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
Frieren’s POVMy jaw dropped, I was beyond flabbergasted! It appeared as if time stopped for a moment but I’m pretty sure it was my brain that lost motion. “What’re you talking about?” I managed to get out but shock and distress was still visibly smeared over my face.“I didn’t mean to startle you but that’s the best solution right now. If you get my surname there’s no way the Harringtons would be able to take Aiden from you. Even if they find out there’ll be nothing they can do”Our midst fell back in silence and my head lowered in thoughts. His words were reasonable but things weren’t that easy. I wanted to speak but he spoke first.“Of course I’ll give you a formal proposal” Did he think I was like this because I was disappointed in his proposal? The thought alone was baffling and a weak smile stretched my lips.“I can’t burden you with that...”“It’s not a burden, I want to help you in anyway possible”In his eyes I saw a desperate need for acceptance but I couldn’t give him
Frieren’s POV My entire being shuddered, the room wasn’t so cold but I felt my hairs stand on edge. I hadn’t recover from the first hit and here comes another.His words implied that Anna and Shawn aren’t Andrew’s children, which also means we aren’t related!I couldn’t comprehend the shock waves surfing through my head. My eyes met his with uneasiness clearly visible. “Are you sure of this news? Anna and Shawn aren’t Andrew’s children?”He understood my plight and explained further.“That’s what he claims, he also revealed the DNA test result. It past the authentication”I took a loud gasps for air, nothing of this made sense. First Anna tried to kill me and now this? I had my eyes on outsiders when in reality it was from my own household. We no longer had any connection, why would she suddenly do such a dreadful thing? My eyes were bloodshot red, just thinking about it made me livid!“What about Anna, does she know who her real father is?”As expected Damien shook his head
