Akira stared blankly at the ceiling. It was late afternoon, but she still lay on her bed lazily; it was evident in her tired eyes that she didn't want to get up. Mainly she still reminisced about what she and her grandfather had argued about again during their conversation when they barely made up yesterday. “A bodyguard?” She scoffed and sat on her bed. She's smiling as if she can't believe her situation. She will have a bodyguard when she's one of the strongest people in her clan and the city. She turned her head on the door when it opened after a knock. Alisson came in with a smile and a tray of lunch with her. She set the lunch in front of Akira, “You have to eat; you didn't come for breakfast.” Akira sighed, “Ali, I feel this is the biggest problem in my life right now.” She signed language with a devastated expression. Alisson smiled, “I heard about it.” Akira's eyes widened, “What? When? With whom did you hear it?” “Well, everyone has been talking about it this morning
Akira stared blankly at Leon who made a big revelation. She couldn't process what she had heard and she absolutely refused to take it in. After a while, Akira laughs and places her hand on her mouth. “You? My bodyguard?” She scoffed and pointed her finger at him. “Dream on!” But Leon didn't take back his words or react to her. Instead, he smiled and walked closer to her. Intimidated by him, she froze on her spot. And with the blink of an eye, Leon was able to take the car keys from her pocket. She only realized it when Leon already got in the car and started the engine. And Leon mouthed at her, “Get in, M-I-L-A-D-Y.” Akira fumes in irritation but still gets in the car. She sat in the back seat instead of the passenger seat. Leon glanced at Akira through the rearview mirror. Akira's looking outside with her arms still crossed. Leon let out a small chuckle. “Hey, vamp,” Akira called while still looking outside. “Hm?” Leon responded. “Is what you said earlier true? About the b
“Follow me.” Akira coldly said to Leon. Akira's resolve is to get used to it rather than to be stressed about it. What can she even do now that Leon has become her bodyguard? None. She might as well make use of the new change. Her three chances to kill him will start now and her revenge on him since he chooses to get near her. Leon walked right behind her, making her somewhat amused since she only saw those bodyguard things in movies. Now that she's experiencing it herself, she's excited but has to hide it, especially since her bodyguard is unfortunately a vampire. They head to her mansion with a car where of course Leon drives. They immediately arrive in time. Leon is a fast yet careful driver, unlike Akira who is known for being a reckless driver—a bad driver. Fortunately, she's not getting into an accident despite those. Akira then toured Leon to the whole big mansion. Her mansion is composed of a fifth floor, with different rooms for her bedroom, the employee's room, her offi
“Is your ankle alright?” Leon asked and gazed at her feet. Akira felt something that made her contemplate. She doesn't want to answer Leon, especially since she doesn't know what to do after last night's argument and how mysterious it was for her ankle to have a bandage. It's making her guilty for some reason. “Yeah…” She responded shortly and then started to walk. She's walking very slowly since she doesn't want her ankle to get worse. Leon is beside her. And in her peripheral vision, he's looking at her while they walk. It was also early in the morning. Her maids started to clean the hall as carefully and quietly as possible. They didn't want to upset her, but their gaze was focused on her and Leon. “Who is the man beside Miss Akira?” One of the maids whispers. “I heard he's the one. The one and only bodyguard of our Miss.” “He's good-looking for a bodyguard.” They continued to chat. Akira hears it all, and it can be seen that she's pissed. She was about to lecture those maids
Akira didn't close her eyes when she watched Leon strangle the dhampir who intruded on her clan's place and attacked her. It was clear, the sound of a whimper of the dhampir until it fainted to the ground; all of it was witnessed by Akira. Her golden eyes seemed to glow when she remembered what the dhampir was going to do to her—it was making a move on her, to harass her. Thinking about it, her eyes grew dark; she was mad. Her fist clenched. “Damn it…” She mumbled through her clenched teeth. “I got him.” Leon caught her attention when he stood in front of her; in his hand, there was the dhampir, which had lost consciousness. Akira glanced at the dhampir and Leon. Their eyes locked on each other. It lasted until some soldiers arrived. “Bring that thing to the laboratory,” Akira commanded the soldiers, who had only noticed her. Leon gave the dhampir to the soldiers, and they began to head to the laboratory. Leon and Akira were left. Akira breathed in and groaned. Leon was wat
Akira woke up grinning from ear to ear. She stretched while humming, and that scared the hell out of the maids who were cleaning her room. Today is another day for Akira, and finally, she decided to live up to her nickname. ‘The villain successor’ The maid hurried their cleaning; they did not want to be in the same cold room with Akira. As soon as Akira got up from her bed, her maid left her room immediately but even before everyone could get out, she called one of the maids. “M-miss---” “Prepare my breakfast and let my bodyguard deliver it to me. You have ten minutes.” Akira interrupted the stuttering maid. And without losing more time, the maid hurriedly left. While waiting, she brushes her long black hair. She glances at the clock from time to time while humming. Until… The door finally opened at exactly ten minutes. Akira's brow arched for a moment because she was expecting her breakfast to be late since she gave them a little time to prepare it. And there it was, Leon en
Akira held her breath while locking her eyes on Leon's. There was a hint of shock in her golden eyes. Why did he grab her hands? She couldn't understand his actions at all when she was doing so for him. “You want my blood right? I'm giving it to you.” Akira gave a nonchalant reply. It was enough to make Leon's brow arch. He was still holding her hand. The blood was dripping on the ground, it smelled so sweet, more than enough to entice Leon. He clenched his jaw fighting back the urge...to taste her. Akira noticed his urge to taste her blood, she could feel it through the slowly tightening grip on her hand. And although she was sick at the sight of him—a vampire, she leaned closer to him. “Stop wasting my blood, vamp. I don't have fucking unlimited blood.” Akira argued and removed his hands from her hand. Her brows slightly arched when the pain started to kick in but she didn't mind it. Her goal was to end this quickly. Akira moves closer to Leon who is staring at her, his clea
[Author’s note: This chapter is about the dream of Akira.] Akira hurriedly took her bag and came out of her room. Her black short hair waved as she descended the stairs and ran like a squirrel toward the dining table. Her golden eyes were vividly clear with happiness as soon as she saw her family. When she sat at the table, her mother smiled at her cuteness as she ate the bread and drank the milk hurriedly. Alina Lesle Clemente, Akira’s mother. She possesses light golden eyes and black curvy hair. She came from the clan of Rihiko. “Akira, my dear. Eat slowly.” A soft voice reprimanded her. Ephraim Rein Clemente, Akira’s father, possessed golden eyes just like her and golden smooth hair. He has a radiant smile as he looks at Akira who was 17 years old at that time. He is also the current clan leader of the Clemente clan. Akira pouted while eating, “I am super late, Mom, and Dad. I told sister Rue to wake me up but she didn’t! ” Rue Esthel Clemente, her older sister. She possesse
