The perfect plan

"Huh! What I mean is, he definitely can't die like that. He was probably just under a lot of stress and fainted. After all, people don't just die like that now, do they?" I quickly covered up my tracks not that anything was out of place anyway.

Kelly nodded in understanding. He just wouldn't die like that and even if something bad happens to him, they would be blamed for it because they didn't do anything to him.

"Haha, that's true. Anyway, that aside. My heart was beating like a matching drum." she held her chest and laughed as she recalled the encounter.

We went to our next class and surprisingly, we were having the same class. Management.

The class was not boring neither was it interesting. It was just like every normal class anyone would take.

After the class, it was already 3:00 and it was time to go home which I was surprisingly happy about. I missed my bed and the homemade dishes. I didn't do well with eating outside that's why I couldn't eat at the cafeteria.

I'd rather eat cheap food at home than eat expensive food out. It was just the way I was brought up. Mare would restrict my feeding to the food we had and would always tell me that eating out was unhygienic.

Kelly was the first to leave as I had to wait for my ride back home. Her departure was quite out of place because she ran off to meet someone I didn't know and she looked like she didn't want to keep the person waiting.

I patiently waited for my ride back home and he came earlier than I had presumed.

Just, as usual, we said nothing throughout the rude until I got home. Once I was home, the first person I bumped into as I walked in was Diana.

I knew little to nothing about her so I just politely greeted and walked away. She said nothing as well but I could sense that she didn't not like my guts and honestly, I didn't give a damn.

I was tired and just wanted to sleep but as I pushed my door open, I was greeted by a warm hug.

This was unexpected and coming from this person, it was a surprise. "You came back."

I was confused by this statement. Was I supposed to stay in school? Or is there something I was missing?

"Wasnt I supposed to?" I asked back and I only got a tighter hug. He placed his head on my nape even though he was way taller than I was.

Soon, he broke the hug without giving me an answer. "How was your day at school?" he leaned by the table with his hands supporting his weight.

I was reminded about my day and dropped my bag. I sat on the bed and dropped my jacket as well. "Awesome. I was nervous at first but it turned out fine." I smiled widely then remembered an important detail.

"Oh and, that driver is the best. I don't know how he did it but I wasn't late at all. He drove fast yet carefully."

Gerard nodded as he listened carefully to everything I said. "You must be hungry. I'll have Lucy..."

He didn't finish before I cut him short. "No... I just want to sleep. I am tired, I never knew that going to school can be so stressful." I exaggerated my words just so he wouldn't press any further and it worked.

"Okay." he walked up to me and unexpectedly placed a kiss on my forehead before exiting the room leaving me stupefied.

"What was that?" I widened my eyes and sighed. "I guess payback is a bit*ch huh!"

I shook my head and slumped on my bed. I didn't even know when I fell deeply asleep.

Diana watched Gerard as he walked out of Ayla's room. She had one of her legs to the wall and her arms folded over the other.

"Do you need something?" Gerard asked immediately he spotted her. Diana dropped her leg and shook her head. "No."

Gerard began to walk away but she stopped him. "You wouldn't mind if we went out this night just like old times, would you?"

Gerard paused for a minute but then shrugged his shoulder. "It is fine by me. We'll go when the sun is completely out of sight..."

"When the sun is completely out of sight... I know" they spoke at the same time and this remained Diana of her old days with Gerard. They were inseparable and he would always do whatever she asked mostly when they go out at night.

She chuckled and walked with him but they soon parted ways because he went back to his study and she went to her room.

"Maam, I don't think that's a good idea. The master has changed drastically after miss Ayla came. Don't you think he would just become worse after this?" Lucy was worried about what Diana had planned but Diana was adamant.

"Calm down Lucy. He wouldn't suspect anything besides when she leaves, I'll be here to keep him company. He wouldn't have to worry about that human girl ever again." Diana's voice was void of any emotions and her eyes were determined. She wasn't going to just let a human girl marry her brother. He deserved better.

"But Ali is..." Lucy wanted to say that Ayla is a good person but Diana doesn't don't want to hear any more of it.

"Silence Lucy! Tell me, whose side are you on? Ayla the human or mine?" Lucy had known Diana for a very long time and had a special bond with her but Ayla was no different. Even though they have only spent a few months together, she loves her not as the mistress of the Jarek house but as a friend.

"Do not forget that it was her kind that put Gerard in this mess in the first place. It's her kind that is responsible for this curse..." Diana had lost her cool and wanted to remind Lucy of everything that they had to endure just because of the human race.

She raised her sleeves and showed Lucy her scar. "Gerard did this to me only because of those filthy races. In the end, the humans would always be the problem." Diana was trying to put all the blame on the humans not caring that her brother also had faults.

She blames the humans even for the crime that Gerard committed. According to her, Gerard has no fault and all this was only because of the humans.

Lucy kept mute even though she knew that Diana was twisting the whole story to suit her but she couldn't go against Diana because she wasn't sure what the master would think about it. In the end, everything depended on Gerard.

Soon, night came and everything was ready. Diana was dressed in brown leather trousers with a white cropped top and a grey jacket.

It was always cold at night and because they were going for a normal walk and not a hunt, she needed her jacket to keep her warm.

Gerard came out soon and he was wearing a tight black turtle neck long sleeve with black pants. It was like a norm for Gerard to dress this way. He just blends well with the dark night.

Before leaving the house, Diana messaged someone and got confirmation that they were coming.

She smiled sinisterly and walked out of the house with Gerard.
