Vampire Lover novel Chapter 3

The next morning.

The shrill ringing of an alarm clock rang in the cozy bedroom. Avril struggled to emerge from her comfortable blankets. With her bleary eyes, she looked towards the window. The dazzling rays of morning sunlight were pouring into her room, penetrating through the pale golden curtains. She had to blink her beautiful eyes until she got used to it.-

"Did I get burnt out from work lately?"

Why couldn't she recall how she got home last night?

Avril reached for her phone to turn off the alarm. When she saw the words "Marriage" on the screen, she was first mildly astonished. Then, her lips curved into a sweet smile.

It had almost slipped her mind. She was supposed to get married to her fiance, Jack Normandy, at the registry today!

She felt a spark of delight. She got up from the bed and went to wash up in the bathroom. She put on some makeup, picked out a long white dress, and made a happy twirl in front of her mirror. She was going to be Jack's wife very soon! It was a long-awaited moment for her.

As she left the house, she called Jack a few times. He didn't pick up her calls.

"What's going on?" Avril was a little shocked. Didn't he promise to pick her up at 9:30 a.m. today?

"Did something go wrong?"

Avril started panicking after a long wait on the street.

"Jack, you must be well and safe!" murmured her.

She quickly hailed a taxi and rushed to Jack's place.

Jack lived in a historic little house with a vintage air about it. Outside, there was a small yard that looked a little dilapidated because of the scattered leaves brought by the autumn winds. Avril stood at the entrance, and she rang the doorbell. Upon her face, there was an unmasked look of worry.

Jack's car was still parked in the yard. Why didn't he pick her up on time? Why didn't he answer her calls?

At this moment, countless terrifying scenes were flashing in her mind.

"Creak..." The old wooden door swung open. A woman in a skimpy nightdress leaned against the door. Her curly blonde hair looked messy, and her chest was covered with red marks. Those were clearly signs from a romantic tryst earlier.

"Angie?" Avril exclaimed.

Her eyes widened in shock. Avril was in disbelief. Why was her best friend here, at her fiance's house?

What's more, she was dressed so skimpily! It was a spaghetti-strapped silky nightdress.

Could it be, that Angie and Jack...

"No, it can't be! Angie must have something she needed Jack's help for! Hence, she came here.

Coincidentally, I met her here!" Avril thought in a frenzy.

"Angie, who is it?" Jack's voice came from inside the house. It sounded a little hoarse.
