Unknowingly to Sheri. Laurence was the only one who is good toward Alana. They met in the past when he was young. When the family of Laurence was going home in the middle of the night. They were ambushed by bandits. His wealthy parents didn't survive the incident, and he was left behind wounded. Alana was merely passing by that road when she heard the hoarse groans of a kid. She swiftly follows the voice and saw a wrecked carriage with two slain bodies blatantly lying on the ground.
She discovered the muffled sound and there he is a 10-year-old kid wounded. Alana rushed him home and help him. She sought someone to call her family doctor and when he arrived, he directly helps him. The whole night Alana was with him and when he was awake he was shouting crying and looking for his parents.
Alana patiently supports and takes good care of him but the trauma he has is something Alana can't cure. She decided to seek someone to help him get over, with his trauma. She knows a couple that is serving her noble family for countless generations. They were precisely like a family to Alana and whatever Alana asked they are willing to do.
The reason they were faithful toward the Lannes family is. They are the only vampire family who accepted them when they were banished from their own clan. So when Alana asked them if they can take good care of Laurence. They gladly agree and treated him as their own child since they don't have any children.
Alana provided everything for Laurence in secret until he grew up and becomes a merchant and founded an underground group. He never remembers Alana until the moment she died that his godparents told him about Alana. He was devastated when he found the truth about her.
In this life, he found out earlier who Alana is when he was sending someone to investigate her background. His godparents heard about it and told him about Alana. He was completely shocked. He was grateful he didn't harm her when he kidnaps her.
From since then on. He was faithful in sending flowers and gifts to Sheri.
Sheri was massaging her forehead when Ghani arrived. Sheri already changes to her casual dress.
"Sorry Alana, I was late. The pest was in front of my house again, and I was able to escape only now."Ghani said while gasping.
Ghani was constantly being followed by Jack every day. He always brings flowers, chocolates, valuable jewelry, and many more rare gifts but Ghani throws it to his face and closed the door. Sometimes she has to climb at her back window to get out of her house.
They were like a cat and mouse. Jack on the other side finds it amusing. He loves going to her house and gently teases her. Merely looking at her face makes his dead heart beats so fast. This day Ghani climbs to her window and climb down and run toward Sheri's house.
Sheri saw Ghani gasping, and she went and gets a cup of water for her.
"It's ok," Sheri said gently.
"Oh did you have a visitor?" Ghani said while looking at the plates.
"The Laurence guy came and bought a breakfast meal," Sheri said.
"Who? Who came?" A deep voice sounded at their back.
Sheri and Ghani looked at the door and there stood Angelo with a flower.
Sheri and Ghani were dumbfounded when they saw him.
"What are you doing here?" Sheri asked.
Ghani walked carefully to the side. From all the potential suitors of Catherine Ghani knows that Angelo is the scariest of them all.
"I came to visit my wife," Angelo said.
Sheri rolled her eyes. Ghani also wanted to roll her eyes, but she just lowers her head low. She knows she cannot mess with the man next to Sheri.
"Now, you see me leave," Sheri said while crossing her arms.
Angelo draws closer to her and caresses her lips.
"My wife, I think you forget what I told you before?" Angelo gently grasps her chin and looks at her in the eyes.
