*Maple leaf restaurant**Green city*On the roof, the entire roof had been cleared out and only a table was remained, from the roof top one could see the splendid view of the entire city but Erada's gaze was attracted to the man seating at the table, she only saw the back of the man, he was dressed in a retro black suit and there was no sign of grey in his hair, from the structure of his back, Erada immediately knew that this man was formidable, his entire aura screamed danger, and as he turned around to face her, her eyes widened in disbelief.It was him!How could she fail to recognize him, although she barely had an impression of people, she had taken a look at this man and he had been permanently etched into her memory and the funniest thing was that she didn't know he was her date partner.Although the undead was a mercenary group, she had established a firm rule after she became the leader, no one was allowed to accept any mission aimed at hurting children and everyone had abid
" Master, how did it go" Ricca asked as soon as Draco stepped out of the restaurant and got into the car, Draco's face was as dark as the bottom of a pan and Ricca feared that the eldest miss must have done something to upset his Master.He was almost tempted to curse the eldest miss out loud, even though she was weak and useless, did she have to create problems for him, by annoying his Master to this extent, he would surely take it out on him." Ricca, I want you to keep an eye on the eldest miss of the Kingston family" He knew it!The eldest miss was doomed for sure, asking him to keep an eye on her, wasn't it the same thing as asking him to deal with her." Master, be rest assured, I will destroy the entire Kingston family"Whoosh!As soon as Ricca finished speaking, a cold chilling look was directed his way and it almost made him shudder, did he say anything wrong." When did I say anything about destroying the Kingston family, actually, I think Zephyr is right, you've truly beco
"Leader, it is very simple, I only request that you let my son follow you as a subordinate, just like Venom, Meek and Eight" Elder two declaredOlivia furrowed her brows, she could see the animosity in the young man's face, he wasn't the type of person she would have around her.Sending Olivia's hesitation, elder two persisted " leader please grant this simple request of mine, I have made a lot of contributions to the undead over the years and my only wish is that my son should be by your side"Olivia knew this old man was very cunning, by bringing up his contributions, she wouldn't be able to refuse his request, she glanced at Venom and he nodded slightly, it was the first time he had helped her and she didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.Accepting Karl was just like accepting a wolf into a sheep's den, what if he finds out that she was only pretending to be Daera." Alright, I'll tolerate him but you must know that my patience is limited" Olivia said coldlyElder two'
*The Kingston's mansion*The whole family was seated at the breakfast table and Erada tried her best not to wince as she forced the spoonfuls of broccoli down her throat, what was so good about being a vegetarian.It was bad enough that she couldn't eat meat but the worst part was that she had to watch others eat it, the rich aroma of steak filled her nose as she watched Rivera, Vince and Royal dig into their food." M..other" Erada forced the words out of her mouth, every time she said the word 'mother' her entire body would stiffen, this was the same woman that had killed her mother " I would like to prepare for the upcoming competition"The three of them were speechless!Had they heard it wronglyOlivia actually wanted to prepare for the competition.They all know how much she dreaded the yearly evaluation, yet they could see the determination brimming in the girl's face" Olivia, you shouldn't stress yourself over these things, making an appearance on that day is good enough" Riv
Viola had selected a lovely pink dress, pink was the eldest miss's favorite color and it had always portrayed her innocence, gentleness and youth.Erada had taken a look at the dress and instantly disagreed, staying in this pink room was a nightmare on it's own, there was no way she would parade around dressed in pink." Isn't there any black or grey colors?" Erada asked after a fruitless searchViola shook her head " the eldest miss doesn't like black or grey colors" Viola didn't add the fact that the eldest miss often said those colors were for those who were mourning." Why don't you try this blue dress" Viola held up the dress gingerly, it was a sapphire blue dress with tiny ruffles at the hem, although it wasn't the kind of outfit Erada would wear, it was better than the pink dress.After wearing the dress and applying a light amount of makeup, Viola packed the goodies the eldest miss had prepared for the children and they set off for the orphanage.'Ring a ring o' roses!A pocke
" Little Olive, you're finally here to see this old man" Erada's heart continued to thump wildly in her chest, even after all these years, the man's form of address hadn't changed, he still called her little Olive, she had thought it was just a beautiful dream that she had such a doting grandfather but now it seemed like there was more to it." Little Olive, are you okay" The old man asked, the girl's expression was deathly pale and it frightened him " I'm alright grandfather" The old man still didn't look convinced " If there's anything wrong, you can tell grandfather, you shouldn't underestimate me at all, if those brats in the Kingston family are bullying you, you can tell me"Nothing had changed at all, Erada mused, this man was still very overprotective of his granddaughter, he still treated her like a child, well, perhaps to him, Olivia was no different from a child." I'm really fine grandfather, don't worry about me"The giant oak table was filled with lots of dishes and E
Ricca's eyes darkened as soon as he saw the white sedan that was speeding towards them from the back, the road was so narrow and there was no way he could swerve or turn around.As he was contemplating, another car was racing towards them from the front, a cold glint appeared in Ricca's eyes, they were here again. The two cars stopped, blocking him successfully, the doors of the car swung open and several armed men swaggered out from the car, they were putting on black robes and all of them were armed with weapons." Little Miss, wait quietly in the car, I'll be back" Ricca said to Zephyr.Sensing the imminent danger, Zephyr didn't make a fuss, her heart raced with fear, she nodded quietly as Ricca stepped out of the car, Ricca locked the door firmly from the outside.The gentle expression on his face disappeared as he faced the men and it was replaced with bone chilling coldness." What do you want!" Ricca said coldly" We only want the girl, if you give her to us, we'll let you liv
" Venom, please train me" Olivia mumbled quietly and she was greeted with silence, Venom had turned stiff as a stone and a myriad of emotions flashed across his face.Olivia held her breath, praying, hoping that he wouldn't turn her down." Venom..I ." You're not worthy " he bit out coldlyOlivia winced, the three words stung her like a whip, she had mentally prepared herself for this but it still didn't lessen the despair she was feeling right now." Venom please" Olivia begged" You can't endure it, you don't even belong here"She couldn't let his scathing words get into her head, she continued to persevere, everyone had always looked down on her, she was nothing but a weak pampered heiress but right now she was determined to get stronger.The image of that formidable man formed in her mind, a part of her was doing it to get stronger for him and the other part of her was doing it for herself, she wanted to prove herself to all those that had looked down on her." I will endure it,
*Grove city*His lips settled on hers, hot, hungrily and demanding and her slender figure molded against his, she had lost weight but to him, her body was the most perfect one he had ever seen.her rose tipped bre*sts were taut and aching and a soft moan escaped her lips when he took one of them into his mouth, she arched her back, moaning softly, giving him access to deepen the intimacy." you're beautiful Olivia, so so beautiful"her eyes misted with tears when she realized how much effort he had put into this just to make her feel special, the entire house had been redecorated and beautiful rose petals were strewn everywhere, it looked no different from a fairytale." V..Venom,. it's not going to hurt anymore, is it? it had hurt the last time"a smile spread over his face" it won't hurt anymore, I was drunk then, this time around i'll be gentle"They made love slowly, taking the time to discover what pleased one another and to let thier passion grow and smolder before the flam
* The Wyndham mansion** Havilah city*Vince, Osgald, his men and the Kingston's family guards stepped out of the mansion, they were all covered with blood, they had just finished wiping out the entire Wyndham family.Even though they had only met for a short while, the two of them had developed a strong feeling of admiration for one another." I'm curious about the reason you decided to give us a hand"Vince questioned, he had done his part so that his two daughters would be able to live peacefully without the fear of getting hunted." They killed my son"Out of habit, he brought out the picture in his breast pocket.Osgald's face was etched with pain.Vince frowned slightly, he was familiar with the boy in the photo." Wait a minute.. I've seen him once"Osgald's eyes immediately brightened" Where did you see him"" My daughter brought him home from the orphanage..Osgald was a bit skeptical, he couldn't bear to get his hopes high up." Are you really sure it's him"Vince nodded"
She swung a kick at Gerald before bashing his head against the wall, she continued bashing his head against the wall until his head split and blood trailed down his skull, the blood had gotten sprayed all over her face and it trickled down her neck.Cerek's face turned even paler, this was bad, he had to escape, right now she looked no different from a zombie, the blood all over her face matched perfectly with her scarlet hair and the smile on her face was frightening, he tried using his soul powers but to his surprise he couldn't even condense it." What exactly did you slip in my mouth!!!"The evil smile on Erada's face grew even wider." You're thinking of escaping? You didn't do your research well enough, you should know that if you're poisoned, you won't be able to use your soul powers and what I just fed you with is one of my deadly poisons"Cerek's jaw dropped, the pain was gnawing at his insides and it made him a bit releived, since she had called it a deadly poison, it woul
Venom frowned in confusion" What's this?"" It's a pregnancy test kit...I'm pregnant"She muttered carefully, a part of her would have ran away again, she would have hid the news from him but she knew it was impossible, even if she buried herself under the ground, he would find her.He turned stiff as a statue and a myriad of emotions flashed across his face, shock, disbelief, joy and helplessness." Y.you're pregnant!"Olivia nodded tentatively." This.. This is great news"Venom said before lifting her in his arms, his lips settled on hers, kissing her until she ran out of breath." We're having a baby! We're having a baby!!"He was going to be a father and he felt helpless and clueless about it.Olivia noticed the expression on his face." Are you sad about it.. it's fine .. you don't have to take responsibility for anything, I'll take care of the child..Tears were already forming at the back of her eyes." What makes you think I'll let you run away with my child, I'm happy about
Erada stared at the read text on her phone again, she felt uneasy and she couldn't tell why, she decided to call Draco, why was he ignoring her text?He didn't pick up at the first ring and she dialled it again until he picked." Rada...I .."His voice was shaky and Erada was instantly alarmed" Draco.. what's wrong, are you okay?"" I.. I'm fine, don't worry"" You don't sound fine to me, where are you?"" I'm.. at my sister's place, little Zephyr got hurt"" What? Text me the address right now!!, I'm coming over"She turned to Venom who was already waiting for her." We'll have to put off the attack for now, until I get back"Venom continued staring at her retreating back, she had changed a lot, The Daera he knew wouldn't have put an hold on her plans for anyone.* **** ** The Steele's Mansion*" Big sister, Where is Cerek?"Eight asked with a broad grin and Edwina shivered.In his hands was a bright gleaming knife and his deep brown eyes twinkled brightly." I .I .. don't know, he
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*Erada immediately set to action, the Kingston's guards had already been flown over from Green city and her father would be leading them to attack the Wyndham family.She and Venom would take down the Graham family and later they would attack the Steele family.Until those three families were dead, soul shifters would continue to be in danger.She sent a text to Draco.'You didn't come to cheer me at the arena, I let Olivia win, I'm on my way to attack the Graham family and I'll be needing backup'The text was delivered and read but there was no reply.Erada frowned slightly, it wasn't like him to ignore her texts, she shrugged it offEdwina watched as the girl approached her, she looked innocent and pure, almost like an elf."Miss, please you have to help me, there's a man outside, he's holding my little brother hostage, he mentioned something about soul shifters, I don't know what he's talking about, miss.. please... I'm at my wit's end, I don't want to l
Olivia and Gloriella were the only two that remained." I wish to challenge the eldest miss of the Kingston family"Gloriella said with a sneer." Gloriella, we're counting on you to defeat her, you mustn't let her win"The heiresses in Havilah city screamed in unison, Gloriella was thier only hope, they had to regain the honor they had lost earlier.Gloriella and Olivia steps into the ring." Just hit me as hard as you can, I'll let you win, don't worry"Erada whispered quietly.Olivia's eyes widened but she immediately controls her excitement, Erada had no intention of winning all along.Gloriella screamed in pain as Olivia's fist connected with her shoulder." You're making it obvious that we're only acting, why don't you fight back"Olivia whispered.Erada nodded before swinging a punch at Olivia.A scream rose to Olivia's lips, she had only asked Erada to pretend to hit her, she didn't know she was going to hit her so hard." Oops! Sorry I was trying my best to hit you lightly"E
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*" Are you nervous?"Raven shook her head, her brows were knitted in concentration as she stared at the ring.Gloriella had just issued a challenge at four of the heiresses in Havilah city at once.It took a while before she realized that it was Meek that had asked her a question." How I'm feeling is none of your business, since you're so good at reading the expression on people's face, you should be able to tell what I'm feeling right now"Raven said tartly, she could still remember the way his lips had lingered close to hers and the way he had been so self assured and confident that she wanted him to kiss her." Actually I can"" Really?"Raven said dryly" Then tell me what I'm feeling right now since you're a pro at reading people's faces"" Sure"Meek stalked closer to her until his deep brown eyes were staring directly into hers." Right now, you're a bit tensed about the competitions, you're worried about Daera and at the same time you're thinking
*The Steele's Mansion**Havilah city*"Eldest master, the laboratory has been razed to the ground and all the children have been rescued"A man says frantically.Cerek's face contorted with anger, there was only one person that can correctly guess the code on the door and it was Draco.Not many people were aware of the existence of the laboratory and it still baffles him that he had been able to locate it.His playthings were gone, his hands clenched tightly and one could see his veins popping out.Edwina had learned to stay away whenever he was in a bad mood, she was about to enter but once she saw the look on his face, she slowly retreated.She couldn't stop thinking about the bloody note she had received, '8', the 8 she knew were dead already, and all of them were little children.Unfortunately for the messenger, he wasn't quite fast, Cerek grabbed him by his clothes, before he could blink, a knife had been struck into his cheek." Aaaaargh!"The messenger cried out in pain, holdin
