Reborn To Watch You Fall, My Lord Chapter 9
"Elena—! Look at me! Please look at me!"Julian crawled on his knees, stopping ten paces away, too terrified to breach the barrier of the Original Lady's aura.His face was caked in mud and blood. His once-handsome features were hollow and twisted from years of starvation and humiliation.Those once-proud eyes were now weeping bloody tears."Elena, I was wrong... I was so wrong..." He pressed his forehead hard against the filthy cobblestones. "Let me be your lowest slave, please? You can chain me outside the estate like a dog. Just let me see you every day..."The surrounding high vampires hissed in disgust.The once-untouchable Captain of the Guard was crying in the street like a rabid mutt.I looked down at him, utterly unfazed.Five years, and he was still just as pathetic."Julian. Are you still feeling sorry for yourself over how things turned out in this life?"Julian's head jerked up, confusion flashing in his eyes.I let out a soft laugh—a smile that was heartbreakingly beautif

Five years later.Neutral City was completely illuminated and bustling. The once-in-a-century High Vampire Gala was in full swing at the Syndicate's most lavish estate.I wore a dark crimson velvet gown. On my chest rested the crest of the Original's Lady—the ultimate symbol of power. I stood gracefully on the balcony.The same Lords who used to act so high and mighty around Julian now had to bow at my feet and respectfully kiss my hand."My Lady, you look absolutely breathtaking tonight," an ancient Duke bowed deeply.I gave a slight nod. The Original blood in my veins gave me an aura of absolute command with every move I made.These past five years had completely erased the pathetic, dying woman in that hospital bed."Make sure the tax reports for the Eastern Territory are on my desk after the gala," I said calmly, but with an authority that left no room for debate."Right away, My Lady."The night breeze carried the estate's luxurious perfume into the streets.But down in a dark,

Bloodcurdling screams echoed through the High Council hall.Two elite Enforcers pinned Julian down on the execution block."Julian Thorne. Charged with the murder of a pureblood heir and treason. By law, you are stripped of your titles as Captain of the Guard and Lord, and all your power will be drained."With two sickening snaps, the Grand Inquisitor ripped out Julian's fangs with his bare hands.Thick, black blood sprayed everywhere.The once-arrogant Captain convulsed violently, letting out an agonizing, guttural wail."Exiled to the Forsaken Wastelands! Forever!"I stood in the highest gallery, watching the whole thing with dead eyes.Lucius stood right beside me, his black-and-gold coat—a symbol of absolute power—still resting on my shoulders.Guards grabbed Julian by the ankles and dragged him out of the hall.Just before he hit the doors, Julian used every last ounce of his strength to turn his head.His face, smeared with sweat and blood, locked onto mine. His bloodshot eyes we

"Don't kill me! Please!" Ana collapsed in a pool of blood, her legs bent at unnatural angles.She looked around in pure panic. Darting between the Original and Julian, she finally realized how doomed she was."I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!" she shrieked, crawling toward Lucius's boots. "Lilah made me do it! She paid me a fortune to lie about Elena cheating!"Julian snapped his head up, staring at Ana in disbelief."She said if Julian believed Elena betrayed him, she could take her place!" Ana spat everything out just to save her own life. "She said if she drove Elena crazy, Lord Julian would just think she was an insane, jealous wife. The danger at the masquerade was all her doing, too! Just to lure away the guards and have him all to herself!"The air in the room froze.Lilah turned pale as a ghost, stumbling backward."No... that's not true... Ana's lying..." Her voice trembled. Her sweet, innocent mask had completely slipped.Blinding rage flared in Julian's eyes.He lunged a

The color drained from Julian’s face.His hand holding the silver stake began to shake uncontrollably, and the weapon clattered to the floor.The crushing weight of an Original’s pureblood aura crashed down on us like a tidal wave."Kneel."Lucius didn't even raise a hand; he just spat out the word.Julian’s knees slammed hard into the cold marble. The sickening crack of bone hitting stone echoed through the room."No... this is impossible..." Julian stared at Lucius, eyes wide with horror. "Why are you here? I didn't... I wasn't going to...""Wasn't going to what? Stake the woman who saved my life?" Lucius walked slowly toward him. "Or weren't you going to flaunt your stupidity in my face?"Just then, the door burst open.Silas, the doctor, rolled in a medical cart. Something sickening lay hidden beneath a white cloth."You want hard proof, Julian?" Silas ripped the cloth away in a blind rage. "Then take a good look!"On the cart, shards of silver covered in blackened blood gleamed un

"Trust Lilah?" A weak, hollow laugh scraped my dry throat.The wounds on my back tore open again. Warm blood soaked my bandages, but I felt no pain."Too late, Julian." I looked up and met his eyes calmly. "Your child is already dust."Julian frowned. Pure panic flashed in his eyes."You're actually insane. You're cursing your own flesh and blood over petty jealousy?"When your heart is dead, even anger feels pointless."It's no curse." My voice was flat. "It was the assassination in the hall. Poisoned silver shrapnel pierced my back. The silver ran through my blood and into my womb. It was poisoned to death."Julian froze. The arrogance on his face started to crack."Impossible," he blurted out, his voice shaking. "You're due any day now. You have half my essence in you. Your life force isn't that fragile."I didn't even bother explaining. I just ripped off the blanket.Under the baggy hospital gown, my once swollen belly was glaringly flat.Fresh red blood was bleeding through the th
