All Chapters of Sold To A Vampire : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

RUBY POV I couldn't stop replaying the events of the previous night in my mind—the punishment, the brutality, and everything that unfolded before my eyes. The memories lingered relentlessly, yet I never dared question Zyren about any of it. "Little one, wake up. It's morning." "We have a party to attend," he said gently. "And we have to be there on time." "So, go get dressed in one of the outfits we bought yesterday." "Don't keep me waiting," he added before walking out of the room. I remained perfectly still, pretending to be asleep. The moment he realized I still hadn't budged from the bed, his patience wore paper-thin. "Hey! Ruby!" he bellowed. "Am I talking to a living being here?" I sprang out of bed as though my life depended on it, not daring to test his patience any further, and made a beeline for the bathroom. "What the hell, Ruby?" he growled. "Do you enjoy being shouted at? Or are you deliberately trying to get on my nerves?" I stepped into the bathroom

RUBY POV I woke up around 4:00 a.m., only to find myself wrapped around Zyren like a cat. Damn… how did I end up here? A dull ache spread across my neck from the bruises left behind. The memories of everything that happened replayed in my mind. I covered my mouth, suppressing a laugh to avoid disturbing his sleep. Who would have imagined the mighty Prince Zyren—the vampire everyone feared—could shed tears? "The rich also cry," I whispered, laughing like an idiot. Why am I laughing right now? Is this actually funny? Yes... it is. A quiet laugh escaped me again as I tried to keep myself from waking him. I quietly slipped back to my own bed and fell asleep almost instantly, like a baby. By 7:30 a.m., I was the first one awake again. I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and took a shower. Maybe I should look around for a while before he wakes up. I might be able to find Bella and her sister. When I finished bathing, I went to the closet and picked out a p

ZYREN CORVION POV I literally cried in front of her.Heh... Unbelievable. "Ruby!" I barked.What the hell were you staring at? I demanded. "Hmph..." I exhaled quietly, forcing my composure back into place. No one gets to see my weakness... not even her. The moment my eyes darkened, she immediately let go of my hand.A pity... I had hoped she wouldn't. But the fear in her eyes told me otherwise.Zyren... I cursed inwardly. Can’t you be a little calmer for once? "Ruby..." I called gently, making sure my voice carried none of the anger from moments ago. "Would you like to go clubbing with me?" For a brief moment, surprise flickered across her face before it gave way to a genuine smile. She gave a small nod. "It's been a long time since I last stepped into a club." I found myself smiling faintly. I've spent my entire existence living cautiously, constantly on guard, never fully trusting anyone around me. The only place where I allow myself to breathe freely and lower m

RUBY POV It's been weeks since Zyren stepped into this room. Hmm... is he hiding from me? Or is he still embarrassed because he sang me to sleep? A smile tugged at my lips. Whatever the reason, I'm not complaining. I could sleep whenever I wanted, eat whenever I felt like it, and no one was hovering over me every second of the day. The last time I saw Andrew, he had knocked on Zyren's door looking for me, but Kai sent him away. Eh... not my problem. Vampire family drama. I'll stay out of it. I hummed to myself, spinning around the room. Then— Wait a minute…. What if I ask Prince Zyren to get me a piano? My eyes widened. Oh my God! I miss playing the piano. Mom and Dad taught me when I was little. After Mom died... I couldn't bring myself to touch one again. And Dad... He was never the same. But... why hasn't Dad come looking for me? Not even once... Has he really forgotten that he has a daughter? I shook the thoughts away and decided to kee

RUBY POV The last few weeks had been surprisingly nice. Zyren and I had grown a lot closer, and somehow, being around him no longer felt awkward. We spent more time talking, teasing each other, and simply enjoying each other’s company. I found myself looking forward to those little moments with him more than I cared to admit. Even so, I never forgot who he was. He was still the Vampire Prince. And I was… me. There were still lines I didn’t dare cross. One thing had changed, though. I no longer called him “Boss.” He was the one who stopped me. “Ruby,” he’d said with a small smile, “stop calling me Boss. Just call me Zyren.” At first, it felt strange. Now… It felt strangely right. *** I was getting dressed when he suddenly walked up behind me and tickled my waist. “Gosh! You scared me!” I exclaimed. “Oh? Really?” he replied with a grin. “By the way, you look stunning.” His eyes roamed over me before he looked back into mine, a playful smile tuggi
