“Hey calm down Darla”Neil rubbed her back soothingly hoping to stop her but she moved away from his touch snuggling more into Klara’s embrace. Her actions not only shocked Neil but also Klara. Why did Darla avoid Neil’s touch? She gave a questioning look at Neil before patting Darla’s back whispering calm words in her ears. Neil is really ghosted now. He didn’t do anything that angers Darla. If in case she’s angry because he didn’t tell her about Fiona’s return then he’s ready to apologize. His mind and focus were completely on Fiona and the thought of informing Darla just vanished from his brain. “I’m sorry Darla. I didn’t mean to hide about Fiona. I..” He apologized immediately as he didn’t want to see Darla upset but his apology only angered her more.“Just shut the fuck up and leave me alone” yelled Darla still crying in Klara’s embrace. This time even Klara felt Darla is being unreasonable because as long as she remembered Darla never talked to Neil rudely and Neil would n
“Neil! Whatever you’re thinking to do. Just stop it” warned Klara seriously because she can tell from his expression how vexed he is at Gwen’s actions. But if Neil confronted Gwen, it only causes more damage than solving their problem. Gwen is always so obsessed with Neil and would be clingy wherever they go and they’re all used to that. She can understand why Gwen is acting irrationally because if Ralph ghosted her or angered her, she would turn the Onyx upside down till he came to her but definitely wouldn’t become a psychopath like Gwen. Psychopaths should be dealt gently and with smartness. If Neil said something that upsets Gwen, who knows what sin she would commit. Neil sighed in defeat taking his seat beside Darla and hugged her. His carelessness hurt his friends and it’s killing him from inside. If he didn’t ghost Gwen and talked to her like an adult, she wouldn’t have gone to Darla to vent her anger. Because of him, Darla who never cried, wailed till her face flushed red
“I’ll take my leave and will inform you about the progress”Klara nodded fisting her hands, restraining herself from dusting her body. It’s her natural reflex. She can’t help it. Period. Neil turned to leave but stopped after taking two steps.“How can I contact you?”He tried to call her many times but it straight went to voice box and texted her but he never received her reply but she’s always been active on her social media. He just didn’t get why she’s not responding to him.“Oh..that…they confiscated my mobile” said Klara embarrassed. She asked Ralph to give back her mobile but he rejected her bluntly. She told him, she wouldn’t do anything and if he doubts her, he can stay by her side when she does her work but still he’s adamant. Moron!“What?” How can they restrict her freedom and if she’s forbidden to use her mobile then who is active on social media. “So rude. I know. That’s the reason I used mom’s phone to text Darla” sulked Klara thinking about Ralph and his subo
The cosy sun rays from the window fell on her busy figure complementing her fair skin resembling an ancient golden sculpture. She squinted her eyes blocking the sunlight which is piercing her eyes as the wind blew past her making her hair flow in the air like ocean tides, some of the tendrils stuck to her face and his knees went weak looking at the ethereal beautyEnrico was enchanted by her glorious look. His eyes shone like stars as her golden figure filled his sight. Such a perfect angel, he would start a war to own her all by himself. He didn’t blink his eyes as his heart captured her every movement from her sweating forehead which she wiped with the back of her hand to her stuck out tounge between her teeth when she accidentally spilled ketchup on the counter. She sighed heaving her chest up and down before taking the kitchen wipe to clean the stain. All her movements were running like a slow motion film to Enrico, he blinked his eyes when she lifted her head gesturing him to
“I think this is it”Enrico pointed at a romantic film which was once Klara’s favourite but she is not in the mood to watch it as she’s mad at him because when she asked him about Luc, he said he’s having hard time, thus she told him to leave so that he can be there for their family but look at him being so unbothered and is in the mood to watch a film, a f-ing romantic film. Can he be anymore serious? “Our family suffered a great loss Ric. How can you be in the mood to watch romantic films? Here I am hating myself for not being able to be with them but look at you….you’re trying to have fun while Luc is busy dealing with our clients alone. What’s going on with you?”She’s happy to see Enrico but this is not the time to party when Kingsters is in chaos. Kingsters need him to stabilize the situation. Why is he here? He should be with Luc instead of playing games with her. “I am not a superhero with superpowers to solve our loss in just few hours Klara. I am more worried about our
Klara locked her door bringing her forehead in contact with the door closing her eyes. How long will it take to achieve her goals? She’s tired already. To be honest, at some point she also accused herself for being selfish. She did have a thought to make Ralph fall in love with her before going to Cylantra but after meeting him personally, she knew it’s impossible.He's more colder than he was in the past. He cares nothing but his vengeance. She is relying on the last hope of thread which is Ralph treating her as Klara’s replacement and it gave her chance to get close to him. She need to use her identity as Fiona to her full advantage. Not everything goes according to our own wishes all the time. She thought she can marry Ralph in the past but now he’s treating her family as his enemies. She is in the middle of the ocean now, she didn’t have a choice but to swim to the other end hoping to reach her desired destiny. She neither can stop her journey in case she didn’t want to be drow
“Luc…”Lucas hit the steering wheel hearing her trembling voice. If Milo saw Enrico then all their struggles would go in vain because Milo would immediately inform Ralph about Ric’s visit to Klara which will mess all their plans.“Klara calm down. Trust me, everything will be fine”Klara sat on the chair clutching her hair as sweat dripped from her forehead. She shouldn’t have let him leave. How can she forget about Milo? He is just outside her home.“Fiona what’s going on? You are scaring us”Logan held Klara’s cheeks making her look at him. Klara blamed herself for worrying the old couple but she couldn’t help her anxiety.“Dad! Milo is outside. What if he saw Ric?”Logan and Victoria heaved a sigh sharing a look. They shook their heads holding her closer to them. “Sweetheart. How can we let him leave like that? I lend my clothes to him and made sure that he’s fully covered before letting him go”Luc hit the brakes listening to Logan’s explanation. He breathed heavily lean
“I am still breathing dumbass. Would he still let me live if he knew who I am? For god sake even our family didn’t know about my existence till I took the initiative to meet dad. How can Ralph know about me? Maybe he’s really interested in me AKA Fiona Wilson”Now Lucas believed her as it’s true that they didn’t know about her till she met dad in the graveyard. It’s really one in million possibilities that Ralph would know about her. “Fine girl, just be careful. You don’t have to put up with his shit. Remember you have us”“I know Luc. Don’t be so hard on Ric”Though Ric crossed his line by accusing her, she didn’t want her brother to rebuke him because given with his personality Ric would retaliate which is very disastrous for them. “I know how to deal with him, it’s just that he loves you so much that he couldn’t accept you being with Ralph”Klara rubbed her forehead as she can feel a headache coming on. She shouldn’t have lied to Ric about Ralph. If she’d been clear about w
“You are going to be alone for the rest of your life with this attitude of yours. You are not going to find peace, happiness and salvation…”Klara who opened the door heard Luc’s words and her eyes stormed with fire. She pushed Ralph who is hovering over her in concern out of her way and darted towards her brother. Lucas is startled by Klara’s sudden appearance and the way she’s coming at him…he is horrified to see his sister raging like a bull. Before he can apologise her for his loose tounge, she grabbed his collar and rose him to his feet. Her action alerted Luc’s men and they pointed their guns at Klara and immediately Ralph’s men aimed their guns at Luc’s men. Lucas gestured his men to put their guns down and looked down at his angry sister. “How dare you Lucas Roselli?” Klara said clenching his shirt in her fist, her eyes red from anger. “I…I didn’t…”“Shut up! He is not alone. Did you hear me? HE IS NOT ALONE. And if anyone who’s going to end up alone…it is YOU, not h
Lucas’ office fell into silence as Ralph’s words startled Klara who lost her soul instantly thinking about what he said. What if the bullet pierced through his heart? Her world started to crumble just imagining his loss but if he’s really de…..no way. No f-ing way would she allow him to leave this world before her. Ralph frowned sensing Klara’s silence. He just tried to test her limits but didn’t expect to see her depressed. Did she take his words seriously?“What happened little wolf?” he asked grabbing her chin and tried to tilt it towards him but Klara shook her head getting down from him.“You may continue your talk, I need a moment”She said and went to the restroom walking around the room so naturally as if she’d come here countless times which she actually did because she came to Luc’s office very often in the past. Lucas sighed staring at his sister’s back. When did she become sensitive? Just few provoking words from Ralph changed her entire mood. He turned to Ralph get
Klara felt so good talking to her friends after a long time and knowing that they’re living their life in their way, she couldn’t express her joy in words. And in their conversation, Neil asked her if she needed anything from Diston as he’s currently living there…She thought about the list but Ralph already bought her everything she needed except paint brushes, so she asked him to buy them for her as he’ll be back in three months. If she’d known about Ralph’s Diston trip, she would’ve asked him to get them from Neil. It’s been more than a month since she talked to Neil, he would’ve bought them for her but what’s the use…..she can’t use them until two months. While she’s sulking over her loss, Ralph’s anger returned and he turned around Klara roughly clutching her jaw, glaring at her with his rage filled eyes. “Ask me if you need anything. Why did you seek that kid’s help?”Klara didn’t expect Ralph to react this way but she didn’t get angry instead she chuckled patting Ralph’s
“What are you doing?” Klara covered her body with her hands looking at Ralph warily. He started undressing her as soon as he placed her on his bed. Is he really that horny? For god sake she’s injured. Ralph pinched his nose bridge feeling tired. She is not making it any easier for him. He just wanted to check her body for other injuries. “Show me your bruises” Klara gave an embarrassed smile for misunderstanding him and undressed herself slowly. She didn’t have a scratch on her face but her torso is planted with few small green patches and the one on her ribcage stood out among them. She winced removing her pants as Cecelia kicked her thigh hard once. She cursed in low voice and pulled down her pants slowly, there it is another bruise. She lifted her head feeling the temperature drop around her. Oh no! The moron is angry but she can’t avoid bruises during a fight. She isn’t embarrassed or ashamed of these tiny wounds on the contrary she is very proud as she made her
“You..”Aiden watched helplessly as Lucas restrained Freya in his embrace and lifted his fist to punch Lucas but Freya stopped him in time. “Aiden no. I am alright”She said and then turned to Lucas who is burning with rage as his eyes bore holes on Aiden. Freya knew that look, he’s on his limits. She didn’t want them to pick a fight for no reason and she didn’t have strength to deal with them now. She didn’t even have strength to free herself from his embrace as she is tucked under his armpit like a chick under hen’s wing. “Mr. Roselli what…”Lucas shot her a death glare making her shut her mouth. Aiden didn’t like Luc’s actions and tried to snatch her back but Freya stopped him again and gestured him to stay still. “Tell him to fuck off”Freya shivered hearing Luc’s angry voice and gulped gesturing Aiden to wait in car but he’s adamant. “Ad, please”She said helplessly and pleaded him with her eyes. Aiden grunted in frustration and left gritting his teeth but not befo
Freya lived her life to the fullest in every phase. Take it her school, college and office….she faced all the hurdles with courage and passed them in determination. She wasn’t born with silver spoon but she did earn a lot after getting job and settled her parents with a business. She has a life full of emotions….joy, happiness, sadness, fear, anger, everything but love never had a part in it. She became strong with each passing day and with each difficulty she faced but why is it hard to face Lucas? Why can’t she push him away? Why can’t she just….she didn’t know what to do with her broken heart and with the courage she gathered for the past few days… she came to Lucas to have her freedom from the shackles she bound herself.“Mr. Roselli”She braced herself and called him again when Lucas didn’t respond to her. She would’ve thought he didn’t acknowledge her presence if it isn’t for his change in stance from playful to stern.Looks like he’s happy without her. A mere sight of her
Ralph’s breath caught in his throat when he saw the bruise on Klara’s body. He rushed to her side and picked her up swiftly, taking her upstairs. “Wait! I…”Klara looked at Aurora and then at Ralph in worry. Didn’t he see her condition? Why is he not letting her get treated? And the way he held her, it’s embarrassing. She’s not a kid to carry her like this. Even Aurora got tensed because they still has to make pie and Klara is injured. She didn’t know what to do as Master is taking her. But why? Why is he taking her away while she’s helping her with the ice bag? “Fiona! What about the p…”“Hush!”Klara shushed Aurora before she can finish her words. Ralph halted his steps, taking his time to look at Klara in his arms and at Aurora who is fidgeting with her dress nervously. He furrowed his brows and asked her in his usual cold tone. “What is it?”Klara supported her body on his hands and cupped his chin showing him her best smile and whispered mischievously.“Secret”Ralph
Ralph stormed into his room feeling disturbed by the kiss. He removed his suit and unbuttoned his top button exposing his neck and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Where did the Ralph Erikson who frightens people with a single glare go? Where is the man who used to rule an entire empire of more than hundred people go? Instead he's seeing someone who is unfamiliar yet glowing man who is driven by emotions. He groaned in frustration rubbing his swollen lips and red ears to wipe away the blush. “Fuck it”He cursed walking back to the bed and collapsed on it running his fingers through his hair thinking about the kiss. It’s over. Klara made him her puppet and he lost his self control he preserved for years surrendering to her kiss. He used to be the man who kills men with the sword but now he is using the same sword to cut flowers for his little wolf. That’s how she influenced him. “Damn you woman”He sat up still feeling the tingles on his lips. She did something to him with
“What the fuck are you talking about?”Ralph lost his patience and yelled at Klara earning gasps from the crowd. Mistress! Mistress! Who the fuck is that damn mistress? He never had a mistress for fuck sake.“The truth”Klara said turning to the people who are very immersed in the argument. She isn’t offended by Ralph’s harsh yet rude tone because she’s close to unveiling Cecelia’s proud mask. So what if she couldn’t defeat her physically? She can take away her pride and arrogance. This is called the real win. “The truth about the identity of your mistress AKA Ms. Cecelia Sabella”Cecelia rose to her knees shaking her head in denial. She better do something before that bitch spouts nonsense. She shouldn’t let Master misunderstand her. “Ms. Wilson! I do not understand how you got this information but let me assure you, I would never dream of becoming the mistress. I am certain”Of course she is aiming for the queen position. Klara is well aware of her scheme but she’ll unmask
