The incident happened so fast and unexpected. Even Mila didn't think that Aaric would do this to her.
Damn it! She trusted this man! How could he just attack her?
And again, what were the two of them actually doing? Seeming so intimate and very close to each other?
Mila couldn't explain the anger boiling in her chest and making it so hard for her to think straight.
By seeing how Aaric was with Ellen alone, Mila could literally feel her chest burn with some indecipherable emotion.
Whether it was a good feeling or not, Mila didn't really like to see their closeness.
However, when the medicine that Aaric had injected into her neck began to work, Mila could not think clearly any longer as darkness began to engulf her and made her very weak, until finally Mila had no other choice but to give in to helplessness.
And the last thing Mila heard wh
Mila felt very weak and helpless.A soft groan left her lips when she felt someone buckling something around her wrists and feet, something hard, heavy and cold.Like a metal object. However, there was no way she could check it when her head wouldn't stop throbbing painfully and she didn’t have much energy to even lift a finger.Her head felt dizzy while her neck turned completely numb. She felt a syringe pierce her skin and she could do nothing but whimper in pain, but whatever she was feeling now, she didn't know how long it would continue.Like before, she lost track of time, but this moment it was much worse.Mila was too weak to even wriggle a bit and the darkness seemed more promising for peace, so she gave up and let herself go back into the dark tunnel in her mind which swallowed her whole.Outside the glass door, there were three people who wer
Aaric really couldn't figure out how else he should deal with this woman. Anything about this woman just sucked in short. He couldn't even imagine how the real Drake could put up with her all through their secret relationship.If it weren't for the fact that Aaric still needed this body for a really long time, then he wouldn't have bothered with a woman like Ellen.This woman was unreasonably sensitive and difficult to control when emotions overwhelmed her. But maybe Aaric could take advantage of this, considering how much Ellen loved Drake."You are lying!" Ellen shouted hysterically. Aaric frowned, he couldn't let this woman attract unnecessary attention from their surroundings. "You are trying to avoid me! Tell me what I did wrong!”Aaric's thoughts of using Ellen in this situation almost disappeared as soon as Ellen acted like a crazy woman and started behaving unreasonably yet again.
Mila was returned to this phase again, where she didn't even know when was the last time she was fully consciousness or where she was now.She felt that her head was very heavy while her vision became blurry due to the bright light that was unceremoniously directed at her.Her body felt stiff and she couldn't move, but maybe it was because of the safety binds around her, which wrapped around Mila like a big snake or maybe it was because of the high doses of drugs that were continuously injected into her veins, making Mila unable to distinguish anything around her.Mila didn't even know how long she had been in this state, that was in her coming and going back state of consciousness. She would occasionally see Aaric's figure, in the form of a man named Dr. Drake.But, before she could think any further about this bewildering situation, the darkness would always engulf her like a cocoon and leave her p
#TWENTY- FOUR HOURS BEFORE DR. STEVE MET MILA IN HER ROOM#Steve had just returned from the laboratory. Even after discussing this matter with several higher- ups from the research center that they should agree to exterminate the vampire woman, what he wanted did not go as smoothly as he had hoped.Because most of them agreed with Dr. Drake, that Mila was still very valuable to be the object of their research.She was the only noble member of vampires, whom they have managed to capture during these fifty years and now that the vampire woman had finally regained her consciousness, of course she had become more important as there were some things they couldn't learn while Mila was unconscious.Like for example what was the nature and behavior of the vampires, how they would interact with each other, or how would they react in certain situations.Of course, this information was impo
The two men stared at each other, then toward Aaric who was still standing behind the glass room where the female vampire was still lying unconscious, when they heard Dr. Drake's voice echo in the room again.One of them then walked to the intercom to communicate with Dr. Drake. "But, Dr. Drake, Dr. Steve shouldn't be here. This is a direct order from Dr. Miller.”Yes, some of them were already aware of Dr. Steve’s intentions to get rid of the object of research, which was none other than Mila. Therefore, to avoid unwanted situations, they agreed to not allow Dr. Steve to interfere with the research team until further notice."No problem," Aaric said in a low voice. "We will just talk for a moment."That was what Aaric said, but his eyes were still fixed on the odd shadow that followed Steve. His eyes narrowed sharply and when he saw the unusual subtle movement, he was immediately convinced that his suspicions were true."Are you sure Dr. Drake?” The same man asked him again, not sure
"He gave you the order to look for me?" Aaric asked.Arabella raised an eyebrow and flashed a smile full of mystery. "What do you think?"Instead of giving him a response, she asked him another question in return and this only annoyed Aaric further."Stop playing with words in front of me Arabella," Aaric growled, because he was not in a good mood to deal with his half- sister.But, it seemed that Arabella didn't care at all about that fact and kept rubbing her annoying attitude on him like before.Then with her bloodshot eyes, Arabella glanced at Mila, who was lying unconscious on the bed. "So, she is still alive? I thought she was dead and my mission would be in vain.”“What is your purpose in coming here?” This time, Aaric's voice sounded more direct and deep, indicating seriousness in every word he spoke.On the other hand, Arabella shrugged nonchalantly, but her eyes were still glued to Mila with interest and curiosity which Aaric knew all too well would not end in any pretty way
Ellen, who couldn't read the situation at hand clearly at all, immediately shouted for the two men who were on guard and this immediately broke a commotion in the entire corridor.Coupled with Arabella's presence, of course the atmosphere that had been tense and full of sarcastic exchange between Arabella and Aaric, had now turned a hundred and eighty degrees, thanks to this commotion.“I told you to get out of here,” Aaric hissed harshly at Arabella when he saw that several guards had now filed into the room, carrying stun devices to immobilize creatures that were so foreign to them.It wasn't that Aaric wanted to help Arabella. He didn't even care if his half- sister was caught by them and used as research material like they did with Mila, but what made Aaric feel very uncomfortable was the fact that their people would be exposed just like the vampires.It was enough that these stupid humans only know about the vampires existence without knowing their race, because then their situat
“Arabella…” Aaric said in a quivering voice as the pain overwhelmed his senses and made his eyes glaze over while his breathing became erratic.This wasn't the first time Aaric had experienced this kind of pain, as it wasn't the first time he had been killed while still in a human body, but still, it wasn't a pleasant experience to go through more than once.Especially when he was attacked suddenly without any prior preparation."Yes, it's me..." Arabella replied in a sweet whisper in the ear of Aaric who was dying, not only that, she twisted the scalpel which was still stuck right in Aaric's heart, sending a wave of extreme pain shoot through his entire body. "I like it every time you call my name.""You are crazy," Aaric hissed, trying to push Arabella away, but sadly he couldn't, because his hands couldn't touch her, as if he was just trying to push away a wisp of thick smoke."You know you can't touch me with your pitiful human body," Arabella smiled triumphantly as she watched li
