Bedding My Vampire Mate

The impact was so great that it sent Laura and Adhara flying in the air even though they were a huge distance away from the porch.

Laura laying on the tiled floor struggled to sit up. Her eyes almost fell out of their sockets when she looked back and saw the state of ruin the porch was in.

"Does this mean we would have been dead if we had remained there?" Laura asked with trembling lips.

Mere imagining how many pieces she would have exploded into if she had remained on the porch made her shudder.

Chilliness washed over her.

"The girl possessed a dark heart. And that's why we must get rid of her forever," Adhara said, still in shock.

She couldn't look away from the ruins of the once beautiful porch.

Back at where Joanna stood, merely listening to the mother and daughter's throbbing heart puts a smile on her face.

She brought back her attention to the security guards which had moved backwards after seeing what she did.

"I always burn them alive and watch them slowly burn up until nothing remains of them except their ashes," Joanna said, her voice stern and her expression devoid of any emotions.

"If you want to win the best security guard of the year's award then you can go ahead and try me… that's if you want to have a taste of being roasted alive," Joanna asserted.

She waited for a minute to see whether any of them would be gutsy to still want to fight with her.

When none of them attempted anything stupid, she turned and approached the huge building whose entrance the fallen walls of the porch had covered.

Joanna didn't take up to five steps when she stopped in her tracks and glanced behind her.

"Oh…," Joanna exclaimed to get the attention of the guards trying to assist the guy whose leg she had broken.

"I forgot to give you guys a little surprise I prepared," said Joanna.

She lifted her right hand and a tiny red flame resembling a ball appeared on the tips of her fingers.

Before the guys could fathom what the fearsome lady was up to, she sent the flames in their direction with the slight movement of her hands.

Arghh!

Screams of agony filled the air the moment the flying flames touched the body of the guards.

Even the one with an injured leg wasn't spared from her punishment.

"With this, you will forever remember what I am capable of. That way even though someone sends you to kill me in the future, you will think twice about ever carrying out such a mission," Joanna said as she turned and strolled towards the back door.

She paid deaf ears to the screams of the men still being tortured by the flying flames that follow them wherever they run to.

Joanna made her way into the house through the back door located at the far end of the huge building.

<Mission Completed>

<10,000/15,000 Exp>

The white notification screen popped up just before she entered the sitting room.

Entering the sitting room, she met Adhara and Laura sitting on the couch.

She acted like she didn't see them and proceeded to the stairs.

"You know how to return huh? With the way you shamelessly paraded yourself with the man yesterday, I thought you became his mistress and wouldn't return just like your mother who died as a mistress," Adhara said, her spiteful glances focused on Joanna's back.

Her words made Joanna stop in her tracks. She turned and threw murderous glares at the woman sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.

From how quiet Laura sitting beside her on the couch, she knew the young lady hadn't gotten over the fright she gave them earlier.

"So what if I decided to spend my entire life with him, how is that your business?" Joanna snapped. She strolled close to the centre of the room where they sat.

"Also between my mother and you, who is really the mistress and who was supposed to be the legal wife?... Do you need me to say it?" Joanna asked.

"You don't talk to my mother like that. Show some respect…,"

"And who said you could talk?" Joanna cut in, directing her fierce look to Laura.

"Also, if she had a bit of respect for me, do you think I wouldn't respect her in return?" Joanna asked, still staring at Laura whose head was lowered.

In her entire 18 years of existence, this is the first time, she has seen Laura so timid, especially in front of her.

This is the real essence of power. Even those who looked down on you before will bow their head in respect when you possess immense power.

Adhara stood up from the couch. "Anyways I won't press on the matter of you hanging out with a man. Whether or not you become a slut or a mistress it's none of my business. What I am concerned about is why you did that to Viviana," Adhara demanded an explanation.

Although she was domineering at the moment if this was in the past, Joanna knew that she wouldn't have been given the chance to explain.

She would have been rolling on the floor pleading for mercy even though she did nothing wrong.

"Did I do something to Mrs Viviana?" Joanna questioned. She hits the corner of her head with her index finger as she stares up.

"Hmm… I don't know what happened to her so will you tell me what happened to that proud best friend of yours…,"

"How dare you pretend not to know what happened when so many people witnessed what you did to her at the boutique?" Adhara yelled. She charged forward and raised her hand to slap Joanna.

"If I were you, I would drop my hands," Joanna said unfazed when she saw the woman's hand descend.

"Because I will make sure that you are unable to use your right hand for at least three days if it descends more than this?" Joanna stared at the woman's hand which had stopped in the midst air.

Looking at Joanna's murderous glares made Adhara recall the incident that occurred less than five minutes ago.

"What are you waiting for, hit me as you have always done and see whether it will still be the same?" Joanna said provocatively, seeing the hesitation in Adhara's eyes.

She has always been looking for the opportunity; the chance to teach her stepmother the lesson she would never forget.

Putting stuff in their food was a preamble. She will not deal with her lightly if she dared to as much as continued to lower her right hand.
