"Don't call me that." Loreen 's face puckered, and she viciously glanced at him. She adjusted herself on the couch and leaned back comfortably."I am sorry. What should I dress you as then?" Alex closed the laptop on his desk and fixed his gaze on her. "Loreen ." Loreen opened one of her eyes and peeked at him. Her face grimaced in irritation and she leaned her head back on the couch."Okay, Miss Loreen ." Alex smiled at her and darted his eyes around. 'Gosh, this is so awkward. Babysitting a nineteen-year-old,he shook his head and raised his eyes to glance at her, only to see her staring at him with a menacing grin on her lips "Anything," Alex asked as his eyes blinked in confusion. This girl was creepy. Why was she staring at him like that?"Nothing." Loreen shrugged, and a half-smile formed on her lips. "Are you married?" She crossed her arms and asked with an arched brow.Alex's eyes fluttered in bewilderment, and he slightly shook his head. "Um... No, I am not." "I see..." Lore
Adrik's face puckered, and he made a call to the attendant on the last floor. "Where is Alex?" His husky, cold voice resounded through the phone, startling the attendant.The attendant's eyes fluttered, and she brought the telephone away from her ear. She stared at it for a moment and placed it back on her ear. "I am sorry, boss, but Mr. Alex left the building a few minutes ago." She flickered her lashes and replied with a slightly shaky voice."I see..." Adepe took a deep breath and proceeded to speak once again. "Make a call to him and tell him I request his presence here in ten minutes." He dropped the telephone and let out a low breath once again. He slightly lowered his head and pinched between his brows. He's been having this feeling of unrest within him since early this morning. It was as if something huge would happen sooner or later. His feelings always told him when shit was about to happen."Is... everything okay?" Loreen abruptly asked, causing him to look over and see her
A wide living room with a long diamond chandelier hanging on the ceiling that emitted a luminous light came into view the moment they stepped into the house. In the middle were two long sofas facing each other with a glass table in-between. In the end, there stood long, wide stairs that led upstairs.Adrik's eyes glanced around, and with his hands shoved into his pocket, he walked towards the stairs. He had just gotten close and was about to place his right foot on the first step when a butler scurried towards him and stood in front of him, preventing him from moving forward."I am sorry, sir, but you cannot move any further." The butler said and lowered his back. "Please allow me to make your presence known to my master first."Adepe lazily decreased his eyes and glanced at the butler. His face darkened, and he said with displeasure in his tone. "Get out of my way!" His voice startled the butler, but the butler adamantly stood on his spot, not showing any sign of moving.Adrik's frow
"I don't know what you are talking about." Vlad leaned back in his seat and his brow creased in displeasure."I see..." Depressed his two hands together at his lips and narrowed his eyes at Vlad. "If this is about the crystal eyes, your descendants will go extinct, and trust me, they will. This is a warning." He grinned and stared at him with threatening eyes.Vlad's face darkened, and his pitch-black eyes turned a shade of red. He shut his eyes and took a long, deep breath, then opened them, and a smile that didn't reach his eyes emerged on his lips. "I do want my heritage back, but burning down your company is quite an act of childishness for the kind of person I am, and I believe you should know that, considering how you have known me for hundreds of years." He smiled at Adrik, and his eyes narrowed viciously. "I will get my heritage back, but in a different way." A low breath escaped his nose and he sipped from his glass of red wine.Adrik's eyes decreased into a thin line and hi
"Humph!" Rita rolled her eyes and a deep scowl emerged on her face.Loreen smiled widely and walked closer to her. "I want you to repeat what you said before." She grinned at Rita with her eyes narrowed into a thin line and placed her hands behind her back.Rita fluttered her eyes in bewilderment and scrutinized her from head to toe. She slightly shook her head, and a smirk made its way to her lips. "What? You think I am-" She had just parted her lips to speak, but a hand suddenly grabbed her fiercely by the hair, and before she could anticipate what would happen next, her forehead was furiously banged on the steel counter, followed by crazy laughter. The maids stared at Loreen , who was still slamming Rita's head on the counter, with dilated eyes. Their jaws fell, and they gazed at her face, which held a wide, wicked grin. What in the world are they witnessing? This girl is crazy! She is insane!Rita's head, which was continuously being slammed on the counter, became bloody, and lin
Loreen picked up a cup of water from the table and drank it to digest the spoon of food she had just chewed. She dropped the cup back on the table when she was done and turned to look at Selena, who had a sweet smile on her search pink lips. She scrutinized her from head to toe, and her brow arched. She gazed at Selena for a while, and her brow creased. She shrugged and turned her head to continue eating her breakfast.Selena's face turned ashen at how Loreen ignored her completely after assessing her from head to toe, and her eyes fluttered in bewilderment. What does this human brat take her for? Or is she mute or something? Her face grimaced, and she folded her hands and then cleared her throat to grab Loreen's attention. However, Loreen burped again and continued to gobble down her food as though she had no idea that someone was standing beside her.Selena's blood boiled in anger, and her face turned a few shades of red. She bawled her fist in a rage and coughed loudly to make s
Adepe drew back, smiling warmly at her. He leaned down a bit and kissed her on the forehead. His eyes stared at her and suddenly narrowed into a thin line when his nose twitches violently. "Little wife, was someone here?" He gazed at her with a creased brow.Loreen shrugged and lazily blinked her eyes at him. "A lady was here a few minutes ago." She stared at him with an arched brow, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes.Adepe s' brow furrowed deeper, and he sniffed once again. He darted his eyes around and turned to Loreen. "Can you describe her looks to me?" A half-smile that didn't reach his eyes made its way to his lips and he looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.Loreen shrugged once again and turned away from him with an expressionless face. "Red hair, a body to die for, and gray eyes." She said this leisurely and began to walk towards the elevator.Adepe 's face darkened, and his hands unknowingly balled into a tight fist. He shut his eyes and yelled within himsel
His face darkened and his green eyes, which were slowly changing to a different color, stared down at her with different emotions, especially anger, visible in them. "I don't care, you are going to that party wi-""I won't!" Loreen spat out and viciously glared at him. "Take your filthy hands off-!" She hadn't finished her sentence when Adepe 's balled fist abruptly slammed into the wall, near her head, and lines of crack appeared on the wall."I said you are going to that party with me!" His eyes, which had turned completely golden, glared down at her as though they would burn her, and he punched the wall once again. "Damn you!!" His grip on her wrist tightened, causing Loreen to wince in pain. "You're hurting my wrist." She looked up at him with little tears in her eyes."Why do you hate me!? What in the world am I doing wrong to you!? Have I ever mistreated you!? Have I ever disrespected you as my wife!? What the fuck is It!? What the fucking hell is it!? His breathing became unste
