Scarlett's POV: I unconsciously dropped the picture on the floor then turned to the boss of whom I had no idea when he got in. I nervously held the hem of my dress while his eyes were focused on the crashed frame on the floor. I exhaled sharply trying to stop myself from trembling visibly. He didn't say anything instead he stepped in and closed the door behind him. His eyes were still on the picture." Where did you take the picture? Did you go through my things?" I shook my head negatively and surprisingly he gave me a light nod as his reply, he then walked towards it, closed to where I stood and then he picked up the frame. I gulped hard the moment I realized the mess I caused. The cracking was worse than it was before. I honestly didn't know what to do at this moment." Stupid bitches,"He trudged past me going to sit on the bed. His eyes still glued to the frame. As I internally panicked while I silently watched him.For a moment, I thought he was probably trying to sympathize wit
Scarlett's POV: " Oh my God! you really don't know?" I asked, amazed by the ridiculous remark my boss had made before now. Focusing on the road, he shrugged his shoulders with a tiny smile that refused to reach his eyes." Sam was like a family to the company and the employees, tell me you don't mean it when you said you barely know his family, they had shown up the last time we went to the resort, "" That doesn't mean I'm supposed to rub my face at theirs every second simply because they're Sam's family," He argued with slight annoyance, which I was able to identify." Literally... It's bad! I mean... How can you not know?"" Okay Scarlett! You're making this seem like a crime which obviously isn't. What's your big deal with him anyway," he scoffed.Okay! This was weird. I knew I hadn't been a hundred percent sure he would tell me why he barely knew things about Sam but that statement which slipped out of his lips was something I didn't expect either. It was as if Sam's death didn't
Scarlett's POV: Minutes turned into hours and the day turned into night, a cold night with Sonia sound asleep. Zelda and I had tried to get her to sleep even though it was quite difficult doing so. I couldn't watch her tears up and hurt herself, the burden on her was just too much, and somehow I was able to feel what she was passing through and I could tell how hard it was.Zelda returned into the room with Mike behind her. He had a tray set up with meals for Sonia who looked like someone who wasn't ready to wake up yet, I didn't blame her for it, she was beyond stressed and a good rest was something she really needed. Mike walked up to the bed and placed the tray of meals down. He took his seat on the bed and stared into her pale face. I could see the obvious sympathy in his eyes and I could tell how curious he was." What did she say?" He asked, staring at me." A lot," I responded with a crestfallen face." Did she say anything about Sam?"" Of course she did, he's the reason why
Scarlett's POV: I reached out to the window before pinning it close and moving the curtains sideways. The night was really going to be a long but cold night for everyone. The weather had changed from its cold temperature to a higher level of coldness that I was unable to comprehend.I was currently slumping in my baggy pajamas with a cool white cardigan that helped to absorb the sudden cold. Apparently, I was still in the same room as the boss Martinez. His suit to He precise. He didn't let me go back to my room saying he wanted to spend a night with me, which I suspected and wondered, I mean... Why would he? After all he didn't like me, but whatever the reason may be, I think he was only doing this to increase the rate of my punishment." You should eat your food before it gets cold," he said pulling his shirt over his head, revealing his well built physique along with his incredible tattoos which I was unable to describe, right now, words cannot express how it looked, he was just...
Scarlett's POV: He leaned down, grabbing hold of the woman's dress and tearing her skin with his elongated teeth. Her blood splashed across my skin. I screamed in fright as I struggled to get back on my feet. The monster in disguise growled loudly as it began to make its way towards my direction, I cried and yelled out for help but not a soul was available and just then I felt its giant hand hitting me real hard that I fell to the floor. I wailed in pain and turned around to see the monster close to me. It had its hand gripping my shoulder and before I could think of anything else, I felt its teeth bore into my neck. I unconsciously snap my eyes open, breathing more than usual. It was all a dream, another nightmare. I sighed in relief as I sat up on the bed. My head began to ache and I felt my temperature rising. I looked around the room and figured that I was still in the boss' room, I might have fallen asleep without even knowing, I looked over at the boss and found him sleeping pe
Scarlett's POV: It came again with full dominance. I couldn't get myself together as I yelled in pain and anger. The pain increased. I didn't know what to do. I saw it coming towards me in preparation to devour the remaining parts of me, I yelled for help but there was nobody, not even a soul to help me out. I saw the monster raising his hands above him as his fingers like blades lengthened. His mouth parted and his red eyes stared down at me. " Let me go!" Even without a single strength in me, I managed to voice even when I knew he was going to kill me before I got the chance to lay a finger on him.His eyes darkened as he let his finger pierce into my skin. Ahh! I felt a liquid substance pouring out of me, both from my mouth and the spot he stabbed me. The pain I felt was unexplainable, unbearable and I felt like I was going to lose my life anytime from now. Looking at the monster, I saw satisfaction in his eyes, and consumption was yet to be fulfilled..." Scarlett?" I heard a fam
Writer's POV:Was lust a trial of love or a game for the heart? Besides, who said love at first sight was really something one should believe in? wasn't that just a saying of the famous philosopher who spoke from his past experience and wanted people to believe that something of such do exist? wasn't love just a diagrammatic shape which some referred to as the heart while others referred to it as the shape of love?But if the saying concerning the existence of love was true, does that mean that he was already in love or just falling in love?Those were the thoughts that courses his mind.Without thinking any further, he pulled his car over and climbed out of it, staring at the white house that entailed the maids buzzing around like bees, the loud jamming of the gate behind him nearly startled him. " Luis!" His name rang out and looking further, he saw a short fat but curvy lady making her way towards him. A dirty smile on her face as she swung her hips side to side just like she usua
Scarlett's POV: I applied my lip balm, brushed my hair then grabbed my purse. Checking myself out in the mirror, I noticed the slight redness in my eyes making it obvious that I had been crying before now. Why won't I? When all things weren't going as expected. My mom was traumatized over her pestering boss while I worked for months without getting paid. I mean how do we get to pay our bills? How do we even survive this?The ping of my phone got me back to reality, I checked to see a message from the boss saying he was already waiting outside. My blood rose the instant I read the message, my heart felt like it flew out of my chest and my body felt like it was paralyzed.One thing immediately hit me. What if I tried to convince him? To at least spare me this once. Yes! I would do it.It wouldn't be that bad, would it?As I tried to calm myself down knowing I would be going to face my boss, my door abruptly swung opened and guess who walked in? Max!" Hey,"I rolled my eyes and scoot

I watched them carry her body away. Shock still overwhelmed me...my mother was dead? Max was wounded too. Where was Cage when they needed him...he fucking promised that he would look after them...he promised me.My teary eyes roved over to him, he was on one kneel, his eyes exhibiting sadness and regrets. " You promised me,"Cage shook his head vigorously, trying to explain what happened; " Scarlett... please..."" You're a traitor. How could you break your promise, how could you let my mom die? You fucking bastard! I hate you so much,"I yelled, slapping him multiple times across his face. I saw Hermie came over to me, her anguish face and eyes glaring down at Cage." He doesn't deserve you, you've suffered too much just by staying with him. He doesn't deserve an angel like you, can't you see how he's hurting you? Can't you see that he's your rival? You need to fucking reject him as your mate before the worse happens,"Hermie's words dug into my heart. She was only making it worse fo
Scarlett's POV: " Sausages?" I took the wrapped sausages and kept it inside the brown leather bag." You guys sure need water also,"Jessy handed me two bottles of water and I didn't hesitate to keep them inside the bag. Today was the day Talon and I were going to Validon. He had told me that to get there was going to be a long journey, five days to be precise. So I thought packing a few things would help. I thanked Jessy before heading out. Thankful that I didn't have to bump into Miriam. Talon was already waiting outside along with Gray whose face depicted worries but it seemed to disappear the instant he saw me. " Here, let me help," Talon, as the gentleman he was, collected the bag and hung it over his shoulders." Scarlett, don't you think it's a good idea to cover up a little? The weather there is a quite harsh and also we'd be bumping into a lot of perverts,"Talon told me. I looked down at my dress, I wore a top that I tucked into my high waist skirt which stopped just at
Micage's POV: Damn her! She loved him? She loved Jones and not me? I scoffed, how pathetic. I know I tried a lot not to let the pain reflect but my efforts weren't working because I could feel the way my heart squeezed brokenly, I was so heartbroken. How can she choose him over me? How the fuck did he even get here? I owned the place yet no fucking person except Miriam had told me about Jones. Shit and that was when I lost it. The way Miriam had described to me what she saw them doing, I nearly thought they were going to have sex. But now I do know that I no longer matter. Scarlett had undergone a lot of changes that I cannot deny and so did I. This love of a thing was really making me too weak...very weak and I fucking didn't like it.Why does it seem like she was the stronger one and I'm the weaker one that craves for her love all the time. Is it because I'm suffering from the lack of our intimacy?Of course, that was how things worked. The female mate never got to feel the pain f
Scarlett's POV:" I didn't know because I found it quite difficult these past days to connect with her. I've also noticed some changes in me whenever I try to mind travel. It's as if I am slowly beginning to lose my powers. I thought they were normal changes...but now I don't think it is anymore and sure I could have felt her pain when she lost the baby,"Talon uttered, face palming his face in terror. He shook slightly." What do you plan to do now, Talon?"Talon said nothing for a moment but after a brief silence, he endured and silently whispered; " I'd just let it be. I'm not the only one this would happen to. It'd expected it to be difficult because she wasn't really carrying a human child, infact, the late baby could overpower her if he becomes too strong for her. Vampire babies are like rocks so...I don't know,"" Isn't there a solution or something? Perhaps you can get back to her and tell her the entire truth,"" Scarlett, I can't. Think of how her reaction would be, I may ev
Writer's POV:Diego pressed his lips into a thin line, giving Maya the most challenging look he could muster. " The two guys outside ended up dead, you kidnapped the other poor guy's sister...what a legend you are Diego,"Diego let out a throaty chuckle. " You can say that again. I am indeed a legend. So what now? You'd come with me to Dondania, will you?"For a moment, Maya wondered. How would she feel going to Dondania with Diego when she had a lot of ' finding Scarlett and murdering her soon enough' plan to work on?" I'm good,"Diego didn't protest. He could handle the remaining taka himself now. The very moment they had left the warehouse, Diego had left a note, telling his secret investigators to head to Dondania and begin their search. The secret investigators were the source he used for his findings and dirty works. Those investigators were the ones who had kidnapped Jessica on the command of Diego. Diego had his own power and authority, he had his little clan which was inf
Writer's POV: Diego returned back to them, Maya and Cassandra. His face turned into one of horror as the two awaited the bad news they expected." I can't find him," Diego spoke." Damn it! Where the fuck did he go?" Maya yelled, throwing a furious punch on the table in which a jar stood, in the cause of punching, the jar fell to the floor and shattered into pieces." Jones is weak, I'm sure he wouldn't have gone too far if he tried to escape,"Cassandra interfered, wearing the same angry look on her face.Just when they thought they would finalize their plan with the help of Jones, he had decided to disappear...they suspected that he had escaped and if truly he had done so then why did he do so? There was no right answer to that." Diego, you go after him. Search the whole damn city and see if you'll find him. I'll head back to Baridona now..."" Baridona! You can't, you'd die outside,"" Then what the fuck do you expect me to do?" Maya yelled, shooting her glare at Diego. " Didn't
Scarlett's POV: " You've killed him," Cage pulled out the knife. His gaze met mine and he gritted his teeth so hard that I heard it; " He was flirting with you,"He answered me with no shame...no regret. How worse could he even get?" You cheated on me Cage and it's not once, not twice but several times, what is wrong with you? Why do you always like to crush my heart like it's nothing..."I had no more words to say to him. I cleaned my teary eyes and went back to Jones, his chest bled profusely, he wasn't groaning anymore, he wasn't even breathing and at the back of my mind, I was thinking he was dead. I hadn't noticed that Miriam had left the room before because now she returned in with the least person I expected to see, Gray." Oh shit!" He dashed towards us, not sparing either Cage and I a glance. " I need something cold, Miriam, could you get me one?"Miriam left and returned immediately with an ice bag. Gray took it from her before pressing it against Jones' bleeding chest.
Scarlett's POV:" What is happening to her? Is she going to be alright?"Max's voice grew high pitched, his worrisome yet surprising eyes met with mine. Mark, Talon and Miriam were the ones attending to my mother. I suspected Miriam to be a vampire also because she and Mark were the ones doing most of the work. Talon came to me and pulled me into an embrace, calmly patting my hair.My Mom had gone unconscious because of me. She was always getting hurt because of me. If I had known this was going to happen then I wouldn't have said a thing. Now look what I've caused.I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if something bad should happen to her. I cannot bear to see her hurt because of me... again." It's nothing serious. She's simply stressed, I bet she hasn't been getting enough of sleep but you don't need to worry, she'll be okay before you know it,"Miriam spoke. Mark nodded in agreement." Perhaps it's best if she sleeps for the meantime without anyone disturbing her. It'd help to imp
