KAELYNN's POV❦❦❦My alarm rang, so I quickly turned it off and pushed myself off the bed. Then, I cleaned up my mattress and stretched my arms."7:30 am," I uttered and pouted. I'm still sleepy. To tell the truth, I've been sleeping most of the time. Every time Dan leaves the house, I go to sleep, and when he comes home to rest, I'll sleep with him too. Lately, my body feels like a log, and I prefer to sleep most of the time, and I feel tired. Is it because my baby's growing inside me?I looked in the mirror and saw my round tummy. My bump looks like he's already in his third month.So this is how fast vampire babies grow inside their mother's womb?Even though I was still sleepy, I pushed myself to walk out of the room towards the kitchen. I always feel weak, but I'll regain my strength after breakfast.I gargled and washed my face. And while drinking a glass of water, I saw the blood drugs on the table that Dan takes daily.Did he leave his drug on purpose? Is he going to be alrigh
DANRIOUS' POV❦❦❦I quickly left my workplace without informing the manager or changing my uniform.My skin also hurts from the sun's heat while running to the nearest bus station. I saw a packed bus when I arrived, but I didn't care. I have to go to her as quickly as possible.I was at work when I received a call from Auntie Rose, and she told me that my baby was in critical condition. I didn't know what to do then, but my body automatically moved and ran to where my wife and baby were.I'm so anxious while riding on the bus. I don't care if the others are already looking at me. The bus stopped at every bus stop because many passengers were getting off, which made the trip longer.I could not hold back my tears anymore because of the intense anxiety. I quickly covered my face with my cap."Sir, are you alright?" An older woman asked me, but I said nothing. While riding the bus, I felt my shoulders and some parts of my forearm burn from the sun, but I didn't care. And when I arrived a
DANRIOUS' POV❦❦❦"Runo, breakfast is ready," I called her from the kitchen, but she didn't respond and stared into nothingness. So, I approached her and tapped her right shoulder."Hey, come on. Let's eat breakfast," I invited her again, and this time I got a reaction, but she just looked at me and nodded. There's no emotion in her eyes. Runo has been like this for the past few days since that tragedy happened.Yes, it still hurts, and I know that it hurts her even more, but nothing will happen if we focus on the pain and guilt of losing our child. It's too painful that my heart is shattered again whenever the thought of losing Dillan passes. Sometimes, I'll stare outside the window without realizing that my tears are falling already.But that's a part of moving on, right? This feeling of pain, it's a little bit familiar to me. Not because I've lost someone, but when Runo rejected me, that was my first greatest defeat in life.It hurts like someone is killing me daily, even in my dre
KAELYNN'S POV❦❦❦It's been months since that nightmare happened to Danrious and me. As of now, I am slowly but surely moving on. When I went to our son's grave that day, I thought of something.Would my son want to see his parents in that miserable state? Besides, I'm sure that Danrious and I will be more tragic if we continue to dwell in that depressing time. In that tragedy and nightmare.When we visited him, Dan and I accepted our flaws and mistakes, our regrets and guilts, and even the things we could not do with our son.Right now, we're both in the process of moving on and accepting. Until now, I can still clearly remember how we lost Rain. Yes, it still hurts because it's difficult to move on from the pain of losing someone you love.Rain was our first child. Yes, he may be an offspring of our fleshly desires or from our wrong decisions, but we never regretted having Rain in our life.But what we do regret was when we lost him. But now, we are moving on from it, and we can't a
KAELYNN'S POV❦❦❦I was staring at his back while he was walking toward his father, and every step he takes is like a million daggers stabbing my heart. Then, all of a sudden— "Who are you threatening!? Fine! Make me suffer because I can endure it all, but I will never return to you!" Danrious yelled angrily at the top of his lungs after punching his father in the face, greatly shocking us both.Sir Danilo touched his face where Dan punched him, and his facial expression quickly turned dark."Fine. It's a deal, Danrious. You made your decision. This is your last chance, Danrious," Sir Danilo said as he walked out of our apartment, leaving Danrious breathing heavily while standing at the same spot. I quickly stood up and approached Dan. I firmly held his hands, those hands that I thought decided to let go of me but to protect me.His actions made me tear up a bit as I hugged him tightly. I can feel he's still furious now because his eyes are red. I looked at him, but he was still not c
DANRIOUS' POV❦❦❦Two years passed, and within those years, I can say everything was fine with Runo and me.I have already graduated as a graphic artist and currently work in a company owned by the Cross family. Yes, I am working under the Cross family, under Kidd's older brother, and Kidd was also working here.I tried applying to other companies under the Lockhart corporation before, but they all rejected my resume because of my father, who still can't accept and was still trying hard to make me suffer. But it's okay since we no longer need his help because I can now supply my family's needs and wants. Runo and I were able to buy our own house and lot in a village here in Dasma.It was a house and lot owned by a Japanese, so the place has a hint of Japanese culture. I am okay with living anywhere as long as I am with my wife. And about Runo, she's busy working in our family business. Auntie Rose, Auntie Mila, and I teamed up together and established a laundry shop.And my brothers a
EPILOGUE❦❦❦Runo Kaelynn Alberona— I entered the mansion as a maid for the Lockhart siblings. At first, I didn't know the truth inside that mansion, but as time passed, I slowly uncovered their secrets. Even my heart was swept into that mystery. I fell in love with one of the siblings, and his name is Danrious. He's a vampire. No, they're all vampires.Nevertheless, I was still happy and didn't regret my decision. We were able to escape from that place, but were we truly able to escape from it?Maybe the chains were still connected to us from that prison. But I don't want to think about that for now because I've already accepted the result of entering that place. Whether I was their toy, pet, or maid, I couldn't meet the people important to me.And I will not have these cute and beautiful children giving me so much joy and love."What should we name them, Runo? Quick! Wahh! They're so cute!" Dan said while playing with his children."You think of it. I'm tired," I muttered weakly, bu
GABRIELLE's POV♡♡♡I quickly walked away from my intimidating senpai.I was carrying all the manga I was reading, and it was almost falling off my arms due to my hurry.When will Daniel Lockhart leave me alone?"Gabs, my love, wait! Matte Kudasai!" Ahh, he's infected now. He's starting to get consumed by anime and speaking in Japanese words too."What's wrong? When will you stop bothering me?" He pouted and tried to act cute as if that would sway me."Don't you want to join me in watching anime?" I shook my head."You're so noisy, and I don't understand what I'm watching." He frowned and sighed."Then just come to eat with me, and then I'll leave you alone." I sighed and gave up."Okay, fine. Just be quiet." I immediately saw his face light up, and he snatched the comics I was carrying."Shall we go?" He smiled at me and started walking ahead.I paused for a moment as if captivated by that radiant smile."Hey, let's go," he said, running back to my side and waiting for me to catch up
