“Thank you for saving my ass.” I giggle nervously as Cole drops me at home after the hangout with my mum and my friends, which gratefully went well without any hiccup.I wanted to call a cab to lick my embarrassed wounds in peace but he insisted on dropping me at home that he didn't mind, and to further cement our relationship in case one of mum's friends was lurking around and staring at us.“It is a fine ass I don't mind saving.”I feel as if his eyes dart to my ass but I doubt that. There is nothing impressive about my ass to look at.I blush. “Thank you.”If not for him, I would be crying and begging my mum on my knees for lying to her.“You are welcome.”His eyes seem to darken as they glance at me. I write it off as my imagination.“Okay.” I say, at a loss of what to say.He isn't making any move to leave and I don't want to be the first to leave. It feels rude to do that after what he did for me.“Uhm, I should go.” He says.I nod, wishing he won't have to. “Bye, Ember.” I no

I can't tell mum that I lied. It's too late for that now.. If I know her well, the whole city has probably heard about my upgraded relationship status two seconds after ending the call with me.It will kill her to find out that I had lied to her. It will kill me too to tell her that I lied to her.My dear. That was what she said afterward. I can't remember the last time she had said that. It was always daughter, girl, lady or old maid. I don't want to go back to that girl her mother isn't proud of.I munch on my abandoned pizza, thinking of what to do. My mind flicks to the memory of a conversation I've overheard at work and I smile at my luck.Dropping my pizza once again, I pick up my phone, download the app and book myself a male escort for Sunday.With a satisfied smile on my face, I turn to my pizza, munching happily and wishing that Sunday will come quickly.“Oh my!” I gasp as I open the door and stare at the man on my doorstep. “You look good, Cole.”His pictures don't do him j

I glance at my phone with disinterest, watching as it rings. It's normal for it to ring. It's my birthday after all. And it's normal for me not to pick the call. It's my phone.What is not normal though is my mum calling repeatedly for the past twenty minutes and still not stopping.I dare to check the phone when it stops ringing. Forty-eight missed calls.I pout, knowing that the count is right. I had even thought that the calls would be more than that.As if she senses where she is that I'm closer to the phone, she starts calling again. I sigh, wondering how many minutes she is going to call for this time.I pick the call, finally pitying my poor phone. I don't need my phone blowing up, especially not today when I feel so messed up.My manager walks in with a hefty pile of files. “I need this done before you leave, Ember.”I roll my eyes. Of course, he doesn't remember that it's my birthday even though a few colleagues had wished me this morning right in his presence. His wicked p

“Thank you.” I mutter as I receive the package.I don't even know that he remembers my birthday. It has been a busy day that I didn't tell anyone at work. I didn't know that he knew and cared.“Thank you.” I say again, flicking back the tears stinging my eyes.He clears his throat. “I'm not a beast anymore, right?”I laugh. “Oh! You are still a beast.”He laughs, throwing his head back. “I thought I've been able to bribe you.”I smirk. “Not enough.”“Will this be enough though?” He says, leaning in.My heart beat picks up speed.Before I can blink, he wraps his hand around my neck and pulls me closer. His lips come down on mine and capture mine in a kiss that leaves me reeling with desire and shock.What was that?He smiles as he raises his head. “Which of your birthday gifts do you like?”“What!” I mutter, brain turned to mush.I can't think properly.He looks at me with a satisfied smirk, knowing exactly what he did to me. “Do you go around kissing every girl on her birthday?” I fr

“Dr. Raven.” A nurse yells as she rushes to my side.I glance up, fighting the urge to rub my aching muscles and crack my neck. “What is it?”“An emergency patient just got wheeled in.”Of course, they did.“Let someone else handle it.”“All the other doctors are busy.”Of course, they are.Sometimes, I wonder why I had to choose emergency medicine of all the specialization I could have chosen.“Let's go.” I say and wave to the nurse to lead the way.If my legs could speak, they would yell at me to find a chair and balance my ass prettily instead of trying to save another dying specie of the human population.“What do we have here?” A male doctor brushes past me, heading straight to one of the emergency stalls.I roll my eyes, pretending not to notice him. The last thing I want at the moment is to deal with Niklaus. He is the most overbearing, annoying, and unnecessarily intelligent doctor I've ever known.“What is going on here?” I turn to the nurse.She blushes, probably hating hers

We have barely gotten inside before he slams me against the door and takes my lips in his.“I can't believe you are driving me this crazy.” He groans, his groin pressed against me as he presses me against the door.“Me too,” I confess.I didn't imagine this when I proposed being his fake date but I don't mind this ending to a great day.“Can I?” He stares at me, his hand hovering at the back of my dress.I nod.He shivers as he unzips and slides my gown down. He whistles in appreciation. “You've been naked all day.” His eyes glow as he glances at my naked form.“This dress isn't made for bras.” I explain. “And pant lines may show so I didn't bother.”“Damn it, Lucy.” He shakes his head in amusement. “You are effortlessly sexy.”“And you also know how to drive a woman crazy.” I grin. “You are good at this.”“I am?” I nod. “I'm glad you are impressed. For a moment, I was nervous I won't match up to your standards.”“You are the standard now, Lucian.”He chuckles. “I know you are sayin

Damon’s POV “Where is Nora?” I asked the first person I saw as I walked into the house, barely closing the car door before rushing in.The eyes of the gardener filled with fear, assuming that I intended to bark at her as I had been doing lately. How fast news traveled in the house that those who didn't work inside knew about what was going on.Jane walked past at that moment and I ran toward her, leaving the old gardener who seemed to have his tongue tied.“Where is Nora?”I got the same reaction from her. Her eyes widened with fear and I sighed, hating the monster they were making me out to be.I guessed I deserved that.I hoped she would get her wit on time and tell me where Nora was. I didn't want to tell her that I remembered Nora and didn't mean her any harm.If anyone had to know that I got my memories back, it should be Nora first.“Jane?” I urged, impatience dripping from my voice.“She is not at home.”My heart crashed, believing the worst had happened. Nora had gotten fed u

Damon’s POV My head was a mess.I groaned as I stepped out of the car, heading toward the reception.“Good afternoon, sir.” The blond receptionist smiled at me.“I need a suite.” I said, wiping out my card.She must have realized that I didn't have time to be friendly as the smile wiped off from her face and she got professional.I slumped into the bed, thinking of all I had heard and seen, and started sorting through the storm in my head.A lot had clearly happened which I struggled to grasp.Hart had betrayed me.I had been involved in many scandals.My business had gone down.The investors had been on the verge of leaving.I had been married.I had been divorced.I had gotten myself a mistress while married to a woman I supposedly didn't love.Why was it that a lot had happened to me but I couldn't remember?And why was it that I found it hard to believe what my family and everyone said even though they had shown me pictures and documents to back their claims?I knew the answer to

Nora's POV “You are a good artist.” He noted dryly.My heart went crashing back to the ground. “I didn't draw these.”“How not surprising.” He mocked. “You don't look like one who has talents.”I winced. “You drew this.”He snorted, his eyes narrowed in suspicion. “I don't draw. Not anymore.”“You now do.” I pointed out.He scoffed. “You don't know anything about me. You are just my mum's pawn.”I couldn't take it anymore. “I'm the one you love.” I screeched.“Love?” His lips twisted as if he could taste the word and it was bitter on his tongue. “Don't be ridiculous. I don't love you. I don't even intend to love anyone.”The sound of a cup smashing to pieces snapped me back to reality. His words had hurt me so much that I had gone still, my limbs frozen with pain.Damon’s eyes filled with anger as he stared at the broken cup and back to Jane who looked as pale as a ghost.“What is wrong with you?” He snarled at her.Jane jumped with fright.“Don't snap at her.” I said, jumping up and

Nora's POV “What?” Cara gasped. “You don't know who she is?”“Would I have asked you if I knew who she was?” He groaned.I sighed, grateful that he had kept his sarcasm even if his memories had jilted him.No, not his memories. His memories of me alone. That felt like hell and I wondered how it was that I was still standing upright with how dead my heart was.Cara glanced at me, biting her lips and I winced, knowing she was confused on how to introduce me to Damon.I decided to help her out. “I'm someone you know.”His frown got deeper. “I don't think so. I have a good brain and will remember it if I know you.”Cara ran outside. She was in few minutes later with the doctor. He congratulated him on waking up and did a few checks on him.“Can we talk outside?” He gestured at me and Cara.We nodded and went with him. “It appears he has amnesia.” He informed us.“Can he get better?” Cara asked.He shrugged. “Depends on him. Since he lost only a part of his memories and not all, I assume

Nora's POV Three Weeks LaterI sighed as I sat by his bed, his hand caressed by mine, and prayed for him.The nurse’s eyes melted with pity as she glanced at me while checking his vitals. She nodded to herself and walked away. A heavy sigh escaped my throat at the reality of yet another monotonous day. That was it. They checked his vitals while I sat still with hope turning my insides out. They would nod and assure me that he was healing perfectly fine.Why hadn't he woken up then? I glanced at him again, letting the tears flow from my eyes. I had a lot to tell him. I had a lot to hear from him.With each passing day, I ached for him. I wanted to hear his voice again. I wanted him to smile at me again. I wanted to feel his arms around me.“Wake up, Damon.” I breathed, bringing his hand up for a gentle kiss.“Nora,” Cara sighed as she walked into the room. I jumped up so she could sit beside Damon but she waved me off not to bother, averting her eyes.I let out a sigh as I settled

Nora's POV I would have asked more questions if Damon hadn't gotten wheeled out of the operation room at that time. I flew to my feet, running toward the bed.“Damon,” I cried, tears running down my cheek as I ran with the nurses as they took Damon to his room.The salty taste of the tears was a welcome distraction from the turmoil in my heart. Who wanted Damon dead that they would tamper with his car?That had to have happened while he parked the car at the company as he wouldn't have made it to the office if the car had been tampered with at home.Was that what Hart had to do with the case?“He is unconscious at the moment, ma'am, but we will let you in once he is stable.” The doctor said, stopping me from going in with Damon.“Will he wake up?”His eyes softened, probably seeing how on edge I was and how I was barely holding on. “Of course, he will. When he will wake up though depends on him. Let's just hope for the best.”I knew a dismissal when I got one and moved to drill the c

Sabrina's POV “I hear we are together.” I rolled my eyes as I stared at the couple before me, their hands tucked into each other's and behaving as if they were the only ones who existed in the universe.I was also standing with my boyfriend and didn't rub my relationship status on everyone's faces.Boyfriend? It still felt good to think that.“We are.” Kael replied Janie. I didn't bother at all.“Where are we going?” Jack asked.I was tempted to slap them. Didn't they listen at all in class when the professor gave instructions to the groups?I sighed, leaving the talking to Kael. I might end up killing them if I had to say something.Kael sighed. “Group four, we are going to Bonusa village.”“Bonusa village?” Janie screamed dramatically.I would have assumed that she was on fire if she wasn't before me and I could see how perfectly fine she was.“Is there a problem?” Kael asked calmly.I glanced at him, admiring his patience.How could this person be a vampire? He was meant be a sa

Sabrina's POV Lucy had run to my wardrobe before I was done with the call.“Wear these.” She threw a pink top and a pair of trousers at me.I squeezed my nose. “They are too flashy.”She frowned. “Not at all. This is what I call flashy.” She pulled up a black gown adorned with stones and beads. “Will you like to wear this instead?”I shook my head and glanced at the pink top and the trousers. “They are too much for just a simple meet and greet.”“Meet and greet? Who says you are only greeting? You might end up kissing and you want to look attractive enough to make him want that.”I blushed. “Lucy, stop.”She wouldn't. “And there is nothing simple about meeting a hot boyfriend.”I was beginning to regret showing her Kael's picture. “I hear you.”“I'm not letting you out of this room if you don't dress properly. And you better not plan to wear that grey sweatshirt and pants.” I blushed, hating how she could read my mind. “Fine. I will wear what you chose.”“Good.” She grinned. “Do I n

Sabrina's POVI smiled, pressing my toes together as I stared into my phone. These feelings were new but totally not unwelcome. I loved them. I loved the person who evoked them in me. I loved Kael.I gasped as the realization flooded my mind.What? So soon?I was in love with Kael Blad, a vampire. Normally I was meant to freak out but I didn't feel any ounce of panic, even knowing that I might lose my life for being with him.I knew the risk but I didn't know I was going to fall in love with him so soon, just few days after agreeing to be his girlfriend… ‘and see where it goes’.Oh! Damn, I was done for.Beautifully done for.“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, eyeing me from where she was.“Yes, I'm fine.” I nodded without looking at her, blushing at Kael’s new message.Kael: Just one date, Sabrina. A proper one and not meeting only in class and holding hands afterward.Awwwn. He was cute.I was still blushing when another message popped in.Kael: I'm begging here, practically on my knees. O

Sabrina's POV “Sabrina Brooks!”I jumped and winced at the thunder in the professor’s voice. The way he looked at me sent shivers through my spine. “He has been calling your name for a while.” Kael whispered beside me.I blushed. I really should stop zoning out when I was with people.“Sir,” I replied.“You are in group four.” He hissed at me and moved on to the next student.Group four? What was that about?I turned to Kael, confusion etched on my face and hoping for an explanation.He took a glance at my face and burst out in laughter, earning some annoyed glares from some of our classmates.“We are to make research and write an essay as a group.” He explained.Oh!“Thank you.” I breathed. “What group are you in?”“Four.”Lucky me.“Who are the others with us?”“Jack and Janie.”I rolled my eyes. I might as well be without them in the group. Those two didn't care about anything that didn't have to do with them.“Should I compel them to cooperate?” He whispered.“You wouldn't dare.

Sabrina’s POV “Are you listening to me at all?”I jumped, my face coloring immediately with guilt.“You weren't listening.” She concluded and sighed without waiting for my response.She didn't have to. My expression said it all.“What was the last thing you heard me say?”She was trying to give me a chance but unfortunately, I hadn't listened to anything that she said. Nothing at all.She pouted. “I've been talking for one hour, Sabrina.”I winced, hating to be a terrible friend. “I'm sorry, Lucy.”“Where were you?”Thinking of a certain boy that I shouldn't be thinking of.I shrugged. “Here with you.”She snorted. “I meant your spirit.”Definitely where it shouldn't be.“I'm sorry I wasn't listening. I'm with you now.”I needed a distraction anyway. I should stop thinking of a certain vampire before Mother Nature decided to punish my sinful heart.Lucy smiled, eager to tell me of the way her boyfriend doted on her. Unfortunately for her, I tuned out again.******My heart skipped a

Kael's POVMy blood supply was dwindling and I needed to go home for more. The last thing I needed was to run out suddenly and start puncturing holes into the necks of my colleagues."Good to have you home, son." Mum pulled me into an embrace as I parked and stepped out of my car."Me too, mum." I said and wrapped my hands around her. "I miss everyone.""Let's go inside. You're lucky your father is still around. We all miss you.""Isn't that your younger son's voice I hear outside?"I went still as I heard the voice from the living room. I never wanted to be in close quarters with the leader of our clan but he was an undesirable guest who wouldn't stop coming to our house."Is Bastian around?" I whispered in mum's ear so no one else asides her would hear.Mum knew I didn't feel comfortable with Bastian and understood why I had whispered in her ear. She nodded in response instead of voicing it out.My heart sank in my chest and I hated that I would have to leave the second I get the b
