Marley had gotten a ten minutes acquaintance with the twins since Kate—as she preferred he called her—let him wait for Zaphrina inside. The young lady's calm demeanor gave him a sense of peace."So...are you dating my sister?" Lorna inquired as she scrutinized his seated and wandering physique.The home was quite cozy but a little too tiny. The sitting room was dotted with only necessary furniture to conserve some space. Truth be heard, he hadn't known people actually resided in homes as such. At least he learned something: he learned that people who struggled to make ends meets and lived simply were the happiest in the society."Uh...yh. I guess," he retorted, not exactly knowing what to say with respect to the current terms he and Zaphrina were in."What do you mean 'I guess'?" Lorna pushed."Lorna," the gentle Lola butted in. "You're making our guest uncomfy. It's ok with the questions alre

Zaphrina had left her hiding place, apparently, she had been squatting on the other side of a car parked at the estate corridor still in her uniform.She hadn't time to change for she knew if she did that, Marley would've definitely caught up with her.She took a cab home once exposed to the highway, she blankly stared through the window with glassy eyes. The traffic wasn't helping matters as it left her thinking really hard.She kept wiping her eyes trying as much as possible not to break down in the open, especially with the driver shooting stares at her through the rearview mirror.She entered home to see her mom fidgeting in the sink, from the look of things, it hadn't been long she entered home judging by her appearance.Zaphrina dropped her bag on the floor, the thud causing her mum's head to spin."Oh my God, Zaphrina, what happened?"The latter's countenance suddenly f

Time was wearing out and he still hadn't been an inch to finding his sister who was oddly littering a portion of the mad world.Marley hadn't spared a day without calling Inspector Darren to know how far into the investigation he had gone but it was one and the same story he had been reporting to him every day.Luckily, he had a supporting hand who seeded sanity in him whenever he was on the verge of madness.His door swung open and in came Zaphrina. She flicked the lights on, holding a breakfast tray in one hand. She beamed a priceless smile at him while walking to the Ottoman."Wake up sleepy head. Breakfast is served," Marley didn't move. "Cut the pretense unless you want me to do so the hard way,""Can't you be sweet for once and just join me in bed?" he muffled in the covers before taking them off with a sigh.Zaphrina shrugged then set on opening the heavyweight curtains

It's been four days since Louisa went missing. While Marley had been busy searching for her, she had been busy laying assistance in one way or the other; made sure he had something to feed on, slept earlier than usual. Sometimes, she would offer to give him a massage against his will.Leila and Anna never stopped giving her the looks, silently pleading for explanations during those times. Gossip girls.Zaphrina sadly hadn't woken up on the good side; weariness and sudden cravings made her morning. She had called Marley first thing that day informing him about her absence but as he is, he flamed up. Bombarding questions upon questions.Are you sure you're ok? I mean...You've been taking care of me more than yourself lately.Do you need me over?I could return the massages, sadly, not for free.Is there anyone home who might assist you with anything? If not, I'm on my way.

She hadn't thought of it earlier; she had an additional hater on her list. She should have known Marley's mum's the only person capable of digging into her past for reasons she was still to comprehend.The woman really hadn't respect for one's privacy and if she really wanted to have a successful relationship with Marley, ignorance definitely was the key.Marley had insisted to take her home to get body and mind settled. He assured her to do everything in his might to keep his mum from meddling into their personal lives. However, that really didn't boost her up as his mum's menaces repeatedly played in her head.She didn't have just her being to safe, the developing embryo in her had the sun to behold sooner.The car had come to a stop, bringing her back to presence."Thank you," She began. "I'm really sorry about Louisa missing,"Marley nodded with a faint smile brushing his lips

His eyes flicked to his mum who had just walked in, satisfaction gracing her facial features, leaving Marley to hope and re-hope she hadn't done or said something stupid to Zaphrina.They were all in the massive sitting room where his dad sat, brooding over Louisa's disappearance with Lauren and himself waiting for an explanation and planning a way forward.Lauren looked beaten up which left him with guesses of his job crawling his neck.They both exchanged glances as their mum stood in the middle of the triad, arms folded in apprehension, scrutinizing each and every one of them.Frederick, whose gaze hadn't drifted from emptiness finally said,"I told her the truth," his expression still void of sentiments.Unlike Marley and Lauren, bewilderment slinked through Anthonia. As if expecting a piece of mind-blowing vital information, Anthonia ambled to the nearest seat which would support her alre

Three minutes to my date's arrival, I was standing infront of my full length mirror digesting my new look. The barely noticeable makeup I had complemented the blush pink lace dress I had on. It was given to me on my sixteenth birthday by my cousin Neiyah.Love at first sight defined the dress and I, well that was before I got it out of its sophisticated rectangular box. Its length was so not me: three inches below my butt. Immediately, I tossed the pieced of material somewhere in my closet until this day. Change is the only constant thing.The doorbell brought me back to earth, my heart began to race with fingers crossed, I prayed everything goes on smoothly as I planned.I smoothen the edges of the hair which led to a perfect ponytail.Here stood a part of my heart, looking dangerously handsome in his immaculate white-rolled up sleeved shirt on a pair of black skinny jeans and black converse. His lips owned a beautiful blood red rose flower

This place has a habit of giving me goosebumps, not just the secluded house but the neighborhood too, it was simply lifeless and unhabitable. This place was definitely no way part of town— unreasonable distance from the last house this one and no house after it.How Jess came across this place, is an unanswered question. I realized I had been standing in front of the house for while, not because I was thinking on how to enter but because I was terrified to the core. I leaned my bicycle to a big tree beside Mr. Booky's home.Ok Aud, here we go.I walked up to the door and gave it a knock, another one followed when no reply came up during the first knock. I sighed, he probably wasn't home, perhaps I should go and return some other time. I pivoted to begin my journey back home but was stopped midway into the beginning of the journey by the sudden sound of a iron falling onto the floor. I stared at the tattered house to glue my eyes on the dormer

You will have to pass through me first father.” Lucy protested.Her father's eyes widened in surprise and disappointment. He raised a hand to one of the guards who had already reached for Tony's right hand to stop.Trying to keep calm the king turned to Anna,“ Why is she here Anna? Punishment awaits you for disobedience of royal order. ”“ Leave her out of this father.” Lucy interrupted. “ I acknowledge my mistake upon the land. But you left me with no choice father.”“ You are my only child Lucy and the last thing I'll ever do is hurt you despite your unforgivable mistake.” he walked to his daughter and cupped her cheek with his right hand, his thumb gently stroking her temple accompanied by a faint smile. “ I need just one thing from you daughter.”“ Anything I'll do to save the father of my unborn.”The king flinched at her words. “ I do not want you around him till it is born.”

“Who has she been seeing?” king Alfred gushed as he looked down at his wife with furrowed brows.“ N-no one your highness.” her face was plastered to the floor with both hands crossed in front of tighs.“ You have the guts to lie in my face Marla? I'll ask you one more time. Who did this to her?” he hurled.With shaky hands and teary eyes, she let go the little information she had been keeping all along concerning her daughter,though it wouldn't help the catastrophic damage.“ Tony he is called.” she lifted her head and tried reaching her husband's arm for a little strength and comfort though she already knew how he would react to it. As right as she was he simply took a step back.“ believe me your highness, I wasn't aware of anything until four weeks ago. I begged her but she wouldn't listen, I tried—”“ You didn't try hard enough woman.” his voice was so loud that it echoed through the empty corridor.

Alex's POV.I didn't like to intrude into people's privacy until now, last I checked the vampire detecting machine wasn't in existence until couple of minutes ago.Valérex was the dreamland before the unbelievable occured.Werewolves became our worst enemies and vice versa, reasons why some goddamm guy created this machines to detect the presence of any vampire an inch away from Rexo, the werewolf kingdom, then I checked again, this guy was practically burned alive like six hundred years ago...how in the world does this come about??There's only one way to know.Luck being on my side, she spent not much time with Aud after school. The earlier I did what I had to do, the better for me, and my future too.After what seemed like an hour of stalking, I decided to take actions."Hold on I'll be there in a bit."That was pretty much of a time, considering the slow human moves in addition to the fact she's fe

“Your Majesty, her temperature seems to increase each flying second.” Anna reported, her head focused on the marble floor with both hands formally crossed.Queen Marla frowned. Reached for the bed where her only daughter laid.“Dear lord! I hope it's just a little fever.” She Prayed.“Should your highness be informed?” Anna asked. Head still focused to nothing but the floor.Already seated Queen Marla did nothing but nod to the maid. Her eyes gently closed releasing colorless pair of tears. She reached for the towel on Lucy's head and dipped it into the already Luke warm water.“How is she? ” King Alfred stopped pacing back and forth immediately he spotted the man in an immaculate white apron over a pair of pants leaving his daughters room.Worry and fear was now written all over Queen Marla's face.The grey haired doctor appeared with a worried look on his f
