By the time Keelin stepped out of the court, the sun had already reached its zenith.
So the marriage that lasted for 3 years has ended.
Keelin didn't know how to feel right now. She leaned over to look at the man behind her, Lars, he's still like that day, nothing had changed.
Keelin loves Lars, loved for five years. From the first time they met in the yard of Nevy High School, she fell in love with that cold man. He's mature, more mature than anyone his age. He is extremely talented, although he is cold and difficult to approach, he is very popular with teachers and friends at school.
Keelin for a single eye contact that determined a lifetime. She took the time to approach him, to get his attention, she didn't miss any chance to be with him. But during the two years of pursuit, the result she received was still zero, he showed no sign of being 'fallen down' at all.
After many failed attempts, in an accident, Keelin achieved the desired result
On the night of the graduation party, Keelin and Lars suddenly had a one-night stand. Originally it was just an accident, but Keelin took advantage of this to keep Lars. Not long after that, they got married in the blessing of Keelin's friends and pride.
Thinking back, Keelin sighed. Now she knew how childish her decision at that time was.
“It's been a while… bothering you. So sorry. From now on, I will definitely not come to bother you again,” Keelin said honestly.
Lars looked at her silently, but there was an undercurrent in his eyes.
The young girl standing in front of him is now much more mature, her face is moodier, her figure also shows more curves. She was no longer the impulsive schoolgirl she used to be, no longer the energetic girl running behind him.
A moment of loss surged in Lars's heart, the loose hand he unconsciously gripped was hidden behind his back.
“If that's your decision,” Lars said.
Keelin looked at the man's still cold face as before, but inwardly couldn't help but laugh at himself. It's been five years, from college love to married life, he's always been the same, unchanged, so what else can she hope for.
Keelin gave a small nod in lieu of greeting and turned to leave. From today, the two of them were officially strangers.
Lars watched as Keelin slowly disappeared from his view, he wanted to move forward but his stiff legs wouldn't move. His face darkened, his hand hanging loosely under his heavy breath.
Maybe, this is the best ending for both of them.
***
Eira sat silently looking at her friend on the opposite side, curious eyes as if trying to find a special point.
Keelin just got a divorce, the paperwork is done, but she's weird. No crying, no fuss, no saying anything, her face always maintained a silence that made it difficult for Eira to see her thoughts.
“Kee, are you okay?” Eira asked softly, her voice careful as if she was afraid that she would accidentally touch some key point.
"There's nothing wrong with that, it's just a divorce," Keelin replied.
“I fell in love with all my heart, but he still has no vibrations. A love without results, such a breakup is not a pity, " Keelin added. She admits that she still loves Lars, but she is past the time when she only thinks about love. She had a long way to go, and the Morales family as well, being the only daughter in the family, she couldn't forget her responsibilities because of love.
Seeing that Keelin had thought this through, Eira felt much more reassured. Every time Eira remembered how Keelin frantically confessed her feelings to Lars before, Eira couldn't help but feel the hairs on the back of her neck. Luckily, it's all over.
“So that's fine. You're young, you can still start over.” Eira comforted softly.
“What makes you think I'm going to 'start over'?”
"Huh? Aren't you going to …?” Without waiting for Eira to finish his sentence, Keelin stood up, the smoothie on the table had been empty for some time.
Eira didn't think much of it, but hurriedly chased after Keelin, raising her voice questioningly.
The sky turned dark and then black as coal. Tonight, a cloudy night, large clouds obscured almost all the bright moonlight, giving it a gloomy and eerie feeling. Lars leaned back on the couch, he was still wearing his gray shirt as he was in the morning, swinging a glass of Fino Sherry in his left hand.
Keelin once said, this is her favorite wine.
This is not a very strong wine but has a distinctive taste. Sweet and juicy, once used for a lifetime, just like her.
He doesn't know if she remembers or not but their first night, he has never forgotten. And at that time, he wasn't so drunk that he lost consciousness.
But what does it matter now? She’s already gone.
Glancing at the boss through the gap in the door, Finn couldn't help but sigh.
Apparently, Lars also has feelings for Keelin, even stronger than her, but he can't say it. To blame, can only blame fate.
Finn quietly pulled the door closed. His boss is completely unfit to work now.
A week later.
Seeing parents get in the car and leave, Keelin immediately flipped the blanket and jumped up. She waited for this day for a long time, finally, the opportunity has come.
Breakfast just ended, so there weren't many maids in the room outside, Keelin peeked out, she looked left and right, then took her bag, and crept step by step.
Suddenly seeing a figure, Keelin immediately hid behind a large pillar. The man had just left, and she continued to carefully walk down the stairs.
Once, twice, and thrice, Keelin in turn avoided all the eyes of the servants and smoothly walked out to the gate. But, suddenly.
“Lady Keelin.” A male voice called out.
Keelin was startled and ran out of the house despite the calls from behind him getting louder and louder.
Running to the main road, Keelin immediately stopped a taxi that was traveling at a slow speed nearby and jumped into the car.
“Girl, you …”
“So sorry, please speed up, I'm in a hurry”
The driver didn't think much, and immediately pressed the gas. And just like that, Keelin was completely free from the security guards in the house.
Keelin breathed a sigh of relief, she had just opened her bag when she saw Eira's three missed calls on her phone screen. Keelin paused for a moment, then decided to turn off the engine and talk to the driver.
“To Ramos mansion”
The driver nodded, the car still maintained its speed.
Keelin looked outside and sighed.
One day after the divorce, she immediately discovered that she had forgotten an important object at the Ramos mansion. Originally, she was going to pick it up that day but was discovered by her mother. Mrs. Athena was only afraid that her daughter would use an excuse to return to Lars Ramos, so she completely ignored her words and directly locked her in her bedroom.
If it was not for Keelin sneaking out today, she doesn't know when she would be able to get that important thing back.
The car stopped in front of the Ramos mansion, Keelin paid the bill and hurried inside. Not long after entering, she received a call from Eira.
Keelin walked down the hallway with the phone pressed to her ear."I just got there, I forgot my thing, so I come back to get it."Keelin glanced at each design around. Ramos Mansion, the largest mansion in Osmund city, the ancient and modern architecture is engraved on each wall, it is indeed not to be underestimated. Keelin had looked at it countless times, she greatly admires the people who built this mansion“Forget things or forget your heart? Keelin Morales aren't you still attached to that man". Eira growled questioningly.Eria knows all too well how much love Keelin has for Lars, otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her whole body to bind him. Keelin's love is crazy and obstinate.Keelin could only sigh, it was true that she was like that before. But after suffering a lot of traumas, she thought it through, which is also the reason why she chose to divorce.Lars’s calmness when signing the divorce papers at that time made Keelin feel that her decision was correct.“Forgetting
Lars looked down at the woman who had been his wife of three years. The hair obscured the red pupils, unable to see the emotions.Just as Lars was about to open his mouth, a gentle breeze blew in from the window, causing the delicate curtains to be lifted, opening the way for moonlight, the only source of light now.Under those white rays, a mysterious blue appeared right in front of Keelin's chest.Lars did not push her away, he got down on one knee, reaching for her neck.Noticing Lars' unusual behavior, Keelin jumped. She let go of his hand, and hurriedly stepped back, looking at the person in front of her with warning eyes.“Lars… you… what are you going to do to me? I tell you, even if I die, I wouldn't choose to die that way." Keelin said panicking. Her mind automatically recreated the footage of the other man being grabbed by Lars and sucked his blood to death.Keelin's face was white.She did not want to die, and she did not want to die like that.“Calm down.” Lars' voice turn
Lars shook his head:“For the time being, leave her alone. Get ready, tomorrow we will start our business trip to the eastern city.”“Didn't you say next week?” Finn startled and asked“Do you have an opinion?”“No, I'll go get ready.” Finn did not dare say much. He looked up and peeked at Lars's face to make sure everything was fine before he left with peace of mind.Finn had just taken a step when Lars said again:“Let's clean up the 'garbage' in there first. Be careful next time.” Lars's gaze turned sharp. No one know when, he stepped out of the room, the light outside made the bloody clothes stand out even more.Finn trembled, and he lowered his head. This time Keelin to enter that room, he was the biggest culprit. Luckily, she was special to Lars, otherwise, if the person who entered was someone else, it would be difficult to imagine the outcome.If that had happened, there would have been not one but two corpses in that room at that time.Finn clutched the document, lowering his
A long love affair that lasted for several years without any results, everyone thought that Keelin was the one who sacrificed the most, loved the most but few people knew, the first person to be touched was Lars, the man who stand in power and money.More than three hundred years ago, the noblest vampire, the first son of the vampire ruler of the east, Lars Ramos was born. Born to be the one above all, with noble blood in him, Lars despised everything, not letting anyone in his eyes. He only aims for money and power, not interested in anything else.An arrogant, conceited prince gradually grew up in the fear of everyone. Of course, it's not natural that people treat Lars like that. He is a vampire with extremely powerful and rare abilities. At his peak, he alone could push up to a hundred vampires, something that few even the king of the time, Stephen Ramos, couldn’t do.Until Lars' 131st birthday, a dark force suddenly appeared, attacking the eastern land. Because of disrespecting th
It was not that Keelin was intentionally drunk, but she was drunk by her friends.And Lars, the quiet student at that time looked at her so drunk that her face turned red, so he couldn't control himself.After that night, Lars immediately regretted it. He was afraid that she would hate him because of this accident and avoid him. But unexpectedly, the situation completely deviated from Lars's prediction, Keelin took advantage of this incident to force him to get married.'Forced' but Lars was overjoyed, for the first time in nearly three hundred years he felt that joy, a joy that spread from within. But in both joy and fear, Lars did not forget, that he was a vampire, but Keelin was just an ordinary human, two people incapable of coming together. He wanted to be comfortable in love with her, but he dared not approach her. Therefore, despite being married for three years, he still kept his cold attitude and never slept with her again.Seeing Keelin helpless and sad, Lars was heartbroken
Isolde didn't think Keelin would take such a sudden move. She fell to the floor, rolled her eyes, and looked up at Keelin in shock, her eyes filled with anger and hatred. "You …" "You what?" Keelin smirked, she looked at Isolde fearlessly and said: “If a servant is not as fast as a dog, what is the need of a servant? I'd rather buy a dog to run, it's more effective than you, it's cheap and reasonable, and it's not like someone else uses the eyes of the enemy to look at the owner. Sassy" Keelin's steely voice and strong aura not only shocked Isolde, but also made Sera dumbfounded. She didn't know that Keelin also had this side, and for a moment a feeling of joy spread in her heart. It seems that the boss really has eyes for people, this girl is really not as weak as she seems. After a few seconds of surprise, Sera gave a reassuring smile and then stood to the side, leaving the decision to Keelin in full control. After receiving a slap from Keelin, seeing Sera's humorous smile an
Hearing the familiar voice, Keelin remained in the same position, not turning her head. Only Martin turned to look, he bowed his head:“Mr. Ramos, good morning. I'm the garden designer, Martin.”Lars glanced at Martin and then at Keelin, but all he saw was her straight back.Lars walked over to the tea table, still wearing his suit, apparently, he came looking for Keelin as soon as he got back from a business trip. But unlike the image he imagined in his head, Keelin was no longer happy, running to the gate to welcome him like before. Lars couldn't help but feel disappointed.Sensing Martin backing away and Lars pausing beside the table, Keelin flipped through the catalog pages and said coldly:"You are home? Welcome back”Although it was 'welcome', Lars couldn't hear any cheerfulness in those words, and suddenly felt angry."Aren't you here to welcome me?"At this time, Keelin looked up at Lars, no longer with a passionate gaze, no longer attached, nostalgic, but simply like long-tim
Seeing Keelin's disappointed look, Lars felt as if he had fallen into an abyss. He took a deep breath and spoke in a serious voice:"Kee, I didn't choose to pursue you because you knew my true identity at all."“Then why?” Keelin asked immediately, tears streaming down her cheeks."Calm down, Kee"Lars helped Keelin sit down on the sofa. Looking at her red eye sockets, his heart ached, he reached out his hand to wipe the tears that were falling from her eyes in a very gentle way.Seeing Lars care about her like that, Keelin really didn't feel familiar. These things she had dreamed of before, but she did not have them. Then why would he suddenly act like this without any purpose?Lars got Keelin a glass of water. Waiting for her to finish drinking, he timidly asked"Are you calm?"Keelin didn't answer, just nodded.Seeing that, Lars whispered in relief. He reached his hand toward her neck.Seeing this action of Lars, Keelin was startled, and moved her body slightly to the right, stretc
