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?
Why Did He Let Me Stay?
Abruptly, Valentine turned around and stormed towards Avelina.
"Sister-in-law, would you mind leaving the room?"
"What?" Avelina was taken aback. "Why?"
Valentine took a deep breath and rubbed his temple, suddenly feeling heavily stressed.
"I will explain to you, but please come with me first. You can stay in the next room, just until Draven is treated completely."
"But Valentine—"
"Please, sister-in-law." Valentine looked at her with pleading eyes. "Come with me first."
Avelina was reluctant, but she agreed to leave in the end. Valentine lifted her off the couch into his arms and walked towards the door. He exited the room and began to approach the next room, which Santino had already unlocked.
"What is going on, Valentine?" Avelina was worried and confused. "Is something wrong?"
Valentine nodded his head at her. "Yes, something is wrong, but it's not your fault."
