(Fabian’s POV)
"You know all eyes are on this event, and you are well aware of the importance it holds. The guests are all prominent figures. So, make sure that not a single mistake happens today. I won’t tolerate any of it," Grandfather gave me final instructions.
Without his mentioning, I am already aware that today’s seminar held great essence. There won’t be just business figures and luminaries that would be in attendance, but the Vampire Clan’s distinct personalities would be making their presence as well. Some of them are constantly after the grandfather’s head’s position, trying to bring him somehow down, and would use even a single, minor slip up to escalate even the tiniest of matters. It was their motto to make a mountain out of a molehill.
I may not like the Vampire Clan, but I know how tirelessly my grandfather has worked for this Clan and its people.
When I was little and had just come to the Larson Abode, the main residence. Chris Shadow, his aide, had told me about the struggles he had faced when he was the crown prince of the Blood Fangs Clan. But with his brilliant mind and natural talent for strategic intelligence, he made Blood Fangs the top Clan amongst the Vampire Community. Although there was resistance from some people, seeing how he handled matters and how ruthless he was in his approach, he gained the title of the King of Vampires.
Ever since he had taken over the crown, no one dared to challenge him. And~ .... the vampires who were going rampant, killing humans and other species for mere pleasure and satisfaction, they have gone cold feet as well. But I know, there are bad fish everywhere who could pollute the river and infect the good ones as well. And this kind of occasion was a perfect excuse to make their move and create an uproar.
"Rest assured. I have checked and reviewed everything," I spoke, each word enunciated with determination and confidence.
We were inside the CEO’s office. He was settled behind the American black walnut desk, looking every bit of his imposing and aloof self. While I remained standing, listening to his words, "Good." He leaned forward and added, "The Vampire Council members still aren’t aware of the Lycan Alphas being the guests of honor for today. They would definitely throw a fit and try something to taint today’s seminar. Keep a close eye on them. Don’t let them mess up your hard work." He looked at the time and remarked, "The seminar is about to begin shortly. You may take your leave now. I will come in just a while."
I nodded and made my exit to get to my room for a change of clothes.
I looked outside the building, and in the distance, I could see the Zenith Heights. My memory jogged down to what went down last night. How Yelena’s call startled the shit out of me? How I left everything and rushed out to get them? When I saw all of them unharmed and secured how I felt relieved. How, after seeing Myra had injured her arm, my heart ached. The feeling was as if a thousand needles were piercing my heart at the same time. How did I feel after getting Elisa’s message? I can’t even describe it in words, my true feelings.
I was scared, alarmed, and panic stricken by the fact that the Everests and Myra were in the same space. The worst of my fears had almost come true. But thankfully .... Thankfully, they didn’t get to see her.
I guess I got lucky somehow. And what happened after that, at my place, was a bonus. Honestly, I never thought to take Myra to my residence. She has always been hesitant about going there, and I wasn’t someone who would force her. But the circumstances, the vibe, everything else was different.
Thinking about our close moment, a smile crept up on my lips. Only if Myra had given me a hint, we would have~ ..."
"You~ng ... Mas~ter~, Young Master?" a voice snapped me back to reality. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Huhhh?" I looked at the person. It was Gunner as he stared at me with an unreadable expression.
Straightening my clothes, I cleared my throat and asked, "What is it?"
"You alright? Your face is flushed," he remarked. "Are you coming down with a fever?"
Touching my cheek, I replied, "Is it? It must have been because of the heat."
"But~ ..." he looked outside and then at me, but didn’t say anything else. Then he changed the topic, "Your suit is ready and guests have started to arrive. We need to be there in twenty minutes," he said.
I nodded and strode to my room. As I was about to enter the elevator, I glanced outside once again and saw the gloomy, dark sky.
After getting ready, I checked myself in the mirror. Wearing a beige hued suit, pairing it with a crisp white dress shirt and coffee colored tie, I was all set and good to go. ’The day is going to be good, and everything will turn out perfectly. Just as I have always wanted.’ I repeated in my head.
With this confidence, I reached the venue, and quite expectedly, it was bustling with chatters and engagements. The invitations were sent to all the people who held significant influence in today’s world. Top businessmen, megastars, prominent NGOs, sportspersons, you name it, and that person could be seen mingling with others.
