The sound of the alarm blared through his ears, forcing him to jolt awake.“Fuck this” Was Leonardo’s usually morning mantle the few moments before he stepped out of bed. His morning was a routine—cleaning up, dressing for work and waiting by the porch for his driver in his Mercedes.Only a few minutes later would he alight at the portico of the large building that was his hotel and when he pushed through the doors, he was met with a worrisome expression across Harold’s face. “I got your message” He said, turning in the same direction that he walked.“About a meeting?” Harold said in a questioning tone and before Leonard walked into his office, he turned to exchange a glare. “You don’t look alright” Harold noted and a sigh escaped his lips. “That’s because someone’s trying to kill me” He accused, throwing off his bag and then running his hands through his hair. Both their eyes met, during the time which a scoff escaped Harold’s lips hoping it was a joke.“What?”“Someone’s fucking tr

The moment his eyes opened, she was the first they met.Joan was seated on the hospital bed with her hands running down his hot temperatured neck. She heaved in a deep breath and Frederick turned to face her fully with a smile across his lips.That same smile he’d faked for the longest time.“Hey” She whispered, over it. Freddie, seeing the dull in her eyes was immediately concerned and he sat up. “Are you okay?” His voice was frail and shaky, like the gaze she was locked in.“No, are you okay?” Joan shook his head.“The doctor said you’re in so much pain yesterday” She grasped his hands in hers and he exhaled from his lips. “It’s nothing i can’t handle” Frederick chuckled but for the first time, Joan wore on a straight face. It was because of how broken she’d been all through the night that she dreaded asking him this next question.“Do you want to be euthanized, Freddie?”“I feel like you’ve been dropping these subtle hints and clues but you’re scared to ask because you think i may

The car tyre rovered upon a speed bump, causing Joan to jerk forward and inadvertently drifting her out of her thoughts. She fastened her hands against her thighs as she looked out of the windows.“Are you alright?” Seeing the arch between her brows, Theodore asked. It was almost as if he could sense the tension brewing behind the tightly shut windows. She threw her head upon her shoulders to look back at him. And with one hand around the steering wheel, he spared a second for them to lock eyes.“I’m just a little bit nervous. I mean what if she wants nothing to do with me and i just end up ruining her new family?” Joan asked, a little berserk and Theo scoffed. “I’ve watched enough movies to validate my worries, Theo” She harkened, rolling her eyes to the back of her head.The moment his eyes darted back to the roads, the smirk across his lips seemed to vanish and just then he heaved a deep breath. “You’ll be alright” Theodore croaked and her eyes caught the ‘Welcome to LA’ sign boar

The car came to a halt at the corner of the roads and up ahead them, there wasn’t really much but these two houses and a windmill a distance from them. The winds gushed in through the windows as they came down and both Joan and Theodore looked to each other at the same time.“You think this is it?” She asked but he didn’t say anything surprisingly, just pushed the doors and stepped out. Joan, with an arc between her brows came out the other side and sauntered behind him.“Theodore, is everything alright?” She asked.“I noticed the coldness all through the ride and you barely even saying anything i mean, come on” Joan’s voice was perched with a high tone and it was then he turned around.“Oh really” He shrugged his shoulders.“Thought i was really subtle”“Did i do anything?” Joan asked softly now and his lips disappeared into his mouth as he scoffed. “Did you do anything, Joan you’re asking me if you did anything?” He echoed her words and she was even more plagued.“How about dragging

“Oh my God”With a pair of squared glasses perched upon her nose, Freya was able to set her able sights upon the television and seeing that particular headline, that exclamation escaped her frail lips.“No” She shook her head in denial, because right in front of her was a picture of Isabella in an unknown man’s arms whilst they shared a kiss. She was beyond stunned just like everyone else was and her first instinct was to look around whether the kids were close by.They were not.She could see them, a distance from her around the dining table doing what they knew how to do best—eat. But then suddenly as her eyes turned to look at the clock and she begun to wonder if Leonardo had seen this news and where he was, the door suddenly barged open with a frantic and horrid expression across Tessa’s face.Her hands had been cut from broken glass and she was quivering—shaky.“There’s a fire!” She yelled and there was a vicious crack in her voice. Though with trembling legs, Freya was able to s

"Where is she?"Pushing a lump down her sore, dry throat, Joan asked. For some reason, she’d escaped eye contact with the woman before her. She had luscious dark red hair just like that photo she’d seen of Miranda and that was not the only feature common to the both of them.It wasn’t exactly rocket science that she was her daughter. “I’m Emma” She’d introduced the moment she pushed open the doors and Theo sauntered right behind Joan whose countenance had fallen beyond. He stole casual glances from the corner of his eyes and even his unconcerning veneer was very unbelievable.He saw how bereaved she was as she sat into the caramel brown couch and Emma had walked back to her with a cup of coffee. The farmhouse bungalow was eerily silent and occasionally the winds that blew in swayed the cream curtains side by side. Joan was in the couch, just opposite Emma but Theo was standing with his back wedged against the walls.His arms were folded, just like hers.“Where is she?” Was the questi

Isabella Evans arose from her bed with a forceful jolt, realizing her whole life wasn’t just a nightmare like she’d hoped it was.“Shit” She cussed the moment she took the newspaper in her hands to see the unapologetic headline that couldn’t have been any more invasive and insulting to her. Running her hands through her hair, even summoning a deep breath seemed to be such a task.Alas when she finally brought her feet to reach the ground, Isabella contemplated dialing the two men who had been dragged through the mud because of her. Her hands quivered but out of fear of the uncertainty—the fear that neither of them would want nothing to do with her anymore.God, she did ruin everything that came within her reach.And now, she hated everything. She hated that the paparazzi had put her in such a position, stuck between two walls when all she wanted really was a normal life to begin with. Foolish of her to have thought she left them behind in Norman.She remembered when it happened with

“The city’s really magical from up here.” With the lights illuminating her dark brown eyes and her ankles swinging from several inches above the lopsided grasslands, Joan said. Her hands wedged beside her, holding her up as she lent her gaze to the towering buildings of Los Angeles——most of the roofs piercing into the starlight skies blanketing over them. A crinkle crept to the corner of her lips and when Theo moved closer, her head rested so naturally upon his shoulders. The winds were merciless at this height but she had his jacket which she held around her frame and her hair which dropped across her face. She was seated upon the L, of Hollywood and him, on the Y.He’d made it obvious how uncomfortable he was, but it was a price to pay to enjoy this moment with her. For the first time, she didn’t have a million things racing her mind, and although she’d met her mother’s family, had lunch with Jazzy and Daniel, none of it really stayed with her.Rarely, except this moment was she

FIVE MONTHS LATER.Isabella gathered the hems of her flowing white dress as she heaved in a deep breath. Her face turned crimson with blood draining from her cheeks and she turned to Joan who was right beside her. "I'm so nervous" She whispered beneath her breath with her shoes grazing into the fields.There were roses all around them and they stood just behind the door yet to open. "The dress is beautiful, Isabella. You're perfect.” Joan whispered, being her maid of honor for her second wedding and they shared a chuckle."It's like a full circle moment" Isabella beamed a smile and Joan rested unto her arms."But it's different now" She said."Either way i'm glad i get to do this with you again. I'm glad i still have you" Isabella pushed a hard lump down her throat. "Have you thought about what Leonardo said?" She asked for the nth time and i remembered months ago when he told me of his plans to leave Norman.That it was up to me though, to decide what exactly a fresh slate meant."I

“Hey” Her soft voice drew to him as he brought his eyes to open. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor subdued behind her voice and Em inched closer to him. Gerald’s eyes were slow but the moment he recognized her, there was a large grin that spread across his lips. “I’m here” She comforted, leaning forward to place a kiss on his cheek.“You’re okay” Her hands pressed lightly on the wrapped gunshot wound in his chest and he nodded. “Isabella?” He softly asked and Em held his hands to her lips and with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “She’s okay—”“Everyone’s okay.”His hands fell around his wrist and there was the bracelet he’d gotten for her thirty years ago. Gerald’s eyes shimmered with tears as he gazed upon the beautiful beige dress she still wore. “You kept it” He whispered and Emily nodded her head fraily.“Of course i kept it” She smiled. There was a minute of silence between them as she wiped beneath her eyes but then Isabella knocked upon the doors before walking in. “You

Leonardo burst out the other side of the door and the heat from the serenading flames hit him in his face. He tied a cloth around his nose and he searched through his foggy vision to make out everything around him.It was a painstaking effort with his feet crunching into a piece of glass and the parts of the ceiling that had crumbled to the ground. “I say we take ahead!” Theodore yelled, looking at the only way still feasible. Leo choked but somehow managed to get himself in order in a minute.The sound of approaching sirens blared from outside the door but by the looks of it, they seemed still far away. He didn’t have time—and so did Isa. “Let’s go” He chanted and they filed down the corridor, searching each room for what was left. The whole house was dark, even as the skies were visible through the shattered roof. “Isabella!” He yelled at the top of his voice, taking down the mask across his face for a second. “Joan!” Theodore yelled too, in the hopes that she was here as well.“Is

TWENTY FIVE MINUTES UNTIL MIDNIGHT.The car finally came to a halt and from a distance walked Sheriff Stevens accompanied by both Christian and Theodore. In a world that had gone digital, it was surprising that they didn’t show up with a large bag of cash to submit to the mafia Lord but rather just a plain-old cheque.“You’re nothing like i expected” Constantin turned around when he suspected their footsteps had drawn them close enough. The sheriff met his cold gaze with a defensive stance. “I’ll say the same” He muttered and then his eyes roamed both Christian and Theodore who acted like bodyguards. “I thought i told you to come alone” He looked as far as the car but with the silence that enclosed them on this deserted coast, he was moreso convinced. “Do you want your money or not?” Stevens hissed back at him, pulling out the cheque from his pocket and Constantin scoffed from his lips. “I’m not stupid. Bring out all the hostages and then i’ll give you the money.” The sheriff negoti

Stevens dashed across the bordering sign that demarcated Norman and Riverdale with his hands firmly grasping the steering wheel. He was on the edge of his seat but somehow managed to steal a glance at the clock.ONE HOUR UNTIL MIDNIGHT.“We can still make it” Gerald piped forward, drawing the chair behind. Em was at the front seat and she allowed their eyes to meet in a tensive second. “It’s okay” Gerald whispered with an affirmative nod. “It’ll soon be over” He reached to her hands and Theo pushed a hard lump down his throat. All, that on his mind was Joan’s safety and whether or not she was okay. “Do you have the complete money now?” Emily turned to the sheriff, still reeling in the disbelief of how they raised a hundred million dollars in twenty four hours. He nodded, darting a stare back at her. “I mean Harold was the last. He was able to get an upfront deal of about forty for the shares of the Norman hotel. Christian wired my ten and Gerald as well—And your uncle transferred t

The slow jazz pierced through Emily’s ears as she wrapped her hands around Gerald’s neck. Indulged in the dance, she didn’t raise her head but that was until it was his turn to swing her. She moved her hips so elegantly like she was young again and after an hour, she admitted to be wrong because there was something about the dance that eased her tension. The music stopped and there was a round of applause, the same moment that allowed them to intimately look into each other’s eyes. “You were amazing” Gerald whispered but before Em could mutter another word, her eyes caught him.“Klaus!” She blurted out.There he was, by the bar downing a glass of champagne with a younger mistress in his hands. He was headed for the stairs and Emily fixated his eyes on him, unwilling to let him misplace in the colorful crowds. She tried to catch her breath and the hemming of her dress as she moved closer.This place was big, the walls a glittering gold with a low hanging silver chandelier dropping fro

Isabella awoke to a dimly lit candle in the corner of the room.The crimson orange flames flickered in her eyes with a slight pitter-patter sound of the wax burning. It curved to the side and just that single piece was able to warm the room, ridding it of it’s unconducive iciness. She shivered off the remnant cold as she sat up. The heavy chain followed even the slightest movement of her hands, letting out a thunderous clang as she retracted them. Her eyes met Kayla who was quivering in fear just opposite her. “It wasn’t there before” Isa’s voice interrupted the eerily silent room. Her eyes looked pointedly to the candle flame but then suddenly something fell right in front of her.“Oh my God” She clutched her chest, startled to her bones and Kayla let out a shaky scream. The pair of black rubber boots that sauntered towards her drew her attention before whatever it was that was thrown to her. “Take a look” The familiar voice towered over her and Isabella didn’t even need to lift her

“I’m sorry but Mr Sanders left a little while ago” The woman behind the desk pressed her lips together and it was a like a sword of disappointment struck through Emily’s chest. She batted her lashes and then exchanged glares with Gerald.“I’m sorry—to where?” She stuttered.Her hands reached across the counter and she tapped her fingertips into it. “And when will he be getting back?” She asked and the receptionist was a bit reluctant divulging any piece of information for these strangers in front of her. Emily saw the crinkle form between her eyes and a sharp breath escaped her lips.“Look i know you know who i am.”“If not from my last name then perhaps from Klaus telling you never to engage with his own niece if ever she came around. Short, brunette haired with the mouth like a tap is exactly how he would describe me—““I don’t know what you’re talking about” The lady replied.“Well i call bullshit” Emily cussed and Gerald found his hands holding her back. “My daughter, Klaus’ fucki

Leonardo snapped his eyes open with an agonizing pain spearing through his neck and along the veins of his numb limbs. He was carried by two hefty arms into a large, dark room and when he realized that his consciousness was regained after an hour long sedation, he struggled to break free from the grasps of the arms that restrained him. “Where’s Isabella!” Was the first question that he yelled out through his panting lips. He threw his head upon his shoulders as he was dragged, his feet barely an inch from the callous grounds. And then he was thrown in the deepest and darkest part of what seemed to be a dungeon. The beads of sweat that formed across his head tricked down his body and he wiped across his face, lifting his gaze to see the masked men in front of him. Leonardo was short of breath as he staggered to sit up, using his barely formidable arms as a wedge. He was able to lean against the wall as he searched for his breathes.“Where’s Isabella?” He looked around him and there d
