The man sitting on the chair stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. He spoke in a cold voice, "Ms. CEO, take a seat we have lots to talk about."
Victoria woke up from her daze. She spat at her secretary, "Leave us."
Then she walked up to a chair and sat down. The chair she selected was the one this man used just now. She was sure of his identity, it was Bones, who had come here. Despite the emotional tornado brewing in her heart she did not want to allow him to ride wildly over her head. She spoke in a cold voice, "Speak."
Bones turned to face her and with a provocative look, he said, "Are you aware that the VLAD group is just being managed by your family?"
Victoria raised her eyebrow, she snorted, "Do you think you are very funny?"
Bones chuckled and said while shaking his head, "You think too much. Read the documents on the table. You will know what actually is funny."
The princess snorted and picked up the file placed on the table. Inside the file were a set of documents. Dating back from 1882 to the current 2034. All the documents said one thing only, that the Vlad group belonged to a party A, Alucard Tepes, is to be managed by Oleksiy Vlad. The only difference was the witness of the Justice Tribunal.
Yes, these documents were notarized by the Justice Tribunal of Vampires. Victoria was shocked, she did not dare to believe it. Her body trembled with the thought of losing what she created. She glanced at Bones who looked at her with a smile on his face. She gazed him in the eyes with a pleading emotion.
She blinked and stabilized her heart. She asked, "This says, Alucard Tepes, what does that have to do with you? Willian Smith."
This time, it was her turn to shock bones, someone calling him with his real name, how long has it been since somebody called him with that name. He did not like people to call him by his real name. His eyes turned blue in rage.
He spoke coldly, "Do not call my name. You are not worthy."
Victoria spoke with a smile, "Why? I cannot even use your name but you can use my company? This is not fair, Wi..." before she could even finish speaking, her throat was clasped in Bones' icy grip. She was already dangling in the air. The man in front of her was 2 meters tall while she was 1.8 meters tall.
Despite this, she had a smile on her face, with her eyes locked to his. Bones said, "Do not make me kill you, pureblood. At least, not before I kill your father. Or should I kill you and then let him attack me so that I can kill him." he tilted his head to the side, with a maniacal smile on his face.
Victoria was good at one thing, observing people. She saw a flash of pain when Bones mentioned her father. She wanted to speak but the pressure was too much. She kicked her leg straight at his chest. Caught off guard Bones was attacked. He took two steps back and had to release his grip on Victoria's neck.
He raised his eyebrow before he could say anything. The girl spoke, "I know why you hate my father. But I did not do anything wrong to you or anyone who did not deserve it. Why do force me like this? I have worked very hard for this company and you just want to take it away?" her questioning tone and angry eyes made Bones freeze in his spot.
He raised his hand slightly but then stopped, he walked to the table and picked up the file. Then he left silently, with no words spoken, yet his eyes said it all. He seemed to have seen someone else in Victoria.
The princess did not stop him as well. She was in pain from the other person's grip around her neck. Bones left her with a bruise while she left him with a memory from his past. She gazed at his vacating back, it was not as straight as yesterday when he gave her brother a beating. She felt a strong sense of pain in her heart.
She decided to find out about him from the justice Tribunal. Regardless of what her father may think.
...
Bones walked out of the office and walked on the streets with a blank gaze. The gloomy aura from him was strong enough to repel the passers-by. In his mind, a scene from his childhood was playing like a movie scene.
...
A young boy around 8-9 years of age sat on the couch reading a delipidated book. This was something his mother bought for him when she went out to work. Vika used to do household chores in some rich household in the town. At this moment she was preparing food for her son in the adjoining kitchen. Suddenly the door was knocked.
Vika's voice rang out from the kitchen, "Willian, check the door, sweetheart."
The young boy smiled and replied, "Aye, Mum." and he walked up to the door. He opened the door and saw a handsome man standing outside, gazing at him warmly. He asked, "Who are you, sir?"
The man was about to reply when Vika walked out of the kitchen. She dropped the dishes in her hand when her gaze landed on the handsome man on the door. She asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
The man spoke with some guilt in his voice, "Vika, I came to take you back with me. I know th..." his words were not finished but Vika started laughing as tears dropped from her eyes.
The young boy wanted to walk to her when his mother said, "Alucard, I loved you a lot, yet you left me alone with our child. Now that he is all grown you want to take him away? I do not know why you left me, but I want you to know that I would have faced anything by your side. You even hid your identity from me? My child is my child and I have nourished him with my own efforts, you come back all of a sudden and want me to hand him to you?" her eyes, which used to be brimming with love were filled with hatred. The questions she asked, all shook Alucard.
He spoke in a low voice, "I just wanted to take you back as my wife, but since you do not want to then I will leave. Keep the child with you, Vika." his gaze was filled with pain and with those words he left.
Willian walked up to his crying mother and wiped her tears. He asked, "I will never leave you, mum. Please do not cry." watching his mother cry the young boy was also upset. He did not understand much but it was obvious that the handsome man at the door was his father, who abandoned him and his mother before he was born. Today he made his mother cry, this sowed the seed of hatred for him inside Willian's heart.
...
Bones had already walked to his home while he was lost in his thoughts, a loud honk on the street woke him up from his daze. He mumbled, "Is it just me or are they similar?"
