Finally i am able to update! Sorry it took me so long... had a major bad case of writers block. I truly hope you like this chapter.
Time later…
"Do you regret this love…?" Kaname asks.
"No, why would I regret this my prince? I'm truly yours now," I whisper. He lightly pulls me into a hug and says,
"How I longed for this moment to come, and now nothing can come between us," He whispers in my ear.
"Nothing ever could, our love is stronger…" I giggled. He sweetly looks into my eyes and lightly strokes my cheek with the palm of his hand.
"Vivien… if I asked you to give up your human life for that of a vampire one would you?" Kaname asks.
"Of course I would, to be with you always… it would've been better off if you would have killed me," I said with sincerity.
"Even though it makes me happy that you say that, I couldn't just kill you… I wouldn't condemn you to such life," Kaname responds.
"Then why ask me a question that brings you discomfort?" I ask him.
"Because… I love you, and your opinion matters to me," He says, lightly kissing me on the lips. Reality hit me…
"What about everything else though… everyone else?" I ask.
"And what about everything…?"
"What about my father… your Yuri, your people…? Hiroaki…?" I answer. As soon as I said Hiroaki's name, anger filled his eyes.
"Why do you mention him…?" He snaps.
"Because he is important to me, so is my father! In addition, what about everyone you know…? The people you rule…?" I mutter in slight anger.
"My side doesn't concern you in the slightest Vivien; I am the one who has to deal with them…" He says in a serious tone.
"Kaname didn't you just say that my opinion matters to you…?" I ask, trying my best not to get angry.
"It does, but I don't want you involved… they could harm you" Kaname says. Furiously, I get up from bed and walk over to the door. I open it and look at him with fury.
"Get out please…" I said in a cold tone.
"Vivien, why are you angry…? I'm only doing this to protect you," He says as he sits up.
"Get out of my room and home will you please…" I reply.
"Very well… I'll be seeing you soon," Kaname says in a sharp tone.
"Hopefully a million years…" I answer as he walks out the door. Was this love ever going to be in one peace? It was not only the world against us… it was us as well. I hated the way he sometimes viewed me as a weak human. Sure, I am nothing but a mere human, but he did not have to treat me like a naïve dope!
"Everything's going according to plan… Yuri is upset and that's an upside for us," Kyrie laughs.
"Upside…? That leech is surely with Vivien right now and you're talking about an upside!" Max yells, snatching the glass of blood Kyrie held in his hand.
"Aw… my little mortal is upset, don't worry… today you will get to confess your undying love for the sweet Vivien" Kyrie says sarcastically, chuckling.
"But what about Kaname…?" Max snaps.
"I've known the idiot for decades… and I've watched him closely. He is a strong being I will give him that, but he tends to have a weakness. Vivien will be that weakness" Kyrie chuckles.
"I'm afraid I don't quite understand Kyrie…" Max mutters in confusing.
"Let me put it this way… Kaname may pretend he's a cold hearted king, but deep down he's a worthless soul that thinks it's doing good," Kyrie explains.
"I see… so Kaname's really a weakling deep down" Max said with a smile on his face.
"Exactly my dear mortal pet…" Kyrie chuckles and adds, "And Vivien is the key to his downfall"
Days later…
"You should be fine from your arm real soon Mr. Mahoney, just make sure that you keep your cast dry and clean," I told our patient. Max gets up from his chair and hands him subscription papers.
"Just take both pills two times a day, after breakfast and dinner preferably. I should see you in two weeks my friend" Max said with a kind smile on his face.
"I sure will… thank you both for such nice hospitality," Mr. Mahoney says as he walks out the observation room.
"Take care…" Both Max and I said at the same time.
"Vivien you never fail to amaze me…" Max says as soon as Mr. Mahoney was out of sight. I could not help but giggle at his comment.
"Why do you say such thing Max…?" I ask.
"The way you're dedicated to your father's clinic and to helping people. No wonder why Rosalie loved you so…" I felt a huge lump in my throat when he said her name. I missed her terribly. I would have probably told her so many things by now.
"Thank you for your kind words Max…" I said with a light smile on my face.
"I was wondering… would you like to join me for lunch? It's your father's day off today and you usually eat lunch alone now" It felt somewhat weird that Max had asked me this. Usually, Max would always go somewhere else to lunch. Where, I do not know…
"Sure Max, if you don't mind my company" I shyly respond.
"Why would I mind your company Vivien…?" He asks.
"After all, you use to have lunch with Rosalie and now I guess you eat alone… or with a friend?" I dared myself to say.
"Yes I did… but my colleague's on a trip, and sometimes he could be quite a bore" He chuckles.
"When you put it that way… then okay," I giggle. Suddenly, I hear my name being called from the front office.
"Vivien… its Hiroaki, are you there?" He asks.
"Pardon me Max…" I said, quickly rushing to the front office.
"Hiroaki… what brings you here?" I ask in astonishment.
"Lord Watanabe wishes to see you…" Hiroaki says with slight dislike.
"If he wishes to see me, then why hasn't he?" I snap.
"He says you were angry with him and that he wished to wait until you felt better"
"Tell him to take his wishes and shove it down his throat," I mutter in anger.
"As much as I would like to tell him that, I cannot. Vivien I know you love him and he loves you deeply" He says, lightly chuckling.
"Why such amusement Hiroaki…?" I said with a smile.
"You're enchanting when you're angry," He says.
"When I'm angry or when I'm mad at him?" I ask, giggling.
"At him… but Vivien you must not get angry with him, that's his way of protecting yo-"
"By acting like I'm some kind of pet, then no thank you" I quickly said.
"Vivien you must understand him…" He says.
"I have tried but… he is just so impossible sometimes Hiroaki. If only my heart would have loved you the way it does him… and I truly mean that," I said to him with all sincerity. He sweetly smiles and says,
"What matter to me is your happiness, and that I exist in your heart" He responds, lightly cherishing my cheek with the palm of his hand. Just then, Max walks into the room.
"Is there something wrong Vivien…?" He asks in a rude tone.
