Fates entangled: Tied by a red string, Linked by Blood

He was born different, and he did not want the throne. But sometimes, life is all about fate, and inevitability. Or a grandpa whose schemes seem to extend beyond his grave. . . . Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half should she share the misfortune that seems to plague his life, right? Only then would he care enough, right? So… “Gramps– Old man, you have screwed me over.” “Of course not.” “But–” “No but. You are my favorite grandson, how can I bear to do that? I only want what is the best for you.” “You tied me to the woman who broke into my house, tied me to a chair, and tried to torture me! And you say that is the best for me?” “Oh, don't overdramatize things, grandson. We both know you just played along.” “...” “Anyway, the red string has already been tied. There is nothing that can be done anymore.” “Gramps–” “Shuuut, go away. I’m already dead, stop bothering me.” “Gramps–” “There, there… Go, fate is waiting for you.” “Let it be damned, I don't care!!!” “Hehehe… You will come to thank me later.” "ARGHHHHH!!! DAMN YOU, OLD MAN!!!” _ _ _ _ _ _ There are many ways to arrange a marriage, and there are many ways for elders to control rebellious juniors. Alex doesn't want to get engaged? It doesn't matter. Tie his fate together with Sharon's, and throw them into a situation where they can't go their own separate ways. He doesn't want to be a good blood-drinker nor fight to change his own fate? Nothing can motivate better than love. His past scars? They can be erased. His empty heart? It can be filled. His smirking mask? It can be cracked. He just needs the right person, and it is her. It all starts with her breaking into his apartment, knocking him out, and tying him to a chair. Yes, it is as simple as that.
