Shaina knowing that her sister just wanted to put her in a difficult situation glare at her clutching her hands, the strong desire to win and prove her wrong came over her and rather that admit her lies she felt like going deep into her lie
“Yes!” she affirmed “yes it’s true” she answered forcing a bright smile on her face
“Who is he? How could you get together with a man without informing us first?”
“Why can’t I? Selena got together with my first love without informing me also” she said feeling upset at herself for showing her emotional feeling
“So where is this husband of yours sister?” Selena asked still in a mockery tone she was sure her sister is just lying and putting on a drama, there is no way she could get over Dylan so quickly and get herself to that man she saw back then or any man for that matter
Slowly with mixed feelings Shaina turn back to look around for her mysterious husband which she yet to know at that moment she wish some miracle could just happen to prove her lie true, or maybe an eruption should occur to stop this moment from happening.
Just as she was praying her eyes caught him at a far distance staring right at her, that instant she felt thrilled inside of her and smile appeared on her face.
Without hesitation she said out loud to everyone on the table “that’s him”
not waiting for more enquiry from them she hasten her steps towards him keeping the exhilarated smile on her lips, her foot halt an inch in front of him.
“Be my husband!” she requested locking eyes with him.
Not sure of what he was feeling, Samael let her go back then not making a move to stop her but then immediately she left he felt the need to go after her but couldn’t
Ian isn’t here to check out things for him and going out to the main hall might resort into something dreadful. He tried finding him with his venom sense which is in his body but he couldn’t, left with no choice he chose the dangerous decision of going after her in the crowd.
Struggling to get pass the human who keep buzzing like bees in the large room he finally heard her voice from a distance and look towards the direction staring for long not making a move
he watch her turn to him and racing towards him, the urge to lock her into an embrace the moment she stop in front of him was disrupted by her request ‘be my husband’.
Hearing those words again his true self wanted to force itself out in excitement as those words but he manage to keep himself in check as he let their gaze capture each other and letting her grab all his senses.
The Dothads stood up from the table and walk towards them along with few people who were a bit curious as to what is happening, seeing her family walk over from a corner of her eyes she quickly grab his hand breaking their gazes
“Please mister pretend to be my husband again I promise to do whatever you want afterward” she pleaded silently and quickly plaster another smile on a face this time her smile is hinted with a feeling of pride.
Selena is the first to get to them as she couldn’t contain her shock seeing the same man again and the fact that Shaina called him her husband yet again, she couldn’t be wrong about her facts, her sister cant in any way be married to him
‘When did it happen? How on earth?’
“Mom, dad, meet my husband” she introduced cheerfully her hand still entangled with his and she is happy this time he’s not trying to pull away
“Husband?” Dylan questioned also shock at the news
“You got married without telling us?” her mother asked feeling shock and angry, her voice was loud due to her anger that everyone nearby heard what she just said, curious to know more few people gathered around them creating more eyes to the scene.
Ian who just escape from another argument with his wife entered the hall to meet the unexpected scene, also curious to know what is going on in his party he move towards the little crowd gathered and the people who have been waiting long for him follow suit trying to get to speak with him in the process.
Making his way to the front of the crowd he stare in shock as fear grip his mind seeing Samael out in the crowd, knowing he shouldn’t be out there he move to him and gave him questioning looks
“What is going on here?” he asked his eyes piercing his for a quick answer
everyone seems more interested seeing the Vice president of S.V talk to the strange man in front of them, some of them recognize the Dothad family and also Dylan but none seems to have an idea of who the man holding one of the daughter of Dothad’s is, while the few who heard their words minutes ago were wondering with different thoughts in their mind.
“Mr. Dothad suddenly spoke up diffusing all the silent, he join the two and tried to make best of the situation, his family shouldn’t be seen as an irresponsible one who have no idea about their daughter’s marriage to an unknown man
“She’s my partner, my human wife” Samael responded to Ian’s questioning eyes and left everyone including Shaina herself in a dumbfounded situation.
Or maybe all except Selena whose body temperature rush through in rage as she heard the news, the feeling of hatred once again rose in her heart as she stare digger at the two holding hands.
Things felt a bit intense as she stood in front of the large crowd of people who stare them in disbelief at the news, in her abide to get upper hands over her sister she seems to have create a much big problem for herself, she look at him for help and could swear she felt a strong spark in his eyes the moment her eyes met his, somehow her body shook under his gaze.
She quickly look away from him facing her parents and the crowd who seems confused and shock at the news.
Confused than ever Ian looked Shaina through wondering who she is for his friend to call her ‘wife’ the crowd gathered around them isn’t helping as they all wonder who the man is since nobody seems to know or recognize him
“everyone please go back” Ian said and gestured to the crowd to dismiss although they were a bit reluctant they all find their way to their different business leaving the Dothads
“Am so sorry for this” Mr. Dothad apologize feeling embarrassed for causing a scene
“It’s no problem sir, if you will excuse me I need to speak with my friend” he told them and pull Samael along with him leaving the Dothads to sort things out with their daughter.
“I didn’t know your second daughter is married Mr. Dothad” they all turn to the voice and a slim average height woman appear among the crowd of people walking to them, her dressing and posture reads exorbitant as she approach the family
‘Madame Odelia” Selena called and rushes over to greet her
Dylan also walk to meet her and the two had an awkward greeting before the rest join them, she face Mr. Dothads who in turn face her and put on a friendly smile
“In-law you are here” he said
“Your daughter isn’t married to my family” she asked and stop steps away from them all
“No need to call me so intimately” she said and face Dylan
“But our wedding is in two weeks’ time mother” Selena said her face suddenly turned forlorn as she hold hands with Dylan
“Then get married first before addressing me as mother” she said dismissively at the discussion,
She move a bit closer to Shaina who was standing behind her mother absent minded and gave her a long stare
“I didn’t know you are married, you use to chase Dylan around all the time and never back out even when you realize he doesn’t love you, how come you got married before your older sister?” she asked her gaze still on her while others look on waiting for Shaina’s explanation of the situation although Selena seems angry at being ignored
Shaina stare at the late sixties woman feeling offended by her words, she has known her as Dylan’s maternity grandmother and as always respected her but hearing the woman speak like that to her she felt like saying something rather than keep quiet and nodded like she always do after all she’s no longer chasing after her grandson
“Madame, don’t you think your words is a bit… I never really followed Dylan all around and besides he’s getting married to my sister now”
“You used to call me granny but now it’s Madame?” she asked with a light chuckle and then turn to Mr. Dothads who gave a little bow under her gaze
“Your second daughter seems more interesting than your older daughter” she said and gave him little pat on the back before exiting with Dylan who excused himself before following after her.
“Uhh! That annoying old woman she always gets on my nerves” Selena said between gritted teeth as she watch her leave.
Even though she shouldn’t, Shaina felt like she should go back to search for him but as she took her steps to the opposite direction her arm was gripped tightly by Selena who saw her
“Where did you think you are going? You need to explain this” she said
Shaina wanted to fight her but the look on their parents face made her decide otherwise, she sure has an explanation to do after all the drama that happened tonight.
Back to the same room where Samael was first in before the interruption and encounter with the human female, he took his seat back at the long sofa there lying on his side to get a rest while Ian sat next to him in a smaller chair looking upset and worried
“How could you leave the room knowing how dangerous and grave it could get?” Ian asked holding a firm look
“You promised me never to step out of this room why then did you leave?” he questioned
Samael close his eyelids for a second and open them again causing the things on the table to start to flow his hair color took a new change as he controls the air around the room, Ian look on anxiously as he perform the act, after more than twenty years of friendship he still doesn’t understand him or his change of emotions
“Friend, you are crossing your limits” he said gently and stop the movement moving his hair back a little he sat down straight
“the human you sent here brought in humans are filled with blood and I almost lose control of myself the only option I had was to go away from here to get my head cleared or else you will have dead bodies to clean” he said and draw the bottle of red wine from a distance to himself
“Open it” he told him, and Ian reluctantly do so. He waited for him to have a full gulp before he continue their discussion
“I already fired him after learning about what he did and also took precaution so none of them will say a thing” he explained and watch him take another gulp
“Maybe you should slow down in that thing” he advised seeing the speed at which he drinks
“This is one of the things that looks like blood in your world and besides the taste is so good every time I take it” he said and took another gulp directly from the bottle
Ian sighs as he watch him continue with another bottle the room is filled with different kinds of red wine since that’s the only liquid he takes whenever he comes to the human world every once in a year, the intriguing thing about this is that no matter how much he takes he doesn’t get drunk.
The only time he comes is during S.V’s yearly anniversary not because he care so much about the party but the energy buzzing from all the people in party room gives him enough energy to sustain his desire and quench for human blood and also a remembrance to the honorable fight against the dark power to stop it from invading the two worlds.
Ian watch him take another bottle and waited for him to finish it before talking to him about the company, although Samael doesn’t live in the world he does his job as the president of the corporation, being a thousand years demon his intelligence is much better than an average human and like a robot he easily and adapt and learn things faster than a human would so this make him a genius in the human world.
“Am going to stay in your world for one more day, make preparation” Samael said out of nowhere
“what?” Ian asked in a loud voice wanting to be sure if he heard him well enough
“That woman from before I need to see her again” he said and drop the final bottle on the table
“Oh that, but what was that all about? He asked and watch him give a confused look
“You called her your wife” he clarified
“I need to be sure about that too but one thing am sure of is that she will be useful human”
“What did you mean?” he asked again
“Her soul doesn’t attract the dark energy like others, rather it gives a strong positive vibes which doesn’t smell blood but calmness” he explained and then his expression begin to change as he remembers what happened about an hour ago
His short hair begin to grow fast while his eyes color takes it real form and his body changes faster to a non-human feature the venom in his body begin to showcase as his human form disappear slowly
“What are you doing? Someone might come in” Ian said worried as he watch him slowly take his form but right before he could change completely he stops and turn to the worried looking Ian who sighs as he sees him come back.
“I will arrange a place for you to stay but please don’t cause trouble” he pleaded and stood up to leave the room
“There are a lot of people waiting to see me, I will go see them and come back” he informed and walk out of the room.
