Chapter 14: Help! My Fiance is a Possessive Vampire, and My Maid is No Better!
Chapter 14: Help! My Fiance is a Possessive Vampire, and My Maid is No Better!
Step One: Accept That My Life is a Soap Opera
I woke up the next morning expecting peace.
… That was my first mistake.
Because the second I opened my eyes—
Damian was sitting by my bed.
STARING AT ME.
"WHAT THE—?!" I screamed, grabbing my pillow like a weapon.
He raised an eyebrow. "Good morning."
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!"
He smirked. "Because I can be."
Step Two: Process the Madness
I squinted. "Did you sit there all night?"
Damian nodded. LIKE A TOTAL PSYCHOPATH.
"…Why?" I whispered, terrified.
His smirk widened. "To make sure you were safe."
My brain short-circuited.
"That's creepy!"
He shrugged. "I disagree."
OH MY GOD.
Step Three: Complain to My Only Support System (Who Betrays Me)
I stormed into the dining hall and flopped into a chair.
"Lila," I groaned, "I need you to assassinate my fiancé."
Lila, unfazed, kept drinking her tea. "Mmm. Hard pass."
I gasped. "TRAITOR."
She smirked. "Besides, he's growing on me. It's fun watching him drive you crazy."
I gaped at her. "I thought you were on my side!"
"I am," she said sweetly. "I'm on the side of maximum entertainment."
Step Four: Get Ambushed by a Romantic Gesture (That Backfires)
Damian suddenly walked in.
And behind him—
Was an entire army of servants.
Holding—
GIFTS.
"What… is this?" I asked slowly.
Damian smirked. "An engagement gift."
I blinked. "Engagement… gift?"
Then the servants unveiled the presents.
Dozens of dresses.
Rare gemstones.
A literal freaking pet dragon.
…
WHAT.
Step Five: Accidentally Provoke the Jealous Maid
Lila narrowed her eyes.
"Oh?" she said. "So now you're showering her with gifts?"
Damian smirked. "Isn't that what a fiancé should do?"
Lila huffed.
Oh no.
She turned to me. "Well, I can give gifts too, you know."
I blinked. "Wait, hold on—"
She suddenly pulled out a necklace. A beautiful, sapphire necklace.
Then she fastened it around my neck.
Damian's eyes darkened.
Oh.
OH.
I WAS IN DANGER.
Step Six: Get Stuck in a Stupid Competition
Damian leaned in. "That necklace doesn't suit her."
Lila smirked. "I think it does."
Damian yanked me into his lap.
I SQUEAKED.
"She belongs to me," he said smoothly.
Lila wrapped an arm around my waist. "Funny, I don't see your name on her."
I AM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE, HELLO?!
I wiggled violently. "LET ME GO, YOU CRAZY PEOPLE!"
They ignored me.
Step Seven: Realize I Have Officially Lost Control
I facepalmed.
I just wanted to survive.
Not be fought over like a rare piece of steak!
Damian smirked. "It seems you have two admirers now, Seraphina."
Lila winked. "Whoever wins, you get spoiled. Sounds like a good deal."
I whimpered.
Somebody save me.
To Be Continued…
