Nica was back at her job, resuming her exhausting schedule. She hadn't seen or heard from Vincent but knew he must be occupied with his three-day practice.

His cold demeanor from that day still lingered in her mind. Did he hate her now?

She couldn't believe she was worrying about that instead of focusing on herself. With no one to sponsor her, she was all alone.

"Are you sure you're strong enough to resume work today?" Old Evan asked from behind her.

"I'm fine," she replied with a smile, though her body still ached, especially her neck. She wore a turtleneck to hide the faint red mark that lingered.

Having missed two days of work, she didn't plan to miss another. She thought Old Evan might be upset with her, but he seemed to genuinely care.

"You're such a liar, aren't you?" he said, seeing right through her. She swallowed hard. "You can leave now, or perhaps leave early to get some rest. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"

She nodded. "Hmm... thanks."

    "So where did you get that amazing gun you used the other day? Vincent said you attended military high school. How was the experience? Did you go out for war or something?" Valerie sighed as Rhea bombarded her with questions."Do you talk this much? Morty never told me," Valerie mumbled, shifting her black bag to one shoulder."C’mon, I’m just curious. Not only did you figure out where to find Morty, but you also knew Jamie's intentions and even helped Klaus find him," Rhea said, walking alongside her.Valerie halted, shutting her eyes for a brief moment before glancing at Rhea."Are you planning to follow me all day?" Her voice carried a hint of irritation."Huh? I just... sigh... I thought it’d be nice to talk since Morty isn’t around," Rhea replied."Where is she then?""She mentioned she was out with Klaus to clear her head or something."Valerie swept her shoulder-length messy hair back and leaned against the wall."I got the weapon from my best friend in high school," Valerie be

    "Oh… Sin!"Klaus's grip on her thigh tightened as he sucked on her swollen, sensitive nub, her wetness making her moan out loud. Her chest rose and fell with heavy breaths.Morticia couldn’t describe the feeling coursing through her. It made her head spin with pleasure, her toes curling as his teeth grazed her clit.She gasped, eyes darting to him. The sight of him buried between her legs only fueled the fire inside her.Too hot.She had never seen anything so exciting, especially when he looked up at her, flashing a dazed smile. His gaze was incredibly seductive, making her bite her lip to stifle the loud cry threatening to escape her throat.His lips parted again, taking her folds into his mouth, his tongue teasing her with deliberate movements. Her hands clenched the sheets, her legs parting further, inviting more.Whatever he was doing, she didn’t want it to stop."Klaus… ohh," she moaned, locking eyes with him."Sin," he corrected in a hoarse voice, returning to devour her."Sin,

    Morticia woke up with a light moan, the sound of her mother’s voice signaling her arrival. Her eyes flew open, and she recalled that Klaus had spent the night in her room.She quickly sat up, but the other side of her bed was empty. A breath of relief escaped her lips just as her door swung open, causing her to flinch.“Jesus, Mom! A knock wouldn’t hurt,” she said, rubbing her eyes.“I’ve been calling your lazy self for a while now. Get up!” “Yeah, I’ll be downstairs,” Morticia mumbled, trying to sound more awake. Her gaze drifted to the empty space beside her, and a smile crept onto her face.She jumped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. As she emerged, she found her mother preparing breakfast while staring at the television, but there was no sign of Klaus.Had he already left?“Where’s Klaus?” Morticia couldn’t help but ask.“I didn’t see him. He must have left after the news went viral,” Ava replied, returning her gaze to the screen.Morticia glanced over, and he

    After several attempts to reach Klaus, all had failed. It was as if he had disappeared into thin air.~Hey are you okay? I've been trying to reach you~ She sent her seventh message to him.Sighing, she stood up and decided to head to campus, hoping she might see him-or maybe one of his friends. The campus was nearly empty, with only a few students roaming around.Morticia's stomach growled, and she thought about getting something to eat first.As she got her burger, she spotted Zara-the girl from the pool the other day-along with the guy she'd met there too."Hi," Zara grinned, revealing braces on her teeth and her short, red-dyed hair. "You're the girl I met at Klaus's place, right?"Morticia cleared her throat, trying to hide her discomfort. "Yeah, I am.""Nice to see you again, swi... what's your name?" Zara asked."Morticia... uh... have you seen Klaus, or do you know where I can find him?" If he was going to keep ignoring her like this, she might go insane, and she wasn't in the

    [Years Ago]Morticia, clad in her neat high school uniform, sat in the front corner of the classroom, her attention fixed on her math assignment. A deepening frown creased her brow, revealing the struggle she faced with the work."Hey, Bunnie!" Klaus suddenly appeared before her. His class was on the next floor, yet he never failed to come see her. If he didn't show up, it was usually for a significant reason."Hey," Morticia tried to compose herself. It seemed as if Klaus grew more handsome every day.The girls in her class scoffed, and Morticia felt their hateful glares, but she was used to it by now."What are you doing?" he asked, plopping down beside her and peering curiously at her work."Just trying to solve my math assignment. It usually gives me trouble," Morticia replied with a sigh."It's not that hard," he scoffed, ruffling her hair. Her heart flutters whenever he does that. "Are you getting dumb? I should tell Vince to start feeding you something for the-"Before he could

    "...It's not fair!"Klaus stood frozen, struggling to process what she had just said. His lips parted as he searched for words.Was he going to cruelly reject her like he did with Tasha? Morticia braced herself, though deep down, she knew how hard it would be to accept it.Yesterday had felt like they were feeding a bond, bringing her closer to Klaus. She wished he could change... just for her.Was that too much to ask?After a long moment, Klaus moved, taking a step backward, then another. His expression was unreadable-guilt? Concern? Anger? Morticia couldn't tell.She took a deep breath. Right, it was all just a stupid fantasy."Goodbye, Klaus. I don't want to ever see you again," she whispered, turning to leave. She knew he wasn't following her; there was no sound of his footsteps.Klaus's fists clenched at his sides, his chest heaving as the world closed in around him, making it hard to breathe. As Morticia disappeared from view, Klaus finally let her words sink in."...For seven

    The room was filled with her personality. A cozy pink bed, books, fashion sketches, and pictures of SpongeBob. That odd little cartoon...He walked farther in, his gaze landing on the bed as he recalled their moments together-how he'd held her close and slept soundly beside her. He rarely slept well, but with her, it was different.He exhaled. He shouldn't be here. As he turned to leave, something dropped behind him. He looked back at the big brown book, open on the floor.He went to pick it up, frowning as he read a line."Dear diary, Klaus hurt me again'He glanced at the book's hard cover. Her diary. Curiosity gnawed at him. What secrets did it hold? No, he shouldn't invade her privacy-she'd warned him herself.He set it down and walked to the threshold. But after a moment, he turned back and picked it up again.He sat on her bed and started reading.Each page only made his eyes grow wider.Ava was starting to doze off when the front door suddenly slammed shut.

    Morticia stood still, without a word. The rain washed away her earlier tears as her mind riled from his words. He wanted to be better for her...The words echoed in her mind as Klaus held her close, his head buried in the crook of her neck, both of them getting soaked by the heavy rain."Let go," Morticia whispered, her voice hoarse."I'm sorry," Klaus repeated."I said let go, Klaus," she demanded again, her voice cold. He released her, stepping back to meet her firm gaze. Concern and guilt were written all over his face."What do you think you're doing?" Morticia asked, her tone sharp as Klaus's grip on her shoulders loosened. "Do you really think we can keep going in circles with the arguments, reconciliations, and... flings?""They're not flings," Klaus interrupted."Oh, now they mean something to you?" Morticia shot back, her eyes landing on her diary. She snatched it away from him. "You shouldn't have read it. It's my diary, and I hate that you invaded my privacy," she added, he

    "So, how's Klaus?" Rhea asked Morticia as they spent time together."I..." Morticia sighed, taking a deep breath. "I don't know.""What do you mean?" Rhea asked."We haven't talked," Morticia replied. It had been more than a week since Josephine's death, and the last time she saw Klaus was at the funeral. He left before the ceremony was over.She had searched for him at his apartment the next day, but found no sign of him either. The only place remaining was Mr. Finn's mansion, here in Washington.Rhea sighed. "I hope he's okay then. What about your mother?""She's watching movies more than she can handle. She's trying to distract herself. My brother is taking care of her," Morticia croaked. Everything felt as though it was falling apart since Josephine's death.Rhea reached out to hold her hand, giving her an assuring squeeze."Everything will be fine, okay? Perhaps he's just trying to get himself together and doesn't want to hurt you," Rhea said."That's what Vincent said. He said h

    Morticia staggered backward, her head spinning at the scene. Oh heavens! This should be a dream!Josephine can't be dead. This was surreal. The doctor mentioned she was responding, and her chance of survival was slowly rising.How could she have died just forty minutes before her last surgery?Klaus was unconscious, lying on the bed. Finn had hurt his head pretty badly, and the nurse was treating him.Wait. Ava.Morticia spun around, her eyes scanning the hall with no sign of her mother."Mom?" she panicked."She's in the ward at the end of the hall," Katie responded."What!""She passed out after hearing the news of her death."Morticia spun, rushing toward the ward. There, on the bed, Ava had an oxygen mask on her face, unconscious."She will be fine, miss. She just went through a shock and will wake up tomorrow morning," the nurse assured.Morticia burst into loud cries, sliding to the floor, her fingers tangling in her hair as she pulled it in frustration.It was too much!

    "Klaus, you have to try this," she said, bouncing with excitement as they stopped before the game Dance Upon Revolution.Klaus crossed his arms, towering over the machine with a skeptical look. "You really expect me to jump around on that thing?""Yes! It's fun!" Morticia grinned, pointing at the screen. "The goal is simple: step on the arrows as they light up to match the rhythm of the song. Easy.""That's literally jumping, not dancing," Klaus muttered, his brow furrowing."It's not about looking cool; it's about not falling off the platform."Klaus huffed, stepping onto the platform reluctantly. Morticia joined him on the second pad, cracking her knuckles like a seasoned pro."Let's start with an easy song," she said, scrolling through the menu. She picked a cheerful, mid-tempo tune.The music began, and the arrows on the screen started scrolling upward in time with the beat. Morticia's feet moved fluidly, hitting each step with precision. Klaus, meanwhile, hesitated, stomping awkw

    SURGERY 1 SUCCESSFUL...Klaus couldn't stop smiling as Morticia chattered animatedly around him. His Bunnie could talk all day, and he loved every moment of it. Her presence was everything.The first surgery for his mother had been a success, but there were still two more to go. The next surgery was in twelve hours, and Josephine would be unconscious until all three procedures were completed.Klaus leaned in and placed a swift kiss on Morticia's lips, playfully silencing her. "That's enough," he whispered, his voice hoarse."I... I haven't told you how he got to won the competition yet!" "A bonus?" She gasped. "How did you know?""Because we watched the movie together," he chuckled, and Morticia blinked at him with wide eyes."How come you're telling me this now, just as I'm about to finish telling you about the entire movie?""I just love listening to your voice," he replied softly, capturing her lips in a gentle kiss as she settled on top of him, his fingers caressing her back.T

    As they continue hugging, the door creaked open silently, revealing Vincent, whose gaze landed on them. The scene stirred something deep inside him as he silently watched. He decided not to disturb them. Exhaling, he closed the door softly and stepped away from the room. He met his mother's worried look. "They're fine. Morticia is taking care of him," Vincent smiled and walked away before she could reply. Ava's mouth hung open; it seemed Vincent knew what was going on between Klaus and Morticia. Light sobs caught her attention, and she traced the sound to find Evie crying silently in an empty ward room. Spotting Ava, Evie quickly wiped her tears and greeted her. "Hi." Ava let out a small smile. "Are you okay?" Evie stayed silent for a moment before shaking her head. "No, I'm not. But I will be once she's awake." Ava nodded and sat beside her. "She's the strongest woman I know. She's going to make it." Evie nodded, wiping the tears that fell freely down her cheeks. "Thanks a lo

    However, day by day passed with neither of them contacting each other. Morticia focused her time on studying for exams and spending time with Rhea.All this while, she didn't see Klaus.But once, when she visited Josephine with Ava, Klaus wasn't present. Deep down, she wished he was.Perhaps she should contact him and ask how he was doing. She wanted to; she couldn't deny that.~It was finally the day of surgery. Klaus was with Josephine at the beach. The surgery was going to take place in three hours.Though Josephine acted as though she wasn't scared, Klaus could see right through her. He wasn't unscathed either.The surgery was scaring the hell out of him. He just had to act strong for her."I've been waiting for this moment, Klaus," Josephine started after they both stared at the sea for a long while."Me too." Klaus looked at her calm face. "You're going to survive; I know that."Josephine smiled. "You've finished your final exam; you'll soon graduate. How could I not survive to

    Vincent ran his fingers through his hair, his gaze on the ceiling as he struggled to sleep.All he wanted was to see his family again. He missed them so much, but he never expected to meet everything so screwed up.His phone buzzed, and he picked it up to check.His eyes widened at the message, and he sprang up from his bed."What?" Vincent mumbled.Klaus, who had also received the same message, sat on his couch with a stunned expression.~Simon, Dimitri and their other accomplice eliminated for breaking the rules~The message was from a strange, untraceable number, accompanied by a picture of Simon, Dimitri, and others lying dead.The rules.Was it because they tried to kill Klaus?"Void," Klaus and Vincent muttered simultaneously in their respective rooms.-Old Evan tapped on his counter machine, trying to make it work."What bad timing, you little punk," he mumbled and hit it again. The customer before him let out an awkward smile; the old man looked scary when frustrated.Nica ru

    "Kill who?" Ava asked again when they all remained silent, staring at her. She stepped further into the room."Are you just going to stand there and say nothing? I just asked you both a question!" she snapped.Klaus made to speak, but Vincent stopped him and began explaining instead. Ava's eyes widened with every word, and she instinctively stepped back in shock."After a year of working for him, he didn't release us. He threatened to go after our family if we didn't continue to work for him," Klaus added.Ava shook her head in disbelief. "Are you both serious right now? What in the hell did this so-called Simon do to drag you both into this? And why didn't you tell me?! What could he have possibly used to threaten you?!""It was because of you!" Vincent snapped at her for the very first time.Klaus gave him a look, silently urging him not to say it.Ava's mouth hung open. "Because of me?""August 19th, last year. What happened that night?" Vincent questioned, and the color drained fr

    Klaus woke up late the next day, his eyes fluttering open to a slightly familiar room.Slowly, he sat up, meeting Vincent's blank gaze from the corner of the room. He glanced around but saw no sign of Morticia."She's home with my mother," Vincent clarified, sensing Klaus's confusion. "So Ava won't suspect anything and make Josephine worry.""Oh," Klaus muttered, and a long silence settled between them."How is she?" Klaus finally asked, breaking the stillness.Vincent raised a brow."I know you're mad at me, bruh. I'm sorry I didn't tell you," Klaus said. "I planned to once you got back, and I never meant for you to find out like that."Another heavy pause hung in the air before Vincent spoke. "I'm not sorry for hitting you. But I'm sorry for not being there sooner."Klaus studied his friend. There was still anger in Vincent's eyes, burning fiercely. But beneath the rage was something else-something unfamiliar. It was the first time Klaus couldn't read him."I'm not gonna hurt her,"
