She sat down and kept staring at Aiden hoping that he will break the silence but that didn't seem to be the case, he too kind of seemed to be distressed about something.
Though Adrienne had already noticed his changes she couldn't just break the silence and ruin the beautiful moment that both of them were enjoying.
Food arrived one after another, still, Aiden didn't speak a single word. He just kept his eyes focused on the food without looking at Adrienne who was right in front of him, he was clearly going through something.

Meanwhile, Aiden's head was a mess, he couldn't lift his head up but yet he bared everything because he couldn't destroy the sweet moment that both of them were enjoying but for some reason, he too was gradually realising that he was ruining the moment.
But with the state he was in he couldn't manage to open his eyes and look at her, the headache that he was going through was hinting at something.
It was that he is not going to be the person he used to be in a few moments and the result of it would definitely be something horrific, and he couldn't manage to put Adrienne through that situation.
He was more than sure that he won't do anything to Adrienne but he wasn't sure whether he would be able to stop himself from going after someone else's blood.
He finally stood up from the table.
"Adrienne, I don't think that I can continue to do this anymore, do enjoy the food and make sure you lock the door of your room after you go into the room.
No matter how hard I knock on your door and ask you to let me in or help me, I beg you, Please don't let me get close to you tonight."
"I am going," he said as he ran away from the restaurant leaving Adrienne speechless.
She too had realised that something was wrong with him but she couldn't dare to ask him, she was a bit scared but she wasn't someone who would think twice to risk her life to help someone.
And right now it was the same thing that he wanted to do for Aiden, after all this time that she had been together with him she knew that he would never hurt her no matter how many people he killed, and after seeing him all this time she had realised that he has no harm towards her.
With all those thoughts that flooded her mind, she didn't see where he run off to and with the place he was in he wouldn't be safe here after getting rid of someone.
He was in a place that is probably covered by security cameras, when doing it or not there is a faint chance of him getting caught, she thought as she continued to look around her.
"Waiter," she called the waiter over.
"Please don't send any more food in, can you please send some pain killers for headaches to my room? Also by any chance did you see where Mr Aiden went to?"
"Yes Mam, I think he probably walked towards the garden in the back," he said pointing towards the back of the restaurant.
"Thank you," she said and ran in the direction that the waiter showed her. The dress she was wearing or the high heels that she was wearing couldn't get in her way, she was determined to find him and stop him from engaging in something violent.
To her surprise, most of the lights in the garden were switched off but she continued to search for him without making any sound.

Meanwhile, Aiden was already going crazy, the blood thirst that he always had in him was coming out slowly but yet he had most of himself under control.
Everything in front of him became unclear as he walked toward the end of the garden, and he knew that the moment he loses his sight and mind he is no longer going to be himself.
His instincts were searching for something to prey on, he was determined on nothing but getting rid of someone, listening to them scream, cry and beg him to spare their life.
But so far non of those begging were able to make him spare anyone's life.
"Let's see," he said finally getting back on his legs and opening his eyes,
"I don't smell anything alive here," he said as he continued to look around.
On days that no one annoyed him, he would always be in a sticky situation to find someone to prey on and today was such a day.
When he had no one that annoyed him the only one whom he could find to prey on was random people he picks fights with on the streets.
His hands went to his back pocket and picked something out, something that shined even in the darkness that was reigning over the garden.
It was non-other than one of his favourite daggers that he used to get rid of a few people in the past, though he never intended to carry something like this with him, the subconscious of his didn't let him go around hands-free.
He always had something sharp, something sharp enough to end someone's life with him.
He walked towards the employee quarters hoping to find someone that he can pick on, and the exact thing he wanted to see came into his sight.
An employee was getting blamed by the manager, but yet this was not enough to convince his mind to get rid of him, he continued to closely listen to their conversation while hiding behind the tree.
"Please don't fire me," she said while putting his hands together.
"Oh really, are you telling me not to fire you after you made such a basic mistake?"
"Mr Dan I promise you that something like that will never happen again in the future, if you fire me right now I will have no other way to support my family."
"Please re-think"
"Well.. if you insist there is also another way that you can get out of this.
What do you say?"
"Tell me Mr Dan I will do anything if I don't get fired," she said while getting on her knees with her hands together.
"Take your clothes off then, if you do that I will pay you to double the amount these people pay you as your wage."
"Either sleep with me or go home," the Manager talked while looking at her with his lustful eyes.
"So I guess you don't want to do that, then get out of this place right now!"
"Mr Dan this is not right, you should be doing this to an employee."
"I guess you are the only one who is refusing me if you want to keep staying in this job you have to do this unless you won't even stand a chance.
How dare you women refuse a man who is paying you to sleep, women are nothing but men's lap dogs."
He grabbed her by the color and started unbuttoning her blouse, she was keeping her mouth shut but behind that silence, there was resistance but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't go against the force that he was putting on her.
"How dare you address women like that!" Aiden appeared right behind them before something else would happen there.
