Happy new month. Thanks for your support.
Jenna had seen the changes in her son and could tell that he was conflicted. Deep down in her heart, she wanted him to admit the love he felt for the woman he kept staring at. She knew that Caddaric felt nothing for Miranda but to follow the Blade tradition would only bring him misery. The Blade seniors found it interesting. They had no idea that Caddaric had eyes for another woman since he had declared even before graduating that he was going to marry Miranda. Juliet was feeling terrible for Ariana and thought it wise to not say anything, whether good or bad. Marshall and Anna had faith in their grandson and knew that he would make the right decision. Caddaric was indeed conflicted. Ariana’s condition was in a vegetable state and he had to make sure to not upset her. However, he also didn’t want to let his father win. As for the Wreaths, he just hadn’t had time for them. With the information sent to him concerning Miranda from the detective he sent to spy on her, he recalled that h
Ariana was calm and in contrast to the shocked expressions on the faces of those who knew her, she maintained a smile that refused to crack. Her head was still lifted high as Juliet asked, “Were you aware that he was going to marry her?” “No. But he told me to trust him,” Ariana said confidently. She didn’t know what Caddaric was doing but if the only support he needed from her was her trust, she wasn’t going to let it waver, and neither would she be shaken by the storm. Juliet was still perplexed. Perhaps Ariana didn’t know so she asked her, “There is no divorce among the Blades so what are you talking about?” Ariana stiffened slightly but recalling the request Caddaric said he was going to grant after the party, she had undying hope and retorted, “Caddaric is a man of his word. If he says to trust him, then he has a plan so, smile, and enjoy the party.” Anna and Marshall were uncomfortable with the news, especially Marshall who loathed the Wreaths so much. He wondered whether C
“Yes,” Ariana’s voice was almost a whisper but Casper heard it. He stiffened but didn’t pull away from her. “For my son?” There was no change in the tempo of his voice, which made Ariana confused. It was Caddaric’s duty to inform his father but not her. Yet no matter how she looked at it, she wasn’t brave enough to lie to Casper Blade. “Yes.” yCasper was relieved. It seemed that the heavens were on his side after all. He would never allow Caddaric to go ahead with the wedding. Not when he had a pregnant girlfriend. Whereas, he also thought about something and asked, “Then why do you watch him get married to another woman?” Ariana was grateful that the devil wasn’t upset and neither found her unworthy to carry his grandchild. He seemed to rather be on her side. Nevertheless, Ariana would never give Caddaric away. “He loves me and I know that he won’t hurt me. I trust him,” she said calmly. For the first time, Casper was jealous of his son’s choice of a woman. If only Jenna had tru
Junior was holding on to the promise Ariana made before they parted, but Caddaric had told him that Cassandra was there as well so he wanted to dance with both of them but used Ariana’s promise as the entry point. A small boy with a big sense indeed.Casper was quite amazed by the interesting intrusion. The boy reminded him of some of the children at the training academy but his confidence and resilience reminded him of the young Caddaric before he realized that the boy had come with Caddaric since the man stood a little distance away. He hadn’t changed and came back with a cute-looking boy. Casper shook his head at the thought before asking the young man who was walking towards him from the entrance.“Young man, what is your name?” Junior stretched his hand confidently towards Casper for a handshake and Casper honored it. How could he refuse such a wonderful creation?“Junior, and that is my godfather,” he pointed at Caddaric. Caddaric wanted to grant Junior’s wish and went to bring
Casper was unhappy but it didn’t show in his countenance. His eyes roamed the nearly empty hall if not for the table of the Blades seniors, Wreaths, and those Caddaric had brought along. The media was already reporting the news with full enthusiasm but that wasn’t Casper’s concern at the moment.“Don Salvatore isn’t my daughter worth it,” Casper asked calmly. Salvatore was sweating. If he offended this man, who knew what he and his evil son would do to him? From the revelation of the masked man, everyone who thought Casper was a demon sympathized with him because he was made that way by his grandfather. But for Caddaric who had been operating for over a decade, it seemed that he carried evil from his mother’s womb.“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Blade. Your daughter is worth everything but I’m just realizing that Caddaric is the masked man. How can I pin his back to the ground? It’s impossible.” Salvatore was ready to face Caddaric because he didn’t know his skills by then. Now that he know
Caddaric wanted to intervene but then again, Allan was the only contender. He turned around, sighed, and said, “I'll wait for you by the car.”Allan nodded his head and Casper beckoned Allan to follow him. Just a little distance away, Casper turned to face Allan.“What do you do for a living?” He asked calmly, his expression blank. Allan didn’t want to lie to his supposed father-in-law but if Caddaric kept it from his father, then who was he to tell it?“Just as Caddaric said, I work for him for now but if you want details of my abilities, I will give you when I can pin his back to the ground,” he said politely. That is, he had respectfully refused to give the details since he wasn’t sure whether he would be able to win against Caddaric. Casper didn’t dwell on it much because he had planned to pull a few strings to not let Allan marry Cassandra. A guy who infiltrated the Blade Towers was a criminal who shouldn’t have been given a chance.“When do you want to join the academy?” He aske
“I’m sorry Hans, but you have to move on.” Miranda’s unfeeling words stabbed Hansel and he instantly pulled away, looking at her with tear-filled eyes and shock. There was no remorse on her face nor in her tone. Miranda was trained to handle a man who didn’t show emotions. So Hansel breaking down because he was human, she found it irritating. She didn’t know how to comfort a crybaby and couldn’t understand exactly what Hansel was feeling. To be able to marry a Blade family member through an arranged marriage, one had to be unfeeling and Miranda wasn’t any different. Whereas Hansel felt as if he was hearing the most painful words. When Miranda broke up with him before and returned, he thought things were going to be better but this was more throbbing. He expected her to stand and fight for their love but not to give up like it meant nothing to her. “You are going to marry him?” He asked as if he didn’t know who he was talking to anymore. Miranda wasn’t
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat anymore? If you want anything else, I can make it for you,” Caddaric said and asked Ariana, who was feeling like a whale for having eaten so much. Ariana gulped down the freshly squeezed orange juice he made for dessert due to her nausea. The acidity of the juice helped to curb it. Funny enough, whiles he was concerned about her well-being, her mind wandered off to a different world.“Anything?” Ariana asked, drooling over his exposed abs in the singlet he wore. He was in his boxer shorts and that well-sculpted body of his was all Ariana wanted to feast on. She wondered about the physical exercise that must have earned him such a great physique. He had a few scars but proudly showed them off. He was a fighter, a warrior, and an assassin before he became a CEO so scars were nothing to him. He liked that she enjoyed what he made her and wanted to give her more.“Anything for you, Ari,” he closed the distance between them after dropping the unwashed pl
