"Go on out with grandfather. I'll join you guys later. And don't worry, he doesn't bite." ' A vampire that doesn't bite? please.' Porter thought and rolled his eyes inwardly.
"Yes sir" he replied and followed William Cash out of the hall.
Anthony's smile faltered as he faced the people he was talking with and said "I can see that you like prying into my matters especially you Lucas. Don't think I don't know your little secrets."he leaned closer to Lucas and whispered "How you are related to the murder of Clarabelle Dew and how you framed Taylor Kari for it."
He went closer to the next person, Raul and whispered " I also know how you framed Christina Agnus of being in cahoots with the witches you let in. " he smiled as he saw their shocked faces. He went to the next person, Lady Elena and did the same as he whispered "I know of your plan to snatch away your sister's fiancé. How you want to poison his mind against her and sneak your way into his life like nothing happened. "Lady Elena gasped she drew back and said "how dare you? "
" What? Isn't it true? Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. No one heard. "he smirks and turn to Lady Thana and said with a normal voice" I don't need to tell you your own sin or do I? "
" I don't have anything to hide. " she spoke boldly. " Yes yes. I believe you"Anthony said and laughed. He looked at the last person, Lady Lenora and said" your sin is not much and not as severe their own." he faced all of them and concluded "Good night ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your time and patience. I hope I never see you again." he referred to them as he walked away from them to meet with his grandfather and Porter waiting outside for him.

Anthony's Mansion…
"Where's your daddy?" Lia asked as she checked the time. It was 02:23pm.
"Didn't he tell you that he doesn't come home often?" Lucy asked her.
"Well…he didn't say it like that."
"Hmmm" Lucy folded her hands and looked at Lia like she didn't trust her words.
" Don't look at me like that. He just didn't make it specific and clear enough. "Lia defended. " Well he's not coming home tonight so we better get some sleep. Besides, I need to get ready for school early in the morning. It's already late."Lucy said as she stood up and headed for her room, massaging her face as if she put on an ointment.
" The girl is odd. Infact, the whole family is odd. Aish."

" You took your time, Tonio. "William Cash said as Anthony approached them.
" Watch the name grandfather. And of course I took my time. It's not as if you are about to die now, is it? "Anthony laughed as he said this.
William ignored him and asked" What brings you here? As I have known, you have never accepted an invitation from the council before. Why this one? "
Anthony's face and aura turned serious as he spoke "Your friend, Charles Linton is trying to mess with my children. Tell him to stay the hell away from my kids."
"What did he do?" William asked with seriousness
"Tried to abduct them when they were at the playground six days ago. I knew that I would find you here that was why I accepted the invitation from the council. Says he's doing some experiment and needs vampire blood. Tell him to use his own or that of his bastard son whom he hid away from the world. I don't care where he's gonna get it from. I don't wanna see him and his puppies anywhere near my children. This warning won't repeat itself. "
" Anthony, calm down. I'll talk to him. It won't happen again."William said
" It better not."
How's Isabella doing?" Anthony asked.
"She's fine. Why did you bring a human to this particular party? "
"You are saying particular as if I attended the other parties that the council hosted. He wanted to see the creatures called vampires and werewolves just happened to be here as well. Which probably means that you people have not yet found out the hideout location of the witches. I would have loved to help but I've gotten a new nanny and I have to assess her. "he whispers" She's Dmitri's hidden second child"he chuckles "but she's nothing like him except for the stubbornness and fighting spirit. Very interesting though."
