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
“I want to go back”Klara finally mustered up her courage and spoke the words she prepared ahead. Her words were like an atom bomb that dropped on Ralph’s head. Though he is used to the physical pain, because of his emotional turmoil he felt the pain unbearable at this moment. “Go back where?” He asked boring his gaze on her which pierced her skin like a sword. He knew what she meant but still he chose to think otherwise. “To K..Kand…”He crashed his lips on her even before she can finish her words and fisted her hair crushing her body to the wall. He clutched her jaw restraining her struggles and devoured her lips like a ferocious beast.Klara extended her hands to push him away instinctively and placed her hands on his chest exerting pressure to push him but felt the wetness of his blood and in the next second she heard his painful groan breaking the kiss.“You can’t keep me with you forever”She whispered as soon as Ralph left her lips still placing her hands on his chest
Klara crawled out in a hurry once Lucas signalled her that they were alone. She gulped down the water bottle placed on the table in one go to calm her nerves. This is the worst timing ever.Lucas adjusted the air conditioning when he saw his baby sister sweating. He took the tissues and wiped her sweat while she rested on the sofa with a racing heart. Enrico stood aside without uttering a word and looked at the siblings waiting for Klara to speak. He was hurt by Lucas as he hid few things from him but Ralph knew them for fuck sake. When Luc warned Ralph to not hurt someone, a woman who he didn’t know, he was beyond shocked. His best buddy for twenty some years has a woman he cared and he isn’t aware of her. He thought they were best friends and brothers but Luc never treated him like one. He has faith in Ralph to take care of Klara but not him. And he didn’t tell him about his lover which is like adding salt to his wound. “I am leaving tomorrow”Klara finally opened her mouth
“You mean the one I kissed in front of you”Klara’s cheeks turned bright red hearing Ralph’s teasing words as she remembered his kisses. God! How can he be shameless? She was suddenly grateful to be in the dark because she didn’t want to face her brother. It’s embarrassing. How could Ralph say such words just like that?Ralph’s smile grew more as Luc’s face darkened. Why is it Roselli siblings misery always gives him pleasure than any other thing in this world? “Who is she?” asked Lucas though he knew the answer. He thought he could bully Ralph but why does it seem like he’s falling into his own trap? Ralph isn’t bothered by his questions at all, on the contrary he’s infuriating him with his answers. Despite Ralph’s laziness and Luc’s rage, Enrico was silent as he didn’t want to interact with Ralph and he’s not in the mood for a conversation because he doubted his ability to hide his nervousness. He better stay quiet less his ruse with Cecelia would be exposed and above all he h
Everyone in Klara’s family and clan would buy her a gift for her birthday and Ralph got scolded once on her sixth birthday for coming home empty handed. Did he really decorate the swing to cut some slack for himself? Here she thought he did that because of his care and feelings. She wished to have Alzheimer for real to forget about this conversation. Ralph is really making her hate him more and more with his words. He is making it sound like he was forced to do everything that related to her. What about their first kiss? Did he accept it because he didn’t want to hurt her? Did he think she’ll complain to their parents if he didn’t cooperate with her? She felt bile rising up in her throat thinking about their precious first kiss. She cherished it for years but for him…it’s nothing but a burden to carry. Was he really that disgusted to be with her? What did she do to make him hate her? “For someone who didn’t remember my sister’s name had quite a memory of our old traditions. Yo
Lucas surprised everyone with his accusation and Klara’s blood pressure rose to maximum level hearing his words but she controlled her temper and waited for Ralph’s reaction but her brother didn’t give Ralph a chance to speak. “You don’t want to be blamed for the things you never committed while you are blaming my father of being the murderer when he didn’t kill your parents. I never saw such hypocrisy in the world’s history”Klara shook her head crawling slowly towards her brother and scratched his foot. It’s really dangerous to poke Ralph’s sore spot. This is not the time to provoke him. Why is her brother digging their own graves? Luc closed his eyes cursing himself for losing his temper. He shouldn’t have brought up the topic but he wasn’t wrong. Ralph should know the truth. His father spent years in anguish for losing Eriksons, in addition to that he bore the accusation of a killer. As a son he couldn’t tolerate injustice towards his father.Luc was intimidated by Ralph’s f
“Why are you here?”Lucas asked after sitting opposite Ralph, spreading his legs wide making it look like Ralph’s presence didn’t effect him least bit. Ric crossed his legs, eyes looking straight at Ralph and put his trembling hands in his robe pockets because he’s afraid of getting caught.He never expected Ralph’s visit and that too with Cecelia. Even though they only communicated through letters, it’s really hard to stay calm in front of the devil. They were very careful about their ruse, of course Ralph wouldn’t find them but still Ric is afraid of him. No matter how much he deny…there is always a part of him who fears Ralph. Take it his presence, stance, aura or looks or whatever. Ralph always intimidate others with his coldness and Enrico wasn’t an exception. “Since you were so desperate to have my appointment, I thought to be kind. What? Are you having second thoughts?”Lucas wasn’t stupid and knew exactly what Ralph meant. Ralph is here to talk about powerhouse and this
“He’s here Luc”Klara said her voice trembling with fear. Both men looked at her with deep frown. Before they can ask her what she meant, she started pacing around like a mad woman clutching her hair. “He’s here, he’s here” She repeated her words looking around to find a place to hide or jump or bury or whatever to escape from the upcoming disaster. She wished she had a time machine or a vanishing machine with her to disappear from this place. “Klara…calm down”Ric held her shoulders stopping her from moving and Luc wiped her sweat with his sleeve in concern. What happened to her? Why is she acting weird all of a sudden? “What happened sister?”“Ralph..he’s here brother”Luc and Ric looked at each other, as if she wasn’t making any sense. How can he be here? Before they can open their mouths, they heard a commotion outside followed by a knock and then the guard outside spoke in loud voice.“Boss! it’s BlackWolf clan leader”The three people in the room held their breaths,
Enrico wished to take away Klara with him because this is his only chance to disappear along with her without alerting others but knowing Klara’s personality she would cause ruckus and she’ll only hate him as her heart still belonged to Ralph. To erase her feelings he has to defeat Ralph and should let her know who the real Alpha male is…..Eloping is not an option for him. He’s not a coward like his dad and didn’t want to be bossed around by Lucas. He will prove his strength and power and that day will come soon. With these thoughts he drove in the dark night as he knew the destination of Luc already because he would only visit one place at this late hour and that is…..After thirty minutes Ric pulled the car to the Casino night club basement.Klara recognized the club and was sure her brother was here to meet the mysterious woman who is messing with his brain because she remembered him making out in the suite with a lady, beautiful blonde.She covered her head with the hoodie and
“Master, Finn hasn’t gotten his hands on the new route to the gold mine” Milo reported to Ralph who is watering the lilies in the garden. After the powerhouse destruction four months ago, Enrico and Lucas were very careful with their properties. They closed all the routes to reach the gold mines and it’s sill hard to find the exact path they’re using to work in the mine. Ralph expected the results as he’s well aware of Klara’s schemes. She must’ve warned Enrico to secure all their mines ahead. How generous? Poor Ralph…he is still thinking that the powerhouse belonged to Ric as that’s what the world knew but only few knew who the powerhouse really belonged to. This is another misunderstanding between Klara and Ralph regarding Enrico. First he thought the bruise on her neck which was caused by Ric’s nail as hickey from Ric and then he thought she’s helping Ric by warning him about the attacks. He wanted to destroy the Kingsters east coast mine in a month after powerhouse destr
The eight year old Klara held her hands together in fear and curled her body to the bed crying out loud. She closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands when she heard gun shots and more screams. She held her breath wailing loudly when the door of the room kicked open.“Klara…my darling daughter”She looked at Louis who rushed towards her dodging the flames with his leather jacket. “Father”She bellowed extending her hands and threw her tiny body into his embrace. “Don’t cry darling. Let’s get you out of here” Louis said lifting Klara up and the little girl in his embrace hugged his neck tightly burying her face into his nape. Louis covered Klara’s body with his jacket and ran out hurriedly. Everything was so haze in Klara’s mind. All she remembered was her suffocation from the smoke, screams and gun shots. She lifted her head and looked over Louis’ shoulder hearing Ralph’s voice and saw a figure similar to her dad hiding in the corner behind Mother Julia who was wa
