*Flashback*
In country Thev...
Stan mansion
**********
Stan had been looking for suitors for Rose, and when he saw this man, he knew that he was the one. It was just a demon thing. The suitor was tall, and good looking. Stan had never seen a man so good looking, even in his basic clothes, he still looked dashing.
They were sitting in Stan's luxurious parlor as their conversation started with greetings. "What makes you think that you are good for my daughter" Stan asked.
"Well I have no intention to marry your daughter, it is just compromise, I am doing this for my grandfather but I will still keep your daughter happy, I promise" the suitor answered which was not totally a lie. Apart from his grandmother, he wanted to get married to prove a point.
"Why would I, Stan marry my only daughter to you when you are doing it only for compromise?" Stan asked. The suitor arched a brow and smirked.
"That is quite an attitude. Well Stan, it is better that your young human girl marries someone who can take care of her than for her to be unprotected and killed by your bloodthirsty demon enemies" Stan glared at this man. This man was right after all. He was of no much protection to his daughter and this man was a powerful demon who could keep his daughter safe. Marriage first, love would come later.
The suitor then looked at Stan as if he was reading his thoughts. "Well then, what is your name boy?" Stan asked again. The suitor scoffed "boy..." He thought and scoffed again. "Zayne" the suitor said with such an aura that made Stan shiver. "O-okay so, I am entrusting my daughter with you, so I will arrange for a date tommorow" Stan stuttered
"I will take my leave now" Stan stood up "Thank you for having me, Mr Stan" Zayne said and left the parlor.
How dare that man call him boy? Did he know who he was? Zayne thought and poured cold water on his face and hands. He had started to regret his actions. He never liked women, they were waste of time, and distraction. His father had died because he wanted to save the life of his devilish step mother, who left them and turned into a witch. A wicked and Self centered one as a matter of fact.
Zayne sighed and decided to go to his family mansion. He had to make sure his grandfather died safely, after death, he would move on to the next life and leave only Zayne to hold the family name and reputation. It would be hard, but Zayne would do every thing in his power to uphold the reputation . However, he found a force pulling him somewhere, until he was close to it, he sniffed in the scent of roses mixed with caramel and a faint smell wine.
After a while, he realised he was in front of a girl, sniffing her hair like a dog.
He opened his eyes and saw a beautiful thin figure standing in front of him. She had long red hair, beautiful jawline, thin plump pale pink lips, long lashes, emerald green eyes, and a long slender neck.
"Are you mad? Hello...hey stop sniffing me!!!" she tried to catch his attention.
"Mine...!" Zayne said and his brows furrowed. He felt his fangs elongating but quickly snapped out of the spell Rose had gotten him into. Zayne suddenly felt irritated for his actions and just apologised.
"Sorry, you are drunk?"
"No, you are drunk. How dare you sniff me, do you know who I am? I...I am, I am Rose, daughter of Stan okay? Next time think before acting. Who are you anyways" Rose asked. "Call me Zayne" Rose squinted then rolled her eyes while she staggered to the mansion.
Zayne sighed. What kind of girl will he be marrying? She is crazy. Zayne shook his head and teleported to his family mansion.
***************
"Master Zayne, master! Your grandfather..." one of the maids shouted. "What? Is he dead?" Zayne asked sarcastically "No master, he is dying and he wishes to see you master" Zayne did not even flinch or show any emotions and just went to his grandfather's room.
"Couldn't you have died later? In a rush to meet less boring things in the next life, Daemon" Zayne said looking at the state of his grandfather. Daemon chuckled and looked at his grandson in the eyes. "I want you to marry someone *cough* you cannot be alone in this life" Zayne scoffed at his words.
"Be good to your wife you bastard! See you soon"
Daemon continued coughing and soon started coughing blood and finally stopped.
"He is dead" Zayne squatted and looked at Daemon. "He definitely did this to himself purposely" He smirked and shook his head, remembering Daemon's words.
Alone in this life? Even in his next life, he was sure to be alone, after all no one could break the curse of his step mother, Elzica, and as far as Rose, he was sure she would leave him, perhaps after three days, but he would not let that happen.
Never
