chapter 4

Bianca spent three years like this. She felt suffocating each and every second. It was like she's a criminal being locked up in a cell. is she that worse? was dating a boy she likes a sin? isn't it too much? she started hating the man who gave her shelter and raised her all these years. Everything about Cassius started disgusting her. Now, her mission is collecting enough money and run away from this place. She almost forgot how the outside world looked like and how freedom felt like. She was like a dove who was captured by a bat.

today was her 20th birthday. It was same as the birthdays being celebrated for two years. lonely. no friends. no happiness. only with Cassius. her eyes have lost her spark. but something unexpected happened. Something she never thought.

"why don't you try something else?" Cassius said looking at the variety of dishes in front of her eyes. "I'm full" she said standing up. "sit down. you're not allowed to leave until you take one more bite" he ordered. Allowed? she swallowed her bitterness with the sweet. Her father never treated her this way. only if he was alive, this wouldn't have been happening. "I know you hate me. but I'm doing everything for your own good" he said. 'for my own good? by taking away my freedom?' that made her angry. She chew the food forcefully. She hates him.

she walked out of her room. making her way towards the kitchen. While passing by his room, she heard moans of a woman. it's his daily routine to bring new woman everyday. She discovered his disgusting secret when she was fifteen. she sighed in disgust. she went downstairs to the kitchen and drank some water. she was looking at those big windows, searching for a way to escape. Then she suddenly, she heard a scream. she quickly ran upstairs. she was sure it was of that woman. She reached upstairs. the scream was louder. she knelt down to see what's happening inside. she could only see his desk. she tried to get a better view. she lightly touched the door. but for her surprise, the door was unlocked. she opened the door and froze.

was she dreaming?She couldn't believe what she was seeing. blood. He was drinking her blood!!! his fangs looked like a monsters and his nails were dark and long. her eyes widened as he looked at her with his glowing red eyes. he quickly let go of the woman. his mouth was filled with blood. she felt she was going to throw up. "Bianca!!" he yelled as she ran away. Now she has to escape no matter what it takes. she ran downstairs where she came from. was he a monster? who cares? she's leaving this place right now!!! she ran out of the mansion and ran towards the gate. but to her surprise, he was already there. It seemed like a nightmare. maybe she hates him so much that's why she's seeing him like this. But it wasn't a dream. her barefoot on the cold ground was reminded her about the reality. "s-stay away!!" she warned. but he walked closer. she has been living with a monster under the same roof for years? "Bianca. let me explain" he slowly walked towards her. but he scared her off instead. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!!" she yelled. but it somehow made him agressive. He quickly picked her up and the next moment, she found herself on her bed. him on top of her. he was holding both of her wrists to pin her. "I said I'll explain myself" he said with his Bloody mouth. "do you even know what you're doing?" she asked him staring him in the eyes with pure hatred."get off me uncle Acheron". he got furious and squeezed her wrists with force. enough to break them. she screamed in pain. "Do you even know why you are here? why I raised you all these years?" he growled. she decided to remain silent. "Tell me Bianca. why did I imprisoned you when you went out with your boyfriend?" he demanded. this was her end point. This man, Cassius Acheron is not worthy of being Felix Bancroft's friend. "How much?" she smirked. his eyes widened. "how much uncle Cassius? You offer those women thousands. How much would you offer me?" that sentance hit his fever pitch. "SHUT UP!! I SAID SHUT UP!!" He yelled. she froze. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHY I RAISED YOU ALL THESE YEARS RIGHT? NO YOU DON'T!! I RAISED YOU SO THAT I CAN MAKE YOU MY BRIDE!!"

"you... what?" she asked with a calm voice. but she was still in shock. "I raised you so that I can bride you". "I'll never marry a monster like you" She replied with anger. that made him laugh. he let go of her wrists and placed his right hand on his face. "haha hahaha" he laughed like a psyco. "you!! you're laughing??" she sat up. " monster? me?? hahaha you're very funny Bianca" he laughed. " do you even have any idea about yourself?" he said pointing towards her. "me!?" she was confused. "your mother was a human but you father.." he continued. "he was a monster like me". her eyes widened in horror. "no!! you-you're lying!!" she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "I'm not lying" he smiled. That was creepy. Smile doesn't suit him. "you're spitting nonsense old man" she gave him a glare. but to her surprise, that made him laugh. "old?? aww Bianca. do you even know how old I am?" he laughed. her eyes widened. "what do you mean?" she tried to get off the bed but he bared her with his arms. "I'm a 2000 year old vampire".

"our wedding is in next week. prepare yourself and don't try to escape" he gave her a glare before shutting and locking the door leaving her crying. it was her worst birthday ever
