She still remembered her dad’s broken words because he was trying to be strong in front of her and didn’t shed tears as he spoke but she knew him and how much he loves dad Louis and would in any case do nothing to him. They both grew up together and been with each other even before she was born and Ralph or every member of their family joined them. He will never do that.She instantly wrapped her arms around his torso and patted his back in a slow and soothing rhythm while crying along with his silently tearing up eyes and murmured continuously, “I trust you, dad. I trust you.”Seeing him like this and reliving dad Louis’s and mom Julia’s death through his words and Ralph’s pain despite the vengeful path he chose wrenched her heart but the only reprieve is that all those things she heard and read for years were not true. Her dad has nothing to do with the blame rubbed on him.And as for Matthew, how did Ralph even think he participated anyhow in killing his parents anyway? Ralph’s mot
A lonesome life for ten years that built a volcano within him, filled with hatred and vengeance ready to erupt any time sure changed Ralph into a gruesome person. Despite all that pain, she believes Ralph has a heart of gold just like his eyes, pure and bright. Harming people who aren’t related to his parent’s death was not his thing. Knowing well about this principle of Ralph, Fiona thought of a scheme to escape from her unfortunate fate. She should use his rules against him to have her freedom. She was a common girl and had nothing to do with his parent’s death and thus, he shouldn’t force her to stay in his fort against her will. They say he is a man of his word so now it’s his time to prove it by his actions. Looking at the dark yet starry night from the window, she cuddled more into herself as her mind further drifted away to the many possibilities that can ruin her life. The most reasonable one is her dad finding out about her kidnap and coming after the BlackWolf clan in a fi
“I think you’re done with your job”Sensing Cecelia’s anger and her initiative to start verbal war, Dylan chose to side Fiona. Swallowing the sour feeling in her throat Cecelia left to her quarters. She just had the opportunity to enter the third floor, she shouldn’t fuck her chance. Today was really odd. Bringing a teenage girl for silly reason, touching her face, locking her in and allowing her into the restricted area, not summoning anyone to the pleasure room..This was not his routine. What has changed? And for fuck sake where did he go at this hour alone? It’s midnight already. There were times he left in the middle of the night in his personal jeep to God knows where. He’s always unforeseeable and not knowing about his late nights affairs bugged her every time.Shutting the door, Cecelia poured herself a glass of whiskey and downed it in one go. Her throat burnt but she downed another glass and another. Finally after numbing her body with the booze to avoid all the unnecessary
The morning air is heavy with humidity as it’s very sunny in Cylantra. Ralph stood under the tree with sweat dripping body whispering few instructions to Dylan after the inspection in the training ground.Taking the handkerchief from his pocket, he wiped the sweat around his neck and thought about the little wolf in the Onyx. Her room isn’t air conditioned, she must've experienced a terrible night. Eager to see the agitated look on the new guest, he took a quick shower and had breakfast before entering her room.He expected to see a wailing child, begging him to let her go, unable to endure the injustice she suffered as soon as he opened the door but to his surprise she came out of the bathroom, refreshing and stunning as a runway model. The clothes looked so good on her, showing off her curvaceous body which she hid with an oversize T shirt when she was forced to come here yesterday and many other days when he saw her in Kandon.Cecelia brought these clothes as the females in the for
It took Cecelia four years to be designated as fourth in command. Even though she met Ralph earlier than Dylan and Milo, she couldn’t get his trust like those bastards to share his secrets. She accepted his rules to join his clan and stood out in all tasks assigned and became worthy to be his fourth in command but she wanted more. She wanted to know about him, his secrets, his strategies and his body but she always remained as a member of the clan.Dylan and Milo were the only ones who spent more time with Ralph at the beginning of the clan establishment. Using Dylan and Milo was part of her plan to get the information from them, so that she can help Ralph with more tasks and make him look at her but they’re useless. She shouldn’t have placed her bet on them to have a good word in front of Ralph because he can’t be influenced.Rather than wasting her time on Dylan and Milo, she focused on strengthening her body and mind, learning all the skills required to par with strongest opponents
“Are you even listening to what I am saying?”Matthew who’s explaining about the upcoming shipping deal to his son was angered due to the lack of concentration of his son who kept staring out of the window deep in thoughts from the moment he entered his study. Enrico wasn’t upset for being yelled but rather grateful for having his dad’s full attention for once. “Why do you think Carl stopped protecting Klara?”He finally asked the question which is bugging him since yesterday. Carl was always vigilant about Klara and would never, not even in his dreams would he call off the security around her. It never happened in four years after having back Klara but why now? In addition to that, Carl had a word with him the other night when he came back from Kandon after visiting Klara, and that is not to meet her till he had Carl’s consent. But why? Why did Carl stop him from seeing Klara? Even though the truth is bitter, he knew Klara never reciprocated to his feelings yet he shamelessly confe
Enrico knocked on the door and a deep masculine voice reached his ears from inside giving him permission to enter. Ric pushed open the door and saw Lucas working on his system.Roselli siblings were born to capture million hearts with their charisma. Look at the man at the desk who is working with utter seriousness. He has a brawny structure with sun kissed skin and veiny hands with long fingers which are now typing rapidly on the keypad.There is a little birth mark just beside his right eye, adding excess attractiveness to those soft yet domineering black eyes that are as dark as a gloomy night. His pitch black hair is parted in the middle letting a few strands fall on either side of his forehead covering his thick eyebrows partially.His lower lip is slightly swollen than the upper one making it more luscious while his cheeks are slightly chubby giving his face a soft look. He’s complete opposite to his fierce sister. Ric blinked his eyes and made his way towards Lucas who gave him
“Luc, do you really want Klara to be with him? She doesn’t even like to talk about him let alone share her life with him”“They are destined Ric and Klara needs him, whether she liked him or not” yelled Luc with non negotiable tone which shocked Ric.“How can you say that?”“My instinct. As her brother, I know who can protect her”Lucas closed his eyes as realisation dawned on him. He didn’t mean to hurt Enrico.“Ric, I am sorry but Klara never saw you in other way. You are like her brother”“I am full Luc. I am going to the port. Meet you there”“Ric! Ric stop!”Enrico ignored Lucas and exited the study slamming the door shut. Everyone is against his relationship with Klara. He thought Lucas, his best buddy can help him but he still believes in Ralph - their enemy than his best brother who he grew up together. This feeling is worst than the backstabbing.Lucas lost his appetite after seeing Enrico’s hurt face. He knew Ric held feelings for his sister but Klara is meant for Ralph. He
Louis is totally confused not because of Klara’s story but about Ralph’s behaviour. Why did Ralph lie to him about Klara if she’s alive all along? Since he knew that she’s alive why didn’t he marry her as they’re already engaged. Why did he kidnap a civilian disregarding his rules? His brain worked faster than his heart arousing many suspicions but hearing Klara’s words, he put his suspicions aside enjoying his darling daughter’s company. “I missed you father”“I missed you too Klara”After staying in his embrace for a while, Klara decided to tell about Ralph’s misunderstanding regarding her dad and also about her newly found conjecture. There is no point in delaying the matter in hands. The earlier they resolve the issue the earlier they can unite to defeat Rocco.Luc told her about Rocco targeting Kingsters when she met him few days ago using secret passage. Talking about secret passage…God!! Ralph’s equipment and his intelligence is on whole another level.She always wonder
Klara couldn’t imagine Louis’ pain that he endured for ten years because no one believed in him, not even his own son. In addition to that he lost his wife and his only family. The pain is unbearable to even imagine his situation. Her heart shook seeing his bitter smile and when he told her that it’s okay if she didn’t trust him, his words really pierced her already bleeding heart. She held his hands and brought them to her lips. “I trust you. I trust you”She repeated her words kissing his hands assuring him that she believed in him. Louis didn’t expect such strong reaction from her but his lips stretched a little knowing that someone finally put their trust in him. She didn’t seem to be lying because her sincerity can’t be faked. Klara lifted her head from Louis’s hands and looked at Julia’s portrait with teary eyes.“I can tell how much you love your wife from the way you painted her. You can’t be the reason for her demise. I am sorry that you lost her”Klara never liked t
On Klara’s birthday Louis wanted to reconcile with Carl but on the way back home he received a call from an unknown number, telling him about the attack of Rocco on Lillium. The news shocked him and he immediately drove home ignoring Ralph who is begging him to leave Julia behind but he didn’t listen to his pleas and drove to the destination in full speed.He was horrified to see their home in fire as soon as he entered the compound wall, without wasting a second he barged in to help his family. He saw Matthew carrying Luc and Ric while Kate and Daisy were behind him trying to escape. He didn’t see Klara with them and Kate told him that she wasn’t in her room. Just then Ralph came to their side and asked Louis to check his own room for Klara. Louis loved Klara a lot even before she was born. She’s the only girl among the kids and he felt responsible for her, to protect her. He thought his son would take over that responsibility by marrying her so he engaged both of them when they
“What made you think like that?”Ralph cared about him? Louis couldn’t even imagine his son’s care let alone feel it. Fiona peaked his interest with her witty nature. And there is someone hiding behind that beautiful face. He might be alone and away from underworld but he was once a leader of a clan, of course he knew she’s more than just Fiona otherwise how would his son fall for her? “You’re still here in one piece, still breathing”Klara answered making Louis chuckle and he gestured her to sit on the stool beside him while he painted his wife. Klara did as he said and pointed her eyes at the paints on the ground. “He is the one who bought these paints for you”“Really?”Though Louis is surprised he didn’t show it on his face but deep down he felt happy knowing that his son bought his paints. Ralph isn’t cold as he looks it seems. “You haven’t had your lunch”Klara looked at the untouched food on the nightstand with a frown and Louis sighed pulling away from his thought
“Why are you here?”Louis asked folding his arms and leaned on the wall which reminded Klara of Ralph who does same thing when he enquires her. “I’m here to see you”She answered taking her time to admire his works one by one hiding her feelings in her eyes. Father Louis is alive and is talking to her. She still can’t believe her eyes and ears. She is overwhelmed and wanted to tell him who she really is but…“Why?”Louis liked this girl already. She must’ve wrapped his son around her fingers otherwise how can his stony son let her meet him. All these years the only person he came in contact with is Aurora. Never once his son came to see him after putting him in this room. Well actually, it’s not Ralph who forced him to stay here. He himself chose to be in hiatus, not wanting to face the people he cared. He didn’t know what happened but Ralph also wanted to hide him from the outside world. So he didn’t let anyone to come upstairs except Aurora who delivers him meals everyday wi
Klara is hurt so badly because of Ralph’s actions and she wanted to get away from him, to escape where he couldn’t reach her and the first such place came to her mind is the top floor. Aurora told her once that Ralph never went upstairs in all these years, not even once. Even the secret passage in the Onyx isn’t connected to the top floor so what Aurora said is true. She didn’t give a shit about Ralph’s warning and straight climbed the steps.She can feel her racing heartbeat as soon as the alarms beeped. The worst day of her life replayed in her mind giving shivers to her spine but she mustered up her courage determined to run away from Ralph.Once she stepped on the last step, she patted her chest heaving a sigh looking down the railings. He didn’t come up or crash landed in front of her like he did on the other day because she still remembered his sudden appearance from that day. How did he manage to climb all the four stairs in seconds? That’s still a miracle to her. She rea
“I’m in a meeting”Klara’s smile dropped and her lips formed a pout hearing Ralph’s stony voice. She knew he’s in the meeting but she spent hours in the kitchen to make this for him, just for him. One bite wouldn’t cost him a penny. She’ll leave after feeding him.“I know….just taste it once. Please…”She expected to see numerous expressions on his face after knowing about what she made for him, to surprise him but he disappointed her. He never once lowered his eyes to see what she held in her hands. She never pleased anyone in her entire life but now she is pleading Ralph to eat the pie she made so that he could compliment her, to look her with appreciation in his eyes and to feel her care, to feel that he’s not alone, to remind him of his childhood but why is he being so stubborn? Why can’t he just take a bite of what she made? Or at least spare a glance at what’s in her hands? Ralph can smell a familiar sweetness in the air as he inhaled but his anger crowded his senses. He
‘There is no movement from Rocco’s side Master but our men informed me about the suspicious transport of people and weapons to Andarc. We couldn’t find the exact location of the destination but we’ll try our best’Ralph burned the paper as soon as he read the content and nodded at Mr. Khan who sat opposite him. “I heard about the attack Master”Mr. Khan said with caution because he’s afraid that Ralph would get mad hearing about the attack. There is a rumour that’s been spreading in the underworld about Ralph’s incompetence. He’s shocked when he got the news about Ralph backing away from buying the paintings and lost the bidding to Xavier Haffman. The Ralph he knew would never lose the battle let alone a bid. And on top of that he didn’t go alone to the auction. If Ralph embarrassed the young lady who the city is assuming as his mistress then she’s not the special one to him which means his daughter still got a chance with Ralph. But first he should know why Ralph is letting t
Ralph looked at the woman who is jumping like a deer in the kitchen creating a havoc. He just came back from the training session searching for her figure as she ditched her class for some unknown reason.After the auction incident, the relationship between Ralph and Klara seemed to be improved a lot and he even turned a blind eye to whatever she does using his equipment. As expected she used his secret passage to leave the fort to meet Lucas when he was out in the afternoon the other day. After her return she looked happy, it seems like she reconciled with her brother.He isn’t scared of her betrayal anymore. Her happiness matters. Mr. Khan is close to find Rocco’s location and it wouldn’t be long before he gets the closure about his ten years of vengeance. The rest of the things can be discussed later. “What’s going on here?” He asked and Klara who covered whatever she’s making with the lids even before he can make his way into the kitchen, turned around flaring her nostrils a
