"Leah Raeh Muller," she enunciated without moving her gaze from the ceiling, breaking him from his trance. Nikaulas, for the first time, found himself togue-tied. "I had always wondered who this Raeh is. This name was ingraved into my head ever since you.....," she paused and then lowered her eyes to meet his. "I wondered what does she have that I don't? What made you love her so hard? I wanted to know why you can't get over her even after everything and give us a chance?" her voice held no bitterness just pure cruel longing for this man who could not be his. He found no accusation, no resentment only sad yearning.There was only one question behind her every questions. Why can't he love her? What would she have to do to make him love her? Angela felt no bitterness for Leah either. It was not her who came between them. It was Angela who came between them.Her lips stretched into a weak smile and a tear tumbled down her eyes. "I can see why you fell for her. She is stunningly be
Nikaulas returned home to an empty hall. The sofa she used to sit on was without any trace of her. She wasn't there waiting like she always did. It shouldn't have affected him but it did. Ignoring the prickling disappointment, he climbed up the stairs.Two days went like this. He watched Angela from afar. She was laughing, smiling, talking to others like her usual self. It was difficult to reconcile her with the woman who had seemed so broken that night. But now he had learned to see through her facade. The woman occasionally smiled at him too but now her eyes didn't glitter with hopeless affection as they used to before that fateful night. It was then he realised how used to he had become to her special smile that she had only for him. For the first time, he was without a plan. He didn't know what to do next. She had offered to divorce him on her expense then why did he not take it? He should have been happy but instead he was caught by a sinking feeling. He was gritting his teeth
She pressed her eyes close at the feel of his thick icy fingers curling around her ankles. His touch felt like a wisp of wintry air in a chilly night. Unwelcoming but so powerful. His grip was firm and strong around her slender legs as he bent them up, sending her simple nightgown to her hips. With a gentle and steady force, he spread her legs wide. Tonight, she didn't put on make up or donned a pretty dress for him. She looked just the way she felt. A mess. Angela swallowed when a gush of cold air hit her bare core. She had already taken off her panties to save him efforts. She felt him shuffling closer until the sound of him unzipping his pants tore through the air. Not a second later, his large hands clutched her thighs to pull her hips towards him and then she felt the head of his cock pressed against her core. Her breathing deepened. The man she was in love with was going to claim her but it gave her no joy, not even remotely. What she felt was an ache in her heart because
Nikaulas chased her through the clouds of mist. Her beautiful white gown billowing and her long wavy tresses flying along in the air as she run ahead of him. Her sweet melodious laughter beckoning him towards her. Nikaulas reached for her, called after her but she continued to drift away. Whereas she seemed to be enjoying the chase, Nikaulas felt restless."Come here," he stretched his arm out to catch her but she eluded him in time, skillfuly. Her sweet laughter echoed once again, teasing him in the most cruel way. After what seemed like an eternity, she finaly stopped. Nikaulas paused too, breathing heavily. His eyes fixed on her as she slowly turned around allowing him a chance to marvel at her beauty. Her pretty face was glowing with a slow, mischevious smile. The wild tendril framing her face lovingly. The sparkle of her green eyes could put even the stars to shame. And those lips. There was nothing in this world he could compare them with. So juicy and soft. His heartbeat escala
"Nichelle has a doctor appointment today at 3," he stated during breakfast. "I'll take her," Angela answered curtly without moving her gaze from her plate. "Her medicines needs restocking as well," he stretched the conversationwhile observing her face."I'll get them," she again answered in a curt tone. Her withdrawn answers were irritating him. "Do you even know what medicines she takes?" this time he couldn't keep bitterness from his voice. "I'll ask the nurse," she brushed him aside again. Nikaulas clenched his jaw. "Very well," he muttered grudgingly and shoved the spoon into his mouth. ........He shouldn't be bothered by her reticent behaviour but it was bothering him, more than he would ever admit. Everytime she ignored his presence, he couldn't help but frown. He mulled over it, at length so. Of course, he wasn't going to ask her, so figuring out by himself was the only option for him. He squinted at his blank screen, thinking hard. Did she not find him good enough that
Nikaulas tenderly caressed his sister's back as she clung to him like a scared child, crying and hiccuping. She had survived some minor injuries but the shock was profound. Stefan was standing at the foot of the bed watching the siblings. His heart was twisting painfully with her every sob. Only if he could comfort her. "They..they took Angela..she saved me but...they will hurt her," she was incohorent with fear. Something flashed in Nikaulas' eyes when she mentioned Angela. Nichelle lifted her face and grabbed her brother's collar with her clammy hands. Her body shaking. The nurses were standing in a corner. their head bowed but ears perked up. Her sobs were wrecking through the room. "Ni..Nick...bri..bring her back...they..they were bad people..very bad..they will hurt her," her breathing bursting in and out as she pleaded with Nikaulas. Her large brown eyes were jammed with horror and guilt. "Everything will be alright," Nikaulas wiped Nichelle's tears and promised her. His vo
The news of Angela's kidnapping had spread like wildfire. Chris and Hailey had visited too, however, no one dared to visit Nik who had locked himself in his study. Theo was the last to visit him until Leah showed up at his door. She had offered him a warm smile as she entered the room."I heard about Angela" Leah took a chair and sat down. Nikaulas offered nothing. When she realised he was not going to answer, she began. "I heard Theo talking to himself today. He was saying you are not going to bring her back. He is very upset. But..but I think it's for good. I mean her feelings for you will only grow if you rescued her. This will complicate everything," Leah said. Nikaulas listened to her. "So I should just let her die," Nikaulas prodded with an arch of brow. "You can tell her uncle about this. He is very powerful. He will find a way to get her out. I genuinly feel bad for her. She is a really nice woman but I can't have you get involved in it, Nik. We already have a lot of mes
Flaming metallic scrapes rained down the sky and a pungent smell of burning flesh poisoned the air. The river flowing under the destroyed bridge was caught in red feiry blazes. The explosion had completely wiped out Blaine and his men's existence. It was an extremely distressing sight. Angela didn't dare to look over his shoulder and take in the massive destruction he had just unleashed. She knew it would haunt her forever if she did. She kept her gaze down not even meeting his eyes. Silent tears trickling down her cheeks. Nikaulas wasn't satisfied though. He regretted giving him such an easy death. That bastard deserved an end much more painful. His sadistic side sprung awake, churning up thousands of ways he could have killed him. He should have dug out his organs first. And how much he would have enjoyed his screams while pouring salt in their place before setting him on fire. This is what he deserved for raising his fithy hands on his wife. The driver opened the door for them. N
