The whole day, Zack avoided Lillian whenever she would try to approach him. He even left without saying goodbye to her. She was getting her things and was about to get off of work when Alan called her in.She went inside after knocking on the door.“Do you need anything, Mr. King?” She asked, standing in front of him.“I can’t reach my son. He’s been acting off the whole day. Do you know what happened?” Alan asked with a frown on his face.“No. He’s been avoiding me as well. I wonder what happened.” She told him with a slight frown.“Zack told me what happened yesterday. Are you okay?” Alan asked her.“This isn’t the first time my stepsister did this. I can handle her now.” She told him with a smile.Alan got up and patted the side of her arm.“If it gets too tough for you, just tell me I’ll scare them off.” He told her and then lean in and whispered. “I’ll show them my vampire said.”Lillian froze. She had forgotten that he was a vampire. Sh
“Lisa, you better start telling me the fucking truth! Did you fucking cheat on me?!” Victor asked her in a furious tone. They were back at home and were arguing in the living room. “Of course not, dear! That bitch is lying so she can tear our family apart!” she told him in a desperate tone, making him see reason. “Yes, dad. How can you fall into her trap?” Aurora asked her father in a disappointed tone. “You stay out of it! This is between us. Go to your room.” he scolded her. “Hmph!” she stomped out of the room. she went to her room and slammed the door shut. “It’s all that funking bitch’s fault. I’ll kill her!” she said in an infuriated tone. ~Back in the living room~ “I’m getting a parental test.” Victor told Lisa. “Why don’t you believe me, honey?” she asked him in a distressed tone. “Because I know you had a sweetheart and your parents didn’t approve of him and so they forced you to marry me.” he told her. She loo
She answered the phone as Shadow continued holding her, which made her a little nervous. “Hello?” she asked, answering the phone. “Where are you?” He asked her. “I’m... Out.” She told him. “I heard what happened to you. I didn’t see you at university, so I was worried about you.” He told her. “I’m fine. I was worried about you as well. What’s going on with you? You were acting different today.” She told him. Shadow didn’t like that she was worried about another man in front of him so he kissed her neck which made her gasped. “What happened?” Zack asked worriedly, hearing her gasp. “Nothing. I just almost dropped my phone.” She lied to him. She looked at Shadow and gave him a troubled look. He gently pushed her down and got on top of her. She looked at him with wide eyes. “Can we meet up? I want to talk to you about that.” He told her. “Tell me where you are. I’ll pick you up.” Shadow mouthed her ‘no’. “At the beac
She was shocked at what was happening. This didn’t feel right. She felt like she was committing a big sin. She tried to push him away, but he wouldn’t budge. He was too strong. She grabbed his hair and tried to pull him away, but he didn’t move at all. She started crying and yelled against his mouth. He finally let her go and saw her upset face. She slapped him across his face so hard that her palm started stinging. He didn’t feel the pain from the slap, but he was definitely hurt. “I can’t believe you forced yourself on me! I hate you!” she told him and ran away crying. He stood there regretting what he just did. Not only did he disappoint her, but also made her hate him. He hated himself. Shadow was waiting for Lillian, leaning against his bike. He did not like the idea of her being alone with a vampire. He trusted her, but not him. He looked away and saw her running towards him. He looked at her, shocked, as she came closer because she was cryin
Shadow woke up to the sound of her whimpering. They were in his bedroom. He carried her to his bed and slept beside her. He got up and looked at her. She was covered in sweat; she had a deep troubled frown, and her hands were gripping the sheets tightly. He shook her. “Lillian, wake up.” He called her. “Lily!” Her eyes flew open and he could see the fear in her eyes. She turned around and saw Shadow. She hugged him. He patted her back to comfort her. “It was just a nightmare.” He told her. “No, it wasn’t.” She told him in a low tone, “It was a memory of my father dying.” He froze for a second and felt sad for her. “It was in the past. Don’t dwell on it.” He told her. But no matter how many years pass by, she will never forget it. But she felt at ease in his embrace and she soon fell asleep. She woke up, the next morning, and found herself alone. She looked around and saw that she was in bed. ‘So, I wasn’t dreaming
Zack didn’t go home after what happened. He just sat in his car, filled with regret. He wondered if she was ever going to forgive him. When she mentioned they went to a hotel together, he felt extremely jealous and his emotions took over him. He knew he just blew up his relationship with Lillian and things would never be the same between them anymore. He ran back home and got his car. Then he drove to the river and rested his head against the steering wheel. He wished he could sleep to pass the time quickly, but being a vampire deprived him of that luxury. Each minute passed by slowly for him and eventually the sun started to rise. He started his car and drove back home. When he got home, Alan looked at him. “Where were you the entire night?” Alan asked. “By the river.” Zack told him. Alan knew right away that something was wrong because his son’s tone was off. “Everything okay?” Alan asked him as he walked to the stairs. “Just leave
Her day at the office was as usual, just without Zack around her. Around lunch time she got a call from the receptionist. "Miss Adams, there's a Shadow Rivera here to see you." The receptionist told her. "Okay, thank you for informing me. I'll be right there." She told her. "You're welcome, Miss." The receptionist told her and the call ended. She got up and wondered why he was there. She looked at the clock and saw it was her lunch break, so it would be okay for her to leave her station for a while. She went down to the lobby and found him waiting near the reception desk. She saw he was holding a bag. Shadow saw her coming towards her and smiled. "What are you doing here?" She asked him. He lifted the bag and showed it to her. "I made lunch." He told her. She looked at him, surprised. "Why?" she asked him in a surprised tone. "You're my girlfriend, that's why." He told her. "I'll take care of you from now on." She
Zack was sitting on the edge, on the rooftop. The scene of Lillian and Shadow kissing kept repeating in his mind. He hit his head with his palms to stop himself from thinking of that. He suddenly heard the door open and looked back. He saw Lillian walking with her eyes glued to her phone. She had this love-struck smile which pained his heart because he knew it was because of Shadow. He thought of leaving, but he couldn’t, so he slowly walked up to her and hugged her from behind. He could feel her fighting against him, but he didn’t want to let her go. “LET ME GO!” she yelled at him. “I can’t.” He told her. She froze when she realised who this voice belonged to. “Can’t you give me a chance?” he asked her in a distressed tone. Lillian let her hands drop. “You can’t force someone to like you. It doesn’t work that way. Besides, I have some I like already.” She told him. He didn’t want to listen to that. He turned her around angrily.
`~1000 Years Later~The world wasn’t the way it was anymore. Technology had advanced and new species were discovered on multiple planets.Everything had changed in the universe except for his love for her.“Mr. King, the spaceship to earth is ready.” His secretary told him.Zack waved his hands dismissively.Everyone he knew had died or left him. His father died from poisoning. Lillian and Shadow died from old age, and Olivia never showed herself to him.Lillian was right. He would regret the day his father would die, and he did. Because of that day, he couldn’t make it to his father in time. He could only hold his lifeless body and cry.Years ago, he told Olivia not to heal him and let him be because that was his punishment, but she wouldn’t let him be and in the end saved him from death and that was how he was alive today.Zack got up from his seat and walked out of his office. He took the spaceship back to his home.When they got back, his secretary offered to drive him home, but h
Blake aimed at her head and pulled the trigger.The bullet hit her head and bounced off because of her dragon scale.She got up angrily and looked at him with a deadly expression.“You’re forgetting something. Dragon scales aren’t easy to pierce.” She told him with a growl.He knew that he would certainly be in trouble if she caught her, so he ran away, but Lillian wasn’t going to let him escape this time.She took out her wings and chased him in the air.Zack grabbed her phone and quickly sent Olivia their location because he feared that the way Lillian was angry she was bound to do something that she was going to regret.Blake was just in front of the staircase when she pushed him as hard as she could. He fell down the stairs and landed at the bottom, groaning in pain.“What you did to all of us, I will make you pay in full.” She told him with hatred, landing in front of him.“You don’t have the guts to kill me.” Blake told her, getting up.Lillian pulled her leg and kicked him so h
“What?!” Zack asked in shock, getting up. He gripped the phone in his hand.“It seemed like he had drunk some vampire blood.” Max told him.“How?” Zack asked in a more composed tone.“We don’t know for sure, but we… found dragon scales in his room. I suspect that the dragon might have come back for revenge.” Max told him.Zack looked at Lillian. She raised her eyebrow at him.“The same mistake was made last time. Don’t repeat it again.” Zack told him.“But young ma-.”“But, nothing. Do you understand me? And you will not take any actions without my approval. Do you understand me?” Zack told him in a cold, hard tone.“Yes, young master.” Max told him.“I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Zack told him and ended the call.“What happened?” she asked him, seeing the worry in his eyes.“... Someone has poisoned the vampire king like my mother.” he told her.“How?” she asked him, getting up and ignoring the fact that he just referred his father as the vampire King.“I don’t know. All I was tol
Lillian drove to the villa in her car and after driving for a few hours, she finally reached it. She got out and looked around. She smiled a little as the memories of this flooded her mind.The gates were open, so she went straight inside. She slowly walked inside and looked around.Lillian walked up to the pool first and smiled, remembering how Zack teased her here.She then went up to the room she stayed in. when she went in, she was surprised to see Zack there.He was sitting at the desk with his head resting on the table in the other way. He had his headphones on him.Lillian took a deep breath and walked towards him. She stopped in front of him and looked at his face. His eyes were closed, but the distress was clear on his face. The sunlight was hitting his face, so she lifted her hand and blocked it with her hand.Zack felt it and opened his eyes to see what had happened when he saw Lillian standing there. He lifted his head quickly and took off his headphones while looking at h
Lillian woke up before Shadow did and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She was craving something sweet for breakfast. She made waffles with bacon and a big bowl of cereal. As she slowly munched on her breakfast, she scrolled through her phone looking at her news feed.She finished her breakfast and got up to put the dishes away, then she went to check on Shadow, who was still asleep.She went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. The ring on her finger caught her eye. She smiled, looking at it, and suddenly was reminded of Zack.Lillian sighed and looked out the window of her living room, thinking about how she met Zack and how he saved her. Of all the things they had been through. She knew that there were some things she needed to talk with him about.Suddenly, a phone call interrupted her thoughts. She picked her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Olivia.“What’s up, Liv?” she asked her aft
She turned around and gasped, while cupping her mouth with her hands.“Lillian, since the first day we met, I’ve known that you would be mine for life. You brought so many changes in me that I didn’t even know was possible. You are my happiness and the only reason that brings a smile to my face. I want to give you the best things in life because you deserve them and I want to spend my whole life with you. Will you give me the chance to let me take care of you for until the day I breathe my last? Will you marry me?” he asked, looking at her while holding out the ring in front of her.Tears started to form in her eyes.She nodded and took out her hand for him.“Yes.” she told him in a low tone.He felt like the happiest man on earth as he got up and put the ring on her finger.Lillian hugged him tightly and then leaned back a little to kiss him.When they broke their kiss, Shadow whipped the few tears that escaped her eyes with his thumb.“I love you.” He told her.“And I love you.” She
Zack went to his villa and went to the bedroom Lillian stayed in. He sat down on the bed and looked at the empty room. He remembered the memories he had here and smiled sadly. He laid down on the bed on his back and looked at the ceiling.“How I wish I could go back in time and fix everything.” he said in the empty room in a low tone.Taking a rectangular box from his pocket, he looked at it. He remembered that it was her birthday, and he didn’t find her by coincidence. He had been looking for her around the city to give her the necklace he bought for her as a birthday gift.He opened the box and took out a four clover pendant out of it. The reason he picked this pendent up was because from now he wanted her to be lucky and happy in her life. He didn’t want her to suffer anymore in her life, but when he saw the way she looked at him, he knew that they could never be what they once were.He missed the past when they were close and happy and wanted to go back to those days desperately,
After dinner, they took a walk together for a while. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and there were a lot of stars twinkling in the night sky. Lillian looked up and wondered.“Do you think that there are aliens on other planets?” she asked him.“I don’t know. I only know about this planet. Why did you ask that so suddenly?” he asked her.She shrugged.“It was just a random thought.” She told him and then asked one more question she was wondering about. “What about parallel universes?”“Babe, I have no idea. I am no scientist.” He told her and added. “But maybe there are, and we don’t know that they exist yet. Like humans don’t know that dragons, vampires, werewolves, etc. exist.”She nodded.“Maybe.” she said and looked at him with a smile.“Wanna stop by your parents before we head home?” he asked her.She nodded.They walked back to their car, but when they reached it, they saw Zack standing beside it. They stopped in front of him.Lillian looked at him with mixed feelings.
Several days passed by and Lillian felt closer to her parents than ever before. She spent most of the day with them and even did work while sitting with them. Her parents were proud of their daughter’s accomplishments and they were also grateful to have her alive and well in their life.Shadow felt a bit lonely though in these past few days since she was spending more time with them rather than him, but he tried to be understanding towards her because she got to be with her parents after so many years. He imagined doing the same if he met his parents like this in this world. Though having her distracted was also good for him because he had more time to secretly go around and make preparations for proposing to her on her birthday.He had to check a lot of restaurants before he found a good one for her. He later went to a bakery and gave an order for a two-tier chocolate mousse cake.The night before her birthday, she slept with her parents and left him alone at the house, which left hi
