Klara felt short of breath as her heartbeat increased to maximum level, her eyes never leaving the pictures as her hand clutched her chemise to stabilize herself while her mind kept thinking about only one thing or rather a person and that is her brother. How the F did it happen? She slowly braced herself to step forward and saw the pictures clearly hoping that they’re not what she thought they’re but for god sake it’s what it is. They’re the pictures of her brother’s powerhouse which was destroyed brutally. It’s his two years of hard work. He spent many sleepless nights, travelled to many countries to get the people to work for him, he didn’t even care about his health to build that warehouse.How can this be possible? To the outside world, the warehouse is fruit of Enrico’s hard work as he is the one who designed the place but the main cause of it’s foundation is Lucas. She took the stack of photos, looking keenly at all of them. The warehouse was destroyed beyond repair. She rec
Ralph took the photo of Luc and Ric kneeling in front of burning warehouse. His eyes narrowed slightly thinking about the incident. He attacked many warehouses of Kingsters but they never stepped back in the business. Lucas and Enrico sent the deliveries again and again even though he destroyed them at first. He wondered where they stored all the arms and weapons. So it’s here. Never once he expected them to build a warehouse in old school property.One of the mafia clans principles is to never harm children. So he always avoided schools or anything related to kids but Enrico was so smart to chose the school property to run his business. Now he understood why the Dean of the Cylantra high school changed the location into new building. It must be Enrico who requested the Dean by offering another property with advanced features and even made him announce a false statement which says – The school property is under construction and is being transformed into University. What an asshole?
Ralph thought he could sleep for a little longer and he almost drifted to deep sleep but just after fifteen minutes he woke up to the sounds of things clattering, she must be doing that on purpose, probably to disturb his sleep.He wanted to deal with her but that would only make her satisfied because she’d succeed in spoiling his sleep. He didn’t move an inch but continued his pretence. Klara looked at the moron who occupied most of the space on her bed in fury. How can he sleep while she’s making a ruckus? Is he really a human? Definitely not. How can humans with sense hurt their own family?She put on her shoes and watch stealing glances at Ralph but he’s still a sloth. She stomped her feet making her way towards him and jumped on the bed sitting on her knees with her hands on her hips and glared at the man who’s sleeping like a log.“Moron!”She stood up cracking her knuckles and kicked his butt heavily pouring out all her anger. Ralph sat up instantly with his blood shot ey
Logan was surprised to see Klara at the door step so early in the morning. He just woke up a while ago and switched on the coffee machine when the door bell rang.“Fiona! Come in honey”He embraced his daughter with rejuvenating smile taking her inside. Milo locked the car doors and shut the blinders to continue his sleep after making sure Fiona entered her home. Before closing his eyes he thought about Cecelia who came out to send him off earlier.He is beyond astonished at her gesture because that’s not how things work with Cecelia. Given with their history, she would never be kind to him anymore. They used to be good when he just joined the clan as Ralph’s second in command. She flaunted her beauty to capture him and he fell for her instantly. After knowing her involvement with Dylan, he drew a clear line and she herself parted ways with both of them as Ralph started fucking her.From then she behaved like she’s the queen of BlackWolf clan but he knew very well that’s not true.
“You have no idea what he did Klara” Luc felt so weak and useless at this moment because it’s impossible to bring back what’s lost and also he couldn’t avenge his loss either. Can universe play anymore tricks on him better than this? “I know brother” “That’s two years of my struggle, hard work” Klara closed her eyes hearing his anguish and felt sorry for stopping him. He is suffocating and she can’t be with him to ease his pain and on top of that she’s holding him back from avenging. “And you are capable to build many more brother. I believe in you. Please don’t be irrational”Luc sneered listening to her cheering words and walked back to the sofa and collapsed on it with his hunched back. Klara never begged him for anything till now but she’s been doing that for the past few minutes not because she’s in love with Ralph but because of her concern for him. He’s happy that she called him and did a great help by stopping him from breaking a war. When did his baby sister becam
“Hey you ungrateful brat”Luc took the communicator from Carl and walked out of his parents room heading towards his study. He’s grateful to her for being so supportive and helpful when he needed her and he kind of missed her right now. No matter how much she bullies or annoys him, he always loved her and wished to give all the goodness and happiness in the world to her. She’s his baby sister and princess.His mobile phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and a cosy smile spread across his face looking at the caller ID. Chatterbox. Poor thing, he’s not available as he dedicated his time to his precious sister. He cut the call and put the mobile on silent mode before taking a turn to reach his study. “Yes dumb bunny”“Klara”His deep voice indicated her that he’s not OK with her always teasing him. She chuckled putting a finger on her lips stopping herself from bullying him because she knew he’s on his limits. “You know I love you right Luc” said Klara looking at the ceilin
“Are you done?”Victoria asked Klara who is climbing down the stairs. She nodded jumping from the fourth step to the ground in full energetic mood. Victoria heaved a sigh looking at her daughter who is active unlike this morning. She’s so anxious and didn’t even had breakfast before disappearing into her room with an excuse of having an important issue to discuss with her brother. Something must’ve happened at Ralph’s side or her family’s side because she never saw Fiona being so nervous before. Other than matters related to her family, Fiona wouldn’t worry so much and now it seems like everything is fine, since she’s lively as always. “Where is dad?”Klara asked as she didn’t find Logan in the kitchen because he would be the one to make breakfast when she’s around. “We are out of meat” said Victoria raising her hands in defeat. Starving is better than a breakfast without meatballs made by her dad. “Hooo”Klara pouted, disappointed to wait a little longer to fill her tummy
“Of course darling. How can I send my daughter without filling her stomach with the delicacies?” Logan gestured Victoria to let the matter slide and tied the apron around his waist before jumping into cooking contest. “I love you handsome”Klara groaned kissing Logan’s cheek making pop sound. How can she be so lucky to have him as her father? He never denies her wishes. Neil offered to help Logan and both men chased away the women taking in charge of kitchen thus they both came back to the living room. When Logan made sure that Klara is engaged in conversation with Victoria, he cleared his throat getting attention from Neil who is washing vegetables. “Congratulations young boy! You made it to Diston crafts university. You know the city is famous for natural paints” said Logan with a hint of proudness in his voice. It’s not easy to secure an admission in that university but Neil is a gem and he deserves it. Neil chuckled nodding his head and placed the vegetables on the coun
Louis looked at Klara who’s shining brightly like a diamond. Her thoughts are filled with Ralph, her heart is only beating for him and her motive is to look after Ralph. In all these years he never saw anyone looking at his son with care, love and concern but Klara, she’s different. She’s his darling daughter. Did Ralph keep her with him because of her care? Is that why he’s unwilling to let her go? Because being cared is an addiction. Once you got used to that feeling it’s difficult to pull away from it. “Klara, my darling daughter…” Louis squeezed her shoulders amused by her words…. “I am so happy that you are alive and healthy. But now you’re risking your life to save my son. I never know my little Klara would grow into this courageous beautiful young lady”Klara giggled snuggling into his embrace like a kitten. God!!! She missed his hugs. “I would do anything for him. I want him to be happy father”“I can see his care for you but Klara I am warning you, you’re really playi
Louis didn’t know whether to feel proud or sorry for Klara because she just entered a lion’s den overestimating her own strength expecting to defeat the lion but is she aware of the fact that the lion is far more dangerous than she assumed? She still needs to learn a lot about underworld. And she’s not ready to listen to anyone, he can understand because it’s the adrenal rush for teens that blinds their vision but he can’t be hard on her so he tried to deal with her softly. Klara knew it’s not easy to convince Louis but she is the only one who found out that he’s alive and got to know the whole truth. Just like her dad said he didn’t know or see mother Julia on the day of the attack because no one told him not even father Louis and Matthew is with the others. Her dad met father after securing the old album and they fought with enemies and amidst the chaos her dad found the exit but before he can take father with him the house exploded. The end. Her dad didn’t know that father
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
