Chapter 17: HELP! My Kidnapper is Flirting With Me?!
Step One: Accept That I Have No Control Over My Life
So. Let's summarize.
1. I got kidnapped—by my own fiancé.
2. He took me to a romantic restaurant.
3. He is smirking way too much.
4. I WANT TO GO HOME.
But of course, Damian Evernight, Overgrown Bat Extraordinaire, had other plans.
Step Two: Realize He's Too Good at This
I scowled. "You do realize this is technically a crime, right?"
He rested his chin on his hand. "And?"
I gasped. "AND?! I could have you arrested!"
He chuckled. "You won't."
I glared. "Oh? And why not?"
He smirked. "Because you like it."
…
SIR. EXCUSE ME?!
I choked on my drink. "LIKE IT?!"
He leaned forward. WAY too close.
"You're smiling," he whispered.
I slapped my hands over my mouth. BETRAYED BY MY OWN FACE.
Step Three: Attempt to Escape (And Fail, Again)
I grabbed my fork.
Plan: Stab and Run.
I raised it—
He caught my wrist.
And then, HE KISSED MY HAND.
I SHORT-CIRCUITED.
Step Four: MAID TO THE RESCUE?!
Just when I thought I was doomed—
CRASH!
The restaurant doors slammed open.
A familiar voice shouted:
"UNHAND MY LADY, YOU BLOODSUCKER!"
I whipped around.
LILA?!
Step Five: Witness Absolute Chaos
Lila stormed in, wielding a frying pan.
A FRYING PAN.
Damian blinked. "...Where did you even get that?"
Lila pointed it at him. "LET. HER. GO."
I gasped. "ARE YOU ABOUT TO FIGHT MY FIANCÉ WITH A FRYING PAN?!"
She nodded. "Yes."
Damian sighed. "Must we do this?"
Lila swung.
BANG.
Damian dodged. "Tsk. Missed me."
Lila swung again.
BANG BANG BANG.
Damian teleported behind her.
"You're slow," he whispered.
Lila whirled around and—
THREW THE FRYING PAN AT HIS HEAD.
BONK.
Silence.
I gasped.
OH. MY. GOD.
Damian staggered.
Then—
He smirked. "You're feisty."
SIR, WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH MY MAID?!
Step Six: The Escape Plan
I grabbed Lila's hand.
"We're leaving."
"But—"
"Nope. No buts. WE ARE LEAVING."
I dragged her out.
Damian watched us go.
Still smirking.
WHY IS HE ALWAYS SMIRKING?!
Step Seven: Realize My Life is DOOMED
Back at the mansion, I collapsed on my bed.
Lila sat beside me. "Are you okay, my lady?"
"No." I groaned. "I am trapped in a love triangle with a smug vampire and my overly loyal maid."
She smiled. "It's not a bad love triangle."
I stared.
"LILA, THAT'S NOT THE POINT."
