The two lovers didn't let go. Ludovic knew they needed their time so he stood up, thanked Claude for the whiskey, and went out.

Claude was barely able to respond to Ludovic respectfully. He was losing his head given Flora's perfume. She smelled like white flowers and strawberries. And she didn't need perfume to make him lose his mind.

Flora held Claude as tight as she can. She felt tired and he was her only home, her safe place. Claude was carrying the weight of the world. In his head, he saw the shape of the end getting closer. But then he remembered he now has Flora and two kids. He doesn't have the right to let go anymore.

Flora thought a moment about sacrificing herself so Claude won't get in trouble with the Round Table, one of the strongest cults in the country, and maybe in the whole world. But then she remembered, he may die from pain if she leaves him.

The hug scene was beyond compare. A noble night, taking his beloved lady in his arms. It looked like a film scene or a poem l

    "Isn't that?""Jack's voice? Yes. Go and hide behind the curtain. I will open for him."Claude slapped his face to wake up from the heat and he opened the door to Jack.Jack didn't get in. He was smiling devilishly as always and he said:"I have a collaboration suggestion for you."Claude looked suspicious. How did Jack get back to his right mind after such a shock? What is he thinking about:"What do you want?""My wife. As you see, Ludovic wants her for himself. But I want something from her, and you want something from her too.""What do you mean?!""You want her body and I want her tears. We can both take what we want if we capture her again.""Is that the wisest conclusion your head ever come up with?!""I told you that woman is the only thing that unites us. And here we have someone else trying to take her away. You can't resist him by myself nor can I resist him by myself either. So the best way to take her from him is by uniting our powers."Jack threw a tantrum in the bathroo

    Claude closed the door shaking from anger. He barely got back to normal breathing, when he heard the soft cries behind the curtain. To his surprise, he found his Flora crying and shaking as well... from fear."Flora! Flora, my sweetie. You know I will never agree on such a thing!"Flora wiped her tears and asked the most disturbing question ever:"And do you do it because you don't want that body to get spoiled or out of pure hate of sharing?"Claude looked at her angry eyes and answered:"I won't do it because it will hurt you.""Deep inside you are a sadist. You want to destroy the body of the woman you love!""That's my desire. But I don't love you with them! I love you with my heart! My soul! And my soul prefers dying over a moment of sadness for you! I love you, Flora. I love you with all my being.""Flora looked too terrified to ever believe someone's words. The fear was not reasonable. Claude remembered seeing something like that in the morning: It was a panic attack. A very st

    Flora was on the edge of breaking. Claude knew it well and he didn't want to gamble. He went to the door and locked it, called Jimmy: "I am in the western lounge with Flora, cover our absence.". Then he stripped her from everything she was wearing except her inner gown. He took off his armour as well. And he hugged her on the sofa. "If you want to cry, do it. If you want to scratch me do it. If you want to curse me do it. Do whatever would make you let go of that tiring emotion inside your chest." Flora was astonished and touched by his actions. She hugged him dearly and cried like a baby. She cried her heart out and kept crying till she was exhausted. Only then, she did calm down.Flora sniffed and wiped her tears. She looked at Claude and cupped his face with her hand. The poor man looked so tired as well. That tantrum was as exhausting to him as painful to her. When her skin touched his face, he smiled at her softly and kissed her head. He hugged her even more and whispered: "W

    Days ago, Flora was drugged by Vlad. That night, before passing out she saw count Ludovic Castello by her door. She knew who the Count was. He used to visit her and her mother in South Italy. She thought he was just a friend. But some she sneaked into the hallway at night and heard him persuading her mother to divorce: "I will welcome you in my mention. And I will take care of you. Do not be afraid of him. He won't reach you or reach your child" "You don't understand Ludovic, I don't want to let him go." "He left you." "Still!" "If you do not pity yourself, at least pity that child!" Her mother was stupid enough to refuse the offer. La Candida was a famous noble family. In the past, it has Knights and noble lords. Today, the Round Table kept respecting them for the sake of their ancestors. At that time Ludovic was merely twenty. But he was blindly in love with Mrs Ilnero, the mother of Flora. He was young, handsome and witty. Flora adored him when she was a child. When Fl

    When Vlad got in, Flora asked to be left alone with him. And once Ludovic got out, Flora slapped Vlad."You betrayed me"He didn't answer. Flora knew he could stop her hand but he didn't. He knew she was going to slap him and he didn't mind it. He did something awful. He knew it.Flora looked to the other side and whispered, almost whining:"And I trusted you. More than I trusted anyone else."Vlad sighed and spoke for the first time:"When he came to the mansion for the first time, Claude had a personal maid. And soon he made her his mistress, or she made herself.""Was she a playgirl?""She was a filthy sl*t, to be more precise ""Oh""Lauren, that was her name. She treated Claude well. She was a friend and a caregiver. And she was his first woman. At that time, I came to the Knightly's household as a coach to Claude. I was training him and preparing him for the world he will dive into. I trained him for months and I discovered that he was still feeling deep guilt towards the man he

    "The Count is the type who can make you lose your sanity in less than a week, I guarantee you.""Vlad, you stupid man !!!!!!" Flora almost lost her head. All she wanted was some peace to think clearly and know she is stuck AGAIN with another psycho lover. "This is for your good.""I can't believe my ears! Are you aware of what you're saying?! What if that maniac rapes me?! What if he kills me?!""He won't. Else whenever you need me, call my name. I will come immediately.""What the hell?! Hey! Wait..."Vlad didn't add a word. He didn't even wait for her to finish her sentence. He left her and closed the door.Flora fell to the floor unable to believe what was happening. Then she took a deep breath and stood up. She is a weak girl and that's why they play with her as they please. "Do not blame anyone but yourself?" she said. "Blaming others is an act of weakness and stupidity. We should believe we are the masters of our fate. And we should allow no one to take our fate from us."Flor

    Flora did not feel comfortable in the palace. Everyone called her "my lady" and referred to her as "her ladyship". It was awkward and made Flora feel suspicious. In Claude's house, she was also a "mistress" or "a madam". But there it made sense. For Flora lived there permanently. But here she was merely a guest. An unknown guest.Dining with the Count, he asked to make herself comfortable in his palace:"Your big brother wants to take good care of you. Please, feel comfortable visiting the palace whenever you want."It was hilarious given he didn't allow her to leave it, yet."You must rest well. Stay a bit more, my baby girl." How cute. How creepy.Ludovic didn't approach Flora physically. He kept being the gentleman that he is. And Flora knew well he was not the type that may abuse a woman. He is far more noble, even though he is fantastically mad.The next night, he ordered the laid to get Flora a red dress. The colour was so deep, it resembled blood. Flora felt a bit uncomfortab

    Flora didn't respond. She looked as pale as a dying flower. Ludovic kissed her forehead, carried her to her room and stayed by her side. Soon her fever rose. Ludovic noticed she looked unwell. So he asked the maids for the medical kit and measured her fever. "Gosh, girl you are on fire."Ludovic studied in medical school. So he knew what was going on. When Flora started hallucinating, he took her hand and kissed it:"That's alright my child, I am taking care of you."He helped her to drink some water and gave her calming herbal tea. He patted her head and spoke to her softly so she can feel not alone. He stayed by her side holding her hand for the whole night. Flora kept hallucinating for the whole night as well:"Why are you leaving mama... Mother, please... Don't go... Wait for me... Don't leave me... Mama..." It was so pitiful and dark. Ludovic almost cried from pity. That little poor child was innocent and did nothing wrong. Still, everyone neglected her and betrayed her."I w

    Flora woke up the next morning to the sound of knocking on her chamber door.“Yes?!” She asked“Are you decent?”“A moment please.”Flora jumped off the bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She knew the voice owner: That was the voice of Mr. Wolfgang! Flora changed her clothes and did her hair then she stood up in the middle of the chamber, head high, straight posture, and severe facial expression:“Please, come in.”Wolfgang came into the room and smirked looking at Flora: She tried to appear solemn and severe but the excitement in her eyes failed her:“How was your night, young lady?”“Cozy, thank you. How have you been, sir?”“You can call me Father. Or don’t. That silly son of mine shall marry you first.”Flora got as red as a cherry and she looked down shyly. He knew she was emotionally entangled with his adopted son! “Calm down Flora. Don’t mess it up this time.” She whispered to herself.“Mr. Wolfgang.” She said to him, “I want to talk with you.”“Here I am.”“First,

    “Are you happy?” said Mielle. Cassius barely added a word after Claude left him and Mielle. He asked her to give him her seal and gun if she had any. Mielle took off the necklace she kept under her clothes. That necklace had a seal on it: The seal of a thorny rose. With that seal, Mielle has the access to the Brotherhood’s database and has the right to communicate with other members. Without a seal, she is just a hanged member who has no voice. Cassius was not afraid of her. Even if she asks for help, his position as enforcer will prevent her from getting any. Plus, he knew she didn’t want help. Mielle was far too proud to not accept the consequences of her free actions. But he respected the protocol. From the moment she is considered a sinner, to the moment she accepts redemption, Mielle shall stay isolated from the rest of the brotherhood to not spread her sins among them. It was ridiculous, but it was the law that protected this brotherhood for centuries. Mielle gave him her gu

    Mielle, the witty coffee shop owner, is an assassin.Cassius, the kind guy, is an enforcer.The enforcer’s job in the Round Table was not complicated. He has to keep order. Every member of the secret society should respect his place, his mates, and the law. And Mielle just broke all of it. Cassius was an enforcer linked to Claude, and Mielle was the assassin linked to Claude. Claude was a knight. Which is a very advanced position. To each knight, the Round Table attributes a functional unit. In the unit, there is an assassin who shall enforce the knight’s orders outside the brotherhood. The Round Table attributes every knight an enforcer in charge of keeping order and punishing those going berserk, even if they were the knight himself.Mille acted without her master’s consent two times. The first time was on the Orient Express where she killed a mafia man: Mr. Fortnight, to avenge her family. The second was in the peace masquerade where she poisoned a guest: Mrs. Ilnero gives her fri

    Roxanna was aware of the situation. The moment Cassius told her Claude was waiting for her. She nodded and spared herself successfully from the police. She walked into the study where Claude was smoking and greeted him:- I pay my respect to the glorious silver knight.- Welcome Miss La Rosa. Do me the honor of sharing a discussion.It was a bit dark inside. The smoke made the air thick and gloomy. Roxanna knew that Claude was angry. With his dominant posture and cruel face, he looked quite the dangerous. Claude sat in front of Roxanna and offered her a cigarette. She accepted it and smoked as well. Claude sighed and asked her, with a dry tone:- Long story short, are you the one who did it?- Would you punish the one who did it?- No. I want a painful death for that witch. Yet, choosing this time is just irrational.- It was not me Mr. Knightly. If it was me, I would admit it with no fear.- In that case, do you know who did it?- No, no one told me about something like that happeni

    Flora felt nausea. What has she done?! Claude will kill her for this! He will damn kill her!Once they heard Bianca’s scream, Flora was about to run into the building and head to the ballroom, when Vlad caught her hand:“Stay here, I will go to enquire.”“Yes.”The moment Vlad disappeared, Ludovic appeared as if he was waiting for her to be alone. “So? Shall we go?”“What have you done?!”“Nothing. But it is a good occasion to run without Jack and Claude noticing us.”“No, I can’t! I didn’t tell Claude yet that I am going with you! I can’t just disappear again! That would be cruel and disrespectful!”Ludovic grabbed the woman’s arm and growled: “Do you want to meet Wolfgang or not?”“But…”“Yes or No?! Make a choice!”“Yes.”“Then let’s go. We have no time left. Soon the two men will get aware of your disappearance.”Ludovic took Flora to his car and ordered his men to act as secretly as possible. And so, when everyone was swallowing the shock of the unpredictable incident, Ludovic

    Bianca screamed as her mother collapsed in the ballroom: “Mother! Mother! Wake up!!!”A line of black thick blood was coming out of the mouth of the unconscious woman. “Poison!” cried a lady “She is poisoned!”Claude came to the ballroom with Jack as soon as they heard the screaming:“Is that your doing?” Claude asked Jack the moment they got to the door.“No. Yours?”“No.”“Who then?”They didn’t need that answer for the moment. Instead, they approached the victim:“What the f*ck is this?” said Jack as he knelt beside the collapsed woman.“Oh! Mr. Black! Mother! Mother got poisoned!” responded Bianca crying.Claude ordered his men to call the police and an ambulance. But Jack said coldly as he examined the woman: “Order them to hurry and bring a doctor along. I do not think she can make it in more than an hour.”“Alright. Ladies and gentlemen, please do not leave your positions. Stay where you are until the police are here.”Inside, Claude was cursing. That was far away from being a

    Flora looked around her all the time. Claude was nowhere to be seen when she needed to talk to him as soon as possible. Staying around Roxana was the best. But Flora was anxious so she excused herself and went into the hallway to look for Claude. The anxiety made Flora not pay attention to Jack who came after her. But suddenly as she walked in the long corridor, she felt a shiver. And she immediately knew what it was. She turned to look solemn and saw Jack behind her, smiling as the devil he is:- Did you miss your Daddy, babydoll?He said with a teasing smile and Flora had the desire to vomit. And she did not answer. She just kept looking at him with pride and confidence.Jack’s smile started to fade as he sensed something was different about Flora’s eyes. He saw her arrogant look thousands of times before, but this… this was something different:- Come back to your house my dear wife. Your husband and family, we are all waiting for you- Does that include your wipes and ropes?- Of

First, they got disappointed seeing he had a partner. Then, they got even more disappointed to see him dancing with the ball’s queen: Flora La Candida.Cassius only smiled at Flora. No word was said for a while. He led her softly and naturally. They looked perfect dancing together. But after some time, Cassius bent on his partner and whispered:- Tell me he didn't hurt you that night Flora. Please, tell me he didn't.- He didn't- Thank goodness. Cassius sighed. Now that you are back things will get better. As his close friend, I am truly happy you are back, Flora. Claude was acting strong but inside he was burning.

When she opened her eyes she saw him looking at her and she felt like heaven."We must go back to the ballroom, don't we?""I think we should. I'll never get enough of the shocked face of your stepmother."Flora giggled:"Neither I !""Let me help you dress then I will go and ask a maid to help you with your hair and makeup.""Gosh! I have a problem. I didn't bring anything to correct my appearance!""That's alright. In the resting room, they are keeping some brushes and makeup simple.""What a relief to be in a masquerade held by a billionaire."Claude laughed and said:"Are you aware you came to a masquerade without a mask? All of that to disturb those b*tches?""Well, in fact, I was planning on wearing a mask and meeting you privately. Then I thought: Why am I scared? Let them know I am alive.
