Bella’s POV The ride to the party began and I was still mentally conflicted. I thought making the decision was the hard part but it turns out taking action is even worse. Klaus had a driver pick me up and I was pleased he didn’t come himself. To be honest I wanted nothing more than to turn the car around and head back home but I can’t, my pride won’t let me. After the conversation I had with Amiee, how could I shamelessly return in defeat?I sucked the uneasiness and squeezed my palm for support, hopefully tonight turns out okay otherwise...I might never show my face in public ever again!“We’re here, should I take the back entrance?”I looked out the window for a while and watched the chattering scenes of some elite personalities in the city before answering.“Hmm, let’s take the back”He drove in that direction and I had my pinky hovering over Klaus number.should I call him or not? In the end I didn’t and got down carefully. My fishtail dress forced me to maintain a poise t
Bella’s POV What in the mother freaking world is he talking about? I was staring at Klaus in shock and utter disbelief, he didn’t have an ounce of jest in his tone and that alone rang trouble in our midst. Klaus mom looked as if she’s seen a ghost while his dad had a deep scowl on his features. “Klaus Cavil Denford! What has gotten into you?!Her voice couldn’t avoid climbing pitches and for a second she forgot about their surroundings. Her sudden outburst drew a lot of eyes to our direction but Klaus stayed silent. I couldn’t decipher what was going through his head. Was he planning on angering his parents to death?!He was an only child so of course his words were more than just provocations. It was an open threat! Mr Denford strikes me as a man of few words, must be where Klaus got the bulk of his character.For facts I didn’t even know Klaus had a second name! The air was filled with tension and I was caught in the middle. To think this was happening because of me was rather
Bella’s POV It couldn’t be said that Klaus question was an out of pocket shit but I was still gravely shocked at the anticipation in his eyes. At the very least I thought he’d wait till we were seated but I guess not. His full attention was on me and I was trying hard to appear calm while my mind was a complete mess. Giving the situation if I tell Klaus the truth about how I met Louis, what would happen then? The outcome would certainly be disastrous but lying is just as fatal. I was conflicted! My mind was stuck in two worlds and it wasn’t until the car horned that I snapped back to reality. Klaus still had his eyes fixed on me and he raised his hand to signal the driver. His gesture was clear, he wanted an answer before we entered. I bit the insides of my cheek and took a gamble.“Well, that night at the bar I didn’t recognize him but he later explained that we met in X city. That was when I remembered”I finished speaking but he still had his eyes glued on me, the suspicion in
Bella’s POV The impact sent a shudder through me and even though I earnestly thought against it I still found myself reciprocating his hot vicious kisses. The human body was really a scary system, in this very moment all thoughts of resisting died as his fervent plunging sucked my lips whole. My body was awoke within breaths and nothing else seem to matter, like hell! Time itself froze! All I heard was the truth of my heart as I let him tempt me to an almost irredeemable state. In the spur of the moment my hands had moved to wrap his neck while both of his hands firmly circled my waist. This warm enclosure brought me a great deal of security and I couldn’t deny it threw me into a momentary daze. One which I wanted to tarry longer in but I couldn’t because even as I carried out this scandalous act I’m reminded of all the troubles that comes with it. In the next moment I broke the kiss, slowly but steadily I pushed a hand between our chest and his hold on my waist loosened, now all
Arya’s POV “Close your eyes sweetie pie... sleep in my embrace, away, away from the troubling world, I’ll always be by your side”“Now sleep” I said in exasperation, this little one didn’t take yield to my soothing lullaby. His bright blue eyes kept staring at me with joyous expectations. It had the power to mesmerize my soul but I had to overlook his charms and keep on stroking the rocking bed to my rhythms. ‘Please go to bed, mama has an appointment to catch up with’ a soft sigh freely left my lips, I can just be honest with myself now, my son was pretty stubborn for a month old. Damien insisted on getting a nanny even though I felt it was unnecessary. I mean, it wasn’t like I had twins or something but okay...Eventually I agreed and from the selection process I hired a girl named Jane and she’s been doing a wonderful job only that Aiden wasn’t fond of people. Yes, people! In any case, my scar removal surgery is scheduled today at noon and I’m doing everything I can to put Aid
Arya’s POV When a pretty girl gets a little face surgery, she only gets prettier!I looked at my face, it healed quite well, I could barely recognize myself despite the obvious similarities. The fire burn grazed my left cheeks but I couldn’t work on one without doing same to the other so it definitely had a significant change in the structure of my face. My cheek bones were more pronounced and this completely eradicated traces of my baby cheeks. Paired with my siren eyes I looked like a supermodel. If I thought my looks were appealing before I was in for a shocker now. No doubts my current appearance was a head turner and a crowd stealer but this was the complete opposite of what I needed. I’m trying to stay hidden not to draw attention to myself! Alas, it seems I’m gonna have to change tactics. My next course of action solely depends on the news I’m gonna receive from Damien today. Over the months he was able to trace the man from that night. He was found hiding in another coun
“What’s Nicklaus Harrington doing here? Did he tail us?”Damien’s slightly edgy voice questioned one of his subordinates. “It doesn’t seem so-”“Then why is he here?!”The agitation in his voice was becoming clearer and the man before him kept his head lowered.“We’re currently looking into that your highness”.Damien could only release an helpless sigh. It was no news that Nicklaus had men following him like flies but due to his tight security they couldn’t come close enough and always ended up loosing trail but today the case seemed different!He purposely didn’t tell her the details of the call because any news about Nicklaus would throw her into a frenzy, little did he know it was already too late!Just then, one of his subordinate ended a call and took long strides followed by a bow at Damien.“Mr Harrington came for a business deal held at Osyms Hotel but there was an accident with his client and he followed the ambulance over. Nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary”Da
Frieren’s POVEveryone had expectant gazes as they watched me approach, except of course for the nurse who seemed to be struck dumb in shock and she had every right to be!I really outdid myself this time and as I matched closer I pushed up the thick-rimmed glasses to complete my perfect disguise. Technically it wasn’t perfect because these doctors outfits were stolen! Who knows? Any minute from now a siren might go off and I’d be hella busted! Still, I was willing to take the risk. I don’t know how my ill fate always managed to create such a ditch for me but I’m sure as hell was gonna cross over. “Thank you for looking after my boy” Due to the nose mask my voice sounded muffled and I took Aiden from Nicklaus arms. This little betrayer had the nerves to seem reluctant about letting go of Nicklaus! Unbelievable...“Sorry for the trouble” I said to the nurse while placing Aiden in his stroller and trying to signal her to remain muted lest she moves her blabber of a mouth and kills
