LOGINMirelle Sinclair never liked the idea of being in a relationship until her adoptive father forced her into an arranged relationship with someone from a more wealthy family. It was going well until she caught the so-called fiancee cheating on their engagement night with a maid. That made her feel worthless. She was miserable as she wouldn't be able to break up with him because of the benefits from the relationship. She ended up taking a careless decision to spend a night with a mysterious stranger as a step to revenge. But by morning, she discovers the man in her bed is Dr. Asher St. Ledger, the legendary neurosurgeon, and the powerful uncle to her fiancee who is also the one who can save her adoptive father’s life. It was like a nightmare to her, but it became worse when every time she told him to keep their night a secret, he still crawled back to her, refusing to let her go despite knowing she is his nephew’s fiancee. What happens when he becomes the only man she finds herself melting in his arms, but the world must not hear of their forbidden desires?
View MoreHaltz is the name of one of the three vampire clans in the world. They are the strongest vampire clan with the percentage of pure vampire blood reaching fifty percent in the main family.
Located in the south, Haltz is surrounded by an area of pine-dominated forests called the Silver Forest, a humid area. This area is also one of the three areas that are strictly forbidden to enter for humans.
Each vampire clan is led by one of the strongest vampires in the main family or is determined by the rules of a vampire committee called the Harawaltz. But in the unique case belonging to the Haltz clan, the first child chosen becomes the leader.
The leader of each clan is addressed by the title "Your Majesty", having almost the same status as "King". It follows the same governance procedures as the Aima Kingdom, a kingdom that collapsed ten centuries ago.
Just like the Aima Kingdom, the Majesty of each clan has a confidant or what is often called His Majesty's right hand. They are people who are elected based on trust, not based on politics or interests.
Each clan including Haltz, has its own territory, with a castle that stands in the area as a sign of ownership, and also each clan has an official symbol and name that is used in formal events or activities.
***
With a fifty percent percentage of pure vampire blood in their family, Haltz became the clan that dominated the other two clans. However, with Harawaltz, Haltz's dominance is limited.
Haltz's limited dominance also comes from a senior vampire who comes from a clan that has the weakest percentage of pure vampire blood, called Waltz. Nonetheless, this senior vampire had a sizeable role in Harawaltz.
The involvement and political manipulation carried out by the senior vampire put Haltz in a difficult position. Haltz must be smart to maneuver if they do not want to lose their dominance or even undermine their power.

MIRELLE'S POV I watched quietly, ignoring the way my body was shivering with horror.“Why do you think you can keep doing that to me? We are not even on good terms,” She whined, pushing his hand away when he tried to touch her again.“What does that have to do with me?” Lucas smirked flirtatiously.My skin crawled with disgust at the way they acted like a perfectly normal couple.This is literally a stepmother and son in a secret relationship that no one knows how long it has been going on!I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs, but I just wrapped my hand over my throat instead to stop myself from losing it. “You could have at least defended me when your father kept saying in my presence that Mirelle will soon become the madam of this house, even though he never allows me to have full control over the activities in here or fulfill any kind of intimate rights with me. I felt so insulted because he has always prioritized other women's needs and ignored me like a piece of trash.” S
MIRELLE'S POV All in all, ten years ago, Lucas was fifteen. So his father started making it clear that he had no say in his love life. How strange, and most importantly, why me? It's more concerning that he is opening up to me. Judging from the way he keeps stretching every word that comes out of his mouth, it's clear that he is currently under the influence of something. He doesn't sound normal. The wine that was served wasn't alcoholic. What could it be? “He is scared of losing you,” He began, his face twisting bitterly. “Really?” I let out a fake gasp just to keep the conversation going. “Yes. My father wouldn't be triggered by the whole relationship thing if it wasn't deeply important to him, and I guess it's all related to the empire that he holds dear to his heart.” Lucas shook his head, blinking his eyes drowsily. I think whatever was disturbing him has just begun to take a huge toll, because his forehead has become damp with sweat even though it's cold here. “Fathe
MIRELLE'S POV Lucas's father raised an eyebrow at his son, slightly pushing his jaw forward toward his wife in a way to silently ask what could be wrong with her. I shifted my eyes back to Lucas, who only shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he had no idea why his stepmother acted like that. I feel like it's because of my presence in the Villa tonight, or the joke about me becoming the mistress of the house soon. The elderly man walked forward, while we followed him behind. The moment I stepped into the huge villa, the cold air from the air conditioning brushed against my skin. The polished marble floor gleamed beneath the massive crystal chandelier, while expensive furniture and elegant decorations filled the spacious interior. We walked into the living room, where a long, luxurious couch sat in the middle beneath another beautiful chandelier. Everything smelled like money. Mr. St Ledger pointed towards one of the couches. “Both of you should sit down. We need to t
MIRELLE'S POV I couldn’t stop shaking after that little conversation with Asher. He caught me crying, and I was ashamed. I kept walking until I got to the side of the Villa that leads to the garden. I didn't want to go back there, and be with them. So, I turned to look at my reflection through the tinted window, noticing how teary my eyes had become. I quickly used my finger to wipe away every trace of tears, but my mind kept dragging me back to Asher.This was an opportunity to apologize to him, and it felt decent to do that now. It doesn't matter if things have ended between us, but it's better to admit to my mistakes. Without giving it a second thought, I turned around and started running back to the place he packed his car. I ignored the little pains in my stomach that were threatening to tear off my abdomen, and kept on dragging my legs forward. Asher was already in his car, and just as I got closer, he drove out past me at full force, but I think he saw me because he
