CHAPTER ONE

I've always dreamed about finding my true love but falling in love with a handsome vampire was a shocker.

He was handsome, dark and mysterious.

His eyes were always on mine, but he always acted cold towards me.

I don't know what I did to deserve such inhumane treatment from him.

But I got my answer the day I sneaked into his strange home with my little puppy Bingo.

I grasped a broken photo frame that Bingo had knocked off the table. I cleared off the broken glasses carefully.

My eyes widened in shock when I saw the photo.

It was a picture of a girl with dark brown hair and hazel eyes just like mine. The most weird part was that she looked exactly like me.

She was wearing a white sparkling wedding dress and a man with black curly hair had wrapped his arms lovingly around her.

It was Hayden.

This was a wedding photo taken 18 years ago.

Someone snatched the photo from my hands when I turned around, and I met Hayden's angry gaze.

“What are you doing here?!” He growled furiously.

“ Who is Azalea and why does she look like me?” I demanded furiously.

I swallowed hard.

Furthermore, I think I might have discovered the biggest secret ever.

HAYDEN'S POV

I was slowly dying inside miserably watching her everyday.

Seeing her face constantly brought back memories of Azalea making me realize that she was here and that she wasn't part of my life.

She was gone.

The girl next door had greatly intrigued me and I didn't know why I was so drawn to her despite the burning hatred and anger inside me.

Elizabeth looked exactly like Azalea, my late wife and Theodora's mother.

She was the definition of perfect.

I took slow breaths to try and calm myself down and lastly relax.

When I looked outside the window again she was there yet again smiling the smile that did many things to me that words can't explain.

Why did she have to be so perfect?

Why did she have to look like my Azalea?

Her brown eyes met mine and her smile slowly disappeared.

She hated me because I was a monster that had hurt her despite that she was innocent.

I had vented out all my anger and frustrations on her. I plugged my earphones and played my favorite lyrics. Maybe they would help me clear my thoughts.

Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

I bet you don't kiss her with your eyes closed

I bet you're still walkin' on a tightrope

Miss me so much, you've been goin' psycho

You ain't gotta say it, baby, I know

It's a thin line between all this love and hate

And if you switch sides, you're gon' have to claim your place

So baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate

Yeah baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate

And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

Hate me, hate me, tell me how you hate me

Tell me how I'm trash and you could easily replace me

Tell me that I'm strung out, wasted on the daily

Prolly 'cause there's no one around me numbin' all my pain

Prolly 'cause there's no umbrella to shield me from all the rain

Probably because you're the one playin' the mind games

You hate me because I don't let you play no mind games

They give me migraines and damage my brain

Date me, break me, easily replace me

Hopefully you see it clear, hopefully it's HD

Bet you wonder why the last few months I've been spacey

In your head, I sing

And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

It's a thin line between all this love and hate (Okay)

And if you switch sides, you're gon' have to claim your place (Okay)

So baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate (Okay)

Yeah baby, this time you're gon' have to seal your fate

And tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

Tell me how you hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me

Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me

Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

Tell me how you hate me

Lies, tell me lies, tell me how you hate me

Tell me how you hate me

Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me

The word "sorry" would ever leave my lips despite my arrogance and ego. I would never apologize to her.

It was better that we didn't cross paths and that we never talked to each other.

For a while we just stared at each other I blinked twice and she frowned at me.

"Go home Elizabeth."

Her lips twitched with her anger and her mouth turned into a thin line.

"No. I am definitely not going home and you won't dare boss me around Hayden" she fired back fiercely.

I shut down my mind and her thoughts got blocked. The last thing I wanted to do was start a fight that won't end well especially for the both of us.

I closed the curtains and went back to my bedroom. Luckily Theodora was asleep in her room.

I sighed deeply and opened the door.

I slumped on the bed gazing up at the ceiling.

What if mother was right.

What if it was possible to find love again? The mere thought of having someone replace Azalea shattered me and ignited a fire that I've tried to extinguish for years,but surprisingly it always burned and it burned me in the process as well. 

The feeling didn't settle well with me.

Even though I'm not supposed to feel anything it always left a bitter taste in my mouth.

No.

I couldn't replace Azalea in just a blink of an eye.

She was my beginning and ending.

She meant everything to me.

And I still miss her.

I loved her first,but now I'm broken and I can't fix this.

My broken self.

"Sometimes forever, doesn't necessarily mean forever."

Those promises still haunted me like dark rain clouds hovering over me.

I lost her.

ELIZABETH'S POV

I still didn't get what I did wrong to Hayden. Yet my stupid boyish crush wouldn't go away sometimes I wondered maybe it was more than a crush.

Maybe I loved him.

Love.

Nah. I couldn't possibly love him after all he has done to me.

I hated him even if he made me ache in places that I never knew.

Being attracted to him was a dangerous and reckless decision. It was too risky playing his mind games was fun and intriguing,but it was dangerously hot just like a flame.

I would only get burned in the end.

It wasn't worth it.

He means nothing to me and I resent him with every fiber inside me.

Yes.

A pleased grin curved my lips.

It was settled.

No more mind games especially with Hayden.

What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing.

But why I'm I so freaking nervous all of a sudden?

TWO HEARTS ONE IMMORTAL.

HOW IT ACTUALLY BEGAN.

"Doctor is my daughter going to be fine?" Verona sobbed miserably. But the doctor shook his head negatively.

"Madam she's in a bad condition I can't say anything right now."

The nurses wheeled Elizabeth Jones into the operation theatre. Verona kept pacing around the hospital halls anxiously.

FLASHBACK

Elizabeth was only 18 years old. She had brown hair and hazel eyes. She was a very slender girl. She was studying at Winston Academy rewriting her Biology paper since she hadn't gotten very good grades.

ELIZABETH

"Selena just texted me the address of the boutique. I'll be there in exactly thirty minutes," I said quietly while smiling.

" Fine" Lena muttered at the other end.

My two best friends Selena and Lena were twins.

I smirked and hung up with a small sigh placing my phone back in the console.

Traffic lights were approaching and I stepped on the brakes,but the car didn't stop or slow down.

My heart pounded my chest.

I was heading the wrong lane.

I screamed in fear as my car collided with another vehicle which was blue in color.

I blacked out when I felt glass shattering and my body laying on the concrete pavement.

Before my eyes closed I caught a glimpse of charcoal gray eyes.

He was trying to reach me.

"A-Azalea..."
