Chapter three
Lilly POV
After what seemed like forever, the class finally kicked off, as different lecturers kept coming in and out of our class for teaching, and at some point, I felt like screaming my lungs out. For goodness sake, they're frustrating me. Hours later, lecture was finally over, and without wasting time, I arranged my bag, and hung it on my shoulder, before standing up, after which I headed straight to the door, before storming out, with Nina, walking beside me. Gosh! I'm so damn hungry, if only I had known that they were going to take forever to get done with the lessons, I wouldn't have made the mistake of coming here without eating, gosh! Not that we have foodstuffs at home though, now I feel like I'm going to faint anytime soon. "Urgh! That was one hell of a lesson. I was already suffocating in there." Nina whined, as we walked through the hallway. She's so damn lazy, she's worse than me, but I feel the same though. Those teachers are just some bunch of frustrations. "And the thought of having test tomorrow makes me cringe, like urgh!" I cringed, and she chuckled. For heaven sake, what's funny about this now? I love studying, but it's natural not to like a particular lecturer, right? Our literature teacher disgusts me, and the thought of having his test tomorrow, makes me wanna strangle him to death. He's just too strict for my liking. "Not that you can avoid it though. I hate that man more than devil himself." Nina ran her fingers through her hair. This girl is damn crazy, even more than myself. "I'm famished, so right now, eating some food, is the only thing on my mind. Why don't we go visit the restaurant downtown, who knows, luck may just shine on us, but I don't have a dime on me." I groaned frustratingly, while tamping my foot on the floor. "I really want to eat some good food today, but there's no foodstuff at the dorm, and I don't have a dime on me either, what do we do? Is this how we're going to die of starvation?" She whined, while dragging her feet along with me. "I don't know." I heaved a sigh. This is what we go through almost everyday, stranded without food. At times we have to go hungry all day, and at times, we go to bed without eating, but no one ever know what we're going through, as we always smile, and act like everything is fine. What do you expect from two best friends, who are born with an iron spoon? I don't have any means of income, neither does she have, she's on a scholarship, same with me, we're two people from same world, stuck in poverty, it's crazy, right? But that's the truth. "I have an idea." She suddenly said, once we stepped out into the veranda, and I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at her, knowing she wouldn't come up with something helpful. She's only going to worsen the situation, and listening to her, is the last thing on my mind. "Just shut your mouth Nina, let me think of something. Not that you're going to come up with something that'll help us." I scoffed, while clutching my hands on the hands of my backpack, as we walked through the veranda. Racking my brain to come up with something that can help us, but I just couldn't come up with something. "How about we go eat at a restaurant, and run away? We'll go back and pay when we have the money." She smiled foolishly, as she suddenly stopped to look at me. I glared daggers at her, and shook my head unbelievably. Is she kidding me or is she being serious right now? How can she even suggest we do a thing like that, huh? For heaven sake, we're two adults, even if we don't have money to eat, doing something as shameful as that, shouldn't even cross our minds, right? "What?" She shrugged, and rolled her eyes. "You're unbelievable Nina, how could you even suggest we do a thing like that? What if they trace us to the dorm, and disgrace us? I can't do such shameful thing." I said dismissively, and started walking away. "Hey cmon, not that we're gonna steal it, we'll still pay back, just to save our lives for today." She whined, as she kept tugging on my arm, as we walked through the veranda. "Urgh! Nina can you just let me be please?" I groaned frustratingly, as we finally started climbing down the staircase. Nina can be very crazy when hungry, not that I'm different though, but suggesting this, isn't a good idea, I'm having a bad feelings about this. "Please Lilly, my ulcer will soon....""Argh! It's ok...fine...fine...I'll go with you." I said frustratingly. She's always fond of getting me to do what she wants with this ulcer stuff of hers, and it's so annoying. The truth is, Nina is an ulcer patient, the doctor advised her to eat good food, and make sure not to stay hungry. "That's my girl." She squeaked excitedly, and hugged me tightly, before grabbing my hand, and started dragging me away. "Let me go." I cried out, while running with her, but she didn't listen. After what seemed like forever, we finally got to the restaurant, and I glanced at her, giving her an 'are you sure about this' look, and she gave me an assuring smile. Taking a deep breath, I watched as she pushed the door opened, and we walked our ways in. Stepping inside the fancy restaurant, the aroma of delicious pasta, filled my nostrils, as I found myself, salivating. I just couldn't wait to have a taste of it.There were a few people around, making so many chairs empty, and walking over to the set of chairs, close to the door, we sat down. I guess you know why we choose the seat close to the door, right? We ordered for four plates of pastas and two chicken laps. At least, if we're gonna do this, we should eat to our satisfactions, right? Few minutes later, the waitress served us, and we started eating. We made sure to take our time, in order not to look suspicious, and after almost thirty minutes, we finished our food. After gulping down some water, I cleaned my mouth with a napkin, and damn, I feel so alive again. "When I count one to three, we're running." Nina leaned in on me and whispered, while I nodded in affirmation, as we both stood up. "One...two....three!" She said, and in a flash, we turned to run, when I collided into a strong surface, and fell roughly on my butt. Oh shit! We're screwed...Chapter fourThe man dropped dead on the floor, and Lucifer stood up. Raising his head, he licked the trail of blood from his lips, before teleporting to his throne again. Staring into space, his eyes blazing red, the aura around him darkened, sending shivers down their spines."Miguel, drop his body on the street." He said in his cold deep voice, and with that, he teleported to the garden. Appearing in the garden, he sighed softly, his bloodshot eyes, gazing into space, as the gentle wind, blew on his face, swaying his hair in rhythm with the direction of the wind, but his eyes remained unblinked.After staying in the garden for what seemed like forever, he finally teleported to his room, and in the next seconds, he walked into his spacious bathroom.Stepping into the very large and spacious bathroom, he got rid of his cloak, and flung it away, before reaching out to his leather jacket, revealing his brea
Chapter fiveLilly POVTurning around to run from the restaurant, I collided on a hard surface, which turned out to be someone's chest, as I fell on the floor in a loud thud, and winced in pains. What the heck! Is the person blind or something? Didn't he or she see me coming? The pains in my butt isn't my problem now, but the deep mess I'm in now. How the heck are we going to escape from this shit again, huh?"Are you ok Lilly? Please get up." Nina said worriedly, as she came to help me up, while the idiot I just collided on, stood like a log of word."Are you blind or what!" I snapped angrily, as I finally got on my feet, and raised my head to look at him, as I was welcomed with the most handsome creature ever. His body shape, is the most perfect one, his pink lips, his pointed nose, his flawless and spotless skin, gosh! How could a man be glowing in this manner? His eye colors are the rarest I've ever seen, his
Chapter sixDylan POVI stormed out of my room with my briefcase in my hand, as I used my right hand to buttoned my suit. I'm so damn late for work today, and I have an appointment to meet up with in thirty minutes.Descending down the stairs, I was welcomed with the sweet aroma, that filled my nose, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that my maid is at it again. I walked briskly to the kitchen, where I met her, busy with cooking."Good morning Sir. You're up already?"She greeted politely, as she bowed slightly, but my eyes were on the food she was making, but too bad I won't be able to stay back and eat from it, I'm so damn late for work, and I have an important appointment to meet up with. "Morning Jane. Don't bother packing food for me, I'll be very busy at work later, so I won't have time to eat, maybe when I get back from work later."I
Chapter sixLucifer POVStepping out of the restaurant, I walked elegantly to my car, and hopped in, before speeding out of the place. The incident from earlier keep playing in my head, and I just couldn't help finding everything funny and crazy. I just couldn't help wondering if this is how all humans acts, stealing around, that's the most despicable thing.Speeding through the busy road, with many cars, speeding pass me, while some driving behind me, my eyes caught with something, there were many people, standing in front of something, while murmuring what I don't know. Curiosity came hitting at me, and slowly, I found myself, giving in to it, and slowing down the car, I parked at the corner of the road, and adjusted my sunglass, before stepping out of the car, after which I walked over to the place, maintaining a straight face as usual.Walking my way elegantly to the crowd, my eyes darted to wh
Chapter sevenAuthor POVShe kept running like she was on a marathon race, glancing back almost every seconds, to see the cops, not ready to turn back. She just couldn't afford going to jail, the thought of her mom and siblings flashed through her mind, as a drop of tears, slid down her cheeks, she couldn't imagine herself, spending the rest of her life in jail, the thought of being tagged a thief, keep tearing her heart into pieces, and she regret doing it in the first place.Not conscious of where she was going, she barged in on the roadway, but stopped abruptly, as the sound of a car brake, sounded through her ears, joltting her back to reality, and snapping her head to check where the sound was coming from, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, as she was welcomed with a black sport car, driving towards her, and she found herself froze on the spot, anticipating death.The car didn't stop the lou
Chapter eightAuthor POVHe leaned his back on the bench lounger, staring up at the sky, which was already getting dark, as he keep drowning in his own thoughts. As much as he want to wrap his head around what exactly he's thinking about, he just found his mind, occupied with so many thoughts, which he can't seem to comprehend where they were all coming from.He sighed softly, as he closed his eyes, and threw his head back, while thinking about nothing. The sound of the footsteps drawing closer, pulled him out of his thought, as a familiar scent filled his nostrils. His eyes darkened, and in the next seconds, he snapped his eyes opened, not tilting his head to look at the person that just dared to disturb his peaceful time."What is it Miguel?" His cold deep voice came on, as he sighed softly, trying to contain the sudden anger, that tried consuming him."Sorry to disturb you Lucifer, bu
Chapter nineLucifer POVWhat am I a bloody vampire for, if I can't compel people? After hypnotizing the receptionist, I commanded her to take me to the man's office, and without further objection, she nodded blankly, and turned around, before leading me to God knows where. After walking for what seemed like forever, she finally stopped in front of a door, and nodded to me, and with that, she turned and left. Now it's game time.Turning my attention to the door, a smirk played at the corner of my lips, which only lasted for a second, as it dissipated into a deep frown. Without knocking, I flung the door opened, and barged in into the office.Stepping into the office, the lady sitting behind a desk, with her whole attention on the desktop placed in front of her, snapped her head to look at me, as soon as I stormed in, and she stood up, looking all angry."What is the meaning of this
Chapter tenLucifer POVTaking one last glance at his corpse, I headed out of his office, and walked elegantly to the large office, where there were so many workers, having all their attentions on their desktop.Stepping into the large office, some of them raised their gaze to look at me, some were having a confused expression on their faces, while some kept staring at me blankly, with so much questions on their faces."My name is Kai Ryder, and I am the new CEO of the company." I announced, while staring at their faces, one after the other, waiting for who want to lose his or her life, by questioning my decision. The atmosphere became tensed, as everyone glanced at themselves, having a confused look on their faces, and as if they know what awaits them, if they dared to question me, they all kept quiet. This is exactly what I want."Since it's Thursday today, I'm going to wait until Mond
Chapter 30It's midnight and I'm still yet to fall asleep. A lot of things have been running through my mind and all effort to get some sleep have proven abortive. Even if I wanted to shut my mind out of all distractions and get some sleep, I couldn't do it as I always found my mind drifting off. For hours, I've been having the delusion that someone is watching me, I feel like I'm being watched by an unknown creature and I must confess that it's really driving me to the edge of craziness. Why would anyone watch me? It's late in the night and everyone should be asleep, right? Letting out a sigh for the umpteenth time, I sat up on the bed and glanced at Nina who was fast asleep on her bed, she slept so peacefully and I wished I could get a peaceful sleep like her too. The sudden violent wind from outside motioned the curtains violently and penetrating the room and I realized that the windows were left opened. Nina was the last person to sleep yesterday, she must have forgot to close th
Chapter 29I thought my dear friend is useless, but turns out that she wasn't entirely useless. Nina told me about a job vacancy in a company, and I'm so going to apply for it. I learned that there's slot for part-time secretary and I'm so going for it. "Remember this, first impression counts most, so you have to do your best and impress them," Nina said for the umpteenth time, adjusting the collar of my shirt. Of course, I'm wearing something professional, a black skirt and a white polo shirt. Well, all thanks to Nina I have to dress like this. What would I have done when she was on my neck to dress like this, even after knowing that I'm not yet employed in the company. "You've said that like a million times already, and j always told you that I will remember that each time you had said that, so can I go already?" I asked frustratingly and she smiled, straightening my chin with her fingers. "One more thing," She excused herself and rushed to pick her body spray, almost emptying th
Chapter 28The thought of the incident from earlier keeps replaying in his head and he just couldn't help the scoff that keeps teariing through his throat. He keeps wondering where the guts came from, he had been wondering where the girl came from, no one dares to do that and to think that the person doing this was just an ordinary human, keeps driving him crazy. Raising his gaze and staring deep into the mirror, his red eyes penetrated the mirror with anger written all over them. His breath thickened as it now came out in grunts, he was just trying so much to control his anger and he didn't know how long he'd be able to control himself. He closed his eyes briefly and threw his head back, trying to calm down. Of course, he knew what would happen if he happens to lose control of himself. He washed his face and changed his clothes before he finally left the restroom and straight to the exit door. Stepping out of the restaurant, he walked over to his car and drove out of the place afte
Chapter 27Raising her gaze to check who she had just bashed into her eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the sight she beheld, it was Kai. She clenched her fist and gritted her teeth as waves of anger flashed through her. She couldn't believe that she had just lost her food to the bastard again. "You again?" She scoffed while pointing out her index finger at him and bit her lower lip, trying to control the waves of anger that sparked through her. Her eyes darted to her food that was now staining the beautiful and well-cleaned tiled floor, she closed her eyes tightly.Meanwhile, Kai stood rooted to the floor with his hands tucked into his pockets while staring at her blankly like nothing had happened. Is he being serious right now? "Are you mad, huh? You just made me lose my food, why the heck didn't you look where you were headed, huh? Why do I always have to bump into bastards?" She yelled angrily, glaring hard at him but what annoyed her more was the fact that he was just
Chapter 26"Here..." He said, holding out something, and taking my gaze to his hand, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Wait! Isn't that my hairpin? "Wh...isn't...""I'm cool, aren't I?" He asked, and I scoffed. I snatched it from him then opened the door and stormed out of the car. I wanted to thank him, but hell no! After all, he made me pass through because of this hairpin, I can't thank him again, not now and not forever. "Hey! Not even a thank you?" I heard him yell at me but I strode to the entrance door and entered the dorm, not sparing him another glance. He can stay there for all I care. I strode through the hallway, till I got to the front of our door and I pushed the door open before making my way in. Stepping into the room, I breathed out as I threw myself on the bed, a smile laced up my lips. Seeing my hairpin in my hand, I couldn't be any less happy. I remembered how I cried my eyes out when I lost it, and having it back now, makes me kind of happy. I know yo
Chapter 25Lilly POV I stopped abruptly on the spot, as I was welcomed by the least expected person, it was that jerk that threw my hairpin away, if you're still confused about who I'm talking about, then it's our new coach. Wait! How did he know about this place and why's he here? "Hello, aunt!" He smiled at mom like a gentleman he's not, while I just scoffed unbelievably. This dude is obviously losing his mind, and this whole thing is confusing, it's damn crazy. "Hello young man, I don't think I've seen your face before, how may I be of help, please?" Mom asked him, and I chipped in. "Mom..., go have some rest, I'll take it up from here." I said to mom, and she gave me an 'are you sure' look. I nodded, giving her an assuring smile and with that, she turned and walked back inside, while I stared at her till she was out of sight. I sighed softly and turned to glare at that jerk, who was still standing in front of t
Chapter 24She slowly took her gaze to her mom, giving her a questioning look, as she anticipated her reply. As much as she wanted to pray that her mom told her that it wasn't true, she knew that was the case. "Wh...what are you talking, Lilly?" She asked her, whispering the last part as her eyes brimmed with tears. Her heart thumping heavily against her chest, her fear has finally come true, what she had been trying to hide for years has finally been out. "Why did you lie to me about dad's death?" Lilly asked, as she finally took her gaze to look at her, her eyes demanding an answer. "Tha...that? I told you, Lilly, your dad...""Was killed by a vampire." She cut her off, and her eyes slowly narrowed, as her mouth dropped open. The atmosphere tensed up, as silence assumed the air, the two staring at each other like they were doing some staring contest. "Wh...who told you that?" She asked, and Lilly sp
Chapter 23Lilly POV I kept tossing on the bed till it was finally daybreak. Standing up from the bed, I dashed into the bathroom and had a quick bath, dressed up, and left the dorm. I need to go home and see my mom, I need to feed my curiosity, I don't know what I'm thinking, I need her to look into my eyes and tell me that my dad wasn't killed by vampires. Stepping out of the dorm, I took a cab to the bus stop, where I took a bus that was going to our place. I rested my head on the window, tears dripping from my eyes uncontrollably, just the thought of it gave me goosebumps. My dad was the best man any family can ever ask for, he loved us with everything in him, he'd do anything for us, and just one day, he left and never came back. When I saw the mark on dad's neck years ago, mom had told me that it was nothing, I grew up believing her, I can't imagine that she lied to me. After two hours of drive, the bus finally stopped and
Chapter 22Ruby POVIt's late already and I wonder why Nina isn't coming home. I've been trying to reach for like forever now, but her line hasn't been going through, and it's disturbing. I picked up my phone and dialed her number for the umpteenth time, but still got the same result, so I was forced to give up. Laying on the bed, I covered myself with the duvet after turning off all the lights as I tried to get some sleep, but heck! My eyes were as bright as sunshine, and I couldn't sleep.I kept tossing on the bed, almost in tears. I'm not used to sleeping alone, I've never done it before so I'm not used to it. Back at home, I always sleep beside mom, and from the first day in school here, I've been sleeping with Nina in the room and it feels comfortable.A sudden breeze blew in through the window, swaying the curtain violently and my heart skipped like a million times. Gosh! I forgot to close the window. I sprang up from the bed
