Chapter 4 - Beyond evil

1399 Words
It was already Friday afternoon and freshmen are pulled out from their classes for the club enlistment. I anticipated for this day. Finally, I will have something more to do rather than just study and slack off in the house. All of our classmates have left the room, but we decided to stay just until the chaos of this enlistment has calmed. "Are you kidding me? Are you willing to dive in to that pool of people?" Alicia asked after she saw what we were staring down the building. The college students scattered all around the campus for the enlistment. "But there are only limited slots for Happy Chef Club!" I clang to her right arm and pouted. She glared at me like she couldn't believe what she's seeing. "Now she's acting like a newby! Alright. Give the little girl what she wants." Andrea said with loath. I mouthed her 'thanks'. "Under what club are you going to register?" I asked them. "Fashion Design, of course." I nodded. They are all models, so they should choose something that fits their level. "Just go with us. You'll only find losers in that Happy Chef Club." That's better than being outcast in their club. I waved goodbye to them as they went to the other direction. The school is big enough to hold regional events, and I can't believe that they did not maximize it for this one-time event. I keep bumping the arms of strangers. When I finally saw the club I want to join, I searched for the end of line. I was walking until someone from behind pushed me. What the hell?! I turned around to see who that was. I saw a pregnant professor who also fell on the ground. My anger consequently disappeared. I was going to help her to stand, but I felt the pain in my right leg. The students around helped us, but I cried in pain. I injured my leg, and the pain is intolerable. Tears escaped my eyes while I'm biting my lip. "What happened here?!" The familiar voice ousted the students who are trying to help me. I looked up and there was the man with winter gray eyes burning in anger as he stared down to my distressing situation. On bended knees, King reached for my legs to look if the injury was serious. Even he moved it just a little, I felt the pain. "Call the clinic now. Send a stretcher or wheelchair!" He shouted to one of the men around. I tried to save at least my dignity. How embarrassing that a college student got stomped by others during enlistment. "Stop crying." He removed the coat he was wearing and put it to my legs. I didn't notice that my position exposes my legs. I quivered when he shouted to tell other people to stop looking at me. His jaw moved and veins showed in his neck. Is it right to find him sexy at this situation? When the stretcher arrived, the nurses carried me to the clinic. I assured King that I'm alright, but he still insisted to go. His manly fragrance made me calm somehow. They called my parents right away to inform what happened to me. After resting my legs with a hot compress, the pain eventually goes away. The doctor recommended that I should still undergo X-ray. Everyone left the room, but King stayed. My brows raised when he walked close. "Y-you can go. My parents will be here soon." A smirk painted in those delectable lips. "Why are you so clumsy?" "Why do you care?" I bite my lower lip when I answered in the same sarcastic tone. I was out of my mind. I forgot that he's my professor. But what's more surprising is that he doesn't look surprised with that. He leaned on the bed as if examining the hot compress wrapped in my legs. That was enough to make me blush. He's literally scrutinizing my legs. He did not even hide the desire in his eyes. I felt like I'm being harassed, but I like it. What he's doing is sexy. I cleared my throat and pulled the blanket to cover my exposed skin. "M-my leg will be fine. T-thanks for the help." His eyes went up to my chest and to my neck. It stayed there, so I felt hot all over. "W-what are you doing, s-sir?" I asked. He snorted, and put his hands on his pocket. "Watching you close. I'm giving that to myself as a reward." My lips are in think line with what he said. How can he be so vocal about that? "Sorry to disappoint you, but my body is not for your sight. This is harassment. I can press charges..." "Go ahead. I'll pay any price just to see you up close." He's crazy. I stared at him for a moment, but I can't see any flaw in him. When the door opened, I caught him gritting his teeth and his eyes turned red. I can't be wrong this time. He's not human. When I looked at his back, I saw my parents and the door is still open. There was a man in wheelchair and his head is bleeding a lot. "Hermosa.." Dad called, but their eyes are stuck with the man beside me. When my professor turned around, my parents stepped back as if they were afraid of who they saw. "K-king.." Dad uttered. My mom knelt and dad eventually did so. My jaw dropped with what I just witnessed. "What is happening?! MOM! DAD!" I was about to get up from bed, but he spoke again. "Stay in bed if you don't want them to get hurt." I was in awe. Who is he to make my parents bow and knelt? "Stand. I want to hear how you've been doing after betraying Lumieres." What is he talking about? King Axel's POV My eyes grew dark on the people kneeling in front. Who would have thought that the parents of my mate are the betrayers who killed my mother? It has been a long time, and I saw that they aged gracefully. A lot of thoughts are playing in my head when I laid my eyes on them. Hermosa is not human, and she's not aware of that. I will make her parents pay by taking away from them the most precious gift they received from above. I suddenly felt in a good mood with the realization that no one can really stop me from marrying the clumsy lady behind me. "It's been a long time, King. I hope you have forgiven us... already." I laughed sardonically before walking back to bed. I sat beside their daughter, and even I'm not facing her, I can imagine the furious look she's giving me. "How am I supposed to forgive people who aren't sorry in the first place?" And I know right at that moment that they did not regret killing my mother at all. The past is behind us, but if I say that I can't forgive them then there's nothing they can do, but do as I say. "We were kicked out from your empire. Isn't that enough?" Hermano asked. "Definitely not enough." I stared at the lovely lady beside me. Her eyes are wondering what's happening. No matter what expression of her face shows, she's as beautiful as perfect in my eyes. "N-not our daughter." Belle Vallera who used to be my late mother's bestfriend is now shaking in fear. "Seems like she's not aware of her real identity. I will pay a visit one day in your house. We will talk about the settlement that is long due." "Take my life instead, King. I'm begging.." "Dad, what's happening? What is he talking about? Why is he talking down to you?" I am quite enjoying this moment. Things are smooth-sailing unlike my expectation. She is a vampire, and I will put her under my supremacy. Then I will marry her and keep her near every night. "I don't want your life, Hermano. Your daughter's is what I want." The door opened again and the nurse came in. I went out without looking back to them. I will give them some nights to ponder what I will do. I am beyond evil; I forgot to tell them before I leave.
