Cheating

I was just a human with no connection to the vampire world, until I met Adrian, a vampire noble, at an art gallery. We fell in love at first sight. To marry him, I defied my father and cut ties with my family. Everyone envied me for becoming Adrian’s only human wife, showered with love and affection. But after the wedding, I realized that so-called love was just another form of imprisonment. He wouldn’t let me work, wouldn’t let me leave the house, wouldn’t let me attend vampire gatherings. He wanted me to stay obediently in his castle, waiting for him to come home, doing as I was told. And his vampire assistant, Celeste, controlled my every expense under the guise of looking after me. She said that as a human, I was too fragile, too willful, and only ever caused trouble for Adrian. Adrian never once disagreed. Then one night, I stumbled into a vampire hospital, covered in blood. The doctor said the baby could still be saved. But I had no money, and no way to prove I was Mrs. Blackwood. I called Adrian, but the person who answered was Celeste. Through the phone, I heard Adrian’s cold, weary voice. “Don’t bother with her. She’s just putting on an act again.” After I lost the baby, I put the divorce papers in front of him. Adrian thought I was just throwing another tantrum. But what he didn’t know was that the moment I lost our child, there was no chance left for us.

Chapter 1
Elena’s POVThe rain had been falling all night.Blackwood Castle never saw daylight, and the raindrops pounding against the windows kept me from sleep.I curled up at the edge of the bed, my hands pressed hard against my lower abdomen, the pain so severe I could barely breathe.No footsteps outside my door.No one was coming.Adrian hadn’t been home in half a month.The last time I saw him, we had a terrible fight that ended with both of us furious.That day, I had just retrieved a letter from Celeste, one that had already been opened.The letter was from a gallery in the human world.They were inviting me to an art exhibition, even asking if I’d be willing to bring a few of my older pieces.It was the first invitation I’d received from an old friend since the wedding.I took the letter to Adrian, asking him why my personal mail had gone through Celeste’s hands first.Celeste stood behind him, her expression gentle and innocent as always.“Mrs. Blackwood is human. She doesn’t understa

Chapter 2
Elena’s POVThe rain was freezing.The stone steps were ice-cold.I ran out of the estate barefoot, blood running down my legs.Every step felt like a knife carving into my abdomen.I didn’t know how long I ran before I finally saw the lights of the vampire hospital in the wealthy district.The receptionist’s face changed when she saw me.Maybe because this was the wealthy district, and a woman showing up in the middle of the night drenched in blood likely meant a noble family was involved.They didn’t turn me away right away. Instead, they wheeled me into the emergency room.Cold white light shone down on my face.After the examination, the doctor’s expression was grave.“You’re pregnant. The baby isn’t full-term yet.”I froze, remembering that after Adrian had left home that day, my stomach had been bothering me for a long time.He continued immediately, “The baby is in very bad shape right now.”“If we begin treatment immediately, there’s still a chance to save the baby, and you won

Chapter 3
Elena’s POVBy the time I made it back to the Blackwood estate, it was nearly the next morning.The rain had stopped.But my nightgown was still wet, the blood and rainwater stuck together, and with each step, something ice-cold seemed to seep into my bones.The guard at the gate stared at me for a second.Then he quickly lowered his gaze, as if he hadn’t seen a thing.No one asked where I had been.No one asked why I was covered in blood.Every servant here was a vampire, and they all knew that Adrian’s promise to turn me had never been kept.He was always waiting for the right moment. Waiting for me to bear a half-blood heir first. Waiting for me to be more obedient, more sensible.Even that deeply sworn promise from before the wedding became something he casually wielded as leverage whenever we fought.I pressed my hand against the wall and walked back to my bedroom, one step at a time.The lights in the hallway were dim.The old portraits on the walls stared down at me like rows of

Chapter 4
Elena’s POVAdrian’s expression turned to ice in that instant.The room was silent.So silent I could hear water droplets falling from the eaves outside.He looked at me, his eyes full of weariness and irritation.“What good does it do you, carrying on like this?”“Why can’t you just be reasonable?”“I’ve told you, I’m protecting you.”I had heard this speech countless times.And believed it countless times.But that night, when the blade that had only ever been used as a threat finally cut into flesh, when I truly lost a child, I realized that the pain was real.And that I had been hurt in this marriage all along.Celeste stood by the door, her gaze lowered, her voice soft, the picture of reasonableness.I knew she resented me behind closed doors.If she had been born into nobility, the title of Mrs. Blackwood might have gone to her.But instead, it had landed in my hands. A human’s hands.“Mrs. Blackwood, you’re not well right now, and your emotions aren’t stable.”“Divorce is not so

Chapter 5
Elena’s POVOver the next few days, Adrian acted as if nothing had happened.He returned to the estate.He started showing up for meals on time.An outsider would probably assume we had made up.The master of the Blackwood household had finally come home.His human wife had finally stopped making trouble.At dinner, he would sit at the other end of the long table and occasionally ask, “How much did you eat today?”His tone could even pass for gentle.But every time I looked up at him, all I felt was a stranger staring back.I realized that after losing the baby, I had also lost the illusion. I could no longer find even a trace of love in his cold expression and his rigid, distant manner.He was just checking to see if I had gone back to being a wife who ate her meals quietly, stayed put, and wouldn’t bother him with divorce talk again.The porridge the servants brought was still cold.The soup still had that nauseating, fishy taste.But the dessert appeared every single day.Sometimes

Chapter 6
Elena’s POVThe dining room fell silent in an instant.Adrian looked down at the divorce agreement.Celeste stood behind him, her expression as meek as ever.But I saw her fingers tighten against the edge of her sleeve.Of course she wanted me gone.She just didn’t want me to leave with any dignity.Better if Adrian discarded me himself, if everyone saw it as my own humiliation.Better if I shattered the moment I walked out the door and never had the nerve to come back.Adrian finally spoke.“Are you done?”I looked at him.“No.”His face grew colder.I continued, “I’m not throwing a tantrum. This is the last time. No matter what happens, I am leaving.”Celeste spoke up softly. “Mrs. Blackwood, you didn’t sleep well last night.”“Divorce is far too important a decision to make when you’re emotional.”I smiled faintly.“I’ve been making this decision for days.”“Since the night I walked out of that hospital.”The air in the dining room seemed to freeze for an instant.Adrian’s brow crea

Chapter 7
Adrian’s POVThe night Elena left the estate, I didn’t go after her.The fog outside swallowed her silhouette within moments.She carried that pathetically small bag on her back, walking slowly.I knew she was in poor health.I knew she had no money, no car, no one waiting for her.But I still didn’t chase her.Celeste stood behind me and said quietly, “She’s just too worked up.”“She has never actually left you.”“Once she realizes nobody out there will protect her the way you do, she’ll come back on her own.”I didn’t argue.Because I thought the same thing.Elena was a human.Too fragile.Too easy for the outside world to hurt.She thought leaving the Blackwood estate meant freedom.But she didn’t understand yet that without the Blackwood name, she would have no place in either the human world or the vampire world.Her father had cut ties with her three years ago.The Valeri family would not easily take back a daughter who had betrayed them for a vampire.She was just being stubborn

Chapter 8
Adrian’s POVThe Valeri family compound was in the old harbor district of the human world.They dealt in gray-market trade, nothing like the Blackwood estate.No towers rising from an endless night. No silent guards. No iron gates engraved with vampire crests.Just damp sea wind, stacked shipping crates, and guns everywhere.When the car stopped outside the harbor, I saw Elena through the window.She wasn’t standing beside her father.She wasn’t sitting in some warm, bright room, being looked after, being comforted.She was standing at the entrance of a warehouse, arms wrapped around a thick stack of shipping manifests.She wore an old coat.Her hair was pulled back simply, and her complexion looked slightly better.But she seemed even thinner than the night she left the estate.I frowned.Some feeling I couldn’t name sliced through my chest.I pushed it down quickly.She had chosen this.I had warned her.Life outside Blackwood would not be better.Two of the Valeri men walked past he

Chapter 9
Adrian’s POVBy the time I arrived at the human hospital, Elena had already been admitted to a room.The hallway reeked of disinfectant.White light stung my eyes.It had been a long time since I’d set foot in a human hospital.Too chaotic. Behind every door, a life struggling to hold on.A nurse blocked my path.“Sir, you can’t go in there.”I looked at her.“I’m her husband.”The words came out without a second’s hesitation.Even though the divorce agreement already bore my signature.Even though she had told me, point-blank, that she wasn’t coming back.In my mind, Elena was still my wife.She was just angry.She just hadn’t suffered enough without me.The nurse was intimidated by the guards behind me and quickly stepped aside.I pushed the door open.Elena was lying in bed.Her face was worse than it had been at the harbor.Bandages wrapped her arm. Her lips were so pale they were nearly colorless.She heard the sound and slowly lifted her eyes.When she saw it was me, not a single

Chapter 10
Elena’s POVThe next day, when Adrian pushed open the door to my room, I was looking out the window.The hospital windows were small, nothing like the lavish floor-to-ceiling ones at the Blackwood estate.Outside, the sky was clear and bright, with people coming and going below.Ordinary.Noisy.But more alive than the Blackwood estate had ever been.I had expected Adrian to stay away for a while.He had told me to take some time alone.That used to terrify me.I was afraid he would leave with that cold expression and not come home for days, afraid I would never coax another scrap of warmth out of him.But now, all I felt was tired.I no longer had the energy to be hurt by his absence.When the door opened, I didn’t look back.Not until his footsteps stopped at my bedside.Then I noticed that something was off about him.He stood there, his face ashen.His collar was disheveled.His normally composed eyes were rimmed with red, his knuckles locked together so tightly they creaked.I did
