Chapter 87

Jacques slumped in his chair, his eyes fixed on the mansion across the street. He'd been cooped up in this shithole apartment for days, watching this bastard's place like a hawk. The monotony was driving him insane.

He scratched his stubbled chin, muttering to himself, "Fucking hell, how long is this gonna take?"

The opulent mansion stood there, mocking him with its grandeur. It wasn't just big; it was a goddamn monument to excess. Jacques had seen billionaire cribs on holovids before, but this? This was next-level rich.

"What's your game?" he mumbled, reaching for a stale sandwich. "Vampire sugar daddy?"

The thought made him snort. Sure, being undead for centuries probably helped pad the bank account. Plenty of time for investments, or maybe some good old-fashioned robbery and murder. Who gave a shit, really?
