There is no such thing as NYC Finance Co. It is purely fictional, and if you find a company named NYC Finance Co., it is purely coincidental.
BRANDON TATE
I open the door looking for my princess, I'm panting, I don't know why though.
I searched for her everywhere, I should have checked our bedroom first.
Stupid.
I see the bed empty but one thing causes me to frown, there's blood on the sheets.
Is she on her periods?
No she was just done with it a week back.
But where is she?
I walk towards the ensuite washroom and open the knob, my hands are shaking.
Why the fück are my hands shaking??
A loud gasp leaves me as I see what's in front of me.
My princess!!
She's fully naked on the bathroom floor-carpet near the sink, her small shivering body full of bruises, also bleeding.
I can hear her soft cries and it's breaking each and every cell in me.
I want to rush to her and capture her in my arms but I can't... I- I'm rooted to the spot.
She sniffs and wails, slowly lifting her trembling head and looks at me with her empty, ghostly, watery eyes. Her lips quiver as she sobs "W...why?" her teary eyes water more, but then her eyes roll back and her head bangs the floor as she lays there almost lifeless.
I gasp as my eyes open with a start, my body jerks and the first thing I see is my princess' innocent sleeping face.
I look around without moving my head... I'm in my room.
What the fück was that nightmare???!!!! It felt so real.
My heart is still thumping hard and I can feel sweat trickle down my temple. I feel Honey twitch and see an adorable frown come across her face.
"Brandon my hand." she sleepily whines.
I only then notice our position. My head is on her chest, my leg on top of her, fully pulling her to me and my hand has a firm hold on her small wrist.
I immediately loosen my hold on her dainty wrist and see her frown disappear slowly, making me kiss her cheek and sit up slowly, not wanting to wake her up.
I pick up my phone from the bedside table and see the time.
5:04 a.m.
On the screen I also see my eyes.
They're bright blue.
I close my eyes and concentrate to make my eyes back to normal and when they do, I sit and think about my dream- no nightmare.
My cherished princess... she was so hurt. Physically and emotionally.
Why was that??? The look on her face...
Her lively aqua eyes look so dull and heartbroken.
I shuddered still trying to calm the fück down. But I can't calm down!!
No. I'll not let anything happen to my princess. She's my life.
I feel something and look down to see Honey sleepily flail her arms searching for me and when she feels my thigh, she circles her arms around my waist and curls herself around me from behind and sighs, not wanting to loose contact.
This makes me smile fondly. She's such a sweetheart.
My heart blooms with love and adoration for her, taking over the fear from my nightmare.
I turn myself, still sitting and pick her up and drag her to put her on my lap and lean my back on the pillows.
I make her completely lay on top of me, her head on my shoulder, her arms around my torso and her legs on both sides of mine.
I kiss her face multiple times. Her cuteness will so be the death of me.
I take her phone, unlock the screen and go through her schedule for the day.
She has to get up by 5:30 a.m.
Oh yeah, she has her college placements starting today.
My baby will give her first ever job interview today. The thought makes me tighten my hold on her. Will she be ready for the real deal?
I kiss her cheek. I want her to stay in college and do her masters, giving her more time to grow up emotionally and mentally for the real world. But she said she wants to atleast do her internship and see how it goes.
Fair enough. Once I calm down, my thoughts go to last week, when I broke my vampire news to her.
My stupid move from last week makes me roll my eyes. Way to go Brandon. But I still can't believe she took the news so nicely... after... the initial scare.
*~*
"Princess... I'm a vampire." I said slowly.
She just looks at me blank, as if not believing and then closes her mouth and smiles.
Damn it. She thinks it's a joke.
"Sure and I am Tinkerbell." she rolls her eyes and gets off my lap and goes to the bedside table to go through her phone.
"Princess I'm not joking. I am a vampire. I got transformed into one during my visit to Cape Town." I try again.
"Okay!" she says chirpily, obviously not believing me.
I didn't like it.
Somehow it angered me that she thought what I am... now... is a joke.
I pull her towards me and then push her on the bed.
She looks at me shocked. God she looks so gullible and guileless, so small and powerless. And I don't know why that looks so pleasing.
Her innocent face makes me want to be a bit too beastly with her.
I pin her hands roughly to both sides of her head and before I can stop, my eyes glow bright blue and my fangs elongate causing her to scream.
"Nooo what-" she cries trying to get out of my hold but I'm in a trance, I lower my head wanting to bite into her lushness.
Just as my teeth scrapes the soft skin of her neck, "Brandon!!!" she screams and I'm instantly transported back to the stupid party 2 years ago, when she was attacked and I heard her scream for me. I'm immediately brought out of my trance.
I look down to see my princess' petrified face as she tightly closes her eyes.
What the fück was that???
I officially hate myself.
I softly kiss her left eye making her flinch, and then kiss her right eye, after which she slowly opens her eyes and once she sees me fully normal, she whimpers and extends her hands to hug me but then stops abruptly not knowing whether I'll hurt her or not.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
This is exactly what I didn't want. She's scared of me.
But the cutest part was she called me for help even when I was the one trying to bite her.
I sit up and slowly pull her to me and hug her.
"I'm so sorry princess I don't know what happened to me... I just... you were not believing me... and I- I'm sorry."
After a while I felt her hugging me back and gingerly put her face into my neck like she always does.
My baby.
I put her on my lap and stroke her soft hair as she calms down.
I just met after after four freaking months and this is how I break my news to her???
I keep cooing that I'm sorry and kiss her multiple times.
"Brandon?" I hear her small voice and immediately perk up.
"Yes princess?"
"Don't look at me like that ever again." she whispers.
I hug her even more tighter "Okay sweetheart. I love you."
"I love you too."
"Do you forgive me?"
"...Yes."
I guide her head to mine and kiss her lips, and as usual soon the kiss turns hungry. Honey seems a bit too explorative than usual.
After we break off, I start kissing her neck, going deliberately soft and gentle, so that she wouldn't get scared of me biting her. I suck on her hickey which I left a few hours ago, causing her to moan.
"Brandon... where did your scary fangs go? How did you turn into a vampire? I don't like vampires. Are you going to drink blood? How can you sit so comfortably when there's sunlight coming in? Will you have wings? How-"
I shut her up by capturing her lips again and then chuckle "You'll get all your answers my angel."
After an hour of explaining everything to her she purses her lips "You won't have those wings?" she pouts looking disappointed.
What????? Out of everything she could say...
I roll my eyes "I prohibit you from reading manga. That shit's getting into your head."
"But wings would've been so cool, you would look like my dark guardian angel." she sighs dreamily.
Hey I would look good, now that I think about it.
"I am already your guardian angel my love, I'll protect you from everything." I kiss her forehead.
*~*
I come back to present, when I feel her move and then slowly trail her nose on my neck and kiss it.
I smile. "Good morning my love." I whisper in her ear and kiss it.
"Noo." she whines almost inaudibly causing me to chuckle.
She hates mornings so bad.
"Get up, now, you have your interviews today." I coo and she immediately sits up in panic "Oh no oh no oh noo!!" and she rushes into the bathroom causing me to chuckle.
My chuckles die down once I remember my nightmare from morning. I can't get the terrifying image out of my head. She was so badly bruised up that it still gives me chills.
I immediately get up and call my secretary.
"Ryan, I need you to call our security company and change all the locks, security system, pass codes, black entry cards, everything, upgrade it to the best system. Also I want to level up the tracking devices installed in Ms. Samuels' gadgets so that I get realtime updates as to where she is everytime. Apart from Pearl and Audrey, I want a team on her, she shouldn't get to know about it though. Everything to be done by tomorrow. Am I clear?"
Ryan repeats all the points I told him and I finish the call and get ready myself.
Once I'm done with my coffee, she comes down looking so beautiful in her sky blue formal shirt and black trousers with black formal heels, her hair in a neat ponytail.
"You look beautiful princess, come let's go." I hand her her coffee and bagel for the ride, as we walk towards the exit.

HONEY SAMUELS
I see Brandon waiting for me infront of the college gates and literally run into his arms and squeal.
"Brandon I got placed in NYC Finance!!"
"What??? I'm so proud of you babygirl!" he gushes as he captures my lips in a searing kiss.
My feet never touch the ground as he presses me to him and we both kiss eachother like long lost lovers.
A wolf whistle brings us apart and I blush and look back to see a group of junior guys smirking at us.
Brandon tenses as he sees them eyeing me. I squirm trying to get down but he doesn't oblige. Once the guys leave after getting his death glare, Brandon gets into the car with me.
"Gordon. To the beach."
"Yayyyy!" I squeal and hug him tightly. "I love the beach!"
"I know that sweetheart." he coos. "We'll celebrate your placement there. Why don't you show me your joining letter?"
BRANDON TATE
I swear when we get married it'll be on the beach since she loves it so much.
She enthusiastically removes her file and I go through it.
The post of assistant finance trainee.
NYC Finance Co. huh?
I need to buy some shares of the company to keep an eye on her.
The nightmare from morning has been plaguing my thoughts all day.
I'm getting paranoid. I need her safe.
I cannot imagine her like that in real life. I look to my side to see my precious fiancée squealing and giving the good news to her mom and smile as I open her bun, letting her beautiful hair fall open.
I stroke her hair softly and she closes her eyes loving the relaxing feeling and slowly brings her head to my lap continuing talking on the phone.
I extend my hand and remove her heels and see her stretch her legs and wiggle her little toes and smile.
I go through the terms and conditions of the joining letter for the rest of the journey.
As we reach, I see my princess cuddled up with her head on my lap and don't have the heart to wake her up. But I know she would kill me if I didn't wake her up to see the sunset, so I softly shake her.
"Princess wake up." I whisper in her ear.
She scrunches up her nose and then sneezes thrice, making me chuckle.
She'll never stop being adorable.
I pick her up in my arms and take the packet of beachwear I brought for us and walk towards the unisex changing rooms. I make sure I don't let her touch anything because the place is unhygenic as fück. I make her stand on my shoes and strip her off her formal clothes and change her into her one piece swim suit. She wakes up during the process and helps me change her and then wears the sandals I brought for her.
I lightly spank her perky áss making her squeak and tell her to wear her sarong, as I change into my shorts and wife beater.
Once changed, I put our clothes back into the packet and give it Gordon who's waiting a few steps away from the changing area.
We walk towards the sea and take lots of pictures and enjoy the waters, eating her favourite chilly cheese fries and burgers.
I smile as we get into the car after many hours, Honey is the happiest with the little things in life.
She's such a simple and straightforward person, that she doesn't understand anything crooked. I hold her close to me as I fish out my jacket from the backseat and cover her up as she snuggles on my lap.
"Brandon?" she asks quietly looking out of the window, her head under my chin, as Gordon drives off the beach.
"Yes baby?" I kiss her head.
"I want a puppy." she yawns and I put the buttons of the blazer to fully cover her up and smile. She just proved my point.
"Done."
Hey guys!!
Thank you for your votes and comments. I love reading what you feel about my chapters :)
So I had to rush a bit with this chapter and do her placements and everything in the same chapter because my sister told me to get to the dark part already or else she would disown me.
:(
Anywhoo :3
