The Vampire's Curse [ Unedited ]

Chapter 40 - The Vampire King

|| Ethan Dark ||

"Love is a trap, it endlessly pulls in like a magnet and never took off until it's done with you, either it ends up breaking your heart or blooming your life"

I stood idly in the doorframe of my cursed wife's room.

"I am not sorry, Roseline" I shook my head not feeling a bit of guilt for replacing her.

I guess, a part of me always knew that I was a fool when I fell for her, I also admitted that I won't be able to resist her no matter how vicious she was. I always willingly obeyed her, respected her wishes, and listened to her not because I was in love with her. It was because I was manipulated into being in love with her.

"You have always played games with me, Roseline and now it's time to pull stop at them"

I took a sharp breath before stepping inside her room and glanced around to recall her.

"I remember crossing limits for you, overlooking your flaws and shamelessly following you," I let out a deep sad chuckle feeling like an absolute idiot for being part of her evil deeds.

"I remember how I fell for you and you made me believe it was all real" I closed my eyes, letting my raven tears drench my cheeks.

"How I foolishly carried that love in my heart for a century, trying to find that key to break that curse and waiting to reunite with you again," I sink to my knees and stared up at the portrait of my cursed wife.

"Your love fallacy break the day I kissed Bethany, the same girl who is the key to lifting the curse"

I realised the actual meaning of love when Bethany accepted me for who I am and willed to be with me no matter what happens, that shows how much she cares and loves me. I learnt that her love is selfless unlike you, Roseline.

You didn't love me for being me, you chose me because I was capable of giving you what you always craved for...

"These Powers" I feel more and more disgusted for even being part of your plans.

"I might love the idea of you loving me but you were never in love with me, Roseline" I stared up intensely at her portrait that was shining brightly in the moonlight.

I repeated my mistakes again and again because I was so vigorous in lifting the curse that has separated us for a century. I became a heartless monster to wake you up, tricked a naive human girl into me and tried to use her innocence to achieve my goals but my plans backfired and instead of trapping her in my charms, she trapped me in her love.

"Bethany has taught me the true meaning of love and there's no way I am going to exclude this chance of feeling lively again" I touched her portrait and felt an immense pain that pushed me back.

I was twitching in animosity, unable to concede what just happened?

"Roseline?"

I peered around and my gaze halted at Angie who was silently leaning against the wall while staring forth and back in between her sister and me.
