Winning Back the Wife

I was the only human at the vampire banquet, and the fiancée of the Prince's heir, Lucien. As a child, I once saved Lucien from vampire hunters, and the Prince and his wife chose me for him, sealing our engagement. Everyone envied me. I was merely the daughter of a human nobleman, yet I had the fortune to marry above my station into the Prince's family. To be worthy of him, I worked to make everything perfect. But among vampires, I always seemed slow and clumsy. They moved faster than me, heard far more than I could, and even the simplest vampire customs took me longer to memorize. Every time I reacted a step too slow, Lucien would remind me with a frown. "How are you ever going to be a proper wife like this?" He always said that compared to the girl he grew up with, his former fiancée, I still fell far short. Every single time, I was laughed at without mercy. Lucien would never let anyone hurt me, but he never once defended my dignity. Eventually, I broke off the engagement and decided to marry someone else. Lucien's face darkened. "You're really going to marry this human?" "Yes. Because he has never once called me stupid." Lucien scoffed. "That's your reason?" I nodded. "That's my reason."

Chapter 1
Evelyn's POVI was the only human at the vampire banquet, and the fiancée of the Prince's heir, Lucien.Everyone said the greatest fortune of my life was saving him when I was a child.That year, Lucien had been chased by vampire hunters to the edge of human territory.I didn't know who he really was. All I saw was a blood-covered boy collapsed in the woods, with the sound of hunters' footsteps closing in behind him.I hid him in an abandoned wine cellar and deliberately pointed the hunters in the wrong direction, leading them away.Later, the Prince and his wife came to our home in person.They thanked me for saving their son, and because Lucien had refused to let anyone but me near him during his recovery, they decided to cancel his existing engagement to Selene and chose me as their future daughter-in-law.I was too young then to understand what an engagement to the Prince's heir truly meant.All I knew was that Lucien depended on me completely.He told me that whenever I wasn't the

Evelyn's POVWith twenty-seven days left until the engagement, several vampire noblewomen invited me to help prepare a banquet.This event wasn't hosted by the Prince's family. It was simply a gathering organized by a few aristocratic ladies.They knew I had studied painting in the human world, and they proposed turning the banquet hall entrance into a gallery, asking me to create a series of new works for them.One of the ladies held my hand and smiled warmly."The Princess always says you're so clever and capable. We'd love to see human art for ourselves."I agreed almost immediately.Since coming to vampire territory, I rarely had the chance to paint.All anyone cared about was whether I had memorized the customs, whether I could keep up with Lucien, whether I could become a worthy wife to the Prince's heir.Painting was the one thing I was truly good at.I also hoped Lucien would see that even without a vampire's sharp hearing and speed, I wasn't entirely useless.At first, the nob

Evelyn's POVSeventeen days until the engagement.After that banquet, I packed all my painting supplies into a cabinet.Lucien asked me once why I had stopped painting.I told him the engagement was approaching and I didn't have time.He didn't press further.After that day, I spoke up less and less.Before, when I dined with Lucien, I would tell him amusing stories from the human world or talk about what I wanted to paint next.Now, before I opened my mouth, I would rehearse every sentence in my head, making sure I wouldn't sound foolish or say anything that would irritate him.More often than not, by the time I found an opening, Selene had already moved him on to the next topic.They had grown up together, familiar with each other's habits, well-versed in every relationship between the vampire families.This was supposed to be my wedding with Lucien, yet nearly every decision was made between him and Selene.They spoke quickly, never needing to stop and explain.I would often still b

Evelyn's POVThe next morning, my maid delivered a complete set of new art supplies.Paints, brushes, and canvases covered the table, every piece finer than anything I had ever used."His Highness said that if you still wish to paint, you may do so in your room," the maid relayed carefully. "But please don't show your work to others, and don't agree to do favors for people again."I stood by the table without reaching for any of it.Lucien probably thought he was comforting me.He remembered that I liked to paint and was willing to spend money to give me the finest supplies.But he still believed my paintings were only fit to be hidden in a room, a private pastime.As long as no one else saw them, as long as they didn't cause him trouble, it didn't matter what I painted.I looked at those supplies, but all I could think of was the past, when I still lived in the human world.My parents used to look at little me and say that one day, I would become the greatest artist, the proudest heir

Chapter 5
Evelyn's POVThe day I left vampire territory, Lucien didn't come to see me off.He was probably still waiting for me to change my mind.As the carriage passed beyond the Blackwood estate, I looked back one last time.The castle where I had lived for years was quickly swallowed by the night, but I didn't feel the relief I had expected.I only felt exhausted.My parents had received the news partway through my journey and hurriedly prepared, waiting at the gates of the Valerie estate themselves.When Mother saw me step out of the carriage alone, her smile froze for an instant."Where is Lucien?""I've broken off the engagement."Father's face changed immediately.I expected them to blame me.The Prince and Princess had always called the engagement a repayment for saving their son. Everyone said that marrying Lucien was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing the Valerie family could never have dreamed of.Father was quiet for a long time. Then he asked just one question."Did he mistreat you?"Th

Chapter 6
Lucien's POVWhen the officiant announced Evelyn and Julian as husband and wife, the entire chapel erupted in applause.I stood at the far end of the carpet and watched that human man slide a ring onto her finger.Evelyn didn't look at me.Even when I called her name, even when I ordered her to stop, she didn't turn around.When she walked past me holding Julian's hand, I still believed it was nothing more than a moment of impulse.She couldn't handle life among vampires, so she had stormed back to the human world. She married someone else in haste just to avoid the engagement.Once she was in real danger, once she realized an ordinary human could never protect her the way I could, she would come back.I returned to the Blackwood estate and, out of habit, told a servant to prepare a meal suited for a human.The servant lingered."Is there something else?"He lowered his head."Your Highness, Miss Evelyn will not be returning for meals."I looked up."She's only staying with the Ashford

Lucien's POVThe next day, I went to the estates of those noblewomen.They had clearly already heard about Evelyn marrying Julian. When they saw me, surprise flickered across their faces, quickly replaced by ingratiating smiles."What brings Your Highness here in person?"I didn't waste time on pleasantries."Where are the paintings Evelyn prepared for you?"Their expressions shifted simultaneously.One of the ladies forced a smile. "Those were just human works. We decided they weren't suitable for the banquet, so we...""I asked where they are."She didn't dare say another word and immediately sent a servant to lead the way.The paintings were still piled in the storage room.The frames were broken, and several canvases were stained with dust and wine. The work Evelyn had spent a month completing had been carelessly shoved beneath discarded decorations.Standing there, I suddenly remembered the night she told me, head bowed, how they had changed their demands over and over, how they k

Evelyn's POVShortly after the wedding, I started painting again.Julian gave me the room in the estate with the best light for a studio.He didn't buy expensive paints or decide what I should paint. He simply had all the old supplies I'd brought from the Valerie estate set up for me.The first time I walked in, I stood in the doorway for a long while.Beside the easel was a large window.Sunlight fell across the floor and lit up the worn brushes on the table.Julian asked, "You don't like it?"I shook my head."I just haven't painted in sunlight for a long time."In vampire territory, the curtains were always drawn thick and heavy.After the noblewomen discarded my work, I never touched a brush again.Julian didn't urge me to start.He only said, "This room will always be here for you."At first, I was still not used to things.When someone asked my opinion, I would preface it by saying I was probably wrong.If a servant moved too quickly, I would instinctively step aside.When I coul

Evelyn's POVAfter Lucien left, the restored paintings were carefully put away.Julian didn't ask why I chose not to hang them."Keep them as long as you want," he said. "Whenever you feel like looking at them, just bring them out."I nodded and returned to the studio to continue my new piece.I had been working on it for half a month. It depicted the garden on the south side of the Valerie estate.Father sat beneath a tree, reading a letter. Mother was arranging freshly cut flowers. Julian stood on the stone steps, going over winter repairs with the steward.There was also a figure seated by a window.I hadn't planned to paint myself into it.But as I worked, I added a chair by the window, then an easel, and then a hand holding a brush.Julian stood behind me, watching for a while."This is the first time you've included yourself."I looked at the woman in the painting.She wasn't standing behind anyone, and she didn't need to chase someone else's stride.She was simply sitting in the

Chapter 10
Evelyn's POVThat evening, I was returning home alone from the Valerie estate.Julian had stayed behind to help Father with business and had originally arranged for an escort.Since the ride was short and the route familiar, I took only the driver.After the carriage entered the woods, a gunshot rang out ahead.The startled horse veered off the road, and the driver struggled to rein the horse in.Moments later, a second shot echoed from deeper in the trees.This stretch was near the border between human and vampire territory.Hunters often set ambushes here at night. Their guns were loaded with silver bullets, and any wound they inflicted on a vampire would resist healing.I told the driver to stay with the carriage and wait.He didn't want to let me go alone, so I told him to wait a quarter of an hour.If I wasn't back by then, he was to return to the Valerie estate immediately for help.I took a lantern and made my way along the tree line.Dark bloodstains soon appeared on the grass.
