Chapter 190: Don’t look at my girls

"She is sleeping. Everything should be alright now," Elliana said as soon as she walked out of the room she placed Misha in.

She looked at Glow who looked in low spirits, and took a deep breath.

"You do know you guys are everything to me, don’t you? Even if you had just told me something happened to Misha, regardless of where I was or what kind of situation I was stuck in, I would’ve arrived here without you guys doing something like this," her gaze shifted to Marcello, who looked away.

"Anyway, since I am already here, let’s talk business now. Glow, transfer the money to the elderly couple’s account," Elliana said, and Glow took out Elliana’s phone that they keep switched off most of the time before transferring the money.

"How long should I stay here?" Marcello asked Elliana as if she was his boss too, and Elliana pressed her lips into a thin line.

"For a vampire Duke, you act childish and quite too dependable sometimes. Don’t you know the current situation with the -"

She paused.

Right. How could she forget about the third-party presence in their room?

She looked at the guy who was watching her closely and narrowed her eyes.

"Dexter, why don’t you go and play outside?" Elliana asked, and Dexter raised his brows.

What did she say? Play outside? Does she think he is -

"Elliana, do you even hear yourself? Play outside? I am not a kid, and those creatures out there are definitely not domestic dogs that I can play with. They are werewolves for god’s sake," Dexter said, and Elliana rolled her eyes.

"Then go make some new friends. Just go out of this room. I have to discuss something personal," Elliana said.

"Personal? Since when did you start having personal things? I thought we were the kind of friends who share everything and -" Dexter paused when he noticed Elliana giving him the look.

"Fine. I am leaving. Why the heck did I even follow you thinking you were in some kind of trouble," Dexter pouted.

"Even those lips, Dexter. Your pout isn’t going to work here. You followed me because you wanted to know what I was doing not because you were ’worried’ for me," Elliana pointed out, and Dexter glared at her, walking out of the room nonetheless.

"So? What’s the matter going on? Is it not sorted? The royals are still looking for you? But aren’t you a Duke? Shouldn’t you have some kind of power too?" Elliana looked at the man confused, tying her face cover properly.

"I don’t know. I think someone in the black market leaked the information of the poison being created, and now the royals who are fighting for the throne want to get to the bottom of the rumors to earn some kind of plus points in this whatever battle they are playing," Marcello said, and Elliana hummed.

Of course, the knows about the competition for the throne.

"I am yet to find a place where I can start my experiments. It’s getting hard. At my new place, I don’t really have that much liberty to move around without getting suspected. I can’t be too wishful with my outings," Elliana thinned her lips.

"I have heard about a lab. The youngest vampire prince is developing a biotechnology and research and development lab at the International University. If you can get your hands there, then you might be able to research without anyone troubling you. It will be one of the biggest so I am sure there will be all chemicals," Marcello said, and Elliana hummed.

"Okay. I’ll see what I can do. Creating this poison is important for me too. It’s exciting, and as scary as it is, I would love to try it. I can get my hands there. You guys take care of yourself. I’ll have to leave now or people will start getting suspicious of my absence," She said and stood from her place.

"Marcello, take care of the girls for me and keep working from here. I have paid them twice the amount already. So it shouldn’t be a problem for you. If anything happens, contact me," Elliana paused, looking at the door one last time before leaving.

As soon as she exited the place, she noticed Dexter sitting on the ground at some distance while the wolves looked at him as if he was some alien and she sighed.

"I’ll call a cab for you," one of the rogues said, and she nodded.

"Dexter, get up. We are leaving," Elliana said and opened the door of the cab when Misha rushed out of the house.

Elliana was about to sit inside but Misha held her hand and attacked her from behind.

"Misha!" Marcello shouted and Glow rushed to her while Elliana clenched her hands around the door of the cab, barely controlling herself.

Misha, who realised her mistake took a step back subconsciously, making Ellisna sigh.

"It’s okay. I got it," Elliana took a deep calming breath.

Everyone in the group knows that Elliana doesn’t like anyone sneaking on her or hugging her from behind out of the blue. She becomes anxious and sometimes scared and ends up attacking the person.

Dexter turned around to look at the girl who was crying earlier and felt his heart skipping a beat as soon as his gaze landed on her.

Beautiful. That wasn’t even a word to describe how enchanting she looked.

Elliana noticed Misha wasn’t covering her face, and she closed her eyes in frustration, her gaze moving to Dexter who was looking at Misha with wide eyes.

"Don’t look at my girl like that," Elliana hissed.

Misha hid behind Elliana, peeking at Dexter, who was amazed by her beauty.

"I... She is beautiful," Dexter said, and Marcello closed his eyes.

The same mistake. He made the same mistake when he saw Glow taking off her face cover, and Elliana kicked him in the chest.

Though her kick wasn’t that powerful, he doubted it would be that easy this time.

"I know she is. So keep your dirty gaze off her," Elliana rolled her eyes before turning around and looking at the girl.

"I am not leaving you, Misha. I will always be here whenever you’ll need me. However, we know that we have different lifestyles and work to do. You focus on healing yourself, and I promise I’ll come back soon. No more long absences," Elliana said.

"That’s unfair,"

Elliana heard Marcello, and she turned to him with narrowed brows.

"When I called Glow Beautiful, you kicked me and you still are wary of me looking at her, but you didn’t do anything to that boy? Isn’t this unfair treatment?" Marcello complained like a kid who has been wronged, and Elliana rolled her eyes.

"Grow up, Marcello. You are not a kid," Elliana commented, making Glow smile, and Marcello looked at the people who were looking at him with amused eyes.

"I swear you treat me with the most injustice," he pouted, and Elliana sighed.

"I will confirm with you my schedule. Stop pouting. You look like a pedophile, despite your handsome face," Elliana smiled.

Marcello - "..."

"Hey, what’s your name?" Dexter walked to Misha, and Elliana narrowed her eyes before hiding the girl behind her.

"Keep your dirty paws off her," Elliana said, and Dexter looked at Elliana before realization dawned upon him.

"Wait. This girl. She has the same ratios as you. Same height, weight, skin color, hair length, and a few facial features too. What kind of things are you playing with, Elliana?" Dexter asked, and Elliana gulped before pushing him inside the cab.

"I’ll call," she said to her people before entering the cab and leaving with Dexter.

"Will you tell me what’s going on? Who are these people? What is your relationship with them? And what the hell are you doing?" Dexter asked the girl who was back to being the version of Elliana he was familiar with, not some hidden agent or boss.
