Drake drove off and June stopped asking questions. She enjoyed the view out the window and after half way, June could already guess where they were going.
"You want to take me to the cinema?" guessed June with a smile.
“You guessed well. We will watch together. Isn't that what people usually do when they're dating?” asked Drake.
"Don't tell me you've never dated before?" asked June.
"The last time I dated was ages ago, June," Drake replied.
June laughed at the fact. Drake laughed too. He then parked his car at the cinema. Everyone passing by noticed the luxury cars that were usually parked in front of luxury hotels or fancy restaurants. But this time, the luxury car was parked in a simple movie theater.
"Lana Barryfield?" asked Drake, widening his eyes."It turned out to be you! This is a happy coincidence. Long time no see," said the woman.She came closer and hugged and kissed Drake's cheeks, they looked very familiar to each other. June forced a smile.“Lana, this is June Hanson. June, this is Lana Barryfield, an old friend of mine," said Drake.The woman turned to look at June, then she was silent for a moment."Oh, Drake. She is very beautiful," she said. But June could tell something else from the tone of her voice and the expression on her face."Nice to meet you, June," she said, holding out her right hand."Nice to meet
"June, what are you doing?" Drake asked as June returned to her desk. Drake could see that June looked very upset. "Oh, that's fine," June replied. "You are sure?" asked Drake again. "Yes. Maybe I'm just hungry," June replied with a smile. "Good news, I think the maids have come with food," said Drake, glancing to his left. When June followed his gaze, a waitress did come with their food order. "Thanks," replied June. They then dissolve in a warm and pleasant conversation. The food is delicious too. However, June was still thinking about Lana's words just now. He couldn't stop thinking about it, even though he tried. He saw Drak
That night, June couldn't sleep at all. She glanced at Drake who was fast asleep beside her. June tilted her head to take a longer look at Drake's face. Tears started to roll down June's cheeks again. June began to think, why fate was so cruel to her that when she really fell in love, she fell in love with the wrong person. If he falls in love with an ordinary human then everything will end well. But a dragon king was a very different matter.June loves Drake very much and she knows it. Therefore, June did not want to hurt Drake's heart. The sooner June left Drake's life forever, the better. Drake may be very sad, but he will recover faster and move on. June wants Drake to live a happy life. With June, there is no future for them. June would age, she wouldn't be able to make Drake happy forever.Because of that, June planned something that night. She secretly t
June finally arrived at the hotel she was going to. June's heart broke when she remembered the look on Drake's face as she walked away from the man. June knew she had hurt Drake a lot. However, according to June, this is the best way to save Drake's heart as well as her own.When she arrived at the simple hotel room, June immediately lay down on the bed. Her chest cavity ached, even just to catch her breath. June couldn't hold back tears, so she spilled everything on the hotel pillow. She cried long enough when she realized someone was standing leaning on her hotel balcony."Alarick?" June asked, widening her eyes.The man waved his hand with a smile. June wiped her tears quickly and opened the glass door leading to the balcony."How did you get here?" asked June.
"So, what do you say?" the Baron asked June with a smile, revealing his elongated canines."What are the risks?" asked June.“Barely nothing, June. You just need to give me your blood, not all the way through," he said as he walked closer. He circled around June's body, bringing his head close to June's neck.“You can be with him forever, June. Say, yes..." said the Baron again.“I-I…”“It's really easy, June. Don't make it difficult. You just need to chant a very easy mantra to pronounce. Say the spell and I'll immediately begin immortality," said the Baron again.June gulped, in her heart she knew there was something wrong with all of this, b
"Drake won't agree, June," Wilona replied.“I asked for your help, not Drake. Help me, Willona. I will give you anything you want, as long as you help me, "June said again."I'm more afraid of Drake than any offer of treasure from you," replied Wilona."Please, Willona. You know what will happen to Drake if I die, right? You want to see him crumble again?” asked June.Willa was silent. He knew what June meant. Drake fell to pieces after losing Anna centuries ago. If it happened a second time, I don't know what would happen to Drake."Good. But, promise me you will protect me if Drake gets angry later," said Wilona."Of course. I'll do it," replied June.
June Hanson walked into the club that night still in her office clothes. She wore a gray blazer, a thin white shirt, a matching skirt, complemented by black high heels that exposed her long legs. She let go her long blonde hair, which had been neatly pinched up, when she walked in, so that it fell beautifully behind her shoulders. She looked gorgeous with those blue eyes and flawless skin, but June didn't care about her appearance at all, or the number of men's eyes on her. She was in a bad mood, very bad even. She immediately sat at the bar, ordered a double scotch, then she contemplated the bad luck that had just hit her. As a secretary to the director, which has been running smooth for years, she was unexpectedly fired. June was fired today simply because the director's wife found her too pretty to be her husband's secretary. A very baseless dismissal. June kicked the leg of the bar table, making her f
It's been a year since that one night incident with the man named Drake. Revenge loomed over June’s heart, but she didn't have time to search for him all over New York. June still has a lot to take care of. June had nobody so she had to rely on herself for anything. Since childhood, June never had anyone. She grew up in a small orphanage which fortunately raised her quite well, despite her deprivation. June still remembers vaguely that in the past she had both parents who loved her, until one night her parents disappeared, at least that's what the police said. At that time, June was pretty sure, someone with a sword burning in the dark killed her parents, but the police never found any evidence that led to it. June was admitted to a mental hospital for several years due to those hallucinations. Now she is no longer sure what she saw. She didn’t know where her parents went that night. No trace, nothing.
