“Are you gonna attend the party?”

Klaus voice hit Nicklaus in his zoned out mind. A small breath escaped his lips as he responded.

“It’s not like I have a choice. We’ll make it quick”

Honestly Klaus wasn’t any different, he dearly wished he could skip the event too. His date was Mia and that to him was enough reason not to attend but it was an official request so not attending would send a wrong message.

With Nicklaus back still turned to him he said “what’s your plan? The detained perpetrator was killed by Juliet which means there’s no more witness”

“I know what it means” Nicklaus sharply remarked. It could be said that he was in a fowl mood tonight.

“Are you really okay?” Silence was met with his words and Klaus being himself didn’t know when to stop.

“You ended the search for her so suddenly, what’s your plan. It’s unlike you to give up, is there really no other reason for your decision?”

Silence reigned again and just when Klaus was about to walk out of his office Nicklaus

    Frier’s POV I followed the path I was directed to and it led me to a secluded area that had many doors. Between the corridors I saw Damien standing outside one of them and that’s where I halted my steps. The door before us was slightly ajar and I could hear Anna’s voice feign ignorance to the questioning. The urge to go in took the best of my judgement but Damien’s hands withheld my arm.“Don’t” His calm tone seemed to make me fight it out and I let out a breath of frustration. It wasn’t like we were going to kill her, I just wanted nothing more that to twist her neck with a slap!I must be in the spirit of handing out slaps tonight. The thought of this jogged my conversation with Nicklaus and I contemplated telling Damien. After a brief moment of thinking, I didn’t tell him, not that my telling him would’ve made much difference. What’s done is done and there was nothing he could do about it so it’s best not to bring it up. Right now, let’s focus on the matter at hand!Getti

    Frier’s POVI’m pretty sure he wasn’t expecting expecting such a response. Seeing as his expression instantly shifted and he blurted “how’d you know?” I could tell he regretted asking but it was already out there. He walked right into the trap I had set and now it’s time to play the ultimate card!While staring at him I casually said “Earlier I was approached by your brother for the same reason but it’s fine, I’ll take off my mask”From the corners of my eyes I saw Lucious scan the room and landed his gaze on Nicklaus and as expected Nicklaus was staring at us with great intensity. There’s no better way to h Lucious interested than bringing up Nicklaus. Maybe it’s a childhood trauma response, I didn’t know but it sure works on him. Lucious stared back at me and I was already loosening the ribbon of my mask. He suddenly held my hands to stop me.“Wait, don’t”I acted ignorant and said “why? Aren’t you curious?”He released my hands and tried to act as cool as a cucumber but I saw t

    Bella’s POV It’s safe to say the dance was a disaster. With Louis lips bruised from Klaus punch, both grown ass men held themselves by the collar in such a dignified gathering. If they weren’t ashamed, I was! Klaus parents were around and that’s enough guilt for tonight! I had even talked with them earlier, they seemed nice and accommodating but sadly only I knew the reason why they suddenly decided to calm their nerves with me. “Stop it!” I angrily roared some sense into them as I motioned “let’s get some fresh air” I knew they had a lot to say, even if no one did Klaus definitely had a lot to shout about. I’ve been ignoring him for months and suddenly I appear in gatherings with Louis. This wasn’t the first but it’s unfortunately the first we both attended. It couldn’t be helped anyways. I knew this would happen sooner or later and I’m prepared to lay it out with Klaus tonight. I didn’t know where Mia went but when we got out she was no where in sight. It was just the three o

    Watching them bring her down successfully brought great relief to Bella’s beating heart. With the way she kept calling out her name, if anything tragic has happened she’d have surely be blamed for it. The series of events that played out tonight gave her a headache. Just thinking about it brought about formed a snowball of uneasiness in her hearts. Deep down she knew she’d have a nightmare tonight and the nightmare would probably be a scene of Mia falling to her death and blaming her as she falls. Indeed it sounded ridiculous but that was how shook she was. She knew people did drastic things for love but this was her first time experiencing it first hand! It was outrageous!When the show ended with Mia touched ground in whole, the crowd dispersed and she was carried away for a checkup while Bella didn’t hesitate to follow Louis. She didn’t even want to glance at Klaus. As far as she was concerned the conversation they were having was over. Thinking about Mia’s fruitless display m

    Frier’s POVA few days ran by and it was the date for my dinner with Lucious. I didn’t have any special thing planned for today. To be honest I wasn’t even excited. It was the weekend so Jane wasn’t around but I made a special request for her to come over in the evening. Apparently her parents resides here in this city. She was applying to become a maid at the palace when Damien intercepted her file. I’d say this is a rather lucky win. She’s paid same salary with the maids at the palace. Of course the pay is high but there’s work to be done, unlike here where it’s strictly babysitting. There’re maids here for the cleaning and a chef for preparing meals. Everything’s in order and all I have to do is just live. The life of a royal is truly divine. I was never a fan of cooking so I’m definitely loving the chef aspect. All my favorite food is prepared when I need it and I don’t even have to lift a finger. This is truly paradise, it’s just that I can’t live here forever. I’m gonna r

    Bella’s POV After my long awaited video call with Arya I felt energized for the day. Seeing Aiden look so healthy warmed my heart. I’m so glad things turned out like this but right now I had my plate full enough to feed a nation. Louis invited his parents to M country and a welcoming party is going to be thrown. There’s nothing strange about a welcoming party except for the fact that he was planning to formally introduce me to his parents. According to him they were well aware of his search for me over the years, they also know I’m the reason why he came here. Just thinking about the expectations made me crazy nervous, my experiences with parents hasn’t been a record to look back on. Sometimes I couldn’t help wondering if I’m the problem!Maybe I could say my parents never wanted kids from the start and I was purely a mistake that refused to be aborted even after their tries and maybe I could also blame the issue with Klaus parents on the betrothal contract that only described ou

    Bella’s POV Naturally Klaus took a seat beside Mia and that seat happened to be directly opposite me which also meant Mia sat facing Louis and earlier I thought I was tripping but it turns out I wasn’t.She’s been stealing glances at Louis since we arrived and I didn’t know what to make of this.Wasn’t she obsessed with marrying Klaus why does her gaze towards Louis appear somewhat longing or am I imagining things?Mia being the social animal that she was forked up a piece of side dish that I haven’t even seen in my life and placed it on Louis mother’s plate. “Try this pair, it’s really good” She bloomed a smile that no one found awkward but I knew something was off. Isn’t she supposed to give that to Klaus mom? She’s been relentless about entering their family, now what?“Is that so?” Louis mom said with a full smile and tried out the combo. “You’re right, it is good”My gaze moved to the satisfied smile on Mia’s face and I only got more confused.

    Bella’s POV My brain wasn’t functioning at this point. Mia’s words hit harder than a freaking time bomb! No one was left out of the shock waves passing through the quiet dinning. Klaus mom was the first to react. “What’d you just say?”The news had caused both parents to stand and I felt Louis grip on my wrist loosen. He looked more dejected than any of us as he walked up to Mia. Surprisingly she didn’t have an ounce of regret or guilt laced in her gaze, if anything she looked pleased to announce the news.So this was why she did it? She released the contract of me and Klaus to make Louis parents hate me, so she’d have a better chance of being accepted by them!“What’re you talking about? Pregnant for me, how?”looking at him question her was like watching a soap opera. A reality drama with a view better than a 5D display. “I’m sorry I had to tell you like this but it’s the truth. I’m pregnant for you Louis”“What nonsense is that?!”Suddenly I wasn’t the center of attraction

    Arya’s hands moved to clasp her lips, what she held was both shocking and surprising. Her gaze couldn’t help darting at Nicklaus’s peaceful face. Ever since the incident, she was inclined to bring up Aiden but she couldn’t muster the courage and avoided the topics like the plague. She’d often help him dress his wound while he slept on the drugs and when he was awake she was gone, leaving the maids to prepare and deliver the meals.This was about the time when she usually dressed his wound but something else stole her attention. In her hands were photos of her and Aiden, they were taken when she lived with Aiden, it appeared to be dated back to that day at the hospital. The pictures were only taken from one location. ‘The balcony’It must’ve been taken by a drone or something of that kind, her thoughts were in shambles, he knew about Aiden since?But why didn’t he do anything? Nothing made sense to her anymore. Hours passed after this discovery and Arya stayed seated in his r

    Arya's POVTechnically everyone here presence was closer to him than his supposed family. I can’t help but think I misjudged him when he said he had no family.Now I know he meant it, no one deserves to grow up in such conditions. With my fingers crossed I perched my ears to listen to the doctor’s announcement.“The surgery was a success. He didn't faint from excessive loss of blood but instead, exhaustion. He’ll be moved shortly, you'll be able to see him then but it'll take a while before he wakes up. His insomnia prevents him from sleeping so we induced him with something strong…”Nicklaus has insomnia? I never knew that, he always slept when we were together. “…Whoever is by his side when he wakes up should call the attention of a doctor. We can only verify his stability when he regains consciousness”.With that, the doctor left and I forgot how to move my feet, when I did remember, the first person I met was Klaus. “Nicklaus has insomnia?”I was staring at him for an answ

    “Please…I beg you, I can’t do anything else but this, I’ll find a way to repay you, I promise… Just please spare Aiden”What sounded like a hysterical laugh ended with a scorn from Jane.“Does that mean you’re choosing to pay with your life?… Don’t you get it? There’s no point begging. Juliet had to die because I knew she was in on it, even though she lied and pretended to be a saint, even when she made me take months of gun training, and even when she placed me instead of the real Jane to be Aiden's nanny. She claimed she did all that for my revenge but I knew, I've always known I'd kill her for what she did! So, you see… everyone involved dies, only then would it be fair!”Melissa seemed to have recovered from the shock and shouted.“Let me die instead, please!”“No!” Arya screamed with uncontrollable pain. “I would never let that happen! This has nothing to do with you-”“Shut your mouth, how can a mother be alive when her daughter dies? I’d hang myself if that should happen, I’

    “Nicklaus…drop your gun”Arya’s voice cracked but it was audible enough. Her eyes on the other hand were no longer sharp and full of life. It looked like a drawing with no emotions.Just desperation clouded her mind, she was at that point where selling her soul to the devil didn’t sound like a bad idea. Anything would do to get through this nightmare, “Please, just listen to me!” She screamed out in pain, her breathing was haggard and slowly Nicklaus lowered his hands and tossed his gun aside.“Very good, I knew you’d be useful in taming this beast. Now, hand over the ledger”All eyes rested on Nicklaus right now, amongst those eyes were Arya’s shocked gaze. Was she referring to the same ledger that got Luke killed? A shudder ran through her spine, she knew it was very important to Nicklaus, what if he doesn’t give it up and Aiden ends up paying with his life? After all, she hid him from Nicklaus all this while.What if he resents her for it and as retribution he lets Aiden,

    As expected the night was torture for Arya, she didn't dare lie down, afraid of what she'd see in her dreams tonight. Luke had sent a driver to retrieve Arya’s car so she held her phone while staring at the stars from the balcony. The chair she sat on still had Aiden’s scent and she couldn’t stop crying. How can what felt like heaven a few hours ago suddenly become hell?Such is the pain of longing, It casts a vague appearance in the memories and leaves behind fragments of pieces that end up becoming history. With time they start to feel warm in the heart, no longer the cold of the void space left behind but even the warmth is just the heart’s coping mechanism, nothing can truly replace the missing piece.Above all, it’s the guilt that eats deep into the heart that does the most damage, maybe if things were different seeing a brighter light would be possible sooner than later but that’s never the case.And that’s definitely not the case here!Arya clenched her chest tighter,

    The tension in the room immediately tightened, Lucious’s focus was now on Arya. Juliet’s words seemed to do the trick and he began his questioning.“Is this true?…”Of course, his question was met with no reply, of all the times Arya would be in the right state of mind to answer that, right now was definitely not the freaking time!“Are you going to keep avoiding me even if I’m right here? I saw the news and wanted to check in with you but you never answered the phone. So it really was you, Arya”His tone had a tinge of sadness lurking underneath its solemn feel but Arya heard none of this, in fact, she hadn’t spared Lucious a glance the entire time, her gaze remained fixed on Juliet.“I’ve brought the documents, hand over Aiden or there will be serious consequences!” The shakiness of her voice came from her boiling anger, she was so mad it felt like she would explode in rage but Juliet kept adding fuel to fire!“I didn’t know you had hearing impairments… Come tomorrow at noon to

    “HAPPY NEW YEAR!”“POW! POW!”Fire works graced the sky of the Smith’s residence, the atmosphere was bright and bubbly as were the hearts of everyone present witnessing the glorious scenes of colorful Fireworks bursting open in the sky.“Look Aiden, do you like it?”Arya voiced to the cheerful little man who was swinging his hands with great excitement. Luke and Melissa stood together while Arya stood some distance away with Aiden in her arms and all other members of the household including Jane went back inside to prepare the elaborate meal and Aiden’s necessary arrangements. It was twelve midnight, marking the dawn of a new day, and in this case a new year! So of course Aiden won’t be joining the fun. Jane took him to his cot while Arya, Melissa and Luke had a splendid time at the dining. A completely joyous family was all she ever asked for, it seemed impossible from the start and even the only one she had was taken away but life wasn’t so cruel afterward. It found a way t

    Without a word Klaus grabbed Bella’s hand and led her outside. She couldn’t help but think, wasn’t she the one who came to drag him out? How did she end up being dragged instead?He released her hands in front of his car and ruffled his wet hair against the cold air. “Aren’t you cold? Why did you get soaked?”She asked out of sheer concern but deep down she wasn’t complaining about the view he was feeding her lustful mind. It wasn’t bad enough his shirt stuck to him like tissue but a few buttons were undone to reveal his protruding chest. No straight woman could remain a nun when faced with this temptation yet she tried to peel her eyes off and focus it on his face but his face wasn’t any better!The base of his hair was turning black and because it was wet it appeared darker with the blonde tips that dripped off stray water droplets. “I’m fine, I needed to wash off the tipsiness”.“A-alright…” she stammered and it finally dawned on her, just how flushed she was at the though

Not if I can help it though, she certainly wouldn’t starve on my watch. There were medications to be taken so not skipping meals was as important as breathing.“Amiee! Food is served!”“Coming!”That’s the third time this evening, I matched over and held her favorite stuffed animal.“Come eat or I’ll feed Ms Pears some food”“You can’t do that, you ruin her fur!”At last, something finally got her attention off the screen. It’s cliche that a teenager is still hung up by a stuffed toy but who am I to judge? As long as Ms Pears can get the Job done, she’s welcomed to stay.“The choice is yours, choose wisely”“Fine! Leave Ms Pears out of this”She stood up and abandoned her gaming machine. This made me wonder, just how important was Ms Pears to her.Would I be ranked lower than a stuffed animal
