and she didn't like it. Even though she understood why and the reasons were valid...she just didn't like it. So she decided to take another challenge for herself.Jane looked at herself in the mirror and was satisfied with her dress before exiting the room. She met Ruth downstairs and smiled. "Grandmother, hello." "Hello, my dear. How are you? Where are you heading to?" "I am going out with a friend. I won't stay long. I might probably go alone but it's still okay." She answered. "That's good my dear. I am also heading out for a meeting. I was even worried that you would be lonely at home see
Ruth clapped for Jane as she made her way to their front. She was going to try playing the guitar that she bought for them. Isabella was sitting as well with her legs crossed but she pretended not to care, she was scrolling through her phone - the latest entertainment news was very important to her. "Can you at least listen to know what she is singing? She is in the same circle as you." Ruth scolded her and snatched the phone from her hand. "Come on, grandma. She isn't a world-playing artist that deserves so much of my attention." She answered with annoyance. Ruth overlooked it anyway. "Try to lower your pride. It's gonna take you places you have never imagined." The aged woman answered.Jane watched their conversation with a smile and went ahead to sing the song, "HAPPY" by "PHARRELL WILLIAMS" While singing this song, Allen entered the mansion and stopped to look at her.Jane was not aware of his entrance because she was smiling and dancing along while Paul and Ruth vibed a
Hezekiah entered the forbidden building with the rest of the men excluding Allen. He had a sad face on and one could have easily seen that he was unhappy about what was about to happen. The three men stood behind him while watching him get closer to the tunnel. Hezekiah sighed and twisted his fingers as he stared at the blazing tunnel. Why did he have to leave now?Suddenly, the young man turned around with eagerness in his eyes and pulled on the puppy eyes as well. "Can you guys just let me stay with you until I feel like leaving, please? I promised that I would not cause any problems when I came here and I stayed true to my words. I was faithful so for what reason do I need to go now?" He cried out, irritating Kyle who blocked his ears from the deafening sound. "You have been gone for so long, Hezekiah. Everyone will start looking for you now. You need to go back." Drake advised like the older brother that he is. "Yeah. You need to go back so you won't starve." Bert butt in and
Drake was being serious about the work that Allen had given him seeing as he was being defeated in all ways. This was a pain to him, he just couldn't say it. He picked up his journal and a pen to start writing some of the things that he had noted about Jane. The first was that she had a mysterious background and it was confirmed to him that she wasn't a human...that was sealed already. She didn't exhibit any of the supernatural traits and just behaved like a human but she doesn't know anything about herself. The fact that she wasn't biologically related to Bruno only proved his point furthermore. Her hair was suddenly turning red. No one he knew had red hair maybe he was missing something. He feared that if this continued then more of her traits might be coming out in an irregular yet regular manner and it could take them by surprise. That surprise was not what he wanted. To worsen it all, Allen wasn't even helping due to his cold nature but he did notice something about
Jane was inside the cafeteria with her friends, laughing and talking as usual. Mira was telling them about a funny event that she had to pass through a few days back. They were all enjoying the story with the others, not knowing what was about to happen. Erica burst into the cafeteria angrily with her girls. In her hands were pictures and her arrival caused a lot of people to feel scared, surprised, and curious to know what was happening. They watched her walk to where Jane was sitting, she dragged her up and gave her a slap across the room, shocking everyone. One of her friends was holding a camera to record every action. Erica was brimming with anger and no one knew fully why. Mira was stunned and immediately got defensive on her friend's behalf when she was still trying to get herself. "How dare you slap her? What are you doing? Have you gone mad?" She yelled at him. "Hey! Shut the f*ck up! Shut your dirty mouth up! This issue is between me and this b
