VANESSA P.O.V


You can't imagine how long I have been daydreaming on how it would feel to hold you in my arms for hours," he said and pulled me into a hug, I hugged him back patting his back.

"I feel so much better now, thanks love."

'Rhea are you in there?" I had to frown time around.


'I better start leaving. Bye love."

Something like a perfume spraying all over my room but I couldn't see the source.


'Kael, why are you doing that?"

'A witch is at the door, and they can smell vampires. I don't care normally but I can't let her take you for one, or know I'm here with you else she will use you for her selfish benefits," he explained.

'Bye again love," he said disappearing and I opened my door.

'Why did you take so long to open the door?" Safrina asked, looking into my room suspiciously, I came out and closed my room door. Okay, I don't like her already.

'Well, because somebody didn't check their time before knocking on my door to wake me up by two am in the morning," I sassed back. She looked at me angrily.

'I can knock at your door whenever I want to."

'And I can open my door whenever I want to." Tit for tat, baby I said to myself. She was shocked.

"I hate you already, and I have my eyes on you, so, watch your back."

'So, you came to my room this late to tell me that. Are you okay?"

'Don't raise your filthy voice on me, else, I will make sure you live to regret it," she said as she left. I watched her leaving wondering what her problem was.

I walked back in and continued eating the muffins, I ate some more, and hide the rest in the oven, turning the light on to keep it warm. And I laid down, sleeping off immediately. Thanks to the sweet delicious muffins.


The next morning, I woke up feeling lighter, after brushing my teeth I went to the oven and heated the muffins, after heating I brought it out and placed them on a plate trying to sneak it back into my room.

'What's that aroma? Who made muffins? Yayy!!." Racheal said, as she entered the kitchen. I tried hiding it, but she was fast than I was.

'Got you, bring them out, I saw them and I want them," she said,rubbing her palms eagerly.

'I made this for myself."

'Don't care, I want some, we eat it in peace or I'm ready for a fight," she said, clenching her fist. Fighting Racheal would only result to me getting killed.


'Fine, only one," I said squinting my eyes. She nodded and I held out the plates for her to take one and she dragged two.

'Racheal!!!!" I screamed as she ran out of the kitchen.

'If I find you, I will kill you, I promise." I yelled angrily as I took my muffins and the glass of orange juice to my room.

Dropping them on my table, Adam opened the door and I stood up immediately.


'See me in my study immediately," he ordered.

"Can I come after eating?"

"No, Rhea. All you know how to do is to eat and sleep. You can't do anything right." He sneered and left.

This is abuse I know, but what can I do, he would have killed me long ago, but I knew it was because of Racheal that he was still preserving my life.

I covered the muffins and locked my door running to his study. I can not afford to get him all worked up. I knocked.

'I called you so stop that unnecessary knocking," he barked angrily. I entered and stood. I would never sit down without his permission. He is a perfectionist.

"Sit! I am the boss, not you," he ordered and I sat down quickly.

'When are you going back to the Blood Moon pack to get that scroll? I need to go on with my plan immediately."

'Tomorrow," I answered, though I intended to go in three days time, but telling Adam that would trigger his anger.

"Good. Don't you dare make any more terrible mistakes else, it will be off with your head." I shivered in fear.

"Now, where's that necklace Safrina gave to you? I want to see it." I removed it from my neck and handed it over to him.

'Leave, I will return it back to you in two hours time." I nodded and left. I breathed out in relief when I came out of his office.

'Is he that scary to you?" I jumped and looked around seeing Rachael's amused face.

'Yes, I don't know how you manage to tame his behavior towards you, but you are a strong woman."

"I know I'm strong, but he's not that bad as you all make him look," she said, laughing.


"To you. Now, where's the muffin you stole from me?" I asked folding my hands.

'I ate them and they were delicious, do you have more? I would love to have more," she said, laughing as we went down the stairs to the dining room when I remembered my muffins, I went back to bring out the juice.

'Orange juice with tea? Really Rhea?" Racheal said laughing.

"I will take it before eating." I lied gulping down the contents of the glass.

"So why did you drink it before tea?" I shrugged and she looked at me Intently.

"You are hiding more muffins, I can tell," she said, and I frowned. Trust Racheal and her accurate guts.

"Yes, but you don't have access to my room," I said smiling as I began munching my French toast.

"Remember, Hilda has the spare key to all the rooms in this house," she said, laughing. I narrowed my eyes at her.

'Chill Rhea, I won't touch them," she said, rising her hands in surrender.

"I don't trust you around that muffins, you are very intelli…" I got caught short by a gunshot.
