Three months later...
'Actress Raphaela has been acquitted of all charges of murder. Remember that three months before, she was suspected of the murder of Director Shaw after he had a series of misunderstandings with she and her manager, Julien Hugo and he was murdered shortly after. She was thought guilty after she escaped her home when the police barged in with a search warrant.
It has been three months of back and forth but finally, she has been pronounced innocent and has been freed from all charges.
We'll take a short break and when we return, we'll dish out more entertainment gossip.'
Lorenzo switched the TV off. He stared at it with his usual blank intimidating stare before he got up to put finishing touches to the late night dinner he had set out for two.
His apartment was small and neat, one of the many apartments in the six storey building where he lived, a good distance away from Princeton University where he schooled.
Tell me your thoughts!!!
Raphaela walked into her mini bungalow a little after midnight. Part of the changes she had made was selling her old home, donating the money to charity and getting a more decent average one close to Lorenzo.Valentina was waiting for her in the living room floor, fake reading glasses on and head buried in a large textbook.She raised her head when she came close."You're late today." She commented, holding her head in both palms."Have you had dinner?" She asked instead of replying. Valentina nodded, sitting up before adding, "Julien called, said you should call him when you return. That was about 10pm.""Thank you. I'm going in." She walked past her, about to head into the short corridor leading to her room."You should just get married." Valentina suddenly blurted.She halted, back turned to her, "What?""The both of you should just get married." Valentina repeated more bravely."Who?""You and Julien."
The hall resounded with howls and screams. The smell of blood filled her nostrils.She considered stopping to confront the wolves but there were humans there and she had no idea what pack this rogue wolves were from and why they thought it fit to attack innocent humans.More screams, more shouts, more blood. As Julien hurriedly pulled her to the exit, she smartly pulled off a button from his suit jacket and shot it at the camera facing their direction. It pierced through, the red light flickered off. Three more and she was satisfied.Julien noticed instantly the moment Raphaela's hand left his but when he looked back, he found no one that resembled his dark haired beauty. He fell into a panic. He pushed through the rushing bodies, looking around and calling her name.His heart thumped heavily in his chest. Nothing. Nothing could happen to her. When he got out of the crowded mass of bodies, all he met was a wide hall with no wolves in it. There were a few
When they broke from the hug, she noticed the unusual smile on his face. It made her laugh."You're beautiful." She told him, not noticing she was still clinging unto him.And he really was. His dark electric blue eyes, now a shining sea blue, round hard face and cheeks, now softened by the smile and hair that fell in curls over his forehead. He really was beautiful."I thought it was handsome." He chuckled, "Handsomely dangerous."She laughed, going into his arms for another short moment before they disengaged and began walking into the school.She had in her usual school disguise; brown contact lens, platinum blonde wig and plain clothes.Lorenzo's style wasn't much different but he exuded this charm and dangerous coolness that made him stand out in anything.He held her hand. He hadn't held her hand that way since three months ago.It reminded her of something that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't forge
She heard him walking and could feel him following her but she never expected his next actions. He suddenly pushed her, she stumbled and just as she regained her balance, he pushed her again with an even greater force; again and again. She hit the railing and toppled over; down, down... Someone suddenly caught her and zoomed off with her."Why do you always get in trouble when I'm not with you, huh?" Her saviour asked immediately her feet touched the ground.Having recognized the owner of the voice, she looked around first. They were in the basement of that same building, in the storage room.She looked at Lorenzo."I've gotten really careless." She replied, looking him over.Has he left the class immediately she did? Did he listen to their one sided conversation?"I did." He replied, as if hearing her thoughts even with the mindlink connection closed.She made to lean against the wall but he stopped her. He leaned against the wall an
Valentina followed what she thought was his shadow till they got to the underground car park then discovered it was one of his colleagues.She looked around apprehensively, her feet finding their way to his car. She met a strange man there instead of him."Hi, I'm Mark, Antonio's colleague. He asked me to drive you home.""Where is he? Where did he go to?""I don't know, he didn't say." Mark answered.She leaned heavily against the black Jeep, tears springing to her eyes."I'm sorry but I'd like to get this over with quickly, I have work to do."She reluctantly got in the car and then she cried all the way home."What happened?"Raphaela asked the moment she stepped into their modest bungalow.Valentina rushed to her and collapsed in her arms.Raphaela sat still for a while before slowly hugging her. She waited until her tears subsided and her sobs quietened."What happened?" She asked again.Valentina sniffed before responding, "I hurt him, I hurt him... he's so mad at me...!" She bu
She sighed, the shock dissipating. She had tried so hard to avoid bloodshed but it seemed like someone was asking desperately for it."No one will think it's real." Lorenzo interrupted her train of thoughts, "it looks too fake."Raphaela said nothing.Lorenzo secretly let out a sneer. They had really overestimated themselves because one of the things he had a good nose for was sniffing out enemies."We shouldn't make this a habit" Raphaela said casually, replacing her phone in her bag, "attendance is vital for our results."Lorenzo as well said nothing.**********Raphaela stared at the DNA test results in her hands. There were three of them, beginning from the oldest; one when she was 16; another when she was 20; and just recently in her 22nd year.All of them said the same thing, the proof that she and Lorenzo weren't siblings was 99.9%. She sat, her eyes glued to the papers while he stood, a short distance off."I know you'll need more proof, supernatural proof so I've decided we'l
She got to her feet."I killed him" Lorenzo spoke, releasing his fingers. A bloody little substance fell with a squash."But I guess his followers are here for revenge."She stared at the red soaked grass."We need to clean you up."He raised his bloody hand. She smelt it too, there were more.Soon, the garden was stormed by wolves in their numbers. She and Lorenzo stood in the middle, surrounded by feral angry wolves.The same wolves that had attacked that award night, she noticed by their scent."Hand me your buttons." She mindlinked him.He didn't question her. Soon, she shattered the three cameras in the garden.The wolves growled, charging at them with speed.Lorenzo used his clawed hands, ripping each one apart. She joined also, taking the hint.She had almost forgotten what it felt like, the thrill of the hunt. It was a dance, a bloody dance and she enjoyed it; whirling around, hand sinking in warm flesh, digging out, the sweet feel of blood slipping through hands, the familiar
He took her out instead of them eating in because he thought they stayed indoors alot."The food is great." She beamed, sitted opposite him in a seafood restaurant."Of course, that's why I brought you here." He boasted.She snorted, stuffing her mouth with more crab goodness.Antonio suddenly let out a long sigh."What?" She asked immediately.He shook his head, looking down at his meal."I'm your partner" she said confidently, "you can tell me if anything is wrong."He chuckled but obliged her nevertheless."I thought you were going to leave."Her face scrunched up in confusion."I thought you were going to leave me."Her eyes widened, "What? That...that..." She shook her head, "I didn't even think of that! When did your imagination get so wild!?"He laughed, leaning back in his seat."Since you came into my life."She blushed, looking away, "Don't flirt with me." She muttered, embarrassed."If I don't flirt with you, who will I flirt with? The pretty lady looking at me?"Her head w
