The wedding date was set for 03/03. March 3rd. A symbolism of their third life together. 3 of 3 lives, no more than that. With the date and venue secured, so were the wedding invitations. Lina wanted a small wedding, but judging from the amount of cake, she decided to keep it traditional. Kaden limited the number of guests to no more than two hundred. Lina didn't have any personal people to invite, except Isabelle, her closest friend, and her brother, Milo. The rest was handled by Estella and Kaden.…-

On the same day, the wedding planner secured locations to visit after hearing about the couple's plans for a grand wedding in a castle. Some spots were fully booked for touring, but the mere mention of the couple's name cleared out appointments in the blink of an eye. The couple toured the outskirts of Ritan, but none pleased the couple, so they stretched far and beyond the country. The entire journey took three days of traveling across cities and towns until soon, they found the perfect location.…

Kaden always fulfilled his promises. That included pushing her into as many positions as humanly possible within the span of one night. On her back, on her stomach, on her hands and knees, the list went on. Eventually, each surface of their bedroom was utilized. Kaden had pinned her against the wall, bent her over the couch, and placed her on the floor, until her throat was hoarse from her sweet cries. Only after he had emptied at least a generation of children inside of her and tears filled her eyes…

Sometimes Lina wondered if she was in love with Kaden or if she was in love with what they had. Kaden did everything right. He treated her well, he cared for her, he never called her high maintenance, and did everything expected of him. Sometimes, Lina had a gnawing feeling that something was not right. It was in the way his eyes would flash red like poppies, the sign of a Pure-Blood Vampire. Or, the dark glimmer that flickered on his face when he was displeased by her. Sometimes it was how tightly…

Some were the protagonists of their stories, others were the villains. In the end, they all lived happily never after. Kaden knew this the moment the sun rose. She behaved like nothing was out of the ordinary. Lina was her usual self. He had never breathed such a large sigh of relief. He was glad he had taken the memories of last night. Just, last night. Nothing more. He had to. There was no other way her sanity could be preserved. "Oh my goodness, this tastes divine!" Lina gasped, picking up the…

Lina's eyes snapped open in shock. Her heart felt like it was racing a thousand miles per hour. She was shaky with disbelief. Impossible. "No." Was Lina destined to die by self-sacrifice in every life? She could still feel the cold blade on her throat. She was frightened. She couldn't feel the deep cut, but she still remembered the pain of choking on her own blood. Then, Lina felt the presence beside her. Her head snapped to the side in shock, tears welting. Immediately, she threw herself onto…

"I will not." Instantly, the Emperor rose to his feet. Lina stared at him. She knew this was the last straw. So, she did nothing, but smile. And in front of everyone, the deities, spirits, and everything in between, she lowered onto her knees. Everyone gasped. The sound resonated throughout the throne room. Not a single person dared to look away. Not a single person could fathom the outcome of this. The precious Princess who didn't even kneel when greeting her father, the one who never received…

Earlier in the evening, when dinner had ended, Kaden kissed Lina on the head, and went straight to his private office. Lina didn't know what for, but she was determined to carry her plan through. So, Lina asked Theodore for the master keys to all the rooms, locked everything that had a bed, and then, proceeded to retire for the night. She used the bathroom, brushed her teeth, took a shower, and then, promptly went to bed. The second her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep. A minute later, she was…

If there was something that Kaden learned in his sleep, it was that couches aren't comfortable beds. Even though the couch was like a firm cloud to sit on, to sleep on it was a nightmare. He had tossed and turned all night, grumbling that his own wife had stolen the master keys and locked all the guest rooms. The master of the house slept on the damn couch. "This woman." After dinner, Kaden retired to his office to finish the remainder of the work for the week, so he could accompany her to the…

Kaden ate his food leisurely. He sat there like he was dining in a fine restaurant. With each relaxed bite, he ignored the venomous glare from his wife across the table. He sliced through the perfectly cooked filet mignon. Meanwhile, his wife sliced it like she was envisioning his face. "How's the food?" Kaden asked just to piss her off further. "Would be a lot better if you weren't sitting across from me." Lina stabbed the meat and placed it into her mouth. She could feel the flames of the…
