Cardin Even with the sun rising, all I see is darkness, despite the two persons who assumes I'm pardonable towards their short coming, but little do they know, that I let them go only because they know how to humble themselves and ask for mercy. I derive joy when people fall at my feet to ask for mercy, I feed off their fear, I feed off their willingness to live but recently, I am not satisfied with the people who know me. I do not want people only in the confinement of my building to fear me, I want the whole of New York to fear me, I want them to tremble at the mention of my name, I want them to fall at my feet and beg for mercy any time I walk pass them. I want the whole world to fall to their faces at the mention of my name. I want to ignite fear in the life of all and for that to happen, I'll have to leave the confinement of this room. My name alone will bring that flimsy creature out of her hiding place. The approaching footstep snapped my attention to the door; I stood still,

LucyA small nudge from Lucas brought me back from my paralyzed state. I blinked rapidly but still kept my eyes on the golden eye man whose eyes were still locked on mine."Are you okay? I know the press can be exhausting most times. Just make it past the entrance door; I'll have the waitress get you something to calm your nerves."Taking my eyes away from the somewhat familiar man, I smiled politely at Lucas "I'm fine; it's nothing a glass of champagne can't handle"Giving the camera another warm smile, he placed his hand on waist and together we walked into the grand hall. I spared the golden eyed man another glance and I saw him glaring at Lucas's hand that is firmly on my waist.The evening went on well; Lucas met new clients while I got new business proposals which I promised to consider. I slowly got tired of the constant smiling and business proposals as well as sexual hints from the old men. I walked to the open bar and requested for a drink.Carefully nursing my champagne, I n

BaronTwirling the content of what is being held in the glass which is firmly in my hand; my mind went back to the event of this night. When I saw those two lying lifeless on the floor, I was actually happy because it proved that even in a feral state he protected Lucy. Seeing her on his arm is one of the best sights I've seen for the past three years. If he isn't a form of threat to her, that means she is my only hope in getting Cardin back. Cardin's Derka also feels the connection between them and I know that once he doesn't feel threatened, he will let Cardin come back and this might take decades or centuries, that I do not have patience for which is why I need Lucy. Just few hours with her, I caught a glimpse of the real Cardin. I can swear I saw his eyes go back to the lovely shade of brown. It seems Cardin is finally fighting his Derka for dominance upon feeling Lucy's presence. Even Cardin's Derka was also surprised that Cardin is finally fighting back.That lady lying in his r

LucyI woke up only to see the sun very high in the sky. I picked up my phone to check the time but I saw seven missed calls from Lucas. Sitting up, I tried his number only to be directed to his voice mail so I left a message for him. "If you receive this message, please call me back." Next I tried Jane's number but I got redirected to her voicemail again. Stifling my frustration, I got off the bed and walked straight into the bathroom to refresh.I saw an extra toothbrush which I used for brushing my teeth then I showered with his toiletries. After showering, I walked into the room with every intention of borrowing his shirt once more since I'm not leaving yet. I can't leave New York without Lucas and he's not picking my calls.Upon entering the room, I walked into the walk into closet; I picked up one of Cardin’s shirt and changed into it.Once I was sure that I looked presentable, I went downstairs in search of breakfast. The first person I met was Baron, he was in the dining room s

CardinAfter my call with the men Baron put in charge of Lucy, my next plan was to go visit the wine factory. I told Baron to give me a summary of what have been going on in the wine factory, starting from our sales increase to our loss for the past three years.Baron looked all serious with his fake medicated glass. He just likes to wear it, claiming that age is longer on his side. He pointed at the line in the chart on the table "So the demand for the wine is at a high rate and we do not have enough space and plant to meet such demand. I brought up the topic of finding a new space to start up another plantation but I guess your former self wasn't so keen on business"I taped my pen lightly on the table while nursing a glass of whiskey "Do you have any land or space in mind?" I asked. Knowing Baron, I know he has already mapped out a land even before bringing this topic to my desk.He removed his glasses and dropped it on the table "I have an eye on that your empty land in Hudson Rive
