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..
Chapter 22"Goodnight," Blake said once again before he left the room. Veronica smiled and closed the door. The moment the door shut, tears flow through her face. She could feel that Blake was just pretending he loved her. She could see how Blake looked at Evangeline, the way he stared at Evangeline than her was too different. She knew that Blake was trying to tell him that but she managed to cut him off, she didn't want to break up with him, she was not ready yet.Veronica was trying to win his heart, she was assuming that there might be at least a few love he left for her. But the moment she kissed her, he didn't turn back the kiss, she tried to ignore it but he didn't as well tell her "I love you too," when she said, "I love you." The fact that after the day they became together Blake was all busy in the museum and didn't even ask her for a date."I'm right, he didn't like me, but why? Why does he have to tell me he loved me?" she asked
Chapter 23 Blake heard a knock on his door which woke him from his sleep. He immediately got up. "Who is it?" he yelled as he rubbed his eyes. "It's me, are you still sleepy? Should I come in?" Veronica said behind the door. Blake couldn't hear her, he wasn't focusing. It seemed like something was blocking his ear that he couldn’t hear what Veronica was saying. "Babe?" Veronica called but no one answered. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked. "I'm coming in, okay?" she said but still no response. Veronica thought he might still sleeping and she wanted to wake him up for breakfast. Tsk... Tsk... Tsk... Blake's eyes enlarged in horror the moment he heard his doorknob clicking. He hurried towards the door and shut it... Veronica was startled and taken aback. He was surprised that he left his door unlocked. "You're too careless, Blake," he murmured to himself as he leaned his back on the door. &nb
