My Vampire Stepbrother Lover

The Cold CEO's Unwanted Genius Wife

Meng Xinyu

I stood in the darkest corner of the Pierre Hotel’s ballroom, my cheap polyester dress itching against my skin while my wristband buzzed with a DARPA Priority Red alert. In front of the city’s elite, my fiancé Bryce Calloway took the stage, not to toast our future, but to publicly end our engagement and announce he was with my sister, Chloe. The room turned on me instantly, a hundred pairs of eyes pinning me down with pity and disgust as they physically backed away like I was contagious. When I returned home, my mother shattered a crystal vase at my feet, screaming that I was a humiliation and a "dropout" who didn't deserve a cent of the family fortune. Chloe and Bryce mocked me, laughing when I told them I had a mission with the National Security Agency, convinced I was either a pathological liar or a low-level criminal. They watched in horror as a black, unmarked military helicopter descended on our backyard to extract me, yet they still chose to believe I was being arrested for drug trafficking. They saw a pathetic girl who couldn't even parallel park, never realizing I was Dr. Nova Vance, the lead physicist behind the world's first successful fusion reactor. To secure funding for my research and gain a "fortress" of a name, I signed a thirty-day marriage contract with the arrogant billionaire Roman Knight. He treats me like a fraud, convinced I’m a gold-digger who failed out of college, while I quietly run global energy simulations from his guest bedroom. He has no idea that the "loser" he’s forced to live with is the same anonymous grandmaster who has been ruthlessly crushing him in online strategy games for months. "The contract is active," I told him, looking past his expensive suit. "But don't expect me to be your maid."

She was in the woods again. But this time she was not alone, unlike the previous times. The grandmaster was there . She was not sure how she knew him but he was the grandmaster.

Dilly strained her eyes to see properly, it was too bright in there. He watched her closely not daring to take a step closer, she could see every muscle in his body tense, she wanted to ask him why but at that instance her mouth felt like it would not open. The atmosphere was calm and the birds whispered sweet melodies in her ears.

Dilly worried about the strange looking man sitting across her.

"I've never seen you here" she managed to say.

He smiled showing a set of extremely white teeth, "I'm the Grandmaster".

She nodded like she was expecting him to say that.

"Well I wish I was" he laughed. "I'm only but a messenger, but I'm the grandmaster's favorite"

He was beaming with so much pride.

She looked at him in awe. He wasn't the grandmaster but the grandmaster existed. She could not figure out how she knew but she just knew it. It felt strangely familiar.

His big blue eyes shone as he looked at her, "there are five powerful cities in the world beyond and I'll list them according to hierarchy ".

"The world beyond?" she thought

If anyone had told her there was a world asides the human world on earth , she would have argued flatly. But she had been dreaming about it. Could this be one of her numerous dreams ?

" These cities are powerful and they all work together for the well being and growth of the immortals..." he continued.

"we care about humans too....sometimes" he shrugged.

Her eyes were fixed on his sharp jawline and sexy lips as he spoke.

"These cities are Lebron, Iris, Lozandros... " he stopped and scrutinized her from head to toe.

Dilly suppressed a giggle because he was acting just like her chemistry professor would.

"Pasia and Latos" she said almost in a whisper.

He nodded in agreement with a wide grin. She smiled in spite of herself. How did she know that ?

"Are you ready Dilly? " he got up swiftly and began to stroll into the depths of the woods effortlessly.

She followed suit, "yes I am! ".

She was going to scream "ready for what?" but he moved too fast and he was doing it effortlessly. She ran after him as much as her legs could carry her.

"Messenger please slow down, I might go out of breath" she pleaded. He didn't tell her his name , so it just made sense to call him messenger.

They stopped when they got to the bank of the cleanest river Dilly had ever set her eyes on. The water was blue and sparkling.

Her jaw dropped in amazement. "I've never been to this part of the woods."

She turned back to look at the grandmaster's messenger and what she saw made her gasp. She opened her mouth but there was no sound.

Right before her eyes, he was transforming into what looked like an angel. His wings was a mixture of white and gold. Her heart raced at the transformation.

"Somebody help!!" She screamed internally.
