Frier’s POV

My mouth flew open and when I glanced at Bella she was in the same shocked state as me or maybe even worse. At least I had some heads up in the past. Emily had mentioned that they were getting close, I just didn't know when they kicked off and even ended things!

I noticed that Bella tried to speak but Emily spoke again and this time our shocked expressions morphed into sheer anger.

“He’s getting married soon”

Those words paused my lips and turned my taste bitter. I immediately had a vague understanding of how everything played out. What was I expecting?

A viper like Nicklaus would only keep such friends! The thought of this was unnerving and Bella shared my same pain cause I heard her vent.

“Such an asshole! If I had known earlier I would’ve given him a piece of my mind. He had the guts to look dejected after what he did!”

The atmosphere heated up a bit and I noticed Emily’s eyes dim, clearly this was still a sensitive topic for her so I sought to change the subject.

    Frier’s POVThe room rested in silence as we waited for Emily to fill it up with her voice and although it took longer than expected, she eventually spoke and we paid rapt attention.“To be honest I always found him attractive. Ever since I first saw him at the hospital I really wished something would happen between us and surprisingly it did. After that night at the club he helped me with a favor so I took the opportunity to treat him for dinner. Everything was going fine until…”The room fell back in silence and I had no idea why she trailed off. I was clueless but then I saw a blush creep out and warm her pale cheeks. Whatever she had to say must really be a confession so I stayed quiet and she eventually let the cat out of the bag.“…what about to say sounds crazy and honestly I have no idea why I did it but I did and saying it out loud now is gonna make me sound crazy…”“Its fine. Breathe”Bella cut her off, it was clear that she was rambling and she indeed needed to take a brea

    Frier’s POVA lot of thoughts were running through my mind as I got comfortable in Lucious’ ride but the word ‘comfort’ was far in line. Something more obscure like turbulence and turmoil seemed to reside in my depths and they were for good reasons. It was just me and the driver in the space of the car but I felt suffocated. The feeling of having to return to Harrington residence was unsettling and like a slow burn it was constantly consuming my ability to be rational. I would finally be facing Juliet tonight and with what I know of her she’s definitely a nutcase. It all makes sense now, the terrifying person that Luke couldn’t stand was Juliet. Nicklaus's stepmom and what’s even crazier is that she’s Lucious real mother! Believing she was Nicklaus's actual mom would’ve been way easier or is Lucious just trying hard enough to hide his true self? In any case all of the Harringtons are a real pain and I can’t believe I helped procreate such genes! Luckily Aiden has my composure to i

  • Auctioned to a mafia boss    Chapter 199: let's tie the knot

    Frier’s POVMy gaze rested on her and the little one had no clue of our presence. She was tied up with her meticulous craft of arranging her toys but the plastic shapes had other plans. Its been a while but she still hadn't given up this game. As far as I remember she never got the arrangement right but I had to commend her determination, this never giving up spirit must've been inherited from her parents and I only say this because from the corners of my eyes I noticed Alison’s figure approach but I chose to ignore it.Lucious probably caught on his uninvited guest because next I heard him breath an “excuse me” before disappearing from sight.A small sigh escaped my lips, I didn't want to drag Pearl into this mess but I never expected Lucious to actually inform me about Pearl's existence. It was always a secret to all his associates and flings, this only proves that he's serious about me but from my point of view, bringing Pearl into this would only hurt her twice. “Hi there, you n

    Frier’s POVI didn't have any special thing planned out for his so called parents to I'm just gonna go with the flow and play it by ear. We arrived their presence and as usual Adam was looking sharp in his tailored made attire. Tonight he wasn't on a suit and I wondered if the creative design of his outfit had a meaning linked to his retirement. It had a distinct theme to it. The layers of fabric were formal but not sophisticated, unlike Juliet’s screaming dress. Everything she was embedded in had an intention and it was clearly to feed the eyes of those who cared to envy.If I wasn't informed I'd have thought she was the celebrant for tonight's occasion but then again dressing good was never a crime so who could hold her accountable? ”Good day Mr and Mrs Harrington”With my hand stretched and a delightful smile that had the power to hide the bad blood between us I greeted them while leaning besides Lucious and Pearl. They took my hands respectively and boomed me their signature

    Frier’s POV In that moment his breaths touched my skin and his voice reached my ears my body froze and I became as stiff as a bone. Forget the deadly situation I was in, with Nicklaus behind me how dare I move?! Slowly but steadily I felt my figure retreat into where I thought was a wall but apparently not! It actually led into the main house, how nice…We kept walking and he no longer had his hands on my mouth like a hostage instead he held my wrist and may I just say there was no difference because I still felt like a hostage or worse a captive being dragged for execution. We reached a certain room and he pulled me and ended it with a shut of the door. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, heck! I was in an enclosed place with Nicklaus and there didn’t seem to be any life-form around so of course I was scared silly!“Thank you for helping me, I’ll be off now” I said this and turned around to turn the knob but a hand from behind pressed the door shut again. I was facing the doo

    Frier’s POV He made a point that I couldn’t deny so I broke eye contact in defeat. I already knew what I was signing up for when I decided to come back for Melissa’s revenge. No one else but me knew how hard it was to successfully escape Nicklaus so I certainly knew a second time would be nearly impossible. “I told you before, if you need help ask me but you chose Lucious instead. Do you think I'm gonna just watch my wife get engaged to another man?”I took a deep breath to regain my lost composure. I'm choosing to stick with my act. My mission tonight isn't complete so I can't admit to his claims. “Mr Harrington, I'm not who you think I am so please refrain from such remarks”. As I spoke my hands formed a bridge between us to create an opening for my escape but he caught my wandering hand and pinned it on the desk. His sharp movement garnered a hiss from my lips and as I shot up my glaring eyes to meet his he leaned further and whispered.“Is that so?”The bass of his voice graz

    Frier’s POV The sluttiest thing about this man wasn’t his deep sexy voice or his piercing stare that housed his dark orbs as a residence and had the power to read your mind like a fortune teller, instead, it was his fingers! Yeah right! His long slender rough fingers, those very ones which have touched, felt, and pressed every part of me and that same hand was now tracing my shoulders and leaving goosebumps trails as souvenirs!It’s like I forgot to breathe when he spoke so I ended up looking flustered and blushed red. What the hell was I thinking?! Standing there and letting Nicklaus do what he does best… ’confuse me!’My senses returned, it took a while but it returned! “Back off Mr Harrington, I said I’ll only do something reasonable, remember? So kill whatever sick thoughts you’re having”He replied with a dark chuckle, his body shuddered and his hands on me retreated into his pockets and somehow that posture made him look even more intimidating! Of course, he had no reserva

What am I gonna do with these two pile of stumbling blocks?!They’re seriously driving me insane!“Frieren can you hear me? Open the door”Lucious voice broke my train of thought and my lost eyes once again stared at Nicklaus prying gaze. “Let me go”My voice was calm and a little muffled under his hold but it wasn’t for long because he finally released my cheeks and I couldn’t help but flex my jaw in delight. Without any more words, I circled him and took steps towards the door but I didn’t expect him to grab my hands and halt my movement. “What?” My voice took some pitches higher and Lucious caught on “What’s going on? Open the door”.I kept staring at Nicklaus like prey tryna keep an eye out for a predator. He was capable of anything! I watched the

    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

    Bella’s POVChristmas Eve was going smoothly with Amiee. I cooked while she… well, she played games as usual, now that she got the new video game set from Klaus she even neglected eating! 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
