The Vampire King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

He didn't work from home, he worked from the cafe and she steered clear of it. She didn't get affected by strangers misbehaving normally but he was entirely different and she had a feeling he was trouble. Somehow he found his way to the garden where she relocated to."What exactly do you want with me?" She asked with a frustrated groan.He lowered himself unto the grass, placing an extra smoothie on her textbook."I said I wanted to be friends. What's so hard to believe in that?" He answered.She eyed him, thinking of further ways to elude him."I am persistent," he told her as if reading her thoughts, "I don't have a lot of work so I'll just keep following you around."Her lips folded into a thin line. Perhaps if she kept eluding him, it would only make him chase her more; after all, every man loved a female challenge but if she stayed and pretended to appreciate his company... A broken heart would be the perfect thing to keep him away from her.She fixed him with a displeased look.

The restaurant he took her to wasn't one she was used to. After all, there was only so much she could afford with the meagre money she ended up with after paying a plethora of bills. She who usually always walked with her head raised a little too high, felt a bit out of place. "Did you really have to go so fancy?" She asked as they were ushered to a table by a stiff male waiter. Perhaps it was his first day on the job. "You said you wanted expensive," he shot her a look, pulling out her chair. She sat, swallowing back further complaints. She did request for expensive. The waiter handed them a menu each. Ezekiel looked through. "Pasta?" He looked at the waiter, "the pasta dish." "And you ma'am?" She looked through the menu. "Same," she replied, finding nothing else of interest. The table was quiet as they waited for their meal. He stared at her while she looked around, finding it difficult to hold his intense gaze. "Why do you enjoy looking at me?" She asked abruptly when her ga

Ezekiel's eyes darted to the door. The knock sounded again. He swiftly pulled off his shirt."Stay hidden," he whispered to Isabel then went to answer the door."Yes?" He called out."Room 32, your condoms are available," a female voice announced cheerily from behind."This is room 26, we don't need condoms," he replied, his tension easing."Oh," there was a pause, "oh my goodness, that's true. So sorry, please carry on and don't mind my disturbance. Such a foolish mistake."He waited until the sound of footsteps had disappeared before he turned back to Isabel who was by the bathroom door where she couldn't be viewed from the doorway."Sorry," he apologized, "it was a mistake. Someone ordered condoms."She nodded and returned to her place on the floor with her stationeries this time."We can begin," she spoke.She was suddenly withdrawn and as he taught, she got distracted time and time again.He sighed when she failed a simple question for the fourth time."You know you can tell me w

It was past 9 am. Ezekiel waited at the cafe, his coffee untouched. Where was she? Was she mad at him for not helping her out? Did she read his note? Was she still asleep? Did she...He groaned, running a hand through his already roughened hair. He tapped his fingers continuously against the table.Past 10 am, he got up and drove to her home. He hesitated as he made to ring the bell. Wasn't he overreacting? Perhaps, she was angry and didn't feel like seeing him. He turned around, gritted his teeth, whirled back around, and rang the bell. Since he was already here, he might as well see her. He rang it three more times before someone answered. A man, that looked too much like her."Morning, son. How can I help you?" The friendly-looking man asked."Isabel. Isabel Romero. I'm here to see her," he answered quickly.The man smiled, "that's my daughter. She isn't home yet. She works the night shift at some place and normally, she would be back by now but she isn't.""Oh." Was she still at t

Max was waiting when they stepped into the house."Are you good?" He asked at once, worry etched on his face.She blinked, "yeah, I am. How have you been?""I managed. Your friend here helped me out," he answered, "you look tired. Go into your room and sleep more."She nodded, not used to the long conversation."I'll get going now," Ezekiel spoke, looking between the both of them then he said to her, "give me a call when you wake, okay?""Okay." She nodded, melting at the concern in his eyes.She watched him leave."Are you both in a relationship?"She turned back to her father, "no.""I want to know what happened," Max demanded, his face and tone now serious, "and I want to know who dared to rape you.""Can we talk about it after I wake?"He stared at her, "okay. After you wake," he replied sternly.She nodded and ventured into her room. She sank into her bed with a sigh. She didn't like it, she didn't like any of it at all. She rubbed the back of her neck. His laughter, his smile, h
