Chapter 36 Daddy's Bestfriend Birthday
After drinking his blood, she finally fell asleep. Although she hasn’t done anything physical, she got really tired for some reason.
After she fell asleep, Brian and Charlotte walked up to the living room and sat on the couch. Both of them were silent for a moment until Charlotte decided to ask.
“Do you think what she said was true?”
Brian shook his head and said “I am not sure. She is a smart girl. She knows when to lie and how to lie. But if it is true, then we can’t ask for more. It would be a blessing that she has such feelings towards you.”
“Yeah! I am sure that she hates me because of her mother. But, I can’t blame her for thinking that way. In her mind, she believed that her mother can easily entice you even if you don’t like her now.” Charlotte nodded her head and spoke.
“And, do you really believe in it?” Brian chuckled.
“If it was that easy, then I wouldn’t have waited for eight years.” Charlotte shook her head with a smile on her lips.
At this moment, Brian suddenly caught her hand. She looked at him. He looked at her and said.
“I’m sorry for not doing anything.”
Charlotte shook her head and said “Don’t be sorry! In fact, I am happy that you accepted me after you got enticed by my smile. If you had accepted me before, then our relationships could’ve been just like your past relationships.”
“You realized that, huh!” Brian rubbed his head in embarrassment.
“Of course, I know. Barry and James also know this. In every relationship, you never loved a girl. You were only attracted by them. And, because you were handsome and smart, they were also attracted by you.” Charlotte giggled as she remembered her high school.-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
“It is really hard to fall in love. Unlike in fantasy, it takes a miracle to find someone who truly makes you complete. But, I am glad to be one of the luckiest people to ever find that miracle.” Brian proudly states as he gets closer.
“Me too.” Charlotte blushed as she turned her head away from him. But, he caught her chin and pulled her. At this moment, her eyes were closed. She couldn’t open her eyes because she was already expecting something.
She felt a soft touch of foreign skin on her lips and her heartbeat went crazy for a moment. Two of them remained in that position, locking their lips together for a long time.
After Brian finally finished his kiss, he went closer to her ears and whispered “You don’t have to worry about anything. You will always be my number one love.”
Hearing his words, her cheeks turned red, and even her ears. She barely nodded her head.
“Alright, let’s make some decorations!” Brian excitedly stood up and spoke.
“For what?” Charlotte stared at him with confusion and asked.
“Did you forget? Today is his birthday.” Brian rolled his eyes and tried to make her remember.
“You invited James. Wait, wait, how are we going to explain Ely? And, what about us?” Charlotte panicked when she remembered today’s date. Since she also had few friends, she remembered James’s birthday clearly.
“Don’t worry, he is our friend for ten years now. He can understand it. I will order a cake. We need to make some decorations and also wake up Ely in case she doesn’t.” Brian took out his phone while instructing her.
Then, he began to order the cake. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
After three hours, the doorbell of his apartment rang.
“Lily, open the door!” Brian spoke as he looked at the screen of his phone. On that screen, it was playing live in front of his door.
Creek!
Bam!
“Happy Birthday!” Brian, Charlotte, and Ely cheered at the same time when James entered.
James was shocked for a moment. Although Brian had wished him and even if they had partied a few times, he never called James here to celebrate his birthday.
“Whoa! I didn’t expect that. And, Charlotte, you are here too.” James looked at Brian and Charlotte with surprise.
“Hey, hey, you can’t just wait here and talk. Come on, you need to cut the cake.” Brian hurriedly pulled him inside. They decorated the room with some balloons.
There was a big two pounds cake on the table. Having no chance to ask anything, James split the cake as they sing happy birthday sone for him.
After ten minutes, Ely was sitting on the couch eating cake while three of them were standing a little far from her.
“Now, can you tell me who is she?” James pointed his finger at Ely and asked.
Brian opened his mouth but it was quite hard to say that sentence. It took him five seconds to finally start.
“She is my daughter.”
“Oh…..OH….. WHAT? You had a daughter. Wait, you two, when, how, why didn’t you tell me?” It was completely unexpected because he wasn’t expecting that at all.
He instantly turned around and looked at Ely.
“She does look like you but she doesn’t resemble Charlotte at all.”
Suddenly, Brian caught his head and pulled him away. Ely who was eating the cake got disturbed for a moment but when Brian pulled him away, she resumed her meal.
Cake > People
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ Cake > Curiosity
“Can you remain silent? I will explain everything but first, let’s go there!” Brian pulled him to the room where he had kept his gaming pod. He signaled Charlotte and locked the door.
But as soon as he locked the door, he let go of James.
“Damn! When did you get so heavy? It felt like I was pulling a rock.”
James bitterly smiled and said, “I will explain later.”
Brian nodded his head and touched the side of his door. When he touched it, a white light emerged beneath his palm. The wall on another side opened. Both of them walked towards the wall and entered.
It was an elevator outside the room but still invisible to everyone else. The elevator moved down until it got inside the garbage room. The pathway was invisible to everyone.
The top of the garbage room was opened for this elevator to move down and when it did enter, the ground opened on its own. The exact place where the elevator landed was covered with walls so that the people couldn’t see it.
His elevator went straight towards the underground, nearly thirty meters. When it stopped, the door opened and they were in front of a dark room.
“Lily, turn on the lights!”
Clack! Clack! Clack!
As the lights turned on, the entire room became visible. There were hundreds of computers located in different places. There was an amazing black car in the middle.
There were nearly dozens of giant screens on the walls. And, lots of different techs, papers, and holograms.
Brian walked up to one of the tables and picked up a small ring. He threw the ring at James and said “That’s my birthday present for you. It will control your anger and if you keep it activated, then there will be fewer chances for you to get angry.”
“Thanks! So, are you going to tell me about that daughter of yours?” James caught the ring but he was even more intrigued about his best friend’s daughter.
“Ely is my and Lucy Bathory’s daughter.” Brian sighed and answered.
James narrowed his eyes and tilted his head.
“Lucy Bathory….. You mean that Lucy Bathory, the Blood Queen, the strongest person in the entire world, that Lucy Bathory.” James freaked out when he finally remembered the name.
His body was shaking. Brian nodded his head and sighed.
“You f**ked the Blood Queen?” James repeated but in a more drastic way.
“Can you not say it like that? It feels like I did something amazing.” Brian’s eyebrows twitched when he heard his friend’s description and sighed.
“Of course, it is amazing. That silver hair, red eyes, oh my god, how can I forget it? No wait, I never even thought about it. You actually f**ked the Blood Queen.”
“Wait, does that mean she changed her title from Blood Princess to Blood Queen because she had a daughter? And, when did you f**ked her? Why didn’t I see your daughter till now? What’s happening? Tell me everything.” James began to question his best friend.
Brian slapped his forehead and said, “Can you stop using the F word? And, don’t worry, I will explain everything.”
Finally, Brian told his entire journey over the past three to four days. Hearing his explanation, James sighed “Well, it is good that you got a family now. And, I feel proud that you finally accepted Charlotte.”
“You son of… because of you, she has suffered a lot. Don’t make her suffer anymore.”
Hearing his words, Brian sighed and nodded “Don’t worry, I will never let her suffer. Anyway, you forgot to tell me. Why did you need that ring?”
“Oh yeah! I also forgot to ask you. Didn’t you feel any changes in your body when you reached the age of twenty-five?”
