Alex’s POV “I-I’m so sorry Alex…I-”, was all Zoey could say before I cut her off. “I don’t want to hear it.”, I stated in a monotone and cold voice, he then turned to look at Damien, “Damien, I need you to track down the Parkinson’s family, that’s the only family that we know that has that abilities.” The Parkinson’s family is our greatest rival, both in business and in rankings. They can shapeshift, they’re vampires, of course, the sly types. “I’ll check on them.”, Damien said to me before he then walked in Zoey’s direction, placed a light kiss on her forehead, and gave her a soothing hug before he could leave. “As for you Alexa, it’s good to see you again, sis.”, I gave her a subtle nod before I started to pull Zoey’s wrist into another room. I closed the door and locked it before I could face her. “Explain. Now.”, I demanded from her, not sparing her any mercy. “You…already saw everything on the television.”, she muttered under her breath as she shook. ‘She’s hiding somethin
Zoey’s POV I woke up to two familiar voices and I suddenly remembered what was going on, I tread lightly toward Alex but just before I could reach their distance, I heard Alexa talking which made me freeze. “Dad didn’t have a natural death.”, I overheard her saying as I leaned by the near wall. “He loved The Queen, but once he started to get too close to her, Queen Mary’s blood killed him. She didn’t know, but he could feel that he was getting sick. He knew, but stayed with her till his last breath because he loved her.” My eyes widened in shock as I clasped my hands over my mouth. “Does that mean she’s our…?”, Alex asked quietly, making me wait for Alexa’s response to whether we were siblings. “No, and that’s not the issue.”, she stated. “Alex. You either choose love or death, everything you’ve done to build this company from scratch, or your wife.” I waited for Alex to talk, but all I could was dead silence. Tears welled up in disappointment. It was like he was trying to decide
“..Alex….Alex!”, Alexa called Alex, finally pulling him out of his state. Alexa started to get more worried as the months went by, she started to wonder if was the right choice to tell the couple, and she started to feel conflicted by her feelings and started to blame herself. But whenever she kept in touch with Damien, she started to feel butterflies in her stomach. Like he was meant for her and vice versa. “Alexa, let’s go forth with this plan…”, Alex’s voice trailed off with hesitation and regret in it. He wasn’t ready to move on from Zoey. Alexa kept Alex in hiding whilst Damien kept Zoey in hiding too. It was best for them to be separated so they could be safe. “Alex…I’m not forcing you to do this…especially not in a state where you can barely stand up. You don’t have to do this now. Just take a rest and we’ll talk about this when your mind is fresh.”, Alexa stated as she covered him with a blanket. “Alexa don’t talk shit to me…I’ve been looking for her for three months! And
“Zoey, run.”, Damien softly said before he was pulled away. Zoey’s body went cold but she quickly reacted. She ran towards him, pulled him back quickly, and transformed into a vampire. Her long nails were able to through the rope and she grabbed Damien and ran away back rapidly into the house. “Alex! Alexa!”, she roared. They quickly ran towards the voice to see Damien lying in her arms and her transformation. Zoey looked pale and cold, the short nails she once had, had grown out, and her sweet voice became deeper and rough. “Alexa…go take Damien into the car. We’re splitting up, it’ll be safer for us this way.”, Alex demanded in a stern but calm voice, not leaving room for Alexa to protest. Alexa did as she was told, now leaving Alex and Zoey alone in the room. “Zoey…? I know you’re in there…You need to get a grip on yourself. We need to get out of here quickly.”, he stated as he took slow and light steps towards her, ignoring the attackers that were outside. As soon as he was
Damien and Alexa stood up and their eyes widened. “Are you sure about this?”, Damien questioned. Zoey nodded. “I know it’s kind of a weird or bad time to bring it up, and I don’t mean to sound heartless, but I think that it’s for the best because if someone hired Sabrina to hunt us down, I think the problem is much deeper. They even have better resources than us.”, Alexa stated. “Yeah, you’re right…”, Zoey said. “But I think we need to think this through. If we erase everyone’s memories, we won’t be able to find Lily and Dante.” “Oh, about them, we found them, they returned home safely, but they don’t know where you are.”, Damien gave her an awkward smile. “What?! Why didn’t you tell me?”, Zoey exclaimed but started to talk quietly again, trying not to wake up Alex. “One problem at a time.”, Alexa said as she threw her a wink. “Go back to bed Zoey, try to spend time with Alex while you can, don’t miss an opportunity, we still have some time.” Zoey nodded and went back into thei
Zoey's POV I set my alarm up to wake me up extra early. It was going to be quite a day, I had to be prepared for anything and everything. Luckily after I came back to town I went to a nearby salon to do my hair. It looked quite untidy, it seems like everyone doesn't know who I am or even Alex. I need to ace this interview. "Because you never faked your personality like every other woman who threw themselves to me. Because you have a heart made of diamond and gold. You fight for what is right. That's what made me fall for you. You've stolen my heart at our first meeting, I just didn't know how to deal with it or what I was even dealing with. You made my life simpler.", Alex's words replay in my mind. I guess I need to follow this. I had a bath and brushed my teeth. I finally dressed up with black formal pants and a plum red satin blouse to go with it and black heels. I opened my hair after keeping it up for a long time, and it turned out wavy and put the chain around my neck. I app
Alex's Pov The next day I clasped my hands together as I leaned forward on my desk. I continuously tapped my foot. Why did she smell so good? Why did Damien leave? How is my sister even alive? And why....just why...whenever I'm around Miss Smith, I feel complete and satisfied, but not fully. I buzzed the intercom to call in my secretary, Kim. She's a bit older than me but she's smart, she knows she can't try anything on me. Kim is professional, but it doesn't mean I fully trust her or anyone with my secret, except Damien. "Is there anything I can help you with sir?", Kim asked as she held her hands behind her back and her posture was straight. "Hire Miss Smith, bring her in next week for the job, and look for Damien, see if he will talk to you.", I demanded. "Yes sir.", she nodded before leaving my office. I exhaled, ran a hand through my hair, and walked towards the glass window that gave a beautiful view of the city. Just then, I spotted someone who looked directly up at the b
Alex and Zoey walked in together into Steven’s winery. “Welcome guys!”, Steven exclaimed as he greeted them with open arms. He walked over to Zoey and kissed her knuckles gently, Alex clenched at the site but he couldn’t understand why. Steven then gave him a man hug. “And who may this be?”, Steven asked as he looked over to Zoey who was now looking around the place amazed. “Zoey. Is my assistant.”, Alex emphasized her name which grabbed her attention. “Zoey, why don’t you wait here and check out the place while I discuss business with Steven?”, Alex asked which sounded like a command, not giving her room to argue. She nodded. As soon as Alex and Steven left, she rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Devil…”, she muttered under her breath and decided to take a look at Steven’s finest wine collection. Zoey walked passed all the collection but something caught her attention, making her stop and turn her head. Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Huh…”, she muttered under her breath. Z
