LOGINI forced myself out of bed, my body still heavy with exhaustion, and dragged my feet toward the door.
Four unfamiliar men stood before me, their expressions unreadable and their stance almost threatening, as if they had come to drag me away by force. “W-w-wha… what d-do you… you w-want?” I stammered, my voice trembling uncontrollably as fear gripped me. They simply ignored me , shoved past me and stormed into the room. I stood there frozen, watching in utter disbelief as he began gathering my belongings. He folded my clothes with unsettling calmness and placed them into a small suitcase, as though my fate had already been sealed. One of them grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. “W-wait… what are you doing?” I stammered, my voice trembling as fear crept through every inch of me. “It’s time to serve our boss,” he said coldly. "You should be glad you're here, he said. “Serve…?” I whispered, my mind struggling to comprehend what he meant. "WTF" “He’s finally ready…” I murmured silently, my heart pounding violently against my chest. “He’s finally going to drain my blood.” One of the men suddenly asked me a question so bizarre and weird question. "Where are your handcuffs?" “My… handcuffs?” I repeated, staring at him as though he had just spoken a foreign language. “Why on earth would I have handcuffs? I’m not some prisoner.” “Who unlocked them?” he demanded, his words carrying a dangerous edge. “Wait… what are you talking about?” I asked, my confusion growing by the second. A slow, devilish smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, sending an unsettling shiver down my spine. “Don’t worry,” he said, his tone filled with amusement. “I’ll make sure the boss knows you need a pair.” I was hauled through the vast corridor, my sobs filling the silence around us. I pleaded until my voice grew hoarse, desperately searching their faces for a trace of mercy, but none of them showed even a flicker of sympathy. They halted several feet away from the boss chambers, their steps coming to an abrupt stop. “Go in yourself,” one of them instructed before turning away, leaving me standing there alone. I stared after them, utterly bewildered. “Why would they abandon me here?” I wondered silently, my heart sinking with unease. Then the realization struck me like a bolt from the blue. No one dared set foot near his chambers unless they had been personally summoned. Even the bravest among them wouldn’t dare cross that line without permission. My fingers tightened around the small cross hanging in my hand, the only fragment of comfort I had left. My fingers tightened around the small cross hanging in my hand, the only fragment of comfort I had left. Taking a deep, shaky breath, I gathered every ounce of courage I could find and stepped toward the door. My heart was pounding relentlessly as I raised my trembling hand. Knock. Knock. The sound echoed through the silent hallway, and I stood there holding my breath, waiting to face whatever awaited me on the other side. In the blink of an eye, a strong hand grabbed me and dragged inside. The door shut behind me with a chilling finality, and my heart sank. With fear coursing through my veins, I could only brace myself and accept the fate that was waiting for me. “Sit,” he ordered, his deep voice echoing through the room. My legs moved before my mind could catch up. I carefully sat on the bed, my fingers trembling as I braced myself for what was to come. I waited for him to bare his fangs, for the inevitable pain, for him to drain my blood and prove every terrifying rumor I had heard true. "Isn't this what vampires are supposed to do?" I wondered silently, my mind spiraling into a whirlwind of fear and uncertainty. Every rumor, every horror story, and every warning replayed in my head, convincing me that my fate was already sealed. “Go get yourself ready,” he instructed. I stared at him in confusion, unsure of what he meant by get ready. My mind immediately wandered to the worst possibilities, and I opened my mouth to ask for clarification. Before I could utter a word, he cut me off. “Take a bath and sleep over there.” He pointed toward a medium-sized bed tucked away in the corner of his chambers. He wasn’t nearly as monstrous as the rumors had painted him to be. I slowly made my way to the bathroom, still trying to process the unexpected turn of events. After undressing, I stepped beneath the warm stream of the shower, allowing the water to wash away some of the tension that had been weighing heavily on me. After my bath , he handed me towel and I wrapped and stepped out of the bathroom. He stepped into the shower afterward, and a few minutes later, he emerged, already finished. I lay back on the bed, heart hammering as he stepped out of the bathroom. Water droplets traced paths down his pale, muscular chest, his jet-black hair plastered wet and messy against his forehead. His crimson eyes locked onto mine with that predatory hunger, fangs peeking from parted lips. " This was the first time I had ever seen his fangs." I had only ever watched them in movies—fake, exaggerated versions created to scare audiences. But this was different. "............This was real." The sharp points peeking from behind his lips weren’t some special effect on a screen. The towel hung low on his hips, barely containing the thick bulge pressing against the fabric. He moved closer to me on the bed, and my entire body stiffened. Fear immediately washed over me as my mind raced. Had he changed his mind? Was he finally going to sink his fangs into my neck and take my blood?What does he mean by “Now, undress”? Does he intend to have his way with me before sucking my blood? Jeez… why can’t he just get it over with instead of keeping me on tenterhooks? I grumbled inwardly, my heart pounding against my ribs. I had no idea where the sudden surge of courage came from. Before I could bite my tongue, the words slipped out. "Just finish me off at once!" I cried, my voice echoing through the room. What did I just utter?! Did I just fuel his rage and give him a reason to kill me on the spot? His crimson eyes suddenly blazed a terrifying shade of scarlet. “I-I… I-I’m s-s-so sorry,” I stammered, my voice trembling. “I didn’t mean to anger you.” Without a word, he began stalking toward me, his sharp fangs slowly descending from behind his lips. He pulled me closer until I was pressed against him, as though he was about to sink his fangs into my neck and drain every last drop of my blood. "I-I... I..." Then everything went black, and I fainted. ~~~~~~~~~
"Easy, girl. I'm not going to suck your blood... not yet," he said."...What?"Is he postponing my death until another day? I wondered, utterly bewildered.What did he mean by not yet? If he wasn't going to suck my blood now... did that mean he planned to do it later? I murmured to myself, my heart pounding against my ribs."Did Kai brief you on the rules you'll be expected to obey while you're here?" he asked, his voice slicing through the heavy silence.What rules is he talking about? I wondered silently, my curiosity piqued."What's your name?" he asked, his deep voice breaking the silence."I... I-I... I'm Ruby," I replied, my words trembling as I stammered nervously."So, Ruby," he said, his crimson eyes fixed on mine, "while we're inside this mansion, you will address me as Prince Zyren. Once we step outside these walls, you'll call me Boss.""And why aren't you wearing the handcuffs I ordered for you?" he asked, his voice laced with authority."I wasn't given any since I came h
I forced myself out of bed, my body still heavy with exhaustion, and dragged my feet toward the door. Four unfamiliar men stood before me, their expressions unreadable and their stance almost threatening, as if they had come to drag me away by force. “W-w-wha… what d-do you… you w-want?” I stammered, my voice trembling uncontrollably as fear gripped me.

He snatched a neatly folded stack of clothes from one of the maids before shoving them into my arms. “I suppose it’s high time someone taught you a lesson,” he growled, his voice laced with fury. Before I could utter another word, he seized my wrist and dragged me down the sprawling hallway. “Take those clothes to the boss.” “The… the boss?” My face drained of color, and my heart plummeted into the pit of my stomach. “N-no…” I whispered, my voice trembling. “I don’t want to die… not yet.” “I promise I’ll behave from now on,” I pleaded through my sobs. “I’ll do whatever you ask. Please… don’t send me to him.” I pleaded with him until my voice grew hoarse, but it fell on deaf ears. Without uttering another word, he stopped in front of an enormous mahogany door, released my wrist, and strode away without so much as a backward glance. “I guess this is where my story ends,” I murmured bitterly. “So much for living a long life.” I summoned every ounce of courage I had le
I was woken by an icy splash of water that struck my face with startling force, tearing me from the depths of unconsciousness. “Mom… I’ll wash the dishes later,” I mumbled groggily, my mind still adrift in the remnants of sleep. “Get on your feet before I lose my patience,” an unfamiliar voice barked, its icy edge sending a shiver down my spine. A weary groan escaped my lips as I slowly pried my eyes open and rubbed the sleep from them. In the blink of an eye, the horrifying events of the previous night came rushing back, hitting me like a freight train. I climbed out of the Lamborghini on trembling legs, only to be met by the unforgiving glare of the morning sun. Shielding my eyes with an unsteady hand, I surveyed my surroundings, my pulse quickening. The mansion looming before me was nothing short of colossal. It stood like a silent monarch, cloaked in wealth, mystery, and something far more sinister. The man with those icy blue eyes and glacial azure orbs yanked me deep
“Let me go!” I wailed, struggling against the arms holding me back. “Mom…” My voice broke into a thousand pieces. “I wish you were still here. You weren’t supposed to leave me behind.” I buried my face in my trembling hands. “You should have taken me with you,” I whispered through broken sobs. “Now I’m left to pick up the pieces of a life that no longer feels whole.” I struggled with every ounce of strength I possessed, fighting like a cornered animal against their iron grip. In a desperate bid to break free, I sank my teeth into one of the men’s arm, biting down so hard that he cried out in agony. For the briefest moment, I thought I had gained the upper hand. Then I felt the sharp sting of a needle pierce my skin. An icy sensation coursed through my veins, draining every ounce of strength from my body. My limbs turned leaden, and my vision dissolved into a hazy blur. I fought desperately to keep my eyes open, but consciousness slipped through my fingers like sand. “Mom…”
