Lancelin’s P.O.V
We arrived at ReefWood HQ in less than fifteen minutes thanks to Martins driving. Amber Rose had wanted to come with us but as it was her party, she couldn’t leave her guests unattended. So we had told her to stay behind and enjoy her party and we had promised that we would inform her if she was needed. Tanya motioned toward my office with dreary eyes as soon as I entered with Acelin and Sanaya on my heels. Looks like my mother was not in a good mood and it turned out to be a big understatement when we reached my office.
At five feet two, my mother was on the shorter spectrum but her personality more than made up for her short stature. She had her clan’s signature red hair only hers was a bright apple red that reached her waist. Today she had it in a tight braid down her spine and she wore a black form fitting dress that was full sleeved and reached her knees, making her hair stand

Chapter 19:Sanaya’s P.O.VIt was past one o’ clock in the morning when Mrs. Eustein finally left the building with both his sons following her out. Both Acelin and Lancelin’s expressions were grim and I had a feeling that whatever they talked about was not a normal mother and son conversation. I would know; my mom always gets pissy when something really serious is going on.I felt a bit stupid for waiting for so long to speak to Lancelin. Just one kiss and I’d started acting like a love-sick puppy that cared too much about her boyfriend. In fact, Lancelin and I were very unsure at where we stood in our relationship, or at least I was. Amber was sure that Lancelin liked me, but when it came to an Incubus, I was a bit unsure as to which spectrum the ‘like’ category fell into. Did it mean that he like liked me or thought of me as his next prospective meal? Acelin had written in his file that Lan

Chapter 20:Sanaya’s P.O.VNervously, I looked at the clock once more as I typed my final report for the day and shut down my computer. Unlike Acelin’s cabin which had a transparent glass divider that allowed me to look inside his office, Lancelin’s cabin was surrounded by a black stained glass walls, making visibility impossible. Which was an unfair advantage because Lancelin could see everything that went on outside his office.It was past seven in the evening and the humongous lobby in front of me was completely empty, with no clients, no more paperwork and none of Lancelin’s odd jobs left for me to do. Even the plants and artificial flowers lining the glass windows were spotless, which gave me absolutely nothing to do except fidget over what Lance might want to do next.It had been a month after the events at Amber’s party and Lance had been pretty silent about the whole deal as had Aceli

Chapter 21:Sanaya’s P.O.VI was dressed in a Ralph Lauren original gown in bright red with a flaring skirt that had an ombre effect as the colour got darker as the gown touched the floor. The bottom of the gown turned to a dark red that almost looked black. I had been given matching red stilettos and red diamond drop earrings. My hair was in loose waves around my face and the stylist had kept it simple with providing more focus to the dress itself. The dress had thin straps with a V-neck and a bejeweled pendent at tip of the V. the ruby was a bright red and if my guess was right, it was either a real ruby or a very expensive substitute stone of some kind.“Is this really okay?” I asked Lance as Martin drove us to our destination. “I mean, the dress and everything e-”“You should be more confident about yourself, Sanaya.” Lancelin sighed. “What happened to the woman I met th

Chapter 22:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Sana?”I froze.A chill ran down my spine and I just froze on the spot. My mind went completely blank for a few seconds as the sound of his voice reverberated inside my head.Keith. Keith Salustri.I could never forget his voice. The voice of the man that I had loved for eight years. The man who I thought would stay with me forever. The man who I dreamed to get old with. And…the man who left me without a second thought, not even bothering to break up with me in person.“Sana.” Keith’s face lit up with a smile.I’d played out this scenario inside my head a million times, in a thousand different ways. I thought I knew what would happen when I met him once again. I thought I knew what he’d say and how I’d react to them. But nothing in my life could’ve actually prepared me for this day.He looked e

Chapter 23:Lancelin’s P.O.VI watched her eyes roll back into her head and immediately wrapped my arms around her to break her fall.“Sanaya?” I shook her slightly but she was out cold.Resting her head on my shoulder, I hoisted her up in my arms and headed straight for door. People moved out of the way instantly as they saw me coming and thankfully Martin was already standing outside with the car ready to go.“Sana!”“Lancelin!”Two voices sounded from behind me. One belonging to Asmara and the second to the unknown male I was soon going to know everything about. Ignoring them both, I placed Sanaya inside the car carefully as Martin held the door open for us and then strapped her in and moved to the other side so I could get in.“Put the AC on full power.” I ordered Martin as soon as he got inside. “And head straight to the hospital.

Chapter 24:Sanaya’s P.O.V“I’m right here…”“Lance?” I asked groggily as the fog slowly cleared from my mind.Everything that had happened flashed before my eyes as the fog cleared and I pressed my fingers to my temples to stop the sudden throbbing, only to notice wires hooked to my arm.Keith.He was back.I remember seeing him at the charity dinner…and then…“Did I faint?” I asked hoarsely.“No. You had a stress attack.” Lancelin told me, squeezing my arm lightly.His hand was warm, comforting. I didn’t feel as stressed when he was around. It felt like I could take on the world. Slowly, I tightened my fingers around his a fraction, a bit hesitant at first, but when Lance put another hand on top of mine, I released the breath I had been holding.“You’re not going to ask me a

Chapter 25:Sanaya’s P.O.VI’ll be right here beside you…till the very end.Lance’s words stayed with me for the entire night as did Lance. He sat beside my bed with my hand held in his as I slept peacefully. No nightmares haunted me, no flashbacks played through my mind. I felt relieved…like sharing the most painful incident of my past with Lance had liberated my mind of all the hurt.Yes, I still miss my child dearly, so much so that I sometimes blame myself for not being capable enough to have given birth to my son. But as Acelin had pointed out several times before, it had never been my fault. Only now did I truly understand the implications of his words and how heartfelt they had been. He had never blamed Dilayla for not being able to give birth to his child and from the way he loved me, I could tell that he could’ve been…no, he was an amazing father. He had been

Chapter 26:Sanaya’s P.O.VI woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon.Groggily, I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the last vestiges of sleep and sat up in bed. Lance had the best bed in the world. I had such a good sleep last night that I was planning to either steal his bed or just move in, which was a ridiculous option considering that he was my boss.I looked around the room to see if I could find anything that indicated the time. The windows were covered with heavy curtains, making it impossible to tell if it was day or night outside. A small bedside lamp illuminated the whole room. Fortunately, I found a watch on the bedside table that belonged to Lancelin and it read 9.45 PM.Only after the last vestiges of sleep had worn off was when I realized that I’d seen this room before. But where? Why did this room seem so familiar? Have I been here befo-OH! My dreams!Damnit! I knew he was inducing them
