The Vampire King Chapter 89: Proposal
Sebastian stared at the note that had been put in his mail. 'What shall you do about Cecilia Grazia?' He tore it up and threw it in the waste bin. Cecilia was Aurora's mother and Aurora was the woman he loved and who was currently carrying his child. He would never harm the only family she had. Zik had not called since the Sunday he visited. After the incident, in the evening, both he and Aurora had gone to see a priest for confession and he had registered himself for the baptism class. She said she would get a pregnancy kit in preparation but she had not called him since they parted ways at her doorstep, for over a week. He paced about his bedroom. He was restless. The previous night, he had slept off in an excited state and when he woke up in the morning, he had expected to see her lying next to him. He ran a hand through his hair. He could still smell her, still feel her, still touch her. It was like she was living in his head, constantly near him. He blew out a breath. His hea

I know you deserve a lot more," he began, "and I wish I could give you a lot more. Maybe our feelings have not gotten to this stage yet, maybe you have never thought of doing this with me but.. Aurora," he took a deep breath, "I think I love you, I think I'm falling in love with you and I... I have never worried so much about any other woman or thought so much about any other woman. I want to do this with you. I cannot leave you to go through this phase without assuring you of my presence, of security. Please." Tears were rolling down her cheeks and she made no effort to stop it. The silver studded ring glittered and God help her, she was so tempted to say the word. "Sebastian," she whimpered. "I know, I know," he nodded, "but love would grow along the way. If you have never thought of doing this with me, if you don't want to, you don't have to say yes but Rora, if you feel even the tiniest bit of love for me, if you want some future with me, I beg you..." His lips trembled, his lim
The Vampire King Chapter 91: Cecilia Grazia
Sebastian inserted the flash drive into its port in his PC then they sat back against the sofa to watch. It was a CCTV footage. "Of my home," Aurora gasped, leaning forward. It was a chaotic scene. Several armed men shot at each other in her living room, the living room she had played in so many times as a child. There was a figure hiding in a corner. "Ezekiel," Sebastian murmured, seeing Aurora's frozen posture. He was snuggled to the wall, shivering. Cecilia sneaked in, hiding from the rain of bullets coming some metres away from the terrified boy. She picked Ezekiel up roughly, hugged him tightly to herself then let him go. Aurora's eyes followed Cecilia's hasty movements out of the living room and when she looked back at her little brother, she let out a sharp scream. Sebastian was astonished. "It can't be true," he muttered, playing back the scene. Aurora watched with wide eyes. It played again. Cecilia picked up Ezekiel roughly and hugged him to herself. When she let go and
The Vampire King Chapter 92: Patrick Grazia
Aurora and Sebastian waited in the Police station closest to their residence. Cecilia Grazia was arrested and they were the cause. The ringing of the office phone in the detective's office had them snapping back to life. They watched the female detective answer the phone. "She has been taken into custody? Good. What? Can you send a picture so that whoever it is can be identified? Good, good, I'll be waiting." "Apparently," the female detective, Nadia, spoke to her, "your mother has been keeping a man hostage under her bedroom." "Hostage?" She blurted out, hating her mother even more. "I will receive a mail shortly so... Received." Nadia turned the desktop in her direction. Her first reaction was disgust at the bloody figure in the photo but on closer look, she almost dropped dead. "That's my father," she whimpered, "that's my bloody father." Nadia shot her a comforting smile then made another phone call. "Victim is Patrick Grazia. Please send him to a hospital. His daughter is
The Vampire King Chapter 93: Pregnancy symptoms
The crinkly sound of nylon bags had her looking up. Sebastian. He shut the hospital room door. "I brought food," he informed her, "you haven't eaten anything since the cereal. You are carrying a child now, you shouldn't act recklessly." Her emotions were conflicted. Was she to feel warm at his concern or guilty at his scolding? "I'm sorry, I got carried away." He stopped unpacking the bags he brought long enough to shoot her a look. "I didn't say that to make you feel guilty, I said it so you won't allow the present situation to weigh you down." She blinked, "Oh." He smiled, a warm loving smile. "It's fine that you don't feel like doing much, it's understandable." He brought out two medium-sized food flasks and a transparent pack containing cutleries. "Zik's family still lives here. I had to bother his mother to cook us a meal since she said takeouts are not so healthy for a pregnant woman. Here." He handed her a flask. Of course, she knew Zik's family still lived here. Zik
The Vampire King Chapter 94: First love
She has been through a lot recently." "I am her fiance." "We don't stay here, we'll only be here for a short while but of course, I'll make sure she takes prenatal care at a hospital over there." Aurora's eyes fluttered open. She shut them when the world danced and opened them again. Sebastian was talking to a man in a white jacket, a doctor. She sat up, flexing her shoulders. "You're awake," Sebastian beamed. "How do you feel, miss Grazia?" "Tired," she muttered, looking at the middle-aged friendly doctor. "It's nothing big. I'll advise that you rest here for the night. Get lots of rest, you need it, and eat well. Pregnancy isn't so complicated, is it?" She shrugged. She wouldn't know since she had never been pregnant before. "First time, isn't it? Take things easy, yeah? I recommended a couple of vitamins to your fiance. Have a good night's rest." Her eyes darted to Sebastian at the word 'Fiance'. It still seemed so unreal. Her gaze drifted to the ring on her finger. "I n
The Vampire King Chapter 95: One night stand
"And what does that have to do with anything? You had a family, he had his. Why couldn't you both forget about whatever fling you had in the past?" Cecilia swallowed. "You of all people should know how addictive the emotion of love Is." Aurora looked away. "The night I had a one-night stand with your father, I had an argument with Williams. That was why I made such a reckless move and, not to offend you, I do regret it but there's an advantage to every disadvantage. Your father found out about my relationship with Williams and with them both being sworn enemies and with me also carrying his child, he forced me into marriage. I was heartbroken, Williams was bitter. We both thought we could do without each other but years passed and the feelings never faded, they only heightened. We began seeing each other again and unfortunately, I got pregnant." "Unfortunately," Aurora shook her head in disgust. "You may disagree but it would have been better for Ezekiel never to h
The Vampire King Chapter 96: Walking away
Aurora watched her mother cry. She still found it hard to believe all that she was saying. Once bitten, twice shy. "Williams told me if I didn't do it, he would have his men do it. The attack at the house was a distraction. I made him eat a peppery food that he hated the night before so that morning, he was running a high fever and he couldn't make it to school. I..." she bowed her head, "Patrick never suspected me again after that incident and everything returned to normal but I wasn't normal. Do you think I never felt guilty for once?" Cecilia raised her head to look at her. "If you did, it never showed." "That's why I became so hard on you!" Cecilia exclaimed, "that's why I was always so strict and harsh. That's why when I found out you were secretly seeing Sebastian, I went all haywire. I was scared. I was scared that history would repeat itself. I was scared that Ezekiel's sacrifice would be in vain. It wasn't because I hated him, I loved Sebastian like my own son." Aurora
