Lucian's PovThis was the part of me that began to feel like a looser, it was a part that I hated. Just when I had decided to tell her everything, I just couldn't understand Naomi anymore. I had started to remember the words of Drek, and it felt like I had made a big mistake, but the truth remains that I was only trying to protect her.And now, I had just seen Alexander Forkado clearly after several months. The truth was, I knew Alexander could not get close to me, but I knew there were high chances that he would want to get to me through Naomi.It was so obvious that Naomi would not be able to fight for herself against Alexander. He was powerful, and he had a lot of bad and dangerous people around him.If there was anything, I needed to warn Naomi to be careful, and just stay in the house for the moment. I knew how dangerous Alexander was. His next move couldn't be predicted.In short, I knew Naomi too well. We had always spoken in the mansion. She would have just told me that she d
Naomi's PovThe last thing I could remember was me taking a sip of the tea that Deluna had prepared. She handed the cup of tea to me several hours ago. As my eyes opened slowly, I could feel a slight pain in my head. Everything seemed blurry at first, I then lifted my head slowly as I looked around. It was Deluna's house.I held my head a bit as I tried to remind myself of all that had happened. I couldn't remember everything though. Just as I sat upright on the bed and looked around, the familiar bottles and potions were still on the shelves carefully placed by Deluna.I looked around and noticed some new bottles that were kept desperately on a new shelf that I hadn't noticed the last time that I was at her house. Just as I was about to put my legs off bed, I heard the beep of a phone close to me, just like a message had just popped in. I looked around, trying to see whose phone had beeped earlier. As I turned to the direction where I had heard the sound earlier, my eyes came in co
Naomi's PovThis was really strange for the reasons that I didn't give my mobile number to anyone, and I wasn't sure anyone in the mansion had my number except for Lucian and Emma.Deluna and I exchanged glances as she nodded her head, encouraging me to answer the call. I stared at the screen again.The room was filled with the sound of the phone. I was still skeptical. I didn't know if I needed to go ahead to answer the call or just decline the call. I hesitated for some moments. I fought with my thoughts. Just as I was about to answer the call, the phone's persistent loud ringtone stopped, and the room was silent again.“Why didn't you answer the call ?,” Deluna asked as she looked at me, her eyes filled with questions.“I don't know, it's a strange number, I just couldn't answer it,” I replied.“That could be someone you know, you should have just answered the call first,” she responded.I sighed as I looked at her. I just didn't know what to say again. With all being said, I had
Alexander PovAfter my arrival at my underground cage, I needed to take some rest and I had to instruct my subjects to make sure everything was intact. We have a bidding to do tomorrow for some of the girls. I had instructed that the girls be treated nicely just for the night at least.“You were given a simple task to do, and then you just messed everything up. " I think it's high time I started replacing every one of you, one after the other, cause it seemed like you aren't useful any longer,” I yelled as I hit some of my workers.“We are really sorry,” the workers said as they knelt down to plead for mercy.“Madonna, I had expected you to put everything in order all by yourself, even if some of them acted this way” I looked at Madonna as she buried her head in embarrassment. “I'm sorry, I was too carried away by the activities of the day, that I forgot to carry out your order,” Madonna replied. I rebuked them one by one, knowing they wouldn't execute my instructions flawlessly wit
Alexanders Pov“You don't mean this Madonna,” I asked as I stared at her. I didn't know if I needed to jump, scream or shout out loud, but of course I couldn't forget that I was unclad, and I couldn't do all of that.I then turned to Laura, who sat on a chair at the end of the room. “You need to look more attractive to men. " You should smile, Laura, there are buyers waiting to see your captivating beauty outside,” I said. I stared at her and I could notice a smile etched on her lips.Change their clothes to something more sexy and attractive, I pointed to Laura and another beautiful girl.Madonna looked at the other girl I had pointed to as she tried to figure out who it was.“Oh Sophia,” you should count yourself lucky today. The boss had specifically pointed out that you both must look beautiful and attractive for tonight.Madonna moved close to Sophia and held her hands before taking Laura as well out of the room.“Oh, what are you all standing here doing,” I yelled at the remai
Lucian's PovI sat on the chair in my room which was placed in front of the mirror in my room as I wondered why Naomi had still not found her way back to the house. I was becoming more worried.Furthermore, I had called her several times after the other time, but she refused to answer her calls. I needed to respect her though, but I still wanted to make sure she got back home safely. Meanwhile, I had sent out some of my subjects to scan the area and make sure that she got to the mansion safely.As I sat on the chair, I could see my reflection in the mirror as it felt like I was having a conversation with my supposed reflection. Honestly, I had started regretting the fact that I had left Naomi out of my life and had hidden a lot from her. I wished that I had listened to Drek earlier.Travis was still in the other room with the guys as he watched them sleep. “Did I still believe in that world where love binds a vampire and a human?” This was a question I had asked myself a million ti
Alexander's Pov“I bring you Laura Hale,” I screamed with utmost joy again as I gestured my hands all over her body, trying to make sure men and women saw the beauty radiating around her. Laura walked seductively again with her heels, making a turn and showing her backside. She moved closer to me before returning to the center stage where I stood.Suddenly, there was silence in the room, no one said anything, and I just couldn't understand what was happening. I didn't understand the sudden silence in the room.Just like this was the worst day of my life. I had expected them to start making a move, but no one was doing so.I looked at Laura, who stood close to me as some beads of sweat had formed on her forehead and she had a ball of tears in her eyes.I knew she could remember all that I had told her back there in the room, and at this moment I stood my ground. If she wasn't sold, I wasn't going to allow her to see her little sister ever. She stared back at me as confusion etched on
Lucian's Pov“I'm so sorry boss, I didn't mean to intrude, it's just that Bruno woke up and called out your name. " It seemed like he really wanted to have a conversation with you,” Travis pleaded, and turned to leave the room.I closed my eyes tightly, realizing that I had just yelled at Travis. He was one of my favorite subjects. I just don't know how everything happened, but I felt bad and remorseful for how I had yelled at him.Naomi called Travis back before he could finally leave the room. “You mean Bruno is awake?” She said, turning her face in his direction. “Yes, he is awake, and he wants to speak to the boss,” Travis said as his words slicked out of his mouth like water. I just stood there, unsure of what to say. I could talk to Travis and, at the same time, I wouldn't even talk to Naomi.“What was really happening? " Why did I need to shout at Travis? Why was Naomi not even listening to my plea?” I thought, opening my eyes again. “Where is he?,” Naomi and I replied a
Naomi's PovLucian had gotten a call from Bruno's brother the next day, and he had accepted that they would give Bruno a befitting funeral, which Lucian had started making arrangements for. He had told his brother to inform their families and friends, including the people that Bruno had worked for. Lucian made sure that he had chosen one of the best cemeteries in the country, and had made sure he was able to buy a building solely dedicated to Bruno for being a hero and saving his life.As Lucian did this, it seemed like he felt a form of unease wash away, and he was able to breathe again. Before this time, he had always felt a pang of guilt and anything he slept. He had always seen Bruno in the dark pleading to him for help, but there was absolutely nothing that Lucian couldn't save him any longer. At times, Lucian told me that there were cases where he had forgotten that Bruno was dead.To fulfill his promise, Lucian made sure that he did everything possible to give Bruno a befittin
Lucian's PovTravis and I had sat down in the sitting room as we talked about the fact that Bruno's brother had started searching for him.He only knew that his brother imported goods from other countries, but they didn't know who exactly he worked for. He had noticed that his brother hadn't been picking up his calls for days, and he decided to search for him.Travis explained that his brother had sat at the building where Bruno used to work to look for him and search around to see if anyone knew the whereabouts of Bruno.He wasn't aware of everything that had happened that night, but he knew that something bad had happened to Bruno.I couldn't hide my sounds as I stared at Travis. I didn't know if it was right to just go ahead and inform him that Bruno was dead, but I didn't know if that was the best thing to do. I didn't know how his brother was going to receive the news, but it wouldn't be nice to watch him all day coming to the building to search for Bruno, even though we knew tha
Alexander Pov“I hope you had a nice time with your sister,” I asked, staring at Laura, who sat in one of the guest rooms.Just as I had instructed Madonna not to take her back to the cages, she needed to be fed well and cleaned well, so that in the coming days she would still look presentable to the buyer. “Yes, I did,” she responded as a tear escaped her eyes. “So why then do you still cry ?,” I asked as I moved closer to her. “I do not want to be sold anymore, I just want to be with my sister,” Laura said as she knelt down beside me. “What's all of this, you do not dictate if you are being sold or not. " I decided that, and nothing or no one counters my word. " There's nothing you can do about it, Laura, you can't change a thing, like I said, but you are here to fetch me some handsome money”, I responded as I stared at her.“I beg you, she is scared, she doesn't want me to leave,” she said as she pleaded for mercy.“I think I made the mistake of making you see her the other nig
Naomi PovLucian opened his eyes slowly as he stared around. He had another nightmare. This had been Constance ever since he got back that night. He had always seen Bruno whenever he slept in pain, crying out to me to help him, but every time he tried to help him, he just disappeared into the air. He sat up on the bed and stared around the room. It was morning again, but I could see how he couldn't stop thinking about all that had happened two days ago. It felt like it was real every time he thought about it.Travis knocked on the door as he walked into Lucian's room, where I stood close to him. He bowed his head as he greeted him before moving close to Lucian. “How are you feeling today master,” Travis asked with a smile on his lips.“I am very much better, thank Travis,” Lucian said, smiling at him. “I am glad you are getting better, sir,” he said with a smile on his face.“What about Marcus?” I asked, turning to him. “Marcus is good too, it's just that he is still a bit too we
Alexander's PovMadonna climbed up the stage majestically as she swayed her waist, seductively revealing her butts to the crowd. She then handed the documents to me on stage.I smiled, looking at Madonna. She must have thought that she was part of the girls that wanted to be sold off tonight,However, I knew her too well. She was indirectly scanning the room for a potential customer that would go down with her after the auction this morning. I grabbed the documents and lifted them up, showing the entire people in the crowd how authentic my document was.They all cheered on as they began to clap their hands loudly, no jokes. They were enjoying it all.I returned my gaze to the buyers again as I smiled, “This document, you should go through it, and sign under the category that you have fallen under,” I said, smiling widely.One of my subjects collected it from me and handed it to the man who wanted to buy Laura and Naomi for thirty million dollars.As soon as he was given the document
Lucian's PovAccording to what Naomi had told me, she had revealed that Travis had struggled to carry me on his back and as soon as he got to the bedroom, he dropped on the bed. Naomi also explained that she was in my room searching for some things when Travis dropped me on the bed. I knew she must have run quickly and held one so tight.It was exactly two hours since I was unconscious. I still laid on the bed without moving my body. Suddenly, I opened my eyes, and screamed out loud as I raised my head.I wasn’t in a coma, but I had still not slept like that for years, and it felt like as soon as my eyes opened, there was something that changed inside of me.My eyes darted around the room and began to pant out loudly. This was exactly when I literally saw the faces of the people that were around me. Most likely, I was able to recognize Travis and Naomi. “You should calm down Lucian,” Naomi said as she moved closer to me.Although I couldn't hear them well, it seemed like I was begin
Naomi's PovI had literally witnessed this every second till the break of the day as I stared at the clock in my room not able to get some sleep through the night. I was worried and I couldn't hide it.I was worried that something bad might happen to Lucian. I was worried that I didn't know what more Lucian was hiding from me. I was worried that Lucian still hadn't healed, and it was obviously a sign of danger.Furthermore, I rolled from one end of the bed to the other part as I tried to sway away the thoughts and get some sleep, but it wasn't just working.Not only that, but I wish I had gone along with them. It had been several hours since they had left the house, but there was no sign of their return. I had walked closer to the glass window in my room several times when I heard the horn of a car around.I had also been calling them several times, but they were not answering their calls. I had wondered how important the issue was that had left them not answering their calls. I had
Lucian PovThe man didn't speak a lot, it was just a few words. Although, I wasn't able to hear it clearly, However, I staggered and the next thing I saw was the man opening the door for Travis and me to get in.Well, I honestly should have been skeptical about the place, but I wasn't. It was just a relatable moment that someone knew there was nothing you could possibly do for yourself. At that point, anything was going to be accepted.As I walked into the room, I noticed that it wasn't just a room, it was something unexpected, just like the frontal view of the building looked ancient, but the inside of the house was a totally different thing.It was different. I couldn't describe it, but was confidently sure that it was different. I could still see even when my eyes seemed blurred at the moment. I also knew it was the effect of the poison that had caused me not to see well.I lifted my hands, as I tried to rest on some of the things around the room so that I would not fall off.I had
Alexanders PovWhat kind of game was this, who was playing games with whom ? I muttered silently as I looked at the man.“Who did you say you want?” I asked as I took a step closer, trying to hear the name he was going to call out again. “I want Naomi Stevens,” he pleaded as he smiled. The people in the crowd stared at me as they wondered what they were trying to say. They had all expected me to go in and get Naomi Steven. I stepped closer, scrutinizing the man. Naomi Steven had been sold to Lucian's Vlod; it was impossible for her to appear here.Yet, my gaze lingered on Laura, standing on the stage, her heart racing. This was a bad day, made worse by this crackpot's claim."I don't understand," I said, my voice firm. "What do you mean?"The man's expression turned serious, his tone aggressive. "You're not listening. Did you not see the records of her sale months ago?"I narrowed my eyes."I'm not blind. " I saw it clearly, the man said as he turned and let out a bark of laughter
