Lars looked down at the woman who had been his wife of three years. The hair obscured the red pupils, unable to see the emotions.
Just as Lars was about to open his mouth, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, causing the delicate curtains to be lifted, opening the way for moonlight, the only source of light now.
Under those white rays, a mysterious blue appeared right in front of Keelin's chest.
Lars did not push her away, he got down on one knee, reaching for her neck.
Noticing Lars' unusual behavior, Keelin jumped. She let go of his hand, and hurriedly stepped back, looking at the person in front of her with warning eyes.
“Lars… you… what are you going to do to me? I tell you, even if I die, I wouldn't choose to die that way." Keelin said panicking. Her mind automatically recreated the footage of the other man being grabbed by Lars and sucked his blood to death.
Keelin's face was white.
She did not want to die, and she did not want to die like that.
“Calm down.” Lars' voice turned unusually gentle.
“How can I be calm right now!” Keelin almost shouted.
The person she loved with all her heart, the husband who lived with her for three years was a vampire, a bloodsucker to maintain life. So, tell her how to calm down.
Keelin sobbed in helplessness.
“Please Lars… I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have seduced you, shouldn't have tied you up, shouldn't have used that first night to take away your freedom… shouldn’t love you…”
“Stop, Keelin Morales ... please stop!” Lars snapped.
“I do not allow you to say those words. Keelin, I'm not going to kill you, how could I do that to you?” Lars' arms wrapped around Keelin's shoulders, his voice carrying an undetectable tremor.
Keelin forgot to cry because of Lars's words just now. She opened her glittering, watery eyes and looked at the man opposite with amazement.
He never told her that. Never before.
Lars lowered his head slightly to hide his red eyes, he took a deep breath and said,
"So that, Keelin, can you calm down now?"
Keelin nodded slightly. Her panic had passed. No matter what, Lars is still the person she once loved and trusted the most in this world, the moment she was close to death, it didn't matter if she believed one more time.
As if sensing that nod, Lars loosened his grip.
“Tell me, where did you get this necklace?” Lars held up the teardrop necklace.
Keelin subconsciously put his hand in front of her chest, not knowing how he managed to get her necklace.
But it doesn't matter how and for whatever reason, what matters now is Keelin's little life. She did not dare to hesitate, but immediately replied:
“This is… when I was ten years old, a man gave it to me”
“Why did he give it to you?”
“Because I saved his life.”
Lars was silent.
His face was covered by his hair so Keelin couldn't see his expression. Because of that, she was extremely worried, just afraid that she would say something wrong and then immediately draw blood.
Suddenly, Lars looked up at Keelin, a familiar face with a strange expression that Keelin had never seen before.
He smiles, smiling mouth, smiling eyes, a light smile that comes from the heart and carries affection. The red color of his eyes seemed to become brighter because of the joy in his heart.
Keelin stopped in surprise, whole body still in a statue-like posture.
"Kee, I'm not going to kill you, this is Lars Ramos' oath of honor," Lars said, the smile still not completely gone but the words carrying a surprisingly firm look.
Keelin seemed to have received an amnesty, her whole body breathed a sigh of relief.
But before Keelin could regain her usual composure, she suddenly fell into an embrace. A familiar scent hit her nose.
Keelin immediately felt tense:
“Lars, you… you said you wouldn't kill me”
“Yes, but I did not say I would let you go.”
Keelin raised an eyebrow, her eyes barely meeting the lips that she had been infatuated with day and night.
"What do you mean?" Keelin asked
“You already know my true identity. You think I'll let you run around after this happens? No, of course not” Lars whispered in Keelin's ear.
Keelin shrank back involuntarily.
Lars laughed lightly, he tilted his head, bit Keelin's earlobe lightly, and said:
"Kee, you've taken three years of my marriage. From today, give it back.”
Keelin pushed Lars away, who shivered in disbelief:
"What did you say?"
Lars stood up, straightening his collar, and said:
“Now, I can open the door and let you out right away, instead, you have to agree with me on three conditions.”
“Three conditions?” Keelin was starting to feel like she was being tricked. She forced herself to stand up.
Lars nodded:
"Right. First, don't tell anyone about my true identity."
"Okay" Keelin immediately agreed, she was lucky to be able to save her life, without him reminding her, she did not intend to say it.
“Secondly, you will continue to be my wife for another three years.”
Without giving Keelin time to refute, Lars continued:
“This is just an oral promise, it's not certain that I can control your mouth at all. If I don't let you be by my side, I'm really insecure."
Keelin silently looked into the darkness. What Lars said was not without foundation, she really couldn't control her mouth. Whenever something happened, even if it was a shocking secret, she couldn't help but tell it all to Eira.
For life, Keelin finally nodded.
She's been here for three years now, three more years won't matter.
Lars smiled with satisfaction.
“And the third thing?” Keelin asked.
“I can't think of it right now, I'll tell you later.”
Lars took a step forward, and Keelin took a step back. Until her back hit the door, he raised his hand, perfectly forming an angle around her.
Feeling the familiar scent of perfume mixed with the smell of blood, Keelin began to tense up again.
“You… what are you doing? stay away from me for a bit. Didn't we make it clear already?”
Lars leaned down slightly, his eyes looking straight at her eyes’ height.
“Kee, remember. If you break this deal, I'll keep you locked up in this room for the rest of your life. You won't be able to see friends and family, won't be able to shop freely. You know ‘what’ I am, so you know what I can do.”
Keelin nodded vigorously
At this point, Lars just left her. He took a step back and said:
“Everything will be the same, now you can go.”
“You… keep calm. I'm leaving now," Keelin said quickly and immediately opened the door and ran out.
Watching the shadow of the girl running away, Lars's lips curled up slightly:
"Kee, I have given you the freedom you want. You want to get into this cage yourself. Can't blame me."
Finn glanced back and forth, he breathed a sigh of relief before carefully walking to the side of the half-open door of the room.
Seeing Lars standing silently looking in the direction Keelin had just left, Finn asked worriedly,
"Sir, how are we going to handle this?"
Lars shook his head:“For the time being, leave her alone. Get ready, tomorrow we will start our business trip to the eastern city.”“Didn't you say next week?” Finn startled and asked“Do you have an opinion?”“No, I'll go get ready.” Finn did not dare say much. He looked up and peeked at Lars's face to make sure everything was fine before he left with peace of mind.Finn had just taken a step when Lars said again:“Let's clean up the 'garbage' in there first. Be careful next time.” Lars's gaze turned sharp. No one know when, he stepped out of the room, the light outside made the bloody clothes stand out even more.Finn trembled, and he lowered his head. This time Keelin to enter that room, he was the biggest culprit. Luckily, she was special to Lars, otherwise, if the person who entered was someone else, it would be difficult to imagine the outcome.If that had happened, there would have been not one but two corpses in that room at that time.Finn clutched the document, lowering his
A long love affair that lasted for several years without any results, everyone thought that Keelin was the one who sacrificed the most, loved the most but few people knew, the first person to be touched was Lars, the man who stand in power and money.More than three hundred years ago, the noblest vampire, the first son of the vampire ruler of the east, Lars Ramos was born. Born to be the one above all, with noble blood in him, Lars despised everything, not letting anyone in his eyes. He only aims for money and power, not interested in anything else.An arrogant, conceited prince gradually grew up in the fear of everyone. Of course, it's not natural that people treat Lars like that. He is a vampire with extremely powerful and rare abilities. At his peak, he alone could push up to a hundred vampires, something that few even the king of the time, Stephen Ramos, couldn’t do.Until Lars' 131st birthday, a dark force suddenly appeared, attacking the eastern land. Because of disrespecting th
It was not that Keelin was intentionally drunk, but she was drunk by her friends.And Lars, the quiet student at that time looked at her so drunk that her face turned red, so he couldn't control himself.After that night, Lars immediately regretted it. He was afraid that she would hate him because of this accident and avoid him. But unexpectedly, the situation completely deviated from Lars's prediction, Keelin took advantage of this incident to force him to get married.'Forced' but Lars was overjoyed, for the first time in nearly three hundred years he felt that joy, a joy that spread from within. But in both joy and fear, Lars did not forget, that he was a vampire, but Keelin was just an ordinary human, two people incapable of coming together. He wanted to be comfortable in love with her, but he dared not approach her. Therefore, despite being married for three years, he still kept his cold attitude and never slept with her again.Seeing Keelin helpless and sad, Lars was heartbroken
Isolde didn't think Keelin would take such a sudden move. She fell to the floor, rolled her eyes, and looked up at Keelin in shock, her eyes filled with anger and hatred. "You …" "You what?" Keelin smirked, she looked at Isolde fearlessly and said: “If a servant is not as fast as a dog, what is the need of a servant? I'd rather buy a dog to run, it's more effective than you, it's cheap and reasonable, and it's not like someone else uses the eyes of the enemy to look at the owner. Sassy" Keelin's steely voice and strong aura not only shocked Isolde, but also made Sera dumbfounded. She didn't know that Keelin also had this side, and for a moment a feeling of joy spread in her heart. It seems that the boss really has eyes for people, this girl is really not as weak as she seems. After a few seconds of surprise, Sera gave a reassuring smile and then stood to the side, leaving the decision to Keelin in full control. After receiving a slap from Keelin, seeing Sera's humorous smile an
Hearing the familiar voice, Keelin remained in the same position, not turning her head. Only Martin turned to look, he bowed his head:“Mr. Ramos, good morning. I'm the garden designer, Martin.”Lars glanced at Martin and then at Keelin, but all he saw was her straight back.Lars walked over to the tea table, still wearing his suit, apparently, he came looking for Keelin as soon as he got back from a business trip. But unlike the image he imagined in his head, Keelin was no longer happy, running to the gate to welcome him like before. Lars couldn't help but feel disappointed.Sensing Martin backing away and Lars pausing beside the table, Keelin flipped through the catalog pages and said coldly:"You are home? Welcome back”Although it was 'welcome', Lars couldn't hear any cheerfulness in those words, and suddenly felt angry."Aren't you here to welcome me?"At this time, Keelin looked up at Lars, no longer with a passionate gaze, no longer attached, nostalgic, but simply like long-tim
Seeing Keelin's disappointed look, Lars felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He took a deep breath and spoke in a serious voice:"Kee, I didn't choose to pursue you because you knew my true identity at all."“Then why?” Keelin asked immediately, tears streaming down her cheeks."Calm down, Kee"Lars helped Keelin sit down on the sofa. Looking at her red eye sockets, his heart ached, he reached out his hand to wipe the tears that were falling from her eyes in a very gentle way.Seeing Lars care about her like that, Keelin really didn't feel familiar. These things she had dreamed of before, but she did not have them. Then why would he suddenly act like this without any purpose?Lars got Keelin a glass of water. Waiting for her to finish drinking, he timidly asked"Are you calm?"Keelin didn't answer, just nodded.Seeing that, Lars whispered in relief. He reached his hand toward her neck.Seeing this action of Lars, Keelin was startled, and moved her body slightly to the right, stretc
Keelin stopped, she turned to face Lars and said seriously "Truth? Lars, so let me ask you one thing, why is it your destiny as a vampire to be an ordinary girl like me? You're immortal but I'm not, can that be considered a lifetime? It's my life, not yours." “Keelin, no, that…” Lars wants to explain but Keelin doesn’t let him do that "Enough. Let's stop here, Lars." Keelin said emphatically, "I'm human, so I'm going to live with human customs. Yes, I used to love you and married you, but that is the past. Now we're divorced, that's all, nothing matters anymore." With that, Keelin untied the necklace in front of Lars' panicked gaze. “If this necklace is already yours, I will return it to you. And, by the end of three years, we won't owe anyone anything. Okay?" “No way.” The necklace that Keelin had just taken off was immediately waved by Lars and returned to stay on Keelin's neck. "You want to deny the relationship with me, that will never happen. " Keelin looked at Lars, her e
He walked over and put his arm around Keelin's waist and said:“If she wants it, I will immediately arrange the wedding, twice as big as before.” Because that time was a hasty wedding, and Lars always tried to suppress his emotions, so everything was organized very simply, it doesn't take long, and friends aren't invited much either. This is the thing that Lars feels sorrow at and regrets the most, he always wants to make up for Keelin with a big wedding but has not had the opportunity.It's just that, when this word fell on Clara's ears, it was like an atomic bomb“You… what are you saying? Aren't you two divorced? Don't you just like her?"Keelin pushed Lars's hand away, and she turned the other way, not bothering to face him. Lars looked at her indulgently and said: “It is true that we are divorced but who says we cannot remarry. As for the fact that I don't like her… who said that? I've never said that I don't like her before." “But you… your attitude…” Clara frowned in disappr
