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.
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
“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
“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
“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
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
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
“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 Roselli Ralph’s heartbeat increased as he uttered her name out for the first time in many years in front of his people and he would’ve spun her around in joy, calling out her name if it’s any other situation but now he didn’t know what to feel.His eyes caressed her dumbstruck face and slowly lifted his hand. He smirked patting her cheek as he liked the look on her face. She wouldn’t gave expected him to call her real name. She must be too shocked to react. As he said it’s time to end her chapter in his life. “What? Surprised that I know who you are?”His words reached Klara’s ears but still she looked at him with a blank face as if she’s seeing him for the first time and removed his hand from her.“No…”She whispered shaking her head slowly, giving him a look of disbelief. “I…I am surprised that you thought of me as your…ENEMY”She should be surprised, no she should be horrified as she’s caught red handed but she isn’t as surprised as she thought she would be when he
Klara never expected Ralph to act like a coward instead of taking responsibility for his actions. It’s true that they never planned to have a baby but it just happened. Ralph always says that one should face consequences for their actions and now it’s their turn to face the truth.Just because he has no desire to sire a child doesn’t mean he should abandon his baby. It’s such an innocent soul. How can he be cruel to his own blood? “I was with you Ralph. How can you not remember?”Klara placed her hand on her forehead helplessly, her voice breaking each time she remembered his denial. She looked into his eyes taking a deep breath trying to take as much as oxygen she can as she’s having difficulty to breathe because of smoke and also she started to feel dizzy but she gathered her energy and spoke out … “Fine! Don’t trust me. Now tell me where were you on that night? If you are not with me then where have you been?”Ralph's breath stuck in his throat hearing her question and guilt r
Enrico is currently having trouble to breathe as Dylan and Milo gave him hard time pressing him to the floor. He didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad about the present situation. He’s fighting for his life at one side and is worried about his baby on the other side. He is glad that Ralph is doubting Klara because this is what he wanted from the very start. A discord, a rift between both of them but he never expected his child to be hurt at the end. He gave a look at Cecelia who is standing aside with eyes full of joy. Bitch! She knew. She knew about Klara’s condition but she did nothing when Klara fell down. Why? Aren’t they supposed to help each other? Why is she going against him when everything is falling in a place? Cecelia danced in her heart hearing Ralph’s denial. Thank god he didn’t remember anything from the other night otherwise she would be dead by now. She is having so much fun to see Klara suffer in both physical and emotional pain. She deserves it. Since the
Enrico felt like this would be his last day on earth when he saw Ralph jumping into the basement with body full of blood. He looked like a blood bathed fiery werewolf with extreme hunger. Ric moved back in fear, yelling at the guards to open the exit door to escape but before he can finish his words Ralph shot at him and he collapsed on the floor holding his abdomen. Meanwhile Dylan and Milo finished his guards who are already injured by the explosion.At the same time they heard Klara’s voice followed by her loud scream and her body fell from the top, a total of fifteen foot height. “Fiona!”Cecelia looked over from the top screaming her name with face full of concern but no one noticed the malice in her eyes because of the smoke. Klara groaned in pain holding her belly. No! Her baby! She clutched her stomach, tears welled up in her eyes. Her leg is in extreme pain and so is her belly. The wood pieces sank into her skin but her focus is totally on her baby because she knew the
The air’s filled with the smell of gun powder and the smoke travelled to every corner of the farm house. Ralph sat in the living room staring at his bloody hands, his ears numb and the screams of his subordinates, the sounds of gun shots sounded so distant as he paralyzed for a moment realizing his actions. He killed a person in a brutal way and the blood thirst didn’t diminish least bit. He needs to end this right now. He can’t become a monster, not because of a woman who deceived him. He heard Milo's curse and turned to him who is loading his gun and snatched it from him. He stood up and fired, the bullet went right through Wang Chu's forehead. Milo and Dylan stood up in shock staring at Ralph with dropped jaws. What the fuck? They’re fighting their asses off to kill Wang Chu for over a minute but master did the job in the blink of an eye. Why didn't he react earlier? Gosh!!!Ralph inhaled deeply his eyes boring holes into the dead body of Wang Chu. Dylan and Milo approached R
Family is strength, power, support and emotional bonding but to Ralph it’s anything but strength. He used to be someone who could sacrifice his life to keep his family safe but after losing his mother, he's changed. His loss is unbearable and the betrayal of his family is intolerable. His past turned him into a cold hearted person and never once desired to have a family of his own because he’s scared of the loss. He’s not ready to take another blow and so he lived ten years alone, protecting himself from the binds of relationships but Klara ruined him.She stabbed him in the heart and turned him into a monster with her deception. He risked his clan which he painstakingly built for years only to become a fool at the end. He stepped on the accelerator exceeding the speed limit as he completely lost his rationality thinking about Klara’s pregnancy. All he can see is the colour red like a raging bull and only by killing Ric would his wrath calms down. He took out his guns from the gl
“Go to the top floor if you need answers. But now tell them to take me”Aurora is stunned hearing Klara’s words. Top floor? which means to Mr. Erikson. What did Mr. Erikson know about Fiona? She always wondered about how can Mr. Erikson who lived in the dark for ten years suddenly started to pamper a little girl who he never met in his life before. They are like father and daughter, always laughing, talking and painting together. She almost believed that Fiona is Mr. Erikson’s family because that’s how they looked when they are together.If Mr. Erikson trusts Fiona with his son then she’s definitely a trustworthy person. Thus she turned to Dylan taking a deep breath. Fiona is pregnant with Master’s child. Of course she wouldn’t lie about master’s safety. So they don’t need to doubt her. And also master went out alone and the way he left, she knew something’s wrong, so it’s better if Dylan and Milo had his back. “Dylan, do as Fiona says” “Aurora..how can you…”Milo shut his mo
Klara who is approaching Ralph in excitement stopped in her tracks after seeing him leave without a word. It’s been almost two months since they saw each other. Can’t he spare a minute or even few seconds for her? She didn’t even tell him about her pregnancy. Why the hell did he come if he wanted to leave early? What’s so urgent that he didn’t even take Dylan with him? Looking at his fury, she knew someone is going to die. Wait! That’s not important right now. Where was he all these days? And what is Cecelia doing with him? She didn’t see her around much in the fort for more than a month just like Ralph. She once heard Dylan telling Aurora that Ralph is staying out with Cecelia.She also heard them talking about someone cheating with Cecelia but she didn’t take their words into her heart because she trusted Ralph and Cecelia’s affairs are of not her concern. Ralph must be busy with something just like Dylan said. Maybe Ralph and Cecelia were both dealing with it together while Dyla
Author’s note :Hello cuties,I added more story to the previous chapter so please go through it once before reading new one. Love you all……Cecelia dreamed big, planned big and wanted to achieve big and her deeds are wicked and cruel but the result is not what she desired. She thought Ralph started accepting her, giving her an illusion of fantasy world when he wanted her to stay back with him in the warehouse but nothing happened as she anticipated.He stayed in his room and she has her own room. She tried to create few opportunities for herself to stay in his room but none worked. He’s oblivious to her efforts or pretending to be oblivious. Either way she can’t get close to him.She thought she won against all of the clan people but Ralph shattered her hopes with his rudeness. But still she pretended to be in relationship with Ralph in front of Dylan and Milo because they always mocked her and warned her that she should never dream of becoming his woman not even his mistress but
