Alice's POV: Three days passed like a blur. All I had done was going office with the vampire prince, obeying his orders like the servant I was and then getting back to this luxurious prison. I was stuck here, in this hell hole without knowing any whereabouts about my sister. I wanted to hate his guts who had taken her away but at the same time, I felt like something was amiss about this entire situation. He hadn't hurt me since he'd brought me here. In fact, he made me work like a hog, which was annoying, but apart from that, he hadn't done anything at all. Not even a cosplay. Anyhow, the maids in this place were suspicious too. They stayed during the day, working their butts off, and then left during the night. Only the ones who had nowhere to go were always left behind. I wondered where the others lived. Maybe in their parents' houses, like I used to. The maids made it seem normal for their prince to forcefully keep someone inside his palace. In fa

Alice's POV: "This isn't your fault. This is my fault. Everything’s been my fault. Since day one it was my fault. You can never be in wrong. It was me who wasn’t able to protect you well,” he whispered, staring into my eyes. Pain, guilt, and shame were evident in his eyes. He was letting me see all those vulnerable emotions. He had never expressed himself like this. He was like a distant cold person, the person who was just my kidnapper, the person who had abducted my sister away and pushed both of us into despair. But today, he was a vulnerable person who was trying to comfort me and admit his wrongdoings. Was he going to let me go now? Was he going to give my sister back to me? More tears began to form in my eyes at his words. He stroked my face gently with his thumb. My heart soared with his tender touch. At that moment, I realized that my emotions were bare in front of him at the moment. "Why?" Was the only word that could come ou

The look on Epic’s face when I finally saw her after what seemed like ages, was definitely not the one I’d imagined when I was still under the impression that she had been kidnapped. She stood frowning as I busted through the door and threw my arms around her. “Oh, Epic! My baby sister!” I exclaimed, a bit dramatically I admit. “Wha- Alice!” she groaned. “When did you get this strong?” She didn’t pry my hands off though so I knew she wasn’t that mad that I was hoarding all her personal space. She wrapped one arm loosely around my waist and patted my back with the other hand. I loosened my grip a bit. I knew for a fact that I had grown considerably stronger ever since I'd started living with Aaron. I always ate well and even had blood, thanks to him. Staying with him had been really good for my health and it might not have been a bad idea after all. I pulled away and clasped her shoulders, smiling. “You have no idea how glad I am to see

Alice's POV: "Replica, do you think I should just cancel today’s plan? I was so excited that I didn’t even think about not having a dress. What am I going to do now? Aaron would-“ “Alice! Stop freaking out.” Replica stopped me from pacing the whole room by grabbing my shoulders. I looked at her shocked for a moment before I grinned. She had said my name normally for the first. Before, it would be “Ma- A-Alice” or “A-A…lice”. Replica blushed but didn’t let go of my arms and just gave me a stern look. I dimmed my grin a bit to not tease her anymore. My previous worry again took over my mind. It’s been a week since that day when that bitch had her little tantrum. Aaron had been more passionate since then seeing that I had a few doubts because of that incident. No one can blame me for that. It was totally like one of those dramas where the ex-bitch-girlfriend would come and try to separate the couple and all. Cliché. Also, Aaron w

Alice's POV: My body was in so much pain, it felt like someone was cutting my flesh off bit by bit. While my chest was so tight as if there was a black hole inside it, sucking my heart in and shredding it to pieces. I could sense my soul wilt away with every passing second. It felt like an eternity before the agony I was going through started to lessen and a foreign sensation started to take over my body. My aching body started to numb and I could feel the life coming back to me. I was more alive than ever. My fingers twitched and I started regaining control over my limbs fast. My eyes felt heavy but I forced them to open. I had enough of this darkness. It weighed on my heart. During all this pain, I always felt warmth. It told me that someone was waiting for me to come out of this darkness. Now all I wanted was to tear apart this darkness and reach out to the light. As my eyes opened, my senses came back to me. Brown hair filled my vision. T
