“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
Ralph sat on his usual chair at the dining table waiting for Aurora. He tried his best to concentrate on the meeting but Klara consumed his thoughts and that fucking pie which she made for his birthday defeated him utterly.To be honest, he should be here before dawn but he waited outside the fort for hours struggling with his emotions but when he sensed the change in weather and when the thunders echoed he thought of Klara who is scared of them and drove in immediately. That’s how much she effects him and his thoughts. Cecelia stood at the entrance of dining hall watching Ralph eat the pie with an evil smirk. She slowly retreated into the main hall and climbed the steps to the third floor silently without getting caught by anyone. ‘Klara Roselli! It’s time to destroy you’Aurora stood beside Ralph along with Dylan and Milo watching him finish the pie in seconds. He must be hungry or maybe greedy. Why did he leave if he’s so desperate for Fiona? Master loves to be hard on himsel
Freya curled her body into the corner, her eyes brimming with tears and her heart wailing hysterically thinking about her situation. The most scariest part is Enrico who usually a kind yet playful man turning into a barbarian. The malice in his eyes, the anger that consumed his features and above all…his venomous words and his vicious actions of kidnapping her, everything about him is scaring her a lot and that fear is like an appetizer to Enrico. He twirled her tendrils between his fingers while his thoughts drifted to Klara. She’ll be here soon with him. Finally he’s getting his love and he’ll take her away from everyone. He’ll start a new life with her in a beautiful island away from his family and Ralph. Just the thought of imagining his future with Klara gives him enormous joy and motivation to destroy Ralph. “Ben, what’s the status?”He asked the man guarding the door and Ben bowed humbly after entering the room.“Mr. Roselli is hunting down whole Cylantra to find you boss
“Father! Do it fast”Klara urged Louis who is pressing the keys for the past thirty minutes in lightening speed. Hacking into Dylan’s laptop takes at least one hour because they clear all the traces in it every time they return it to him. So they had to hack into his system using different codes every time they use it. “Patience darling, I am trying my best”Klara paced around the room fiddling with her fingers. She could’ve demanded her own laptop when she had chance but that only makes Ralph more suspicious about her and also he’s nowhere to make demands. Moron!After another thirty minutes of agonizing torture she finally saw her dad who is on the other side.“Dad! Did you find anything about Ralph?”Carl wiped his sweat before shaking his head in defeat. Klara fell back on sofa tired of hearing negative answers for the past one week. Where did the moron go? Why can’t anyone find him? Where the F did he disappear to? Louis rubbed her hand in worry trying to make her feel g
Klara became a lifeless doll with Ralph’s absence. Her personality changed from lively to moody and even her complexion changed a lot in just few days. Aurora is already worried about Ralph and seeing Fiona in a bad shape worried her more and she persuaded the poor girl to eat something so that she can have energy to wait for Ralph in the main hall because that’s what she does most of the time everyday. She sits on the sofa in the main hall or outside the Onyx for hours with the hope of seeing Ralph entering from the main door but her wait is prolonging to many more days but she never let her hope down. Klara had her lunch with great difficulty with Aurora’s persuasion. A week without Ralph is worse than a hell. It’s not that she never lived without him but those times were different. She knew where he is and who he’s with but now she had no clue about him, not even his people.Dylan alone is taking care of the clan with the help of Milo. Cecelia on the other hand is quiet happy
“Aurora, where is Ralph?”Klara asked the old lady who is busy in the kitchen. She searched for his figure after coming down from Louis’s room but couldn’t find him anywhere in the Onyx. “Master left after meeting Mr. Khan” the working woman answered with a frown. Even Aurora is worried about Ralph because she had a very bad feeling about master’s departure as he felt with a face full of half anger and half sadness.“Where to?”“I don’t know”Klara sighed going back to her room. He must’ve left for work. No problem he’ll come back in the evening, she can wait till then. But she didn’t expect the wait to prolong for days. There is no sign of him after that day and even Dylan has no clue about his whereabouts. It’s as if he disappeared into thin air. She urged Dylan to find him after waiting for few days but how can they find him without a way to contact him? Dylan saw Ralph driving out in his jeep three days ago without protection and was worried but he couldn’t do anything bec
“Father, what do you know about Mr. Khan?”Klara asked Louis who just finished his breakfast and sat opposite him on sofa. “Mr. Khan as in Faisal Khan? He’s the ruler of Feriplo. What about him darling?”Louis knew how powerful the Khan’s are but never once initiated to have dealings with them and also the Khan’s are very hard to work with because they never relied on others for centuries. Their ancestors made sure of that. Their fortune is unfathomable. It’s like a genie lamp. “Mr. Khan is working for your son. I don’t know what they are dealing with but I think it’s related to our past”Louis is shocked to know that Faisal Khan is working for Ralph because he never works for anyone not even the president of the country let alone mafia clans. He’s the most arrogant and strong headed Khan in his bloodline. How did Ralph make him succumb? His son is capable of taming the most powerful ruler. He’s very proud of his son. Louis straightened his back, lifting his head high thinkin
“Tell me about your fiancée”All the heads at the dining table turned to Klara. It’s eight in the morning and everyone’s having breakfast peacefully but her question ruined the peace. Dylan and Milo are beginning to feel vexed with breakfast because every time they sit to have a feast, Fiona will ask Ralph something that piss him off and he takes off immediately, not before ordering them to follow him. It’s better if they adapt the life without breakfast. “Just eat”Ralph put another boiled egg into Klara’s plate and gestured her to keep quiet. But will Klara be quiet? Of course not. She turned to Aurora who rarely sits with them to have breakfast and said….“I think you know about her Aurora”Aurora choked on her food and glanced at Ralph who is staring at Klara with his narrowed eyes. She cleared her throat regaining her composure and took a sip of water from the glass before answering Klara. “I….I..”She stuttered unable to speak and pleaded Klara with her eyes to leave he
Klara heaved a sigh as Ralph let her go without doing anything. Her body is beyond exhausted and anymore stimulation can break her into two so she better not provoke the insatiable beast. She just laid beside him who is fuming with rage and helplessness and turned sideways resting her head on his hand and started to speak cautiously.“Father…I mean your father is willing to help you”“I don’t need his help”She punched his chest irritated by his arrogance. Can’t he put aside his pride for once and think? If father is in the light, the enemy will uncover himself. It makes their work easier. “He’s your father. Seeking his help doesn’t make you powerless. Why do you always want to do everything alone? You keep secrets from your own people”“Because I can’t afford to be betrayed again”Ralph snapped freaking Klara. She moved back in fear as he glared at her with his cold eyes. “I lost my mother because of betrayal and do you expect me to repeat the same mistake the man who you ar
Klara knew Ralph is not okay with her talking about Kingsters but how can she get the whole truth without poking his sore spot? So she can’t do anything. “I don’t have any reason to spare them and they aren’t innocent either”Klara pouted hearing his mean words and grabbed his jaw, shaking it a little making him look into her eyes. “Your dad said otherwise”Ralph rolled his eyes swirling her tendrils between his fingers enjoying her hands on his cheeks. “He’s a lost cause” He said nonchalantly to which Klara slapped his hand away angrily. How dare he to say that about father Louis? He’s becoming more and more bold and reckless by scolding his own father.“You are not the only one who lost her Ralph. She’s the love of your dad’s life. Imagine his loneliness without her all these years. If he’s still defending Kingsters then it means they weren’t the villains and aren’t the one”Ralph sat up removing her hand from his face. The reason he hates his dad is not because he’s defen
