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
‘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
“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
The night sky was dark and gloomy yet the city underneath is glowing with lights and laughter but neither of it can be appreciated by the young girl whose mind and eyes are far away. The light wind ruffled her hair, soothingly yet her thoughts remain aggravating. She held the railing in a death grip, making her green veins visible as if she was battling within herself because of various uncertain thoughts revolving around her head. The dim lightening from the moon shone on her journal resting on the recliner chair behind her, making the pages glow as they rustled due to the calm yet powerful breeze. The beautiful calmness around her was lost, only the world of her thoughts surrounded her and suddenly a knock startled her, bringing her soul back to the balcony of her bedroom. She picked up her book and swiftly ran inside to open the door but only after hiding that journal under the pillow not because she feared that whoever the intruder came might check it out but she rather be ca
“Let them in, Fred” The guy in the front, clutching a cigarette with his right hand and stroking his overgrown beard with the left, ordered the bouncer, staring at Fiona with his lustful eyes. The smug look on his face made her face twist with anger and disgust. Fiona turned her face away, shrugging her shoulders and gestured Neil to get over with it fast, ignoring the scoundrel behind her. After confirming their identity and ticket, Fred gave them access to enter the club. “How dare that bitch to turn a blind eye towards me?” Levi shouted while glaring at the backs of those teens who just entered the club and followed suit, tossing the cigarette butt aside, swearing under his breath. “Levi! We should go to the basement.” Finn stopped Levi before he can head towards the top floor, to remind him why they were here in the first place and that is to negotiate a deal with the arms dealer. They shouldn’t make any mistakes because he didn’t want to even wonder what will happen
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you making a scene?” Darla scolded Fiona, depositing the drink she was carrying earlier, on the table, before placing her hand on her waist like a mother hen trying to teach her chick, here Fiona. “He touched my hand. You shouldn’t have stopped me.” Fiona retorted while sitting on the sofa beside Gwen, still frustrated. She took some wet tissues from her clutch and cleaned her hands thoroughly, remembering his filthy hand on her wrist. “Fiona, I know what that bastard did is wrong but you know what kind of people come to this club and yet you carelessly went and punched him. He possessed a gun for God’s sake, what if he hurt you?” Fiona lowered her head, hearing Neil’s worry etched angry tantrum. That’s right, she was being reckless. Never did she think for a second that he might have a gun with him, take it out of nowhere and tries to shoot her. It’s not that she didn’t know how to dodge a bullet but still it’s a careless thing to do on her
Never in her dreams she thought she had to face a near death experience. The moment she heard the commotion in her house, she knew something’s going to happen. The panic rising within her, the unknown gut-wrenching fear, everything confirmed her suspicion yet she couldn’t do anything to stop it from happening. She was just a kid to do anything.Every time her mind goes back to that particular memory, it’s like the smoke is still there, surrounding her, clogging her nose and burning her eyes. The fire eating away her home, swallowing the screams of feared ones and the pleads of her mother to let their family go, still vividly plays in her mind. Like she was teleported to that tragic day every time and forced to live it again and again. It’s astonishing how the eight-year-old her still recollects all those tiny moments happened on that day but all she can do now is to be grateful for surviving the accident and escape to Kandon.She was born in Cylantra aka her dad’s territory where peop
The night is still blooming and exciting for the people who refuses surrendering to sleep. After closing the deal Levi again searched for Fiona on the top floor but was disappointed for not finding her anywhere. He went straight to the manager questioning, “Who is she?”Levi didn’t need to introduce himself as everybody in this club-workers or customers- knew to whom he works for. The manager didn’t hesitate a second and gave the information used in purchasing the entry ticket probably Neil’s.“All these efforts are unnecessary. Back off, Levi. She’s not worth it.” Finn half-shouted at him.Levi must stop pursuing this matter at any cost. Master doesn’t appreciate such trivial matters and hates when his men use their power to harm common people. And this dumb Levi here is trying to break that utmost important rule, he shouldn’t allow that whilst master unleashes his wrath on all of them.“I know what I am doing, Finn.”Levi took the piece of paper with a phone number written on it and

“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
