All Chapters of A Vow Stained in Blood: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When Jamie finally opened her eyes again, it was a good half an hour later.Slowly, her memories came back to her, and Xavier's handsome face also appeared in her field of vision.Jamie immediately sat up straight. Xavier observed quietly the way Jamie reacted to his presence. However, his emotions didn't flicker."Are you behaving like this because of your upcoming SATs? Is it because of the stress?" Xavier asked in a low voice. "Is that why you're thinking all sorts of nonsense?"Xavier neatly avoided talking about what happened before this. Instead, he thought of another possible reason Jamie might have acted like that."Jamie, if the SATs are giving you too much pressure, I can always send you abroad anytime," Xavier said faintly. "I'll send you to the best college abroad. You'll be able to graduate as long as you show up for your classes."Xavier had already planned out Jamie's future for her.He was going to marry Andrea soon. So, he couldn't let Jamie stay by his side a

Jamie remembered everything clearly. Alvin had nearly given up on his own life fighting for her in her past life.She met Alvin during the year she was sent abroad to further her studies. According to her timeline, Alvin should be getting his documents ready now to study for his master's abroad.Alvin had started liking Jamie since she was in middle school. They were three years apart, so they had barely spent any time together. Their age gap was just too big, so there wasn't much that Alvin could do.However, when they both reunited abroad in Holston, Alvin had then actively started pursuing her.Jamie had always had her eyes only on Xavier. But whenever Xavier made her mad, she would automatically seek comfort from Alvin. Alvin knew that she was only treating him as a temporary replacement, but he never said a thing.After Xavier found out about Alvin, he started attacking him and making everything difficult for him. Xavier tried to destroy all of Alvin's career paths, but Alvin

Jamie lightly tapped on Alvin's phone screen and said, "You set my birthday as your lock screen password. It's 940326.""You're mistaken!" Alvin exclaimed in panic. He never thought that Jamie would catch on to such details.Jamie cocked her eyebrow and asked him straight, "Why don't you let me try unlocking it then, and we'll know for sure?"She plucked the phone from his hands as soon as she was done talking. Alvin didn't manage to react in time as she took his phone away."Jamie!" Alvin exclaimed as he tried to wrestle his phone back from her.However, Jamie had no intention of giving it back to him. It wasn't as though Alvin would really hit her.When he saw that Jamie was about to unlock his phone, his eyes turned solemn as he tightly gripped her wrists."Ow, that hurts!" Jamie cried out, her eyes instantly turning red. She was terrified of pain. Also, she had sensitive skin that would easily turn red at any sort of pressure."I'm sorry," Alvin said at once, rather shocked

"Where's your driver?" Alvin asked.Jamie blinked at him. She didn't look upset when she said, "You seem to have been observing me for a while. How else would you know that I had a driver?""The car's just too showy. I can't ignore it if I wanted to," Alvin answered faintly.Jamie hummed. "Well, I no longer have anything to show. I don't have a driver anymore."Alvin narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't quite understand what Jamie was implying."I'm an orphan. My parents died when I was five years old. One of my father's friends has been caring for me since then. However, that's not my home. I'm an adult now, so my uncle doesn't have to keep tabs on me anymore," Jamie explained lightly.Alvin was shocked.Before he could say anything, Jamie continued, "Also, I've been living by myself for nearly half a year. I've always been relying on myself, you know."Jamie sounded proud of herself. Alvin still looked shocked, but he didn't say anything.Jamie watched Alvin's reaction for

There wasn't a hint of joke or sarcasm on Jamie's face when she told Xavier about her plans.It was as if the bothersome crybaby of the little girl he knew had suddenly grown up overnight.Xavier swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing as he gradually calmed himself down.It was fine if Jamie wanted to stay in Asteria. At least he could still keep an eye on her. He forgot everything about swearing never to meddle in Jamie's life again because he wanted to take control of her life again once more.Xavier didn't linger on the matter anymore. However, his eyes were still sharp and piercing as he asked, "Who was that person you came home with?""He's a senior of mine. We were going home in the same direction, so we caught the bus together," Jamie replied, calming her nerves down."Same direction?" Xavier scoffed and burst out laughing. It was obvious that he didn't believe her.He was already 30 years old, so he could see through that young man's intentions right away. No matter how m
