AFTER NIGHT FALLS CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
“Sir?” Elizabeth was dumbfounded. She had worked tirelessly for this company, only to be on the brink of being replaced by a stranger from the streets. Tears welled up in her eyes as her heart sank.“Yes?” Rohan responded, glancing at her and observing her distress.“Have I done something wrong, sir? I’ve been working for you for four years, and now you’re about to replace me,” she reminded him, her voice cracking with emotion.Avery watched Elizabeth speak, sensing the pain in her eyes. She empathized with her, knowing how it felt to be replaced. Observing Elizabeth’s love for her job, despite knowing Rohan was a vampire, Avery felt a pang of sympathy.“I understand,” Rohan said, sighing and glancing at Avery, who shook her head.“I appreciate your offer, sir, but I don’t want it,” Avery interjected before he could continue. She didn’t want any of these. She didn’t want to give Elizabeth the impression that she was after her position and definitely didn’t want to become her enemy.
AFTER NIGHT FALLS CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
A man stood with his hands behind his back, exchanging glances with the stoic men before him. He gulped as one of them bared his fangs at him. Soon, he heard footsteps descending the stairs. He stared at the stairs and saw Damien walking behind Layla, lazily gazing at him. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Damien halted."Who are you, and what is your business here?" he ordered nonchalantly, his gaze fixed on the man."My name is Cassius. I work for the royal family," the man replied, swallowing nervously. He knew he had offended the man before him. His eyes remained fixated on Damien's clenched and unclenched fist.Damien slowly walked toward the stranger, his fangs gradually protruding, instilling fear in the stranger's heart. Layla quickly grabbed Damien's hand, causing him to halt and turn to stare at her. She shook her head, signaling him to stop."So, why are you here?" Damien repeated the question, still fixated on Layla."I came to make an offer," Cassius began, rais

Standing alone at the window, Rohan gazed down at the garden, a bottle of wine in one hand, his brows furrowed. He examined his elongated fingers, lost in thought.With a deep sigh, he reflected on his conversation with Avery. Her rejection of his offer had rendered his efforts futile. He had believed she reciprocated his feelings at the party, where she had opened up to him, leaving him convinced that she felt something for him.Alas, he had been mistaken, and it had made him appear foolish. As he drank from the bottle, he disregarded the liquid staining him and the pristine floor. Luckily, being a vampire prevented him from becoming lightheaded and acting out inappropriately.He only savored the bitter taste of the alcohol, which surprisingly wasn't unpleasant. It had a slightly sour flavor with a sweet aftertaste. Chuckling to himself, he questioned his sanity while fixating on the bottle."What am I doing?" he wondered aloud, shaking his head bitterly, refusing to accept that he w
AFTER NIGHT FALLS CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
Sitting down on a chair, Avery watched her father as he lay with his eyes closed on the hospital bed. He had been like this for four days, and she knew without a doubt that he had gotten worse. He had bled from his nose and fallen unconscious, and since then, he never woke.She sighed and closed her eyes as a wave of exhaustion hit her. She hadn't slept throughout the night and only took the liberty to take a nap during the days since she had been here. Three months had passed since she last saw Damien and had avoided Rohan ever since.She couldn't get her old job back and had to rely on her best friend for a lot of things. She had tried reaching out to Damien, but it was futile and even tried to locate any of his henchmen, praying that she might see Layla, though they both never got along.She felt Damien never wanted to see her and wasn't joking about what he last said to her at the party. She wondered every single day what he was doing. Had he forgotten her? Was he living his best

“What did the doctor say about him? Will he get better?” Jeffrey inquired as he glanced at the man on the bed.Rubbing her hands together like she was cold, she glanced at her father and nodded. “Yes, the doctor did.” She replied and cleared her throat. “I really need to find a job. It’s been months, and walking some dogs for a few dollars won’t help.” She added and sniffed.At that moment, Amber’s eyes brightened up as soon as she heard Avery. “Why don’t you come work with me at the cake store?” She offered with a smile on her face.“Huh?” Avery mumbled in confusion as she stared at Amber.“Sorry for not telling you sooner, but there is a vacancy at the store, and Mrs. Lieberman really needs someone to take the job.” She said and seeing that Avery had a smile on her face, she added, “You may not like the job, though.”“And why is that?” This time, Jeffrey interjected as he had a frown on his face, along with Avery.“Well, she needs a cleaner. The last one got sacked two days ago.” Sh
AFTER NIGHT FALLS CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
Soon, Amber was driving, and it was already 4 pm. Mrs. Lieberman had ordered all the staff to leave, possibly wanting to be home before the curfew. Avery stared out the window as buildings, parents, and their kids passed by in a blur. Lost in thought, she couldn’t help but think of Damien – his voice, his charm. She missed him, despite knowing she shouldn’t. She wondered what she would do if he appeared before her, right there and then. Would she hate him, slap him, or embrace him? It was a question she would have to figure out on her own."Hey." Amber called as she stared in concern at her friend who had been quiet since they drove off from work. "Are you still worried about Mrs. Lieberman?" She asked, and Avery turned to stare at her."No, it's not that." She replied, and Amber stared at her with a raised brow. Now, she was really curious to know what was going on, and Avery knew pretty much that she was."Oh, so what is it?" Amber asked, and Avery stared at her, contemplating whethe

Damien stared at her with a slight frown on his face. He wasn't expecting her to react this way. "You don't want to see me?" he asked her, but she sighed and remained silent.She did not respond as her eyes caught the sight of her purse in his hand. "You stole my purse?" she asked, reaching out to take it.Her hand was stopped mid-air by his. His gaze burrowed through her eyes as if taking a look into her soul. He stepped forward, and she instinctively stepped backwards, confusion written all over her."Who hurt you?" he asked her, and she raised an eyebrow at him in puzzlement. She did not understand where he was heading to with his question. He took a handful of her lustrous hair and smiled as he felt its softness in his palm."You don't have the right to touch me!" Avery berated as she glared hard at him. She was angry, infuriated even. Right there, she wanted nothing more but to slap him right across the face.How could he? How could he disappear into thin air like that only to ret

Amber stared at his extended hand for a while before taking it, much to Avery’s relief. However, she quickly withdrew her hand, while not trying to conceal her displeased look. She glanced at Avery with a look that seemed to want to know why she was with Damien.She had always hated the vampires after her father had been killed by one. Ever since then, she always saw them as bad news and threats. Only she knew that she would never trust a single one of them and if given the chance, she would have them go into extinction. Although she hated Damien for being a vampire, she controlled herself to not say horrible things to him, because of her best friend.“Can we go now?” She asked and Avery nodded with a slight smile on her face. She quickly turned around and headed toward her parked car. “Excuse me, but what is he doing?” She couldn’t help but ask as she observed Damien and realized he was following them!“About that, I invited him to my house tonight,” Avery replied, forcing Amber to t
