Draco Zet Cole
Amber Choisi-une Adi
------
Amber can hear her heart pounding as she exit the airport, and
saw her name on one of the placards that was held up by an
old chauffer.
"Good to see you again Lady."
"Mr. Hendricks no need formalities please I'm still the same
Amber that you knew."
"I do apologized, but I am already not allowed to call you by
that name." Mr. Hendricks replied.
Amber clench her fist as she thinks who said that Mr. Hendricks
is not allowed to call her by name like before.
Mr. Hendricks carried her luggage to the back compartment
and opened the door for her.
While on the road, Amber noticed a lot of changes with the city
that she stayed with for the pat 18 years before she left abroad
to follow her dreams.
"Dreams eh.... Why do you still need to have a dream! You have
a destiny that has been set-up for you, you do not need to
work, until you grow old! That is why I have been working hard
to assure your future if I will be gone!" The exact words that
his father stated furiously after he heard her decision that she
wants to go abroad to follow her dreams.
"That is the main point dad, I haven't proved anything to
myself. All I did was depend on you! I wanted to make a name
of my own, and not because I am your daughter!" She stated
countering her fathers reaction.
"Amber, you will be the next Lady, following my steps there is
no need to prove anything, nobody will question your authority
from the day you were born royal blood has been on your
veins so no one has the right to ever question you." Her dad,
lowered his voice, knowing how she will be reacting if the
converstion will end badly.
Since the beginning of time, what ever Amber wants she gets,
no questions asked, that is how powerful his father was and
that was how her father taught her. Likely a spoil brat as most
of the student of the elite school where she study stated. She
may not be dirictly for the throne but even the King himself is
afraid and respect their bloodline.
"We are here Lady." Said Mr. Hendricks and he pulled up to an
European 3 floored mansion that its grandeur is beyond
compared.
"Seems like nothing has changed."
Amber stated.
Mr. Hendricks open the door.
"The Duke is waiting for you in his chambers." Mr. Hendricks
stated.
As soon as she step on the first stair of the grand mansion.
Memories flashed back to her.
A tears fell from her eyes. She wipe it off. As her father always
tells her do not ever show anyone your weakness.
Heads up she went to the doors as soon as she reach the top
stair the doors automatically opened, and she saw all the
servants lined up and bowing.
She walked inside the redcarpeted floor as she went up straight
to the "Y" shaped stairs.
In front of a while door designed with pure gold metallic and
amber. She tooked a deep breath and knock on the door.
"Come in" Hearing the voice painted a smile on her face, it has
been a long time since she heard that very same voice.
She opened the door and saw a man, on the swivel chair facing
the fireplace.
"How have you been? " And the man on the chair faced her.
In the low light she could see the tears that's on the brink of
falling.
" I have never been better"
She replied with tears she came close to her father as his father
stood up and meet her with a hug so tight.
"Does it need for you to forget me the past three years?" Stated
by his Father.
"I'm sorry I was so selfish and I too busy. But now I'm back I
will not leave again." She replied.
"That is good to hear princess, now let's talk." Her father stated
and with a snap of his fingers the swivel chairs disappeared
and bean bags appeared in front of the fireplace now with
flames on the wood blazing hard.
Amber sit on one of the bean bag while her father sit on the
other side.
And they begin to talk about what happened to her the past 3
years, and they laugh as if nothing happens.
Again with a snap of his fingers fruits on a plater apeared in
front of them.
She smiled as the sight of the fruits. "Your favorites" Her father
stated. After an hour they heard a knock on the door. Mr.
Hendricks went in with an envelope and his father accepted it.
"Princess, I know you just arrived but I need to take care of
this, I will visit you on your room as soon as I am done." Her
father smiled sadly at her. But she knew that his father wanted
to spend the day with her but as always he has responsibilities
that he needs attend to.
She nod her head, and went to her room. The same as she left
it. All white. She lay down on her bed and closed her eyes.
She was half awake when she heard his father's voice he was
sitting on her bed.
"It is nice to see you again sleeping very near to me." His father
stated with a smile on his face.
"How did it go dad?" She asked him with a wary looked.
"It went alright." He replied
"Hmmm... That is good to hear."
Then she close her eyes again.....
She woke up and notice that it was already dark outside.
She went to her dresser to pick clothes she can changed to. It
was 7pm, 30mins before dinner. She chose a pink floral blouse
and a pink 5 inches hills. It has been a long time since she wore
her own stuff. When she was abroad she can not even by
luxuriouss clothes, since her job can support only her rent and
food.
She went downstairs she notice that there where new servants
on the house. Mrs. Hendricks smiled at her.
"I am happy that you are back Lady."
"Me too, seems like there are some changes with the mansion
and also policies." She stated.
Mrs. Hendricks nodded, and guided her to the dinning area.
As Mrs. Hendricks pulled the chair for her, her father was also
on his way towards her.
"Seems you had a great sleep." Her father stated.
"Yes I did." She answered with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Hendricks clapped her hands, and the servants placed the
food.
After the great meal that they shared they are already in the
balcony having a tea. Just like the old times.
"Are you ready to take your position princess?" His father
asked.
"Yes, but I am afraid I will disappoint you agian father." Amber
lowered her head facing the shiny floor.
Her father hold her chin and pul her head up.
"Never in your existence that you have ever disappointed me
or your Mother we are very poud of you. Remember that." His
father stated.
"By tomorrow you will come with me. You know the basics
right? " His father added with a smile.
"Yes I do." She answered.
The next day she is standing facing a 23 Floor Building in the
middle of the city solely owned by them. No BOARD OF
DIRECTORS. Only THEM alone.
" She hold on his fathers elbows ang went in to the building the
guards and all of the staff that they meet bowed and greeted
them as they passed by.
Upon entering an elevator that is for them alone. Amber presed
on the the penthouse symbol on the elevator options.
Upon arrival in the penthouse.
There was a guy who was sitting on the visitor couch.
"Goodmorning Sir, goodmorning Lady good to see you again"
Said her father's secretary with a smile.
"Me too Frey." Amber answered.
Her father went straight to the office as she and the secretary
did.
Her father was already sitting on his desk. waiting for the
folders that his scretary was holding.
"Here are the papers that urgently needs your atterntion." Said
Frey. His father nodded.
"By the way Sir, Mr. Cole is outside and he wants to speak to
you." Frey continued.
"Ok let him in, and make a tea for two." Said his father.
His secretary nodded and went out the office. Amber sit on one
of the guest chairs. They heard a knock on the door and the
guy who was sitting on the couch outside went in. Tall likely
aroud 6'7 and muscular build, basing on what she can see.
"Good morning sir." Stated the guy with a deep voice.
"Take a sit. Mr?"
"Draco Cole." Stated the guy. His father who was checking on
the folders looked up to the guy.
Mr. Cole sit infront of his father's desk.
It was like his father was examining the guy.
"It has been a long time since I met a Cole. So how may I assist
you?" His father stated.
"I would like to speak to you privately." Throwing a look at
Amber.
Amber was psst.... who is he to dismissed her the daughter of
the company that he is speaking too!
"Excuse me!!!" Amber glared at the guy.
"Shhh Amber" His father smile.
"Mr. Cole I would like to introduce to you, my daughter and
future owner of the company that you are standing right now,
Amber Choisi-une Adi. What ever you need to say to me you
can speak it, specially this is regarding her future." His father
stated.
Amber was puzzles by his father stated specially this is
regarding her future? What did he mean?
"My brother is already gone. He died to months ago." Mr. Cole
stated.
"Im sorry to hear your lost." His father stated.
"Since he is gone can the deal be broken." Mr. Cole continued.
His father laugh. Mr. Cole was staring intently at his Dad.
"Do you think Mr. Cole that is how easy it is to end the deal, and
do you know what are the consequences that it will bring to
your Clan, in case you cut the deal?" Amber's stated to his
Father.
" I do not think, money will be a problem Mr. Adi, you know well
how well off our family is, and also the deal was done a very
long time ago before you or your father even exist." Mr. Cole
stated.
Amber's Father clench his fist, and had a Smirk on his face.
"Mr. Cole do you think that is how easy it is even if your family
give all your wealth till the last drop, it will not stop the curse of
your family. The curse do not need millions it needs Blood, to
the last bloodline that you have it will devour. Even how tiny bit
that person has from your family they will die. That is the
payment the curse is asking." Amber's father smiled devilishly,
that bought goosebumps to Amber. She has never had saw his
father acted this way.
"That is impossible." Mr. Cole stated as he stood up and was
going out the door.
"Do you wonder Mr. Cole why you have an X marked on your
heart." Her father stated and he look down one of the folders.
Mr. Cole stopped, and look back to her father.
"Never asked why t hurts evertime the moon shines it 's
brightest or why you wanted to kill someone on that same day?
And why your family is on top of what you do?" Her father
continued.
Mr. Cole went back to his chair.
"Here, I never provide people information about previous deals
but since you think it is easy for "YOU" to handle. Check on it,
and call me on how do we proceed." Then her father pull out a
black folder and give it to Mr. Cole.
"You may now step out of my office." Her father dismissed Mr.
Cole.
Mr. Cole took the foder and went out the office.
As soon as the door close, he call her.
"Princess, why are you sitting there? Did you notice that there
is another chair beside me? I need you to sit next to me. And I
know you might be terrified of what happened earlier I just
want for that person to know who he is talking too." His Father
explained.
"Not a problem Dad."
She sit on the chair.
"Princess, you can now ask me your question, or do you want
me to read out to you." Her Father asked.
"What was he?" He was referring to Mr. Cole.
"Princess the right question is who was they before you and I
even exist." He said with a smile on his lips
"Ok, who was they." She asked.
His father snap his fingers and all that is around changed and
was brought to his father's chamber. There sitted an Middle age
guy whose clothes was torn and fresh blood was all over him.
"Sir, I beg of you , I do not want this to continue, I want this
blood thirsty beast inside me be kept. I thought I can control it,
but over the past 3 yrs it kept stronger. That I myself do not
remember what happened when it has been un leash."
The guy stated.
Amber saw the person on the other chair. It was his Great great
Grandfather Ambrose Adi.
"I do understand what you wanted but I do not know if your
willing to take the risk for the payment of your request."
Answered by Mr. Adi.
"How much do you want I am willing to pay you."
Said the guy.
"No money, is enough to pay for your request." Mr. Adi stated.
"Then I am willing to take all the risk." The guy answered
desperately.
" Here, read it and take it to heart that what ever it is that is
written will be granted and never even on of this should not be followed." Stated by Mr. Adi.
The guy took it, and with out second thought he took his knife
and put an X mark on his chest and signed it using his owned
blood.
"Your request has been granted the beast will not annoy you
forever, as long as your decendants will follow the deal but if
not, then the beast will definitely devour your bloodline that
even a single drop of your blood will not be traced."
Mr. Adi stated.
She heard a snap again and she was back to the office.
"Now do you know what they are?" Her father asked.
"Werewolves." She answered. His father nodded.
"The day he went to office was the time that he killed his wife,
who was trying to stop him from killing his son." Her father
said.
"Your Great great grandfather Ambrose Adi, knew that no girl
will be born to our bloodline until my time that is why he
clearly stated on the deal that it should be around this time that
you need to be wed off to their youngest decendant."
Her father added calmly.
"What!!!" She freak out for crying out loud she just arrived
yesterday just came to the office for her 1st day then now to be
Wed off!
"Relax, princess we do not want the place to be destroyed
again." Mr. Adi, said to her calmly.
"Dad, I just arrived, was it the reason why even if how I tried to
get away from this part of the world my heart and brain even
my body will not follow." She asked him
"Yes, a deal is a deal you know how strong it is you felt it." She
nodded.
Of course she felt it, as the next owner of the company she was
way stronger that anyone else that exist. Let us say there family
is not normal, but they are beyond compared that is why even
the strongest family is afraid of them because of Bloodline.
Adi, are merely of every mythical creatures that you know that
is why they are the strongest. The 1st ADI was a the son of
