Back at home, Selene and Nikita were still fast asleep. Helene was the only awake, except the maids that were busy cleaning up the mansion.

Helene placed herself in a white singlet and a pair of black pants that stretched down to her kneecap. Her feet dressed with a pair of two red sneakers. Her golden eyeballs remained the same as usual, rivaling sunrise.

From the looks it was like she had just return from a jug. Helene took a bottle of mineral from the icy refrigerator and gulped down the cold liquid down her dry throat.

She stopped, satisfied. She placed the empty bottled on top of the refrigerator and exhaled deep breath, feeling refreshed and ready for the day.

Helene went back up to her room to get change and return shortly after in a green flowery gown. The dining was set. Delicious arrays of meal were decorated round the dinning for them Daniels.

Selene haven't yet woken up and there was no sign of Nikita. Normally, Nikita was up and doing, going around with ear buds, having ear drums banged by the song— Lean On By Major Lazer and DJ Snake FT MØ, but she wasn't around to that.

Helene cared less, she sat down like she was the queen of the mansion, all the servants were at her Beck and call. Helping her with preparing her plate. Meanwhile, someone familiars steps into dinning.

Mr. Daniels. The overworked fellow managed to drag himself to the dinning to feel up his empty stomach with the tempting meals that were awaiting his watery mouth.

Helene only took a plate that entailed a small portion of rice and sweet curry, labelled with fried chicken. It might look huge in many eyes but in truth, it was small compare the massive jumbo Mr. Daniels packed.

Mr. Daniels soon noticed the empty sits. "Where's your mother? ", his hoarse voice shot at Helene. "As well as Nikita? "

He didn't ask of Erica, what a man, Helene on the other hand was aware she wasn't around but no one else was and she had left very early in the morning.

Helene in return didn't respond as she took a spoon of her breakfast. Ignoring him completely.

Mr. Daniel raised a brow and banged the dinning. Helene then stopped when she felt the quake that pulsated the dinning table. Helene vexed, dropping her spoon with disinterest in the food.

"Dear... I am sorry. ", Mr. Daniels noticed the fury that was stacking upon one another within her. "I was referring to the maids...not you. ", he lied, trying not to anger her any further. "Let have our breakfast shall we?"

Meanwhile —Jackson Street: Jeffery's House.

"Your dad ...Erica am gonna ask you one more time---"

"I Am okay. ", Erica responded in an utmost manner. "You don't know my dad the way I do."

"I can't interrogate him for this. ", Jeffrey hesitated.

"I never said you should. "

Jeffrey ignored and brought his car keys out. "Look, we will talk later. For now I have gotta go."

"So you're just gonna leave me hanging? bravo.", she clapped her hands.

Jeffrey hopped right in and inserted his keys. "...When am done with my job I will inform you."

JEFFREY'S POV

I don't know if leaving her there without appropriate response was a good idea. I had to leave urgently, it wasn't my call to abandon her just like that.

The part of Erica saying Helene was her mother's lookalike gave me goosebumps. I tried not to believe her since I have seen Helene on different occasion.

But never have I mistaken the beauty for Erica's mom; Mrs. Dorothy Daniels.

Yes, Mrs. Daniels died on the 25th of June, 2022. Her death was more of a disappearance, she had vanished for a week then she was later found in the dark woods of the south coast.

Legends says demons, female demons— Succubus. Haunts this area and have been haunting it for eons. It was one of the major reason the place was demolished for a new foundation for civilians.

Some never returns whenever the wander into it but this time around, I and my team were able raid the place after a getting a short footage that displays Mrs. Dorothy entering the dark woods.

We were lucky, non of us were lust. But unfortunately, Mrs. Dorothy was already dead.

There was no cut or anything that would be used to claim she was attacked by an wild animal.

Mrs. Dorothy was just... cold, bloody... cold.

Mr. Dorothy never even showed interest in the case. Even when we opened the case, Mr. Dorothy ordered for it shut down. We had no evidence to blame anyone, so we closed the case and moved on with our lives.

Maybe everyone did, but I didn't.

I never stopped, I was secretly on an undercover mission to find out the real incident behind the death of Erica's mom. And worse, I was so after a petty cyber criminal who had been draining banks dry with no clues left behind.

The frustration...

The pain...

Of taking everything on my shoulders, had no bounds.

I studied demonology for some time while I was away. My head ached when I went through the books, demons are really dangerous and corroding, most especially ... the sex demons. They are the worst.

The way these creatures portrays their selves just for the sake of pleasing their lust for sex. The demons would invade the dream of those who hungers for sexual pleasure and in return, loose their soul to them.

I figured that the one posing as Erica's stepsister and at the same time her death mother would be non other than ...a succubus that has been in front of her along. Arrgh! I have to warn Erica but not now, she doesn't look like she's danger and I am still doubting but what could be there to doubt about?

It seems clear ...doesn't it?
