"What did you say happened when you met with Aster? Are you sure you're alright?" Layla asked worriedly as she handed the chicken soup she made to Collette. For a week now, Collette had remained in her room after the incident with Aster, refusing to say a word. Her silence was slowly messing with Layla's bolt as it made her very worried. A knock sounded on the door before it was pushed open. Layla glanced behind her and hissed when she saw Adair. He was the one who brought Collette back home. When Layla tried to continue her bullying, Adair kindly reminded her of the things she had stolen from her daughter."What are you doing here?" Layla hissed silently, careful not to be heard by him. But how could she know that the thousand year old vampire behind her heard anything as long as the words were said. He smiled to himself and stepped into the room fully, closing the door halfway. The man walked up to Layla and looked into her eyes, "Leave and let me have a brief discussion with m

The Kingston family residenceThe whole house buzzed with activities as they eagerly prepared for the wedding of the century. Up on the balcony was Clinton, overlooking the event. Robin walked up to him and did the same. Then after a while, he asked, "It's unlike you to host a party." "People form new habits every day, Robin. Besides, I just got elected as chairman. So why are you so surprised that I'm hosting a party?" Clinton retorted without looking at his brother. Robin scoffed and turned to face his brother squarely. "Because I know you've never really been the party type. You don't even celebrate your own birthdays because it requires you to throw a party. So why exactly are you in collaboration with Abel Devon to throw this party which has been rumored to be the party of the century?" Clinton didn't answer. He kept on looking at the living room which was slowly becoming really beautiful. "The last time I checked, brother, I don't owe you an explanation over what I do." He

Collette watched Aster apprehensively. Not because she was scared of her, but because Adair had explained the reason Aster had bitten her. Something flickered in Aster's eyes when she noticed this. They were far from the party and the music coming from the hall was barely audible. “I'm sorry I bit you.” Aster apologized with a straight face. Collette had a nostalgic feeling as she subconsciously reached for the spot where Aster had sunk her fangs into whilst saying, “It's fine. I was told that newly born vampires have a hard time controlling their urges.” Aster paused for a moment before she nodded. “But I do have a question.” Collette continued, looking into Aster's eyes, “Why didn't you tell me Martha turned you into a vampire?” “I'm sired to her, which means I do whatever she wants me to do. She didn't want me to contact you until recently.” Aster half-lied. It was true that she was sired to Martha, but Martha never asked her not to see Collette or talk to her best friend li

“Aster Maron isn't dead. Adair is holding her hostage.” Tucker told Martha afterward. “He is? That's so unlike him.” Kelvin commented from where he sat. “His wife begged him not to kill Aster. So, he's just holding Aster hostage.” Tucker chuckled. He walked to the counter and poured himself a drink. “And how do you know all these?” Martha asked, her eyes following his every movement. Tucker smiled as he emptied the first shot of bourbon. “You really don't think you're the only ones I have keeping an eye on Adair, do you?” “I know.” Martha exhaled and leaned back comfortably. Tucker sounded way too confident, so she knew he had a card up his sleeve. It wasn't just a card, but one he knew would make him emerge victorious if he really used it. Closing her eyes for a brief second, her mind flashed back to the first time she met him a thousand years ago. After Adair killed her entire family and ran away, Tucker somehow found his way into their home. He was able to save Kelvin, wh

“I was expecting somewhere close to your home. What am I saying? I expected you to take me to your house?” Aster scoffed, after inspecting the house Adair brought her too. Adair said nothing in reply. After her words back at the warehouse, he released her because she was telling the truth.Iris' research on Tucker showed he was indeed getting stronger, but it wasn't by himself. There was someone, or rather people, behind him. “Cut to the chase and tell me what I want to know.” He frowned, taking his seat. Aster shrugged and returned to where he sat. The living room wasn't as spacious as the house she lived in back when she was still human Aster Maron, but for someone who didn't have a choice, it was better than known. She slumped on another cushion and exhaled tiredly. “Aren't you going to let me rest? The past few days have been long and hectic for me.” Adair's eyes gleamed in annoyance. He got up and walked up to her. “Why? Do you think I dare not kill you just because you have
