Valerie “Blood crest has improved a lot since the last time I was here,” Mireya muses as the drive takes us through the city. I whip my head around to face her in shock. “You’ve been here before?” “I’m a rouge, Valerie.” she shrugs. “I’ve been everywhere. I only settled in Asheville because it felt more like home to me.”

“Actually, we were just discussing the wedding.” There was a long pause.Jesse rubbed his forehead.“…I understand.”Another pause.“Yes, we’ll come by this afternoon.”He ended the call and placed the phone down slowly.Everlyn folded her arms.“How bad?”Jesse sighed.“She wants to discuss the wedding.”“That sounds innocent.”“It’s not.”Everlyn smiled slightly.“I assumed.” By late afternoon they were driving toward the large Vance family estate on the edge of the city.The house itself was impressivewide glass windows, tall stone columns, and gardens that looked like they belonged in a magazine.

Valerie asked. "She is the CEO of Dewhales glamour shack!" The other said, And Valerie was stunned, "do you mean Lord Storm hired the CEO of the Glamour shack company here ?" She was stunned. They are the most expensive of all in the country, "Nice meeting you.. " Valerie was saying as she smiled at her, "Time gone, you have to follow us now ! " The female guard said, and Valerie pouted, why are they just so expressionless ?

Well, that’s not everything, truth to be told and things have to be clear! The “Evanson” name, this silver like the full moon bright in the sky, Crimson red eyes the color of two soaring full blood moons in the sky! A face that would make a Hollywood actress cowers in shame like a squid standing in front of a goddess! Yes… that kind of beauty/cuteness/nobility!

She moved back, going to stand hand in hand with my supposed mate. “What are you gaining from this?” I couldn’t help but ask, though trying to buy myself and April a little time, maybe I could still get a chance to rescue her. “You don’t have to know. You’d be dead in a few minutes.” She replied in a cold, emotionless tone. “Come on, don’t give me that look, Valerie, you have no idea how much of a pleasure it is to watch your execution,” Eve spoke with a cocky smile and crouched before me, letting out small giggles. “You had a tough reputation.

*** After finalizing the guest lists, Evan took Shantelle and Lucas out for a surprise. They drove an hour from the villa to another community closer to the Thompsons' residence. It was far from Evan's company and the heart and lung center, but the neighborhood had clean streets, good lighting, and attractive landscaping. Trees were everywhere, shading the streets and each home. Moreover, each mansion was built several meters apart, offering privacy. Shantelle immediately recognized the place. It was a new high-end residential community in Rose Hills called Green Valley Heights. But what were they doing there? Turning to Evan, she asked, "Did you buy a house here?"
