Chapter 4
Now, as we all know that veronica agreed to talk with the father of her child alone which brings us to the current situation, Veronica is inside the office of the devil, alone with him. You must be wondering what they are doing inside after all the room was locked from the inside. Just so you know. ..you are not the only curious one; the she devil is also quite curious. That is why she had her ears attached to the wall trying her best to find out what was actually going on behind the closed door. Even she knew very well that when it comes to women sorry beautiful girls her fiances tight screw automatically get a little unscrewed.
Ruka couldn't hear a single word so it frustrated her, after all in her minds she could imagine!
"Lord Kaname!"
"Yes…" Kaname responds keeping his calm demeanor
"….Lord Kaname.."Veronica called again this time batting her lashes exactly the way actresses do in tacky movies to seduce the hero's. "..take me and my virginity for real." Kaname smirks at first then gives her a twisted smile. "…please.." This time Veronica pleads byting her lower lip in a super seductive manner.
"Ofcourse, virgin girls are always my favourite meal." Kaname informs hers licking his lips like lion that's been hungry for ages. And almost jumps onto her the next second pulling her into a fierce kiss, and within a minute he picks her up and places her on the study table and next Veronica is screaming out his name as if there is not tomorrow.
"…Ka-name…yes..yes…yes…ahh yes.."
'….no.."
"..No..no..no HELL NO.." Ruka almost screamed with rhythm.
"Ruka!" the said person just jumped on the spot hearing her yet to be mother in law's voice calling her "What are you doing? Standing here like a statue?"
"I..um..me …I.." Ruka was actually out of words, she honestly had no good sentence in her mind that she could make up to fool her future pureblood mother in law. On top of that her ultra-odd behaviour made her more like a theif but Juri Kuran ignored it anyways and focused on dragging her out of there.
"Come with me Ruka, help me make the most delicious custard for Veronica. After all that her favourite dessert." Ruka only rolled her eyes at her Juri's comment. She didn't like the attention Juri was giving that little pureblood brat, after all who was she anyway? Just a result of Yuki's horrible mistake. She Ruka Souen was kaname's true fiancé the Kuran wife but her mother in law didn't seem to acknowledge this fact at all and it always drove Ruka to the edge.
"What do you think is going on there?" Ruka asked Juri in an irritated tone and that was not something bad, honestly any girl in her place would be worried if they knew Kaname's true color. Truth be told Ruka wouldn't have been this worried if Veronica was an ugly duckling but of-course luck was only joking with the Souen girl turning the situation vise-versa.
"Lad Juri?" Ruka kind of pushed the pureblood queen for an answer. "What do you think is going on there?" insecurity was crystal clear in her tone.
"…Hmmmm..I don't know." It's true Juri didn't know what was actually going on inside that room but this is what she wanted….
"Veronica?" The said person looks up to the man who calls her innocently.
"..Yes..Lord kaname?" Her voice comes out even more innocent.
Kaname gets on his knees in front the girl who is in-fact the mother of his child and gently strokes her hair "DO you believe in love at first sight?" Veronica looks down at her lap to hide her blushing face.
"I…didn't but.." Veronica pauses increasing the male purebloods curiosity as he repeats after her in questioning manner "…But?" With one finger Kaname pushed her chin up in order to get a good look at her flushed face that somehow sent pleasures in his erogenous zones.
"But.." Veronica gulps nervously "..eversince I laid my my eyes on you, I started believing in it." Veronica shyly confessed.
"Samething is happening with me..I have fallen in love with you too.." kaname confesses as well " call me a sinful man but I don't love my fiancé, it's you who I love."
"….Kaname.."
"Veronica…"
"I love you.." both of says in union and right away indulges each other into a passionate kiss.
"Lady Juri…Lady Juri.." Ruka's sharp voice brought Juri Kuran back to reality out of her dream world. Ofcourse Ruka read through her mind and figured what she was think but then again it wasn't that difficult to understand after all she was always against her and Kaname's relationship. That is the main reason why she is bettering Isaya Shout's daughter so much so that she can easily get rid of Ruka but Ruka was determined that she wouldn't let that happen at any cost. She will not lose Kaname.
With all those crazy thought no one actually knew what was the real scenario behind the closed door's in Kaname's room. In truth it was nothing close to what his mother and fiancé was picturing. The main reason why Ruka couldn't hear a single word from the inside because none of them actually spoke since the door closed.
The exact scenario of the room was this; Kaname Kuran the perverted father of the baby had his eyes glued on Veronica, the young and beautiful mother. Veronica also had her eyes glued on something but it wasn't Kaname kuran, but it was his collection of books that was nicely decorated on the shelves by the wall.
"..Do you enjodrak fiction a lot? Veronica was the first one to break the slience, no the awkward silence.
"Not really…history is more of a favourite one. These are basically time passes when I have nothing to do really." Kaname responds choosing his words carefully.
"…Hmmmn." Veronica hums. Kaname observes placing both his hands inside his pocket. He was a bit disappointed since he was getting the amount of attention he expected.
"What do you enjoy…Veronica?" Veronica squeezed her eyebrows as Kaname spoke. For some reason she hated the way he uttered her name as if she was some object of lust. " Should I assume it to be fairy tales and Romance fantasies?"
A frustrated sigh escapes Veronica's lips. She was getting annoyed "Dan brown happens to be my favourite author and 'Da Vinci Code' and 'The Lost Symbol' happens to be my favourite book by him." Veronica answered through greeted teeth. After all his overconfidence attitude was making her mad, but she decided to keep her temper in check for now. After all it would be absolute stupidity making an enemy of this man because he can kill her in the blink of an eye.
"…Ah I'm cute surprised. But last time I checked those books are not meant for 18 year olds." Kaname spoke in a amused tone with little hints of sarcasm and mockery.
" Actually I'm sixteen!" This time Veronica spoke through tightened jaw and greeted teeth with a fake smile plastered on her angelic face.
Another sigh escapes Veronica's lips as she feels Kaname stepping closer to her. Kaname got quite closer towards the girl just keep only few inches gap between both their bodies.
"You seem quite intelligent for your age." Kaname whispers into her ear being down making sure that his breath tickles her the exposed skin of her neck. Still Veronica pays no attention instead she diverts her attention on one of the book placed on the top racks.
"…Well my teachers say that all the time Lord kaname." Veronica spoke while trying to get on her toes as she was trying to reach for a particular book that caught her attention. Being short added to her disadvantage as she was still few inches away from getting it but soon her struggle came to an end as she felt her feet being lifted off the ground while a pair of hands kept its tight grip on her thin waist. Veronica was caught off guard for a second but quickly snapped out of it and grabbed the book right away so that the person holding her would put her down.
Kaname did slowly put her down as soon as Veronica was done with it. There was a moment of awkward silence between them once again. Kaname was looking for any sort of emotion in her but she seemed way too consumed into the book that she just got. Which otherwise means again she was indirectly ignoring him. But who said the Kaname, sorry the devil was going to give up.
Kanae cleared his throat in order to get her attention, which he did because Veronica did look up to him as soon as she heard him clearing his throat.
"Consider it as my first of many gifts to you?" Kaname spoke in seductive yet flirty voice. Veronica simply smiled before opening her mouth "..Lord Kaname…I'm sorry this book is actually not my type." With that she handed over the book him with an apologetic look on her face. Though Kaname gave her a kind smile outside but inside he wanted to strangle the girl to death for insulting him in a cold blooded manner. Surely he can't do that after all if something happens to this brat then it's more of his loss than her's.
"May I please sit?" Veronica asked politely " with this pregnancy I seemed to get tired a lot."
"Ofocurse.." kaname quickly moves towards his couch and called her in a friendly gestured, Veronica slowly moved towards the couch and placed herself. Things did seem a bit peaceful but it didn't last long as the so called devil started speaking again. "Are you thirsty Veronica?"
"What?" She snapped a little. She didn't know exactly know why but she concluded it to be pregnancy hormonal disorder, when the person has no control over her emotions. In reality Veronica was a little thirsty for a particular person's but it definitely wasn't the one in front of him who was leaning on the wall with both his hands tugged inside his pocket.
"Don't deny..." Kaname said while taking his steps towards her till he was completely in front of her. "It's completely natural at this stage.." with that he went on his knees to adjust himself to Veronica's level and took both her hands in his and placed it exactly on his juggler on his neck, making her feel every beat of his pulse. In reaction Veronica squeezed her brows trying to fix him with a hard glare but all she got from him was a smirk of victory which increased her temper even more.
"Veronica…my blood belongs to you now. " A gasp almost escaped her lips. Despite the shock and anger in her eyes Kaname still continued " My blood is all yours. So any time you craves blood, please feel free to contact me." Veronica tried to appear calm and brave outside but truth be told she was feeling quite scared inside. The man before her was truly cunning bastard and it was quite hard to understand what his actual motive was behind his extreme-kindness. After all her sisters are biggest examples of what Kaname Kuran is capable of when it comes to women. So one thing Veronica knew for now, was that she needs to be very very careful.
"Veronica?" Kaname called the younger vampire cupping her face which made her almost snap back to reality. "What are you thinking about?" he asked in a tender voice. So tender that it actually sent shiver down her spine. Not in a good way though, it got her thinking what was he actually up to? "Are you still leaning towards the idea of abortion?" Veronica's heart skips another beat 'was I that obvious?' was all Veronica could think of that moment. Veronica got carried away to her thought and failed to realize that Kaname was getting closer. Veronica almost jolted as she felt a hand on her chest exactly on the spot where her heart beats. "Your heart is beating at an exceptionally faster rate. Are you that scared of me..my dear?" His tone got Veronica speechless momentarily but her brain told her to change the topic before he goes into another direction.
"I..I think this baby will create a lot of problem for us. That's why I'm still leaning towards abortion." Kaname this time took her face in both his palms "Nothing will change Veronica." He was about to bring her face more closer but Veronica reacted fast by putting her hand on his chest in order to put a decent distance between them.
"Maybe not for you, but my whole life has turned upside down." Veronica's voice came out as a hiss.
"Veronica.." Kaname tried to cup her face again but Veronica slapped his hands away.
"And one more thing lord Kaname…please stop touching me as if I'm your personal property; I would really appreciate." Kaname's eyes widen with shock for a second but soon recovered. He was truly offended no girl has ever had the audacity to say that to him on his face but it looks like there is always first time for everything. Then again Veronica is also very luck that she is pregnant with his child, if that wasn't the case then by now she would be nothing but dust particles floating in the air.
Gaining his composure Kaname decides to explain her once again "I need this child Veronica; please it's my only chance to have a pureblood child…I'm begging you. I really do need the baby." This time Veronica did find an emotion on the emotionless devil's eyes that happened to be desperation. And yes it was something very rare.
Veronica bit her lower lip and shut her eyes as tight as possible in order to stop the frustrated tears to stream down…but alas it was already too late.
"Veronica…you're crying." It was supposed to be a statement but sounded more like a question.
"You know…all my sisters said this about you; that you're heartless. Today I'm seeing it with my very own eyes."
Devils are heart less and of course Kaname Kuran was no less and it was further proved as he opened his mouth next " Is it wrong for a father to want his child?"
A tired sigh escapes Veronica's lips " the only reason you want this child is because it's going to be a pureblood." Kaname was silences because veronica was on the dot correct. That's the only reason why he was so desperate. " Even my sister Lydia…was pregnant but you denied. Leaving her with no choice but to abort." This time Veronica's voice broke. Kaname tried to pull her into a comforting embrace but of course veronica stopped him.
"Lydia used to cry all night for you…what a fool she was…"
" Veronica… I was young back then."
" on several occasions she tried to commit suicide." Veronica hissed.
"…Veronica.."
" but you chose to return her love in quite a unique manner…by fucking bother her sisters." Veronica spat the last few words.
"…Veronnica..I..I know what I did was wrong, I've changed. I'm no more that person." Kaname tried to wipe away her tears but Veronica slapped his hand once again.
"Ofcourse you've changed, you've gone from bad to worse." Veronica pauses for a hiccup "Lydia isn't just my sister, she is also my best friend but now since I'm carrying your child, she doesn't even talk to me. There is not a single person with whom I can share my pain." Veronica pauses once again to wipe away her tears. "You even got a wonderful mother, something I don't have…It's not fair." Veronica sobbed louder.
Kaname was out of words. He had no idea what to do next, all he could do was silently want as Veronica cried but it turns out that the devil was actually born with quite a good luck soon the door to his room opened and Juri walked in and rushed towards the crying younger vampire and pulled her into a warm embrace and gently stroked her back.
"Who said you don't have a mother? I am your mother from now on and you are my youngest daughter." At that moment Juri's words did make Veronica feel a bit comfortable.
/*/*/*
Huge preparation was taken for dinner, but unfortunately due to all of a sudden nausea all Veronica could eat was the fruit salad. Then again who said Juri was going to give up so easily she packed up all of Veronica's favourite dishes and sent her home right away.
Soon it was time for Veronica to leave the Kuran mansion. Everyone came out to say goodbye to Veronica including Kaname and of curse Ruka was always free with him. the only one who wasn't actually present there was Juri Kuran.
Veronica moves towards Kaname only for Ruka to wrap her arms around his waist in a protective manner. Though her face had a smile but it clearly meant 'stay away from him…he is mine bitch.' But veronica just ignored her as he apologetically bowed "I'm sorry for all the harsh words today. My pregnancy hormones take control of my emotions at times."
"That's understandable…" Kaname said ruffling her hair. Ruka was also not that stupid she distracted her fiancé right away by placing her palm on his chest that was peeking through his half unbuttoned shirt. If Veronica felt something for Kaname it would have burned her inside but she didn't so it really didn't matter to her. Unfortunately it didn't go unnoticed by her devil either.
As Veronica was about to step inside the car Juri's screaming voice stopped her and she turned to see the vampire queen running down the stairs like a maniac with a rectangular velvety voice in her grasp.
"This is for you Veronica." Juri handed over the box to Veronica only for her to open it and gasp. There was a beautiful diamond necklace inside with a pair of matching earrings. Veronica loos at Juri confused as Juri explains " It's a tressure for the Kuran family, passed on from generation to generation only to the Kuran wives." Veronica's eyes widen as she understands what Juri is indicating. "I'm sorry then I can't take it. Besides why are you giving it to me anyway lady Juri?"
"Tutut…no lady Juri. What did I say.. call me mother from now on."
"..Mo-ther.." Veronica says in a nervously shy tone "..why are you giving it to me?"
"Because no it will not look good one anyone but you my child.." Juri says as she was about to kiss her temple but gets terribly interrupted as her real yet to be daughter in law speaks up or rather interrupts her.
"..But shouldn't I be the one getting that necklace mother?" Hatred very clear in Ruka's voice but it was difficult to tell who it was indicated towards, Juri her new daughter but it was also true that RUka hated both with passion.
" I don't recall giving you the permission to call me mother." Juri retorts. Haruka, Kaien Cross and yuki rolls their eyes at Juri-Ruka's conversation whereas kaname just sighed in frustration.
"..I will be your daughter in la-"
"Ruka.." The velvety voice of her fiancé cut her off. "I'm tired. Let's go." With kaname turned around and walked towards his room with Ruka following behind."
"Whore!" The couple heard Juri screaming out as they were going into their room but Kaname ignored it and as long as he ignored it she could get away doing anything.
/*/*/*
After a long day it was quite natural for Veronica to be tired after all young age pregnancy was not at all easy.
"Vernica baby did you finish your milk and cookies? " BOO-Voo her personal maid asked.
"Yes..you can take them away." Veronica responded from under the blanket Yes she was already lying down.
"Did you brush your teeth, do you night facial and put the moisturizer? You know know your mother will be very angry if you don't take care of your skin."
"I know BOO-Voo. I did everything. Now you can turn of the light." The older lady did as Veronica asked and soon as she was gone Veronica turned on her bed side lamp and slowly brought out a lavender photo-fame from underneath her pillow.
Soon a darker shade flushed over her face. Yes the studious nerd Veronica was blushing looking at the photo frame.
"I met the baby's father today. He is total A-hole. I wish this baby was yours instead of his." Veronica's blush deepened as these words escaped her lips. " I hope that you are nothing like him." this time she placed a soft kiss on the frame.
"Don't look at me like that, you're embarrassing me." Veronica looked away a bit embarrassed as the Person in the photo-frame was gazing at her too deeply. " I will never be able to say it out loud when we meet but I can say it here….I love you." This time Veronica kissed on the person's lips.
"Goodnight Senri."
Opps! That's our little Veronica's deepest darkest secret, she is head over heels for Senri Shiki, her childhood crush, her most favourite model and ironically the cousin of Kaname and Yuki Kuran and more than that now…he is the uncle to her unborn child.
