LOGINSo there I was, stuck in this dark Victorian mansion for a whole freaking century, thinking I'd never get out. Then, out of nowhere, these two gorgeous girls swoop in and rescue me! I couldn't believe it, and we instantly hit it off. They showed me a whole new world I'd only ever imagined, and I was all about living a normal human life. But just when I thought things were looking up, this vampire named Vivaldi pops up out of thin air, grinning like a possessed Jack-o'-lantern. I mean, a name like Vivaldi is bound to give you the creeps, right? He claimed I had some ancient first blood running through my veins and demanded that I sign some crazy blood contract with him—the kind of deal that comes with some seriously freaky consequences. Vivaldi was trying to sell me the idea that this blood contract was his only lifeline, the only way to save his skin from something worse than death. But I wasn't some clueless newborn vamp; I knew better than to just dive into something as serious as a blood contract. Those things come with some heavy consequences, and I wasn't about to sign up for that without a second thought. The problem was, if I didn't go along with his messed-up plan, he promised to make my friends' lives a living hell—the very people I'd started to care about. I was trapped between a rock and a hard place. If I decided to team up with Vivaldi, I'd be keeping him around, which is far from ideal. But if I refused, my friends and the whole town of Shadowvale would be in serious danger. It felt like I was caught in this impossible situation, like I was trying to choose between two rotten apples.
View MoreToday is such a beautiful day...
"Mom, what did you say? You want me to get married? To Who? What types of a person is he?" questions started to flow out one by one
"Ha-ha. An arranged marriage in the 21st century, tell me, mom, you're just kidding" She tried to laugh it off.
Ok, today might not be a beautiful day, at least for a certain someone.
That girl has long dark hair that is soft and silky. Her lip is plumb which, gives off a sexy vibe when she opens and closes her mouth.
But the most attractive of her is her eyes.
Her dark brown eyes can suck every man’s soul by just one look and, with her long eyelashes that fluttered like a butterfly every time she blinks. She made others want to care for and protected her.
She is Fang Aylin.
"Come sit down and listens to mom first. He is your aunt Li's son." The woman extended her arm to bring her daughter to sit next to her and started singing the praise of her potential future son-in-law.
"Do you remember the day I met with an accident? The day that you BUSY with your business. He is the one who helps me get to the hospital. Of course, I can tell he is a good person." said a woman in her 40s. she is beautiful and graceful. People could tell that she is Aylin's mother because they both looked so much alike.
She is Madam Fang, Fang Yunxie. Aunt Li is Li Shaonan. Her mom's high school friend.
Aylin rubbed her nose in awkward. Well, because her mom mentioned that BUSY day. The day that she busied shopping for her new dresses.
You can't say that she was an unfulfilled daughter. It was coincident that she forgot to bring her phone with her so her mom couldn't contact her. If she had known it, she would have thrown everything and came to her mom asap.
She heard from her mom that she drove by herself without bringing her driver with her and got hit by a sleepy taxi driver. Fortunately, both of them didn't get any severe injury. But that driver was unreasonable. He wanted her mom to compensate for the damage.
And as for her mom, even though she's rich, she won't give in because it was not her fault. She didn't want to agree with his request, and so they argued. He almost hit her mom if not for a boy who came to save her in time. She couldn't believe that boy turned out to be her mom's best friend's son and, what's worst; he was the one her mom arranged for her?
"Mom, even if he helped you once, you want to repay his kindness by letting me marry him?" said the girl in a frustrated tone.
If she remembered correctly, it has been two years since that day. When she hadn't gone abroad yet, she just took off from the plane today to reunite with her beloved family, but who knows that she got to hear this shocking news instead.
"Yes, but that not the main reason. You tell me how old are you this year? You nearly 23 still; you don't have a boyfriend to show your mother. I already have you when I'm at your age."
The girl showed a speechless expression. Her mom got married at age 22. That was another reason why she was so against this marriage.
"Yes, I'm 23, mom. 23, not 43. I'm still YOUNG."
"Do you hate your daughter so much?" She started to show her remorse to gain her mother's sympathy. "You don't want to see me anymore that you can't wait to marry this daughter off?" After saying, She wiped her none-exist teardrop.
"What do you mean I hate you? Are you asking for a beating?" Her mom raised her hand as if she would hit her for real. Of course, she wouldn't dare to lay her hand on her precious daughter.
Others may not know, but people who worked here knew for sure how much Madam Fang loves her only daughter.
"Because I love you, that is why I arrange this marriage. I find a good and handsome husband for you and, you still think I hate you." She caressed her daughter's hair.
"You know I have good eyes for people. I know that he can protect and loves you for the rest of your life. That what I promise you." She reassured her.
"I want you to open your heart for someone who worth it and forget about that incident..." at the last part, her voice got softer and softer that almost couldn't be heard as she noticed she had slipped out what she shouldn't say. But Aylin could still hear the last sentence.
That incident was her nightmare. The thing that she couldn't erase from her memory no matter how hard she tried.
When Madam Fang saw her daughter's expression, she tried to change the topic.
"You can engage first. As for the marriage, there is still more time to think about it. Give it a try. Ok?" With a half begging and a half firm tone, she said.
"Ok, we'll talk later. I'm going to rest. I'm tired." She kissed her mom’s cheeks. "Sorry, mom. I think I can't eat dinner with you." Then got up and walked upstairs without letting her mom say anything.
"Madam, let's Miss rests first. She just arrived. She must be exhausted." said the man in his 50s. He had an upright posture when walk and talk.
He is Mr. You, a butler, and madam fang's right hand.
"And..." It seemed like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
"You want to ask me why I make such a discussion? I know she is still young but, I want her to let go of that past. Only she finds a person who will treat her better only then she knows how to love herself."
"You know what? When I saw that boy, I have a feeling that he can change her and let her become her old self. Besides, his parents are my friend. I know well what their characters are. I'm sure they treat her like their own child."
It was like fate that the boy who saved her turned out to be her friend's son. She had met him when he was young, but that was a long time ago. Later she moved to Korea. After she came back, she wouldn't have thought she would meet him again.
"You know my daughter always has to suffer since birth. While others can play happily at the playground, she has to stay in the hospital, endure all the pain. But she is such an optimist child. She can still smile and laugh through it."
"I always feel sorry for her. That is why I want to make sure that she gets our love as much as possible." She spoke with heartache and anger. "But how could they do such a thing to my precious daughter? If not for her begging me not to make things big, I would probably sue them all and put them in jail." She clenched her fists.
The old man also had the same expressions. After all, he lived here for so long. He always regarded Aylin as his daughter.
"Madam gives her some time to think." That was the only thing he could say. For a mom who loves her daughter to make this decision, he; himself couldn't judge.
His little Miss faced many terrible things in her life. He also hoped that she could overcome her biggest nightmare and be happy again.

Aylin closed the door and laid down on the soft bed. She knew that her mom did everything just for her goods, but she was not ready.
~Casper's POV~“CASTOR, FOR CHRIST SAKE, don't listen to this him,” Scarlett begs, her voice laced with desperation, but Castor just rolls his eyes at her pleas. He fixes his steely gaze on me, and time slows down as he begins folding his sleeves up like a boss. After he's done, he cracks his knuckles, the sound echoing through the air like a challenge. “I dare you to repeat what you said, you punk,” he sneers.I feel Chloe's grasp on my hand, her eyes telling me to ignore the temptation, to not take the bait. Scarlett tries to move towards me, but Castor pulls her to himself, manhandling her like a rag doll. I grit my teeth at the sight, my anger boiling over.So, this is what Scarlett goes through with this guy? Well, my presence is about to change that. Scarlett and Winter aren't just friends; they're the closest thing I have to family. After a century of being alone, they're the ones who make me feel human again. They saved me when I was at my lowest, and now it's my turn to retur
~Casper's POV~I'M SITTING HERE, PRETENDING TO BE OBLIVIOUS, nodding along like a bobblehead, and forcing out silly fake laughs. Meanwhile, my mind is a jumbled mess of emotions, a war zone of worries, and a circus of crazy thoughts.Scarlett and Chloe are yapping away, completely clueless about the turmoil brewing inside me. They're discussing the “super cops” – aka WVH – and the destructive windstorm that ripped through town like a bad haircut. I'm showing sympathy, making supportive noises, and sipping my tea, all while my brain is preoccupied with Winter. Those piercing blue eyes of hers have me twisted in knots – the fear that flickers in her eyes whenever she looks at me. It's like a punch to the gut, and a slap in the face all rolled into one.Will she ever look at me the same way again? Or will she expose me to Scarlett, ruining the one friendship that's kept me sane since my release from the mansion? The thought alone is enough to drive me crazy, to push me over the edge, and
I'M SITTING IN MY DESK, HALFWAY through a physics lesson, when I feel a light tap on my shoulder. I twist around to see a beautiful girl, her features as delicate as a porcelain doll's. She's got captivating emerald eyes, framed by impossibly long, dark lashes, and a button nose that suits her heart-shaped face perfectly. Her golden locks cascade over her shoulders like a silken waterfall. Her soft pink lips part slightly as she leans in, a hint of rose-scented perfume teasing my senses. In a hushed, musical voice, she whispers, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but your girlfriend wanted me to give you this note." Her voice is so low I have to strain to catch every word, but her crystal-clear tone reminds me of a tinkling bell. My brows crease in confusion at the mention of a girlfriend. As far as I know, I don't have one! But I set aside that mystery for now and nod a silent thanks to the girl, turning my attention back to the droning teacher. Her slender fingers brush mine, soft as v
WHEN I AWOKE, AN EERIE SILENCE filled the room. I cautiously surveyed my surroundings, taking in the horrific scene before me. Agatha's lifeless body sprawled across the floor, and DeAndre lay nearby, his heart torn from his chest. Ignoring the grotesque dead vampires and Werewolves, I rushed to the ornate window where Cassius would often gaze out. My heart sank as I took in the sight of hundreds of lifeless bodies scattered across the grounds. Tears stung my eyes, and I fell to my knees, sobbing at the realization that my master lay among them. "No!" I cried, unwilling to accept the truth before me. Desperate for a closer look, I bolted for the front door, only to find myself teleported back to the living room. Confused and distraught, I tried every possible exit—doors, windows, any opening I could find—but each attempt only brought me back to the same spot. Defeated and devastated, I slumped to the floor, my cries echoing through the mansion. Suddenly, a cold hand grasped my l
I'M HUNCHED OVER, SUCKING IN AIR as blood dribbles down my chin. Wincing, I yank out the arrows lodged in my chest one by one, the pain making me hiss through my teeth. I rise to my feet with a grunt and lift my shirt, watching in morbid fascination as my wounds close up like some sick magic trick.
CHLOE WAS STRETCHED OUT ON THE HOSPITAL bed, staring at her phone like it was her ticket to a candy paradise. She was hooked on Candy Crush, with the bright colors and shapes practically exploding right in front of her face. Meanwhile, Scarlett was chilling in a chair, scrolling away on her phone a
PEERING INTO ANGEL'S EYES, IT WAS LIKE looking into a sad, deflated birthday balloon of his soul. And boy, was he in a pickle! “Listen, pal,” he said, desperation leaking from every pore, “I need your help! This whole vampire thing is ruining my life and I wanna be the boss of it, not the other
WITH A SURGE OF ADRENALINE, I MANAGED TO break free from Angel's iron grip. I was on the verge of making my grand escape, ready to zoom down the stairs in a lightning-fast blur, when – BAM! Angel's fist collided with my face, sending me tumbling down the stairs like a rag doll. I hit the first floor
