Mr. Shaw didn't answer me. But I don't need an answer because I know everything "I still have a few questions."He nodded slightly while looking at me with a slightly worried expression."If you don't hunt humans anymore ... then how will you survive?""Blood bank, we have connections working there. They supply human blood every few weeks."The fine hairs all over my body bristled slightly when I heard his answer. The expression on his face seemed to grow colder even though it looked like he was trying to hide it."We mix it with Wine to disguise it." He added in a slightly irritated voice. I remembered the crystal wine bottle that was in his house at that time, the color was indeed darker than the usual wine color. My stomach churns a little when I think about it."So you don't hunt humans anymore." I repeat to myself. It is not dangerous.Of course, you idiot, He's already helped you several times, I thought angrily to myself."But we still have the instinct to hunt humans." That se
i stopped when i heard a feminine voice chuckling. it took me two seconds to convince myself that this voice wasn't just my hallucination.i know he's in manhattan for a friend's office wedding for at least two days. eric still gave me a report whenever needed but he didn't tell me the wedding was being held at this hotel.the voice sounded closer. i can also hear miss morrel's voice talking. the last time i met her in person was 3 months ago, we passed each other in front of a wine boutique when i visited san francisco. of course she didn't recognize me then because i had erased her memory, she didn't even look at me.the bellboy standing in front of the restaurant gave me a questioning look but i ignored him. slowly i turned my body back to stare into the restaurant. he was just sitting at one of the tables across from me. her two amber eyes met my gaze even though she was talking to miss morrel, i don't know since when she looked at me. for a moment i couldn't take my eyes off of h
"What are you looking at?" Lana's question made me turn to her. She followed my gaze towards the door of the restaurant."It is nothing." I smiled at het.I know the possibility of meeting him in Manhattan. It's just that seeing his head on like this, even though we're quite far apart, still makes my heart beat wildly.The last time I saw him was 3 months ago in San Francisco. Of course I was very surprised because I didn't think He would come back after our last meeting one year ago at the hospital. Then I remembered that Nicholas Shaw also had acquaintances in that town.At that time I forced myself not to look at him because of my surprise. We only passed each other for a few seconds but I could feel his intense gaze on me whereas I could only see his back as he turned around.Now, seeing him again in this place in person made my throat constrict. Nicholas Shaw still looked as handsome as I could remember. He wore a blue striped suit and a white shirt. This time I couldn't take my
Lana opened her mouth to reply but no sound came out of it. "You lie to me." Greg's voice still sounded angry, but she didn't snap at him. "This time I won't let you run away again, do you understand?" the sentence sounded like a threat.Lana looked at him with a panicked look, "Let go of me.""Not this time. You and I still have unfinished business. And we'll be talking about it all night." He answered while walking towards the exit, He was still holding Lana's arm. I couldn't help but gape when I heard what he said."Hey, wait a minute ... " I called while trying to chase them both, "Mr. Shaw! What are you doing?" But Greg didn't stop at all, he didn't even look at me."Lana! What happened?" I almost catch up with them, Lana turns to me, her panicked face makes me feel angry. "Mr. Shaw!" I almost screamed in the middle of the road. But he just walked past me as if he didn't see me, they walked to the car park next to the hotel while Lana was still trying to release his grip.Half run
My heart started pounding really hard inside my chest "Mr. Shaw?" My voice trembled slightly when I called him. But no answer from him."Mr. Shaw?" I repeated frantically. My feet walked aimlessly in the darkness, bumping into something several times."Nic-Nicholas?"Something touched my shoulder suddenly making me scream as I jumped backwards, one of the heels of my shoe hit something that made me almost fall. But a pair of arms grabbed my waist and pulled me into a very familiar embrace."Sshhh ... It's me." His soothing voice rang next to my ear. My heart was still pounding hard in my chest, without realizing it my hands tightly hugged him back."I thought you were-""Sshhh." He hugged me tighter, the smell of his perfume mixed with his signature smell made me a little calmer. He is here, not that man."Forgive me." He muttered while stroking my back to calm me down. We stood in that position for a few minutes until he finally released me. I'm a little grateful that it's dark, at l
I changed into one of his shirts that were too big for me, the hem of the shirt dangling two inches above my knees. The smell of detergent and a bit of perfume still stuck to the shirt I was wearing. I left the bedside candle burning, after the attack I haven't slept with the light off again in the past year. The big and comfortable bed made my tiredness after all day appear quickly, five minutes later I was asleep.***I heard his gasping breath in the darkness, "Shut up you bastard."His masked head was inches in front of my face whispering the words again, "Silence."I wanted to scream, but my voice caught in my throat. One of his hands touched my belly which was covered with a towel. "Stop ... " my tears came out along with my sobs. "Please, stop."His cold and rough hands moved slowly up and down, I closed my eyes and then I pushed his body that was pressing on me with all my might. He suddenly wrapped his other hand around my wrists, gripping me so I wouldn't struggle. "You will
"Go?" I repeated a little in disbelief. He asked me to leave?'Or stay with me. Whatever you choose you can't do it halfway. If you decide to leave, I will make sure we never meet again. But if you decide to stay ... " his voice turned deeper, "There is no turning back." for you."You are mine."My heart pounded harder when I heard his last sentence. He sounded really serious when he said that. "What will happen if I stay?" I asked."You are mine." He repeated with a slightly cold intonation. "I will hunt that woman, and will not rest until I have killed her.""You-killed her?""I will kill all who threaten what is mine, Eleanor." he answered seriously. "And if you become mine, I will never let you go again even if you beg me." he said before walking towards the door "I'll give you a week."His voice still rings in my head even after he left the room. I understand the reason behind his cold attitude towards me. He didn't want to influence my decision, or rather ... He didn't want me t
"Are you ready?" he asked, buttoning the number two top button of his shirt. A strange feeling came over me when I saw him. Currently we are in his room, He just put on his shirt while I just put on my dress in his bathroom. We almost seemed like a normal couple, and I really liked this new feeling.I opened the bathroom door wider and stepped out. "I need your little help." I muttered as I turned my body back to him, "My hands can't reach the zipper."For three seconds that seemed very long to me there was no answer from Nicholas, until finally I heard his footsteps approaching from behind me. One of my hands tugs at my hair and tucks it over one side of my shoulder so it doesn't get in the way of the zipper.I hear the sound of his breathing from behind me, my heart beats a little faster as his hand lightly touches my skin. Then slowly, very slowly, Nicholas tugged my dress up. One of his fingers brushed against my skin the whole time he did it. My heart was pounding so uncontrollab
