Chapter 2

Quraish Pronounce - Ku - rah - ish

Omar Quraish, a 1000-year-old vampire, who is one of the most ruthless and powerful beings among a group of other vampires and the leader of the Elders - a hand full of other vampires specially picked out by Omar to keep order from Vampires haunting for human blood.

Omar, who had long for a mate for over a millennium, has abandoned the idea of searching for The One.

He convinced himself that he was destined to be alone. This led him to indulge himself with beautiful women that he has waiting for him back at his mansion.

Those women were once in a dark time of their life, such as slavery being sold off at brothels or auctions. Some of the women were at one point, almost dying.

He saved them out of loneliness to think that one of the women would be 'The One'. Throughout the years of saving countless women, only five remained by his side residing at his mansion where he turns them into Vampires.

It was 1787 when he wondered a village in Italy that he heard a distressed scream coming from the far corner of an old-wrecked building. Making his way there he discovered a woman curled up with her hands close to her chest.

She lied on the floor unconsciously with blood painted on her nightgown. Omar quickly realised the scene and made haste carrying the woman to the village hospital.

The doctor delivered a sadden news that she may not live very long. They also mentioned that no one knew her, neither a single friend nor family member was located that can identify who she was.

It was when the news was spilled that Omar felt a tug in his heart that made him do a selfish act. He decided to informed the doctors that he would be the person to give her a proper memorial. However, it did not turn out that way; instead that night he took her back to his mansion where he turns this woman into a Vampire to both save her life and to make her part of his lonesome family.

Due to the power Omar possessed, the woman made a quick recovery allowing her to awoke from her one-day coma. She sat up, rubbing her eyes with her hands realising in a confusing state that she is in an unfamiliar place.

Then out of nowhere, a deep masculinity voice echoed through the hallway outside where she was staying, following specific instructions to cater her and tell her what was going on as she heard footsteps fading away.

Eventually, she came to an understanding of the decision he made and became thankful that he saved her from death and told the women on the mansion that if they can pass on her gratitude to him along with her name.

Omar quickly learned the name Katrina from the women he saved at the old-wrecked building. It wasn't till 100 years passed in 1887 that Katrina fell pregnant with his first child that they settled down. From that day, onward Katrina would be formally known as the FIRST LADY of the house.

Present Day

Omar was on his way to work in his luxury vehicle heading to one of his now-large company that he first established in 1901 as a small dealership but over the years grew to be the world's most renowned company of all time.

As he checked the stock market on his iPad, the chauffeur suddenly slammed the brakes resulting in him dropping the iPad. He picked up the iPad and asked his chauffeur why he suddenly stopped.

"My apologies Sir, it seems that a car had been swerving dangerously."

It was then he spotted a person who was caught in the tracks of the car that was driving dangerously on the road. His instinct told him that he needed to save this person and without hesitation, he hurriedly made his way out of the car in a blink of an eye reach that person and caught them before they hit the ground.
