She had no idea what had woken her up in the middle of the night. This was not something she did on a regular basis. Vanity was raised and trained to do things in a systematic manner. She lived her life as if she were some kind of robot from the moment she remembered her own memories, which was around twelve years old, and she didn't feel any remorse for it.
She understood why her parents treated her like that as a child born into a powerful family. She was a daughter, and she had a responsibility that did not allow her to embarrass her family.
She was taught about etiquette and other ridiculous things from a young age so that she would not be an embarrassment when she faced society and married her fiancé.
She was engaged to Norman Sheppard when she was quite young; he was a handsome young man who she admired. She didn't want to embarrass him, so she worked hard to be someone who will be by his side when the time comes.
THREE DAYS LATERShe was so exhausted from running that she couldn't help but stop at the cliff's edge to catch her breath. The only place she could think of to flee after being pursued for three days with nowhere to go was here.In her hour of need, she had summoned that man, the man she had been engaged to since she was a child, the man she had given her heart to, to come and rescue her from this nightmare.She would not have dared to tell him about her whereabouts if she had known she had been duped by this man and his so-called family. Because of her stupid mistake, she watched nervously and fearfully as he approached her with a snarl on his face.She never imagined a day like this would come. She had nowhere else to run, she had exhausted all options, and the only thing that awaited her was death.“You should be aware that your presence is a hindrance to everything for whi
A group of people sat with sullen expressions in a large sitting room, having some refreshments.Kelly Wagner was unsure whether she should be pleased or concerned about her son's current progress. She was a mother who adored her children, but she adored Chandler even more because she knew there was nothing else she could do for him.It's been a few hours since Chandler's wedding was announced to the family. To be honest, the news surprised everyone because Chandler's situation was not kept a secret in the family, even though it was a taboo subject.No one was allowed to talk about it or they would face family punishment.Kelly found herself silently crying as she reflected on her unfortunate son. When Heidi was born, the entire family rejoiced, but when the curse caught up with him, they realized that there was no hope of ever having another child from him.The Wagner family had a long history and was considered old money. Every family in town had
Chandler had no choice but to create a clone to extract blood and cells in order to cure their beloved daughter. He slammed his hand on the desk, enraged. She, too, was a human being; nothing about her screamed clone, so why did they treat her that way?Chandler was a fiery and hot tempered kind of guy, and learning about his wife's background shook him to his core. He knew that if he wanted to know the truth, he had to either kidnap a member of the Drysdale family or question Vanity herself.But by asking her, he would be putting everything on the line, and he didn't want to bring up those bad memories. He'd witnessed her being tormented by her nightmares. He didn't feel good about the potholes in Vanity's life because he was a businessman who was used to having complete control over everything.He now has some information about her clone's identity, but he has no idea how she became a vampire. He deduced from her gibberish that they attempted to kill her and t
Vanity entered the master bedroom quickly and went straight to the bathroom to refresh herself because she was so sticky and sweaty after all that running. She also needed to get rid of the lingering scent of blood on her. Her husband was born with a keen sense of smell.Vanity tossed the clothes into the laundry basket after checking for signs of blood; when she didn't find any, she tossed them and stood beneath the shower head, letting the warm water kiss and caress her body. As she stood in the shower, enjoying the way the water cascaded down her body, she smiled as she looked at the marks her husband left on her body every night.With the frequency with which they had sex, she would have conceived by now if she were a normal woman, but it's too bad she's just a woman who will never be able to hold a baby in her life. She was fated to be alone, which is why she accepted Chandler's proposal despite knowing her true identity.After splashing body wash on her ha
It took him some time to get to her, but it was too late. She didn't want to see him again. He didn't want to kill her; he wanted to keep her alive, study her, and possibly use her as a shield in the future if things went bad with the Drysdale’s.He knew there was no turning back the moment she fell off the cliff. He even searched for her for days, but all he found was blood and shredded clothing. Her body was nowhere to be found; there was no report of a body washing up on the shore, which could only mean she was dead and gone. Her body had been devoured by sea creatures, and no one was going to derail his plans.The clone's death also provided Douglas with something to threaten him with. They were now on the same boat, and their fates were intertwined. When he saw the real Gwen, who had been sleeping for years, he couldn't believe it. They were so similar to each other that they could be mistaken for twins, just like the clone he had been used to.Despit
The young lady was staring at herself in the mirror. Everyone loves her and worships the ground she walks on, but she is extremely frustrated.Whatever she wanted, she got it no matter what, but having this man with whom she was head over heels didn't feel quite right to her. For three years, she had tried to smile and push the whole thing to the back of her mind, but she couldn't.For years, an imposter had been living in her place, stealing her friends, family, and even her fiancé. Even if the wench was no longer alive, she didn't feel any better about the situation. She had been dying to see that person, but she was killed before she could express her rage.She wanted to show her how she was able to get everything back in the end despite having nothing. Why should she be grateful to her when she was the reason the clone existed in the first place? She was supposed to be a good girl and follow the rules.Gwen Drysdale had become a celebrity or a
She needed resources to get there, and those resources can only be obtained through money and connections. Because the industry was so corrupt, simply having talent was ineffective. If you have money and connections, your status will rise steadily.When she compared her own family to the Sheppard’s, she didn't need to be told about the disparity between the two families, so even if Nolan didn't love her, she was going to take advantage of what he could give her to better her own life. It would be fantastic if she could conceive an heir for him, which would solidify her position in the family.She sat in the bridal room, a smile on her face, as the ladies congratulated her repeatedly. How could she not see that they were only there to adorn her and were not genuine?It was finally time for her to go to the hall where she would finally marry the man she loves. She smiled as she approached her father, who was waiting for her at the door to walk her down the a
“Are you attempting to curse me?Even if you dare, he's mine, and he'll never be able to be with you in public. You will die and be resurrected as a mistress!” Gwen was enraged, and it was a good thing there were only the two of them in the room because she would have lost her cool.“Would you like to place a wager with me?” Clara asked, a cunning smile on her face.“How much do you want to bet?”“I'm curious where the young master is going to spend the night!”Gwen couldn't have been unaware of Clara's remark after hearing it. Did she intend to turn herself into a clown on her wedding night?“You..’“Everyone is waiting for you to come out, let's go,” Clara said as she walked out of the room, completely ignoring Gwen. Gwen became enraged and stomped her phone on the ground.It took her two minutes to calm down before she joined the rest of the guests in the
