Harmony looked down at her hand which was tightly grasped by the Duke and she tried to wriggle out"What's the hurry, the party's not yet to be over. We still have...a lot of time in our hands" "D-Duke Roman... you're -" Harmony shuttered, she shouldn't have wandered away from the party. Now she was alone with a vampireHis hold tightened on her wrist when he felt her struggle and he dragged her along with him"Let me go..." Harmony struggled to get out of his hold, but his grip on her was solidHarmony's heart thudded loudly in her chest and they approached a room. He opened the door to the room and dragged her inside, slamming the door from behindFear tightly gripped her when she saw the shameless vampire slowly approach her"It's been a while since I had mundane's blood directly from the source. Seeing you made my thirst uncontrollable" he sneered with a malicious look"Stay away from m-me" Harmony shuttered, taking steps to get away from him. He had approached her, served her wi

Darian ever so gently placed Harmony on the bed and placed her hands by her sides. Her doe eyes looked up at him as he tucked her in the blanket"Master Darian, I -" she said seeing him stand up, she wanted to thank him...for saving her tonight. She wondered what would have happened to her if he hadn't arrived right on time"I have some matters to attend to, get some sleep" he said not waiting to hear her out and he walked away"Milord, we've done as you had asked. Duke Roman is now tied up deep in the forest. What do we do next?" Lennox asked, he couldn't help but notice the dark and apoplectic look on Darian's face. His face scrunched in irritation "There's no need for you to do anything, Lennox. I'll handle him... myself"Lennox shivered as the last words of Darian came out hoarse, he couldn't help but wonder what he had in mind for the Duke....Deep in the forest, a man was tied up with several ropes such that his hands and legs were bound tightlyRoman couldn't stop the surpris

Lennox arrived with a shovel, dug the hard soil, deep enough for the Duke to be buried"Milord, it's done" Lennox said with a small bow and his eyes turned to stare at the Duke. Tears seeping from his eyes as blood came gushing out of his mouth rapidlyThe sight was simply... pitifulNo words came out from the Duke's mouth for he felt intense pain going through his gumThe Duke's mouth opened a couple of times, only to close it back. He wanted to plead to be spared but...he couldn't say anything"Milord...""I've decided to have Mercy on you, Roman. I'm giving you an easy death and look...I prepared your own grave" the Duke went to glance at the grave and then at Darian before vigorously shaking his head.. he didn't want to he buried, he was still aliveDarian passed Lennox a look and the obedient butler walked over to the Duke"N-nwo...nwo" his words came out scattered as he tried to crawl awayThe butler picked up the Duke like he weighed nothing and threw his mercilessly inside the

He brushed the hair away from her shoulder, revealing her neck. Harmony shivered when his cold fingers trailed her neck, leaving behind a cold sensationHe thrutched his head into her neck and Harmony gasped loudly, she had not expected Darian to suddenly shove his head into her neck"Master Da-" her eyes widened when she felt something wet and slickly on her neck. Instinctively, her hands moved over to his chest "Ma-ahh" she hadn't expected such a low sound to come out of her mouthHe was sucking hard on her neck and somehow, her mind replayed back to the incident that happened earlier"Master Darian" she called, lightly hitting his chest to perhaps, get his attention but the man wouldn't budge. The scene when the Duke shamelessly harassed her replayed in her head and she moved her body, attempting to push him away"Master Darian" she called out again, a single tear almost slipping from her eyes and then she felt a sting on her neck, only then did he back awayHe stared at her neck,

"You there" Lennox said and Harmony snapped her head to the side "Serve three cups of tea in the Lord's study""Yes" Harmony proceeded to the kitchen, brewed the teas and placed them on a tray. She picked up the tray and walked towards the study. She made three soft knocks on the door and she heard Darian's permission from inside"Master Darian" she said with a low bow, her eyes moving over to the two men on the couches. She served the tea on the table and with a bow, wanted to leave"I heard Lord Darian was accompanied by a pretty lady, it never crossed my mind that she was your maid, Lord Darian" said one of the men with light brown hair and dull red eyes, stopping Harmony in her tracksDarian said nothing and raised his brow at the council man who smiled in apology"Good day to you, fair lady. I'm councilman Maximilian Vince and this is my partner, Oliver Shawn" Harmony stared at them in confusion, wondering why he was introducing himself "We're here concerning the death of Duke Ro
