Klara never saw her brother desperate to run away from her but something is fishy about his late night engagement tonight. Of course he peeked her interest by insisting her to drop the topic which on contrary intensified her curiosity.She would’ve let him go if he didn’t bother her so much that he even dared to drag her out of their parents room like a sand bag. Who is her brother’s hook up? She’ll find out soon. “OK fine. Just don’t get caught by me again. I can’t promise you a second time”Lucas hugged her tightly with a huge grin which looked like it’s going to spill out of his face. Seeing his reaction, Klara is determined to find the mysterious woman who her brother is desperate to hide from her and her family.“Not a chance. Have a beauty sleep baby sis. You have a birthday blast tomorrow”Lucas accompanied Klara to her room telling her about the cakes, cookies, pastries, menu, blah, blah, blah…Klara gave red flags to few items before closing her bedroom door. Lucas too
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
“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
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
“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,
“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
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
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
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
“What's on your mind little wolf?”Ralph asked Klara who’s lost in her thoughts staring into the direction Lucas just left. He’s glad that Lucas took care of Xavier ahead of him otherwise he would’ve turned this auction house upside down. Klara cleared her throat lowering her head and adjusted her tendrils behind her ear contemplating about what to say to Ralph. “I…I was just…thinking about….what you said”Well she didn’t find anything to cover her anxiety and just said whatever that came to her mind. “What I said?”Ralph is as confused as Klara because both didn’t have any clue about what Klara is saying. “Yeah! That..um…about your masculinity”Ralph chuckled leaning into her breathing zone and gestured Dylan to leave with his fingers. Klara’s breath caught in her throat feeling him so close. It’s not new to her but still his golden eyes which stole her heart and his hot breath fanning her cheeks sent delicious tingles to her spine. “What is it little wolf?”Ralph whis
Klara’s body started to sweat hearing the people back stage talk. It’s over. They found the piercing guy and Luc will be in danger if they started investigating the guests. “Leave. NOW!!”She urged Luc to leave but the man is not bothered by the commotion outside. He only fixed his bow and smoothed his suit before walking away. Klara’s jaw dropped staring at his back. Idiot! Who is he showing his attitude to? She cursed and followed him out and is shocked to see the man who is talking to Fernando just few steps away from her and her brother who is rooted on his spot beside her.…………“Little wolf”Ralph came to Klara’s side and held her face in concern. He didn’t forget to give a questioning look at Lucas and then shifted his eyes towards Klara whose face is as pale as white.Dylan who’s behind him rolled his eyes at Ralph’s pretence. Why is he pretending like he’s just seeing them together? As soon as Klara left the hall, Dylan observed Xavier going in her direction after exc
Klara couldn’t watch the prestigious yet respectable paintings going into a pervert’s hands so she left the auction hall and went to the back stage while the host thanked the guests before ending the event with a complimentary speech. The back stage is bustling with workers as they’re vacating the house and Klara found a storage room to vent her anger. She kicked the door shut with her foot and screamed out loud letting out her frustration.The people outside are busy carrying the left out auction items into the truck so they didn’t hear Klara’s voice. She paced around the room ignoring the smoky smell and cursed Xavier for being an asshole to her. The bastard! He deliberately tried to provoke her and snatched her paintings. And Ralph! Why did he stop her from bidding them? He backed up enough millions over the past seven years and for sure mother Julia and father Louis left him a fortune behind, then what’s his problem? Why didn’t he buy her the paintings? While she’s venting
“Thirty five million”Lucas ignored the judging eyes around him and put down his hand after voicing his bid. Klara whipped her head back with an angry look because she didn’t rise her hand as Ralph didn’t give her his approval. Like others she also thought the price of five paintings worth thirty million but that’s not the case. It’s one hundred and fifty million in total. That’s unbelievable and she’s surprised that her brother decided to bid at last but is he in his senses? He rose the price to five million at once. Can he really afford that much? It’s not that he couldn’t but he just lost his powerhouse and with Ralph’s constants attacks, he lost so much. How can he withstand all of them? She knew he’s doing this for her but…..she turned to Ralph and pinched his thigh in distress. Why is he silent? Didn’t he know she’s fond of those paintings? Why is he not buying them for her? How can she let her brother spend millions while she has the Aladdin lamp beside her? “Forty mil
“Fernando, Are you sure? They’re of five in total”The organizer of the event asked Fernando staring at the next auction items. The precious historical paintings which came from south and took them almost six months to restore the original colour. They wanted to leave them for the next year’s auction that too a painting a year but Fernando wants to sell them at a time in this event. Why?The paintings worth millions because of the authenticity and their rarity as they belongs to twelfth century, they worth a lot and to sell them all in such a hurry...what’s the reason? “Let’s do it now. We can’t protect them from Luchhese”Fernando said clapping his hands and his men carefully lifted the paintings stand to take them to the stage. “Luchhese as in Brendon Luchhese”The organizer questioned Fernando with his wide eyes. Brendon Luchhese, the one who demanded Luc to steal a museum piece and also a number one douchebag. He’s such a greedy person and a well known burglar in underworl
“What are you looking at?”Lucas asked Freya buttoning his shirt as his eyes landed on her busy back. Freya came to him to deliver the reports but he lost his self control as soon as she entered his office in her black suit. There is something about Freya and her work attire. She looks so sexy and graceful in formal wear. Without stalling a second, he threw the file she brought on his desk and took her to the couch in his office to devour her beauty. As expected she's his stress reliever and mood setter. Now he's fully energetic and can work for hours without exhaustion.“The necklace. It’s beautiful”Freya said staring at the picture of an antique emerald necklace on his desk which caught her attention. She’s never a fan of jewels but the necklace stole her heart instantly, it’s like love at first sight.Lucas came to her side and stood behind staring at the picture hovering over her and smiled. “It’s a museum piece”He said fixing his cuff links and Freya turned to him with
Xavier never even dreamed of seeing an angel for real in his life but the woman sitting next to his table in yellow crystal dress is the real fairy. He couldn’t take his eyes off her no matter how much he controlled himself. Her smell reached his nostrils and just a whiff is like an intoxicating fragrance which is compelling his brain to do many things to her right then and there. He licked his bottom lip staring at her rosy lips and lowered his eyes to her slender neck and narrowed his eyes slightly feeling painful. Fuck! An hour with her can make his life fulfil without regrets but the problem is she’s Ralph’s woman and he is ready to risk his life to have her body. Lucas who sat few tables behind Xavier couldn’t tolerate Xavier ogling at his sister. Though he’s mad at her for hurting him, he couldn’t let a bastard like him to eye at his baby sister. He clenched his fist under the table trying to control his anger. One wrong move he's ready to kill the bastard.And what the f
Klara got down the car after applying her lipstick again. Moron! Did he have to kiss her when they’re attending the event? Once outside she’s mesmerized by the auction house exterior. It’s like an old library. The sculptures and the carvings on the wooden walls, it’s an eye feast to the artists. Ralph took off his suit and dropped it around her shoulders ignoring her protests and took her inside. The guests have just arrived and took their seats but upon Ralph’s arrival everyone stood up without their knowledge as they sensed his dark aura from afar. The silence descended in the house as all pairs of eyes fell on the couple that stood at the entrance. Ralph quickly gave an overall look at all the people who attended. Every clan leader is present including Lucas who is shell shocked to see his sister. It’s natural to be worried because they protected Klara for many hears without exposing her to the outside world and he brought her to the lion’s den. Of course he would be worried.
