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
Watching them bring her down successfully brought great relief to Bella’s beating heart. With the way she kept calling out her name, if anything tragic has happened she’d have surely be blamed for it. The series of events that played out tonight gave her a headache. Just thinking about it brought about formed a snowball of uneasiness in her hearts. Deep down she knew she’d have a nightmare tonight and the nightmare would probably be a scene of Mia falling to her death and blaming her as she falls. Indeed it sounded ridiculous but that was how shook she was. She knew people did drastic things for love but this was her first time experiencing it first hand! It was outrageous!When the show ended with Mia touched ground in whole, the crowd dispersed and she was carried away for a checkup while Bella didn’t hesitate to follow Louis. She didn’t even want to glance at Klaus. As far as she was concerned the conversation they were having was over. Thinking about Mia’s fruitless display m
Frier’s POVA few days ran by and it was the date for my dinner with Lucious. I didn’t have any special thing planned for today. To be honest I wasn’t even excited. It was the weekend so Jane wasn’t around but I made a special request for her to come over in the evening. Apparently her parents resides here in this city. She was applying to become a maid at the palace when Damien intercepted her file. I’d say this is a rather lucky win. She’s paid same salary with the maids at the palace. Of course the pay is high but there’s work to be done, unlike here where it’s strictly babysitting. There’re maids here for the cleaning and a chef for preparing meals. Everything’s in order and all I have to do is just live. The life of a royal is truly divine. I was never a fan of cooking so I’m definitely loving the chef aspect. All my favorite food is prepared when I need it and I don’t even have to lift a finger. This is truly paradise, it’s just that I can’t live here forever. I’m gonna r
Bella’s POV After my long awaited video call with Arya I felt energized for the day. Seeing Aiden look so healthy warmed my heart. I’m so glad things turned out like this but right now I had my plate full enough to feed a nation. Louis invited his parents to M country and a welcoming party is going to be thrown. There’s nothing strange about a welcoming party except for the fact that he was planning to formally introduce me to his parents. According to him they were well aware of his search for me over the years, they also know I’m the reason why he came here. Just thinking about the expectations made me crazy nervous, my experiences with parents hasn’t been a record to look back on. Sometimes I couldn’t help wondering if I’m the problem!Maybe I could say my parents never wanted kids from the start and I was purely a mistake that refused to be aborted even after their tries and maybe I could also blame the issue with Klaus parents on the betrothal contract that only described ou
Bella’s POV Naturally Klaus took a seat beside Mia and that seat happened to be directly opposite me which also meant Mia sat facing Louis and earlier I thought I was tripping but it turns out I wasn’t.She’s been stealing glances at Louis since we arrived and I didn’t know what to make of this.Wasn’t she obsessed with marrying Klaus why does her gaze towards Louis appear somewhat longing or am I imagining things?Mia being the social animal that she was forked up a piece of side dish that I haven’t even seen in my life and placed it on Louis mother’s plate. “Try this pair, it’s really good” She bloomed a smile that no one found awkward but I knew something was off. Isn’t she supposed to give that to Klaus mom? She’s been relentless about entering their family, now what?“Is that so?” Louis mom said with a full smile and tried out the combo. “You’re right, it is good”My gaze moved to the satisfied smile on Mia’s face and I only got more confused. What could she be playing
Bella’s POV My brain wasn’t functioning at this point. Mia’s words hit harder than a freaking time bomb! No one was left out of the shock waves passing through the quiet dinning. Klaus mom was the first to react. “What’d you just say?”The news had caused both parents to stand and I felt Louis grip on my wrist loosen. He looked more dejected than any of us as he walked up to Mia. Surprisingly she didn’t have an ounce of regret or guilt laced in her gaze, if anything she looked pleased to announce the news.So this was why she did it? She released the contract of me and Klaus to make Louis parents hate me, so she’d have a better chance of being accepted by them!“What’re you talking about? Pregnant for me, how?”looking at him question her was like watching a soap opera. A reality drama with a view better than a 5D display. “I’m sorry I had to tell you like this but it’s the truth. I’m pregnant for you Louis”“What nonsense is that?!”Suddenly I wasn’t the center of attraction
Bella’s POV I didn’t dare withdraw my doe eyes that were staring into his darkened gaze. In his eyes I saw my reflection and truth be told, I couldn’t even recognize myself. The mixture of lust and love was a combo that could drive even the calmest of person insane! And I wasn’t an exception. In one breath I said “don’t hold back”He used his lips to reply my words and finally released my hands to balance my neck in the kiss, drawing me closer and sucking just about everything I had. I was moaning and quaking against his sliding fingers and it didn’t help that he kept on swallowing my gasps for air. His rapid movements were centered on drawing lustful pleasures from my depths and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was working!It wasn’t easy to keep my eyes open especially when there was a pair of huge emerald eyes boring into mine with immerse intensity. I took the opportunity to undo his buttons and he did the rest by peeling off his shirt and revealing his well carved abs to my l
