“What the fuck are you talking about?”Ralph lost his patience and yelled at Klara earning gasps from the crowd. Mistress! Mistress! Who the fuck is that damn mistress? He never had a mistress for fuck sake.“The truth”Klara said turning to the people who are very immersed in the argument. She isn’t offended by Ralph’s harsh yet rude tone because she’s close to unveiling Cecelia’s proud mask. So what if she couldn’t defeat her physically? She can take away her pride and arrogance. This is called the real win. “The truth about the identity of your mistress AKA Ms. Cecelia Sabella”Cecelia rose to her knees shaking her head in denial. She better do something before that bitch spouts nonsense. She shouldn’t let Master misunderstand her. “Ms. Wilson! I do not understand how you got this information but let me assure you, I would never dream of becoming the mistress. I am certain”Of course she is aiming for the queen position. Klara is well aware of her scheme but she’ll unmask
Ralph stormed into his room feeling disturbed by the kiss. He removed his suit and unbuttoned his top button exposing his neck and looked at his reflection in the mirror. Where did the Ralph Erikson who frightens people with a single glare go? Where is the man who used to rule an entire empire of more than hundred people go? Instead he's seeing someone who is unfamiliar yet glowing man who is driven by emotions. He groaned in frustration rubbing his swollen lips and red ears to wipe away the blush. “Fuck it”He cursed walking back to the bed and collapsed on it running his fingers through his hair thinking about the kiss. It’s over. Klara made him her puppet and he lost his self control he preserved for years surrendering to her kiss. He used to be the man who kills men with the sword but now he is using the same sword to cut flowers for his little wolf. That’s how she influenced him. “Damn you woman”He sat up still feeling the tingles on his lips. She did something to him with
Ralph’s breath caught in his throat when he saw the bruise on Klara’s body. He rushed to her side and picked her up swiftly, taking her upstairs. “Wait! I…”Klara looked at Aurora and then at Ralph in worry. Didn’t he see her condition? Why is he not letting her get treated? And the way he held her, it’s embarrassing. She’s not a kid to carry her like this. Even Aurora got tensed because they still has to make pie and Klara is injured. She didn’t know what to do as Master is taking her. But why? Why is he taking her away while she’s helping her with the ice bag? “Fiona! What about the p…”“Hush!”Klara shushed Aurora before she can finish her words. Ralph halted his steps, taking his time to look at Klara in his arms and at Aurora who is fidgeting with her dress nervously. He furrowed his brows and asked her in his usual cold tone. “What is it?”Klara supported her body on his hands and cupped his chin showing him her best smile and whispered mischievously.“Secret”Ralph
Freya lived her life to the fullest in every phase. Take it her school, college and office….she faced all the hurdles with courage and passed them in determination. She wasn’t born with silver spoon but she did earn a lot after getting job and settled her parents with a business. She has a life full of emotions….joy, happiness, sadness, fear, anger, everything but love never had a part in it. She became strong with each passing day and with each difficulty she faced but why is it hard to face Lucas? Why can’t she push him away? Why can’t she just….she didn’t know what to do with her broken heart and with the courage she gathered for the past few days… she came to Lucas to have her freedom from the shackles she bound herself.“Mr. Roselli”She braced herself and called him again when Lucas didn’t respond to her. She would’ve thought he didn’t acknowledge her presence if it isn’t for his change in stance from playful to stern.Looks like he’s happy without her. A mere sight of her
“You..”Aiden watched helplessly as Lucas restrained Freya in his embrace and lifted his fist to punch Lucas but Freya stopped him in time. “Aiden no. I am alright”She said and then turned to Lucas who is burning with rage as his eyes bore holes on Aiden. Freya knew that look, he’s on his limits. She didn’t want them to pick a fight for no reason and she didn’t have strength to deal with them now. She didn’t even have strength to free herself from his embrace as she is tucked under his armpit like a chick under hen’s wing. “Mr. Roselli what…”Lucas shot her a death glare making her shut her mouth. Aiden didn’t like Luc’s actions and tried to snatch her back but Freya stopped him again and gestured him to stay still. “Tell him to fuck off”Freya shivered hearing Luc’s angry voice and gulped gesturing Aiden to wait in car but he’s adamant. “Ad, please”She said helplessly and pleaded him with her eyes. Aiden grunted in frustration and left gritting his teeth but not befo
“What are you doing?” Klara covered her body with her hands looking at Ralph warily. He started undressing her as soon as he placed her on his bed. Is he really that horny? For god sake she’s injured. Ralph pinched his nose bridge feeling tired. She is not making it any easier for him. He just wanted to check her body for other injuries. “Show me your bruises” Klara gave an embarrassed smile for misunderstanding him and undressed herself slowly. She didn’t have a scratch on her face but her torso is planted with few small green patches and the one on her ribcage stood out among them. She winced removing her pants as Cecelia kicked her thigh hard once. She cursed in low voice and pulled down her pants slowly, there it is another bruise. She lifted her head feeling the temperature drop around her. Oh no! The moron is angry but she can’t avoid bruises during a fight. She isn’t embarrassed or ashamed of these tiny wounds on the contrary she is very proud as she made her
Klara felt so good talking to her friends after a long time and knowing that they’re living their life in their way, she couldn’t express her joy in words. And in their conversation, Neil asked her if she needed anything from Diston as he’s currently living there…She thought about the list but Ralph already bought her everything she needed except paint brushes, so she asked him to buy them for her as he’ll be back in three months. If she’d known about Ralph’s Diston trip, she would’ve asked him to get them from Neil. It’s been more than a month since she talked to Neil, he would’ve bought them for her but what’s the use…..she can’t use them until two months. While she’s sulking over her loss, Ralph’s anger returned and he turned around Klara roughly clutching her jaw, glaring at her with his rage filled eyes. “Ask me if you need anything. Why did you seek that kid’s help?”Klara didn’t expect Ralph to react this way but she didn’t get angry instead she chuckled patting Ralph’s
Lucas’ office fell into silence as Ralph’s words startled Klara who lost her soul instantly thinking about what he said. What if the bullet pierced through his heart? Her world started to crumble just imagining his loss but if he’s really de…..no way. No f-ing way would she allow him to leave this world before her. Ralph frowned sensing Klara’s silence. He just tried to test her limits but didn’t expect to see her depressed. Did she take his words seriously?“What happened little wolf?” he asked grabbing her chin and tried to tilt it towards him but Klara shook her head getting down from him.“You may continue your talk, I need a moment”She said and went to the restroom walking around the room so naturally as if she’d come here countless times which she actually did because she came to Luc’s office very often in the past. Lucas sighed staring at his sister’s back. When did she become sensitive? Just few provoking words from Ralph changed her entire mood. He turned to Ralph get
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
