For the first time since she she was working here, Nica stepped into Old Evan's small apartment. The store had closed, and the man had invited her in for dinner.

She had tried to refuse, but this man was a definition of stubbornness.

She met a man setting the table, his home was very neat, one won't think it was an old man who lives here.

"Take a seat, girl.. I'll get the water."

"Let me help you," Nica offered.

"Take your seat." he waved his hand, and she sighed, obeying.

As they settled down, the man served her enough vegetables.

"Thank you, sir." Nica bowed a little.

"Hm.. apart from that punk Vincent, you're the second person that managed to make me smile," he said, and Nica expression changed a little at the mention of Vincent.

"You live alone," Nica muttered, expecting to see someone live with him at least.

"I had a wife who died a few years ago. We had no children. My relatives are far from here, so I live alone."

Nica lips parted in surprise. "I... I'm.."

    Ava peeked over Klaus from the window, who stood beside his car waiting. After Morticia told her she finally found a way to convince this stubborn guy, she still found it hard to believe."Mom?" Morticia stood at the threshold. "What are you doing?""Are you sure Klaus agreed to this? I mean, what did you do to him. It was almost impossible, even for Vincent to convince him," Ava muttered."Urgh... mom. We might miss the flight. And please don't ask Klaus weird questions," Morticia plead."Question like what?" Ava gave her a snubby look."Questions like, what did Morticia do to make you come. Cus that would literally ruin everything, and he might change his mind," Morticia said, and Ava's mouth hung."You're right, I was planning to ask him that," Ava mumbled, and Morticia shook her head. "Then if Klaus isn't going to tell me.. then you do. Maybe I can do that to him, so he could listen to me too...""No!" Morticia exclaimed, cutting her off.Ava held her chest. "That scared me. What'

It was her first time visiting Mr. Finn Barnard's main mansion... every inch of it screamed wealth.The space was vast, almost like a palace. She knew Klaus's father was a tycoon, but the sheer scale of his estate left her shocked. Massive.The decorations were simply breathtaking, adorned with flowers and ribbons. The guest list wasn't extensive-just family and most of Mr. Barnard's staff.Though it was evening, the mansion shone brightly, illuminating the smiling faces of the guests gathered around.Morticia glanced at her phone. She hadn't heard from Klaus all day. He had left in the morning to visit an old friend and pick up a suit for the wedding.she texted him, waiting for a reply. After a while, her phone beeped.his message read, making her smile."Your boyfriend?" an old woman asked. It was Josephine's younger sister. Morticia hadn't seen this woman in years."Auntie Evie,"

    New YorkThe guests gathered around a swimming pool, eating and drinking. The light reflecting off the water cast a soft glow, giving the place an extraordinary elegance as classical music played in the background."Hello, sister."Summoning her courage, Evie finally approached her older sister Josephine, who was chatting with Ava.Ava's smile faded. If it hadn't been for Josephine, she would have snapped at Evie."Hi, Evie. Long time no see. How have you been?" Josephine asked with a smile, but it only made Evie frown.The last time Evie saw Josephine, her sister had cursed her, seething with hatred after Evie's mistake years ago.A mistake.Evie had slept with Finn and was caught by Klaus. That mistake haunted her, breaking her sister and traumatizing Klaus. It had caused a fight so fierce that Evie hated herself for it.Now, Josephine, who had once despised her, was smiling as if nothing had happened. Could she have forgiven her?"Are you crying?" Josephine asked as Ava looked on,

    Rhea paced in her room, her breath uneven as she tried to process what had happened last night. Valerie had pressed her lips against hers.Why? Was that what she meant by wanting to be more than friends?That didn't make sense. Didn't Valerie realize she was a girl? Sure, Rhea had heard of such relationships before, but she had never thought about finding herself in one.Her heart raced in her chest as she replayed the moment over and over in her head.She recalled the firmness of Valerie's lips on hers and how she couldn't even push her away when it happened. Instead, she had stood frozen until Valerie pulled away."That's how I feel, Rhea. I thought you'd hate me for it, which is why I kept it in. But now I don't care. You can make any decision you want, and I'll be fine with it... I like you, Rhea. I like you so much," Valerie had said before walking away from the party."Argh!" Rhea slumped onto her bed, staring at the ceiling. Her emotions were in turmoil as she tried to figure o

    It was getting a bit late. Morticia groaned as she got stuck in a small traffic jam. She called the guy again, but he didn't pick up.Soon, she got out of it and reached the guy's place. She spotted a figure trashing something. Their gazes met."You're Bunnie?" he asked, and she ran to him."Where is he?""He left an hour ago. He left the moment he knew I had called you," he said, and Morticia's heart dropped to her feet. "He had been here since morning, acting all grumpy. I thought it was just one of his mood swings, not until I saw the news about his mother. I asked about it, and he exploded, crashing my things and punching the wall until he bled. So I had to call you." His voice was calm, though it sounded frustrated.Morticia swept her hair back. "Where is he right now? Which way did he go?""That way," he pointed to the right side of the road. "I couldn't follow. He was fucking scary. I'll get the money to fix my stuff once he's back to himself." He returned to packing his broken

    "Let me see your hand," Morticia demanded and tried to reach for Klaus's hand, but he dodged her hold."No need, I'm fine," he mumbled."Bring your hand now, Klaus," she insisted, coldly this time. Without a word, Klaus offered his wounded hand to her.He watched her apply ointment, his gaze intent, still finding it hard to believe she was actually here with him and that he had cried in her arms.Her expression serious as she dressed his wound. "Can you stop hurting yourself whenever you're upset? And stop breaking things too; you gave your friend a lot of work."Klaus pressed his lips together, accepting her scolding.After a while, he asked, "Is she awake?" His voice was low, barely audible."No... but the doctor said she'll wake up soon," Morticia replied, her voice steady. She stood. "Please stay; I'll go get something to eat."As the door shut, Klaus's gaze landed on the smashed pieces of glass. He got up and cleaned the mess.After a while, Morticia entered the small room with a

    As Morticia watched, Klaus pulled out a small package from the drawer, anxiety twisting in her stomach. Her breath was shaky as the thought of sleeping with Klaus overwhelmed her.She was fully năked, her face red as she pressed her lips together."What... what's that?" She bit her lip as Klaus joined her on the bed again."Cõňdom," he answered, his voice soft. "You know what that is, don't you?""Hm." She nodded and mumbled, "I'm not that clueless.""Well, you once called my cõck a banana," he chuckled, and she hit his arm.Her cheek flushed with embarrassment. "How come you had it here?" She couldn't help but ask."It was when I was on a trip with my father," he said, and her expression changed. "Don't think about it, Bunnie. You're the one I love... the only one."A smile finally crept across her face."Are you sure?" He asked in a whisper."Yeah... please don't ask again. I really mean it," she said quickly under her breath."It... it feels wrong yet so right... I don't know if Vi

    The skinny guy also matched forward and attacked first. Valerie swiftly dodged his punch, grabbed his hand, and delivered an uppercut, hitting him once in the jaw and again in the nose.Holding his arm firmly, she swung him down to the floor; the impact made him lose consciousness. The fight played out too quickly.Valerie swept her hair back. "Who's next? Don't be a coward and come at me bastards."The remaining two scoffed, released Rhea, and drew their knives. Valerie smirked, gesturing for them to come with her fingers.They both charged towards her at once, swinging their daggers at her.Rhea couldn't believe how fast Valerie was. And what was with the smirk on her face? It was as if Valerie was enjoying the dangerous fight.Valerie twisted and broke one of the guy's arms, his scream piercing the air. She bowed, dodging the second who tried to slash her from behind, kneeing the one in her grip several times until blood spilled from his lips. When he weakened in her hold, she smas

    "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

    "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

    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,"

    Jamie stared at the unconscious Klaus with a satisfied grin on his face. Klaus's phone buzzed on the floor, flashing the name Bunnie on the screen.Jamie's smile disappeared as his gaze landed on it."She's calling him," he mumbled, his gaze darkening.Reaching for the hammer in his pocket, he slammed it on Klaus's phone. He did it again and again until it was completely destroyed.Taking a deep breath, his eyes settled on Klaus again. "Fûcking asshole," he chuckled darkly."I would have loved to kill you with my bare hands, but... sigh... that weird guy Simon who released me said I should make it look like an accident," he scoffed. "Let's see how this goes."Simon had chosen Klaus's favorite place-the beach-to stage the "accident." It was supposed to look as though Klaus had drowned himself, ensuring it would take time for anyone to find the body and making it impossible to trace back to them.Groaning, Jamie dropped Klaus onto the sand, gasping for air."This motherfûcker is heavy,"

    Vincent finally stopped. Klaus spat out blood, sliding to the floor, bleeding all over. His breath was ragged."I'm sorry," he breathed, groaning at the intense pain surging through him.Two or three ribs were probably broken from the brutal hits. Blood trickled down his lips and nose. He was a mess, marred with his own blood and bruises."Get out before I kill you. And stay the fûck away from her," Vincent growled.Sucking in a breath, Klaus forced himself up. Vincent clenched his fists, tears falling from his eyes as his best friend staggered past him.Klaus gripped the table for support, his gaze meeting Morticia's, who was in tears."Klaus," she mouthed, her lips trembling."Don't worry about me," he said, his voice hoarse. "I'll get myself treated and reach out... I promise."Morticia shook her head, tears streaming freely. "You can't just leave like this. You're hurt, Klaus. Let me-""Don't," Klaus cut her off, his voice firm despite his battered state. "I don't want you getting
