Temptations Of A Vampire

Chapter 1

A month later

"Excuse me young lady,your father wants to talk to you...you can see him at his office."

Alleria turned her head and nodded.Those words sent chills to her body,making her heart beat faster than usual.She closed the book she was reading,stood up and composed herself as she advance towards the hallway.

She reached for the door but she's having second thoughts.uncertain in what to do,she remained still in front of those big doors.Her fingers moistened.God knows what her father can do when he's angry.She can clearly remember the nostalgic scene that happened.

Those thoughts still brings shiver in her spine.She knocked with trembling hands.

There was silence for a few seconds,and then came the low yet scary voice."come in..."

The prickle of foreboding became a slap in the face.His voice makes her tremble with fear.Her knees are getting weaker every time she took a step towards her most feared man.

Her eyes roamed the whole room.It was painted in white and was decorated with a touch of modern and classic type of furnitures.She stared at the large frame of her father which was posted on the wall.

She truly inherited his features.From her Blonde and marvelous hair to her Fire like eye color.She's like a perfect replica of her father excluding the skin color which she inherited from her late mother. and the fact that she's a girl version of her father,the Great Antonio Rocheford the owner of one of the world's largest Shipping company in the world makes people kiss her feet and worship her like a deity.

All the Blood in her body turned down south.Fear,guilt and pain flooded her mind.

"F-Father I-it really wasn't my intention to do those things.I-i was just driven by extreme emotions which keeps on flooding my mind." Her lips are trembling.She barely took her breath as she said those words.

"I didn't called you to talk about your dishonorable act." His voice boomed around the room making her Wince and tremble in fear.

Due to fear,her lips can't even utter the words that wants to come out of her mouth.

"I summoned you here to talk about something important, you do know that our company is soaring worldwide right,infact we are one of the best ?" His voice was void of emotions.

"Y-yes" she's being nostalgic.

"But unfortunately we're having problems right now and this might lead to bankruptcy in the near future.We must fill our need to gain more power.That's why I'm setting you to marry one of the world's most sought bachelor He will be a big help in repairing our company." He turned his chair and looked at me straight in the eyes.His cold eyes are entering my system.Making my heart beats in a fast pace.

"I need you to marry him to expand our empire.Think of this as a win win situation,your future will be secure and our company will be saved."her father Said Firmly.

Those words destroyed her world.She can't look directly at her father's eye.Countless of teardrops are escaping from her eyes.She merely accept the fact that her father treats her like an item.

"B-but F-father I'm too young and I'm not yet prepared to marry someone especially a stranger." She tried to blink back the tears that are flowing from her cheeks.

"You don't have any choice.Sooner or later the business which I and your mom build from scratch to a diamond, will fall.Sadly,this is our only hope" there's a hint of sadness in his cold voice when he said those words.

Aleria feels like she's being stabbed by thousands of knives.

"I-is there any other way?" She Wiped those streaming tears.

"I wish there is,but theres no more solution,there isn't and we have no choice but to take the risk.Can you attain to see the business fall? Your mom invested her sweat and blood in makimg this company soar high in the market.this is her only memory left and I know,that we can't let this disappear."

Her Late Mom,The only woman who understands her The one who knows her,the real her beyond those classy dress and luxurious jewelries.she's the one who encouraged her to strive and to never give up any hardship.
Her inspiration was taken away in an instant when the yacht her mother was boarding sank somewhere in the Pacific ocean.

They failed to locate the body And assumed that everyone is dead.

Upon knowing the grievous news. They rushed imidiately to the scene.She cried a bucket of tears that time.Months later her dad started distancing himself from her.Locking himself in his bedroom while drowning in liquors.

She was Only 13 when her mom died she promised in front of her grave that she will take care of her dad and everything her mom left to them.

Thats whe the transformation began.Back then she used to wear old ,thick and round reading glasses.Her designer decided that she should use contact lences.She studied the proper etiquette in eating and talking. From a pathetic nerd to a marvelous Heiress.

And if this is the only way to help and repay her dad from taking care of her She will whole heartedly accept his father's decision.

"This is the first time I'll ask you a favor, Aleria Please save our company.Oblige me with helping us regain our status and restoring the legacy of your mom."

"I-if that's the only way..." She hesitated at first but she's determined in her decision and it's the right thing to do."I-i A-accept."

Antonio's lip twisted forming a smile.It's the first time she ever saw her dad smiled ever since that day.He has been sometimes grumpy but mostly void,emotionless.

"You will meet him soon." He exclaimed as he turned his chair back to face the vast city."

Feel the urge to get out of this room,Aleria excused herself and got out as quick as thought.
That room makes her feel like she's suffocating.

She held her hands to her late mother's pendant.It's a plain silver type necklace but is filled with gold on the side.

"If that's the only way....Then Be it"
