I am a Second Female Lead novel Chapter 40

After that incident, Sheri changes her lock into silver. She makes sure it's something no one can break especially vampires. Unless they will destroy the whole door. Every window she double-checks and puts a lock on all of them. She made a special key that she can only unlock it without touching the silver lock.

In a high-rise castle, a handsome man with a black coat is standing and looking at the pitch-black night. Suddenly another attractive man appears.

"I've heard your wife sold your mansion and moved out." He amusedly said toward the other man. The man frowns when he heard him.

He didn't answer, he turns around, passed him by and sits at his chair.

"What brings you here? Don't tell me, you came to gossip?" He said.

Jack is Angelo's cousin and the second suitor of Catherine. He has silver hair making him an outstanding and handsome man that both the vampires and the human are charmed by his looks. He is a well-known playboy but recently stop associating with other women due to Catherine. He openly proclaims his love toward Catherine making his cousin irritated by him. Jack loves to taunt his cousin and now that he heard some rumor he didn't hesitate to visit him. In spite of he has much work to do.

Jack chuckled delightedly. "I've never known she has the guts to do so. She's a nice girl." Jack sarcastically said.

Angelo was lost again in his private thought the last time he saw her is in her lovely house. Her house is nothing compared to the mansion that was once they called the place they will live. He finds the color of the wall, the flowers on the windows and the warmth of the living room gives a feeling of home. Before he hated it with all of his heart to go toward their mansion, and he even wanted to kill her, but his family is against it, due to their forefather's promise. Now He doesn't understand why.

The moment he saw her at the store, he fell a throb of pain in his heart. He couldn't figure out why. The time he smells her. He fell he smells that smell before. Notably when he touched her. He fell a shiver of excitement in his soul.

While thinking deep, Jack waves his hands toward Angelo's face. Angelo scowls.

"What were you thinking?" Jack asked.

He looked at Jack.

"Are you not busy today?" Angelo coldly asked.

"No, I am free today," Jack grin.

"Is there any news from the incident I'm telling you to investigate?" Angelo asked while grabbing his glass of red juice.

Jack becomes still and serious.

"I've been tracking these pests for almost a month now and I have observed one of them. Indeed, as what the rumors stated. They were having an experiment about sucking human blood. If this goes on. The whole country will know of our kind." Jack said.

Angelo pinches his forehead. For almost a year now that his investigating these kinds of vampires. Their source of food is human blood. They are frailer than them. They can be easily be killed by the sun, and they can only go out at night, and they multiply very fast. If these situations go out of hand. They will be all in danger.

After a few talks with Jack. Angelo and Jack speed toward the town and observe in the night. He also contacted some of his people.

Sheri and Ghani were at that same time cleaning and getting ready for the opening of the restaurant in a couple of days. It's already 2 in the morning when they were done.

Sheri shook Ghani who is sleeping in the corner.

"Ghani, let's go home," Sheri said gently.

Ghani slowly yawns and wakes up. "Sorry Miss, I fall asleep." Ghani apologizes.

Sheri smilingly shakes his head. "Nope it's ok and its Alana not miss." Remember we are now partners." Sheri said.
