Chapter 5

It's a typical work day for Violet at the library. She has to meet up with the detective for questioning about the footage after work, but she really isn't interested now that she had the answer. She wonders if she should keep the blood thirsty vampire a secret. Was he the only one? How long have they lived among them?

"what's up man!" She heard a familiar voice greeting Luca from the other compartment of the library. It's her ex-boyfriend Chris.

"What are you doing here?" She asks as he moves closer to her. He reaches out for a hug ,holds her tightly and whispers to her ear.

"I heard about what happened, are you alright?" He asks in concern.

"Oh yeah I'm great." She clears her throat in a bit of discomfort. "How is your wife?"She asks.

"Violet we haven't see each other for a long time and the first thing you ask is how is my wife?" He sighs.

"Well you don't have to come all the way here to see me. Why are you here Chris?" She said in a lowly pissed voice.

"I just want to know if you are ok?" He said and went quiet for a while, "What are you doing after work."

"Going to the police station" she says while giving him a stern look.

"Let me take you there please" he begs

"I brought my car thanks." Violet says, "I don't need anything from you…" Violet is cut short by Chris.

"I'll drop you off at the police station then we can have dinner." He says and give her a kiss on the forehead, then left.

Violet dated Chris for a year before she found out that he was married. She had already fallen in love with him at the point so it is hard for her to leave him. She found herself going back and forth with him. Chris always know how to get her when she is most vulnerable and it's always work.

Violet arrives at the police station with Chris waiting outside for her.

"So the CCTV footage shows nothing helpful I'm afraid. You we were just walking home, no one attacked you according to this footage."

"So why am I here?" She rolls her eyes in annoyance.

"The footage made me going back to your story. Are you sure you know the victim?"

"Well Officer, I know what I saw, and I don't want to go over this again. Everyone is beginning to look at me like I'm crazy." She said "If you have no further questions, can I leave, please?"

"It alright, I recommend you to talk with someone though." He suggests.

She gave him a fake smile and left.


"I have been thinking of you lately even before I heard the news of what happened to you." He says while holding her hand.

"Chris please not this again." She lets out a frustrated sigh.

"This time is different, I'm getting a divorce. I love you Violet, I want to be with you."Chris smiled.

Violet went quiet for a few seconds. She didn't know wether to be happy or sad. He always told her that he wasn't happy in his marriage and she was the best thing that happened to him. With these extra sugar coated words, Violet, as young and naive she is, was not ready to lose the warmth she felt for the first time in a long time . Its why she keep giving him chances and this time she is extremely excited that she can finally have him for herself.

Chris makes her feel loved, maybe because he had the ability to do so. He is married to the daughter of the Perkins family and they are quite wealthy, so Chris enjoyed some favors from the Perkins.

"Really, are you sure?" She asks couldn't contain the excitement.

"I'm sure baby" He says and kisses her passionately.

The night is extra romantic for Violet that she forgets about her problem for a while. The night ended them making passionate love and Chris sleeping over at her place.

The alarm rang loudly and Violet finds her way to stop it. She finds her way to Chris's chest and ran it his lower body and tickled him nicely.

"Morning, Handsome." She says and gives him a kiss on his chest.

He smiles and holds her closely. "I miss you in my arms." He says and takes his phone from the beside lamp table.

He jumps off the bed after seeing several missed calls and messages from his wife.

"Oh shit! I've got to go." He says as he rushes to put on his shirt and pants.

"What's wrong?'' Violet asks concerned.

"It's my wife, she is supposed be in London but her flight is cancelled." He says rushing to get prepared.

Violet is dumbfounded.

"I thought you said you are getting a divorce, why do you rush to her? "

"You know these things takes time, just be a little patient okay?"

"Wait, she's not aware?" She asks as anger was building up in her chest.

"We'll discuss this later Violet, love you, bye." He says and left the room hastily.

Violet knows that she is back on the 'merry go round'again. She sighed in frustration and wants to go back to bed but she has already lost the sleep.

"You look so innocent, but you're really stupid you know." A deep voice behind her says. She was startled and dropped the glass cup she is holding.

"Steel? You really needs to learn a thing or two about we humans, we are fragile! We are fragile and if I am sixty years old, I'd be dead because of the scare!"

"Hmm I'm not the reason why your boyfriend won't commit." He says.

"What do you want now? Are you here to finally kill me?" She tilts her neck to the sideways and moves her hair aside."Get it over, my life is worthless anyway."

He gives her a unimpressive look. "You're too skinny and you look anemic. I don't want to waste my time on something bad tasting." He scrolls to her living room.

She follows him and sits on the couch and hold the gaze contest like they are enemies.

"Wait, how long have you been here? did you…" she asks wondering if he was there for the whole sex scene.

"Argh no!! I havent been here long and human sex is too bland and emotionless for me." He says with a disgusted expression.

"You just said you didn't witness it?"

"I've seen enough, darling." He smirks.

"So are you ready to tell me how you got me home that night?" Violet asked.

"I knocked the guy out, messed with his face a little and worked a little seductive hypnosis on you. Nothing out of the ordinary." He said.

"Hmm seductive hypnosis, so we didn't have like hot vampire sex?" She tops it up with an awkward wink.

"get a hold of yourself, I know women fighting to get into my pants." He says with a smug smirk.

"Oh really?" She rolls her eyes at him.

"yes, and too bad, I won't sleep with you, princess."

Great!! because I won't either !! Violet yells.
