Alex had been wandering around his parents' mansion, but he couldn't find Hector a.k.a. Lucius, the mansion's groundsman. "Where is the old man? Why did he disappear when I was looking for him?" Alex shouted as he threw himself onto the sofa. With a deep breath, Alex slowly closed his eyes. But even though his eyes were closed, the nerves in his head were still working. Indeed, they were working harder than ever.But while Alex was concentrating on finding another solution when Hector was nowhere to be found, suddenly..."Do you need my help?" Victoria greeted in a casual voice from a distance.Alex opened his eyes to see Victoria walking towards him with light steps and a sweet smile.For a moment, Alex's eyes felt like he was seeing Keira when that sweet smile graced Victoria's face. But Alex quickly pushed those absurd thoughts away. The woman he was seeing was nothing more than a vampire. Alex had to be careful.With a hostile look, Alex asked Victoria, what was Victoria's intenti

The city centre hospital became the scene of a tense meeting between Alex, Liam, Victoria and the survivors. They gathered in a quiet room on the top floor of the hospital. The victim, a young woman with dishevelled hair and frightened eyes, sat by the side of the bed. "I'm glad you're OK, Victoria." As if ignoring Alex's presence, Liam immediately greeted Victoria and then hugged her with great relief. "Thank you for your concern, Liam. You really are a good man." Victoria said sarcastically as she looked at Alex. Alex who only returned Victoria's look with a lazy roll of his eyeballs. In his heart, Alex said, "If Liam knew Victoria wasn't human, would he still hug Victoria like that? I'm very pessimistic about that." "Victoria dear, I still want to talk to you about many things. But right now the situation is beyond my control. Time will decide everything dear." Liam said, immediately turning around to greet Alex. "A, I really need your help. If what came out of that woman's mou

Alex sat in his chair, staring at the computer screen displaying photos of the victims of the serial murders that had rocked the city. These photos were taken from Liam's laptop. Of course, he had taken them without Liam's knowledge. Alex didn't want Liam to know that Alex was investigating the same thing.In the silence of his office, Alex tried to piece together all the information he had gathered from the crime scene, eyewitnesses and forensic reports. Alex, of course, already knew who was responsible for all these terrible events. He had discussed it with Victor back then. But what were the motives of the vampires? How do they choose? Was it just random? Or could it not be exactly as Damian had told him, that this was just like the past?Alex's mind was really being asked to think hard at the moment. Not to mention what he had seen in Lucius' past. Everything was slowly forming into interconnected patterns, including the mystery of the haunted art gallery and the mysterious tunnel

Do you know Uncle Remi?" Victoria asked in surprise. She hadn't expected Alex to recognise her adoptive father who she often called Uncle Remi."He's your uncle?" asked Alex, who was also surprised to hear Victoria call Remi uncle. He had no idea that Victoria had a relationship with the mysterious man he had met some time ago."No! He's not my uncle. He is my adopted father. He turned me into a vampire when I was dying in the hospital. Uncle Remi was a doctor by profession." Victoria explained in a serious tone as she walked quickly towards the bar. "He used to be a doctor, you know. But now he prefers to take care of this bar, a meeting place for vampires.""Doctor?"Yes, a doctor. Don't be surprised. He likes to try new things." Victoria whispered with a mischievous smile, then left Alex behind and ran over to Remi who was waiting for them at one of the tables. She hugged Remi tightly, like a child meeting her father after a long separation."'Sweetheart, I'm so glad you're all rig

Before they could approach Antony, Victoria pulled Alex back into the car. She had forgotten something."What's wrong?" asked Alex when he saw her looking for something in Alex's car."What are you looking for, Victoria?" asked Alex, not understanding what Victoria was doing."Do you have a hat or glasses in your car Alex?" Instead of answering Alex's question, Victoria, who was still busy looking for the two items in Alex's car, asked Alex a question back."I think so." Alex replied, turning around to get the hat and glasses he kept behind his seat.But as Alex turned around, Victoria turned around at the same time, so their faces accidentally met at such a close distance. Alex's heartbeat was clearly audible. Victoria handed Alex a pair of glasses and a hat. She asked Alex to put them on so that Antony wouldn't recognise Alex."Are you all right, Alex? Your heart sounds different." Victoria asked, causing Alex's face to turn red.Blush...Alex really didn't know what to say. There
