Bride of the vampire
Chapter fifty

"There is where you belong. At my feet with your head bow".

"How dare you!!!?." She screamed as she made to hit her with dark powers.

"Don't even dare try to lay a finger on her!".

Rose appeared in front of crystal with a dark aura coming from her, forming a shield to protect crystal.

"Pathetic little slut. Going after the powerless". She added.

"You better stay out of this. I will deal with you later". She yelled angrily facing crystal.

"Thank you". Crystal said to rose.

"I still don't like you. So keep your gratefulness to yourself". Rose said, rolling her eyes.

"Do you have to behave like a bitch every time". Crystal responded irritatedly.

"I'd behave anyhow I want.".

"I wanna make something. Care for?". Crystal asked, walking into the kitchen.

"I'd like some if you don't add poison".

"Killing you is like a waste of effort. You ain't useful".

"Says the bitch who I just saved her slutty ass".

"I never ask for your help".

"I never ask for your food".

"Bitch".

"Slut".

"So I see you and Carlo been fucking around. Ain't you a bitchy slut? Fucking a guy you just met?". Crystal teased.

"I didn't fuck that fool! And who told you I just met that son of a bitch". Rose responded angrily.

"Oh so you guys have Been smacking for a long time". Crystal laughed teasing her.

"We haven't." Rose blushed.

"We just kissed ok? Nothing serious". She said, passing the bowl to crystal as she poured some flour inside. "So you guys are a thing now?".

"You have prolly kissed Damien a few times. Are you guys a thing?".

"No". Crystal replies, rolling her eyes.

"You don't have to answer my question with another question, by the way. Why did you.......". Rose cut her off.

"You talk too much bitch. Don't forget I don't like you!". She snapped at her

"I just wanted to ask why you left the stripper club. You don't have to yell at me". Crystal pout like a baby.

"Ain't you adorable?". Rose pinch her cheeks

"Common start cooking. I haven't had anything since last night".

They continue talking and gisting like old friends. No one will believe they used to be on each other's neck before. The fact they had always been competitors. Olivia stared at them from afar.

"Laugh all you want crystal. I will make you lose all your loved ones."

"How about we start with your mother?". She grilled evilly.

.

Damien sat in the car with max, in the parking lot of his house.

He had gone to bring him earlier after he left crystal. Even though he couldn't say it. Max was the only one he trusted and believed was capable of protecting crystal.

"You know the reason why I bought you back?". He asked coldly.

"Yes. To protect crystal and make sure she's safe". Max responded. Even though he was grateful for being bought back here. He also needed time to be away from Aiden and think things straight.

No matter how hard he tries, he still can't put the pain away from his heart. It hurts and it hurts a lot.

"Are you okay?". Damien asked, looking at max worriedly

This was the first time he'd seen Max look so down and out of earth. Max was a person filled with possibility and positive energy. But today he was looking at a different Max, who was filled with sadness and devastation. Max wanted to break down in Damien's arm and tell him how he was feeling. But....

What would Damien think of him? After his father's betrayal? And Max fell in love with his only enemy.

He faked a smile and responded

"I'm fine".

Damien nodded, he packed well as they both got out and walked into the mansion.

"Max!". Crystal screamed happily as she saw him.

Hurriedly went to hug him.

Damien faked a cough and they quickly disengaged.

"How have you been?". Max asked, smiling.

"I'm fine. You look so lean. Have you eaten ?? I made some food".

She went to the kitchen, dish out some food and dragged him by the hand going upstairs.

"Where do you think you're going?". Damien groans.

"To the room of course!".

She dragged him upstairs as Damien kept nagging asking why she would take him to her room.

She brought out an extra plate as she dished out a small potion for me. He finished it in now time asking for extra.

"Gosh! You make such good food". He moaned.

"Come here". Crystal beckoned at him, tapping the space beside her.

As soon as he sat down, she forcibly rest his head on her laps.

Max laughed

"Acting like my mother?". He said, resting comfortably on her laps.

"You can consider me as one".

"What's wrong? You know you can always tell me anything?". She whispered, stroking his hair softly.

Max broke down immediately, as his tears fell freely onto her laps.

"How do you manage to do this?". He whispered

"I don't know. I guess I don't feel good when I see you sad". She chuckled.

"It's Aiden".

"Your enemy boyfriend?".

Max laughed and cry at the same time

"Yes!".

"What did he do?".

"He has a boyfriend". He lies, not wanting her to tell he had a mate. He had no idea if she knew anything about the supernatural world.

"And he lied to me. He doesn't have one. He said he only love me and not him." He cried.

"And he's your....." he paused, doubting whether to tell her the guy in her house was a werewolf and gay.

"They have been together for a while now. I have no idea about it. If I had known I wouldn't have fallen for him nor slept with him at all. I was just so stupid".

"You ain't stupid. You see, falling in love is like holding a candle. When you hold it and light it. It makes the room bright and lightens up your world but when it starts to melt, it starts to hurt your hand. Just like you now, You like him and failed to notice all his flaw and you basically can't blow him off because he lights up your world and it will hurt if you don't let go".

"And one more thing you should know. Love isn't about running or giving up easily. It is about standing and fighting for every moment with each other.".

"But..." Max tries to speak.

"No, but. Did you even try to hear him out?".

"No. I was too angry and heartbroken".

"What if the other guy was lying and wasn't his boyfriend but some crazy ex?".

"Don't tell me you are just gonna give up just because someone from nowhere came and started claiming him?".

"What am I supposed to do?". He cried.

"Let your heart lead you". She responded smiling, as she continues stroking his hair

Not long after he fell asleep.

At the door. Damien gasped in shock as he heard their whole conversation.

Max was gay??? And he was seeing Aiden of all people??

His eyes popped out angrily as his fangs came.
