Illegitimate Child Of The Alaister Family

Dine With The Vampire

"Wait! Can't you let me stay for just one more month? I swear I'll find a way to pay!" Prim pleaded with her landlord. "Your grace period is over! You've been behind on rent for four months now. I won't wait until it becomes five! I'd rather rent the place to someone else than keep losing money waiting for you!" "But I really do have the money! I just had a streak of bad luck-" "I don't care whether you can pay or not! I already found a new tenant to replace you. Now, get out! I won't give you another chance, no matter how much you beg! Or do you want me to demand full payment of your debt right this moment?!" Prim's POV Hours had passed since I was thrown out of my apartment. I still had some money left, just enough for food for a few days. But I had nowhere else to go. My feet led me to the park-the only place that gave me a sense of relief. "What am I supposed to do now?" I sighed. My thoughts were interrupted by a rustling sound coming from the dense trees nearby. Then, out of nowhere, a man was thrown to the ground right in front of me. "A-Are you okay?" I stood up in alarm. His clothes were stained with blood, and his body was covered in wounds and scratches. I knew it was dangerous to approach him, but I couldn't just leave him like that. Besides, I was already here. Ignoring him wouldn't be right. "Argh... Stay away!" He pushed me back, making me fall onto the grass. I caught a glimpse of his fangs and glowing red eyes. "Y-You're a vampire?" I blurted out. "Get out of here if you want to live!" he snapped, standing up as if he wasn't injured. "This isn't a place you should be wandering around at this hour." I hadn't realized how late it was-I had been too lost in thought. "Geez, so grumpy," I mumbled with a pout. "I was just trying to help, and you're the one being rude!" "Just shut up and-" Before he could finish, a second vampire suddenly leaped from the treetops, attacking me. I screamed, thinking I was done for-but before the creature could sink its fangs into me, the injured vampire intercepted the attack, taking the hit instead. "ARGHHH!!" he cried out in pain. Panicked, I hid behind a tree, watching as they fought. The battle was intense, but after a few moments, he managed to defeat the other vampire, reducing it to ashes. But right after, he collapsed onto the grass. I rushed over in a panic. "Mr. Vampire-" "Go home..." he muttered with his eyes closed. "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked, worried. Of course, I wasn't just concerned about him-I had nowhere to go tonight, but admitting that felt embarrassing. "I-I'm just too lazy to go home yet..." I lied. "Who was that vampire you fought?" I changed the subject. "You know I'm a vampire, yet you don't seem scared," he said, staring at me intently. His gaze made me uncomfortable. "W-Why should I be afraid of you?" I avoided his eyes. "You just saved my life, and judging by your clothes, you're obviously upper-class. Unless... you're actually interested in my cheap blood?" He chuckled, covering his forehead with his hand before closing his eyes again. "Who would be interested in a kid like you?" he muttered. "Kid?" I huffed. "I bet you're only a few years older than me. You can't just call me a kid!" "Did you already forget that I'm a vampire? Of course, you're a kid in my eyes. I've been alive for decades, long before you were even born." "Fair point," I admitted. "But if we're talking human years, you don't look that old." "I'm not going to argue with you. Just go home and sleep." I pouted at him. Though this wasn't the first time I had seen vampires fighting, it was still hard to get used to. And honestly, this was my first real conversation with one. Upper-class vampires usually kept to themselves, interacting only with their social equals or fellow vampires. It was rare for them to talk to humans like he did with me. The World of Vampires and Humans Humans and vampires coexist peacefully in this era, but conflicts and crimes still happen. Society has grown accustomed to their presence, as this is the Vampire Era-a time when humanity has fully acknowledged their existence. You can see them walking down the streets, leaping across rooftops, working in convenience stores, or even running major corporations. Some are celebrities, politicians, or just ordinary citizens living their lives. The government and the vampire council have formed an alliance, enforcing laws that both species must follow. Though some still see vampires as monsters, they, too, are bound by rules-including strict bans against harming mortals. The Vampire Police ensures that any violators face proper punishment. Of course, not everyone agrees with this system, but most have accepted these changes. Back to the Present I was about to return to the bench when I heard a phone ringing. "Uh... someone's calling you," I said, but the vampire didn't react. "Are you asleep?" I hesitated. Sho

The Slaved Boss

"Marry my daughter." I shifted my gaze from my glass of wine and stared at him in disbelief. Those were the last words I expected to hear from his mouth. I was no stranger to marriage proposals from my business associates. Many had tried to push their daughters toward me, hoping to gain something in return. And each time, I rejected them without hesitation. But this time was different. This was Lucas Angelo Ferrer-my fiercest rival in the business world. So why would he suddenly walk into my office with such a proposal? What was he really after?

My Three Stepbrothers

I woke up to loud knocking and someone repeatedly shouting my name. I was sure it was Aling Lourdes, the owner of this rental place. Aling Lourdes shouted, "I stood up and immediately opened the door for her." "Well, Maki, it seems like you're forgetting something?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. "Aling Lourdes, I don't have any money right now. Can I—" I couldn't finish my sentence because she interrupted. "If you can't pay, you should leave now. Nothing is free, and if you don't, I'll report you to the barangay," she said before leaving. I took a deep breath and decided to leave this place. •3 hours ago• I was outside Aling Lourdes' apartment, still thinking about where I should go when my phone suddenly rang. I answered it. "Hello?" "Maki? How are you, my child?" I couldn't respond when I heard my dad's voice. "What do you want?" I asked coldly. "Look at you, your attitude never changes," Dad said. "If you don't have anything good to say, I'll hang up now," I said irritably. "Maki, why don't you come live here so you can see how beautiful it is?" Dad suggested. "In your dreams," I started to say, but then I remembered I needed a place to stay. "Just send me the address," I said curtly and ended the call. My phone vibrated, and I saw the address he sent. I smirked a little and called a taxi. •Fast Forward• I was now in front of his mansion, and someone greeted me and told me to follow them. I stopped walking when I got inside. The place was huge and beautiful. I was startled when someone spoke behind me. "So, it's you?" the person said, looking angry. "M-me?" I stammered, pointing at myself. "Who else, stupid?" the person said before turning away. "HEY, YOU'RE SO ARROGANT! I'LL STRANGLE YOU!" I shouted, moving closer. "Sure, if you can, brat," the person said mockingly. I was about to hit him with my bag when someone laughed loudly.
