Jessica Cruz walked the hall of Redmine's Restaurant, her red long fitted gown complimenting her skin and blue sea eyes, she walked straight to the reserved area and immediately a waiter walked towards her. "Madam, are you here on a reservation" she asked and Jess nodded. "Am here for Damien Quinn" she said and the waiter nodded. "Come with me, madam" he led her to a reserved area, "here madam" he led her in and left her there. She walked in shaking a bit, "Hi, you're Damien Quinn right" she tried tried to get him off his phone and it worked, he dropped his phone and looked up. "Right, Jessica Cruz right" he said to her and she froze at him, lost in his brown eyes which complemented his reddish hair, she stood fixed her heart beating.
He didn't bother to give her a seat, but she didn't care, she was really lost in his handsomeness.
"Are you going to order" the waiter came in asking as he put two cups of milk on their table, she was about to answer but Damien interrupted. "No, you can come back later" he said and the waiter bowed leaving. "You're not going to order" Jess asked. "No, I want to make this quick" he said and Jess looked at him puzzled. "What's that supposed to mean" she cocked her head and Damien smirked. "Am sure my grandpa told you I was rich, that's why you came right?" He didn't even let her reply. "I pay you double, name your price" he said and she was shocked. "Am sorry, what do you take me for" she asked and he crossed his leg. "Am not used to lying Jessica, I know you're a gold digger, but am not gonna complain, name your price, I'll give it to you, you just have to ake sure I never see you again" he was speaking with authority which made Jess pissed. "how can he say such trash with so much authority" she said in her mind, she waited for him to apologize but he didn't, she was getting more than pissed. "You think am a gold digger?" She asked but he shook his head, "I know you're a gold digger" he replied her and that got her mad, she reached for the milk on the table and poured it on his perfect styled hair, "I don't need your money, but am going to make sure I relate to your grandpa, I wonder how he successfully trained a lunatic" she said and stood up to leave but paused, "also I pray never to cross path with you again" she stood up finally and bounced out. "What a lunatic" she hissed. Meanwhile, Damien grabbed a napkin and dabbed his hair, he smiled recalling that Jessica had called him a lunatic without missing a beat, his smiled widen as he heard her ask herself from afar off, "I wonder how he turned out like this"
10 years ago
10 year old Damien sat in from of his mom having breakfast, "mom, what's this" he was shocked as it tasted like a new recipe. " It human blood" she said like it didn't matter, but Damien paused. "mom!!, I told you not to give me that" he complained as he hated the thought of killing a human just so he could feed. "You're 10 now Damien, you should be out there hunting humans, not pitying them, their lowly creatures who can't even..." She couldn't complete her sentence as she started coughing which was weird for vampires. "Mom, are you okay" Damien ran to her side only to notice that her eyes had changed from red to scarlet and at that moment he knew her heart had been corrupted. "Dami, you have to kill me" she voiced but Damien shook his head. "I can't kill mom, and even if I can, I won't kill you" he was determined. "There has to be another way" he asked but she shook her head, "there's no other way Dami, if you don't kill me, I'll become corrupted and kill you, I don't want to kill you, so please Dami, do it..." She said followed by a loud scream. "Dami, do it" she said weakly as her eyes turn scarlet completely. She stood up looking at Dami who she no longer saw as her son, she hit him hard on the floor and he quickly teleported to her room, a special power he had as a result of being the descendant of an ancient vampire. He entered her room and reached for her silver bullet gun, the only weapon that can kill a corrupted vampire, just then she walked through the door, Dami stared at his mom one last time and shot her before she could get close to him, as her body fell, he quickly went beside her body, "mom!!!" He was so furious he walked into the kitchen. "Who served mom breakfast" he asked the human servants and they quickly pointed out the fragile girl, he went close to her, "you gave my mom poison" he was too angry to even hear what she got to say, he grabbed her by the neck, even if he was a ten year old, he was strong and was able to lift her up. "You dare kill my mom" he yelled.
"Young master Quinn" Damien was awakened by the waiter giving him the bill. He collected it, shook his head and smiled. "I finally got to smile" he couldn't remember the last time he smiled but his smile was replaced quickly by a smirk.
