Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

[ Golden City District Hospital… ]

Marceline and Kira visited her Uncle who was still unconscious. Ronan had undergone a major surgery. He had several fractures all over his body. His legs were also injured as they got stuck during the collision. They didn't know if he could still walk after this.

Natasha also heard the news about what happened to her father. She immediately rushed to the hospital. Though she was upset with him for slapping her and sending her mother to prison, Natasha was still worried about her father.

When Natasha saw her father's condition, she fainted. She was not able to handle the unpleasant things that happened to their family.

Enrique accompanied her to the private ward where the nurses brought the unconscious Natasha. Marceline volunteered to watch Ronan for a while. Kira joined her as he had a reason for seeing Ronan.

"Let me read his memories so that we will know what happened before the accident." Kira moved closer to Ronan. Marceline just nodded her head, allowing Kira to do what he wanted.

A few minutes later, Kira found out that Ronan confronted Cedric Morgan. They argued in the Triple W Headquarters before the accident happened. Ronan broke their alliance after knowing the truth.

Kira shared all of this with Marceline. She was surprised to learn this. She didn't expect that Ronan would stand up for his family. Though he was greedy, in the end, he still gave importance to his family.

However it was too late since no matter how much he regretted everything, he couldn't bring Marceline's parents back and he couldn't heal his father. He was now in this predicament. This served as his Karma.

Marceline's hatred towards her Uncle lessened when she saw how her Uncle cried and kneeled in front of her parents' graves while apologizing repeatedly. Kira showed her those memories.

It did not take long when Enrique came back.

"Thank you for watching over my father." Enrique smiled at Marceline faintly, his expression looking so tired and sad.

"It's fine. You stay here now and I will process the transfer of our grandpa to the VIP room." When Marceline mentioned Grandpa Roland, the entire room was engulfed by silence. They could only hope for a miracle. They still couldn't believe that their grandpa ended up like this.

Several seconds later, Marceline said goodbye to Enrique, pulling Kira with her. Kira helped her in processing the transfer of Grandpa Roland to the VIP room. The room was located on the top floor of the hospital.

Kira didn't tell Marceline about the news of Evelyn's escape. He waited for her to finish the necessary things related to Grandpa Roland before telling her the bad news.

Marceline also chose the nurse who would monitor Grandpa Roland while they were not around. She would never give up on him. Marceline was considering Raizel's proposal. She hadn't discussed this yet with Kira. She had so many things in mind right now.

After half an hour, Marceline was able to fix and organize everything. Grandpa Roland was now transferred to the VIP room with two assigned nurses that would rotate in monitoring Grandpa Roland.

"Let's go home first. You have to rest." Kira urged Marceline to go home.

But Marceline refused to go home. She didn't like to go home as she would just feel lonely and empty. She would be reminded of those times she was not with her grandfather.

She knew that her grandfather was always looking forward to being with her, spending quality time with her. But she took it away from him as she distanced herself from the Zhou Family including her grandfather.

"Let's go somewhere…" Marceline said to Kira without telling him where they were going.

Kira just followed her, not asking her any questions. To his surprise, Marceline decided to go to a famous resto bar in Golden City–The Sparkle Bar!

"I want to unwind and forget my worries even just for a while," Marceline mumbled, before pulling Kira inside.

Kira could only sigh helplessly. 'She wants to get drunk tonight?'

Marceline continued to drag his hand until they reached the bar counter. She chose to sit in the corner to isolate herself from the other customers. Kira joined her and sat next to her, shielding her away from other's views, most especially men!

Marceline ordered Tequila and she planned on getting drunk fast. Kira, who didn't know Marceline's alcohol tolerance, allowed her to drink to her heart's content. He would just stay there like a bodyguard.

"What happened this afternoon? It took you so long before you came back to the hospital? Where did you go?" Marceline started to ask Kira about his movement.

"I visited the area where the accident happened. Then I received a call from the Chief of the Golden City Police Department. Evelyn escaped along with the high-profile prisoner. They couldn't trace them. I also came late. I'm sorry, My Lady." Kira apologized to her.

Marceline just heaved a deep sigh before drinking the tequila which was freshly served by the bartender. She finished it in one gulp. Then she asked for another serving.

"Don't apologize. It's not your fault. We can just hunt her and once I catch her, she will never escape from my grasp again."

Marceline was confident that she would be able to catch Evelyn. She would search for her non-stop but for now, she wanted to forget all these troubles by drowning herself in alcohol.

Kira just smiled at her, caressing her face. "Yeah, so true. We will find her and make her pay for her crime."

Marceline bobbed her head and offered him a drink. "You want some?"

Upon hearing that, Kira's eyes moved from the glass of Tequila to Marceline's face. Then his gaze settled on her lips. He could see the moisture of her drinks, glistening on her lips.

Not able to control himself, Kira leaned over as he lifted her chin. Kira licked her tequila-moistened lips with his tongue. He was like painting the roof of her mouth with the tip of his tongue.

Marceline was caught off guard for a moment. Amusement flickered in her eyes that were staring at Kira. Her heart began to race because of the wonderful sensation brought by his tongue.

Reflexively, she parted her lips, inviting Kira to play inside her mouth. She was waiting for him to give her a full-mouth kiss. But Kira continued to tease her by toying her lips with the tip of his tongue, not allowing their lips to touch each other.

Feeling impatient, Marceline raised her hands to capture his face. Kira chuckled cheerfully because of her cute reaction. Seconds later, Kira's laughter was interrupted as Marceline already crushed her lips against his lips.

Her kiss was overpowering and passionate, moving her tongue over his with rough but teasing thrusts. Kira could only match her aggressiveness with the same intensity, smothering her lips with demanding mastery.

The two didn't mind the people around them as they continued kissing each other hungrily. It seemed that Kira's kiss was more effective than the alcohol in making her forget her troubles and concerns.

Kira, who already sensed the several pairs of eyes looking at them, held her waist as he broke the kiss for a moment.

Keeping his eyes fixed on her, Kira asked her, "Do you want to stay here and drink all night or come with me somewhere else and let's kiss all night?" The corner of Kira's lips tugged upward into a cheeky smile. He was teasing her and at the same time, being serious about his offer.

Marceline also smiled playfully and responded, "I chose the latter!" After saying that, Marceline picked some cash inside her pocket and put it on the bar counter. "Keep the change."

The bartender could only nod his head. In one swift move, Kira and Marceline disappeared from his sight as they dashed out of the resto bar.

Upon getting out of the bar, Kira asked her another question with choices. "What ride do you want– the car or my arms?"

Marceline let out a soft giggle before pointing her forefinger at Kira's chest. It only meant she was choosing his arms.

"Carry me!" Marceline commanded him.

Kira happily complied with her request. He carried her in a bridal style and used his vampiric speed, traversing the Golden City in the middle of the night. They didn't have a clear destination in mind.

A few minutes had passed when Kira suddenly stopped. Marceline roamed her eyes at their surroundings only to find out they were currently on the rooftop of the tallest building in the Golden City– the Imperial Building!

Kira put her down, letting her see the overlooking view of the Golden City at night. The wind tossed her hair so Kira tied it up while Marceline was enjoying the scenic view of the city lights.

Soon, Marceline felt Kira's hands encircling her waist as he hugged her from behind. Then he rested his chin over her shoulder as they both observed the overlooking view of the city.

"I'll help you forget your troubles…" Kira whispered in her ear sweetly, planting a soft kiss on her neck and shoulder. "Do you like it here?"

Marceline bobbed her head, a subtle smile etching from the corners of her lips.

"I love it… but you said 'kiss all night?' Where is it?" She said jokingly.

Kira let out a husky laugh and said, "Still impatient, My Lady."

Without further ado, Kira turned her around to face him. Then he leaned over, pulling her head closer to his. He sealed her lips in savage conquest!
