Chapter 781: Zeke's goal

This chapter is dedicated to @edi_o! Thank you so much for the supergift!

A long sigh escaped Alex's lips as soon as Zeres was gone. He understood what Zeres meant if he still could not find that book.

"I guess I can go back now to my darlings?" he muttered to himself, shoving his hands inside his pockets.

Alex actually was not here to invite everyone. The truth was, the baby shower was still two weeks later. But he had to come today after hearing about all these matters last night.

The vampire prophetess had personally visited him in his house last night. She had told him about her visions and told him what Zeke was planning to do. Alex was shocked at first but when he began to ponder about it more, his decision was not actually shocking.

In fact, Alex had realized, Zeke had been planning about this one thing all this time. For so many years, Alex had always wondered about Zeke's goal in life. Sure, he was into keeping the peace. But Alex was not really convinced that it was his ultimate goal. Zeke had been waiting and aiming for just one thing ever since that day.

Now he finally understood what it was. It was actually a bit obvious and yet none of them would ever have thought of it if the prophetess did not see it in her vision.

Just like the prophetess, Alex did not agree with what Zeke was planning to do. But who could stop Zeke when he had been aiming for this his entire long life? Honestly, Alex was certain even he could not do anything to change his mind. Unless...

Unless something actually happened within these ten days, and someone managed to mess Zeke up and shake his entire world like what Abi had done to him. He knew it would be very tough for Zeke though. In fact, this was the one thing he was not very confident with when it comes to Zeke.

Nothing, no one, ever managed to bring Zeke to his knees. Yet. And he was not sure if there will be a day that it would happen. Zeke was someone not even an inferno could soften and bend. He was unbreakable and whatever he was aiming, he will certainly get without question. This was the reason why he was the most dangerous creature he had ever known. Because nothing else can sway him.

But Oh well, he could only hope. Zeke's impossible, but there were things that proves that nothing was impossible as well. The hope was really slim, but Alex could only hope those lingerie he sent him would do something, no matter how little.

Letting out another deep sigh Alex signalled Lucas to approach him.

"I'm leaving. So make sure to do everything I instructed, understand?" he sternly said to Lucas and the ginger-head nodded at him.

"Yes, sir!"

"Good."

"What should we do if Zeres come back?"

"He won't be coming back any time soon. Not until he finds that book." Alex was quite sure about this at least.

Inside Zeke's apartment.

"Sorry but you need to bear with those undergarments for now." Zeke told Alicia. He had shut his eyes close while his head was thrown back over the couch. Even as he spoke, he did not open his eyes even for a second. And it seems like he was not planning to open his eyes any time soon.

"What? You... you want me to wear these?" Zeke could hear that Alicia sounded scandalised even if he was not looking at her.

"Better than wearing nothing at all underneath, Alicia. Do you not agree.

Her cheeks burned. This man still could get under her skin when he was tired out and not even paying much attention.

"Wait. I don't get it. Why don't you call for someone to come over again and get a decent one this time? Don't you have another phone?"

"I only have one. And I didn't install a telephone. I don't have a laptop here. They're all in the car."

Alicia was speechless. How the hell did a mafia boss only have one phone in the first place

She cut that line of thought, realizing that Ezekiel really did not need technologies to communicate. He could just go out himself if needed. He could travel anyvvhere in the blink of an eye after all. She then pursed her lips at that thought.

"How about you teleport us somewhere? Anywhere that we could buy me an undergarment or ask someone to buy it for us?" Alicia threw out suggestions somewhat mindlessly.

She just could not wrap her head around putting on those scraps of cloths on herself.

"I can't teleport right now." Zeke said matter-of-factly.

"And why is that..." she trailed off, realizing the change in his tone. He sounded like he was dozing off.

"Are you really going to doze off?" she asked a moment later. "What if I utter the spell to kill you?"

The corners of his lips curved up.

"You won't."

"And why wouldn't I? That would be my best chance." Alicia retorted, slightly displeased at how he was so sure about her actions when she herself was still in confusion with her own.

Another inaudible curse came from his mouth and then in one swift move, he pulled at her and she fell on his lap again.

Before she could protest, Zeke positioned her and pulled her head to lean against his shoulder. "Sorry... but you and I need to just sleep to avoid more trouble. This is for your sake too." He whispered into her ears and then something like a black wisp snaked over her face.

Her eyes that were initially fully awake suddenly began to droop.

"Damn... you... Ezekiel..." she managed to force out before her head collapsed limply on his shoulder and she fell deeply asleep in his arms.

"Yeah. Damn me to hell, Alicia." He whispered into her unhearing ears, smiling before he too finally succumbed to the irresistible pull of slumber.
