"Angela, Mr. King, come. The breakfast is ready," Ara sent a soft smile their way as they showed up. The maid pulled chairs for them. Nik nodded in greeting at Ara and Killian who was sitting at the headseat. The table was crowded with kids of different age. Triplets were lined up beside Ara. Hannah and His gaze calculative and keen on Nikaulas. "Hope you didn't face any trouble last night," Ara smiled warmly at Nik. Ginger cupped her mouth to suppress her laughter. "I guess Mom missed your marks or she would be asking you this question," Ginger snickered beside Angela. Angela blushed and quickly adjusted her hair to hide his lovebites. After that, she gave her devilish sister a sideway glance. Nik told Ara that he had a good night and thanked Ara. "More like a wild night. My my..look at these marks...I can bet he is a beast in bed. And so handsome. You are so lucky, Angie. I hope my man will be a beast too. A handsome beast," Ginger added dreamily. Angela first blushed an
Nikaulas got down his car and went straight towards his mansion. His house was once again enlivened by her presence. An impalpable veil of despair had hung in that air when she wasn't here. Now he colud feel her presence in the freshness of air, in the positivity vibrating through his house, on the table where her mug was kept. He had bought this house but she owned it. In search of her, he went to their room but she wasn't there. Nik had brought back her stuff to his room before he had flown to Spain. They were sharing a room now. His brows furrowed in confusion when he couldn't find her. After setting his bag on the table, he exited their room. He stopped a maid passing by and asked about her whereabout. The maid told her she was in the kitchen. He promptly started towards the kitchen in large strides. The urge to see her had overwhelmed him since Leah's appearance. Her words had invoked an unknown fear inside him. A fear that constantly pricked at his insides since Theo's incident
As they rode further, she noticed a bunch of giant trees huddled together in a distance blocking off the view beyond them. Curiosity nipped at the base of her spine. Thankfully, Nik nudged the horse in their direction. She had thought of many possibilities but not what actually was there. The scene looked straight out of some fairy-tale. A stream trickling down the large rocks and falling into a pond just as beautiful. Colorful flowers were floating on the moving surface adding to its beauty. There was a small wooden bridge arching over the pond, connecting the both sides. A herd of swans swimming across the pond. The sweet chirpings of birds echoed. Butterflies were jumping freely from blooms to blooms, each more beautiful than the other. She was never going to forget this beautiful sight. A heaven was set beyond those trees. "How come I didn't know about this place?" she wondered out, her mouth ajar with astonishment. She had been here for two years but never knew a place like thi
No matter how many social events she attended, she always felt awkward and self-conscious. People would never stop shooting glances at her as if she was some alien straight from the moon. She was aware that not all of them were looking down upon her but it still made her feel uncomfortable as she was being singled out because of her disability. More so when she is accompanied by her perfect husband. His striking features and powerful presence kept people looking in their direction. She had seen admiration glimmering in people's eyes for her husband and had seen it changing into pity as soon as their gaze would land on her. Pity for her husband. A man like him didn't deserve to be with a woman bound with wheelchair. They, together, perfectly defined perfection with imperfection. The launching event was attended by many big names. From celebrities to politician everyone was in the presence. Even though Garham was also here, Nickaluas didn't leave Angela's side and stayed beside her. Hi
Daniella drowned the humiliation and pain in alcohol. In her drunken state, she was making out with one of the guests when she caught sight of Angela. She was going towards the bathroom. Throwing the man away, she followed after her. Daniella walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. "What were the odds we will run into each other again," Daniella's voice echoed in the empty bathroom. Angela paused. Daniella stepped around to face her. A venomous smile on her face. She looked drunk out of her mind. "I have a question if you won't mind asking me. It's nagging me for quite some time," Daniella gripped the counter to steady herself. Angela stared at her anticipatedly. " How do you guys fuck?" she bent forward and asked out of the blue. Angela took a moment to register her question. Anger surged through her. "Excuse me?" she asked, flabbergasted. Her cheeks turning crimson both with fury and shame. Daniella conveniently ignored her strong reaction and went on."Ho
He opened his eyes and his features softened when he saw her sobbing silently. He tilted her face up to make her meet his eyes. As a mafia lord he had seen many gruesome sights that will make anyone piss in their pants. He had seen people begging for life and bleeding away, had witnessed heap of dead bodies lying in the sea of their own blood and never felt a thing. But somehow these harmles tears in her eyes....these crystalline beads in her beautiful eyes were inflicting sharp pangs in his heart. They unsettled him. He wiped them again so that she could look at him clearly and figure everything for herself. "Do you know how wanted you are?" he enquired softly, referring back to the time when she had called herself unwanted. She only blinked at him, confused. The look in his eyes told her that he was awaiting an answer. She slowly shook her head. A small smile played on his lips as he leaned down and pecked her lips. "I'll show you," he then murmured against her lips. Not d
Angela felt on cloud nine as she followed the white scattered clouds with her gaze. She was certain she had never felt this happy before not even when the doctor had told her that she can walk one day. Nothing measured up to what she was feeling right now. Her soul was blossoming and her mind was at peace. She quietly savored the warm tingles dancing on her fingers and toes which only his closeness brought her. She turned her head to look at the reason of her happiness.He was lying beside her on his back. His arms folded behind his head and eyes closed against the warm sun. His muscles were relaxed and legs crossed. He looked at ease as if he had nowhere else to be. Seeing him this relaxed made her heart swell in satisfaction. She used the moment to admire her handsome husband. Undeniably handsome. He has a kind of face that makes people turn their head for second look at him and then some more. He must be used to wistful glances and dreamy smiles from women. She had seen women gawki
"What is he doing here?' she asked, confused. "He is our ride for the night," he told her with a smirk."He?" she gaped at the horse in excited shock. Nickaulas set her sideways on the horse and mounted behind her. Angela was still processing everything. His body heat kissed her back before she was pulled flushed to his chest wall. His strong arms locked around her possessively as he nudged the horse into slow trot. Angela didn't know how he came up with this idea but she loved it. It all felt like a fairytale. Much better than her imagination. "A horse?' she tilted her head to see him. He brought his gaze down on her. "You didn't like it?" he asked with a small frown. "I loved it," she replied with a smile. "That's why," he answered, the warmth of his stare penetrating her skin. A wave of happiness swamped over her. He was so thoughtful when he wanted to be. It touched her heart. She could have never guessed such a romantic soul was hiding behind that brooding face. She r
