Revenge of the Hideous Lady by Moonlight

"What about our marriage? Did Grandpa ask you to marry me because of my blood?" Xyla Quest got straight to the point.

"Yes..." Stanley Batton replied truthfully, after which he took a puff at the cigarette.

His curt answer made Xyla's heart skip a beat.

Xyla subconsciously took a deep breath before continuing, "Is that why you tried to approach me using every possible means in the first place? Are you nice to me because of my blood? You want to keep me by your side as your blood supplier, am I right?"

Stanley frowned slightly. The puzzlement in his eyes gradually intensified. "What? Who the hell told you this kind of nonsense? How can you believe such a thing about me?"

Xyla kept a straight face the entire time. "You don't have to know who told me that. I'm asking you right now. Answer me. Yes or no?"

Irritated by Xyla's accusation, Stanley grumpily puffed at the cigarette a couple of times and threw it out of the car window. He then turned Xyla's body to him, his hands on her shoulders. "Look me in the eye, Xyla..."

Xyla lifted her head warily, anticipation and apprehension stirring within her.
