The sound of heels echoed throughout the passage. {“Who killed my mother?”, Zoey asked one more time. “Alexander Griffin.”, Edward stated as he handed her the file.} She thought of what Edward told her the other night as she sat back and was given a blood transfusion, it took a long time for her body to get used to the blood transfusion. Flashback “Why did a millionaire kill my mother?” Zoey asked after reading Alex’s file and handing it back to Edward. “That’s what your father wanted to know too.”, Edward stated as he pressed his palm against the wall, opening the passage again. “What stopped him?”, she asked as she followed closely behind him. Edward took some time as he was hesitant to respond at first. “You. He could not dive deeper into the situation in case you get hurt. He made a big sacrifice and that’s where I come in. I want to fulfill what he couldn’t do and make the two of you proud.”, Edward stated. “If I suggest you help me, he would never allow that.” “I guess
Alex’s Pov I pinched the bridge of my nose as Zoey walked out of my office. Why was she so angry at me? Did I do something wrong? What did I do wrong? Women are so confusing! I huffed out in annoyance and changed my shirt. As I did so, my cell phone’s notification rang off. I picked it up as I put the tie around my neck with the other hand. I unlocked it and found that it was Damien who was messaging me. I opened it and placed my phone back on the bed as I adjusted my tie. I picked up the phone again and walked to my office desk to get started with work. Especially with Zoey’s sudden disappearance, I’ve lost track of my work schedule, but from what it seems like…there’s no happy ending for us as yet. Zoey’s hiding something from me. I opened the message that Damien sent me and to my expectation, I wasn’t surprised. I know Edward was the guy involved in the project of vampire hunting, but knowing him and working with him, he’s the type to follow orders, not make them. So there’s cl
“You’re fired.”, Alex stated. Zoey’s bright smile dropped as her mind slowly started to comprehend the words her boss just said. “W….what…?”, Zoey’s voice broke. “You. Are. Fired.”, Alex said with every step he took forward toward her. “Do you understand it now or do I need to teach you what I have just told you?”, Alex asked as he bent down to her level and whispered in her ear. Zoey took a deep breath as her fists started to curl up and her anger began to build up. “I would like it if we could discuss this properly in your office, Mr. Griffin.”, Zoey stated, everyone looked at her shocked that she would do something like that. Alex smirked and looked at the people whose jaws were open. “Sure.”, he said. . . . Alex and Zoey sat in several minutes of silence until she made her move. She stood up and walked over to him, sitting on his lap. Alex swallowed his spit while she smirked at his nervousness. “Get off up my lap right.”, Alex demanded as his fists curled up, not dari
Zoey watched as her hand healed slowly. “I need to think of a plan quickly.”, she muttered under her breath. Zoey ran her fingers through her hair to give it a messy look and she applied a bit more wine red lipstick and sprayed more perfume on herself. She looked at herself through the broken mirror and held her head high before leaving the restroom. Zoey had her catwalk on display, heads turned back to look at her as she passed men's way. She looked around for where there was the most amount of security until her eyes caught something. “Here we go.”, she muttered under her breath before she could walk over to the bodyguards surrounding Romano. Zoey walked passed the bodyguard like they were invisible. The bodyguards looked at each other confused before one of them placed a stern and rough hand on her right shoulder. She turned around and smiled at the guard before she hit the guard's throat quickly and hard. The other guard grabbed her by her hair but she pulled his arm down and
Alex made Zoey take a seat as he cooked for her and she watched. Alex tried to fry eggs but the egg fell on his clothes. Zoey chuckled. “What are you laughing about?”, Alex pouted. “Let me do the breakfast, you’re making a mess here.”, Zoey stated as she got up from her seat and to the kitchen island. She cracked the eggs and put them o the frying pan with no struggle and Alex tilted his head as he gazed at her intensely. “What?”, Zoey asked as she started to laugh in confusion. “If I’d tell you, you’d feel more uncomfortable than you already are.”, Alex said. “Why don’t you go and freshen up, I’ll take care of the eggs.”, Alex changed the subject quickly. “Okay, but I’m a bit worried about the eggs, are you sure you won’t burn them?”, Zoey questioned with a skeptical look on her face. “Trust me, they’re safe with papa.”, Alex laughed as he winked at Zoey. Zoey opened her clothes and went into the shower, she let the water pour down on her back. ‘ “Three months ago…we had our
Alex and Zoey got on the motorcycle. Alex drove Zoey through the quiet streets, leaving Zoey confused. “This is not the direction back, where are we going?”, Zoey asked. Alex closed the door after him and followed behind Zoey. “I’m taking you out on a date, m’lady.”, Alex stated. “What?”, Zoey laughed. “You heard me right. It’s been a long time since we had a peaceful night with no worries, so…here we are.”, Alex stated as he parked the motorcycle. Zoey’s mouth was wide open and so were her eyes. “Oh my god…This…”, Zoey’s voice trailed off. “Yes, the last date we had.”, Alex stated as he grabbed hold of Zoey’s hand and interlocked fingers with her. “Are you ready?”, Alex asked. Zoey nodded and they both started to walk. They reached the ice cream shop, and Zoey smiled warmly. “What are you thinking about?”, Alex asked. “Don’t you read minds?”, Zoey questioned. “I do, but I would love it if you could express how you feel right now.”, Alex stated as he looked at the menu. “I
“ALEX!”, Zoey exclaimed as she stepped back in shock. “Zoey…I-” “No! You don’t get to show up out of the blue and keep doing this to me!”, Zoey shouted. Just then, she ran to him and jumped on him, cupping his face and giving him kisses. Alex held her under her thighs to make sure she didn’t fall and he kissed her too. Zoey then wrapped her arms around his neck and crossed her legs around him and kissed his nose and face. Alex placed her down slowly on the sofa and leaned above her but she didn’t want to let go. He pressed a reassuring hand on her hand and she slowly pulled away. “Is this real?”, she asked softly. “No matter where you go, how much you hate or regret what we have, I will always chase after you for all the days of my life. And you have to take responsibility for having such a strong power over me.”, Alex stated as he placed small and light kisses around her face. “I’d rather take the responsibility than deal with the consequences.”, Zoey laughed as she ran her hand
Zoey’s PovI walked passed at the streets, the kids were playing outside in the snow, and their parents had hot chocolate in their hands, I smiled at the sight. Just then, I heard Alex. “Are you ready?”, he asked from afar. I nodded and continued walking. I walked into an alley that Alex said I should walk into, I was calm because I could feel and smell Alex close by and I could also hear the same footsteps. It must be them that was following me. I kept walking until I was further enough into the alley and I turned around. The two men that were following me, bowed their heads. The bald guy hands me the silver knife that was wrapped in the cloth and I took it from him. “There’s no need to bow to me.”, I stated as I opened the cloth, the knife had a claw, a normal hand, and fangs on it, I guess it represented the beings like us. “Don’t worry about Romano.” “We don’t work for him.”, the other man spoke which made me freeze. “We used to serve under The Great Queen Mary.” “Oh! I had no
