A Game Of Chess With A Vampire
[SLOW BURN ROMANCE. RATED 18: NO RAPE] What if the sort of love you'd wanted and desired, only but a man incapable of love could give it to you–a man who has not the slightest of an idea what the word "Love" meant? ..... Vampires coexisted with humans for centuries without either side hunting or killing the other due to a peace treaty. They didn’t feed on human blood for so long either, but that changes when the first vampire auction is held. Six human slaves were sold, and among them included Avelina, a twenty-six-year-old woman. Avelina is sold to an infamous Vampire prince, Draven Delgaard, rumored to have committed heinous acts even amongst his kind. She fears for her life upon their first encounter, but to her utmost bewilderment, Draven Delgaard makes a deal with her. He sought the inheritance of the royal family, but to be qualified, he needed a wife. Since his kinds weren’t available due to his reputation, Avelina was one of the few options left. In exchange for her freedom, she will assist him in obtaining the inheritance. But this royal inheritance can only be acquired through the style of a chess game with other royal opponents. A game of strategy and survival. Should she succeed, her freedom shall be regained and it would be a win-win for both her and Draven. However, she soon realizes that success might come at a very heavy cost. Will Avelina and Draven be able to win the game of chess? Will they secure her freedom and inheritance, or will they fall victim to the dangerous machinations of the royal family?
Leave With Him, Please
Ryan lowered his head, suddenly feeling his eyes getting wet.
"Natasha, even just caring is enough. A person who cares about you is willing to do so much for you and your well-being. How much more of a person who loves you? That is the difference between you and me."
"You do not love me, nor do you care. But on my end, I give you both. My love and my care. There is nothing that I have not done for you. What more do you want me to do? I asked you to wait and let me handle it because I knew you would make a mistake. I was afraid for you, and I just wanted you to be safe, just like I always have."
"Loved me or not, I did not care. You're still my wife, and just because you may not feel the same way does not mean I will overlook you. You—"
"No, Ryan, that is not true!" Natasha interrupted. "I messed up, I know that, I hurt you, I know that, but I really do lo—"
"Allow me to finish my words, Natasha." Ryan's expression was cold.
