The whole office got busy after the contract was made. Their product delivery time is almost near and they are advertising it more. Other companies are sending their representatives to form contracts with VR Enterprise. So it's completely a massive situation in the office. No one is getting any free time. Moreover, some are doing overnights.
Erin is going crazy since she is the busiest one. She has to check papers, files, product quality issues, and deliveries. Also, she is giving some of her time to the representatives. She doesn't even have time to drink a glass of water. Though Kevin is helping her handle some work.
Kevin Parker is a reliable person of Chairman. He is Edward's assistant and also the representative Of VR Enterprise. Kevin is always with him, handling all his work here and in other branches of VR enterprise in different countries. Edward believes in him more than anyone else. He is more than an assistant to Edward. He is like a friend to him. So he relies on Kevin a lot.
"Let me handle some paperwork. You'll be stressed out." Erin was shocked when Kevin offered his help out of the blue.
She hesitated at first but couldn't defeat his persisting nature. Even though Kevin lent out his hand to help, Erin is still drowning under a pile of files.
"Psss! Psst!"Erin looks up and sees Tina is the one who is making weird sounds to get her attention. Tina and Erin are co-workers also from the same team. She is good at her work but the problem is she never does them wholeheartedly.
" Erin dear, I have a tiny request for you." Tina comes rushing to Erin and holds her hands tightly.
Erin is aware of this situation. She faced it before and remembered the sufferings she had to bear.
"No." Erin stops Tina before she could make her request. " What? You didn't even listen to me!", says Tina.
" No need to. I already know what you'll ask.", replies Erin.
"Pretty please?! Kevin has asked me to handle a file and I've completed it almost! I have to submit it to the Chairman today. If not, he'll be very upset. You know how he is, don't you? I've got a date with Brian tonight. And if I keep working on the file then I'll have to do it overnight. So, please help out!" Tina keeps massaging Erin's hands and shoulders. But Erin's not going to fall into her trap. Does she take her as an idiot?
"If you have to work overnight for a file then it's not almost done! You just started it, didn't you? I will not help. Do it yourself! And who the hell is Brian? Didn't you go on a date with Henry two months ago?" Erin avoids Tina's puppy look while replying. Because she can't refuse requests and is easily convinced.
Tina wraps her arms around Erin's neck and says, " Oh come on! I left Henry a long time ago and I told you about Brian, who was a senior in my college. Please help me out for the last time. I will even treat you!!!"
Erin's eyes are burning in rage. She looks at Tina with those eyes that compel her to release Erin's neck from her captivity.
" Literally...You didn't leave Henry, but he dumped you and every time is the last time, you say. But I know it's not." Erin doesn't take it further and starts working, avoiding Tina.
Tina's stunned seeing Erin's reaction and sulking at her side. " I just asked a simple thing from you. You…you can't even help me out on it." She starts sniffing.
Anyhow, it worked like medicine on Erin. She turns at Tina with a tired look on her face, " Okay. But THIS IS THE LAST TIME!! No more requests!"
Tina jumps out in joy and hugs Erin while she's feeling suffocated. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thaaaaankkk youuuu!!!! Umma." Tina releases Erin after giving her a kiss on her cheek. She returns to her desk, humming in joy.
On the other hand, Erin keeps rubbing her kissed cheek in disgust. Though she's feeling a little happiness seeing Tina's bright face.
*************************
"Erin, leave for today. It's getting pretty late. Let me drop you home." John suggests Erin. There's a worried look in his eyes. It's 9 pm. So it's logical that he will be worried about a girl alone in the office.
"It's okay. I've just two more files left. I don't want to leave them for tomorrow. It gets hectic! And I will take a cab. So you can go home." Erin replies.
" Are you sure?"John asks her again if she would change her mind. But Erin assures him with a sweet smile that she won't and replies, " I'll be fine. Have a safe drive!"
John lets out a sigh. Well…he can't fight with a workaholic. So he leaves her on her own.
" Okay then. Let's finish this!" Erin continues with great enthusiasm.
Though she thought she could finish quickly, it turned out it was already midnight. How is she going to get a hold of a cab at this time?
As she presumed, Tina didn't make any progress on her file. That girl! She needs to have a good talk with Tina tomorrow.
Moreover, Erin wanted to hand it to Kevin before returning home. Maybe he has already left the office. Oh, God! Now she has to enter Edward's chamber and keep it on his desk. If it's handed in tomorrow, he will be furious.
" Guess I've no choice." Erin sighs.
Edward's chamber was dark. This is a perfect chance! She is hoping the room will be unlocked. So she can easily sneak in and keep the file.
She pushes the door and 'TAK!', It is open! "Thank goodness, it wasn't locked." She felt happy.
Erin enters the room quietly like a cat. But then...she can't believe her eyes. A woman is lying on the couch embracing a man. They are both half nude.
The woman is so beautiful and she's looking even more pretty with a mixed reaction of pain and pleasure on her face! The man is biting her neck and red blood is flowing like an almost dead fountain. The flowing blood is glimmering in the moonlight, falling on that woman's face.
Erin's so stunned by that view, she can't even think if she should be scared or not. She is unable to move as if she has become a statue. Suddenly some thoughts cross her mind, " What's going on? Is that woman dead? Am I witnessing a murder? I've to run. I've to run somehow."
She is feeling the urge to run but she can't move from the spot. She is trembling in fear and her hands are shaking.
At a moment, her shaking cold hands let go of the file and it fell on the floor, making a huge sound. That sound helped her to come back to her senses. But it also caught the attention of the mysterious man who was busy biting her neck.
"Who's there?" A hoarse voice hits Erin's eardrums. She knows the person with this voice!!!
Erin's guess turns real when the man faces her. It is…EDWARD FROST!!!
His pale face is looking paler in the moonlight. Blood is flowing through his mouth that is almost reaching his neck. Erin can see the red veins of Edward's neck.
Yes, he is drinking blood! Edward's whole feature makes her realize that...he is a monster!!
His sculpted figure starts moving towards Erin. He runs towards her and hits her hard. Erin flies away from the place she was standing and her body hits the wall. She didn't even see him coming.
She falls to the ground and is groaning in severe pain. Her head is spinning and visions are going to blur. She can feel something hot flowing down her neck. But she doesn't have the energy to move.
Everything happened in a blink of an eye and she lost track of the situation. Before she closes her eyes, she sees Edward coming closer. Erin is scared and wants to run to her mother. She is missing her. "Mom, save me!" she calls out to her mother in her conscience.
Edward sniffs Erin's neck and slicks the flowing blood. She fainted, so she didn’t have the slightest idea what he was doing to her.
"Sweet!" Edward grins while licking his lips covered in Erin's fresh blood with his tongue.
"I've nothing against you, but since you disturbed me having my dinner, let me have it from you. Thanks for the food!" He chuckles and bites her neck.
Erin comes back to her senses when she feels a pinch like someone needled her. But suddenly it turns into a bitter pain as if somebody's trying to take a piece of meat from her neck. She's feeling suffocated.
The blood on her body is running backwards. She can feel the pain, it's strong!! She starts screaming, " AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! PLEASE….STOP!"
But Edward doesn't stop drinking. Instead, he starts sucking her neck harder. Erin is scratching his bareback with her sharp nails to let her go. But instead of letting her go, he holds her tightly into him. He prisons Erin in his embrace. He is so strong that Erin can't get out of his tight hug.
The pain is getting stronger and Erin is also shouting constantly. Her voice is almost cracked!
Edward stops sucking Erin's blood and forces a kiss on her soft lips to keep her mouth shut before she destroys her vocal cord.
She can feel his cold and rough lips and the warmth of her blood on them. He starts with a passionate kiss, but it gradually becomes rough and rougher since she starts to give in.
Edward's tempted by Erin. He pulls out her shirt that is tucked in her skirt and slicks his hand into the shirt. He starts kissing her at the same time.
He touches her bare skin. His hands are cold and she can sense them colder as she's turned on by him. Her breathing is getting heavy and warm. She's in the heat!
Edward starts sucking her blood again. But this time Erin isn't feeling any pain. Rather she's drowning in pleasure. She is carving her body and moaning sweetly. He unbuttons her shirt and kisses Erin on her chest.
" You're a natural beauty. Wish we could spend more time together. But unfortunately, I don't love keeping witnesses alive!" Edward declares Erin's death sentence in his hoarse voice while kissing her chest.
Erin heard him clearly, but she isn't fighting against it. She has accepted her pleasurable sweet death!
Erin was almost giving in but she can't leave her mother alone. She promised her she will be home early at night. Erin still has to keep her promise. So she must live! Erin suddenly feels the rush of energy flowing through her body.Erin pushes Edward who is busy sucking blood from her body. Erin couldn't realize, but her push was very strong. Although Edward isn't less than her. She keeps pushing him and he resists them by all his might. But he's imagining how a normal girl can be this strong?! Even though he's a vampire, he can barely keep up with her.Edward grabs Erin's hands and lets out his fangs in front of her, showing a scary face and making hissing sounds. But Erin isn't scared of him. She finds an opening while Edward's busy making weird and scary faces. She kicks hard on his chest.CRACK! Something has broken. It's a loud sound. As if someone has broken their bone. Edward grabs his chest and starts taking deep breaths. He is having a problem with spe
VR Enterprise9 amEdward's looking at some documents while sitting in his chamber. He can't concentrate on it. Cause Kevin's still late in finishing his given order. He's on the verge of losing his cool. The veins on his face are visible and the sound of gritting teeth can be heard in this silent chamber. He keeps tapping the handle of his chair and looking at the door.Right that moment Kevin enters the room with a load of files, " I've...I've... gathered the files.... of the female workers who match your descriptions. Please....please, look at them.", he's huffing while talking to Edward, holding the files in his left hand and another hand is on his right knee.He did a marathon in the whole office in the morning.Kevin had to wake up early in the morning to find these files. He even skipped his breakfast and has been organizing the files, just to escape Edward's wrath. But only God knows when he will be satisfied with him. Also, Edward st
Venessa and Rowan are sitting in a coffee shop, crowded with people. Venessa has chosen this place purposely since she knows that they are being followed. Rowan's expression is also declaring the same, "There's an informer around us. I can sense him."Venessa agrees with Rowan nodding her head. They are trying to play it cool as if they don't know about the informer. But they can't take a lot of their time. Because there are other person's who are keeping their eyes on them for a while. Rowan can guess that some of them are from the vampire clans who are trying to get rid of him."What did you want to talk about?"Although they are surrounded, Rowan can't get Venessa out of his head, who is sitting in front of him to tell something from the very beginning. "I want to tell you the secret that I have been keeping from you all these years. "Venessa is hardly trying to maintain the smile on her face. It's vanishing thinking how Rowan will react after hearing the truth.
Edward is examining the dead body. Erin tried to run away after seeing such a brutal scene. There's blood on her dress, face and everywhere in her room. But except for blood, she was most scared when she saw Edward at her house! How the hell did he enter? She couldn't move in fear at first, but when she got her senses she tried to slip through the open door. But alas!! The girl caught her before she could leave, "Where are you going? We came running to your rescue and you are leaving us behind on the crime scene?!" She couldn't say anything to that. And at last, she couldn't run away either.It's true. Even she can realize now that if Edward hadn't come and killed that mysterious man, then she would have died by now. She can't thank him enough! But it's also true that the same Edward tried to kill her yesterday! As if suddenly a lot of people are after her life. Though she can easily get that every single one of them is a vampire. The man who tried to kill her a while ago als
Venessa and Rowan have come back home right after Edward leaves the house with Erin. It's so calm now as if nothing happened a while ago. But this silence is scaring them more. Because they already guessed that it's not a peaceful silence, rather it's the silent moment after a tornado has passed away.Venessa keeps calling her daughter, "Erin! Erin?!". But nobody answers her back. So she rushes to Erin's room and she lets out a scream seeing the dead body on the floor!Rowan runs to the spot and finds out the devastating state of the room, blood splashed all over the place!! Venessa hides her face into Rowan's tight hug. She is so afraid to look!!Rowan lets go of Venessa and starts observing the dead body. "It's a newborn impure vampire. Look at his neck. There's still a faint sign of a bite mark!! He was maybe here for blood!"Venessa gets scared hearing what Rowan just said. "Do you mean that he was here for Erin's blood?""It's possible. But ho
Julius is close to Edward as if he's Edward's father. Edward used to come to his house more often when he was a kid, but he suddenly stopped after he had become the lord of his clan. Julius invited him several times, but he refused them. He couldn't even get hold of Kevin so that he could speak with Edward through him. It seems ĺlike Edward has cut all his ties with him. He is walking around his study room looking at his wall clock in intervals. "Why are they being so late?" is what's going on in his mind now. He’s eagerly waiting for Edward. Julius's patience comes to an end when he hears the sound of a car. He looks through his window and then rushes to open the door. Edward, Erin and Kevin are standing at the door after ringing the bell once. Erin struggled in the car to get out at first. She even tried to break the glasses. But they were so strong that sh
Erin is getting a brief lecture from Edward about vampires. That's what she gets when she challenges the big boss and he comes out of his den! He was boiling when Erin humiliated him in front of Julius and Kevin. This is the return gift to her. Julius has gone inside to help Serena a while ago. So Kevin and Erin are stuck with Edward. She's making a sick face. Everything Edward is explaining, going over her head and he doesn't even repeat like Julius, " You asked Julius why the count lord will try to kill you, right? That's because one of the previous lords made the rule to kill every single rare vampire since they were increasing in number. Pure vampires were on the verge of their extinction. Count Dracula was a pure vampire and since his lineage was about to end, the count lord made the law 'Burn the rare'. Edward gives a pause and Erin
Edward joins others at the table in a while. He is surprised to see that all his favourite dishes are cooked. They smell nice and look delicious. It's been years since he last came to Julius's house. But they haven't forgotten about him and it shows perfectly in these small details. Edward's guilt is choking him. Even though the foods are to his taste, they aren't going down his throat. He is on the verge of crying in front of everyone. On the other hand, Erin has already made herself comfortable around Julius and Serena since their polite and lovely behaviour resembles her mother's. So she is feeling as if she is at home. It's relaxing and the food is also great. It can be said without any doubt that Aunt Serena is a good cook. " How's the food, dear? I hope they suit your taste.", Serena asks Edward and Erin at the same time. Edward's thoughts get cut in the middle and he looks at Serena in surprise. His eyes are wavering and they are filled with tears.
Dracula Castle, Romania. A few days later after ending the war…The lords have gathered to discuss an important issue and that is “Who will be the next Count Lord?” Erin isn’t interested in it at all. She’s just happy to see Edward and others are fine. Even Ian has recovered from his injuries. So there’s no need to be getting involved furthermore after hearing the hateful words that are thrown at her. Moreover, some people don’t wish her to become their master. Erin glares at Raphael who can barely hold his grin. Uriel, the culprit behind this ruckus, is sitting beside him and grumbling about being chained. His punishment will be decided today. However, it doesn’t seem like he will be receiving the death penalty, thanks to certain someone. It doesn’t matter to Erin. Although she agrees with the fact that Uriel is the reason behind the war, she can’t shake off the feeling that her very existence is also a threat to the whole community. That’s why she has made up her mind! "My decis
-Howard’s dead! Do you realise what it means? He’s no longer with us! Will you take responsibility for him?... This! THIS WASN’T OUR FIGHT, TO BEGIN WITH! Why do we have to suffer? A man shouts in anger before he bursts into crying. Obviously, he’s frustrated as much as he’s sad about losing someone important to him. He wishes to keep complaining, but his words are getting stuck in his throat. Some comforting voices float around the air and make their way to Erin’s ears. She doesn’t know for how long she has been sleeping, but it feels like ages now that her muscles are sore. Although she can barely open her eyes, she tries to find out the owner of that angry voice. However, she fails repeatedly and gives up in the end. -Bill is right! We’re dragged into this mess when we aren’t supposed to be involved. A girl’s voice! It’s familiar and yet distant all of a sudden. Not long ago, this person was the one who stood up for Erin! Then…why is it sounding strange to her? After all, what’s
"Le..let me..GO!""Fufufu! How does it feel to get crushed on? Is it amusing?" Rowan, who is now possessed by Orus, gets closer to Erin's face which has turned red since she can't breathe. While trying her best to escape from his grip, Erin has no choice but to listen to his nonsense.Surprisingly, Rowan stops talking all of a sudden and keeps observing her before saying, "So weak! Can't think of a reason why you were chosen to bear the 'Dragon's fate'. So pitiful for someone who upholds both the power of God and the Devil. Tch!" "What's this stupid demon talking about?" Erin isn’t insane to wonder about such lousy conversation while her lifeline is about to get cut. She keeps thinking of a way to get out but finds none. Only the crazy laughter of Rowan rings in her ears as he exclaims in joy, "I'm feeling so good right now!" His grip becomes tighter than before as he sniffs Erin's neck in a swoop. "Delish!" "I sa...id...Fuck Off!" "SHHH!!!! Tch! Ahh...my ears! Can't you scream a
"Do you think they can handle it?" "You worry a lot, old man. Relax! Master can finish the enemy with one blow!" "If it was that easy, I wouldn't have worried about it." "Sheesh! It's hard to ensure you. Well, we'll see that for later. For now, I've to take you to a safe place. Otherwise, the master will kill me!" Bill runs faster towards the heart of the forest. Soon the battle ground vanishes from Julius's eyes as he looks back to monitor the situation and yet the sound of clashing swords isn't disappearing. As if the whole world is bearing witness to today's incident. Julius couldn't help it when he was forced to leave Edward's side. Rowan inflicted a heavy injury on him which almost caused him to faint due to loss of blood. The terror in Edward's eyes is unforgettable! Even his men were terrorized. Rowan was extremely powerful as if the news of him being sick was nothing but a nonsense spouted as a joke. His physical strength was surpassing the whole clan. It was nothing li
"This is getting out of hand!""We should lure them towards the open field. The training ground is narrow enough to make moving hard for us.""But what to do about this rapid fire?!" Ario shouts in irritation. He can barely block the bullets with a thin shield and yet he's trying his best. The two other men are also struggling. Erin can't blame them when she isn’t even in shape to fight anymore. Rather, she says, "I've got an idea. Let's split! One party will distract them while the other makes a run for the field."After a small pause, Ario replies with a soft nod, "Sounds great to me. I'll help you to climb.""No, wait!" Erin disrupts Ario who is about to pick her up and suggests, pointing at the two men, "Let them move before us."The two men seem bewildered. However, there's no time to spare in argument. They both agree immediately and make a long jump for the roof while Ario and Erin are backing them up. The enemies are trying to corner them more than before. Due to the lack of
"Lan! Is there any way where I can kill Orus without harming him?" "Not that it's impossible, but you’re not capable of pulling that off yet." "Meaning?" "Simple! Without the help of Mandira, you can't do it." Erin recalls her time when she was stuck in that endless world. Among those seven dragons, Mandira was the one who didn’t have any kind of supernatural power that could be seen and yet her power surpassed others. She's a dragon who uses her powers through tarot cards. It may seem funny but she has the ability to see the opposite side of her cards and pull out a suitable one. Her dragon powers are installed in those cards, so she can make wishes come true by using them. Erin had the opportunity to witness her power. Unlike Orus or other people who can manipulate someone with the help of words or other means, Mandira is unable to do that. When she learnt that her powers didn’t have any physical form, she tried the tarot cards as an easy means. Her mother was a gypsy and she u
“Whoa, what’s that?” “Is that Lord Uriel? Why’s he flying?!” “Don’t tell me! After Master Rowan, now another legend?” “Unlike the master, his wings are so black and shiny. Just like a bat. Isn’t that gorgeous?” “Yeah! But, doesn’t he look kind of different than usual? Is he the one who just broke the underground dungeon where that woman is kept?” “You bet!” “What could he be doing there?” “Don’t know, but…Something doesn’t feel right.” The castle guards are fussing
"My lord, you should leave now. There's a hidden door behind the second staircase which will lead you to the secret dungeon." Oliver whispers to Edward while fighting nearby. He further assures, "We'll be watching your back. So, hurry!" Edward grins at him. Taking his last line as a joke, he says, "Rather watching my back, you should hold your men at first. You look like you’re struggling quite a bit here to need my men's support." Oliver can't believe Edward acting arrogantly when someone's life's in jeopardy. He remembers a saying, "Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand" and it truly applies to him. Unfortunately, he can't say it to his face! Composing himself, Oliver politely replies to Edward, "My lord, you’re right. I'm unworthy and that's why I need some time to strengthen the bond between me and my men. Would you kindly
“Where did I keep it?”“Hurry up, Oliver!!”“Can’t you shut your mouth for a while?”“TCH!”Keeping the door slightly open, Ario gets out of the room to guard it. Thankfully, everyone is busy discussing the rare vampire that they don’t have the time in hand to look after the castle. The rummaging sound through the papers is irritating Ario, but he can’t make a sound while Oliver is busy looking for the documents. They’re from Willow who is known as Uriel’s informer. Or maybe was! He’s missing since Oliver left the castle, not even a trace of his dead body!It’s surpris
