Harmony sighed in relief as she kept the bucket aside. She had just finished cleaning the hallway with the little help of Carmen"Glad that's over, our work's done for today. Let's get some sleep" Carmen said, stifling out a yawn"Hmmm " Harmony agreed and was about to walk with her when Lennox arrived"Sir Lennox" they both greeted the stoic looking butler with a low bow"The Lord is attending a soiree tonight and he has asked for your company, put on this dress and await his arrival downstairs" Lennox said handing her the dress and he walked away"W-what is the dress for?" Carmen asked, looking at the cloth wrapped in a pink wrapper "Not minding the dress, the Lord had asked you to go along with him to a soiree!" Carmen said unbelievably. A maid attending a soiree along with the Lord of Zludac!Harmony was as puzzled as Carmen was, she had no words to let out as she just stared at the wrapper in her hand"Come on, I'll help you put it on"....Harmony glanced at her reflection in th
Harmony nervously got down from the carriage and stared at the mansion before her. Darian stepped out from the other side and walked to stand beside herShe trailer behind him as they entered the huge mansion. The hall was noisy and filled with people, the theme was dark and maids moved round to serve the guests"Stay close" Darian said and Harmony quickly understood his plight. The hall was full and was enough for a human such as herself to get lost, in the midst of these creaturesMurmurs could be heard, servants passed with drinks on a tray and men and women in elite clothing talked amongst themselvesHarmony was beyond nervous, this was her first time attending an evening party and that too, of vampires"Lord Darian" a young man with a pleasant smile on his lips called out with a woman by his side"I'm so glad you could make it""Likewise, Duke Roman""Ooh...a human?" he said, his mouth forming an o-shape before replacing it with a smile...Harmony's eyes moved through the crowd
Samael walked inside the room for the fifth time today to see the human hasn't still regained consciousness. She had been like that for five days with no sign of her waking up(Did I take too much?) he questioned himself as he walked closer to the bed. He sat down on the bed and stared at her. Her face seemed to have gotten colours and wasn't pale anymoreHolding her hand, he placed his fingers on her wrist, wanting to check her vital signsShe made a little noise and turned to face him, he could see her eye balls moving behind her closed lidHe didn't know why but he moved his face closer to hers. His face inches away from hersAnd then, her eyes suddenly open and the first thing she saw was a handsome face incredibly close to hers"Ahhh..." she screamed and before he could react, a harsh punch landed on his face....At the soiree, Harmony had Duke Roman accompany her while Darian was away. He was a free man and Harmony could easily communicate with him, but that doesn't mean she h
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
He sucked on her skin such that it had turned red. Tears glided down from her eyes as she realized no one was going to save herJust as he was about to sink his fangs into her neck, the door burst opened with a loud bang"Who..." Roman wasn't able to complete his statement when he saw the raging eyes of DarianThe room's temperature seemed to drop a thousand degree as his cold aura increased tremendouslyThe sight of Harmony tear stained cheek, her clothes looking tattered increased the boiling rage within himHarmony trembled against the wall as she watched as Darian stalked towards her with a cold gaze"Lord Daria-" Roman's words were once again incomplete when he was suddenly slammed against the wall. His head colliding harshly against the wall such that he lost consciousness, blood seeping from behindFinally having the man away from her, Harmony's feet gave up and she fell to her kneesDarian crouched before her and caressed her head in a gentle manner, his gaze hardening when he
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
[Warning: Gory scene ahead]...Duke Roman felt fear instantly creep into his body as Darian crouched in front of him"You look confused" Darian said in a brief manner and the Duke gulped "Do you realize what you did?"The Duke shook his head in response, fearing what the Lord might do to him"I tend to become stingy and overprotective of certain things, Roman. And I like to keep my possession all to myself, to keep it away from prying eyes""L-lord Darian... I dare not l-lay a finger on anything that b-belongs to you, you got it all wrong. I-""No? You did touch her. You hurt her" Darian's voice came out dangerously hoarse and rough"Lord D-darian, I don't know what you're talking about""The human at the party, the one you took to the room upstairs, the one you almost defiled. Ring a bell?"The Duke's eyes widened in astoundment hearing what the Lord had said. He suddenly recalled what had happened before he passed out"You laid your sleazy hands on my treasure, Roman. You made her
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
