Isabella woke up with a splitting headache. She look around the room slowly in surprise.
She rolled out of the bed and walk barefooted to the window accross the room.
Oh shit! This is still the club. How do i end up here?
The door open slowly and Kyle walk in with Hayden.
Isabella was surprised when she saw the two.
" You... The handsome womaniser from yesterday " She said pointing to Hayden who scoff, rolling his eyes.
Womaniser my foot.
" If you are done speaking you can use the door " Hayden said. He floped on the bed lazily.
Isabella watched the the movement fascinated.
" What happened yesterday ? " She asked Hayden who ignore her completely. Kyle saw the situation so he replied instead.
" My master saved you from the bad guys yesterday at the rest room. You are quite drunk and dizzy that you passed out then "
" Oh ... Really? " Isabella asked embarrassed as The memories came back slowly. She look over at the handsome tall man who laid on the bed. " Thank you " She muttered.
Hayden stare at her for some minutes thinking about assessing her with his paranormal sense but he finally drop the idea.
" It's okay. " He murmured sighing.
Suddenly Kyle stomach grumbled loudly in hunger, he rub his belly slowly looking away from Hayden's glare.
Isabella smile softly at Kyle.
" How about i treat you to a meal ? " She asked brightly. She isn't ready to go home anyway and it's only the right thing to do.
Kyle turn to Hayden in question and the latter nodded.
" Go ahead, it's my fault that you are hungry after all " he said smiling.
Isabella glance at Hayden and back to Kyle.
Oh it seems the guy is handsome and sexy but broke." How about we go together ? " She asked Hayden smiling.
" I eat much , i don't think you will be able to pay for it " He replied.
Isabella felt her face grow warm at the challenge. She pull out her credit card from her hip Pocket.
" Sure i will because this credit card of mine has no limit " she bark out laughing.
" Oh really? Then let's order in " Hayden said evenly.
Kyle smile happily at the thought of breakfast. He rushed out hastily and emerges minutes later panting.
" They will bring in the food in a moment " he said tiredly.
Hayden's sixth sense told him Kyle is tired " sit down and relax " he ordered his secretary who obey quickly.
Isabella lean against the wall gingerly.
" Please do you have a cellphone? I need to make some calls "
Kyle Gave her his cellphone and she called her friend.
Joyce oh and ah, complaining about how worried she has been.Isabella finally succeeded in calming her best friend. She promised to return home before afternoon and she hang up.The food came in at that time and everyone start eating except Isabella whose gaze was only at Hayden.
True to his word Hayden ate a lot, minutes pass slowly.
Finally the plates were cleared and the two men were filled.
" I really wish to be on boat right now " Hayden muttered to himself.
Isabella sucked in a breath and let it out slowly." How about i grant that request of yours ? What will be in for me? "
" What are you talking about? Don't you have a home to go to? " Hayden inquired.
" Not yet, I'm uh... On holiday! Yes on holiday. Let's go fishing then " She said smiling.
Hayden turn to Kyle who was begging with his eyes to accept.
Kyle knows vividly well that the outcome of Hayden's credit card being freeze is hunger and hardship for a week.
Hayden cleared his throat.
" Sure, let's go " he replied trying to sound uninterested.
" Ah ... Not too fast handsome. I asked what is in it for me? " Isabella asked cocking up an eyebrow.
" What do you need ? There is nothing you could possibly need. You have a credit card which according to you has no limit so... "
" Well, i need you as my acting finance "
Hayden and Kyle froze.
" What! " He all but scream.
Isabella shut her eyes for a seconds before opening it to stare at Hayden.
" I know it's a very dumb idea but I'm in a bind at the moment. The story will bore you to death so I'm going to left it out, all you need is just for us to take pictures when we are on the boat "
Hayden smile at her.
She doesn't recognize me. Great!!" No problem miss... " He stop for her to answer.
" Isabella "
Hayden back stiffened as he heard her name. He look at Kyle whose Expression was of shock as well.
She is the woman father wanted me to marry. Hmm this is very much a good idea. Acting fiance will i be then.
" Let's get going Miss Isabella " Hayden said getting on his feet.
He has nothing better to do anyway and Kyle was very much Happy about the idea of going for fishing." She is your bride master " Kyle whispers to Hayden on their way to the car. Isabella was held back paying the bills.
" Yes, what should we call this ? Coincidence or fate? "
Kyle doesn't have the time to answer. He get into the car at the driver's seat while Hayden settled at the back.
Isabella debated for a while before she open the backseat and sat beside Hayden." Do you know where we can rent a boat? " Isabella asked Hayden who has been very quiet since the journey began.
" Yes, Kyle take us to the beast port " he ordered his secretary.
He heard Isabella grunted at the name.
" What's wrong? Beast port offers the best both " Hayden said staring at the woman beside him.
" I know, i just don't really like anything that has to do with the Beasts. They are evil " she blurted out. She stopped immediately the words came our from her mouth. " Oh I'm sorry. I really don't mean it " she apologized when she noticed the cold stare that was on Hayden's face.
" They are not evil , if they are evil as you say won't they be attacking the humans? They have the powers and ability to kill any human at one strike " Hayden replied in a serious tone.
Isabella frown in confusion.
" Why are you getting worked up? " She asked suspiciously. She then gasped suddenly when the thought hit her " are you a beast? "
At that moment the car came to a halt and Kyle announced happily.
" We are at beast port ! "
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
