Mr Andromeda soon left , leaving Mila alone with Ash who's facial expressions never failed to make her uncomfortable . The man is either frowning , glaring or scowling , none which were pleasant to look at .
Jasmine is in her periods and had demanded to be left alone because she wants to sleep . Her mother had detailed her over what happened in her absence : they were packed and ready but when they were about to take one of the cars and leave , Fernando , a man her father hired apparently to murder Mr Andromeda , as said by the man ; the man demanded they pay him and that he has lost many of his men in the process of trying to kill Mr Andromeda and when they had failed and he was on the way to call and inform their father , he heard that Maxwell Woods is dead . So it wasn't him who killed their father , Mila thought to herself before she continued to listen to her mother .
Fernando had blocked their way and had said he will take Jasmine until her mother works out the payment since her mother had told the man that she doesn't have money and that Maxwell left nothing for her or any of his daughters . While they fought to come to an agreement , Fernando turned violent and said her mother should work out the money herself and not ask him for ways , he approached Jasmine and tried to forcibly take her away but then Augustus showed up and saved them but Fernando managed to get away .
Mila had questions as to how Augustus was there to save them while he was at the church and she was running for her dear life . She had thousands of questions and she felt frustrated at the pace of questions that came into her mind and added to the bash of her many questions . What do the shadows want from her ? What does that man with blue lips want from her ? And why did he let her go ? Where is Augustus ? Who was that blonde man that saved her ? And where is the other Catholic man ? And how did Augustus come to be at two places at the same time ? And why would her father want to murder Mr Andromeda? She has alot of damn questions and the only person who could answer them are either Mr silver-eyed who just left and left the Mercedes Benz behind or it's either Augustus . The two of them have their own hundred and more questions that they need to answer, including her mom too .

"What can I help you with , My ladyship?" Ash asks her , his back facing hers as he packs the books on the shelves . He is climbing on a ladder since he cannot reach the upper shelves .
"I want to meet with Mr Andromeda . Can you-" Mila stops talking the moment he hits something with the book .
"Bugs . I hate them ." He speaks before he descends the ladder , jumping down from two steps before he approaches the table and he wipes the hardcore cover of the book thoroughly . "Unfortunately , I cannot arrange the meeting for you . He is the one that senses your urgency for him and he then appears." He looks up at her , his black eyes behind the spectacles creeping her out . He turns to the open window , dripping of the light from the outside. He speaks as he approaches the shelf once again ," And it is still too bright for him to come out . Midnight is his time ."
Mila's brows knot together .

She left the room after Ash's last words . What did he mean when he said it is still too bright for Mr silver-eyed to come out . What is he ? An owl ? A bat ? A vampire- oh my god . She halts in her steps as she looks around . Could he be a vampire ? Her blood suddenly runs cold at the possibility.
It could be the only reason and it will be reasonable as fuck . He is too handsome to be real . He has a killer smirk that affects her badly . She has only seen him at midnight only . "But it will not be reasonable because his touch his warm and he is not pale in complexion ."
Jasmine stood by the door with an irritated look and brows knotted as she looks at her older sister who she was pretty was going psycho. "Sex crazed ?"
Mila jumps to look at her back . Jasmine shrugs her shoulder , leaning by the door for balance ," It is the only explanation as to why you are talking of his touch and skin complexion to no one in particular ."
"No ." Mila disagrees . She approaches her sister ," I was just thinking to myself as to what if , he is a vampire ." Mila shrugs before she looks outside the window showing the beautiful yard outside ," It's stupid I know , but I was going through the possibilities and theories of what ifs."
Jasmine nods , though Mila could not see her ," I understand . He is hot , sexy and perfect in ways you can't imagine a living man could be . Expect that he only visit you at night time and shows you the stars and lets you step through the gates of heaven but then his touch is warm."
Mila turns to Jasmine . Her face is expressionless , other than the complicated emotions in her black eyes . "Who are you talking about ?" Mila questions with a suspicious look .
"Who are you talking about ?" Jasmine straightens up and points an accusing look at her older sister while trying to hide the guilt of speaking too much in her eyes .
Mila crosses her arms and she suddenly smirks ," Mr Andromeda. What about you?"
Jasmine crosses her arms too ," Augustus ."
A sharp gasp resounds from the girl's sides, causing their heads to turn and glance at their sides .
Charlotte Woods stood with her eyes round in shock as she looks at the two girls . She could not believe her ears .
