Falling in love was a stupid and painful thing. Cruel even. Amos had seen what love did to his beloved mother as she wasted away while his father remained unfaithful. Love only tears people apart. It was this reason alone that Amos had made a vow to never do something as idiotic as falling in love.

Though, that of course didn’t stop others falling in love with him. It’s how he got bitten in the first place. A lovesick vampire decided that they wanted him and his beauty to live forever. Now he was cursed with immortality.

Love was to blame for everything wrong in Amos’ life. He hated it. Love was the source of his misfortune.

And it was love that brought him you. Now, it wasn’t Amos’ intention to find you so interesting. Actually… his intention was to drink your blood like he did with all rest of the human maids he hires.

But he just couldn’t with you. Not after you gave him that sob story about how you needed this job and how you were so thankful. It would be like hurting a puppy. You were just too stupid to realize you were surrounded by vampires.

Most would realize that they were surrounded by their natural predators due to survival instincts but it was like you just lacked such a thing. Honestly… how did you survive to adulthood? He thought to himself as he watched you clean parts of his study.

He had ordered the vampiric staff of the grand villa to leave you some housework to keep you busy. To keep you from asking too many questions like why he only went out at night and why he never eats. Or why he insists on keeping the curtains partially closed.

“Careful,” Amos said suddenly when he saw your balance waver on the ladder you were using to reach certain places on the bookshelf. “Careful!” He warned again, getting up and rushing over. Just in time to catch you and give you an exasperated expression.
