Chapter 7

Author: Anna Smith
After returning to the northern territories of the Sterling family, I let everything go.

I stopped thinking about Dominic Costa.

I stopped thinking about the past.

I focused on recovering my health—and gradually took over the family’s affairs.

The scenery here was breathtaking.

The air was clean and crisp, lifting my spirits.

I traveled through the Alps, standing before the vast snow-covered peaks and feeling their overwhelming grandeur.

I walked along the shores of Lake Lucerne, taking in the q

    But Dominic Costa became almost unhinged.He no longer appeared before me, yet lingered like a restless specter around the castle grounds.I sighed, knowing that if this continued, everyone would soon learn of our past.That relationship brought me no political damage—but it left me deeply uncomfortable.So I decided to speak with him one last time.If I could persuade him to leave, that would be best.If not, I would enforce my authority.I ordered the guards to bring him to the Grand Hall.When he saw me, a flicker of joy flashed in his eyes.“Vivienne… you’re finally willing to see me,” he said softly. “I’ve been waiting.”I looked at him coldly and said nothing.“Vivienne, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance,” Dominic Costa pleaded.“A child cannot grow up without a father. Do you really want them to be born without one?”I rested a hand against my swollen abdomen and replied firmly,“Even without you, I can raise my children.”“And when they grow up, they will never

    After returning to the northern territories of the Sterling family, I let everything go.I stopped thinking about Dominic Costa.I stopped thinking about the past.I focused on recovering my health—and gradually took over the family’s affairs.The scenery here was breathtaking.The air was clean and crisp, lifting my spirits.I traveled through the Alps, standing before the vast snow-covered peaks and feeling their overwhelming grandeur.I walked along the shores of Lake Lucerne, taking in the quiet stillness of the water.At the succession ceremony for the Vampire King, I saw Dominic again.The seats were arranged strictly according to bloodline rank and status.Dominic was placed in the third row from the back.When he saw me seated at the central throne, disbelief filled his eyes.He tried several times to push forward and speak to me, only to be stopped by the Sterling family guards.My grandfather, Victor Sterling, formally announced my ascension to the Vampire King’s throne.Anci

    Dominic Costa took a deep breath and pushed the door open.He looked at Ava Morgan coldly and demanded,“What did you just say?”The moment Ava Morgan saw him, panic flashed across her face.“Dominic—you must have misheard. I didn’t say anything.”Dominic Costa didn’t believe her.His gaze swept across the room and landed on the table, where a communicator crystal was still glowing.He walked over and looked down.On the screen were the private messages between Ava Morgan and Vivienne Sterling.“Vivienne Sterling, you’d better die somewhere out there and never come back.”“See this? This is soup Dominic personally brewed for me. You’ve never tasted it in your life, have you?”“Vivienne Sterling, you deserve to end up alone.”Each vicious sentence pierced straight into his heart.Only then did Dominic Costa realize what kind of person Ava Morgan truly was.Rage surged violently through him.He raised his hand and activated a Blood Authority Seal, slamming it down onto Ava Morgan.“You f

    I left.And Dominic Costa fell into chaos.While caring for Ava Morgan at the Blood Infirmary, Dominic Costa was visibly distracted.Again and again, his mind replayed the look in my eyes the night before—a look of utter despair.It was an expression he had never seen from me before.An inexplicable sense of unease surged in his chest.Almost unconsciously, he pulled out his phone, wanting to contact me.“Dominic,” Ava Morgan said gently, breaking his train of thought,“could you warm the blood infusion for me? I can’t drink it cold.”He glanced at the phone in his hand, then at Ava Morgan.In the end, he put the phone away.“Alright,” he replied. “I’ll take care of it.”That night, Dominic Costa stayed at the Blood Infirmary, accompanying Ava Morgan the entire time.It wasn’t until early the next morning that he finally returned home.But the moment he pushed open the door, the house felt unnervingly empty.All of my belongings were gone.He froze for a moment, then hurriedly searche

    That evening, Dominic Costa brought Ava Morgan back to the estate and personally prepared a full table of dishes favored by humans.Throughout the meal, he kept serving her food and refilling her soup, clearly familiar with her preferences.In front of me, there was only a single glass of blood beverage.“Ava, this soup is light—it suits your taste perfectly.”“And this fish—you like it. Eat more. You need the nourishment.”Watching their intimacy, tears welled up in my eyes.I lowered my head and ate in silence.I couldn’t show any extreme reaction.I couldn’t let Dominic Costa notice that something had changed.If he sensed my intention to leave, he would never allow it.Besides, I was carrying his children—that was something he absolutely could not know.“Dominic, you’re taking such good care of me,” Ava Morgan said deliberately, glancing at me.“Won’t Miss Sterling be upset?”Dominic Costa froze for a moment before quickly explaining.“She won’t be angry, Ava. You’re pregnant—you

    The next day, I went alone to the Blood Infirmary.I wanted to confirm the condition of my babies one more time.But at the corner of the corridor, I saw two familiar figures.Dominic was carefully supporting Ava Morgan, his expression gentle and attentive.That morning, he had told me there were urgent matters in the Coven—so this was what he meant. Accompanying her for a prenatal examination.My heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.The pain was so intense I could barely breathe.I hid behind a marble pillar, watching them enter the examination chamber.“Dominic, do you really want this child?”The voice of Jack Brown—Dominic Costa’s close friend and the witch-healer of this Blood Infirmary—reached my ears clearly.“Of course,” Dominic Costa replied without hesitation, his tone firm and resolute.“This child—I must have.”“But what about Vivienne Sterling?” Jack Brown asked again.“What do you plan to do about her?”Dominic Costa fell silent for a moment before spea
