Isabella walk through the hall tiredly, her heart aching and she could not pinpoint why. She ignores the maids greetings and walk to the large living room where she saw joyce crying.
" Huh, Joyce what's going on ? " She rush to her friend in concerned.
Joyce took her time before sniffing.
" I saw it. I saw how step father attacked you. He doesn't seem like himself, although i am scared of the beast that live in him but he is never like that. He love mum a lot. I just don't understand why he killed... " Tears didn't allow her to finish. She burst into tears sniffing." Oh goodness, come here darling " Isabella cooed , walking to joyce to gave her a hug. " Hayden will keep him in control " she said silently before patting her back.
Just then the door bell rang out, the maid answered it. A minute later Farrell walk into the living room slowly.
The best friend regard him with surprise expression. He shifted uncomfortably as if he was been forced to enter.
" joyce? " He called exchanging glances between Isabella and Joyce for he doesn't recognize her.
" Yes " Joyce answered getting on her feet. " What is wrong with step father? " She asked gently keeping her emotions at bay.
Farrell smile ruefully at her.
" Master needs you to come, your step father is at Beast clan" he said and Joyce quickly step forward eager to follow him.
" No! " Isabella countered " i will go with her " She said stepping forward also but Farrell shot her a narrow look.
" No, master doesn't want to see you. He made it clear to me that you shouldn't tag along, do not worry. Joyce will be safe " he turn to Joyce with a small pitiful smile " Let's go "
Joyce face Isabella who was getting very angry at Hayden already.
" I will be fine." Joyce inform her friend and walk out with Farrell.
Farrell sat behind the wheel expecting Joyce to sit at the back but his expectation doesn't come true because Joyce open the car door and sat beside him.
He shifted uncomfortably before starting the car. He finally pulled into beast clan and alighted. He waited patiently for Joyce to come down as well and they both walk into the big company.
Hayden sat back wondering why Isabella words has hurt him so much.
" I don't think you have the right to tell me what to do. " He clenched his jaw tightly in annoyance. He has been giving orders throughout his life and had become accustom to it but tonight Isabella shrugging him off hurt his ego.
He raised up his head to see Joyce and Farrell. He could feel the sadness in Joyce's heart, he stood up and walk to her before pulling her to a hug.
WHAT! Hayden hug me??. Oh my goodness, this moment shouldn't end. Joyce scream to herself.
As usual it works out. Hayden has felt her sadness and her great desire to be closer to him. Now that he granted her wish , her sadness ease up a bit.
" Your step father has lost his mind. I really do not know what happens to those three that go berserk and i fear if i didn't take any action they will ran away again so I'm sending them to the cave. " He explained to Joyce who stare at his face dreamily.
If it wasn't for the presence situation and that he was planning to get Bethroed with her best friend she wouldn't mind to invite Hayden to bed.
He is just insanely handsome. She thought to herself.
" Do you want to see him ? " Hayden asked gently but joyce who has regain control of herself hanged her head sadly before shooking it.
" I don't, just send him peacefully to the cave. "She sniffed to keep herself from crying " can i go home now? "
" Yes but wait. Your step father was one of my favorite employee here in beast clan. Will you mind taking his post if you want? "
Joyce stop breathing for a moment, turning to Hayden with a shock expression.
" Really? You mean here? " She asked in disbelief and Hayden nodded.
" Don't be too delight, you will have to work hard if you agree to be my employee and i can be mean something so ... "
" Of course Hayden... Oh I'm sorry. I mean uh... Master ... Right? " She asked stammaring. She couldn't believe she has been asked to be an employee in beast clan.
As far as she knows almost every females in double world desire to work with the sexy Hayden dark.
After concluding to work in beast clan starting from the next week Joyce was sent home.
She alighted from the car , waving at Farrell , she walk into MT castle smiling happily.
She was quite happy , Thanks to the little conversation she had with the leader of beasts family .
She tiptoed softly to her room not wanting to alert Martin or Isabella step mother.
She walk into her comfy large room and sat on the bed smiling.
" What is so funny ? " Isabella asked from the doorway , her voice jerking Joyce back to reality.
" Issy " she called standing up. Isabella walk to her, her hands folded beneath her breasts.
" What is the visit about. Is your step father okay ? Did you see Hayden? " She asked reluctantly. She couldn't help but feel miserable when Joyce Left without her. The thought of Hayden not wanting to see her makes her hurt somehow.
" Of course, issy i really love the leader of beasts family. He is so cute and considerate. He even offer me a job "
" Huh? Hayden offer you a job? At where? " She asked in awe.
" Where else? Beasts clan of course. You know he is the CEO. " Joyce replied in a singsong voice.
" No way, the beast clan isn't meant for humans. The company is full of Beasts " She replied with concealed jealousy.
" I heard humans work there too and their pay is very okay. I could get back home and start living by myself as i have ,always "
Isabella rolled her eyes smirking.
" I don't think dad will allow that. You're part of Martin family now "
She said to joyce but she wasn't even listening , she sniffed her clothes passionately and smiled brightly to the surprise of Isabella." I think he gave you more than a job " she murmured trying to sound uninterested.
" Sure,he gave me a hug "
WHAT THE FUCK! Isabella scream loudly to herself.
" Tell me you are kidding " She said in a trembling voice that Joyce stop to stare at her, confused.
" Why are you getting worked up? I thought you said you do not like this guy "
" He is my fiance for goodness sake, he shouldn't be flirting around " She quickly replied in annoyance.
Joyce stop her face wide with surprise
" Isabella " she called in a serious tone. " I think you love him "
" What? " She asked in fear. Not wanting to believe it.
" You love him, Hayden dark. I think you finally fall for him "
" Did i ? How can i fall for him just like that ?" She asked silently wishing she was wrong.
Hayden step into his domain and sighed softly. No one is in sight and he knew the Beast lord and Leah would have vanished into thin air. He sighed again while taking his sit om his couch.Everything was in vain. The paranormal abilities and the effort to bring back the dead. He held out his palm to stare at them dejectedly. His thoughts went to Kyle and Farrell and he gulped down nervously. He was more devastated than anyone else. The death of the two was so much for him to take in. Farrell wasn't just a friend or his messenger and Kyle was much more than merely a secretary. Hayden has nothing to smile upon anymore, nor does he wish to be happy. He sat there on the couch for the whole day without movie any inch. He didn't weep nor did he lamented. He only sat there carried away by his bitter thought. ***" You should move in with us Joyce, i have explained all to my dad. We all know Kyle won't come back nor Jenny or Farrell " She stood in Joyce's living room staring at her bes
Hayden signed softly when he stare up at his house. Nothing makes him happier but the thought of Jenny and Farrell filled his troubled mind.He hang down his head before gritting his teeth.All hope was not lost yet, we still got Baby Rell with us. He thought to himself sorrowfully.Finally he was jerked off from his thoughts when Isabella walk to him." I need to check on my dad Hayden " She whispers tiredly " It's been almost a month " He only nodded in response. He turned to the others before nodding." I need sometime alone with my father " Jansen only sighed in response." i will go and check on Camille and the children " Jansen answered smiling weakly. He turn to Joyce who still couldn't believe Kyle was lost forever. she gulped down nervously , trying hard not to cry. " You should stay safe Joyce " " Thanks " She mutters weakly to Jansen.Hayden was busy watching everyone. He sighed again. " Be safe you two " He said to Isabella and Joyce " Just say a word if you ... " He
Kyle and Farrell finally appeared from the bush. The others have been waiting for them. Isabella smile at them , she was leaning against the car with Joyce next to her. Sidney was already seated in the driver's seat while Jansen and Tyler was at the backseat." We are sorry for taking so long " Kyle apologize while Farrell smile softly." Anyone had breakfast yet? " Farrell asked tucking his head inside the car beside Sidney. " Not yet " Jansen replied from the back " I think no one is hungry " Farrell straighten up and face the ladies outside. " You care for any food? " He asked them but they shook their heads in the negative. " Let's get moving then " he announced loudly.After about ten minutes they finished packing up their bags and ready to leave. It is a sunny cool day with the birds chirping lovingly around the vicinity. The journey began with them having light conversation and laughter. Gradually tall trees start revealing themselves, the vicinity was disturbingly silent
" My name is Rasmus and I am an only child " The Beast Lord started " Born without wealth and riches i am subjected into poverty at my early age. My poor father, a peasant farmer would toil the earth for many months with his tiny rusty hoe but that never was enough to provide for the family three square meal a day. I have to survive this ! i have to help mum and dad out of this misery. I woul say to myself many times. One fateful day i had an encounter with Leah, stunningly beautiful lady that caught my heart at once. We become friends eventually and along the line we fell head over heel in love with each other. unknown to me she is a princess " He stop suddenly to catch his breath, Staring at Isabella especially.Sidney who has been listening curiously give way to his anxiousness and asked." Is there a King at that time? " " Yes, there is a cruel King. He lives for many years to make my life miserable " He stop speaking to catch his breath. Farrell who has been watching him care
Hayden gulped down uncomfortably as he keep his Golden eyes on his father waiting for him to clear the confusion that was building in him." Continue father. Beast lord did what ? " He asked after a long minutes of silence. Pride walk away to the window and peer down." You aren't just a Beast Hayden. You are something else " He said gently looking out of the window and the cool breeze blows his hair backward." How do you mean father? If I'm not just a beast then what else am i ? How and why do i have to be different ? " Now he is panicking. A small like rock has settled in his stomach and he is having a hard time to drive it away." I don't know as well but when you were born... You are different " Pride replied in a low tone. This didn't help but just to increase the uneasiness of Hayden.He took a long stride to his father breathing roughly. He cant stay calm, no. This is about him being something else which he didn't Know." How do you mean different father... Explain to me in d
The drive to Beast quarter was a silent, tensed one. Finally Farrell who was driving heave a sigh of relief when he finally pulled into the Grandiose building and the massive gate open per his request.“ Let’s go Kyle ” Jansen said “ Stay close alright? ” “ Alright ” He said nodding.They entered the building cautiously and Kyle did as Jansen had advised him. “ Why are you here? ” The harsh voice of Neil came into their hearing as soon as they step into the building. “ Oh you have come to see Their criminal? ” Jansen scoffed softly. He knew Neil would never dare to call Pride a criminal in the presence of Hayden. They all know that it was only happening because of Hayden’s absence. “ We are here to see Pride Dark ” Farrell corrected “ Master’s father ” Neil gate vary from Farrell to Jansen and finally fell on Kyle. “ Isn’t that the Goblin we needed? ” Kyle stay closer to both the men in fear. His breathing hard and rasp all of a sudden. “ We are only here to have some words wi
Isabella couldn't believe her own eyes as she stare at her reflection in the mirror. She turn slowly to see the white painted room drifting back to normal. Horrified about what is happening for she couldn't see Sidney on the bed anymore. Isabella heard her name and she jerk awake instantly. " Issy are you alright? You have been sleeping " Joyce voice came into Isabella's ear and the latter stare around to find herself in Hayden's living room. Kyle was pacing about in panick and Cecil sat on the sofa accross her gingerly with her fingers brushing her hair comfortably. Isabella frown deeply when she realized she had been dreaming, she heave a sigh of great relief and her mind skip a beat instantly. " Where is my husband? " She asked no one in particular but the pacing Kyle stop in his track all of a sudden to stare hard at Isabella " where is Hayden? " Isabella choked out once again biting her lower lips to stifled a sob. " I really can't believe she could take a nap when her so
Rell was busy smiling up at Kyle’s face. It was almost dark and Isabella with Farrell hasn’t show up. Jansen's children has been a dear while his wife has been so helpful in the house. Tyler was still recovering while Joyce was with him all day, probably avoiding Kyle. Jansen walk into Kyle’s room without knocking. They are both getting accustom with one another. Well not by choice , the crucial time has finally brought them together. “ So they haven’t arrived?” he asked Kyle who leaned against the wall staring down through the window. “ They haven’t return ” He replied “ I’m having a bad feelings about this already.” Jansen gritted his teeth tightly then stood still to listen to Farrell’s voice. Kyle didn’t Interrupt him for he knew what the man was doing. After a while Jansen announced. “ They are on their way ” as though the baby heard and understand jansen’s words he coo softly smiling at his father’s friend. “ Bring him here ”Kyle gave the baby to Jansen carefully. “ You
" we will take you to the man you seek " Elvis, Kyle's second brother speak out in haste. He had witness the fury in Sidney's eyes and he knew the latter meant business. Elvis lead everyone through the hall and towards a dark locked room. " There he is " He whispers to Kyle who clenched his teeth in annoyance. Isabella knew why Hayden was left weak so she quickly dash towards the locked windows and opened it hurriedly. The ray of light splashed into the room at once and everywhere was lighted up. Hayden was there, sprawled on the floor with his eyes closed. " He seem dead after we locked him up in this Dark room and ... " Kendell wasn't lucky enough to finish his words when Isabella charged at him. Farrell quickly grab her from behind before she claw her way to Kyle's step brother. " Darkness is Hayden's secret for goodness sake! " She yell out furiously " If anything bad happens to my husband, i promise I won't let you live " She swore hotly. No one speak , all of a sudden and s
