"I have a very long day today, Victoria. I don't mind waiting a little longer for you." Alex said sarcastically after waiting a while for Victoria to tell her story."If you have so much time, then you should come with me, Detective Alex. I'm not much of a storyteller. But you might be able to understand some of my explanations if we were at the scene of the crime. It's just that to get there, I think we're going to need some help. Finally, after a long time, Victoria spoke."You're not afraid to go with me, are you?" Victoria's words really touched Alex Thornfield's pride. Especially coming from a vampire who could not use his powers at all."I thought you were the one who was afraid to go with me, Miss Victoria." Alex replied, a smile forming at the corner of his lips."Then you must condition your friend first. I'm afraid he'll be confused if he doesn't find both of us in this house.""Okay."Alex and Victoria went into Liam's study. Inside, Liam was busy with all the case files he
Do you know Uncle Remi?" Victoria asked in surprise. She hadn't expected Alex to recognise her adoptive father who she often called Uncle Remi."He's your uncle?" asked Alex, who was also surprised to hear Victoria call Remi uncle. He had no idea that Victoria had a relationship with the mysterious man he had met some time ago."No! He's not my uncle. He is my adopted father. He turned me into a vampire when I was dying in the hospital. Uncle Remi was a doctor by profession." Victoria explained in a serious tone as she walked quickly towards the bar. "He used to be a doctor, you know. But now he prefers to take care of this bar, a meeting place for vampires.""Doctor?"Yes, a doctor. Don't be surprised. He likes to try new things." Victoria whispered with a mischievous smile, then left Alex behind and ran over to Remi who was waiting for them at one of the tables. She hugged Remi tightly, like a child meeting her father after a long separation."'Sweetheart, I'm so glad you're all rig
Alex felt his heart pound as Victoria's hand touched his. He felt warm and cold at the same time, as if there was an electric current running between them. And it was something Alex always felt when he came into contact with Victoria.Alex thought that maybe what he felt now was because he was being carried away by his past memories with Keira, because Victoria's face was so similar to Keira's.But strangely the vibration kept coming back, making Alex feel uncomfortable every time he came into contact with Victoria.Alex turned to Victoria, who was pulling him out of the bar, and tried to push the desire to sleep with Victoria out of his mind. He concentrated on what they were about to do."Where are we going?" asked Alex as he left the bar with Victoria. Alex had to know somehow where they were going. From what he had heard in the bar earlier, what he and Victoria were about to do seemed very mysterious and dangerous."We're going to see a friend of mine who can help us get into the
Before they could approach Antony, Victoria pulled Alex back into the car. She had forgotten something."What's wrong?" asked Alex when he saw her looking for something in Alex's car."What are you looking for, Victoria?" asked Alex, not understanding what Victoria was doing."Do you have a hat or glasses in your car Alex?" Instead of answering Alex's question, Victoria, who was still busy looking for the two items in Alex's car, asked Alex a question back."I think so." Alex replied, turning around to get the hat and glasses he kept behind his seat.But as Alex turned around, Victoria turned around at the same time, so their faces accidentally met at such a close distance. Alex's heartbeat was clearly audible. Victoria handed Alex a pair of glasses and a hat. She asked Alex to put them on so that Antony wouldn't recognise Alex."Are you all right, Alex? Your heart sounds different." Victoria asked, causing Alex's face to turn red.Blush...Alex really didn't know what to say. There
"I know that. But..." Suddenly, Victoria whispered something into Antony's ear. And after hearing what Victoria whispered, Antony laughed while shaking his head as if he couldn't get over what Victoria had whispered to him."You're completely crazy, Victoria! You're really reckless! Your crazy idea is really extreme this time. You and Lucius are going to get married next month. And you..." Antony's words stopped when his gaze also stopped on Alex."Hahaha... it's up to you. But one thing is for sure, if Lucius finds out about this, it is absolutely your responsibility." Antony's emphasis was firm. He did not want to be the target of the rival vampire clan leader's rage."Lucius? Have you spoken to him? Does he know of your plan?" asked Antony, suspicious of Victoria."You can rest easy. He will not know. Because it's just the two of us going to that place. Unless you open your mouth, Lucius will know." Victoria said, lying to Antony."Me? Even though I am friends with Lucius, for some
Victoria took a few steps back and tried to collect herself before turning to Antony. Alex handed Victoria the ring and Victoria took the ring from Alex's hand and walked over to Antony. Victoria held out her hand and offered him the ring. A mischievous smile spread across Antony's face as he accepted the precious object. His eyes glittered with wicked satisfaction. "Thank you, Victoria. You have made me very happy." Antony said with a mischievous smile. "Don't be too happy, Antony. I will take the ring back if you fail." Victoria replied, challenging Antony. "Unfortunately that won't happen. Now you must listen carefully to what I have to say," Antony said, twirling the ring between his fingers. "You have only one hour. Whatever happens, you must return here before the time runs out, even if you are at the height of your love ritual. Otherwise, you will not be able to return to your bodies." Antony explained, warning Victoria and Alex. Victoria and Alex nodded, realising that w
Victoria and Alex walked around the room, which was filled with a tense aura. There wasn't much to see in the room, but the aura was thick. Even Victoria, who was a vampire, could shiver with fear. Victoria told us more about Lucius and his special powers."Hey? Be careful." Alex immediately held Victoria, who almost fell when her foot accidentally stepped on an iron rod the size of an adult man's foot."Thanks." The gratitude, accompanied by a look between the two of them, had unknowingly caused a wave of emotions that were difficult to explain."Be careful walking. There are many objects on the ground. It seems that no one has entered this place since the tragedy 500 years ago. Look, all the tools they used to torture their targets are still here." Alex said as his eyes scanned the room."You're right. I saw all of this in the vision Lucius showed me." Victoria said."As I said before, I know everything in this room thanks to Lucius." Victoria added as she looked at every corner of
Alex looked at Victoria with a cold, disbelieving gaze. He didn't understand why Victoria and Lucius were so interested in his ability to see the past."I want you to stand by me and Lucius." Victoria replied briefly."Why would I do that?" asked Alex as he laughed sarcastically."Because there's a group that wants to recruit you, Alex! Lucius and I suspect that Damian is part of a mysterious group that has long been trying to uncover the secret of Lucius' transformation from human to vampire. We just want to stop Damian and the group's evil plan. You see, they want to create a world where there are no more humans. All humans will be turned into vampires. That is why Damian wants you on his side, so that you can tell him everything that has happened in the past through your visions. That way Damian and the group will know what the researchers did to turn Lucius into a powerful vampire with extraordinary gifts. Obviously Victoria was trying to convince Alex to take her side.Alex laug
