Chapter 11: Help! I’m in a Love Triangle with My Maid and a Vampire Duke!

Chapter 11: Help! I'm in a Love Triangle with My Maid and a Vampire Duke!

Step One: Panic. Just Panic.

I was officially losing my mind.

My choices were:

1. Marry the vampire duke.

2. Fake-date my maid.

3. Jump out the window and flee to another country.

Honestly, Option 3 was looking real good right now.

"L-Let's all calm down," I stammered. "There's no need for hasty decisions."

Damian raised an eyebrow. "You threw a muffin at me. I don't think you understand the concept of 'not hasty.'"

Lila snickered. TRAITOR.

Step Two: Try to Negotiate (And Fail Miserably)

I took a deep breath. Okay, Seraphina. Time to think.

I turned to Damian. "What do I have to do to get out of this marriage?"

He tilted his head. "Nothing."

I blinked. "Excuse me?"

"You don't have to do anything." His smirk widened. "Because you're not getting out of it."

I felt actual rage.

"THAT'S NOT HOW DEALS WORK!"

He shrugged. "It is when I'm the one making them."

I hate him. I hate him so much.

Step Three: Get Betrayed By My Own Maid

I turned to Lila. "Help me."

Lila tapped her chin. "Hmm… I don't know, my lady. Being a duchess sounds pretty nice."

…

SHE WAS ENJOYING THIS.

"I thought you were on my side!" I hissed.

She smiled. "I am. I'm on the side that's funniest."

OH MY GOD.

Step Four: Make a Dramatic Escape

I had one option left.

I ran for the window.

Unfortunately—

Damian caught my wrist.

He pulled me back.

Into his arms.

OH NO.

Step Five: Why Is This Stupid Vampire So Hot?

His breath was warm against my ear.

"You're not running from me, Seraphina," he murmured.

I forgot how to breathe.

Lila, in the background, was fake swooning.

I was about to combust.

Step Six: Accept My Fate

"…Fine," I muttered. "I won't run."

Damian smirked. "Good girl."

I will stab him.

Lila sighed dramatically. "Ah, the tension. If only I weren't the third wheel."

I groaned. Why is my life like this?!
