Devoted to You

London, England. 2012.

In a room in the old castle, a young girl was lying naked on a bed. The dim light from the candles lit up her beautiful unconscious body. The door to the room opened and a man with short black hair walked in. His name was Cedric Valerius. He was the second son of The Vampire King.

Cedric stood by the girl staring at her lustfully, starting from her face, slowly down to her breasts and stopping at her pussy. His black eyes suddenly turned red like blood. He was like a wild animal that stalks its prey. He then took off his clothes slowly and moved so he was above her body.

Their faces were so close. His nose softly brushed against her cheek. He whispered in her left ear, his voice deep and gravelly.

"Wake up."

The girl opened her eyes, struck by his terrifying but handsome face. Fear wrapped around her body. She could not move nor speak. She could only feel.

"This is your first time, right? I will not be gentle with you. I want you to feel the pain and the suffering," he said, smiling devilishly.

He tucked his hand behind her neck and kissed her lips roughly. His lips then down to her neck. He could smell the blood rushing in her veins and grin drunkenly.

His face turned frightening when fangs elongated from under his lips and gleamed white under the dim lighting. Before she could blink, he bit her neck and drank her blood. He really enjoyed the feeling, drinking from her body.

His mouth full of blood, and some of it drips down from his lips onto her skin. Intense pain took over her body. A cold rivulet of fear ran down her spine as his eyes gripped hers.

"I can smell your fear, your pain, and your suffering. That's just the beginning. We still have a long night together. The real fun will soon begin," he said in a low whisper.

Tears trickled down her cheeks from her unblinking eyes as her soul screamed for mercy. He smiled with pleasure, seeing the fear and helplessness in her eyes. He truly enjoyed seeing her suffer.

She held her breath in pain as his hands squeezed her breasts while his mouth sucked, nibbled, tortured her nipples roughly. She kept struggling to move, but her body refused to obey her orders. She could only lie still and feel the pain.

********

It was almost dawn when a man with long gray hair walked into the castle. The maids who were there couldn't take their eyes off him, mesmerized by his handsome face, his beautiful silver eyes.

His name was Vladimir Valerius. He was the first son of The Vampire King.

The butler bowed politely to greet his master.

"Where's Cedric?" Vladimir asked, raising his voice.

"Prince Cedric. He-he is in his room."

Anger burned within him after hearing what his butler said. He then moves like a shadow and now he was at the door of Cedric's room. He went in and he saw Cedric was sitting on the sofa, in his black nightgown, and the girl was lying dead on the bed. The wounds and the blood marks covered her pale naked body.

"What have you done! Why did you bite and kill her! Our father has forbidden us to do that! Why don't you obey his orders!" Vladimir said into Cedric's eyes.

Cedric smiled to cover his fear. "Brother, relax, take it easy. Our father is asleep and he won't know what I'm doing. I just wanted to have fun with her. I'm bored with drinking from a glass. Where's the fun in that?" he said.

Before Cedric could blink, Vladimir was in front of him, clutching his neck with his angry red eyes fixed on his eyes."Listen to me carefully! You cannot bite and kill them, or they will know about our existence. We cannot let them know! For them, we must never exist! Understood! If you still dare to disobey our father's orders, then you will die!"

Cedric stared into his brother's eyes with fear and anger. Not a single word came out of his mouth. It was clear on his face how much he feared and hated him.

********

A gentle sunlight was streaming through the windows of the campus library room. Its cold light caressed the face of a girl who was sleeping in a chair with her head resting on the table in front of her.

Her name was Calista Rose. A 19-year-old girl who has long brown hair and beautiful blue eyes. She is so beautiful and innocent, like an angel. Every man who sees her will surely fall in love with her and want to have her.

"Calista... wake up."

Calista opened her eyes when she heard someone softly calling her name. She saw a girl who had short black hair and brown eyes sitting on the chair next to her with her eyes fixed on her face.

The girl's name was Alice Lee. She is a good friend of Calista. They have been friends since they were 7 years old. They both now studied at a university in London and majored in accounting.

Calista smiled at Alice as she leaned her back against her chair. Alice looking at her worriedly. "I'm so worried about you. You look so tired. If you continue like this, then you will get sick," she said.

"Don't worry, Alice. I'm fine," Calista said as she held Alice's hand. Calista didn't want her best friend to worry about her. She then looked at the watch on her hand. "Let's go now. It's almost time for work," she said as she looking back into Alice's eyes and stood up from her chair.

Alice sighed before she stood up from her chair. They both then left the place to go to the cafe where they worked.

********

Calista kept busy with her job as a waitress as she avoided the eyes of the men who stare at her lustfully. Her beautiful face and beautiful body mesmerized them.

Two scary-faced men with muscles and tattoos couldn't take their eyes off her. The way they look at her freaked her out. Their eyes said they wanted so badly to taste her body and enjoy her pussy.

She took a deep breath, trying to be brave, and walked over to their table with their drinks in her hands. "Sir, this is your order," she said and put the drinks on the table. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" she asked politely.

They both smiled mischievously at her. "You can join us. Come on! Sit here!" said one of them.

"I'm sorry, sir. I have to go back to work," she said.

"I said sit here!" he grabbed her arm and made her sit sideways on his lap.

"Let me go!" she said as she struggled. Her heart was beating fast in fear. He ignored her words, smiling at her with a lustful gaze as he gripped her arms firmly.

"Hey! What you doing! Let her go now! Or I will call the police!" Alice yelled, glaring at him.

He paid no attention to Alice's words. "No! Please stop!" Calista said while struggling as he kissed her neck. Tears rolled down her cheeks as her body trembled.

The customers who were there did not dare to help. They were afraid of those two men. Alice wanted to help her, but before she got close, Stefan, the owner of this cafe, came out of the kitchen with his gun aimed at them. "Let her go now! Or I will shoot you!" he said.

They both got scared. The man who was harassing Calista then released her arms from his grip.

Calista immediately ran to hug Alice, and they both went into the kitchen. The two men then left the cafe in anger, while the other customers left in fear. Stefan kept asking them to stay, but they left anyway.

Stefan then walked into the kitchen and sat next to Calista. His sad eyes looked into hers. "Calista, because you work here, things like this often happen. If this continues, my customers will be afraid to come here," he said.

"I'm so sorry, sir," Calista said, holding back her tears.

"Sir, this is not her fault! All because of those bastards! They are to blame, not her!" Alice said in anger.

"I know it's not her fault! But as long as she works here, those bastards won't stop harassing her! I really need money for my sick wife so I can't lose my customers!" Stefan said, raising his voice.

Alice couldn't say a word as she avoided his eyes and looked at Calista's sad face. Stefan sighed, trying to calm his anger. He then stood up from his chair and walked out of the kitchen, saying nothing.

Calista turned her face to Alice as she held her hand and smiled at her, trying to comfort her. She tried to smile back at her, even though she was sad and scared right now.

********

Calista is on her way home now with Alice. Alice always drove her home after work. She was worried and didn't want her to come home late at night alone.

Calista's mind was filled with worry. She was afraid Stefan would fire her. She needs money for her college so she can't lose her job.

"Calista..."

She turned to her left in startled and she saw Alice was staring at her with sad eyes. She just realized that they have arrived in front of her house. Alice knew what was on her mind. Then she took her hand. "Don't worry. Trust me. Everything will be alright," she said gently into her eyes.

Calista nodded at her reassuringly, trying to smile. She then unbuckled her seatbelt and looked back into her eyes. "Be careful on your way. See ya." Alice answered her with a nod. Calista then got out of the car and waved at her. Alice smiled at her and left the place in her car.

Calista walked towards the front door of the house. This house belonged to her parents. They have passed away. Her mom died when she gave birth to her. Then when she was ten, her dad died saving her from a car accident. Since her dad passed away, she has lived with her step-aunt named Anna Blonde and her daughter Amber, who is 3 years older than her. They are the only family she has left.

They are both so mean to her. They would often beat and slap her if she didn't obey their orders. They treat her like a slave in her own home. They had bullied her since she was a child, which made her grow up to be a timid and weak girl.

Alice had told her many times to kick them out of her house, but she didn't have the heart to do that. She had a heart as beautiful as her face, and it was her heart that would change her destiny forever.

Calista tried to open the door, but it's locked, and it's dark inside. She then leaned her back against the door as she sighed. She feels exhausted and sleepy.

A motorbike then parked in front of her. Amber just came home with her boyfriend. She then got off and kissed him on the lips lustfully. When he saw her, he stopped kissing her. "Who is she? She is so beautiful. Is she your sister?" he said and asked.

Anger and jealousy burned within Amber. She then moved her gaze from his face to Calista's. "What the f*ck are you doing there!" she yelled, glaring at her.

"I can't go inside. You have my keys," Calista said in fear.

Amber just remembered that she had taken her keys because she had lost hers. She then walked away from her boyfriend angrily towards her.

"Wait! Don't you want to introduce me to her? What's her name?" he asked.

Amber ignored his words. She opened the locked door and pushed Calista to walk in while yelling at her, "Get in!"She slammed the door and locked it. Not long after, her boyfriend started his motorbike and left this place.

Amber suddenly slapped Calista's cheek so hard. "B*tch! Why you always try to seduce my boyfriend? Why!" she yelled at her face.

Fear and pain gripped Calista at the same time, making her body tremble. She couldn't open her mouth to speak and could only stare at her.

Amber grabbed Calista's face with her angry eyes fixed on hers. "I warned you. Never dare to show your face in front of my boyfriend again or I'll burn your face!" she said in a threatening tone. Amber then pushed Calista so hard that she fell to the floor. Amber walked into her room and slammed the door.

Calista's cheek hurt so much and it felt like it was burning. She tried not to cry, but she couldn't and she cried silently. She then wiped her tears, got up from the floor, and walked to her room. Right now, she just wants to sleep and forget all the bad things that have happened.

"Calista! Get up! Now!"

Calista woke up from her sleep when she heard someone yell at her, grabbed her arm roughly, and made her sit up on the bed. She saw her aunt standing before her, staring hatefully at her face.

"Give me your father's insurance money. I really need it, now!"

"Auntie, you've already taken all the money. I don't have it anymore."

"Don't lie to me! You must have hidden it somewhere!"

Her aunt then searched all over the room, made everything messy. Calista kept trying to stop her and was pleading tearfully, "Please, auntie, stop. I'm not lying to you. I'm telling the truth. I really don't have money anymore."

Her aunt stopped searching and sat on the floor. "What should I do? They will kill me if I don't pay the debt." Her voice broke.

It startled her to hear what her aunt said. She felt worried seeing her frightened face. She then sat next to her and held her hand. "What do you mean? Who wants to kill you ?" she asked, curious.

Her aunt quickly moved her hand from hers as if it disgusted her to touch her. "Don't touch me! I've always been in trouble since I lived with you. You only bring bad luck to those around you! Your parents died because of you and now! You will make me die!" she yelled into her eyes.

Calista had heard these words come out of her mouth many times and every time she heard them; she has tears in her eyes. She could feel her heart crying sadly.

A sudden chill ran down her spine as her aunt eyed her entire body up and down. The way she looked at her terrified her. Her eyes told her she had an evil plan in mind for her.

Her aunt smiled evilly, then stood up from the floor. "I am hungry. Cook for me now!" she said into Calista's eyes and walked out of the room.

Her aunt worked as a prostitute in a nightclub. Every day she always came home after midnight and woke her up to cook for her.

Calista wiped the tears from her cheeks. She got up from the floor and went to the kitchen to cook immediately, or her aunt would beat her if the food was not ready.

********

"Calista! wake up!"

Calista opened her eyes when someone hurriedly woke her up while shaking her shoulder. She saw Alice was sitting in the chair next to her, looking at her with a cheerful smile on her face. She lifted her head from the library reading table and leaned her back against the chair while yawning.

"Calista, look!" Alice showed her the two tickets in her hand. "My sister gave me tickets to watch an opera at the London Coliseum Theater. She can't go because her boyfriend suddenly had to work. You've never been there before, right? Let's go there with me tonight," she said excitedly.

Calista's panda eyes suddenly opened wide as she forgot her sleepiness. "Oh my God! Thank you Alice!" she said with a cheerful as she hugged her. She was so excited because she really wanted to go to that place.

Alice let go of her hug and looked into her eyes. "Let's go to my place now. We have to hurry up and get dressed," she said excitedly.

"Hmm!" Calista replied with a nod. They both then left the place with smiles on their faces.

********

Calista couldn't blink as she looked around the room outside the theater room. This place is so beautiful and majestic makes her stunned to see it. She and Alice came here early, so there's no one here yet. Alice is in the bathroom right now. Before Alice asked Calista to go with her, she had told Stefan and he allowed them to go to this place.

Calista wore a short sleeveless white dress. She let her long hair fall down to her waist. The golden light from the chandeliers illuminated her flawless white skin and her eyes, that are like blue sapphire. She was so beautiful, her face was as beautiful as a goddess.

Calista ignored the pain on her feet and kept looking around in admiration. She didn't want to wear the shoes she was wearing right now because she couldn't wear high heels at all, but Alice forced her to wear them. She said she looks beautiful in them. Calista doesn't have a dress so Alice lends her a dress and shoes for her to wear.

Suddenly, as Calista almost fell, someone hugged her waist from behind. She turned around, and she saw a very handsome man looking at her face with his gentle eyes.

For the first time in her life, she felt something she had never felt before. Her cheeks burned. Her heart beat uncontrollably as she forgot how to breathe. She couldn't take her eyes off him, mesmerized by his handsome face, his beautiful silver eyes.

Their bodies were close to each other. Her hands were on his chest while his hands were on her waist. She felt his cold breath against her face. His eyes stared deep into mine as if he was looking directly into her soul and there was nothing she could hide from him.

"Wh-who are you?" she asked nervously.

"My name is Vladimir Valerius."

It amazed her to see his handsome face. Even his voice impressed her, which was very pleasant and elegant.

He kept staring at her curiously. "Calista... You have a heart as beautiful as your face. I've never met a human like you before," he said. Calista stared at him with the same look as him. She wonders how he got to know her name and why he said that.

He smiled gently at her, as if he could read what was on her mind. "Let me help you sit there," he said in a soft voice, then he picked her up and took her to a nearby chair. Calista didn't understand what had happened to her. She couldn't say a word, she couldn't refuse him. She could only stay silent in his arms.

He put her on the chair and then crouched down to check her feet. It startled her when he touched her skin because his hands felt so... cold.

He took off her right shoe gently. She held her breath as her body shivered in pleasure as his hands gently caressed the skin of her feet. He moved his gaze to her eyes. "Your feet are in pain now. You shouldn't wear these shoes if you are not used to wearing them," he said in worry.

Calista stared at him in silence, breathing nervously as she asked herself how he knew about it.

He put her shoe back on and stood up. Her heart beat faster and faster as he brings his face closer to hers. His eyes fell deep into hers and held her gaze. His eyes told her he wanted so badly to enjoy every inch of her and make her his forever.

He moved his eyes slowly to her lips; he eagerly wanted to enjoy them. She couldn't refuse him because her heart also wanted to kiss him.

Suddenly, he took a distance from her face and said, looking her in the eye. "Your friend will be here soon. I will see you again, Calista." He smiled gently at her and walked away from her.

She struggled to breathe as her heart beat uncontrollably. Her whole body felt cold. She kept asking herself over and over what happened to her. She just met him and he has taken her heart with him.
