Thank you for reading. Do you think Diva is probably wrong to have fallen in love with Allen? What are your thoughts?
"What should we do with them?" One of the men asked after pushing the captives to the front. The man who seemed to be their leader groaned and rubbed his cheeks. He eyed Jane maliciously - she looked totally different and it was now he was noticing her. "Is she a part of you guys too?" He asked Emily. The latter swallowed and blinked with fear. They had just been caught by the palace's powerful vampire guards and another mistake whatsoever could get them killed. "She is a part of us." She answered meekly. "What can you transform into?" He asked Jane. "Huh?" She quickly looked at the siblings for help. She knew nothing about transformation. "She lost her powers a few decades ago. You can ask her this after she has recovered. Don't you see that she looks pale and totally different from what we look like? She is sick and if care isn't taken, she might die. That is why we are trying our best to keep her fragility because we love her." Pan answered this time and Jane looked at him
Ben was about to leave for the company when a black Mercedes Benz drove into the compound. He recognized who it was at first glance and immediately rushed back into the mansion to seek help. "Grandmother is here. Grandmother is here." He shouted and the men made their way downstairs quickly. Drake who was upstairs with Sophia sighed and looked at her. "I will be back." He reinforced the powers safeguarding the room and exited. He was not able to get her to say anything for a while and it was infuriating. Old Madam Ryan and Paul entered the mansion and saw the men already standing close to one another as if they had been visioned her arrival beforehand. She looked at the whole mansion carefully, probably expecting Allen and his wife to come out. She found her way to the couch and sat down. Paul was holding her expensive bag for her while standing behind her. "Have your seat." He said to them. "Grandmother, your arrival this morning is somehow strange. I hope all is well." Ben as
"So are you finally going to talk or you are still being adamant?" Drake asked as he pulled the chair and sat down in front of Sophia. "Where is Allen?" These were her first words in a while. "He went to save his wife," Drake responded with a silly smirk. Sophia quickly became worried. "Jane? What happened to her?" "How did you know her name? Why do you feel so worried about her? Is that why you're here? Because of Jane?" He asked wisely enough while staring at her, trying to get answers from her eyes. Sophia looked away but now is not the moment to be proud as what she had assumed was supposedly true. Jane was missing and so was Allen. If she could at least get the location or what could have happened to her then, she would know what next to do. "Fine. I am here because of Jane, okay? I couldn't sense her presence here anymore." "Why would you be looking for her? Do you probably want to take your revenge on her? Why don't you just face Allen himself and deal with him rather
Eric drove the car into a big entertainment company and parked the car. He turned off the engine and looked at Isabella through the rearview mirror, she had her earphones on and was pressing her iPad. He stared at her for a while before clearing his throat. "Miss Isabella?" He called but received no response. "Excuse me, Miss Isabella." He repeated but she was simply carried away. So Eric had to touch her knee which got her attention. She frowned when their eyes locked and removed the earphones. "What?" "We have arrived." He answered and Isabella looked around. "Oh." She came out of the car, slamming the door a bit with force. She just walked into the company responding solemnly to their greetings while Eric just stood there aimlessly. No instructions were given or anything. "Well..." He exclaimed and leaned against the car. Some girls waved at him and he politely smiled at them before looking away - not wanting to continue or create any false signal of flirting. It took ab
"Why are you back here?" This time, his tone was laced with more danger than ever and his voice became suddenly dry, making him territorial. This attitude could have caused anyone else to waver but Allen wasn't even moved as he leaned against the wall instead and prepared a well befitting response. "Is there any reason I shouldn't be in the first place?" Allen asked. "Don't play dumb with me, boy. I hate nonsense." "We are only a few months older and younger in age so don't treat me as you would treat Hezekiah," Allen answered harshly. He stood straight and rolled his eyes. "In this case, I think you're the one who is scared of me. I concluded that you could have grown a backbone to be able to stand on your own but who knew that you are nothing more than a coward? I am not here for the crown so you can put your mind at rest. I am here for something different and trust me, I won't stay that long. I will leave. However, if the crown will be handed over to me before I leave, I will
A few days later, Hezekiah prepared to go downstairs again. He sprayed himself with his best perfume and looked at himself in the mirror. This wasn't bad. He was planning on trying out his look the best. After he was done, he smiled and gave his reflection a thumbs-up. He had never felt this way before, this girl was the first person to make him this way. That was why he wasn't willing to let go of her.He found himself standing in front of the door and knocked again. Lady Irene opened up this time around. The visits of the prince were quite unexpected these days. The royalty rarely came here. "Oh, your highness. Please come in." She made way for him and he didn't even show any sign of hesitation and just jumped into the opportunity. He looked around as Irene closed the door. "Let me take you around, your highness." She offered. "Of course, please do," Hezekiah answered positively. "I can see that it's been a while since my family or anyone came here to check up on you guys so
Red and Jane were finally done with their work and were taking the rest that they needed. Jane was sitting on her bed and Red was sitting on hers too that was opposite her. They were the only ones inside the room as others were not around. "Is that blood?" Jane asked as she saw Red swirl the content. The latter looked at her and then smiled. "Would you like a taste?" "Nah, I am good." Jane shook her head causing Red to laugh. "So, how exactly do you guys feed? I have read a lot of books that talk about humans as the diet to Vampire feeding." She asked her curiously. Red nodded and put the cup aside. "Yeah..humans are the real prey but we still can get many here that are the minorities but the rules given to us regarding them is to make sure that we don't suck them to death. There is also this interesting term, do you want to hear it?" Red smiled excitedly as she indeed wanted to share it. "I am all ears." "Alright. If a vampire can get a non-vampire to be his
"I know, Allen that I was at fault. I know that I didn't take good care of you but you should understand how rough things were, don't you? I couldn't even focus on my family or anyone else..."Allen hit the table angrily, "I am done listening to this all over again, your highness. Please, like I told you the other day, I am not here for the past and I will soon leave. I don't want to engage myself in whatever this is at all. Thank you for explaining your part." He stood up. "Please stay." The King pleaded. "I have been able to bring everyone closer except you and everyone will be happy to have you closer to them, don't you think?" "Your Highness, I am fine being alone." He walked out of the room and the King sighed. What else was he supposed to do? He had tried every means possible to at least cover up for the past and make up for it but Allen was not taking it lightly. The boy was being adamant. As Allen walked hurriedly to his room, Sky appeared from nowhere and pinned him agai
Hezekiah calmly drank a cup of water before looking up at the curious gazes thrown his way. With a frustrated sigh, he relaxed against his chair and asked them. "What is it?" "Where is Allen?" His father asked. "How am I supposed to know that, Father?" Hezekiah questioned back. "Don't answer my question with a question! I expect an answer." "But you have never cared about his whereabouts before so I don't see any reason why I have to give in answering you right now," Hezekiah responded with a shrug. Festus looked at Zeena and the latter, being the mother, had to nod her head apologetically on behalf of Hezekiah. "Hezekiah, that is rude. This is your father you're speaking to. What has gone into you? Has Allen been influencing you in a bad way?" Zeema lambasted her son. "I haven't been able to find my maid." Diva interrupted with a slight smile, "Does anyone perhaps know where she is? She ought to have reported for duty since but I can't find her..." "I saw her leaving wi
Jane shifted her butt uncomfortably on the chair for what seemed to have been the third time in a row. She was inside the mansion with the rest of the family - everyone's eyes were on her and it seemed that their eyes were trying to go through her skin so they could just discover what it was that they were hiding. The only person who didn't seem bothered was Allen - who was currently on his knees with a downcast expression. Grandmother was walking to and fro with a frown and her brows were furrowed as well. She stopped and looked at her grandson once again. "Where did you go?" She repeated her question. Allen still didn't say a word. He just laid low there. Old Madam Ryan hit him on his back, shocking everyone because it was her first time doing such. She never raised her hands before to hit any of the kids so Ryan automatically became the first. "I am sorry grandmother." Allen let out an exasperated sigh. Drake had tried to come up with lies for him to use but time wasn't on thei
Allen and Jane were standing right in front of them hale and hearty. They were back. They were fully back! Ben stood up and screamed out for joy. This was such a big thing to do. The mood suddenly turned celebratory in an instant because no one was expecting this. Charlotte was so happy. The first person she ran to hug was no other than her friend, Jane. She engulfed her in a tight hug and kissed her all over her face with tears in her eyes. "You're safe! I missed you so much, thank goodness that you're safe"Allen watched the two friends with hawk-like eyes before leaving them alone to their screaming as he was apparently not in the mood to watch them go crazy. Drake smiled and gave Allen a comforting tap on his back. "Was it hard to find her?" He asked. Allen sighed. "She was in my palace all along. Thanks to Hezekiah who had a crush on her, I wouldn't have known. I was about to give up and just come over instead when we met." Allen replied. "Wait, what? Hezek
Jane couldn't sleep the whole night. Her eyes were specifically wide open throughout. Her nervousness had skyrocketed a hundred percent as different thoughts clouded her mind. Was this possible? Ryan was a vampire. A freaking vampire! How could she not have known this? She grabbed her pillow and let out a muffled scream before sitting up again. "How did my life end up like this?" She whispered as she ran her slender fingers across her hair. A lot of things were not making sense to her and she needed someone to explain but not now because it didn't seem as if anyone would want to do so. But she still needed an explanation that would help her. Quietly, she lay on her back, staring at the ceiling that was distant from her. What could be going on in her world? Would anyone be specifically looking for her? She felt so much relieved that Ryan was here but still, she was feeling so much ache that needed explanations about. Finally, the break of dawn made its entry gloriously with Jane's
Back on Earth,Kyle and the rest of the men ahead to have a meeting with Old Madam Ryan after much discussion among themselves. It took them a whole lot of courage to do that. They had to plan their responses like a president having his speech already made because he wants to be revoted. The rumors had started flying around and even the investors were starting to get suspicious as to where Allen could be indeed. They had not seen him for two months because the men kept saying he wasn't around or something prolonged his coming. When they arrived at the Old Madam Ryan's Mansion, they met her sitting calmly on the chair - the sort of calmness before a storm. She had her granddaughter sitting next to her and speaking to her ears, words of comfort. But immediately she saw the men, she sprang to her feet and held Xander by the collar. "What's going on? Where is Allen this instant?" Ben tried to disengage the force with pleas written all over his face. "Grandmother..." "Don'
That same night, Allen found his way to Hezekiah's room. On getting to his door, he stared at it. The boy could sometimes be stubborn and he really didn't see the need for this but Jane had instructed that he go to speak with him. So, here he was. He knocked. "I don't need any visitors. Leave." Hezekiah ordered. "Hezekiah, let me in," Allen replied with less force. He folded his arms and leaned against the wall. After a few minutes, the door was unlocked and opened. Hezekiah looked at his brother with a saddened look and just went back to cuddling on his bed, leaving Allen with the choice to enter or not which he did. "Aren't you going to join the party?" Allen asked him. "What's the essence of joining the party when I am not in a good mood to celebrate?" He mumbled and covered his face with his pillow. Allen nodded acknowledging that. "I don't expect you to apologize nor am I here to apologize..." "There is no need for apologizing. It was a temporary misunderstanding and I
Immediately the door was shut, Jane removed her mask and covered her mouth in shock. Her tears became teary. She rushed towards Allen and touched his face, his eyes, his neck, and then his arms. "It's really you." She said happily and jumped on him excitedly. She burst into tears fully. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to leave the mansion. I am so sorry." She continued pleading while Allen was holding on to her small frame delicately. He was staring at the door for a while before sighing. He wanted to scold her angrily but seeing her current state, he couldn't even bring himself to say a word. He was still angry regardless. Jane didn't mind that he didn't say a word. As long as he was here, she knew that she was going home. Allen groaned and slowly let her down instead. Jane was holding his hands tightly as if he would disappear the next minute. Her face quickly became swollen within a few minutes. "You... you're a vampire." Jane stammered as she looked at his hands and then his f
But what he saw was simply an illusion because his hand passed through the image which shook a little bit before turning into vapour. This caught him off guard especially when he heard claps coming from behind. "I wasn't wrong about you after all," Calisa said as she increased her clap. She was seated on something invisible high up but soon it started to lower itself until it got to the ground level. Calisa then stood up and approached Sky. "You looked so desperate to save him earlier so why the current look at me?" "You have him with you." "As you can see, yes. I intend to have a little bit of fun with him before releasing the lifeless child." "I swear Calisa if anything happens to him..." "What will you do huh? What will you do? Don't you think that it's ridiculous for you to threaten me? You sent your boy to my place! My place! Did you forget the rules?" "I didn't send him to your place. I only instructed him to..." Then it dawned on Sky that Simon must have followed Allen
Charlotte shifted slightly on the bed because of the uncomfortable position that she had put herself in but that was enough to wake her up. She opened her eyes, groggy and confused, as the morning sunlight streamed in through the window. It was then she noticed that she wasn't the only person in the room.Kyle was standing close to the window shirtless. The morning breeze blew his soft hair, making her feel incredible to have seen this scene. Remembering what happened last night between them, she became slightly worried that he could have changed his mind. So she called out for him, "Kyle."The latter who seemed to have been in thoughts jolted back, he blinked and immediately turned around to look at her. Her hair was rough - as rough as a bird's nest and her face was red too. The gown she was wearing was entirely exposed in the open as the gown's strap had fallen to the arm exposing half of her breasts. Charlotte was not aware of this as she was more concerned about Kyle's new atti
