---- Vince! Congrattions! An excited Gerald steps in, with the team of other doctors, their eyes stare at Zariyan in astonishment.


    ps and cheers are heard while Vince just stood there beside her, his fists clenched Chuckling to himself, unable to believe this, Gerald steps closer, his heels clicking against the floor.


    Just look at her.


    Isn''t she perfect? He extend his gloved hand to touch her, to see if this is real, when a grip on his wrist stops him.


    Gerald eyes steer up to the intruder in irritation.


    Vincenzo stood, his towering frame blocking Zariyan from Gerald''s view, his expression hardened and eyes cold.


    She''s mine now, Vince dered, his voice low, dangerous, making all the cheers to die down.


    All the doctors stared between Gerald and Vince in stupefaction.


    Vincenzo has never resisted or refused Dr Gerald...


    ---- eee Until now.


    Until her.


    Whatever ns you had, they go through me first.


    Gerald raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at his lips.


    Possessive already, Vincenzo? You forgetthis is science, not sentimentality.


    Shes a tool in the end, not your pet.


    The growl that escaped Vinces throat was low and threatening, but he forced himself to stayposed She''s not a tool.


    She is going to be mypanion.


    And T''ll be the one to mold her, not you.


    Gerald''s gaze shifted to Zariyan, who sat motionless on the table, her crimson eyes fixed nkly ahead A cynical glint shines in his eyes and then he nods reluctantly.


    His hand retreats.


    Very well then, Vince.


    Train your pet well.


    Very soon we will proceed with the breeding.


    ---- Yes, Sir.


    Vincenzo''s eyes don''t lower or steer away from Gerald even once.


    A strange possessiveness had spread over him.


    Come, little one.


    Vince offers Zariyan his hand and those red eyes steer down to his open palms.


    She extends her right hand and softly wraps her small fingers around his huge palm.


    Vince gives onest look at everyone.


    And before anyone could dare to question.


    He tugged his little one along with her, away from.


    the prying eyes of this wicked world.


    But Sir- One of the doctorse forward to question Vinces behaviours, when Gerald just shows him his hand.


    Asking him to calm down.


    ---- os How can you be so calm Sir? That bastard is your creation.


    You have made him what he is today.


    He was just a little orphan who you found dying in a gutter.


    How dare he talk to you like that- Calm yourself.


    Its alright.


    But Gerald delves his hand in his pocket and smirks seeing Vince and Zariyas retreating back.


    Tet him live in this little world of fantasy till he can.


    I just love it when men fight over something stupid as a woman.


    Tdon''t-I don''t understand Sir.


    Gerald just gives him a knowing smile and walks out of the room, but not before him hisst order.


    Open the gates to the castle.


    Tt seems, we have some guestsing over.
