Chapter 13
Abu’s last word kept ringing in her head… “What if he really doesn’t like me? But even if he doesn’t, it doesn’t mean I need to kill him?’’
Evangeline was restless and couldn’t stop walking back and forth at the same time she was worried that Blake wasn’t at home yet. It was already 1 am but even his shadow was not appearing.
“No, he won’t do that…’’ she whispered thinking what if he was sucking someone’s blood.
She couldn’t help herself not to think about where he was and what he was doing, so she grabbed her jacket and went outside the house. She remembered the route to his office, but it might take her two hours or more walking from the house to there… yet she still wanted to search for him and began to walk straight to there just to found out that no one was there… The building was close and there was no one around but only
Chapter 14 Blake sat on the couch after seeing that Evangeline was already fast asleep… The words she said was like an earworm that he couldn’t get rid of it and it made him feel like Evangeline kept repeating her words, whispering to him. “Idiot, is it because you can’t kill me once I’m away?” he thought and shut his eyes as he massaged his temple, trying not to assume something that would only hurt him in the end. It didn’t take long when a sudden noise caught his attention and when he tilted his head on the side, Evangeline entered and she looked pale. He quickly stood up and gave her a stern look… confused by the emptiness he could see in her beautiful green eyes. “You’re sick, what are you doing? You are supposed to rest,” he said, even though he was confused; he couldn’t deny how worried he was. And then he was stunned to see Evangeline burst out in tears as she stared at his face. His heart skipped a bit the moment he saw her tearing up.
Chapter 15 “Pocco?” he whispered as he opened the door, Pocco held his shoulder for support and looked at him. “Blake?” a weak voiced said as Blake wrapped his arms around his when he lose his conciousness and there he smell the blood flowing through his arms, he looked down in his bloody hands and realized that Pocco was stabbed at the back. He looked around to see if someone followed him and felt relief to see an empty dark street. Carrying him immediately on the living room, he was worried. “Pocco, wake up,” he said but his eyes were still shut. Evangeline followed them and in panic to see a man bleeding, she couldn’t bare a human being harmed, because it was her duty, back in the Angel’s Empire, to protect human. The blood of Pocco was making him crazy, he bit his lower lip as he tried to ignore his cr
Chapter 16 Evangeline was holding a glass of water for Pocco, she was returning to the living room yet she was taken aback to see what was happening to Blake. She saw his fangs and his eyes that manifest a desire to devour blood. She gripped the glass tighter, tears suddenly stream down her eyes, she was worried, yet couldn’t move any step towards him. The moment she saw him turning his face to Pocco and ready to suck his blood, she whispered, “Please, don’t, please, Blake... I know you’re a good person, please prove to me I’m not wrong. That I’m right in choosing you over my duty as an Angel.” She knew that he was not able to hear it, but she didn’t whisper it for him to hear her beg, but it was from her mind that came out to her mouth. “Damn, Angel!” Blake spoke and looked at Evangeline. Their eyes met each other and Evangeline gripped the glass ev
Chapter 17"You feeling okay now?" Evangeline asked Pocco."Yes, did you and Blake had a talk already?" he asked as he sat down.Evangeline shook her head as she frowned."Is that so?" he responded when Blake suddenly came and walked straight to them."Your medicines," he said and didn't eye contact with him."Blake, wait," Pocco said when Blake was about to go.Blake sighed and turned around, "Yes?""Can I stay here for a month?" he pleaded, which made Blake's eyes open wide.Blake just stared at him for a long time and Pocco breathed heavily, "Look, the reason why I got stabbed is because of my debt! I had a huge debt, Blake! I became addicted to gambling, and I loose yet I kept playing then I didn't realize that I almost have a $500k debt because of my wagers. They are coming to me, Blake! I can't go home yet, so please just let me stay here, at leas
Chapter 18"What?! Are you serious, Blake? She's here to kill you?" Veronica exclaimed after Blake told her about what he heard the other day and when she started speaking."I'm serious, she's an angel, and her mission is to kill me..." he repeated.Veronica sighed, knowing that Blake was a vampire means it was not possible that the girl she thought was something special was actually an angel. She thought she might be like Blake or other creatures like a werewolf, after watching the CCTV footage but to find out she was an "ANGEL," she was surprised."So what do you do now, I can't believe she will soon kill you! After all, you did for her!" she was angry and in pain especially when she started to become close with Evangeline."She won't going to kill me, Veronica," a serious voice came out of his mouth.Her eyebrows met and asked, "How can you say? Did you make a plan?"Blake didn't answer fo
Chapter 19"Take care, babe," Veronica said when she got out of the car.Blake stared at her, "Babe?" he was confused."Yes, you kissed me, I kissed you back? It means we're now together, isn't it?" she smiled."Hmm, Veronica... about that...."Veronica held his hands, "You don't know how much you made me happy, Blake. It was hard for me to hide my feelings for you that I even made myself busy. I thought I had no chance but here we are..." her voice was delighted and Blake was speechless and just smiled; a smile filled with artificial.After taking Veronica home, Blake cursed himself for what he did, everything became more complicated for him. He parked the car in his garage and didn't know what to do next.He was heading inside their home when he noticed Evangeline's window. The light was dim, only her lampshade was on. He sighed and he knew he hurt Evangeline.The moment before he kissed Veronica, Blake fe
Chapter 20It's been a week since everything happened. Pocco was slowly recovering, he was already fine to walk by himself. Evangeline help him with his medication while Blake was busy in the museum, avoiding Evangeline. He was always waking up early in the morning and coming home late at night. Making sure there would be no reason for him to have any conversation with Evangeline.It's already 11:00 at night, Blake got home and was surprised to see Veronica was there."Veronica?" he whispered, and Veronica walked closer to him and wrapped her hands around his neck and gave him a quick kiss.He didn't see it coming so he got speechless, same with Pocco and Evangeline, who was sitting on the couch, quiet and surprised."I couldn't reach your phone and decided to visit you, babe. And I found out that you are busy these past few days. So, I just wait here with Evangeline and Pocco," she said.Blake turned his eyes to Evangeline
Chapter 21 "Oh it's 2:00 am," Veronica whispered when she checked her phone. "Are you sleepy?" Blake rolled his eyes at her and Veronica nodded. "Yes, I would love to go home now?" she replied. Everyone then sat up straight and was getting ready to walk Veronica and Blake to the parking garage. "No," he shortly responded, making all eyes clearly wide open.Confused, she asked, "Hah? Is there a problem?"Blake stood up and stared at her, "You'll sleep here tonight, it's dangerous outside, I'll take you to your room," he said. "Not, if I'm with you," she winked. Veronica has a car when she came but she wished she just left her car like last time.Evangeline stared at Blake. "Veronica," he sighed. "I know but it's really late, your home is far away from here. It's better to stay here and have a rest immediately. I'm a bit tired as well, I couldn't drive you there..
