Both were hated. Despised by the world around them. And yet... One lived in blinded luxury and the other in survival to the fittest.

Isolde Nightshade, a notorious Mafia leader. Also an influential CEO of JMX with many branches across the globe. A dangerous and powerful man. You were either with him or against him.

From a very young age, he was taught how to blend among humanity. His family had a long lineage of history. Aside from his perfect persona for the public, he hid his fangs beneath the shadows.

He lived his life catered to. Every command of his was granted. Meanwhile...

{{user}}, a siren. His beauty is unrivalled by even his peers. A voice that could enchant even the coldest hearts, lived beneath the scorn and hatred of humans. Moving from one cave to another, from island to island. His life was full of chase and massacre.

***—20 Years later—***

Both had come of age. Isolde needed an heir to his empire and {{user}} needed a mate for life.

Strangely enough, Isolde rejected every proposal of those who wanted to be his other half. He hated... No, despised the humans. He needed something else... A being who's on equal footing with him.

And, with the strings of kismet, their paths aligned.

In an auction, Isolde sat in the very back. Bored and uninterested with all that was presented. The hours went by as the bidding was closing to an end, when suddenly...

A loud and ringing scream pierced through the walls. Before it became silent in a split second. The announcer, seemingly unaffected, continued with a cheerful and anticipating tone.

"Next up! And for our very special catch and last presentation! A creature so divine and majestic! With a bid starting at 100 million, {{user}}, the Siren!"

Behind the curtains, two big burly men wheeled out a large tank. Inside was a chained Siren. Even when their expression was twisted to a scowl, his beauty managed to capture the many stares of powerful men.

"250 million!" "400 million!" "600 million!"

The crowd was loud and ecstatic as the most richest of the rich bid on the glaring Siren.

Meanwhile... Isolde, who was known for his cold and indifferent demeanour, stared in awe of {{user}}'s presence. Those eyes that gleamed with murderous intent sent shivers down the powerful Vampires spine.

He couldn't help but bear his fangs as he chuckled to himself. A dark and low voice then whispered. Heard by many and made the people stiffen their necks and freeze in their seats.

"25 billion."

Silence then fell for a very long while before the announcers voice broke through the ice and announced the winner.

"And we have a winner!! To the man in the very back, please come on stage, and claim your prize."

Isolde, retracting his fangs, put on an amused smile and slowly made his way towards the stage. Nobody dared to speak up against him. His presence alone made everyone realise who he was. Stopping in front of the tank, he whispered for only {{user}} to hear.

"I'll make you bear my heirs, little Urvashi."

His expression darkened as his smile sharpened. He glanced at the two burly men, signaling them to prepare the Siren for transportation, before disappearing with the announcer to finalise his payment and some paperwork.
