Chapter one hundred and nine. Unedited. Anastasia's POV. We arrive in the other room in no time, and rightly after, Madeleine moves to the kitchen space where we'd be making the cupcakes. For me, on the other hand, I couldn't help but feel delighted about this. I mean, after a hard lunch time of arguing with the two world's greatest annoying and cruel, cold-hearted Vampires who are supposed to rot in the deepest part of hell, I am now here to see the loveliest creation of cupcakes and then, also have the chance to eat them. I mean, how wondrous could today end with any more? By the way, I think we are in the evening at the moment. Time really flies so fast when you don't have anything that keeps you to wanting to keep on checking it. Anyway, a part of me actually does feel bad when I thought of Nicholas and Hillary in that manner. Of course, they are bad but then, who knows? I mean, I know I am not making sense, especially with me, accepting them one time and then, hating on th
Chapter one hundred and ten. unedited. Anastasia's POV. "Aw, thank you." I say to Ola when she drops a bowl in front of me with a smile on her face. Then she goes away and comes back not long after with a cup of milk, dropping it on the table. "Oh, please," she says when I give her a facial expression that says thank you. She rolls her eyes and then occupies a seat on the footstool next to me. Madeleine is just coming to join us as well. And on her hand is a bottle of something that I don't understand well. I have my eyes squinted on it, trying to make sense of what it is. Then, when she lands it on the table, I flare my eyes in astonishment. Oh, it seems someone knows how to have fun, for real, and is supposedly one hundred and seventy-nine years old at that. "Jeez, we aren't doing this, are we?" Question tags Ola from her spot. For a second, she looks over to me, and I shrug. Seriously, I have only spent less than two hours here, and I feel so at home. I feel so safe, so yes
Chapter one hundred and eleven. Anastasia's POV. I arrived in my own room not long after, which left me surprised, as I was expecting that it'd be slow. Anyway, a few seconds later, I am being laid on the bed by Mr. Meany. Surprisingly enough, he wasn't even as harsh with the way he handled my body as I had thought he would be. After he is done tucking me in, I lose all consciousness and fall asleep. At least, that is all I remember until I wake up again. The heat beats out beads of sweat from my forehead, seeping them out such that when I swipe my hands over my forehead, it is full of sweat. I am breathing heavily, and above all, I do not feel comfortable at all. I was bent over and trying to sit up when, finally, my brain understood one of the reasons why I was in a high heat. I take off the thick body cover and go into a sitting position. My mouth is dry, and I think I need something to drink, but I cannot find my way. Actually, tonight, the moon is reflecting into the ro
Chapter one hundred and twelve. Anastasia's POV. Grabbing Nicholas by the collar of his shirt, I bring him up such that he is halfway in a sitting position, supporting himself with the help of one of his hands, and at the same time, while he is kissing me hard, the other hand helps to cup my face. The kid between us is hungry, and he served me just the way that I had wanted. I move my bottom, allowing my waist to rotate, grinding against him. By the time I would break the kiss to breathe in some air, he would have adjusted himself to be more comfortable, and then, having seated himself more comfortably, he would have used both of his hands to cup my face. "Ana, what do you think you're doing?" Nicholas has questions, and I just shake my head. Then, frowning, I tilted my head to the side and said, "I... I don't even know." Let's just say that, finally, I kissed the one and only King of all Vampires' Kings—and you kissed me right back. Plus, we are both adults, so..."Can you even
Chapter one hundred and thirteen. Nicholas's POV. Nicholas's POV. My breathing hitches as the pain from the metal cutlery sinks into my skin. Surprisingly enough, I wasn't supposed to feel the kind of pain that I am feeling, but Anastasia's suggestion that perhaps I was attacked with it made the pain sink in through every fiber of my body. I watch as she slides down the wall, having fallen into a deep slumber, which I made her body react to. Then, staggering backwards, I scoff as my left hand comes to wrap around the metal, and then, without wasting time, I yank it out. I gasp for air and shake my head in negativity towards myself. I throw the metal cutlery away, and then, once my stomach has healed, I run to the closet and choose to put on nothing but a white singlet and a very tight short that stops around my thighs. Then, heading to the bathroom as quickly as I can, which is very fast, I cleanse my hands, and then, coming back to the room, I pick Anastasia up and lay her

Chapter one hundred and fifteen Anastasia's POV. Softly, my eyes open. I look around, and without any fear, I have recognized the room I am in. It is Nicholas's. I look around as I sit up with my hands supporting my change of position. My body feels sick. I think I might have malaria, and honestly, right now, I won't mind getting anything to drink—something hot, though. In fact, I need tea so badly. Having sat up and become comfortable, I stopped wandering my eyes and shifting my head from the left to the right the moment my sight zeroed in on Nicholas. He is in the room. I swear, I wasn't expecting it. Of course, it is his room, but does he even stay there except for the nights, which aren't even compulsory for him? I watch as he is asleep, or whatever it is they call it in the vampire language. He is slurping downwards such that his back is arched inside, and I am sure that for a human, they would have woken up in body pain from that position. I watch as his arms spread in
Chapter one hundred and sixteen Anastasia's POV. Hillary remains silent, not talking, and I, on the other hand, act like I do not care. He chuckles the moment I place the cup of tea close to my lips, and it burns. "Yeah, for someone as sadistic as you are, it's no big deal that you find that funny." I tell him, and his lips shift to the side. Oh, jeez. I think I might have offended him, but then, if I have, he does know how to hide it. He clears his throat as he walks over to my front. And then, collecting the cup of tea from me, he blows into it and gives it back to me. With hesitation, I look into it first, and then placing it close to my lips, I come to realize it's gotten warm and not hot like it was earlier. "Now, tell me, what is the catch?" Why are you being nice? I question him. And this time, I sound demanding, wanting nothing but an honest question. "I see you no longer consider me to be fair with you." "Well, when you think of it, is there a reason why you should?
