The Heiress Intrigue

“W-Well…” Ingrid started explaining. “You see… When I was using my charm to cast the spell on your parents, I had to think of an alibi they might believe!” She bit her lip. “So, I said that, uh… w-we’re engaged.” The vampire heiress quickly lowered her head in embarrassment once again, placing both hands on her face so she wouldn’t be looking directly at Rohit.

The young man blushed and swallowed, as his legs began trembling. The thought of having a fiancé when he didn’t even have a girlfriend was a lot to take in, even if it was being used as a cover story. “I suppose that was a good guise…” he concurred and cleared his throat, as he ruffled the back of his hair. “At least you won’t really have to hide out here all the time.”

She peeped through her fingers. “Sorry for putting this additional pressure on you…”

Rohit flexed his cheeks before assuring with a confident smile, “I’ll adapt.”

Ingrid sheepishly grinned and nodded.
