Roselli’s and Trupiano’s sat at the dining table for breakfast, adoring it with their smiles as Luc and Ric finally convinced their clients for the extension of time line and even delivered the goods. Kate and Daisy filled the table with loads of food as a reward. The dining hall is full of joyous ambience after a long time but the boys weren’t on good terms after their little argument in Luc’s study the other day. Luc tried to apologize Ric but he’s adamant to even hear him out. Except related to business issues, Ric didn’t talk to him and didn’t even come home since then. Seeing him at the dining table so early in the morning surprised Luc as this dumbass is more stubborn than his baby sister but to think he actually came home just after few days was really surprising enough. Luc’s mood darkened instantly as Ric sat across him instead of sitting beside him, his usual spot. They’re used to sitting together all the time but he changed his position after a ridiculous argument. He too
“I thought he let us go when his men retreated from Xavier’s dock but he already set us a trap at Andarc” Carl collapsed on the sofa rubbing his forehead, his wrinkles became more prominent just thinking about the attacks Ralph committed to destroy them. If it’s any other clan he would have killed them right away but he’s Ralph, the boy he raised and his daughter’s fiancé. “Carl I think it’s time to strike back. We can’t always indulge him” Enrico wouldn’t miss a chance to go against Ralph and also he didn’t want to be silent anymore. It’s hard for their parents to build their clan all over again. He and Lucas joined them when they were just in their early teens sacrificing their youth and dreams. The four of them worked very hard to negotiate with the clans in other countries to renew their contracts after the tragedy. Few of them rejected their proposal as they thought they were weak after losing Louis Erikson. Still they didn’t lose hope and stood strong building their connect
“Carl, why…why did she lie to us?” His voice came out low and hoarse as he’s trying his best to act normal but his heart is bleeding inside. “You know she’s Klara. She is unpredictable” Lucas spoke coming to his dad’s side. Ric can be horrible when it concerns Klara’s love life and his dad wouldn’t tolerate Ric’s tantrums. He didn’t want them to start a war now. He has better things to do than babysit them “So….you knew all along” he whispered in his dad’s ears and Carl nodded standing up. He should call his daughter to tell her about Ralph’s actions. It’s true they couldn’t tolerate his attacks all the time. He couldn’t see his boys hard work burning into ashes. Enrico was silent as he’s thinking of ways to contact Klara to talk about Ralph. He wants to know why she lied to him and also her feelings for that damn man. If she is still considering to marry Ralph, then he didn’t have a choice but to really become the enemy of Ralph Erikson. “I don’t understand Carl. Why did she ne
Though her first visit to backyard left a scar on her heart, later she found lilies which changed her mood entirely. They were Julia’s favourite flowers. Julia! Her name alone brings smile to everyone’s face. She is Ralph’s mother and an angel to all of them. In this entire universe only Julia can make Ralph vulnerable. He never disobey his mother and she is his world. Even though he behaves like a cold hearted person he loves her so much. Julia used to grow lot of lily plants in Lilium before the tragedy. She would make lily crowns for little Klara because she loves her so much as she is the only girl in their family. After giving birth to Ralph, Julia never intended to have second child as Ralph didn’t want to share her love with anyone, even with his siblings but he lost the battle when Klara was born. Klara sighed walking back to her room as she’s downhearted recalling Julia’s loss. She always wondered maybe Ralph’s hatred towards her was because he’s jealous of her for getting
Once she’s done writing, she hid the book under the mattress as she didn’t want anyone to read or even know about her journal. It could risk her life as it has many secrets written. She sighed lying on the bed and stared at the ceiling which now had a chandelier of her liking. She felt bored in this huge mansion and wanted to take strolls in the fort. She can see most of the buildings from her window and badly wanted to explore them all one by one but didn’t want to leave this room so as to avoid Ralph. She wondered how he built this city in three years? People from the outside world thinks this is a prison as the clan people weren’t allowed to go out. But they didn’t have any idea of what was inside. A whole new world. Everyone is busy with their own chores but she’s bored to death. Not a soul except Aurora talks to her and she’s not interested to be friends with these people. She wanted to talk to Dylan to get back her mobile but he’s always with Ralph. She’s not afraid to lose
Just as their lips inched closer Ralph put her down turning around. Klara did the same as she held her racing heart. What just happened? How can she allow him to touch her again? It's as if she was casted by his spell, she lost all her senses when he held her closer. "Get out" She whispered fiddling with her fingers and chided herself for almost losing to his charms. 'You are a lost cause Klara Roselli' Ralph took few deep breaths letting his stiff shoulders relax in the process and hugged her from behind startling her. Even though she's five seven, the tip of her head just reached his chin making her look so small in his embrace. Klara gasped tilting her head to the side as her hands were trapped in his embrace together with her waist. "What the F?" "Shh..." Klara's words died down in her throat as he started nuzzling her cheek with his nose like he always does. He pulled her more closer to him and buried his head into the crook of her neck inhaling her fragrance, his favourite
Klara couldn't believe him anymore. He just destroyed their port a month ago and from Milo's words, he did something her family and now he wanted to attack their next delivery as well. Why? Why is he doing this to her? She rushed to Ralph and pointed her finger at him ready to unleash her wrath just when Cecelia stepped forward wanting to taunt Klara."How dare you...""Cecelia!"Cecelia shut her mouth at her master's command and backed away embarrassed. She shouldn't have interfered.Ralph slowly turned around with his hands in his pockets. He's so calm and relaxed, it's as if he's not the one who bit her a while ago. His lips curled up slightly looking at her hickey. It suited her well. His mark. Maybe he should mark her more often."Why are you hurting them Ralph?"Klara ignored Cecelia and didn't even take her into consideration as only one thought is running in her head and that is her family's safety."Don't meddle in my affairs"Ralph spoke in displeasure. He hates if someone t
The sun is shining like gold in the sky waking up the nature with it's glow but the secret cabin under the ground is dark as dead night but the little candle placed on the table swallowed the darkness to some extent."I thought you wouldn't come today"A voice of a middle aged man reverberated in the dark cabin. He stood in the middle of the cabin and spoke looking at the woman who just entered. His face covered in the darkness but the evil sight from him is unhidden. Only the candle light placed on the table made out the silhouettes of their bodies."I have no other choice"The woman spoke in frustration removing her hoodie and looked at the man with her dark eyes. Normally, her gaze would be focused and full of fear but today it's wavering and totally distracted. The man didn't take offense from her rudeness and spoke in a calm tone."Do you have any clues?""Clues? His mind is always revolving around that bitch now. I never saw him like that"The woman kicked the table angrily maki
“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
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
Instead of thinking of other possibilities Ralph blindly believed his eyes and no one can blame him for that because Klara testified to prove Luc’s innocence and Julia is not alive to testify Carl but Klara didn’t want to lose hope. Ralph is a smart ass and there must be a reason why he still didn’t completely destroy Kingsters and if there isn’t any..she didn’t know what to believe otherwise. He thinks that her dad conspired with Rocco to blame father Louis, to separate him from the clan and to kill him along with his family so that her dad can takeover the Golden Eagle clan. What an admirable logic? But none of it is true. And to prove Ralph wrong she’ll go to great lengths. “What do you want to do? You just got rid of Ralph” Lucas questioned Klara who is frowning as if she’s cooking something in her mind. He didn’t want her to put herself in danger again. From the looks of it she seems to be planning to play with fire considering her trait of being prone to cause troubles.
“Golden Eagle was the powerful clan back then and also the clan with most enemies, among them Rocco was our biggest competitor. He attacked our men who were in his clan as spies and destroyed our farm house in Andarc which was Daisy’s dream house but we didn’t take him seriously which was my biggest regret” Carl lowered his head thinking about the past. If he killed Rocco when he had chance…all of this wouldn’t have happened. He wouldn’t have lost his friend, his sister and Ralph. He’s to be blamed but what’s the use of crying over spilled milk. He took a deep breath and continued. “We three have our own secret communication devices encrypted by codes which can be cracked by us alone if we need to communicate through it. Those codes were very secretive even among us. I never told Louis or Matthew about mine and they did the same but we know the frequencies of our devices. We thought it’s for our best if we disclose the information among us. I went through the message sent by the
“That’s dad and Louis”Klara widened her eyes hearing Luc’s words and moved the photo closer to her eyes. That’s true. She didn’t recognize them as she never saw their old photos. They looked so adorable especially father Louis, maybe the moron got his father’s traits. Ralph looks so cute when he smiles just like his father. Her thoughts drifted to the time when she heard his laughter few days ago when they were arguing in the corridor outside her room. Though they were in a heated argument, she still got enchanted by his smile and she really wanted time to stop at that moment so that she can capture his beautiful cute face in her memory to cherish it forever.She shook her head getting hold of herself. The moron is heartless, cold like stone and she curse him to have sleepless nights. “You both look so good and young”She said flipping the photos and saw many pictures of her dad and Louis in which they were playing, sleeping, dancing, cutting cakes, blowing candles. This is
