It was 11 PM.
The wind howled fiercely, and lightning tore across the sky.
In the middle of the mountains stood a dark, ancient castle… hidden from the world, as if it didn't belong to it.
Meera tightened her grip on her scarf.
"Is this place… really safe?" she whispered to herself.
She had only come here for one reason—
a job.
A simple job as a nanny.
But she had no idea… this job was about to change her life forever.
The giant door opened with a slow creeeeak…
on its own.
Meera froze.
"H-hello… is anyone here?"
Silence.
Then suddenly—
👣 Footsteps echoed through the hall.
A tall man dressed in black slowly emerged from the shadows.
His eyes… deep red.
His face… cold and emotionless.
His presence… terrifying.
👑 He was King Arvian.
"You… are the nanny?" his deep voice cut through the silence.
Meera swallowed her fear and nodded.
"Yes… I'm Meera."
Arvian stepped closer…
so close that his cold breath brushed against her skin.
For a moment—
his gaze fixed on her heartbeat.
💔 Thump… Thump… Thump…
He could hear it.
He could feel it.
And for the first time in centuries…
his control wavered.
But suddenly—
He stepped back.
"The rules here are simple," he said coldly.
"You will take care of the child… and you will not question what you see."
Meera frowned slightly.
"The child… where is he?"
Arvian pointed upstairs.
"In that room."
Then his voice turned darker—
"And remember…
never open the door after midnight."
Meera slowly climbed the stairs.
Each step made her heart race faster.
She reached the room…
and gently pushed the door open.
What she saw—
😨 A small child sitting quietly…
with eyes just as red as the king's.
Downstairs, Arvian stood in the shadows… watching.
A faint, mysterious smile appeared on his lips.
"Welcome to my world… Meera."
TWIST🔥
Meera finally understood—
This was not a normal job.
And she was not living with a normal man.
