When the Perfect Vampire Wife Dies They All Fall Chapter 11
On the night she returned from the cemetery, Lily sat in her studio, staring at the moon.She had just spoken to her mother's grave—about how she would remember the sins of them all.But fate, it seemed, would not allow her to remain a mere observer."Don't kill me! Please!"The cry of a small child cut through the estate's nightly silence.Lily put down her brush and looked from her studio window down into the courtyard.Two black-robed elders were dragging a little girl, who looked no older than six, toward the execution block.The child's clothes were torn and she was covered in blood, clearly having just escaped from hunters."Another product of an illegal turning," one of the elders sneered, raising a silver dagger. "By clan law, the sentence is immediate execution."In an instant, Lily was rushing down the stairs.The little girl was cowering in a corner, her eyes filled with despair and terror.Just like her, all those years ago."Stop."Lily's voice, though still that of a chil

Fifty years later.Lily still had the face of an eight-year-old, but her eyes held the weariness of a century."A new piece by 'L' just sold for a fortune," the gallery manager reported excitedly over the phone. "The buyer would still like to meet you in person.""No," Lily refused in her childish voice. "Tell them the artist is very old and doesn't see guests."No one would have guessed that the "Ghost Painter L," who had taken the art world by storm, was actually a monster trapped in the body of a child.For fifty years, she had lived under a dozen false identities, each painting a scream into the endless night.Silas approached. "Miss Lily, the car is ready.""Let's go." Lily hopped off the chair, not sparing a glance for the priceless painting. "Today is the anniversary of Mother's death."The headstone was already covered in flowers. They were all from her, placed over the years. There were no others.She expertly cleaned the dust from the headstone, her movements as steady as an

"Kill me... Miles, I'm begging you, give me a knife..."At the top of the clock tower, the midday screams were more punctual than the church bells.Vivienne was curled in a corner of the "Sun Cage." The specially enchanted glass filtered out the sun's lethal ultraviolet rays, leaving only a searing heat that felt like a branding iron.Her skin ulcerated and healed, over and over again.Miles stood in the shadows below the tower, clutching a withered lily. He listened to her wails from above, his face a mask of stone."My Lord, are you not going to see her?" Silas asked coldly from behind him. "Today marks one month of her punishment.""No." Miles turned and walked toward the edge of the muddy cemetery he had defiled. "Death would be too easy for her. Her hell is living."He walked to the edge of the cemetery and stopped abruptly.The invisible barrier was still there. If he took one more step, the blood curse Isolde had left behind would scorch his soul.For an entire month, he had be

"Miles! Are you insane? I am the mistress of this house! I am the sole heir to the Vance clan!"Vivienne clutched her throat and scrambled toward the door, her voice hoarse but still dripping with disgusting arrogance. "You dare to harm me? When the lawyers get here, I'll have you thrown out of this estate! I'll make you wander the streets like a dog!""No need to wait, Miss Vivienne. I've been here for the past hour."Sterling, the Vance clan's chief counsel, pushed open the door, a black briefcase in his hand.He stepped over the splintered wood, bowing slightly to Marcus before turning to the others."Silas, secure the video evidence from just now." Sterling adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Based on that recording, Miss Vivienne's actions constitute not 'good-faith inheritance,' but 'murder with malicious intent.'"Vivienne's face went white, and she shrieked, "So what? Isolde signed the papers! She signed them herself! All the assets are mine!""Indeed, she signed. But you clear

The holographic projection didn't stop for Miles's stunned silence.The image changed, displaying a private family physician's diagnostic log, with dates spanning the last three months.The report clearly stated: Subject: Vivienne Thorne. Transformation Status: Complete. Rejection Symptoms: None. Physical Condition: Healthy.Every line was another hammer blow to Miles's face."That's impossible..." The world was spinning around Miles. "She was in pain every day. I saw it with my own eyes..."The screen switched to another file, a recorded phone call.The timestamp was from a week ago.Vivienne's voice filled the room, light and cheerful, completely lacking her usual feigned weakness."Your Majesty, Wolf King, the plan is proceeding smoothly.""How are things on Isolde's end?" a gruff male voice asked."She's dying," Vivienne laughed, her tone demonic. "The Blood Blight, with no cure. She won't last more than a few days. I have Miles completely wrapped around my finger. He'll do anythi
When the Perfect Vampire Wife Dies They All Fall Chapter 6
Miles felt a hollow terror expand in his chest, a sensation he hadn't felt in centuries. Miles followed his finger. He saw the pile of silver-gray dust shimmering in the sunlight.He collapsed heavily to the ground, his legs giving out beneath him. The Duke of the Vampire World crawled across the floor toward the pile of ash, dragging his expensive coat through the dirt.He made guttural, choking sounds, "No, no, no..." He shook his head violently, tears of blood streaming down his face, mixing with the dust on the floor. He tried to scoop the ash up, but his hands shook so uncontrollably that he couldn't hold it. "Put her back together, Silas! Fix her! Use magic! I'll give you anything! Just put her back!""You have desecrated her, My Lord."Miles didn't hear him. He curled around the pile of ash, shielding it with his body, rocking back and forth. "It's cold. She's cold. Isolde hates the cold. Why didn't you turn on the heater?!" He screamed at the empty room, his sanity fractur
