Morticia took a deep breath. The air around her felt stifling; she needed some space.

She swiftly turned to leave, walking past her brother, who remained at the entrance with a stunned look.

Vincent slowly stepped down completely, standing before the man he hadn't seen in four years. Though he hated Klaus all these years, deep down, he still wanted to know the reason behind his actions.

Both friends stared at each other for a long moment.

"Why?" Vincent finally asked the question that had haunted him for years.

If Klaus didn't have a good reason, he couldn't promise he'd keep his cool.

"Katie was Void."

Vincent's jaw clenched as another heavy silence settled between them.

"Why are you telling me this now?" he asked, his voice sharp.

Klaus sighed. "I couldn't. She would have killed you, Ava, and then Bunnie if I didn't do what she said. I had to protect the people I love."

"The people you love?" Vincent scoffed. "That sounds like a pretty joke to me."

"Look, Vince, I didn't have a choi

    "When will she be coming back?" Lisa asked in a panicked tone, her eyes darting around at the other employees, who all wore the same worried expression."I hope it's soon. Miss Morticia might be strict, but she's the reason we're the best team here," another coworker chimed in, prompting several others to sigh."She'll be back soon," Nolan said, drawing their attention."How do you know that? She left in such a strange way that day-upset at President Sinclair, I think," Lisa remarked."Why was she upset with President Sinclair? Do they know each other from somewhere?" someone else asked."It looked like they might," Lisa mumbled. "I've never seen Miss Morticia that upset before."Just then, the door creaked open, and Morticia stepped in, her expression as blank as ever as she made her way to her seat."Good morning, ma'am," they all greeted, bowing their heads slightly.Morticia didn't respond. She sat down, her fingers tapping rhythmically on her desk as she rested her chin on her ot

    Morticia got home an hour later. She hadn't spent much time with Nolan, and their conversation over dinner had been strictly about work and she felt guilty about it.It didn't feel like a date at all. Klaus was still on her mind, no matter how hard she tried to ignore the feelings stirring inside her.The sound of warm, running water echoed in the bathroom as Morticia stood naked under the shower, letting the stream cascade over her skin, easing her tense muscles. She ran her fingers through her hair, tilting her face up with her eyes closed.A memory struck her-Klaus pinning her against the wall, his lips crashing onto hers, his rough hands roaming over her body."So wet. So ready. Just for me... I love the way your body submits to me, Bunnie... Every part of it."Morticia's eyes flew open as Klaus's voice echoed in her mind. She stared at the tiled wall, recalling the torment of his sweet touch.She sighed, trying to shake the memory, but the harder she tried, the more vivid it beca

    "Did you really go out with Miss Morticia?" Lisa asked nosily as Nolan packed some files."We had dinner. Any problem?" Nolan asked, and Lisa shook her head."I'm just wondering how you managed to convince her." Lisa leaned closer and whispered, "Are you two... together?"Nolan sighed and turned to her. "Do you think I have a chance?""Huh?""She confessed she's been in love with a man for more than ten years. Do you think I have a chance, Lisa?"Lisa blinked, not only at his words but at how close they were, yet he leaned closer still."Then... why..."Nolan straightened. "Nothing. I only wanted to get to know her. There were a few romantic feelings, but not anymore. Her heart has no space.""Really?" Lisa leaned forward this time. Nolan raised a brow at her closeness. Lisa cleared her throat. "Sorry."Nolan gave her a small smile and walked away, files in hand.As he left, Lisa punched the air in excitement."I have a chance," she shrieked.Nolan entered the office, finding Morticia

    Klaus froze as Morticia cried against his chest, her grip tightening around him. Slowly, he lifted his arms and wrapped them around her.His fingers stroked her hair, his mind wandering over what could have upset her. Was she no longer mad at him? Could she have found out the reason why he had left?He stayed still, letting her pour out her emotions through her tears.Finally, after a long while, Morticia pulled away, her face lowered."Bunnie," he called softly, his hand reaching to hold her face, but she stepped back, pulling out a handkerchief to clean her tears.Klaus stared at her worriedly, waiting for her to speak. Her red eyes met his as she took a deep breath."I met Tasha," she said, her voice heavy with emotion. "And she told me everything. Right from the day you left."Klaus's breath hitched at her words. "She did?" he asked, wanting to know if Tasha had told the truth. He was sure she had; she knew the consequences of messing with him."I want to hear you out," Morticia w

    It had been almost a week since Morticia's team started working in collaboration with Scarlett Holdings. Throughout this time, Morticia made sure to keep her discussions with Klaus strictly professional.Although, occasionally, they exchanged a few words outside of work, Morticia ensured it was always brief.Other employees noticed this and wondered how Morticia managed to stay close to the strict, cold president infamous as the "ruthless devil" in the business world.But Klaus was dying inside. Morticia wasn't cold to him, but she was distant. He hadn't had a single moment alone with her-not even once.Another thing gnawed at him: Morticia and Nolan Wimp. Were they together now? Especially since they had once gone on a date.A week had passed, and though Klaus had promised to give her some time, it was killing him. Yet, he didn't want to cross any boundaries."Mr. Klaus," Wyatt's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up and sighed."Yeah... Sorry, I zoned out a bit," Klaus

    Her move had shocked everyone in the hall. One of her team members even fainted in shock. A few guests had their drinks slip through their hands, crashing to the floor.No one moved until Klaus led Morticia out of the place.Now in his personal suite, not far from the hall, Klaus pinned Morticia against the wall. Their lips moved against each other, tongues tangling as his hands roamed over her body.She moaned, returning the kiss with equal hunger. Her back arched, pressing her body firmly against his broad chest.Klaus groaned against her lips. Holy shit! He missed this... so fûcking much!His hands slipped to her thighs, lifting her against him. With one arm, he pushed aside the things cluttering the table and placed Morticia on it.Her legs parted, and he positioned himself between them. Their lips stayed molded together as fire sparked between them, their passion igniting with every touch.They had both missed this-bodies and minds claiming each other after the long separation.M

    The sun settled on Morticia's face, stirring her awake from sleep.She moaned softly, shifting in the soft bed. Her head bumped into a firm chest, prompting her eyes to flutter open and meet a pair of beautiful metallic eyes."Good morning, love," Klaus greeted in a sweet, deep voice that made her blush and smile."How long have you been staring at me?" she asked, her voice tiny, like a little child.She recalled last night's activities, and heat crept onto her cheeks. She quickly covered her face with the duvet."Shy?" Klaus chuckled, pulling the duvet away, but she covered her face again. "You're damn cute."He tugged the duvet away again, pinning it down this time so she couldn't hide. He leaned down to kiss her.Morticia smiled brightly. "Is this real?" she whispered.Klaus didn't reply. Instead, he leaned down and kissed her again, nibbling her lips gently to let her know it wasn't a dream.He was really here with her.

    Cassian’s chest heaved, his face reddened with anger as he glanced at the men who had utterly betrayed him. His voice tinged with anger and deperation. “You fools! You think Klaus will treat you right? Klaus isn’t even a Moore!”“But my husband led the clan in defeating their greatest enemy," Morticia glared sharply, her voice cold. "While you hid and cowered in fear,” Cassian gritted his teeth in anger, but that anger quickly turned to fear the moment the door opened. A lifeless body fell at the threshold making Cassian gulped in fear, and Klaus stepped in, blood staining his face and black suit, making him look like a handsome devil emerging straight from hell.Cassian trembled as Klaus approached with light yet powerful steps, an instinctive fear making him shift back. Sweat pooled his body.Klaus’s strong arm wrapped possessively around Morticia’s waist, while his other hand gripped a gun aimed directly at Cassian’s forehead.“Wait! Wait! Are you really going to kill me? I’m one

    Cassian's face quickly twisted from an amused one into a panicked one. “How the hell did he find us?” They must have underestimated Klaus. How did Klaus even know they were after him?Drake’s jaw clenched. “I'll head out to stop him.” He grabbed his gun and stepped out of the room with some men.Cassian, however, swiftly pulled out his gun and pointed it at Morticia’s forehead. He chuckled.“What makes him think I won't kill you before he gets here?” Cassian asked with a smirk. He clicked on his gun, ready to shoot, but Morticia showed no fear; Cassian knew she was only acting tough.“Ending you right here will solve everything and bring everything back together. If you die, Klaus will forget all about you and marry my daughter.”Cassian crooked his neck. “That’s how he is; he doesn't give a fuck about anyone. Even you. You're just a worthless whore he'll soon throw away. So I'll do you the favor by driving this bullet into your forehead.”“Oh, little man. Our bond is way stronger tha

    As Rhea told Morticia the whole story about Valerie’s uncle, Morticia felt anger and worry rising in her chest.The urge to find the man named Drake triggered her.“He said that bastard is in town. Definitely has a motive… a dangerous one, I presume,” Rhea sighed. “Val asked me not to tell anyone… but I think you already know the reason why I'm telling you.”Morticia nodded, knowing what Rhea meant. “Sure, that bastard needs to be caught. How dare he return after all he did and still have the guts to appear at Nana's funeral?”“I know, right? I wish I could break both of his legs!” Rhea's jaw clenched, and Morticia gave her an assuring squeeze.“It's okay… we’ll find him.”****“Drake Grayson,” Klaus's jaw clenched. “I know that bastard.”“You do?” Morticia asked, a slight hint of hope lacing her voice. If Klaus knows him, then they can have their revenge for what he did to Valerie.“Yes. And as a matter of fact… he is after me,” Klaus said, his voice devoid of panic. He looked as tho

    Rhea didn't realize the tears that slipped down her face, running down her own cheek. Never had she thought Valerie could face such cruelty from her own relative—someone she had once trusted.Why do trusted people seem to hurt her? Even her only sister and her first love did, cheating on her on her birthday.“Oh… Val,” Rhea whispered.“I was nine.” Valerie's jaw was gritted so hard that her teeth sent a signal of aching. “No one seems to believe me since there was no proof to support my claim, and I had spoken up too late,” Valerie whispered, her voice slightly heavy with emotion. “Nana wasn't around. It was just my sister who tried to fight for me.”“She tried to get to the root of the matter, wanting to run a test on me, but… the police never listened…”Rhea’s jaw clenched. “They must be insane. How could they dismiss you like that? How could they turn their backs on a child?” she whispered, her voice trembling with anger and sorrow.Valerie let out a bitter laugh, the sound devoid

    Rhea returned home a bit early from work. Setting her coat aside, she stepped further into the room. Her eyes searched for Valerie. Was she not home yet?“Val?” Rhea called out gently, deciding to check their room. Getting there, she hesitated but pushed the thought aside. She opened the door, and there was Valerie, sitting on the bed, her back bent, her face cradled in her palms, and her elbows resting on her knees. She seemed lost in thought, a million miles away.Rhea stepped forward, her steps light and careful. Sadness swept across her features.“Val,” she called lightly, but Valerie remained unmoved, still drowning in her thoughts.Sighing, Rhea stepped closer and touched Valerie's shoulder.Valerie seemed to snap out of her trance, her gaze shooting up to meet Rhea's. “Rhea!”She stood up to face her and took a deep breath, clearing her throat and masking the sadness that Rhea had glimpsed for a fleeting moment.“Hey… uh, you got off work quite early. How are you doing?” Valer

    Klaus chuckled, a low sound that felt like music to her ears. He pressed a swift kiss to her cheek.“Go freshen up. Breakfast will be ready soon,” he said, pulling away.Morticia noticed the restraint in his retreat. She would have loved to tease him more, but her body ached, though she tried to deny it.Back in the room, she entered the bathroom, opting for a warm bath since it was quite cold outside. The weather was relaxing, and she could already imagine using the chill as an excuse to have Klaus wrap his strong arms around her and talk for hours.She wished this honeymoon would never end.After her bath, she stared at her reflection. Love marks adorned her delicate skin, reminders of their passion.Geez, Morticia, enough with the thoughts about him.But no, there was no stopping them. Klaus was her husband now. Hers forever. She imagined their future—children, boys or girls, whatever God blessed them with. She pictured herself and Klaus parenting together, telling stories to their

    In the cold hall, Drake weaved his way through. His shoulders were squared, his eyes serious, and his expression cold as ice. At the end of the hall stood three guards, securing a room.Drake gave them a nod, and one of the guards knocked on the door, announcing his presence. Upon receiving permission, the guards opened the door, letting Drake step inside.The room was large and imposing, with dark walls. In the middle of the room was a king-sized bed, where a man lay surrounded by three women, their hands and lips shamelessly exploring him.“What is it, Drake?” Cassian Moore raised his gaze to Drake, his calloused hand squeezing the ass of the woman straddling him. “Care to join before discussing whatever it is that’s on your mind?”“It’s about the new Don,” Drake said, his tone cautious. “He just got married.”Cassian’s brow furrowed as he sat up abruptly. “Klaus Barnard got married?” he questioned, disbelief sharpening his voice.“Yes. He tried to keep it a secret. His wife’s name
