♕PROLOGUE♕
583 Words
In a secluded room where the full moon is seen and its bright light is shining through the open window, the deafening silence of the surrounding is not ideal for Kiera to spend her last moments in life.
Kiera spits out her blood as she felt the black and long nails of the vampire standing in front of her, digging into her chest; the man coldly stared at her as he plunges his right hand deeper into Kiera's chest, and in just a blink of an eye, he's already holding Kiera's beating heart. The woman's body slumped down into the cold floor while her eyes are glued to her beating heart in the palm of that vampire.
As Kiera's life slowly fades, she started asking herself. Is this how her life will end? What about her dreams? What about her plan on avenging her mother's death? Besides, she hasn't gained her father's trust yet. Furthermore, there are still a lot of things that she wanted to have, like her family's recognition. She may be a grown-up woman, but she's still a child who seeks attention and love from the people around her, especially from her family. Once again, Kiera questioned her fate.
Is this how she's going to die?
Kiera could not believe it. That a mere slave, a surname less vampire, will be the one to end the life of Kiera Deidamia Cicero Romulus, a child of the most powerful and influential Duke in the Lumire Empire. Such a thing is unacceptable; however, it did happen, and Kiera does not want this to be her end.
Till her last breath, her mind is still full of regrets, hatred, and jealousy. She wanted revenge against her unfair destiny, against the people who did not give her any importance or care. She wanted to have a fulfilling life.
Kiera glared at her best friend, Diana Athena Eckheart, the woman who has almost all the things in the world that Kiera wanted, beauty, wealth, power, attention, and love from the people around them. She's a fortunate woman, unlike Kiera, who her own family has never accepted, the person that everyone hated, and the woman who was never chosen and loved by the man she likes. The difference between Diana and Kiera is enormous, and that is what drove Kiera to loath her best friend.
Kiera saw the tears falling from Diana's eyes, but Kiera loathed her more than she feels apologetic at. Diana's tears won't stop as she held her lips tightly while looking at Kiera's situation right now. Diana couldn't fathom why her best friend, Kiera, would do such a horrible act towards her, and due to her evil intent, she has paid for her terrible action with her own life.
Kiera looked at Diana with hateful eyes. If only Diana refused the emperor to crown her as a princess. If only Diana did not leave her all alone and miserable. If only Diana chose to stay as Kiera's best friend instead of her relationship with that measly vampire slave, Kiera would have never attempted to harm Diana. But those are just pure what if's because Diana did the complete opposite; Diana did not choose Kiera.
Kiera gathered her remaining strength and spoke with evil eyes while blood flowing in her mouth.
"C-Curse you...I-I s-swear, I w-will return a-and m-make you p-pay for this,"
As Kiera's life ended, a single teardrop falls from her right eye, and the room was filled with Diana's sobs.
