"Are you really planning to expose our secret to our sources of food?" His father, Julian was staring intently over Jacob. He was still far from Jacob earlier but in the blink of an eye, Julian was in front of him and was staring at Jacob. Jacob did not fight back. He just let his father vent his anger. Julian slammed Jacob into the walls in the receiving area a few times. Several pillars were destroyed by the force of the impact but even with the slightest resistance, Jacob has not seen any kind of reaction and it inflamed Julian's anger even more. Sooner or later, Jacob will introduce Claire to his whole family. Not just now. Maybe when his father's anger subsided, and Jacob doesn't care if his parents object to what he does. In the hundreds of years of his life, he had never chosen his own happiness. Just now. Only now did Jacob feel such pleasure. Claire was always with him. Every time he touches her or even just watches her. Such a feeling is unusual. Jacob ignored it several t
Claire hugged the man waiting by her car—the handsome vampire Jacob. Five days without a sign from him since they came from Italy and what paranoia had entered her mind in the past few days. There she thought that maybe Jacob was turned off by her acting. Maybe suffocated and doesn't like the emo kind of a woman. Of course, Jacob is a vampire and lives on the battlefield. Maybe he doesn't like the fragile and heavy look of people like her, whose mood often changes when she remembers sad memories. She was also doubly afraid that Jacob may have completely disappeared from her life. "Where have you been? Why did you just show up now?" Claire asked with a mixture of sullenness and resentment while still hugging him tightly. She only let go of him when she was satisfied. But she was still holding tightly to his black leather jacket. "Relax! I'm not going anywhere," laughed Jacob, glancing at her hands clinging to his jacket. "You can't blame me. I've been going crazy waiting for you for
"I don't like him!" Claire turned to Doc Mia who still looked pissed off. But Claire can't be influenced by her friend's negative aura because she was overflowing with happiness last night. Jacob took her for a walk again in a spring field in China. It was worth it that they didn't spend together because that night was the source of all her longing for him. They hugged and talked in the middle of the flower field under the moon and stars. Claire is in the midst of studying Jacob's skin condition. She was happy that the vampire finally agreed to take skin samples and pictures of his cheek that had a skin reaction when it was hit by sunlight. "Isn't it clear to you that this is a vampiristic reaction?" Jacob said angrily as Claire took a picture of part of his face. "I don't think so, Jacob. Everything has an explanation. It just hasn't been discovered yet. And there's nothing wrong in hoping. Don't you want us to be together under the sun?" Jacob sighed. "You know the answer." Ther
"That child is getting crazy, Jessa!" Julian snorted angrily at his wife. Jessa did not speak. Only a sigh was released. "What? Do you have no intention of stopping your son? He's asking for his death if he follows that girl!" "Because he loves her…" Jessa took her eyes off to her daughter who was just staring into the dark space and faced her husband. "I know he wants what Claire wants too. He wants to live a normal life with the woman he loves." "Are you telling me that love is suicide? Love means death?" Jessa gave another sigh. "In their case, yes. Love for them also means death." "Then I won't allow that love between them." Julian's jaws were hard and angry. Even his flaming blue eyes were telling how much anger he had inside. "Only Jacob will decide about it. Let him know the consequences of his decision." "Damn! Your son doesn't think anymore! Are we going to act when he's in the claws of death?" Jacob could hear his parents' conversation even though they were on the to
Brought with extreme frustration and restlessness, Claire shook the papers that were on the countertop in their mansion. It was midnight and she was still continuing her research on Jacob's condition. It's been a month since the night she gave the folder to Jacob. And she regretted it too much. She missed him so badly. Claire closed her eyes tightly as she fixed her hair. Unconsciously, she stood up and went upstairs to her room. She went out to the veranda to let go of the bad feelings. On the many nights she misses Jacob, she looks up at the dark sky and thinks that they were both looking at it, watching the same moon, the same stars, and the same sky. But that is not enough. She wants to see the vampire. She wants to be with Jacob so badly. Claire was no longer aware of the tears running down her cheeks. That's how much she misses Jacob. It is not just plain sad anymore. She was now crying. "Jacob..." she said softly into the quiet night. "Please... come back to me. I won't force
Jacob felt his eyes heat up. Tears of anger and pain threaten Claire as the perpetrator. He trusted her but that would be the return. He still thought that somehow, Claire also had feelings for him. He thought that Claire was also happy to be with him always.But despite Jacob’s anger at Claire's greed, he was unable to harm the woman. Either way, it had a heavy weight for him. It must be a stupid thing, anger is overcome by intense love for her. He knew his family would never forgive Claire if they found out what she did to him. They might even kill the girl. And he couldn't harm Claire.So, until when? How long will he stand for stupidity?Jacob felt the bedroom door open and close. He pretended to sleep. They will definitely take samples from him again. And he was not mistaken when he felt the needle in his vein."Why is there no blood in here?"Jacob heard a mixture of surprise and amazement in the voice of the newly arrived foreign scientist."That's what I'm saying. He has no bl
The emergency alert of the room Jacob is in is loud. The apprentices began to panic as the monitor beeped and Jacob began to flatline. Doctors entered the room one after the other and tried to revive the body. But some CPR has been done. The maximum joules for defibrillation protocol have also been reached in those who have cardiovascular malfunction or cardiac arrest."What's happening? Why did he suddenly have a cardiac arrest?" a chemist asked in panic."We still don't know yet. We will find out later," replied the other who also reviving Jacob."Oh, hi, Claire!" greeted Doc Mia enthusiastically when Claire went to the house. They don't talk much anymore so he did it on purpose. She needs someone to talk to now and as the doctor said, she is always willing to listen to her.But Claire was surprised by the actions of the doctor. First, the guards guarded the area. Second, she hardly ever goes to the hospital where she works at. She used to stay in the hospital office more often than
Claire gasped as Gami let go of her hand. Her tears flowed again. She felt the pain in her chest from the past. The sins she committed. All the guilt and tiredness. Now, she is free from that life.But is her soul free from guilt? Did her death pay the guilt for the death of the vampire she loved? I do not think so. Why is her chest still heavy despite of everything?"Let me tell you how you ended your life," said Gami who started walking.Claire seemed to lose the ability to think and just followed. She accompanies the soul reaper in walking unlike other souls who are ahead of this soul reaper."Of course, I've been following you because I know it's your time. When you got to the place with the high cliff, you just left your car on the highway and approached the cliff. You apologized to Jacob several times before you finally jumped. When you fell down, your head hit a large chunk of rocks. Your skull was cracked. But then, the moment you landed, you didn't know that the vampire was f
