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
Frieren’s POV Once upon a time I wanted to disappear forever, I wanted to just exist but not live, I wanted to walk without footprints. I thought that was my only option but I thought wrong!Life is precious and I’m not gonna let anyone steal it away from Aiden and I. I’m gonna fight for what’s ours. That’s what a mother should do, give their child the best of life. Tonight the show begins! The royal family is hosting a party for aristocrats, this occurrence happens quite often but tonight is different. The party being thrown is a masked themed party, courtesy of Damien. He offered the suggestion to provide a smooth sailing for our plans. It’s been over a month since I found out Anna’s the culprit and in that period we spent our time gathering information about her and now it’s finally showtime!Of course Damien had an invitation sent to her. I bet she’d be too busy jubilating over the rare opportunity to notice something’s off but then again that’s exactly what I want. I’ve be
“Are you gonna attend the party?” Klaus voice hit Nicklaus in his zoned out mind. A small breath escaped his lips as he responded.“It’s not like I have a choice. We’ll make it quick”Honestly Klaus wasn’t any different, he dearly wished he could skip the event too. His date was Mia and that to him was enough reason not to attend but it was an official request so not attending would send a wrong message. With Nicklaus back still turned to him he said “what’s your plan? The detained perpetrator was killed by Juliet which means there’s no more witness”“I know what it means” Nicklaus sharply remarked. It could be said that he was in a fowl mood tonight. “Are you really okay?” Silence was met with his words and Klaus being himself didn’t know when to stop. “You ended the search for her so suddenly, what’s your plan. It’s unlike you to give up, is there really no other reason for your decision?”Silence reigned again and just when Klaus was about to walk out of his office Nicklaus
Frier’s POV I followed the path I was directed to and it led me to a secluded area that had many doors. Between the corridors I saw Damien standing outside one of them and that’s where I halted my steps. The door before us was slightly ajar and I could hear Anna’s voice feign ignorance to the questioning. The urge to go in took the best of my judgement but Damien’s hands withheld my arm.“Don’t” His calm tone seemed to make me fight it out and I let out a breath of frustration. It wasn’t like we were going to kill her, I just wanted nothing more that to twist her neck with a slap!I must be in the spirit of handing out slaps tonight. The thought of this jogged my conversation with Nicklaus and I contemplated telling Damien. After a brief moment of thinking, I didn’t tell him, not that my telling him would’ve made much difference. What’s done is done and there was nothing he could do about it so it’s best not to bring it up. Right now, let’s focus on the matter at hand!Getti
Frier’s POVI’m pretty sure he wasn’t expecting expecting such a response. Seeing as his expression instantly shifted and he blurted “how’d you know?” I could tell he regretted asking but it was already out there. He walked right into the trap I had set and now it’s time to play the ultimate card!While staring at him I casually said “Earlier I was approached by your brother for the same reason but it’s fine, I’ll take off my mask”From the corners of my eyes I saw Lucious scan the room and landed his gaze on Nicklaus and as expected Nicklaus was staring at us with great intensity. There’s no better way to h Lucious interested than bringing up Nicklaus. Maybe it’s a childhood trauma response, I didn’t know but it sure works on him. Lucious stared back at me and I was already loosening the ribbon of my mask. He suddenly held my hands to stop me.“Wait, don’t”I acted ignorant and said “why? Aren’t you curious?”He released my hands and tried to act as cool as a cucumber but I saw t
Bella’s POV It’s safe to say the dance was a disaster. With Louis lips bruised from Klaus punch, both grown ass men held themselves by the collar in such a dignified gathering. If they weren’t ashamed, I was! Klaus parents were around and that’s enough guilt for tonight! I had even talked with them earlier, they seemed nice and accommodating but sadly only I knew the reason why they suddenly decided to calm their nerves with me. “Stop it!” I angrily roared some sense into them as I motioned “let’s get some fresh air” I knew they had a lot to say, even if no one did Klaus definitely had a lot to shout about. I’ve been ignoring him for months and suddenly I appear in gatherings with Louis. This wasn’t the first but it’s unfortunately the first we both attended. It couldn’t be helped anyways. I knew this would happen sooner or later and I’m prepared to lay it out with Klaus tonight. I didn’t know where Mia went but when we got out she was no where in sight. It was just the three o
