DANRIOUS's POVI woke up from the sounds of birds chirping outside my window, and while still lying on the bed, I looked around my room and found my clothes scattered on the floor, so I got up and picked it up.I put on my clothes and fixed my bedding, but while smoothing the plain white bed cover, I saw Runo's bloodstains."Damn it!" I cussed as I pulled my hair tightly.I wasn't planning to take advantage of her, but I just couldn't control myself last night.Then, memories of my mischief and unbelievable commands flashed in my mind, making tears form in my eyes again.I regret it. I should have listened to her. I shouldn't have done those things to her, like taking her blood without permission.I tried to stop my tears from falling by looking up at the ceiling, but I still couldn't stop it.Not cool. How many times have I cried because of that woman? Only Runo can do this to me. And only she can make me go crazy for a passionate night.As soon as I remembered what happened to Runo
KAELYNN's POV❦❦❦I slowly opened my eyes and saw Mila sleeping on the couch inside my room. Then, I tried getting up from my bed, but my body felt heavy, making me groan."Kaelynn, you're awake!" Mila exclaimed after she woke up when she heard the slight noise I had made."No, don't push yourself too much. Your body still needs more rest," Mila said. I tried to speak in response to her, but my throat felt so dry that it hurt every time I tried to utter a word."Here, drink this. I'm sure your throat is dry," Mila said as she gave me a glass of water and helped me drink."Finish this first. I'll go fetch you a warm soup," Mila said, so I nodded at her. Then I tried to speak again after drinking the glass of water."Tha-Thank...you...Mila." I uttered and smiled at her, which she returned with a smile as well. Then, she walked out of the room.I looked around my room and noticed the bag of dextrose hanging from its stand right beside my bed. I followed the cord and saw it connected in m
DANRIOUS's POV❦❦❦I'm too nervous to face Runo right now, even though she's just sitting beside me while leaning her head on my right shoulder.Wait, I'm still confused. Does this mean that we're now in a relationship? I mean, is she my girlfriend now? But we already made love with each other, so we're already a married couple now? But we're still unmarried legally, so does that mean we're in a Mutual-Understanding-relationship? Aish! This is so confusing. I don't know what to think in this situation since it's my first time being in a serious relationship with someone, and I'm glad that Runo was my first and last.Sitting beside this woman, I feel like I've already lost my mind. My heart is beating so fast right now because of joy, excitement, and love. It may sound cliche or cringy, but this is the truth, and I don't want to lie to myself anymore.Now, I understand what Daniel told me before that even though Runo is just a simple woman, her sex appeal is overflowing and not just be
KAELYNN's POV❦❦❦Everything has been settled between the Lockhart siblings now. But they're still preparing themselves for tomorrow because Sir Danilo, their father, will be arriving tomorrow, which is why all of the maids are busy cleaning the mansion.The maids are frantic now since Mila, the head maid, is not here in the mansion. She left earlier, saying that she had something important to do.And even though I wanted to help with the chores, Danrious won't let me be away from his sight."Hey! Will you stop staring like that? Our child won't run out of my womb, you know," I joked as I looked at how intensely Danrious was looking at me and then at my lower abdomen."You never know what might happen, Runo," Danrious replied, making me laugh at his over-protectiveness for our child and me. Nevertheless, I am happy that he's the father of my child. Honestly, I never imagined that I would get pregnant at the age of twenty and that I would have a handsome yet childish and short-tempered
KAELYNN's POV❦❦❦We're all stunned at the woman standing before us. Her words felt like bombs exploding on us.What...d-did she just say?"R-Rose?" I heard Sir Danilo stuttering while he was staring at the woman standing beside Sir Darenn while staring intensely at him."I'm here to take back what's mine," Rose said, carrying Sir Darenn."W-Wait. I- I thought you—" Sir Danilo uttered again, but the woman cut him off."You thought that I was dead already?" Miss Rose spoke. Then, her expression became stern as she glared at Sir Danilo."Well, sorry to disappoint you, Danilo, but I am very much alive," Miss Rose added, smirking at Sir Danilo. Then, she suddenly walked her way in my direction."Come. We will leave this hellish place," she spoke as she grabbed my right hand and gently pulled me out of the room with her, which greatly shocked me, but Danrious was fast enough to snatch my hand away from this woman."Wait! Where are you taking Runo!?" Danrious anxiously asked. The woman simp
KAELYNN'S POV❦❦❦Many things happened, and I still can't believe I have reunited with my biological mother, who left me behind at the orphanage twenty years ago. And that she's standing beside me right now while cutting vegetables.A few hours ago, we went to the market and bought a mattress for Danrious and me to sleep on and a cabinet for our clothes and put those inside the small bedroom in this apartment. The place only consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom and toilet, a small living room, a kitchen, and a small balcony where we can hang our wet clothes after washing.If I compare the size of this apartment to a place where I had gone, the whole area only sums up the entire bedroom of Danrious back at the Lockhart's mansion."How do you feel, Runo? Does your body hurt or something?" Mom Rose asked, but I just shook my head at her."Not really, but there are times that my body feels heavy and tired," I answered, and she looked at my lower abdomen."How old is the child again?" Mo
KAELYNN'S POV❦❦❦It's been three days since Danrious, and I moved into this tiny apartment. Even though only the two of us are staying here, we're still happy.However, nowadays, most of the time, I'm the only one left here since Dan is still going to school, and now, he's working in his part-time job as a waiter in a fast food chain in the mall; that's why before he leaves the house, he's fully covered in long sleeves and clothing, to protect him from the sun.Whenever he arrives from work, he always has some fries and spaghetti for me. Then, he'll sleep for the next four hours and prepare himself to go to school.Meanwhile, at school, he said that he and his brothers are okay with each other since that's the only time Dan can see Daniel personally without their father's interruption. Since Dan left the mansion, Daniel was surrounded by guards, ensuring that Dan could not approach him.Sir Danilo was so strict about his words, but maybe it's his way of making his son realize that Da
DANRIOUS POV❦❦❦It's been a month since Runo and I started living in this tiny apartment, and in that month, I've been experiencing hell. I'm already used to this place and even at work since it's much better than nothing. However, there's been a problem lately. I noticed that in these past few days, Runo's attitude toward me started changing."Get out of my sight! You're making me feel sick!" Runo grumpily said in my face, even though I did not do anything to her. She's been like this lately, getting irritated at me for an unknown reason.She kept glaring at me the whole time that we were together. Then, she'll start throwing tantrums or lose her appetite while I eat with her.Today is Sunday and my day off. Also, the doctor that Aunt Rose's acquaintance will be coming over to check Runo's condition.Perhaps I could ask the doctor why Runo's having a lot of mood swings lately? I'm pretty sure it's not because she has her period because she's pregnant. So, how come she's only acting
E P I L O G U E❦❦❦She peacefully sleeping beside me, utterly exhausted from our night together. I gaze at her face, blissfully asleep as if nothing had happened between us."Oh, Gabs, you're so adorable," I whisper, gently brushing aside a few strands of hair that cover her face. I consider leaning in for a kiss but realize it would be even more delightful when she wakes up, so I let her continue her peaceful sleep.Well, I suppose any woman who spends the night with me would inevitably tire herself out. Ahem, that's right, I'm Daniel Lockhart, exceptionally skilled in such matters. Almost everyone dreams of being with me at night and serving me.But of course, I would devote my heart and body solely to this woman."Daniel, are you done massaging Gabs?" my annoying twin interrupts, ruining my night. Danrious is such a troublemaker, always trying to meddle in things, especially when I want to have Gabs all to myself by my side."Yes, but she didn't want me to touch her legs and arms.
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦He gazed at the man kneeling in front of him, and I could see his clenched fist trembling, but I couldn't find any trace of emotion on his face.It seemed like he had nothing else to say, and even I didn't know how to act in this situation."Stand up there." We both looked at Gabs, who was now glaring fiercely at him.He quickly obeyed Gabs' command and stood in front of him, and I was suddenly startled when Gabs kicked the man in his groin without warning."Argh!" he gasped in pain, contorting while holding his groin, his legs folding under him, but it didn't change Gabs' expression."I said stand up," he said softly, and the man struggled to stand in front of him."That's not enough." And he kicked the man's groin again forcefully, I couldn't tell if it was a kick or a stomp due to its sheer force.I couldn't bear to look at the man anymore because I felt that my own dignity was being hurt by what Gabs was doing."Ahh! Argh!" Even if he wanted to beg for it to stop,
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦The sun was setting, signaling the end of the day. I sat on a bench, patiently waiting for her to finish changing clothes.I glanced at the water, wondering why my vision seemed to be spinning. I struggled to breathe, feeling the familiar pang of thirst creeping up on me again.The crowd around me was bustling, and I could practically smell the blood coursing through their veins. Why is Gabs taking too long? I wanted to leave before anything happened to me.I felt powerless to control my thirst at that moment."Senpai?" I turned to her, forcing a smile. She came and stood beside me, gently touching my forehead."You seem unusually pale. Are you okay?" I nodded and invited her to return to the car."Let's go home," I said, and she quickly followed. She supported me as we walked, and my vision was spinning.Why do I tire so easily now? Is my heart still lacking the blood it needs to heal?I got into the car and immediately searched for my blood drugs. Seeing my panic, s
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦Riding in a tinted car, dressed in a sleek black long-sleeved shirt, sporting sunglasses and a face covered in sunblock.That's my get-up today, with all sorts of creams applied to my body to combat the sun, courtesy of the vampires, but I'm still nervous about what Gabs has planned for me.I was just joking when I mentioned wanting to take a dip at the beach, but it seems like he actually took it seriously.Is he seriously plotting to eliminate me so that he can finally rid himself of the annoying tag-alongs and followers?Well, Gabs seems to be taking full advantage of my love for him because even though I'm terrified of daylight, I'm willing to do this for him."Are you ready, Senpai?" he asked, while scanning the road ahead."I'm not ready to die yet! I still want us to have a family, Gabs!" He laughed and glanced at my phone.He held it and took charge of navigating the way to the resort he wanted. Damn, I should have written my final instructions to Kuya and Dan
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦A week has passed since Papa talked to us, and I'm not sure if that's really his plan because to me, it seems too weak and easily manageable.I understand Gabs' situation, and it's not her fault that her past is like that, so I'm not really affected by what I've learned.In fact, it seems like the two of us have become even closer because of what Papa did. He was too lenient in tormenting me, unlike what he did to Danrious.Perhaps he's so furious with Kaelyn because she's Tita Rose's daughter from his first marriage.I walked down the hallway, carrying the books I borrowed from the library. The final exams are approaching, and even though I might be a vampire, I still need to study to interact with people.I looked at my arm, which was growing pale, with my green and violet veins prominently visible.Glancing at the clock as I passed by, I realized it was already morning, and I needed to hurry home.Lately, my body has been weakening, perhaps due to the accident that
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦We walked together out of the mansion as the dawn approached, and I needed to accompany her before my father could come up with any of his schemes.I kept my head down as we walked, not wanting to speak or engage with her, even though I had wanted to ask her about her confession for a while now.Truthfully, I could hear the words "I love you" in my mind."Sh*t," I covered my mouth because just thinking about what she said earlier made it impossible for me not to smile like a fool here."Senpai?" she asked, and I avoided looking at her. I didn't know why, but it turned me on whenever she called me Senpai.And she looked even more, put together now, wearing feminine attire. She had a strong presence, even when she entered school wearing pants, but seeing her in her first-ever female uniform, was triple the impact."Oh?" I asked seriously, of course pretending to be cool. It would be difficult if she found out how deeply I had fallen for her."I'm sorry for not asking pe
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦He has been tailing me since earlier, from the moment I entered until now, during lunch break. The students are watching us, and I have no idea if someone here was sent by my father to keep an eye on me.That's why I still haven't paid attention to him, even though he looks so cute right now with his hair tied to the side in a way that I don't know who did it, and I might have to pay a large sum to whoever did it because it looks amazing!I think I'm going crazy with just trying to fix this girl up because it feels like she's glowing even though it's nighttime now, and I feel like there are flowers around us even though we're in the hallway and it's breezy. I'm going crazy with the repeated image of her in my mind, even though we're facing away from each other now."Arrghh," I pulled my own hair in frustration and stopped walking."Senpai, are you okay?" How can I be okay when you're so cute, and I want to keep you close to me?"No, I have a headache," it hurts from t
DANIEL's POV❦❦❦I ushered her into the room and let the door swing open, catching a whiff of Gabs' scent and drawing closer to us. It meant she followed us and was curious about what was happening."Wait, even in this room? Is it okay?" I grinned and kissed her neck."Well, I don't care," I said, planting more kisses down her neck."Oww," she uttered softly, and I cautiously checked if anyone was peeking through the door. To my surprise, she was watching while sipping her milk!I felt annoyed but couldn't resist kissing this girl whose name I had forgotten."Wow, I guess you bring many girls here," she said while playfully reaching for my necktie."Hahaha, yeah, I didn't count, though," I said, unbuttoning her blouse.I was somewhat enjoying what I was doing, not because of this girl, but because I thought she might be getting jealous. So I looked at her again, and she was eagerly drinking the milk, which seemed empty now.I bared my fangs and kissed her neck once more, sinking my fa
DANIEL's POVAfter that incident, I began distancing myself from him.I spent weeks locked in my room, unable to have a proper conversation with my brother, and Rious was nowhere to be found.My dad cut off all connections with Rious. He deactivated all of his credit cards and blocked all phone connections between us.I couldn't go out or even offer any help to my twin. They are suffering now because he chose to live a difficult life rather than the wealth our father had.I felt a deep sense of despair seeing my missing mother. I thought she had simply left us and gone with someone else, but it turns out she was all this time hidden away in a small box.She was confined there with the heads of various men, and I almost went crazy upon learning this. But my brother also stood by me, mourning for his mother.Together, we buried their bodies, and my brother spoke to me, saying that if we let our dad win, it would be the end for us. So here I am now, trying my best to stay strong.From no
