Frier’s POV“…what is it?”How on earth do I respond to such? The thing with Damien is rather complex and simple at the same time. He’s helping me get revenge and even though he says it’s okay for me to use him, I know he likes me so I’m aware of what he wants in return but sadly I can’t give it to him.Was that what I’m supposed to say to her?!“He’s a friend from college”I honestly don’t know why I bother with this excuse. Nicklaus didn’t buy it and from the look on her face, I’m guessing she didn’t buy it either. “That’s disappointing, Damien’s description of you was much more enthusiastic”My lips paused…did he tell her I was his first love?“Anyhow you look at it your response was shallow. Not all college friends live together, in fact, it’s rather rare, don’t you agree miss Frieren?”I felt a headache coming on, she was leading me somewhere. Was it necessary to drag it out like this? “I understand what you mean, Your Highness. It’s true my relationship with your brother
“Careful” Damien’s voice echoed in the study as his hands swiftly moved to catch Frier’s falling head. The sudden impact didn't wake her instead she snuggled against his palm and he had no choice but to keep the posture. Truth be told he wasn't complaining. Watching her sleep in his arms was a reality he'd want to dwell longer in but time was ticking and he had to leave but not before carefully carrying her bridal style to her room and gently placing her on the bed. With Aiden’s sleeping figure beside her bed, the scene looked picture-perfect. The mother and son duo was taking a long nap but that wasn't what was going through Damien’s head. He only thought of how he could keep on protecting them. They have no link so it’s going to be harder to keep them by his side in the future. After a prolonged moment of watching them, he left and slowly closed the door.Time passed and it was nightfall, he knocked and gently pushed open the door only to reveal the same scene he left behin
Bella’s POV‘What’s going to happen next for me and Klaus?’Am I crazy to think that now? After spending a night with him? Probably…but I can't help but wonder. “You should go home, Bella” Emily’s voice broke my reverie and I immediately spread a smile across my cheeks.“You can’t get rid of me that easily, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be with you until you get discharged…”“That’s not what I mean-”“I know what you’re going to say” I cut her off. “Amiee is fine, I call her every day. She can take care of herself for the time being so I'm stuck with you”. I felt smug about my piece but her next words completely threw my pride out the window and replaced it with shame.“You stink girl, go home and wash up”“Oh…that’s what you meant” I breathed and took a sniff of myself. “Ewww…fine I’ll go but I’ll be back before you can even blink”“Please take your time” she teased with an eye roll and I clicked my tongue in defiance.“What will I do with you? You’re so cute when you act ungr
Frier’s POV“Help me…I don't want to die, what I'm saying is for your own good, leave the Harrington’s alone!”“But mother…”I tried to speak but I was more concerned about how shaky my voice turned out. I placed my hands on my throat and when I lifted them before my eyes, they were covered in blood but the blood wasn’t mine!Where was I?…This looked like the villa that caught on fire. All that was left were fragments of the building and ashes smeared all over.“Are you there mother?” I called out but there was no response. My words echoed back but instead of fading away it got louder. I could hear my voice from all parts of the remains. It was taunting me. The voice that mirrored mine kept on getting louder and sharper. It felt like it was closing in on me and I had no choice but to cover my ears in panic.“Stop! Stop it!” I kept shouting but my words were swallowed by the continuous echoing. I broke down in tears, the warm liquid kept streaming down. I was wailing and slowly d
Bella’s POVI feel like a fool for anticipating 7pm but I don’t care. I kept stealing glances at my watch, hoping it’ll clock in at seven but time was playing tricks with me. I was bold enough to delude myself that I was this edgy because I was partially jobless. Emily has been discharged and I was currently at her apartment with her. There wasn't much I was needed for, she was back to normal but I chose to stick around. Amiee already told me not to come home tonight anyway.“I’ll cook you something, your hands shouldn't touch water”“Are you going to bathe me too?”There was an awkward silence before I suddenly raised my voice. “Of course I will!”“You’re a pervert! Pfft!”She exploded in laughter and I joined in harmony. Eventually, she cooked with me, it was fun and cheerful with music playing from the speakers. Surprisingly Emily and I shared similar choices of songs. Our taste was peculiar but it was even more bizarre because we both had a hidden reason for liking the songs s
Arya’s POVI’m yet to find out who was responsible for taking me and Damien’s photo, there wasn’t any reporter in sight so the person must be an informant to social outlets and of course, Damien was a huge source of inspiration to those gossip suckers but what’s even worse is Nicklaus standing here with me. “What’re you doing here?” I asked while secretly clenching the results the nurse had given me. “Shouldn’t I be here when my wife regains her identity?” I scoffed at his words. So openly shameless, then again that was Nicklaus’s style, I’ve passed the stage of being baffled by his words, and now I’m just trying to find his limits but unfortunately, this man had none!“Come home with me” There were no words to describe my expression and it was this scene that Damien walked in on. He must’ve heard Nicklaus outrageous offer. Damien’s presence shadowed me but he wasn’t as tall as Nicklaus. That man was simply a seven-foot statue laced in black embroidery. “You should really con
Bella's POVI was inclined to ask Klaus why he called to cancel and then miraculously showed up at my doorstep but I didn’t so I figured he was trying to surprise me but why?Nonetheless I stayed silent on the ride until he asked.“Any place in mind you wanna go?”For a second I was stunned, I thought he had everything planned out, from the look of things, there really wasn’t an issue earlier. I couldn’t hold back my curiosity anymore.“What happened earlier when you called to cancel?” I know replying to a question with a question wasn’t ideal but I just had to know. I noticed his grip on the steering wheel tighten before he spoke.“I made plans for a dinner with my parents when I asked for your evening but…they had some things to do and traveled”Am I tripping or it sounded as if his parents traveled to avoid me?! That couldn’t be it, right? “Sorry, I shouldn’t have canceled on you. We can choose whatever way to spend the evening” He glanced at me and smiled making my previous
“I love you”Klaus's husk voice whispered into Bella’s ear before drifting to sleep with his hands wrapped around her naked figure. It was safe to say Bella didn’t hear a word he said. She was long gone after the wash -up and just coiled her body into the sheets.But then who could blame her? It was still dark but only because these days had longer nights! They’ve been at it for hours and it was now three in the morning so she definitely needed her nap. Time passed and it became morning. The sunlight sipping through the window’s huge curtains casted a vague light on their naked bodies but it wasn’t enough to wake Bella up. She was totally lax from all the hectic activities of last night so Klaus was the first to wake up. He groaned as he turned on his back and sat by the bed side. His head turned to behold Bella’s sleeping frame and he tucked the blanket over her properly. His first instinct was to wash up but as he journeyed to the bathroom he found her purse that was tossed asi
