Ms. Caroline stood before her, wearing a long black nightgown that swept across the ground. Her hair was collected in a loose bun behind her neck and the black color of her clothes accentuated the pale skin of her face.

She looks like a ghost in a horror movie.

Vero almost screamed at the sight of her, but she kept the scream in her throat. She rubbed her chest and took a deep breath.

After recovering from the shock, Vero realized that her current position was extremely disadvantageous.

“I—” She glanced at the lake. “I was admiring the beauty of the lake at night.”

Ms. Caroline didn’t budge. Even the muscles on her face didn’t move.

Vero swallowed hard and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “U-uh-“ She didn’t know what to say, and Ms. Caroline made her even more uncomfortable. Then she remembered the list of rules she got the first day she entered. “Isn’t there no curfew here?” she asked then, trying to justify her being here.

“There is,” answered Ms. Caroline. “And the curfew is

    Vero looked up and found a boy standing in front of her. He is the boy who appeared when Gothic Jia rescued her from the restroom. And that boy is one of Lev’s friends.“Santiago,” Vero said his name as soon as she remembered it.“Yes, it’s me. But I hope you call me Sant instead,” said Sant while reaching out and helping Vero up.Vero was still panting even though she wasn’t running and Sant was frowning while looking at her.“What happened?”Vero pointed to the hallway behind her and said with faltering breaths. “Blood.” She swallowed, wetting her dry throat. “Someone bit the girl and she was bleeding. B—but, that girl seems to… like it.” Vero’s whole body shivered at her own words.In all her life, she had never seen something as terrible as this.Vero swallowed again. She was so desperate for water and her current body condition made her even more exhausted. The fear did not go away and the more she thought about what had happened earlier, the more hysterical she became. Her hands

    Dizzy and slightly unsteady, Vero walked out of the mansion complex. She stopped in front of the gate overlooking the lake, then squinted to look at the Noblebranch on the other side. Even in the sun, the place still looks scary.Even though when she first came to Duradel, Vero thought about buying one of the mansions there, now she was reluctant to even set foot there. A black veil of cruelty seemed to envelop the place, but Vero couldn’t explain why she thought that way.After all, Noblebranch is just a bunch of giant old houses and not a place to harbor monsters.Vero folded the brown envelope from Ms. Caroline, then put it in her sweater pocket. Today she was wearing a maroon sweater that was as dark as blood.After taking a deep breath and having difficulty letting it out due to the mucus clogging her nose, Vero started her walk to Noblebranch. She traced the paved path at the edge of the Caravons Depth.The road ended at the edge of the

    At least she’s fine.Lev ignored Verona on purpose when they met in class. He didn’t want her to get in trouble with his fans and Lev didn’t want everyone to think he has a close relationship with her.But there is one thing that stuck in Lev’s mind. The fact that Verona is just fine.She should be feeling traumatized. Lev even thought she would lock herself in her room for days and go to the campus psychologist afterward. But no. She went to campus and attended lectures as if nothing had happened last night.Something’s wrong with her.After returning from attending lectures, Lev intends to meet one of the vampire elders who regulate the use of the forbidden area in the Duradel forest. He wanted to warn them that Conner was using the area to excess and that it could have a major impact on the reputation of the university in the future.But on the way back to Noblebranch, he met Sant.“You look grudging,” said Sant. “Has anyone asked you to fuck?”“I wish you knew what happened in the

  • The Billionaire Vampire's Darling   The Moldark's Residence

    The Moldark family’s maid escorted Vero into a large house that looked like an abandoned house. Vero wasn’t in the least bit interested in seeing the garden, and after she went inside, she wanted to get out of this house as soon as possible. A faint stench mixed with dust and moisture. The air was so thick in here, Vero felt she could touch and see its form. She wrinkled her nose and took as short a breath as possible to keep her stomach from turning over. The only lighting here comes from the chandelier, which sits right in the middle of the room. The light was a somber orange color that accentuated the gloomy atmosphere of this place. The staircase winds up in a corner of the main room, and at the bottom of the stairs is a short, stout man with a scruffy mustache. He was wearing a cheap suit that was a size smaller than he should have been. The buttons of his shirt seemed to struggle to hold back his protruding belly. “Welcome!” exclaimed the man while spreading his arms and b

    “FUCK!” Vero screamed and jumped back. She almost fell backward if Lev didn’t catch her swiftly. Lev grabbed Vero’s waist and pulled her, saving her from hitting a pile of sharp-cornered books.Vero’s arms folded in front of her chest, becoming a barrier between her and Lev. She lifted her face and her eyes met his. Her breath was panting and felt hot.Lev’s face was so close and, even though he always looked cold, now he became the sun in this gloomy place. Vero could breathe a sigh of relief just by looking at him. Yeah, she knew her thought was so ridiculous. As time went on, she didn’t understand her feelings for Lev.“What are you doing here?” asked Vero under her breath.Lev didn’t answer. Vero then heard a clearing from behind him and she tilted her head to the side to see who it was.“Have you found what you were looking for, Mr. Deammone?” asked Mr. Moldark. He stood in the doorway. His big fat body blocked Vero’s view towards the hallway, but Vero seemed to catch a glimpse o

  • The Billionaire Vampire's Darling   I Never Asked For Your Help

    Verona said nothing after Lev asked her to leave Duradel, and Lev took her silence as a sign that she understood what he meant.They walked down the gloomy hall of the Moldark family’s residence.Once again, Lev saved Verona from being exposed. He knew that Vincent Moldark, the crazy son of Old Moldark, had been waiting for Verona in a small cubicle in the library, waiting for the right moment to attack her.If Lev had been a few seconds late, by now all the vampires in Duradel would have been in a state of shock because they knew that there were still pure descendants of the Vampire Hunter race in this world.Lev deliberately slowed down so he could walk behind Verona. He watched the girl intently, still not understanding how she didn’t know who she really was.Lev should do more research on her.Or… he could choose the easier path. Get her out of here and get her away from the vampires once and for all.And isn’t that what she wants? Her former peaceful life.“Ah—Mr. Deammone!” crie

    The medicine that Sant gave was very effective. After Vero drank it and went to bed, she woke up feeling refreshed the next day. The social sanctions she received were, in fact, not as bad as she had imagined. And she couldn’t help thanking Lev for helping her, even though she didn’t understand what Lev’s motivation was for doing that.It felt too strange for Lev’s arrival at the Moldark residence to be called a coincidence. But Vero also doesn’t want to expect much, especially after Lev openly ordered Vero to leave Duradel.Vero took a deep breath as she remembered that. She shouldn’t have felt hurt, but that was how she felt. In fact, it still lingers to this day.When she came out of the room and locked the door, she heard the door across her room open. She turned her head and found Gothic Jia coming out of the room.“Good morning,” said Vero. She smiled slightly and, for some reason, she felt happy because Jia returned her smile lazily.“Are they bothering you again?” asked Jia af

    Vero did not attend the rest of the class that day. She stayed in her room, but not to cry or lament her fate.“You damn bitch,” Vero hissed while drying her hair in front of the mirror.She had just finished taking a shower and had washed her hair several times to get rid of the strong smell of meat from the soup Hatice splashed on her face.The incident in the cafeteria just now was not only embarrassing and trampled on her pride but also made her hatred of Lev grow even more.By God, she swore she would want nothing to do with Lev again in any case.After she finished drying her hair and getting dressed, Vero took her things out of the garbage-smelling bag, then put the bag along with her soup-soaked clothes into a large trash bag. She tied the plastic and took it out of the room.When she opened the door, Jia was standing at the door of her own room. She turned her head back and stared at Vero.Vero half slammed the door shut behind her. “Is this what you meant this morning?” she

    He was proposing.“Lev...” She was at a loss for words.The water enveloped them like a cold blanket, but all Vero could feel was the warmth in her chest. Her heart swelled with happiness as she gazed into his eyes, half-thinking that it was just another one of his prank routines.But no. The laughter that had formed on his lips earlier now shifted to seriousness. His gaze locked onto hers.“So... yes or yes?” he said softly.Her mouth cracked open. She was about to laugh, but when she saw the beautiful lips of his, she leaned closer and crushed her lips against his.Dim stars emerged as the sun slowly set. Vero’s body trembled from the cold air and the water that pierced her skin. But she didn’t want this kiss to end. She was reluctant to let go of his embrace.“You’re cold,” Lev whispered against her lips. “Let’s go up.”Vero protested as Lev ended their kiss and led her to the edge of the lake. He lifted her onto land first before climbing up.“That was a su—such an unusual proposa

    Her heart spread doubt throughout her body as Lev’s fangs slowly pierced and tore through her skin. Vero wrapped her hands around his waist, her fingers digging into his back, suppressing the pain and fear.Not fear for herself, but for him.In the next moment, she could smell and feel the blood saturating her shoulder and neck. Her eyes tightly shut, forgetting even to breathe as her mind was consumed by something else.What if the drug failed? What if her blood became more toxic and killed Lev right now? What if—“Verona.”Her eyes snapped open. Lev was staring at her, no longer sucking her blood. Red stained his lips and chin, and her mouth cracked open, but no sound came out. Only a tremor remained.Slowly, Vero withdrew her hand from his back, moving it to his cheek as her worried eyes explored his face.“How?” she asked.“I—” Lev licked his lips. “I’m not sure. Can I taste it again? Just to make sure.”“Okay.”Vero wanted to embrace him, but he grabbed her hand and held onto it.

    The last thing she remembered was how sadness had drained the color from Lev’s face, leaving him as pale as a winter morning in Duradel.Consciousness slowly faded away from her, and Vero knew this was the end of her life. Celsi had unintentionally, with sincere intention, plunged her into death.Or so she thought.“Verona.”She heard Lev’s voice in the distance, calling her name with hope, even a hint of force, and faintly, she felt something caressing her face.“Verona, you know I can’t go on a day without you. How dare you close your eyes and not react to my calling?”Sometimes she forgets how arrogant Lev is.Verona opened her eyes as she formed a weak smile on her lips. “What a crafty vampire you are,” she muttered under her breath.She looked into his widened eyes, catching a sliver of shock and relief in his irises. He was about to bend down and sweep her into a hug when someone shouted from the other side of the room.“Lev, what did I tell you before? No touching until I exami

    Lev said he will be coming to her room tonight. So, when someone knocked on her door, Vero immediately open it with a grin split on her mouth.“Hi, Le—“ She stepped back, surprised to see Celsi standing behind the door instead of Lev.It was not that she was scared of her or anything. It was just because her appearance that made her looked like a little creepy ghost.“Celsi?” Vero crouched down so she could have a better vision of Celsi’s face. “What are you doing here? You wanna play, sweetie?”Celsi returned her smile. “Can I come inside? I want to play tea party with you.” Then she stepped aside so Vero could see the little trolley that she brought with a bunch of dolls inside.Vero stood and opened the door wide to let Celsi in. “Sure!”Celsi paused in the doorway and examined Vero’s room. “How can you live in this cramped space? It’s even smaller than my closet.”Vero’s temple twitched at hearing those words, but she could only laugh. “Not everyone has the privilege of having a p

    If you knew you had forever, what would you do?For some people, they would go to various places, accumulate wealth, have fun...But there’s only one thing Vero wants if she has forever: to spend as much time as possible with Lev.“Are you sure?”Daire observed the small tube containing a black liquid that Vero handed to him. He held it up to the light and gently shook its contents. The liquid resembled black mercury, with fine particles emitting light.Vero sat in front of him, with Lev standing behind her. His hand stretched across the back of the sofa, as if protecting her from something. Although Vero couldn’t see his face now, she could sense the unease radiating from him.Although Lev didn’t immediately agree with Vero’s idea about the potion and her desire to become a vampire, he eventually relented.And here they were now, in one of the Deammone pavilions that served as a temporary residence for the Thancred family.Daire held the bottle and carefully placed it in his jacket p

  • The Billionaire Vampire's Darling   I Want Forever

    Lev felt guilty for venting his frustration about The Elders to Verona. They had just met after being apart for two weeks, and he cursed himself for wasting their first meeting in so long.He acted that way for a reason. Something he couldn’t tell her because it wasn’t his nature to express his feelings to anyone.Perhaps he should start practicing that now, so their relationship could go smoothly. Besides, he had planned something for his long-term future, and Verona was a part of it.After placing a bouquet in the middle of the forest, where Henry’s body was found, Lev headed towards Dormitory B. There were no residents here for the time being, so he could come and go freely at night to visit Verona.Upon reaching her room’s door, Lev knocked and waited. No response. He knocked again. Silence followed.Lev reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He dialed Verona’s number, and the call connected on the third ring.“Where are you?” he asked, his tone slightly annoyed and impat

    “What did you say?”Vero, who was previously on the phone lying down, immediately sat up in bed. Her heart pounded as she heard her father’s words. “Say it again. Does the bottle contain a liquid that can neutralize my blood?”“Yes, darling.”“But where did Elijah get it from?”Her father cleared his throat. “He stole it from Etana’s storage room after hearing about her plan to sacrifice you to the vampires. Etana had conducted some experiments to create a drug that would make human blood toxic to vampires. However, she ended up finding a substance that could neutralize the toxins in her blood.”Vero was stunned. “Why did Elijah give it to me?”“He thought that if you drank it, your blood would return to normal, and the vampires wouldn’t recognize you as a vampire hunter.” She could hear the buzz of a hairdryer in the background. It seemed like her mother had finished showering. “But looks like you don’t need it anymore. Because—well—your lover, and others... already know about you.”

    Since the Thancred Residence is still under construction after it was destroyed, the meeting of The Elders was moved to Castellar’s place. And there was nothing about Castellar that Vero likes, from the house, the servants, and Castellar himself.Raphael informed Vero about some important things regarding The Elders because he thought that Vero would have a lot to do with them in the future. Well, that couldn’t be denied. Especially after all the vampires in Duradel found out that she was Lev’s lover.Vero and Lev walked side by side, following Daire Thancred as they entered Cristoval Castellar’s residence. He was the only Elder who didn’t have a family. No wife and children, and it seemed that he greatly enjoyed his solitude.Although his house wasn’t as big as Deammone’s or Thancred’s, everything here looked more expensive and luxurious. From the furniture to the decorations on the walls. There was no doubt that Cristoval was a cunning vampire who enjoyed collecting luxurious items.

    The rain was pouring nonstop in the past week.Every drop of water is evidence that nature was working hard to help Duradel recover from the devastating fire three months ago.Many houses were burned to ashes, and several residents lost their lives. The once lush and green forests surrounding the city now turned into a bleak expanse of black charcoal that was distressing to behold.It was there that Lev and Raphael discovered the bodies of Henry and Etana after the fire had consumed them both for several hours.Once again, Lev had to lose a family member to the fire. And because of Etana.Raphael had told everything, the story of Henry and Etana, to Lev and Verona. Besides Raphael, no one else knew the true story between the two of them, and he swore to keep that secret until his dying day.All of that answered the big question in Vero’s mind about why Henry decided to take Etana with him to his death. Perhaps it was because Henry knew that Etana would never stop due to the pain she h
