The change in atmosphere around Klara didn’t stop her from exploring her surroundings like a curious cat. She’s not new to night clubs but she never visited one that solely belonged to dark world and having a night out with Ralph has something to do with the excitement that’s brewing in her. Spending time outside the fort wouldn’t happen often so she wants to enjoy as much as possible. The bizarre situation outside the casino didn’t die down yet. Even though it’s hard to see Klara’s face as the lights were dim, people can tell she is pretty from her slender legs and graceful walk. Her waist length hair bounced as she swayed her hips. Ralph must’ve been obsessed with her and his possessiveness was evident when he covered her body with his own suit. It’s not the first time that Ralph was seen with woman around him. His third in command Cecelia would be with him most of the times and his clan people would stay by his side in some cases but they can tell from one look that they were
Four men with guns guarded the suite 23 and upon seeing Ralph they straightened their backs with shocked filled eyes and one of them immediately took out his mobile to inform about Ralph’s arrival and in seconds the door was opened letting them inside. Klara was busy prying open Ralph’s fingers from behind him, trying to pull him back as he dragged her into the suite that she didn’t notice the people at the door who possessed guns with Kingsters symbol because her focus was totally on her escape. The guards thought she’s Ralph’s fling for the night even though it shocked them that he came with a girl for the first time. Klara bit her lower lip using every ounce of her strength to stand back but Ralph yanked her in easily with just a tug. She gasped as she crashed into his back and her heart thumped against her chest when the door was shut behind her. She dug her nails into his hand gritting her teeth but he only tightened his hold taking her deeper into the room. What is he eati
Lucas wouldn’t have kissed Freya if it’s any other day but he just wants to irritate Ralph but the bastard seemed unaffected. What’s going on with him today? Why are things going against his way? First it’s Freya and now Ralph. Why are they not reacting in the way he wanted? Just when he wanted to pull back from Freya, a squeal more like an angry shout pulled him back before he can and he broke the kiss in a hurry whipping his head to see a woman in a suit, a suit of a man. As his eyes travelled to the woman’s face…fuck…she is Klara, his sister. Blood drained from his face and his mind went blank like a bucket of ice water poured on him. His lips parted to form words but none came out. What the hell is Klara doing here? How….Klara fisted Ralph’s suit suppressing her unveiling anger. Disgraceful brat! Doesn’t he know the risk of indulging himself in lust in public? She moved her eyes to the woman beside him whose eyes were already brimmed with tears but she didn’t let them fall stu
The tension in the air grew more gruesome. Though Klara tried to warn her brother, the stupid is unwilling to back down. Ralph knew Lucas wasn’t a pushover especially in the presence of Klara because he always wanted to be a hero in front of her to make her believe he’s the big brother who will protect her. It’s actually true but still Ralph wanted Klara’s eyes to be filled with him.The nerve of that brat to call him by his full name. Only Roselli siblings are brave enough to provoke him without having a hole in their heads. He knew Luc was very protective of Klara so don’t blame him if he touched his weak spot.And also he liked when his girl defended him with her venomous tounge. Even though she did it to control Luc he still felt a bit better seeing Lucas sulk. He enjoyed the visual of Luc’s tensed shoulders, trembling hands and helpless look. No matter how powerful or handsome Lucas is, he would never go against his sister. Ralph moved his hand which is on Klara’s shoulder to h
Klara felt her world crumble and the only thing that made her sober was Ralph’s intense gaze. His eyes were so deep and hid so many emotions behind them but she felt he’s seeing right through her soul.His words kept revolving around her head like a roller coaster and the more she looked at him the more her heart ached. Ralph saw her dad pushing mother Julia into the fire…..The truth devastated her.She blinked her eyes afraid that he would catch her true feelings. She thought Ralph was angry with them for kicking out Father Louis from Golden Eagle clan but that’s not the case.Even though the truth destroyed all her crystal castles she built all these years, she has to accept it. Ralph didn’t accuse her dad based on his hypothetical theory but he witnessed his mother burning in fire. He is so sure about what he saw and he wasn’t even willing to think of other possibility because if he did they would’ve been together by now.There is no way Ralph would treat them as his family again a
“Lucas let’s talk”Ralph said ignoring Ric because he didn’t come here just to let Klara know the truth but to talk to Lucas about the powerhouse attack and as for the matter of Ric killing his men, they will eventually come to plea him. For now he'll just discuss about the matters in hand. Even though the powerhouse is fruit of Ric’s hard work. Lucas was the one who handles Kingsters mostly. He didn’t want Lucas to live in shadows, he should know there is someone out there who is targeting Kingsters other than BlackWolf clan.Lucas didn’t bother to respond to Ralph as he was still mad at him for accusing Carl as murderer. On top of that he made Klara sad with the fucking revelation. “Nothing interesting Ric. He is leaving”The meaning behind his words was obvious, he isn’t interested to talk and Ralph can leave. Enrico scoffed crossing his legs eyeing at Ralph with mocking gaze.Klara who stood at the door didn’t defend Ralph because she didn’t know what to do or think becaus
The feeling of betrayal is worst than any other feeling on the earth. It’s bitter, heart wrenching and extremely disgusting. How can her dad not say the whole truth? Why did he hide about the fact that Ralph is accusing him because of eye witness but not baseless rumours? She always thought she can change Ralph’s heart but how can she do that now? He’s damn sure about what he saw and he’s a maniac who wouldn’t listen to anyone. She’s two hundred percent sure that her dad didn’t kill mother Julia and if the roles were reserved she would question her own eyes than accuse father Louis but Ralph is upset with her dad for misunderstanding his dad and then a lot happened after that which is coincidental and unbeknownst to them, everything collapsed before they can even understand what’s happening around them.She endured a lot to reunite Ralph with her family and now everything seems useless. The heartbreaks she went through, the humiliation she got from him, the pain she endured, the mi
Ralph took a step back in a heartbeat letting go off Klara completely. He looked at her who is staring at the ground as her hands rested down slowly on either side of her body. Her words ‘I have to go’ were simple and straight but why can’t he accept them? He waited for a whole minute to have a reaction from her but she just stood without moving an inch. An agonizing growl left his chest before he stormed towards the other side of the corridor.Klara flinched at the cold air that hit from his sudden departure. She lifted her quivering lashes to see his stiff back. She can sense his turmoil from afar but still she couldn’t bring herself to follow him. It's as if she was glued to that place, her face expressionless, unfocused eyes, shallow breaths. The sound from the slammed door finally woke her up from her stupor. She tried to move but she felt an invisible force binding her making her immobile. She couldn’t do anything but stand where she was but her eyes were locked on the clos
Roselli’s stood in the lounge room watching Matthew who is sobbing in Carl’s embrace. The poor man is totally devastated by his wife and son. They don’t know whether to console him or to pity him for having a wife with psychological disorder and son with greediness. But Klara’s focus is completely on a different person.“Where did Daisy go Matthew?”She asked looking at the direction Daisy just left. Ric kidnapped a woman and the house is in chaos but Daisy still went out like she doesn’t care about anything that’s happening around her. She couldn’t have doubted Daisy if it’s just a random outing because she had a handbag with her and also put on an overcoat including a hat which tells that she just came home from a place and also she said that she didn’t know what Ric did but how did she knew about Freya being kidnapped? “Her driver told me that she went to the hospital” Matthew said wiping his tears.Hospital? Luc and Klara shared a look, slowly realizing something. “Since
“Dad! Where is Lucas?”Klara asked as soon as she barged into the study of her brother removing her overcoat and saw her parents talking to each other in worry. Carl who is immersed in the conversation with his wife Kate is shocked to see Klara and so is Kate. “What happened to you?”Roselli couple surrounded her in worry, terrified to see her complexion. She’s completely drenched in the rain with her messy hair stuck to her neck, face full of rashes and her eyes are red as if she cried for a long time. She’s all fine when he face timed her this evening. What happened to her now? Did she meet with an accident on the way back home? He knew she’s scared of thunders and still let her come alone to help them in heavy rain putting aside her fear. How can he be so cruel to his own daughter? The weather is very bad and it’s not just rain but a cyclone out there. How difficult would it have been for her to reach home?“I am fine dad. Just call Luc”Klara said panting heavily still cat
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
