Chapitre 6: Sleep With The Master

"Iris, starting tonight you're going to stay with our…master."

Irritated with their current predicament, he exhaled a deep sigh, knowing that the vampire who was sleeping under their house for hundreds of years had just awakened and coercing them to fulfill their family obligation to serve him. However, the vampire with a nasty temper wouldn't tell them his name.

For sure his father had told him in the past but he just didn't listen because who would believe such a story of having a vampire under your house?

"With me? In the basement?" Her eyes were bulging in disbelief. "But why?"

"What choice do we have?" He snapped at her. "He asked to use the basement and it's not like we could put you in one of the rooms here on the first floor."

Iris bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from answering back because she knew that they could let her have one of the many rooms on the first floor but they wouldn't. They would just tell her that she's safer in the basement.

But with that hideous vampire staying with her there, how could she be safe? She shifted her eyes on her mother but she was busy counting money while Monette was on her phone, giggling every now and then.

She looked at her family members and wondered what had happened for them to accept the fact that a vampire was living in their house like it was not a reason to panic and be afraid for their lives. And then, her eyes landed on the duffel bag overflowing with money that was on the floor next to her father's feet and she got her answer.

"We need to work as a family—"

Iris scoffed to herself. 'Family?' A bitterness hit her heart. They never treated her like family. She has always been an outsider to them. Just like now, they don't care that a vampire is going to live with her. That she could be bitten and get killed anytime.

"Don't show us that face, Iris."

Minerva glared at her and she tried to fix her expression because she could be very cruel whenever she lost her temper, which was quite often.

"I could stay with Monette," she said in a small voice, staring at her older sister who glared at her like she was going to eat her alive.

"Don't ever think about it. I don't want to be anywhere with you when those creepy creatures that are crazy over your blood come after you."

Iris's eyes watered with the harsh tone of Monette. Before she found out by accident that they weren't related by blood, she had always admired Monette for her beauty. She's a year older than her but she has a svelte figure that turns any man's head. And with her long blond hair and baby blue eyes with long lashes that she can flutter to get her every whim, Monette is most men's dream girl.

She's always been cold towards her but she just thought that it was because she's like a walking stick that has grown a face and Monette was ashamed to introduce her as her sister.

However, when she found out that they weren't blood-related, she stopped asking for a reason why they were cold towards her.

"Papa," she returned her gaze back to her father. "How can I be comfortable with that vampire?"

"He's our master and you aren't supposed to be comfortable around him. He's a vampire after all."

"Exactly! He's a vampire! How are you so chill when you know that he can eat us any time he wants!" She was on the verge of a mental breakdown with the way her family was all acting with their current situation. out

"I'm not going to eat you…"

Iris went cold and rigid on her chair. She saw her parents' faces turn somber while Monette's eyes twinkled in excitement. Why in the world does she look like she sees some hot guy.

She slowly turned her head and her eyes landed on the most handsome man she had ever seen.

The man is tall with a pale complexion. He has a deep-set pair of eyes, a proud nose, a pair of lips that were curved in a cold sneer. She didn't realize that she was gawking until the man cleared his throat and squinted his eyes at her. She choked on her saliva when their eyes met.

Where did the hideous monster go? Why does this man look like a Hollywood actor? No wonder Monette looks like she is losing her mind. But, she couldn't believe that this man is the hideous creature that licked her palm and was asking for her blood.

"I won't eat you because if I do, I will no longer have a blood donor."

Iris wasn't able to process why the man was talking to her in such a tone. His tone of voice sounded so disgusted at her. She didn't do anything wrong with him. It was him who scared her to the point that she lost consciousness.

She didn't have the opportunity to think things over because Monette got up from her hair and stood next to the vampire.

"Hey, you shouldn't wear my father's clothes if you want to go out and see how the world changes."

"What kind of clothes should I wear then?"

Monette pushed Iris to the side, hooked her arm on his, and pulled him to the couch.

"This kind of clothes will look good on you. We can order these online and they will be delivered within the day."

Calixto looked at the small machine in Monette's hand and creased his brows. What kind of sorcery is this? He could see a lot of kinds of clothes being worn by some people inside the machine.

"I will wear this?" He nodded at the clothes that the man was wearing. He liked the way it fit the man's body and he wanted to have that physique.

"Yes. I can get you a mobile phone too?"

"Mobile phone?" He asked with utter shock. There were already so many things that he could not understand in this world. No wonder Theo told him that he could be killed in this modern world.
