The morning light permeated into the room through the windows blind and settled on my face. I quickly dragged the blanket over my head properly to stop the light from blinding me. I shut my eyes tightly to force myself back to sleep and hissed at my stupidity of forgetting to close the window blind before sleeping the other night.
My eyes suddenly opened wide on their own as the events of the other day began to rush back into my memory.
I left school early to meet up with my mother and I overheard her talking to my stepfather about all he has done. I remember standing on the edge of a bridge and the last thing I can remember vividly was dropping into water and allowing it to drown me.
I stood up from the bed hurriedly and checked my surroundings. ``Where am I? Why am I still alive?” What is wrong with me? Is this afterlife?’

AndroI was in the middle of a meeting with another Mafia boss in my home office when I smelt blood. I would've stood up to check whatever it was but I knew it'll be a sign of disrespect to the man I was having that meeting with."The Anglos will gain nothing if they decide to tamper with my family. I won't hesitate to kill them," Igor yelled at no one in particular.In this town, three mafia families rule. Two are like kings while the third family is trying hard to compete with the first two and if possible, clear them out so they can take the throne.I've been friends with Igor for years. It's better to make your enemy a friend so you can also monitor his moves. But since the Dimitri Family got into the system, that phrase has appeared difficult.Igor and I are the first two Mafia lords while Dimitri Anglo is the young, naive, and stupid Mafia who won

Annika"A vampire,"The word kept on ringing repeatedly in my head. This must be a joke, an expensive joke at that."Are you joking?" I asked him."No, I'm serious," He replied. I began laughing hysterically. It wasn't possible. I can't be a vampire, I'm human. I stood up from the floor and walked towards the mirror. I could see my reflection and it appeared human to me. I might look pale but I'm not a dead being."You're lying," I told him.He walked up to me and showed me that spot in my hand."How do you explain this then?" He asked.Dumbfounded, I asked, "Why did you do that?""You didn't deserve to die that way," he explained and I laughed.I laughed so hard the tears started coming out of my face again."You should have let me decide that, you don't have any right to do that to me. Do you hear me? Yo

AnnikaI threw the box to the floor as panic washed over me. I sprang up from the bed and walked quickly into the bathroom. As soon as I got to the sink, I opened the faucet and began rinsing my mouth.Dipping my finger into my throat to vomit the poison I just drank wasn't worth it. I kept on groaning for minutes, hoping it'll come out but still, it didn't.What have I done? I asked myself."You need to stop hurting yourself?" Andro pulled my hand before I could push my finger down my throat again."Stop," I yanked my hand away from his loose grip.He didn't hesitate before he grabbed my hand again in a tight grip this time and angrily pulled me towards the room and made me sit on the bed.The shirt I was putting on was drenched with water. I could care less about that. My fingers were shaking, my legs won't stop tapping against the

Andro"Igor wants us to attack Dimitri," Stefan informed me.We were in the study room alongside Fabi and Alek, two of my best men. They had just gotten back from a meeting they had with Dimitri and Igor.I should've attended the meeting but it wasn't necessary and unsafe for others, especially Igor. The last conversation we had ended in a bad state so I couldn't trust myself not to hurt him if he said one more disgraceful thing."He wants us to take a side," Fabi corrected him."It's almost the same thing, if we side with him, that'll be us getting ourselves involved in his attacks and if we don't, we'll also be at the receiving end of the attack" Stefan explained further.Alek was silent as usual. His back was against the wall and he was looking at everyone intensely."What do you think, Alek?" I asked him, hoping he'll say something."What do you want to do, bo

AnnikaMy senses regained, thirst satisfied, I removed my hand from Andro's neck and my lips from his. I also removed my body from him and moved further away on the bed.I was panting.Andro hadn't moved from the spot, his knees on the bed and his hands beside him. He was recovering from the shock as much as I was."I'm sorry I did that," he smirked."I'm glad you did," I raised my eyebrow at his response, hoping he'll explain further but he didn't.He came closer to me and placed his open palm in front of me."Do you want more?" He asked and I nodded. "Help yourself out then, Malyshl""Won't it affect your health?""That's very considerate of you, Annika but no, it won't. It's just for today" he replied.I took a hold of his large palm and placed my lips on his blood. As the blood met

AndroOnce I was done with work, I stood up from my chair and left the study room. I don't usually work late but one of our warehouses was getting a major supply and I had to monitor the importation of the goods. The family couldn't afford a loss, it'll have a great effect on us.I walked into the kitchen and brought out the food Caroline had left for me from the microwave. Even though the equipment was off, the food was still warm. I dipped the fork in and started eating.Caroline has always been helpful with cooking and cleaning around. She had always disagreed with hiring a helper, she felt she could repay me for what I did for Fabi.She believed pulling Fabi out of the gang he had gotten himself into was the best thing I'd even done for them. Fabi couldn't agree less.After eating, I dropped the plate in the sink, washed my hands, switched off the light,

AnnikaI joined Caroline in the kitchen several minutes after Andro left the room. I'd stayed behind to watch a rerun of the first episode of a Korean series; City Hunter.After I was done with that episode, I took a bath and went downstairs. Caroline was also just rounding up in the kitchen."Do you need me to do anything else?" I asked as I finished rinsing the last cup of tea. I volunteered to help her clean up the kitchen as soon as I got here. Even though she disagreed at first, I had to be very persuasive to get her to agree."No dear, that is enough. Let's move to the living room" She passed me the napkin to clean the water off my hand. I followed her out of the kitchen once I was done.We walked into the living area and sat on one of the sofas. The television was on and Maleficent was showing. She reduced the volume of the movie and stared at me.&nb

Andro"Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust" The priest chanted as the earth was poured over the dead men’s coffins that had been lowered into the grave.When I first became the Mafia boss, my one wish was to protect my family and never recount the death of any and because of that, I became the softest mafia boss in town, who tried to seek for peace with others but where has that led to?Nowhere in particular!I ran my hand through my hair, closed my eyes for a while, imagining the breeze would blow away this anger and frustration that was building up in me like a storm. I stepped away from everyone to stay under a tree and it was until I got there did I notice Stanley was with me."Were you able to talk to their families?" I asked him."I did. The first driver's father is a Muslim and he was hesitant about burying him the Christian way even though the s

Andro"Hello Andro, it's been a while, Boss" George mocked from the other end of the line."What do you want, George?" I asked him, acting indifferent"Guess who I have here with me," he asked."I'm not in the mood for your games, George. Go straight to the point""Your girl, Annika" he laughed hysterically, waiting for me to react rashly.The thing is, I knew Annika was with him. I'd instructed Annika to go with him while she was in my car earlier today. Even though she was hesitant about it, I assured her that she'll be fine. Adonis and Bella would be in the restaurant with her, disguising as the cook and his assistant."She has nothing to do with this, George. You need to let her go" I warned him."I need you to step down, Adonis. That throne rightfully belongs to me and me alone" He yelled."Fine, how do we go about it?" I

AndroHours earlierAnger surged inside of me as I marched out of Annika's room. That bastard has disguised himself as Nathaniel and still went on to make plans with my woman but I can bet that whatever his plans are will go down the drain."What's up with you? I can feel your anger from across the room" I didn't have to turn before I knew it was Adonis."Nothing you should concern yourself about" I replied."Even if I'm still mad at you for not telling me about Annika, I can't let this one slide. What's up?""I didn't mean to keep her from you," I replied honestly."I know you don't but the fact remains that I just got to know about her yesterday and you got to know about Bella just a few days after I'd met her""That was because you called for something, Adonis. If you hadn’t needed my help, you wouldn't have mentioned her to me"&nbs

Annika"What did you say I'll be doing here again?" Galina asked as she dropped from her car, in front of my parent's home"Moral support," I replied and winked at her.Andro had dropped me off a few minutes ago as well as the lawyer to the police station where he went to file the case. The lawyer told me it might not be easy since there was no medical evidence against my stepfather.After I mentioned that I'd gone to the hospital the first time it happened, he said he'll pull all the strings and get the reports out but for now, the evidence at hand was enough to get him arrested as well as my mother."What will you be doing

AnnikaThe bed was warm and cozy, so I snuggled into it and refused to open my eyes even when I felt Adonis kissing my shoulder. Last night was incredible, I was scared that I would've messed things up but when Andro took charge and made me take charge after, I knew this place was meant to be home."Open your eyes gorgeous," he kissed my shoulder yet again. I groaned before I opened them to see a shiny object dangling in front of me.I opened my eyes widely to realize that it was a necklace. I touched it and collected it from Andro."What's this?" I asked him, waking up properly."My family heirloom. I was my parent's only child before they died centuries ago when the vampires were under the serious invasion of hunters because our supposed to be werewolf king preferred to be an asshole and walk away from the pack leaving us vulnerable to hunters"I hummed."Why are

Andro"Annika,"I called out as she walked past me, tears rolling down her pretty face. What the hell could be wrong?I had come out from the garden to feed Raven when I saw her marching off."Annika," I ran after her hoping she'd stop once she heard her name but that didn't stop her. She was marching off as if she was mad about something.I threw myself in front of her, trying to stop her. She stopped in her tracks, looked up, and when she saw me, she tried moving away. I changed to the direction she was trying to walk and blocked her path."What's wrong Annika?" I asked her, holding her face in my palm."Nothing is wrong. Nothing else could be wrong other than you being a jerk, an asshole and a loser" she spat."What's going on? What did I do?" I asked. I know I've messed up by keeping my distance from her these past few d

Annika It's been a week since I last heard from Andro. The first three days of his absence were hell. I was so worried about him and scared as well. I called his phone several times and he didn't pick up which was unusual. Why act like I was the air you breathe one time and act like a stranger the next? I was gulping down the juice boxes I had stacked under my bed like ten times a day. My emotion was out of place and I could feel a conscripting pain in my heart every time. On the fourth day, I paid a visit to his place, and to my surprise, the gates were locked. I had no other option than to leave after waiting for several hours. There was no one I could talk to or call to ask about his whereabouts. I could feel myself drowning away with no other option in sight. It was at that moment of my life that I realized Andro w

AndroThe door leading into my office was forcibly opened and Igor walked in with two of his men, armed with guns.Raven was already fighting for freedom from her cage, it was already at alert anytime it sensed danger around me and her sudden interest in Annika is alarming."The fuck is going on, Igor," I asked, still calmly sitting."Why are you so relaxed, Andro? After what you did, why the fuck are you so relaxed?" He yelled, banging his hand on my table."You tell me why I shouldn't be calm. Because obviously, I shouldn't be when you're the one who barged into my office for unknown reason" I asked. Raven was flapping its wings against her cage, and also sending a series of images to my head.It was all that of her plucking out Igor's eyes or scratching the hell out of his chest till it gets to his heart.Raven can

Adonis The terrible beeping of my phone woke me up. Eyes still closed, I removed my hand from around Annika to search for the phone on the desk next to the bed. Once my hand touched it, I sat up on the bed and placed it in my ear waiting for whoever it was to talk and tell me what the matter was. "Good morning Andro," Shit! I promised to call Adonis later and I totally forgot about it. After Stefan had brought dinner yesterday evening. I tried waking Annika up to have some food but she insisted on sleeping rather than eating. "Good morning, brother. I should have called you last night. Sorry I couldn't get the chance to do that" I explained. "Hope everything is okay over there, Andro?" He asked. "Yes, everything is perfect. How's Bella?" I asked about his Emerthus.
