Billionaire's Master and Secretary

Explanation

Arion

"So I believe you have questions. " Chris said.

"Okay how about start with, why did you save me?" I asked Charlie.

"We have a common enemy. " she simply answered.

"What?"

She took a deep breath and looked at her fingers in the table.

"Let me tell you a story first. "

"There was once a young sorceress. A very powerful sorceress. She met a young man. A vampire actually. They fell in love and got married. But then the vampire became a power hungry vampire. He wants all the power. He was interested in his wife's grimoire. The grimoire contains all the power and knowledge a sorceress can ever have, or even anyone that has the ability to wield such power. The sorceress found out her husband's plan. So when her vampire husband was out to hunt, she took the grimoire and disappeared without a trace. When the vampire found out that his wife was gone, he was furious. He vowed that he will find her. " she paused.

"When the sorceress is in a safe place with her guild, she found out that she was pregnant. That her spell indeed worked on her husband. A spell that made her husband, human enough to give her a child. Turned vampires cannot bear children, for their bodies were no longer alive. When she gave birth to her daughter, the sorceress' mother and guild mistress whom a seer foreseen that her grandchildren will be powerful individuals. "

"Two years later, the vampire found his wife. They had an argument. He raped her and almost killed her. Good thing the guild warriors arrived and saved her. The sorceress soon found out that she was pregnant again. So they went to hiding again, and gave birth to a baby boy. The guild mistress had another vision. A vision of the guild and her daughter's impending death. And the vampire might get hold of the grimoire. So she did what she had to do. She placed all the grimoire's contents in her grandchildren. Making them a living grimoire, and a very powerful mage. "

"Three years later, the guild was slaughtered by a coven of vampires. A lot was killed, including the guild mistress and her daughter, who died in the hands of her own husband. He was furious that he didn't find the grimoire, so he left along with his coven of vampires. Little did he know, the boy and girl saw everything? They saw how their mother died, as well as everyone else. In their young minds, they vowed that they will avenge their mother, grandmother and guild. With the remaining members of their guild, they left and went into hiding and live among humans. " she said.

"As years passed by, they trained on how to fight, use weapons and use the knowledge of the grimoire. They were very powerful at a very young age, and it earned them the title of guild masters. When the eldest sibling turned sixteen, she ascended. The other half of who she is awakened. She became a vampire. She fed for the first time. She became even more powerful than she already was. It happened again when her brother turned sixteen. They continued to train to be stronger and control their inner demon, their thirst and hunger. They planned that one day; the killer of their family will pay with his life. That their vampire father will die. " Chris continued.

I was moved by the story. Then I realized something.

"The siblings in the story. It was the two of you. "

Chris stood up and walked towards his sister placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Yes. So you understand where we're coming from. "He said.

"I guess. But what does that got to do with me?" I asked.

"I told you we have a common enemy. " Charlie said.

"I don't understand. Your enemy is your father, while mine is my ex-girlfriend and-" Charlie cut me off.

"Damon Stone."

I looked at her.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"We've been watching you Arion Knight for quite some time. One of the reasons is that we both have the same enemy. "Chris said.

"You know I don't understand you two. What does your father got to do with me or what does Damon got to do with you two?" I asked them getting a bit frustrated.

"Everything. " Charlie said.

"Lord Arnaldus Gervais is our father's real name. As time went by, he took on several names. Bartimus Kraft, Giuseppe Androv, Ivan Isakov, and his latest name for these past decades..." Chris paused.

"Damon Stone. " Charlie continued.

I was silent. What?

"Damon is your father? You must be mistaken. Damon is just about my age. We've been enemies since high school. " I reasoned with them.

"One thing that the novels and movies got right about vampires, is that vampires never gets old. They stayed the way they looked the moment they were turned. Damon Stone is almost over 2000 years old. It’s just his gift was to modify his appearance. " Chris explained.

Chris went over his computer and showed me some pictures in the wide screen. They were photos and portraits of one single person. It was Damon. It sure as hell that it was him despite the different wardrobe and hairstyles. One photo caught my eye. I think it was taken in mid-70's. It is Damon, with a girl in his arms. And that girl is no other than Nicole.

I stood up and looked closer to the pictures. I pointed towards the particular photo and looked at them.

"Yes. That's your ex-slut of a girlfriend and secretary. " Charlie sneered. Chris and I looked at her.

"What? We go way back. She's a slut then, she's a slut now. I hate her. " Charlie said rolling her eyes.

"Is this real? For real? Oh gosh! I f****d an old woman!" I exclaimed.

Charlie stood up and in a blink of an eye, she held me by my throat.

"Do you have a problem with old people?!" She growled with her eyes turned violet.

I was speechless. I just shook my head. She dropped me on the floor gasping for air.

"It’s not our fault you let your d**k think before your pathetic brain. " she growled again and then she turned around and disappeared.

I was stunned.

"Wow. Just wow. Your sister looked hot when she's angry with me. " I said looking at the empty space. Chris chuckled and helped me up.

"Forgive my sister. She's really sensitive when it comes to Nicole and the age thing. " he said.

I looked at him.

"What's her deal with Nicole. "

"She first met Nicole during the early 70's. Charlie like a boy that time. He's a hippie but this slut, I mean Nicole, seduced the boy and f****d him. Charlie caught them. She was heartbroken. " he paused.

"She was old enough to be compared to the pyramids of Egypt but she rarely let a guy kiss her if she doesn't like him. " he paused.

"It was until the night you were turned. " he added.

I snapped my head towards

"What do you mean?"

"On your first night here, you were thrashing in your sleep. When Charlie came to hold you down... Ugh you kind of kissed her, passionately. " he said grinning like a Cheshire cat.

My eyes widened.

"You're shitting me right?" I asked.

"No. It’s true. She was shocked and speechless. "

I face palmed myself and took a seat in one of the chairs.

"I'm so dead. She's going to kill me. "

"Don't be too melodramatic. She's not that ruthless. She won't kill you; you're too precious to her. " he said taking a seat across mine.

Arion

"Since my sister left us, it’s my job to explain to you further. " he said And I nodded.

"Okay, let's say that I believe that Damon is your dad. He had me killed. He's our common enemy. Why me? Why not those who are more capable of fighting him. ?" I asked.

Chris leaned back in his chair.

"We've been watching you since you were born. As creepy as it sounds, yeah we did that. Especially Charlie. She often spends the night watching you sleep when you were a cute baby. I don't know why, but she does. She just stopped when you became a horny teenager. " he explained.

"Wow that's sweet of her. "

"Yeah she is. Do you know why we chose you?" He asked.

I raised my eyebrow at him.

"I've been asking you that for a while now. " I said with a scowl.

He chuckled and snapped his fingers.

The wide screen showed different images. It was a family crest. Something inside me telling that its familiar, but I'm not sure where I've seen it before.

"What is that?"

Chris snapped his fingers again and it showed another image. It was a portrait of a group of people holding different kinds if weapons. They all wear the same family crest.

"They are the Brimstone Hunters. "

"Hunters?"

"They are the fiercest vampire hunters during our earlier years. " Chris said.

He stood up and went to a wall and placed his hand in a scanner. Then the wall pushed back and opened. It leads to another room. He motioned for me to follow him, and I did.

The room was huge. It looks like a gym. It has gym equipment, mats, punching bags, and benches. On the other side of the room, the walls were shelves that have different kinds of weapons. From guns, to swords, daggers, crossbows, scythe, and those that I don't have any idea of what it’s called. The shelves beside it, contains a wardrobe hangers with leather jackets, bullet proof vests, boots, trousers and helmets.

'WOW' that all I can say.

"Those weapons were once belonged to the Brimstone Hunters. The guns and other newer weapons were the ones we collected. " Chris explained.

"Uhm what does those people got to do with me?" I asked not taking my eyes away from the weapons.

"Well Mr. Knight, it seems your bloodline came from the bloodline if those fierce vampire hunter." He said.

I chuckled.

"Me? A hunter? Yeah right. " I scoffed.

He smiled and said.

"We've been alive for over a millennium. Of course we’re sure. That's the reason we were watching over you. Your bloodline has the kind of ability that when it comes to killing vampires, it comes natural. Like you are in auto pilot. And a seer once told us that the last Brimstone will put a end to our father's evil reign. It’s just so happens that our daddy dearest took you for an unfair competition. That eventually led to your death. " he explained.

"Thanks for reminding. "

"Don't mention it dude. " chris said smiling.

"Dude I was being sarcastic. " I told him.

"Oh. "

"So what now?"

"Since you accepted our help that night, you already promised to help us. You are now bonded to Charlie as her fledgling. "

I was silent. I've been thinking the pros and cons of joining their crusade. We both want revenge on the same person. But what if we fail?

"No we won't. " he said.

I looked at him. How did he? Did I say that out loud?

"No you do not. I just have this ability or rather my vampire gift. A strong ability to read minds despite the walls you build around them. Don't worry I don't usually pry in people's minds. Just when necessary. "

My mouth formed an 'O'.

"Do I get special powers too?" I asked.

"Yeah. It'll come. You just need to train yourself. I I'll also cast you a spell that will give you the ability to teleport. So what's your decision?"

This is it. No more turning back. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

"I'm in. "

Chris grinned and literally bounces up and down like a kid.

"You're like a kid you know. "

"It happens when you didn't have a proper childhood. " he said, his voice laced with sadness.

"What should I do now?" I asked.

"Our enemies thought you're dead. So it'll be much better if you take a leave from your company and public. We need to hide you from their eyes. I'm sure your executive assistant and new secretary can ran the company for a while. You need to train with me. You're a newborn; you still have that pent up energy, severe blood thirst and hazy mind. Your hunter blood helped you to tone it down a little. Still your training will help you, control everything and use it wisely. Soon enough, everything will come out as normal to you. "Chris told me.

"I’m just curious. Does Damon ever found out about you two? “I asked.

"Nope. Our mother and grandmother hid us well. They casted a protective spell that hid our scent and spiritual energy from any other supernatural creatures. For them, we are just some pathetic, useless humans. We need to be careful coz the moment he found out we are his children, he'll use us for his evil deeds. What more if he found out that we are the grimoire. " he said.

"It sounds like apocalypse to me. "

"You bet. So are we good with the arrangements?" He asked.

"Yeah I guess. "

"Good. I'm sure it'll be a less thing for Charlie to think and worry. "

I looked at him.

"You love your sister very much huh. "

"Of course. And I know you love your sister too. "He said.

I smiled at him and patted his back.

"Let's plan this training camp of yours. " I said.

*O*
