Cardin Three days and still no news on my wife. Despite all we did, we always ended up at a dead end and I am near frustration.Standing on the terrace, I watched Baron and Alberto deep in conversation. Merissa kept passing glances at me, but I made no move in acknowledging it. Baron shook hands with Alberto as he handed him the files which means the deal is done.I'm suppose to be happy, having added to my wealth, but the one and only person whom I want to celebrate with isn't here with me. Throwing the cigar into the ash tray, I walked back into the house.Baron met me at the bar, he dropped the file from Alberto on the table. "The deal is done. Merissa didn't want to go, it seems she has developed likeness for this place."I know what he's trying to do, but honestly it isn't working. "We are striking Sicily tomorrow. Let the men know so they can get ready.""I don't think attacking his territory while he still has Lucy in his possession is the right decision. Any decision that you
Cardin We got to Alberto's house by nightfall, the Bentley parked outside his gate, but not within eye sight. Baron eyed the security men at the gate, his face folding in a frown. "How do you intend to pass through these securities?"I ignored him because I already have it covered. I know their focus will be on the other black SUV that my men deliberately parked outside the gate, making sure to make the car so obvious which will give Vincent and Sebastian time to handle the two men that are guarding the back gate."We are clear boss" Vincent voice filled my ear."We are entering through the back door." I informed Baron who is still eyeing the security men through the tinted glass. "Klaus? Is the security system disabled?""Yes boss."I opened the door and walked towards the back gate, my eyes flickering briefly to the black SUV at the front gate. They are to drive away the moment we enter the house without any trouble but if things should go south, they are free to use the werewolf ba
Lucy Staying in the dark brought back feelings that are somewhat familiar, when I close my eyes, I see images that make me wonder if I'm the character of my imaginations? Or dreams? I can't even tell what's real and what's not.The only face I see is that of the young man who brings me a glass of blood once a day for my daily sustainance. Most times, I see the face of Tornado staring back at me then I'm overcame by guilt, guilt over the fact that I led him to his death, not to mention Jimmy and his parents.The asshole who took me is yet to make an appearance after my short conversation with Cardin, most times, I think he has forgotten he left someone down here.The sound of the groaning door brought me back to the present. Turning over to the other side, I opened my eyes and blinked rapidly to clear my blurry eyesight. When I saw who was standing at the door, I shot to my feet."My deepest apologies for my inability to visit all these while, I've been busy with other things that isn'
Lucy Did I get run over by a vehicle or what? Why does my head hurt so badly? I racked my brain to remember what really happened, that was when it came flowing back. That bastard snapped my back just to shut me up.I opened my eyes, expecting to see the now familiar leaking roof, but instead of the roof, I saw another familiar one, one that I find comfort in. I sat upright massaging my temple due to the headache. Looking down to my clothing, I discovered that I was wearing something neat and my body looks scrubbed.I went down in search of the other occupant of this house who happens to be my husband. I opened the door to an empty hallway, not that I'm surprised. Cardin made it clear that none of the guards should wonder upstairs. According to him, he doesn't want them hearing my moans, not even by mistake. He believes that sound was created just for him and him alone.Walking down the stairs, I followed the whisper of voices to the kitchen, there I met Baron, Cardin and Ashley. I thi
Two years later I watched Jimmy play around the garden with Ashley. It's very surprising how she grew fond of him. Just two years ago, I had a fight with Cardin about adopting him, I fight which I obviously won. I ruined his life by being the main reason why his parents died, the evidence of my recklessness marred his skin although his vampire trait tried healing him up, but yet not everything got wiped off.As for Petrov, I don't really know what Cardin did to him. I never asked, but he came home countless nights with blood stained shirt.Pedro walked over to Ashley and handed her glass. Finally, I think she's moving on. Although she's not totally over Cardin because she still bitches at me at whatever opportunity she gets, but at least she's giving Pedro a chance."Hey," Cardin called, his hands circling my waist from behind "I've been looking for you" he kissed my neck before raising his head to stare at Jimmy. "He looks all grown."I giggled at him. Ever since Jimmy got signed ov
2003 Remind me why I am in the dark like a criminal in an amusement park with my mom, sister and the guards?Aaah I remember... We are here because my mom feels we should have fun like kids. I was born in 1993, but that doesn’t make me a kid. I’ve seen what many kids shouldn’t see so I don’t perceive why I am here, in the dark if I must add.My little sister giggled from the swing, demanding that my mom push her higher. I watched my mom smile at her, pretending that the stretching of her cheeks is real.. Pretending that all is okay when she knows nothing is fine.Because I’m here without a daylight ring proves as much.…That she waits for my father to leave to handle his business before taking us out to have fun proves as much...That she has a scarf round her neck even though the air isn’t chilly proves as much...And because Dominic is looking at my mother with longing in his eyes proves as much... And if you are wondering how a ten year old can tell, remember that there is nothing
Cardin“Whenever you do things that I detest, someone will have to pay for it since executing you is not an option. "“Dad, please I’m beseeching you don’t do this... Please,”“Don’t fucking call me that, it’s sir to you. I'm going to pardon your mum but I am going to place her in a silver casket as protracted as I choose and for you, your sister is going to pay for your sins as no one cares if she’s alive or dead. So you are going to look her in the eyes as I pierce her heart with a silver dagger”“Please... Sir don’t do this to them, it’s my wrongdoing... I let the Iska escape not them so please discipline me and stamp them out of this,”“You are going to look her in the eyes and know that you murdered your sister all because of an Iska that you know nothing about. May this hunt you for the rest of your existence,” I roused feeling disoriented. If I were human, I will be drenched in sweats. I glanced around my surrounding and recognized that I am n
CardinGetting that body out of the morgue wasn't that difficult for us in terms of being caught, but it was difficult for us because we couldn't get enough humans for our blood supply because everybody seems to be very vigilant.Letting our existence known to the humans isn't an option because we will be having other vampires round the world on our neck."Did you hear me Cardin?"I lazily transferred my gaze to her "I wasn't really paying attention to you"Baron snickered despite the serious air in the room. Ashley glared at him before turning her furious eyes to me "what could be more important than the situation at hand? Than the fact that the blood in the bank isn't enough to sustain us for the day?"Baron answered in my stead "the fact that there is someone out there that knows of our existence and also the fact that the person created another means of killing us as if silver isn't enough and also the fact that other vampire rulers
