Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Alice Ashborn

Vespera's drive soon pulled into their mansion's parking space, and Elizabeth, her servant, opened the door for her with a minor bow.

The Monarch of Shadows then slowly walked up the stairs, took a left, then a right turn in the luxurious hallways adorned by incalculably expensive paintings and sculptures until she was greeted by an out-of-place pink, girly door that was decorated by drawings of flowers and cute animals.

It had a giant 'DO NOT DISTURB!' sign on it.

Vespera took a deep breath to calm herself and prepare to face her.

*Knock knock knock*

She firmly tapped her knuckles on the eccentrically decorated door.

"Leave me alone!" A feminine cry welcomed her gesture with a coarse voice. She had been audibly bawling her eyes out for a long while.

"It's me," Vespera said.

The room's occupant didn't respond for a good ten minutes. The mother stood in place motionlessly as she patiently waited.

"Is it done...?" a soft, barely audible whisper that has lost all its edge asked. Its owner had moved close to the door based on the proximity of her weak voice.

"Yes."

Another silence ensued save for the girl's renewed wailing, but she finally opened the door after a while, revealing a short female that had lush black hair ending in adorable twintails. She rushed out of the door and dashed into Vespera's embrace with a force that would've easily sent a commoner straight to the afterlife upon impact, but the Shadow Monarch didn't even flinch.

The black-haired woman did her best not to show emotions as she began petting Alice's head and hugging her daughter with her other hand.

Alice nestled her head into Vespera's bosom and allowed her mother's jacket to act as her tear-storing tissue since she was crying her heart out at the moment.

"I will never abandon my big brother, no matter if he's legally my brother or not!" Alice decreed a few minutes later once she managed to calm down enough to hold a conversation.

"I know."

"You better disown me too because if any of my so-called 'family members' attempt to hurt Kai even after you went this far, I will murder them in cold blood and burn this cursed mansion down with all of us still in it." Her statement was uttered in the same cold, lifeless tone the public knew Vespera to speak, and there was not even a shred of doubt in the mother's mind that her daughter would do exactly as she promised.
