"Coming," Gina said, fastening her steps to answer the non-stop ringing of the door.She was scared, thinking it was the police. Who knows, maybe the person Hannah stole from already has her tracked down. However, instead of allowing Hannah, she decided to play the savior as she always does.Maybe when Hannah's victim saw that it wasn't Hannah who answered the door ring, his wrath might subside. Gina was thinking of handling the situation and whatever reasons they came wouldn't be as blazing as it should be if Hannah happened to answer the door. She already made up her mind to apologize and put out a convincing lie about Hannah traveling home the last two weeks to go see her sick mother just to buy enough time and twist the victim's words or whatever statement the victim might have given in the police station.She already made up her mind and was ready to twist the victim's words to her favor by lying with a straight face. She believed that would delay the police investigation, proba
The cop's black Mitsubishi Triton V10 engine siren was making a long loud warning sound at the crime scene indicating the presence of the cops.The clubhouse was already in restricted 'No safe Zone sign'. Everything was under investigation. It was briefly shut down until the investigation was over.The cops secured the scenes, witnesses were separated. The club owner was already called for questioning. The whole scene was being scanned, cameras capturing non-stop; the crime scene room was sketched and the cops searching for the tiniest evidence that might likely point to the culprit to book.Reporters and Media were already present. Each blogger was trying to report based on what they could see and some hearsay from bystanders and passersby.The officer in charge of the case and the crime investigation already collected fingerprints, footprints, tire tracks, blood, and other fluids which were in the room, strands of hair were also retrieved as a piece of evidence and every other valua
Hey, Riana! Riana!! Here please, please tell us the truth about Mellisa's elopement news." One of the reporters said immediately she leaned down from the car. The reporters came rushing but thanks to her guards and cops.The cops, soldiers, and other departmental divisions of the IIF had trouble controlling the huge crowd that had gathered outside of the broadcasting company. The Coast Province News station to witness today's Live broadcast about the ongoing issues and the catastrophic news.Today's Coast Province News reported about the sudden attack of a young girl by an unknown beast, who died during a surgical operation due to the loss of too much blood before the emergency van could get to the scene.It was reported a higher scholar had lost her life after attending Groove last night at Strip and Rock clubhouse. It was also stated that the inflected wound doesn't look like it was done by a human, judging from the fingerprints left on the deceased body. Such an awful incident.
Immediately Riana got home, tossing her bag on her bed, she walked towards the dressing mirror and began peeling off her wears. Once she was done, she rushed into the shower to off the heat and calm her anxiety.Today had been one hell of a rollercoaster. From carrying out an unsuccessful surgical operation to holding a press conference and solving half of the Keller's problem including Mellisa's neck-pressing problem.She breathed relief, it was like a heavy load was taken off her. At least the fans and netizens will stop with their constant whinging and brutal disturbance about Mellisa's disappearance.As she was getting ready to take a shower, she reminisced about the whole issue, her lying even though she didn't know the condition of her friends or where she was. She felt bad that she lied about something as sensitive as Mellisa's disappearance.She hated herself for it but what would she do? She had to lie to save her friend's family, and business and to secure Mellisa's modeling
"You ate her and ended up eating her. What kind of beast are you?? Calton growled at nonchalant Arson. His dark eyes glared at him in shock and anger.He was angry, he shouldn't have let Arson off the hook that night in the club.He knew how troublesome this Arson could be. Arson loves bringing trouble and drawing attention with his recklessness. Once he killed a vampire girl after making out with her. The vampire emperor found it an insult to his clan which had resulted in a bloodbath had Armstrong not intervened on time, then the kingdom would have been in a never-ending battle and bloodshed.Now they are in the humans' kingdom, Arson has repeated the same thing by killing off a girl. The news was all over the news platforms, and nets and it was broadcast morning, afternoon, and night with some pictures of the deceased girl being displayed continuously.It was the wounds the first time it was shown on the television that caught his attention. Judging from his experience, the wounds
As soon as Hannah arrived in her apartment, she threw her keys on the center table and slouched down her ass on the couch, rubbing her eyes tiredly.Gosh! What a disaster. She scratched her hair. She just met Jamie at the supermarket.From hiding indoors all day due to fear of meeting the one you are hiding from, to running into him at the supermarket. A horrible disaster.A disturbing wave flowed through Hannah. She seriously wanted to know what Jamie meant by what he had told her earlier today at the supermarket. FLASHBACK."You don't need to stalk me, I promise to return your credit card without spending a dim." Hannah snapped, trying to mask her fears with boldness, the orotundity in her voice was not as calm as she had wanted. She was scared and it showed all over her but she rather have her arms chopped off than show how terrifying she was to Jamie."Stalk you?! Samie sarcastically shrugged. "I know I'm not that bored." He scoffed. "I still have eight extra credit cards to spe
HANNAH'S APARTMENT."Wake up." The voice came again in her ears and this time she could feel the hand touching her cheeks.Hannah mumbled as she felt a cold hand touching and mildly shaking her."If you don't wake up I will strip you naked and kiss you." The voice echoed again mischievously and she grumbled loudly, trying to figure out the voice since it didn't sound like what she was used to. Yes, it doesn't sound like Gina's voice, she kept quiet, probably thinking she was still in her slumberland.Dragging the blanket, she slammed back with a groan but the annoying voice didn't stop, instead, the blanket was yanked off her face making her squint her eyes tightly as the morning rays hit her through the windows, her beautiful face was wrinkled and she yawned loudly, still not opening her eyes."You won't? Fine, then kiss it is." The voice said and before Hannah could grumble as usual, she felt someone's lips pressed on her forehead that was enough to draft her crazy as her eyes flutt
A silver bullet convertible sedan car was fueling up its tank at the gas station when they noticed a Bentley flying spur car pulled over and winded down."Looks like they're in a rude awakening," Liam said with a sneer, opening the car and leaning down, his hands fixed inside the black modern-cut athleisure sweatshirt he was wearing, with his buzz haircut and a lollipop sticking out his mouth as he mischievously approached Arson who was busy fueling his car. Calton and Boyld were seated in the car with the side window winded down.Allen nodded in agreement including Aidan who was looking like he wasn't in agreement with whatever Liam and Allen were saying or about to do. Allen and Aidan also stepped down from the car, walking towards Arson and his brothers with Liam taking the lead.Calton and Boyld quickly step out of the car.The atmosphere was tense and it felt like anything could happen any moment from now. As Liam and his comrades got closer, however; Arson and his brothers were
Mellisa froze in place when she took into the presence of the figure. A beast. No! Not just those beasts in the movies or her nightmare. A fucking live beast.Mellisa took a moment to swallow the hardest lump in her throat. So what she had been seeing in her dreams was real?Heaven! The beast looked frightening. It was blazing red, and was that a horn? Mellisa blinked repeatedly, thinking she was sick or probably seeing things because there was no way the beast in her dreams was real.The beast growled, showing its elongated fangs that were dripping wet with blood.Mell's legs trembled when it dawned on her she had finally met her end. Adrenaline churned through her veins; making her heart beat harder and faster as if it wanted to jump out of her chest. Her eyes were the size of a dinner plate. She was paralyzed with fear. She wanted to scream for help, but she already lost her voice.Mellisa couldn't understand what was happening and how a beast would be living at the back of the Ca
An eerie wind hit her once she stepped out of the Castle. The wind blew the trees. Startling her.Mellisa felt strange standing alone at the backyard of the mighty Castle. She felt a warning signal from her body, like those she felt the foremost when Armstrong queried her.She took her first step and halted. Then she turned her back and faced the humongous Castle that once served as her home. Mellisa stared at the enormity of the Castle and its enormous structure. She shook her head. Tears stung her eyes and her heart panged with regret.Mellisa was torn. She was sad and worried sick. Her subconscious mind wasn't letting her go. For months now she had been thinking about this day and how it would be. And now the day was here, she felt like she was doing the wrong thing.Mell knew what she was about doing was pure madness, that deep down she might regret it. However, She would rather regret the chances that didn't work than the ones she didn't attempt. She craved freedom just like a n
It had been exactly two days since Samie disguised as Armstrong and cooked gravy noodles for Mellisa. And now, Mellisa seated on the bed her escape instinct kicked in harder than before. She was cranking her brain, looking for a means to escape because she believed she got the best opportunity. Now the castle was empty and no one was around. She wondered how, and why Armstrong runs his castle's welfare. Must workers vacant same day? Well, that was a blessing in disguise. She sighed. At the drop of a hat, she went about gathering some of her things into her bucket bag. She was feeling giddy and excited. Happy to welcome the new phase of her life. Finally, any moment from now, she would be united with her family. She can't wait to sing her victory. Only the thought was enough to send tiny tingles down her spine. She huffed as she went about her business. Boyld already gave her the rundown of what the whole castle looks like. That was the day she caused the small drama at the lib
Immediately Samie teleported into the library. He gave out a heavy breath.They were right about disguising as Armstrong and doing all those kinds of stuff without Mellisa noticing. Samie realized she was smarter than they gave her credit for. He knew she recognized his voice, the doubts in her heart said it all.She was right to think the voice doesn't belong to the body. He knew she was battling with having to recognize the voice, but couldn't lay her hand on anything."Who are you? He remembered her question.He knew it was more than a question. She was very observant."How bold of you to disguise as me just to carry out those stupid things you did there?" Armstrong burned with anger. There was serious warning in his voice, and threat in his eyes as he glared at Samie."It wasn't that bad, was it?" Samie's voice lanced sardonically. He was trying to calm the demon down, because he knew his temper, and he wasn't ready to suffer a broken bone. To the demons, the healing of broken bo
"I will go get your food ready. You can come closer if you want to watch." He spoke quietly.Feeling lightheaded, Mellisa let her paralyzed body fell back on the lounge chair. She felt weak to the core."Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?" She managed to choke out a word. Barely audible.She won't blame herself. That was the only thing her brain could register after experiencing this type of shock."You are letting this little attention get into your head." Oh! The realization hits her harder like African Mothers slippers.That was the worst answer but knowing who Armstrong was, he will always show that rude side of his.Something in his eyes changed and Mellisa got a bad feeling. Like he was warning her not to let those get into her head.She felt the pressure in her chest and shook her head. Allowing the tears to burn her tears.He cured her curiosity, her fears, and her confusion more brutally.The truth she was desperate for hurt her. Making her feel like she was see
Mellisa doesn't mind if the world spins faster, she just wants to wake up.She knew something was wrong when Armstrong said."Rice-pulled noodles, right?"Like how did he know she was craving for that?She closed her eyes and listened to his voice. It was the first thing she had felt drawn to from the beginning. A pure, light-hearted voice. Full of concern. If it wasn't strangely scary, she wouldn't mind listening to that voice forever.But no, Armstrong could never, that voice doesn't belong to him. Armstrong? That cold fish could never come back to make her rice-pulled noodles, and Armstrong could never sweep and tidy messy kitchen like he was having fun in it. Like it was a piece of cake. Armstrong could never show this level of concern. This particular Armstrong is wrong. Unless he was possessed. She grumbled inwardly.Armstrong looked at her, waiting for her response for a long moment she didn't say a thing. She was too perplexed to speak. The wheel in her heart was going in dif
"Banshee.....!!! She heard a husky voice call, at some point, she thought this voice sounded familiar.She sucked in a sharp breath of slight startle when Banshee that was growling at her like she was a meal ready to be devoured took a step back. Even though Banshee looked like he wasn't satisfied with whatever that made her halt. She was happy that she wasn't devoured. That would have been worse than dying as a prisoner and allegedly spy.She twisted in fear, glancing at the closed door to where the voice came from, and froze.Standing on the entrance with the door closed, his two hands dug inside his side pockets was a man who shouldn't be here.She could feel the weight of his gaze on her shoulder and she felt sick at her thoughts. The thought of what she did minutes ago hit her like a train.What is he doing here again?She turned slightly to her left and saw Banshee, lying down with her tongue sticking out, she wasn't growling like before.She took her eyes back at the incohere
At Northern Coast. (Raiden's Resident)"Any information?" Raiden asked Paul as he stepped inside the room, his hands dug inside his pockets. He paused on his moves once he took a look at the man tied to the chair undergoing torture.Staring at him from head to toe, he nodded purely practically.The sight was brutal, the man's head was hanging low, blood dripping from his nose, and sweat all over his almost naked body."Unfortunately, no. There was no sign of Luciano, even Allen and Aidan went into hiding after Liam was abducted. Paul announced, poking his cheek inwardly, face focused on barely alive Liam."Do you think they knew he was with us?" Ivan inquired, his attention fully focused on his boss Raiden.Raiden stepped forward to where Liam was being chained down, he looked like he was lost in thought as his arms were crossed, and his thump brushing his lips. "It should interest you that Luciano is not as dumb as you think... I'm pretty sure he knows we are here and might be plannin
Once Mell was done taking her ginger drink, she approached the sack closer to the downward cabinets. Bracing herself. All confident even though she knew she suck at cooking, nevertheless, she won't sit back and starve to death. Not when she was on her period.Putting her hair in a bun, she reached out to touch the bag of flour, she could feel a gentle powderiness that caressed her hand like a whisper of snow. She could feel the soft grains of flour sliding through her fingers, leaving a smooth, silky sensation on her skin, she grinned, smiling coyly at herself as she felt the smooth content.It was rice flour. She smiled and then went ahead to measure a cupful needed to prepare her rice noodles."Today I'm going to do this. Just mix this and that, knead, and stretch. That's it." She beamed. Then stir fry, reheat, and cook. What else? She was rambling whilst bringing out the needed utensils for her cooking."Easy right?" She pouts, remembering how Jasper Cruz always prepared Rice noodl
