The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley An Impostor
"Where on earth did that good-for-nothing go!" Layla hissed for the nth time. It was a week already and she hadn't seen Adair ever since she blacked out in Kings Hotel. She didn't remember what happened that day other than the fact the family had dinner happily and returned home. After she woke up in the hospital, Adair had someone compel her to forget most of the things that happened that evening. Leaving only the good memories. With Adair's absence, a lot of things had been left undone. Things like the cooking, cleaning, overseeing things in the house and a lot more. Collette had to go to work everyday or cooped herself in her room when she returned. Benjamin on the other hand would stay with Layla and refuse to answer any of her questions regarding what was going on between Collette and Adair. At that moment, the man sat beside her, going through a magazine when a pillow got thrown at him. He picked it up and placed it beside him, then looked up at an annoyed Layla, "What do
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Adair Huxley Is To Blame, Aster. Not You
In Martha's penthouse A shaken Aster watched as two people dragged away the three dead bodies in front of her. "What did you do to me?" She whimpered shakily to Martha. "I gave you a gift." Martha smiled from where she stood. "A gift which costs the live of others isn't a gift, but a curse." Aster replied, her hands lips trembling. The images of her sinking her teeth into the necks of those people, how she had drained their blood within minutes greatly haunted her. She wanted to stop. She really wanted to. But the fragrant smell of their blood kept on calling onto her and before she knew it, they became lifeless. "I don't want your gift. I want to be me. Return me back to normal!" Aster tried to scream, but her voice barely came out audible. Martha raised her eyes and stared at her for a long time before scoffing. As usual, she had her lips on a glass filled with whiskey. "If you see anyone who takes alcohol like water, that person is likely to be a vampire." She said out of n
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Collette Meets With Aster
Collette walked into the psychiatrist's office for a session just like she had been doing for the last one week.The psychiatrist, who was a woman, smiled at Collette the moment she walked in. "Welcome back, Collette." The name on the table read 'Dr. Susan'.Susan, who was penning down something on a jotter, put away the jotter and followed Collette with her eyes as she sat down. "How have you been feeling?" "Better. I think I'm coming to terms with my husband's hidden identity." Collette smiled forcefully, rubbing her palms on her laps. "That's good." Susan nodded and got up from her desk. She pulled a chair closer to Collette and sat opposite her. "Do you still have recurring nightmares about what happened that night?""Yes." Collette grimaced, meeting Susan's eyes, "But they aren't as vivid as before." "Well, that's an improvement." Susan uttered reassuringly. "And do you think you're strong enough to be in the same room with your husband once again?"Collette's grip on her go
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley A Country Without Humans?
Zane saw a familiar figure leaving Collette's psychiatrist's office and frowned. He waited until Martha was gone before walking into the office as well. The shape the office was in immediately told him there was something wrong. His nose was quick to pick out the smell of fresh blood. He trailed it to a dead body whose heart had been impaled with mahogany wood from the office's table. The man squatted beside Susan's body and felt her pulse. Her body was still a little warm which told him she had been dead for only a few minutes. Zane straightened up again and took out his phone, placing a call to Adair. "Susan is dead, Lord Adair." Zane reported as soon as the call connected."Don't waste any more time there." Adair merely ordered and hung up. From how he sounded, one would think he didn't care about the incident. However, he violently slammed his hand against the wall upon hanging up.Martha was acting fast. First she attacked Collette then went directly to the psychiatrist's o
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley I'm Halsey Huxley and I've Come To Grant You A Quick Death
In Elise's LaboratoryElise had spent most of her time in the lab, restraining Halsey and thinking of a way to reduce the effect of the sire bond. Although Adair was a vampire capable of emotions, he wasn't one who had the heart to kill children. Take Iris for example. He had found out her father was hitting her at a very young age. Instead of leaving and minding his business like he was meant to, he intervened. "If only Lord Adair had the heart we would've killed her by now and taken her burden off our back." Kendall groaned from where he sat watching Elise. Halsey being a threat was not only a threat to Adair's life but also a threat to them. Being sired to Adair, they'd all die if something were to happen to him. "Besides, I thought the only way one develops this strong attachment to her sire is when the newly turned vampire is extremely grateful for the gift." Kendall said, narrowing his eyes. Halsey's eyes fluttered open at that moment and she looked around that laboratory.

Noah screamed and fell backward in fear, cowering at the sight of Halsey's bloody fangs. The screams of those behind him also sent a shrill down his spine. However, when seconds passed and he felt no pain or movement, he slowly opened his eyes and peeked through his fingers. Before him stood two people, a beautiful woman and handsome man. The man gently cradled an unconscious Halsey in his arms while the woman looked straight at Noah. He quickly got up. How could such a dignified person like him be on the floor because of a little girl! What nonsense!"Hey, take your stray and leave here!" He hissed, getting up on his feet and regaining his composure. Elise frowned, her pitiful eyes changing to that of annoyance. "Sometimes I wish I could stand by and watch ungrateful people like you die." "What did you say? Do you have any idea who I am? Who you're talking to and whose home you're in?" He asked speechless, surprised that the girl didn't view him as anything. Even if the family'
The Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley Other Than Me, No One Else On Earth Can Save You From Adair
"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 Charismatic Return Of Adair Huxley The Earlier I Kill Her, The Better
In Elise's laboratoryHalsey was awake and she was trying her best to reach the blood bag which Elise held in front of her."You think she's going to take it?" Kendall asked, walking close to them whilst massaging the side of his neck. He had been sleeping for a long time. His shoes stepped on something and he glanced down to see blood. "Why is there blood on the floor? Did a human come in?" "No." Elise shook her head, returning the blood bag to the fridge. "I'm conducting an experiment. I place the blood bag in front of her, the smell gets into her nose and intoxicates her, then she frantically reaches for it and drinks it, but throws out everything as soon as she's done." "Oh, that explains the blood on the floor. Right." Kendall nodded, looking up at Halsey. "I honestly feel pity for her.""She's a kid who was turned to a vampire at the wrong time and for the wrong reason. Martha is just heartless." Elise hissed, folding both hands underneath her bosoms.

The End
"Hello, stranger." Collette heard as she picked up an apple. She didn't need to turn around to confirm who it was. "If you hadn't shown up, I'd have been left with no choice than to believe that you have a conscience." Collette smiled, her back still turned to Hannah. "Conscience?" Hannah scoffed and walked to the shelf housing the apples. "I wasn't in a very good place when I put you in a coma which unfortunately lasted for seven years. In those seven years, Adair hasn't been much of a good ex-lover and he's been hurting. Staying out of sight and reach was the only way to guarantee my safety and that of my brother's." "Ah, I see." Collette smiled, then turned to face Hannah squarely, "My mom has absolutely no idea that her daughter was in coma for seven years. But she's throwing a feast for her return to Crest Ville after seven years of traveling the world. And everyone's invited. Even her enemies aren't left out." "Strange. Your mother doesn't strike me like such a magnanimous w

You've Been In Comatose For Seven Years
Seven Years Later A redhead, clad in baggy pants and a crop top which left her belly button out in the open, nimbly walked up the stairs of the hospital and walked towards an elevator. The elevator opened to reveal a couple making out in it. They quickly composed themselves and lowered their heads in embarrassment when they saw her. The girl smiled and placed leaned on the elevator, closing her ears as she listened to the soft sound made by the elevator as it headed up. After three minutes, the elevator slid open, and she walked out of it, what looked like a school bag, slung across her shoulder. Behind her, the couple in the elevator couldn't help poking out their head in both surprise and awe just before the doors of the elevator closed again and sent them back. This was because no one apart from the family of the person on this floor was allowed up. And it was no news that the family of this person who occupied the whole floor owned the foundation. Collette Foundation. A found

I Can't Lose To Adair
Despite Tucker's threats, Adair didn't bother with him as he bent over and carried Benjamin in his arms. “Kill her.” Tucker spoke into his phone. However, he heard nothing from the owner of the phone. “I think he's dead.” A familiar voice sounded instead. “Jordan? Of course, you're alive, and Adair had everything contained as usual.” Tucker seethed angrily and quickly left the store. He hadn't gotten far when some men, who had their faces covered, walked up to him. Almost immediately, a van pulled in front of them, and he entered the van with them. Tucker hissed numerous times as he tried his best to contain the fact he lost to Adair once again. The van drove for over an hour before it stopped under a tunnel. Tucker alighted from the van and got into a black Lincoln which was parked just beside it. The Lincoln drove out afterward and headed straight to a seven-star hotel. “Why am I being summoned when I haven't done anything?” Tucker complained as soon as he walked into a privat

Have I Ever Told You How Desperate I Am To Kill You?
It took Adair precisely eleven minutes to get to where Tucker held Halsey and Benjamin hostage. He walked in on Tucker spraying something on an unconscious Benjamin. But despite being unconscious, Benjamin would wince in pain whenever it touched him. “Don't you feel ashamed picking on someone lesser than you?” Adair mocked, making his presence known. His words didn't deter Tucker, who kept throwing the water at Benjamin. “Who said he's lesser than I? Someone who Adair Huxley calls father-in-law isn't lesser than me.” “That's that, but I still don't see how a man in his early forties is a threat to you who's more than a thousand years old.” Adair shrugged and found himself a chair to sit on. Tucker dropped the spray he held on the table and glanced above his shoulders to see Adair's cold eyes. “Those cold eyes. Why does it seem like you turned off your emotions?” Tucker asked in surprise. He was yet to hear the news about Collette getting into an accident, since Adair's men were

Adair Only Cares About Collette
“No!” Zane yelled and got up to his feet as soon as possible. However, Sharon didn't fall like he expected because someone else had taken the bullet for her. “Grab her and get out of here.” Jordan hissed, as he dug his claws into his chest and pulled out the bullet lodged in it. Tucker raised his brow before flinging the gun away. “Jordan Hale. It's been a long time.” “I hoped you'd be dead by this time of the year. What a pity that good people die early, while bad people live the longest.” Jordan said in spite. “True. That's why you, Adair, Hannah and I have lived this long.” Tucker chuckled. He had better things to do, such as torturing someone with the name Benjamin Pitt, so he didn't want to waste time with Jordan. Without another word, he rushed towards Jordan and grabbed him violently by the neck, then threw him hard against the wall. Cobweb-like cracks appeared in the spot where Jordan came in contact with. The temporary pain didn't deter him, as Jordan got up almost imme

The Attacker Gets Attacked
Adair and Hannah stared at each other for a long time. Then she lowered her head to her phone and increased its volume. “A few minutes ago, there was a ghastly accident which involved a drunk driver and a beautiful young woman. It's revealed that she bears the name Collette Huxley and is married to the multi-billionaire, Adair Huxley. This happened along…" The reporter's words were drowned out as soon as Adair's phone which was beside him rang out. “Hold on, I think I forgot to say I also compelled the driver to ram into her, then hand himself over to the police afterward. Don't you think I have a great sense of justice?” Hannah giggled. Adair reached for his phone and went numb when he saw it was a call from Collette. He first exhaled in relief when he realized Hannah was just messing with him. “Wife, are you alright?” He asked anxiously as soon as he answered the call. “This is Garrison Hospital, is this Adair Huxley, Collette Huxley's husband?” An unfamiliar voice asked inst

She Might Be Dead
Martha's Penthouse Martha walked into the house to find Tucker drinking like he had been doing for the past three days. She had a book in her hand, which she handed over to him. “I was on my way in when someone said there's a parcel for you. All they need is your signature saying you've received it before they leave.” “A parcel? I didn't order anything.” Tucker frowned, refilling his glass with whiskey. “They can't be mistaken because your name is in this book.” Martha sighed, placing the book on the table. Tucker's phone buzzed at that moment, and he glanced at it only to exhale in disappointment, seeing it was a commercial message. “I can turn them away if that's what you want.” Martha said, reminding him there was still something for him to do. Reluctantly, Tucker reached for the book and signed it. Martha took it and left the house. She returned later with a coffin-like wrapped package. “Is it just me or does it look like a coffin?” Halsey asked, appearing from nowhere. S

I'm Sure Your Death Will Be Avenged
1627, Crest Ville Main MarketThe sun was bright and hot when it came in contact with the skin of humans as usual, but this didn't stop them from carrying out their daily activities. Among them was a woman who went from stall to stall asking one question, “I buy vervain for a very handsome price. Do you have any to sell to me?” Suddenly, she got pulled into a corner by an elderly woman. “Going around the market asking for who has vervain is the most stupid plan I've heard in a long time. It'll only be a matter of time before he finds out what you're doing. Get a grip on yourself, Hannah!” The elder woman berated the younger one. Hannah, who had her red hair held up neatly with a pin and had on a simple floral gown, sighed and shrugged the woman's hand away. “I know what I'm doing, and I'm more careful than usual. For example, do you know Jordan is walking around the market as we speak?” Hannah scoffed. “Jordan Hale? Adair's right-hand man?” The elderly woman asked to confirm th

Don't You Think It's Too Much Of A Coincidence?
Adair stayed home the next day, much to the surprise of Collette. “Are you staying at home because you want to, or you're staying at home, so I won't be kidnapped like yesterday?” Collette asked guiltily. She was currently sitting in front of her working table while Adair laid on the bed fiddling with his phone. When he heard her, he paused and towards her. “I'm thinking of getting you a rope. We'll tie it on our waists, so we don't wander far from each other whenever we go out together.” Adair said, a little too serious. Collette, who was about to laugh, froze. Wait, what? “You're not serious, right?” She asked in horror. Adair, who initially had his serious face on, laughed and got out of bed. He walked up to her and shrugged, “It's no longer safe to leave you at home. Especially with Tucker and Hannah around.” “Hannah mentioned something called vervain. She explained to me, it was something capable of keeping vampires from messing with our head. Why don't you get it for me?”
