MY POUND OF FLESH Chapter Twenty-Five
I could remember his words from last night when he said I was his. It was ringing in my head without ceasing. I felt happy he marked me his. I turned on the shower and began to sing Bang Bang by Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, and Ariana Grande.I closed my eyes as I hummed to the song. I felt someone's arm around me. Scared as I didn't know who it was, I tried hitting the person, but a firm hand gripped my arm and whispered, "It's me".I would recognize that voice anywhere; the sound of his voice made me blush and brought colors to my face. I leaned into Mace's neck. The morning is finally turning into an exciting one."I thought you left"."No, I went to arrange for a change of clothes," he whispered to my ears."Come, let's get into the bathtub." He nudged me towards the bathe I instantly followed him without any argument.I sat down in the tub and began to lather myself. He peered the sponge out of my hand and began to wash me. It was finally beginning to feel like a good morning as I sat

Mace grabbed me, shielding me with his body. He used his hands to close my ear while yelling orders at his men. The car was speeding down the road while swerving from one side of the road to another, trying to dodge the car coming ahead and the bullets being shot at us. I tried raising my head, but Mace wouldn't let me, as his massive hands were holding me down."Watch out" I heard Mace screaming, that was the last thing I remembered before our car went flying in the air, Mace grabbed me, pulling me in his embrace and the car tumbled over, somersaulting in the air a couple of times, the second car in front of us stopped immediately, One of the men came running towards us while, the rest opened fire on the attackers, Mace kicked the door open with his feet, he crawled out of the car, he pulled off his suit and his shirt was covered in blood, he stretched his hands towards me and helped me to crawl out also, I was feeling a little dizzy, I looked at the drivers side and he was dead, I

I lay at his side, my mind filled with thoughts of the events of this night. I couldn't believe we would have ended everything tonight if I hadn't insisted."Tilda My enemies will keep attacking us and won't rest until I'm dead. Are you sure about this?" he said to me while still holding me."Stop already; besides, I'm ready for whatever comes," I said to him. He planted a kiss on my forehead and hugged me even tighter, while gently running his finger on my back. I had no trouble dozing off even after the traumatizing evening; it was as though he were my sleeping pills.I woke up the next morning to find him nowhere in the room. I had many thoughts running through my head. I jumped off the bed, covering my nakedness with the sheets. I had my hands on the door handle when I heard him speaking to someone on the balcony. I went over, only to find out that he was on the phone, speaking to someone and explaining our ordeal to the person on the other side. He was putting on a clean, dark bl

I wondered how much we were going to make if we opened a thrift store here. I ran my fingers through his clothes and brought his shirt close to my nose to smell it. I always found his Cologne intoxicating. I saw where he put my things, and I arranged them to taste. I hung up the remaining clothes and sat down to relax a bit before Mace arrived. I searched for Grace on social media and luckily got a hold of her. We chatted for a while before she told me she was actually in New York.I nearly screamed my head off, and I quickly asked her what she was doing in New York. She told me that she lost her grandmother a few months ago, and since nothing was holding her back in Boston, she decided to move to New York.I felt really bad hearing she lost her grandma, who is the only family she has left. We immediately fixed a date to meet up for lunch later tomorrow afternoon at a cafe, and I was kind of glad that everything seemed to be falling into place.It was a sunny afternoon, and I was hurr

I braced myself and opened the door. I nearly jumped out of my skin, looking into the bathroom with eyes wide open and in utter surprise. The urn fell off my hand, crashing to the floor in many pieces. His blue eyes were staring right at me. I was more confused than ever, not knowing what to do. I didn't know what scared me more, the gun pointed at me or the bloody bathroom and staring right back at me. My heart was racing so fast, and I stood transfixed."Amorino, it's you," he faintly said as he lowered the gun. I heard him turn on the safety switch and drop it beside him. His groan brought me back, and I ran into the bathroom, not minding the broken pieces of the urn scattered on the floor or the gun beside him. I was a bit confused about what happened and how the deep cut came about. The floor was littered with bloody paper towels and spills of blood. Mace was sitting down, backing the mirror, to get a good look at the wound. With his shirts off, he was baring his muscled body for

I woke up to the beeping of my phone. I turned my head from one side to another while blocking my ears with my hands, but the beeping wouldn't stop. I removed my hands from my ears and placed my hand on the other side of the bed, but it was empty. I jerked my head off the pillow and looked to the other side of the bed. I scanned the room; he wasn't anywhere in the room. I sat up on the bed, supporting myself with my elbow. I got up from the bed hastily, but the pain I felt advised me to apply caution next time.I limped to the bathroom, but he was still nowhere to be found. I was about to open the door to step outside the room when a white piece of paper that was carefully placed on the bedside table, with a caption read me, caught my attention. I limped back and took the paper to read."Amorino, I told Stella to make your favorite; I will be back before you know it." I was all smiles after reading the note but was soon overtaken with worry when I remembered his wound. I wondered how

He gripped my hands and pulled me into bed."You are drunk" he whispered "Now sleep".I made to grab him again. but he gripped both of my arms and turned me to face him, and that's how we slept off. I woke up the next day, and it was as though a parade was going on in my head; my head was pounding so hard, I could swear someone set a disco stereo on my head."So this is what they call a hangover," I said to myself. I was holding my head with both hands. I sat down, adjusting to the edge of the bed while trying to hide from the sunlight."This is what being a vampire is all about," I asked myself. I remembered the show Grace and I had put up yesterday, and I wondered if Grace was fine. This was the first time we drank together. Even though it seemed like my head was going to fall off, I still didn't regret drinking with her.I was smiling over our drama yesterday when I remembered her one-night stand with Ray. I instantly felt the urge to check up on her, so I fumbled on the bedside ta

I could read the expression on his face, but I tried not to read too much meaning into it. I knew it wasn't entirely going to be easy, but fingers crossed."We can do it." He turned and took a good look at Ray, then Grace. I know he must be very confused, wondering what is going on and what the occasion is. He smiled at Grace and quickly rushed to her."Mr. Hoult," Grace called him as they hugged tightly. This is the first time they have seen each other after the incident, I guess."You are putting on some weight, Mr. Hoult," Grace teased Dad, and then they both laughed. Mace and Ray went to sit on the couch, and I went to meet Grace and Dad, hugging them both. This has always been my dream to be with the two most important people in my life, but I felt so ecstatic when I knew that I have two families now and a man who cares for me. Dad asked Grace and me to settle down with him at the dining table. He asked Grace about her grandmother but was a bit sad when he heard that she was no m
