Fate's Gift

Abstract

After the accident, I forgot about Dominic and took in a destitute vampire. That vampire had a gentle temperament. As long as he was by my side, things like feeding him blood and keeping him company never required me to take the initiative. Friends in aristocratic circles would just smile when they saw us. "Isabelle, have your fun, but don't take it too seriously." I propped my chin on my hand, thought it over, and answered honestly. "I am serious. I love Sebastian very much. I'm planning to get engaged to him." Everyone's expressions stiffened slightly. That night, someone drove through the night from the Scottish Highlands, knocking on Ashford Manor's door in the pouring rain— It was Dominic Grey, whom I hadn't seen in seven years and who had never called me once.
