Bride of the vampire
Chapter fifty six

"It's nice to finally see you miss Ruby, I must say. I had higher expectations but nevertheless, shall we get down to business?". Ruby forced a smile as she shook hands with crystal.

"This way, Mr Damien".

She led them to a light dark corner.

"You can sit there ma'am, while I discuss some business with Mr Damien". Ruby said, frowning.

"No, she will sit here". Damien said, tapping his laps

"Damien." She whispered

"Come here mi reina". He pulled her down on his laps

Ruby rolled her eyes as she sat across them.

"Mr Damien..."

"Before you start to miss Ruby, I hope Carlo already makes you understand that I'm not interested in your proposal". Ruby smiled.

"Time can change Mr Damien. Who knows you might want to in the future".

"So about the landscape business, I was thinking....."

They both started discussing business with crystal still on Damien's lap.

She was feeling bored from having no idea of what they were discussing.

She tried to pay attention to their discussions but it was of no use.

She suddenly thought of an evil idea. She smirks playfully. And started grinding her waist slowly on damien.

"Since you're a lady, we will do 50-50". Damien groaned at the end of the sentence as he glared as crystal. He sucked in a sharp breath trying to calm himself down. Who pretended she had no idea of what she just did.

Since the room wasn't that bright, Ruby couldn't see what crystal was up to.

"Amore, what are you doing?". Damien whispered.

"I'm bored already".

"Miss Ruby, since we will still be here for two days, why don't we continue tomorrow at the office?". He said, standing up.

"Sure, Mr Damien. It was a pleasure meeting you". She offered him a handshake.

"As you can see my hands are occupied". He said, putting his hands on Crystal's body.

Ruby frowned in embarrassment as she slowly put down her hands and walked away.

"Back to you Tesoro, you wanna continue what you started?".

"And what is that?". She flirted, biting her lips as she pulled him closer by the suit. Damien smirk.

"So this is how you wanna play it?".

Max stood at the table, sipping his cocktail until he noticed a shadow in the dark. "Adrian?". He whispered.

He stood up and slowly followed him quietly.

As Max followed him into the dark, he felt his heart start to pound in his chest. He wasn't sure why Adrian was here. He clearly wasn't into the mafia business. but he knew that something was off. The room seemed to grow darker and thicker as he followed him, and he had a feeling that he was getting closer to something he wasn't supposed to see. He swallowed hard, his hands shaking slightly as he continued to follow Adrian. Then, suddenly, he stopped and turned around. Max froze, his breath caught in his throat. He hurriedly hid behind the door. When he noticed it was silent again he came out and started searching for him.

He noticed a door and entered, only to find Adrian kissing Aiden against the wall.

His heart shattered into millions of pieces.

"Not again please". He whispered

"Aiden". His voice came out shattered and painful.

They quickly disengage.

"Max". Aiden's voice pleaded.

Max took in a deep breath and lowered his head trying to prevent his tears from falling.

"What are you doing here?". He chuckled.

"Oh you mean what are we doing here?". Adrian wink, locking hands with Aiden.

"Well Aiden was invited and he couldn't come alone. So he brought me along with him to accompany him". Adrian smirk.

"Aiden". Max called, giving him the chance to deny what his so-called mate said.

"Max, I-I". He stuttered.

Adrian smirk, his plan worked. He has seen Max when he came in with Aiden earlier, even when Max wasn't there, Aiden has refused to touch or come close to him. He had purposely lured Max here, and forced himself on Aiden. If he can't have his own mate then no one will have him.

"I tried to you, I swear I did. I came here to see you. I knew Damien was going to be here and I- he- I thought....." Aiden stammered, trying to put some words together.

His eyes were literally begging Max to believe him.

"I did bring him here but please believe me I didn't kiss him, I was.... Please max”.

Max nodded and turn to leave

"Please don't leave me again max❞.

He ran to him, holding his hands as he knelt in front of him.

"I just can't survive without you. I missed you every fucking day, every hour, every minute and every second. Please. One more chance max. I promise I won't mess up again and I will always tell you everything".

"I will even reject Adrian if you want me to". He added

Adrian stared at him in shock.

"Aiden..."

"Max please. I will do anything you want". His voice pleaded.

Max's mind was racing as he looked at Aiden on his knees.

"Come on get up". He said, lifting Aiden up.

He pulled him into a hug.

"I believe you". He said

Aiden hugged him tighter as he inhaled his smell deeply.

"Thank you, thank you so much max❞. He whispered.

Adrian stared at them angrily, as he slowly bought out a silver knife from his pocket. It was a small blade knife with his edge deadly sharpened. He held it tightly in his hand as he charged at max. "ONE WRONG MOVE FROM YOU AND A BULLET WILL PASS THROUGH YOUR HEAD". Someone said, placing a Gun on Adrian's head.
