Chapter 47: 11. Alana Lannes
Chapter 47: 11. Alana Lannes
Unknowingly to Sheri. Laurence was the only one who is good toward Alana. They met in the past
when he was young. When the family of Laurence was going home in the middle of the night. They
were ambushed by bandits. His wealthy parents didn't survive the incident, and he was left behind
wounded. Alana was merely passing by that road when she heard the hoarse groans of a kid. She
swiftly follows the voice and saw a wrecked carriage with two slain bodies blatantly lying on the ground.
She discovered the muffled sound and there he is a 10-year-old kid wounded. Alana rushed him home
and help him. She sought someone to call her family doctor and when he arrived, he directly helps him.
The whole night Alana was with him and when he was awake he was shouting crying and looking for
his parents.
Alana patiently supports and takes good care of him but the trauma he has is something Alana can't
cure. She decided to seek someone to help him get over, with his trauma. She knows a couple that is
serving her noble family for countless generations. They were precisely like a family to Alana and
whatever Alana asked they are willing to do.
The reason they were faithful toward the Lannes family is. They are the only vampire family who
accepted them when they were banished from their own clan. So when Alana asked them if they can
take good care of Laurence. They gladly agree and treated him as their own child since they don't have
any children.
Alana provided everything for Laurence in secret until he grew up and becomes a merchant and
founded an underground group. He never remembers Alana until the moment she died that his
godparents told him about Alana. He was devastated when he found the truth about her.
In this life, he found out earlier who Alana is when he was sending someone to investigate her
background. His godparents heard about it and told him about Alana. He was completely shocked. He
was grateful he didn't harm her when he kidnaps her.
From since then on. He was faithful in sending flowers and gifts to Sheri.
Sheri was massaging her forehead when Ghani arrived. Sheri already changes to her casual dress.
"Sorry Alana, I was late. The pest was in front of my house again, and I was able to escape only
now."Ghani said while gasping.
Ghani was constantly being followed by Jack every day. He always brings flowers, chocolates, valuable
jewelry, and many more rare gifts but Ghani throws it to his face and closed the door. Sometimes she
has to climb at her back window to get out of her house.
They were like a cat and mouse. Jack on the other side finds it amusing. He loves going to her house
and gently teases her. Merely looking at her face makes his dead heart beats so fast. This day Ghani
climbs to her window and climb down and run toward Sheri's house.
Sheri saw Ghani gasping, and she went and gets a cup of water for her. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"It's ok," Sheri said gently.
"Oh did you have a visitor?" Ghani said while looking at the plates.
"The Laurence guy came and bought a breakfast meal," Sheri said.
"Who? Who came?" A deep voice sounded at their back.
Sheri and Ghani looked at the door and there stood Angelo with a flower.
Sheri and Ghani were dumbfounded when they saw him.
"What are you doing here?" Sheri asked.
Ghani walked carefully to the side. From all the potential suitors of Catherine Ghani knows that Angelo
is the scariest of them all.
"I came to visit my wife," Angelo said.
Sheri rolled her eyes. Ghani also wanted to roll her eyes, but she just lowers her head low. She knows
she cannot mess with the man next to Sheri.
"Now, you see me leave," Sheri said while crossing her arms.
Angelo draws closer to her and caresses her lips.
"My wife, I think you forget what I told you before?" Angelo gently grasps her chin and looks at her in
the eyes.
Sheri rolled her eyes and swats his hands from her chin. She had it. She's still thinking about Laurence
and now here's a bigger problem.
"Could you stop, just stop, goodness, why can't you be with Catherine? Go toward her. I don't like you
and will never be your wife. You're a a******, and piece of s***. Get out! Leave me alone. Go, leave,
now!" Sheri shouted furiously at him.
She was so tired of this negative feeling of dreadful fear. She doesn't care anymore if she's out of
character even this so-called husband of Alana has inadvertently gotten on Sheri's nerve.
Both Angelo and Ghani were surprised by her actions. Angelo was silent and Ghani's mouth drop
open.
"What can I do for you to forgive me?" Angelo said soothingly.
"You're still here I said, get out. Get out!" Sheri pushed him outside her house and locked her house.
Sheri came back to her kitchen room and gets her wine bottle and drink in one go.
"This mission is stupid, and it sucks," Sheri said while putting down the empty bottle of wine.
Ghani came inside the kitchen room doesn't know what to say. Sheri looked at her.
"Ghani join me. Let's get drunk." Sheri said.
Sheri brings out a port wine and gets a glass of wine for both of them.

Angelo was standing on her stairs. Pondering. That was the first time Alana shouts at him.
On the other side, an alarm that she's having an out of character attitude went on but calmed down.
Sheri didn't care anymore. Both Sheri and Ghani were tipsy especially Sheri. They were glad they had
so many people that they can trust to manage the restaurant.
After a couple of hours. Sheri looked at Ghani. How she heartily wished she has someone like her in
her own world. Someone, she can say it's my best friend. Woefully she has no one. While holding the
wine glass Sheri opened up.
"You know Ghani. I once fell in love with someone, but that person didn't even see me at all. I was
foolish. His looks drew me indeed he was handsome but that's all." Sheri said while consuming her
wine.
Ghani was tipsy, and she just keeps on listening without comprehending what she's saying.
"Indeed sir Angelo is handsome, but I agree with you. You were foolish."Ghani said.
"Ghani, you're my best friend. Jack is not bad at all. I think his sweet that he always comes to your
house even he went toward your parents to propose marriage. "Sheri said while smiling.
Ghani blushed the moment she mentioned Jack. Indeed, he was good-looking, and she is gradually
falling for him.
"Ah, I better go home before I get drunk," Ghani said making her excuse from their topic.
Sheri laugh. "Ok, you better go. Do you want I will send you back home? It's already in the middle of
the night," Sheri said.
Ghani shakes her head. "Nope thank you, I can take good care of my self. Thanks to you."Ghani said
while smiling.
"Alright see you tomorrow," Sheri said.
On the way, Ghani typically tried walking upright. She's tipsy but not drunk. She was thinking carefully
about what Sheri said. Her mom also talks to her about Jack. The sole concern Ghani has, is his
considerable reputation among women.
