The Taste of Heaven 26. Consequence
Zach returned to his residence around nine in the evening. He hummed as he made his way toward the second floor. On his hand was a big plastic back that contained his gift for Nevea. With every step he took, a trail of blood fell to paint the marble floor. As he walked, he could feel the heavy tension in the air. He glanced around and met the eyes of several people who had gathered there. Their eyes widened with fear, and some even took a step back. Zach was used to the fear that followed him like a shadow, but today the intensity of their reactions seemed magnified by ten or a hundred times.His brows arched in question, but none dared to step in and explain to him. "What happened?" He asked coldly. They were glancing at each other, forcing one another to bring the news to him. Their action made Zach's brows deepen. "The…the room on the second floor—"Even before his servant finished his sentence, Zach had moved in a flash. He watched as the door was left ajar; there was no sign o
The Taste of Heaven 27. A Visit to Palace
Raven stayed with Nevea in her room while Lola went away as her boyfriend, Ian, suddenly called for her. The atmosphere between them suddenly turned stiff, as they did not know what to say to each other. Nevea kept glancing at Raven and to the door, and so did Raven. Raven took a sharp breath and braved himself to put his palm on top of hers, "Are you okay?" he asked tenderly. Nevea gave a weak smile and clasped his fingers as if she needed strength from him. But, honestly, she was not okay. Her head was still filled with the thought of ruining Zach with her hands. It was too much, almost impossible for her to hold her anger. "You don't seem okay to me. Do you want to talk about it?""No, but can you hug me?" Her eyes bore into his. Tiredness was palpable in her blue orbs, and Raven did not have the heart to refuse. "Come here." Raven opened his arms wide, and Nevea hugged him without hesitation. He was warm, probably the warmest living being she had ever known. "You know, Rave, I
The Taste of Heaven 28. Zachary Dacre
Logan and Robert strode leisurely in the hallway of the palace. In front of them was the commander of the royal guard, Vito West. They arrived at the palace twenty minutes before their appointment, and Vito was tasked to show them the way. Usually, a low-ranked guard would be responsible for escorting visitors, but it seemed like the royals were a bit wary of their visit, so they let the commander lead them. "Please," Vito opened the door to the office room, letting the two enter, and he followed behind. Robert and Logan entered the room. King-Levi, and his advisor, Silas, were in the room. They immediately pay their respect by bowing their head slightly. "I believe it's been a long time since we saw each other, Logan. I wouldn't say I am pleased to see you since you tend to bring me headaches every time you visit me." Levi's face was flat as he greeted them without bothering to play nice. "Long time no see, Logan, Robert," Silas extended his hand to offer a handshake with them. "P
The Taste of Heaven 29. Without Power
"Hello there." Zach emerged from Sara's back, waved his hand to her, and blinked playfully. "Why is he here?" Nevea pointed at Zach with her index finger. The scowl on her face was barely hidden as her gaze bore into his. From the way he stood calmly behind Sara, Nevea knew that Zach came here to play, not only with her but with the higher-ups as well. "I don't think it's wise for him to be here. Who knows, he might kill someone out of boredom.""Ouch," Zach said. He hoisted his hand and placed it on his chest, pretending like he had been hit by something. "Your accusation wounded my heart, Nevea." Nevea rolled her eyes in boredom. This man and his consistent line. He must be one without creativity. "I'm serious. He is dangerous." "Don't worry about him. We have Logan, Robert, and Brett here to protect us." Sara grabbed Nevea's hand and led her to the empty and dim cell. The cell was just like how Nevea remembered. The walls had turned dirtier over the course of years, but what di
The Taste of Heaven 30. Mission To Stormsire
After Zach left Vlassta, Nevea was permitted to go as well. However, she would be locked again in her room. And this time, no one would be able to visit her except the higher-ups. “What do you think about them?” Logan asked Robert. They had been watching from the start and couldn’t pinpoint the loophole in Zach’s statement. Not only that, but they also received all the documents from Silas to support Zach’s claim. “It’s either he is honest, or he has planned everything, so he knows what to do,” Robert answered as his gaze deepened. “What do you think about his relationship with Nevea? I think his fascination toward her is true.” Robert could see how Zach’s eyes gleamed when he looked at Nevea. Something like that couldn’t be faked. “I think so. He seemed to take joy from her anger.” Logan added, “We can’t blame him for anything for now, but if he somehow makes a mess, do you think it’s wise to use Nevea to eliminate him?”“But we can’t trust Nevea either.” Robert retorted. “Right.”
The Taste of Heaven 31. The Bloody Movement
The following day, Nevea drove to Stormsire alone. The journey from the Grouver took a bit longer than usual since the traffic was terrible. During her journey, Nevea could not stop thinking about the mess she was in. Somehow, whenever she thought about a solution, it always led to death. As if it was her fate. She sighed heavily and hit the steering wheel aggressively.Deciding to empty her mind, she focused on driving safely. Around thirty minutes later, her car came to a complete halt as the numerous iron gate with a tag covered with lots of spider webs entered her field of vision. WELCOME TO STORMSIRE. Nevea read it loudly, then continued her journey to the most dangerous city in Rimore. As she drove past several buildings, she noticed numerous people gazing at her car with sinister glints. Nevea assumed they might know she was not a vampire. They'd either wanted to suck her dry, rob her, or maybe both. She paid no attention to those small flies. She was here on a mission to sav
The Taste of Heaven 32. Old Acquittance
In the end, Zach got what he wanted. He stayed in room 312, precisely beside Nevea's room. He could listen to everything Nevea did in her room, from the sound she made when she cursed to the water that dropped onto her body until the slightest move she made on her bed. Zach was like a creep. No, he was a creep. If he were normal or had a little decency in him, he would not do that. He would turn off his hearing ability and sleep like a log. "Too bad for her. I am not normal, nor am I a gentleman," Zach grumbled while focusing on the sound Nevea made. Nevea was completely clueless about Zach's stalking behavior as she was too focused on researching tomorrow's auction. Each year the auction would be held forth times. During that time, many rare items were sold at unimaginable amounts, especially items equal to secret information. Money was never a problem because Vlassta gave her enough to spend. The clock kept ticking as she engaged in her work until she totally lost track of time.
The Taste of Heaven 33. The Auction
"Your Majesty."Zach glared at the strange man with a look that could kill him, but the man was completely oblivious to it as he was ecstatic to see Zach. "Your Majesty, I am Jude Wells. We met a long time ago." Jude introduced himself since Zach showed a sign that he had forgotten about his existence. "Who are you calling your majesty? Don't you know the king is Levi Dacre?" Zach said with a chilling voice that made Jude shiver. "And who the fuck are you?" He asked harshly. "I am the councilman Jude Wells, the one responsible for Stormsire," Jude said. He peeked at Zach's expression, wondering whether his words might have triggered something in Zach's memories. But, sadly, it did not. So he added his words. "I met you for the first time around five hundred years ago. You came here to look for a soul catcher, Liezel Rowan.""I did? What for?" Zach probed. He did remember going to Stormsire to hunt, and that was when he met Silas. But, what this Jude said was never in his memory. "I
