I Found Out My Vampire Husband Had a Secret Family, so I Faked My Death Chapter 12
Eleanor's POVMany years later, I rarely thought about the vampire realm anymore.Sometimes I even forgot I had once lived there for five years.Now I had my own career, my own friends, and my husband, James Carter, who truly stood by my side.My life was ordinary.When I woke in the morning, I didn't have to wonder whether my husband would come home that night.Before heading out, I didn't need to wait for anyone's message.At night, I didn't sit in the living room watching the hours tick by.I used to think that loving someone meant being willing to reshape your entire life for them.I later learned that the right person never requires you to keep sacrificing yourself to hold the relationship together.James remembered what I didn't like.He would make dinner when I was busy.When I was feeling low, he was always there beside me.These things were small.But after those five years, I finally understood how simple and precious it was to be genuinely cherished, to have someone answer y

Eleanor's POVI never expected to see Cassian again.And I certainly never expected him to come looking for me.For the past five years, he had always been close.So close I thought I only needed to reach out and I could hold onto him.But now, with him actually standing in front of me, a distance stretched between us that could never be crossed.I could no longer trust him. Just seeing him left me exhausted and shaken.When I opened the door, Cassian was standing there.For a second, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.He looked far more worn than I remembered.The heir to the throne who had always been calm and in control now stood before me, just looking at me.The pride was gone from his eyes.His habitual tenderness toward me was gone, too.All that remained was a cautious, searching look.As if one blink and I would disappear."Eleanor."He said my name.His voice was barely above a whisper.It was as if he needed to confirm that the person in front of him was real.I di

Cassian's POVAfter leaving Seraphina's, I sat alone in my study, staring at the investigation report on the desk.I had read every word on it many times over.But no matter how many times I looked, the result didn't change.Something was definitely wrong with Eric Vale's bloodline.I had always believed he was my son.I believed he had inherited my power.I believed he was the unbreakable bond between Seraphina and me.So when that unfamiliar feeling surfaced, my first instinct was to doubt myself.I even hoped that everything that had happened recently had simply thrown off my judgment.But now, all the evidence was laid out before me.I had ordered a full reinvestigation of every record created since Eric's birth.Bloodline tests.Medical files.The doctor who had conducted the tests.Every detail was reexamined.And that was when I found the problem with the family doctor.His account held a deposit from an untraceable source.The deposit had been made shortly after Eric's birth.T

Eleanor's POVThree months after leaving vampire territory, I rested peacefully in the sunlight for the first time.The curtains were open.Sunlight streamed through the glass onto my face.The warmth felt almost foreign.I opened my eyes and stared at the bright sky outside for a long, disoriented moment.In five years, I had nearly forgotten what sunlight felt like.The vampire realm was forever cold and dark.The sky was perpetually hidden behind heavy clouds.No lamp in that estate could ever replace the real sun.To stay by Cassian's side, I had forced myself to adapt to everything about that place.I learned to accept the endless nights.I learned to be a poised, elegant wife worthy of standing beside him.Back then, it never occurred to me that one day, simply standing in the sun would make me happy.I looked down at my hand.On my ring finger, a faint tan line remained where the ring used to be.But now, nothing proved I had ever belonged to him.Three months ago, I was the wif

Cassian's POVFifteen days after Eleanor's disappearance, I went to Seraphina's.I didn't tell her I was coming.Even as I left, I wasn't sure why I was going.I just felt like I needed to see her.For years, I had told myself that the woman I loved was Seraphina.My marriage to Eleanor was nothing more than an arrangement imposed by the Elder Council.She was the ideal candidate to marry the heir to the throne.She possessed the bloodline the Elder Council required.She was obedient, sensible, and never truly challenged my decisions.I had been telling myself this all along.So now that Eleanor was gone, I should return to my real life.I should go find the woman I truly loved.I should prove that the only reason I couldn't adjust to Eleanor's absence was five years of habit.But when I stood at the gate of Seraphina's estate, I paused.In the past, coming here had never made me feel this way.This used to be the most familiar place in my world.I had talked about the future with Sera

Cassian's POVBy the time I raced back to the estate, the fire had already consumed nearly half of it.The distant glow lit up the entire night sky.I stood there, staring at the familiar estate, and for a moment felt nothing at all.I only thought it was an inconvenience.The estate would need to be rebuilt.The Elder Council would have to send someone to investigate the cause of the fire.The servants stood at the entrance, trembling as they greeted me, their faces full of fear.I scanned the crowd but didn't see Eleanor.In fact, the phone call alerting me to the fire hadn't come from her.I frowned.She was probably just hurt.Or the guards had already gotten her out.I didn't consider any other possibility.Because in my mind, Eleanor was simply always there.For the past five years, she waited for me to come home every day. If nothing was going on at Seraphina's, I would stay and be with her.She would wait for me with that happy look on her face. She always did."Your Highness."
