The Vampire's Love: You Are My Destiny

"Cooper!" she said, her eyes widened in alarm.

He looked intensely into her eyes. "My love, we need to talk," he said with a pleading voice.

​​

Laura pouted. "After what you have done to me last night, you still have a face to talk to me? How dare you! Get lost!" she said gritting her teeth in anger.

She was about to close the door on his face but he blocked the door with his foot and right hand.

"Please, Laura... let's talk. I want to apologize regarding how I acted badly last night," he said, with a puppy dog's eyes. "I won't leave your room if you won't talk to me," he said adamantly.

Laura examined his face. He seemed serious and has no plans of leaving unless she will talk to him. And she wanted him to leave because she wants to go back to sleep again. "Okay fine. Wait for me on the balcony," she relented with a heavy sigh.

"Thank you, my dear wife," Cooper said and walked away going to the direction of the balcony.

Laura was shaking her head in frustration. She wanted to break up with Cooper today and put an end to their wedding plan, but...part of her wants to reconsider her decision because after her father leaves the mansion and goes home, she will be alone on her own. If Cooper and Sir Nicholas will get mad about her decision, they might send her away. She has no relatives in this town. And her father would get super mad if she will break up with Cooper and flee from the mansion. She has no choice as of this moment but to stick with Cooper and stay in the mansion.

Unless Graven will come back to the mansion, she won't hesitate to go with him.

She grabbed the hairbrush and starts combing her hair. She let her hair cascades behind her back.

Done, she's ready to face Cooper.

She exited the room and walked towards the balcony. She found Cooper smoking a cigar. She covered her mouth with her hand, she doesn't like the smell of tobacco.

Cooper looked at her and noticed her covering her nose. "Sorry..." he said and put the cigar away.

Laura sighed and sat on the couch opposite him.

There were a few seconds of silence and awkwardness between them.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night, I admit it was my fault. Please forgive me," Cooper started apologizing to his future wife.

Laura looked at his face indignantly. "You were about to molest me last night! If you succeeded with your evil intention, I will never forgive you!" she hissed.

"I know. I'm sorry, wife. I'm just feeling jealous and angry that you dare to enter my brother's house. I was thinking that you are getting too far with your fantasy towards my brother. Honestly, I feel jealous!" Cooper said.

Laura glared at him. "Nonsense!"

"Please forgive me, wife. I'll never do it again. I will never force myself on you again," he made an oath.

Laura took a deep breath. "Okay fine, you're forgiven. Just don't do it again! I warn you!" she said. She remembered too well that Luke's doppelganger wants to kill Cooper but she prevented him. She hopes she won't regret her decision in saving Cooper's life. She wants to go back to her room. "I want to continue my rest. Anything else?" she asked him.

Cooper scratched his head in confusion. "Hmm...yes...I would like to ask what happened last night when you left me alone in my brother's house? Because I don't remember much..." he said.

"What happened to you last night? What did you remember?" she asked trying to gauge what he had seen with his eyes.

Cooper rubbed his chin trying to remember what exactly happened last night when he was about to kiss Laura's lips. Things become blurry, no matter how hard he tries to remember the events after...he can't remember anything. When he wakes up in the morning, he was already alone and Laura was no longer in the bed with him.

"What I remember is that I was about to kiss your lips, then something happened that I can't comprehend. Something comes up that things become blurry and I can no longer remember anything. Did you see anything in that room? Did you know what happened?" he asked.

Laura throws a venomous look into his eyes. "Huh? Why did you ask me? You put powder on my face that put me to sleep. I didn't see anything after I passed out. When I wake up its already morning and I left the house immediately. I didn't bother to wake you up because I'm so mad at you!" she lied straight into his face.

Cooper scratches his head in puzzlement. When he wakes up his clothes are intact - which means he didn't succeed with his intention to take Laura by force last night. But he had a feeling that something happened last night. He just can't put a word on it. Right now, Laura insisted that she also didn't know anything.

"Are you done? I'm going back to my room and rest, I have a headache," she said and rose to her feet.

"Wife, please take your medicine," he said, feeling worried about her condition. The headache that she was experiencing right now must be the side effect of the powder that he sprayed on her face last night. He felt guilty right somehow, but he already apologize to her, yet he was still worried that she might tell his father about what he has done to her. His father will get mad for sure for treating his future wife just like any woman in the brothel. "Please take care of yourself," he said.

"I will!" she responded and left the balcony. She strolled in the hallway going back to her room.

After entering her room, she went back to bed and resumed her rest. She closed her eyes.

Then she drifted into a blissful sleep again.

It was already 10:00 in the morning, lunchtime is approaching. The sun was shining brightly up in the sky. The birds were chirping, hopping from branches to branches.

It was a beautiful day, to begin with, the weather outside is sunny.

A light originating from the outside entered through the window and settled in the room, then suddenly it formed into a figure of a man. He stood still in the middle of the room, staring at Laura's sleeping form. He picked up the rose from the dresser table and walked towards the bed. He placed the rose on the pillow and continue staring at Laura's beautiful face lovingly.
