View MoreBella’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 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 I still remember the exquisite design of the card in my possession that night. It made me curious to know what was inside but my curiosity level wasn’t that intense to peel it open in his presence so I waited till I was alone. Amiee was awake when I got in, she noticed my drunken state and offered me a glass of water before continuing playing on her iPad. Of course I received the glass in good faith, my throat was sore and dry from weeping. After which I made my way to the bedroom to freshen up.The card on my bed shelve caught my attention before I got the chance to turn off my bedside lamp. I picked it up and glanced at Amiee’s peaceful sleeping figure. The image of Arya sleeping in that position keeps flashing in my vision, having a saddening effect but I was powerless against it. I cried so much earlier that I had no strength left to fulfill my depressed mood at the moment.Eventually I looked away and opened the invitation. I was instantly stunned at its content. Wa
Bella’s POV Our meet up location wasn’t too elaborate but I refrained from picking a restaurant that we visited in the past. For obvious reasons I didn’t want to worsen my mental health. I thought I arrived early but Emily was already seated so I took my sit with heaviness. The corner we chose was closest to the window and I found Emily staring through the glass like a wounded lion vying to penetrate the mind of a human. “Uhm mm” I cleared my throat to grab her attention and it worked. Immediately her eyes rested on me a broad smile formed on her lips but it seemed foreign in comparison to her previous joyful smiles. Her unparalleled joviality was no where to be seen. The look in her eyes was just a hollow vague cast of her past self.There was an awkward silence in the air, none of us could ask the other how we were doing because these past few months have been a hell of a ride for us.“Have you ordered anything?” I tried to mange the situation. “Not yet, I really don’t wanna e
Bella’s POV One by one my steps slowed down by a roadside bench and I took a very difficult sit. The evening breeze kept swirling the dried leaves swamped on the ground but that’s the least expected as I took refuge in the shades of a tree.It’s long branches shielded my wandering heart from dismay. I went out alone and it’s only right I walk back alone, well at least that’s what I’d like to tell myself was the reason for declining his ride offer while in reality I was just too confused and embarrassed to accept his offer. His voice still replayed in my brain like a wireless tape. ‘Curiosity does kill the cat’ That awkwardness would’ve been avoided if I wasn’t so interested in finding out his relationship with me. I feel stupid for insisting, now I know and it’s only making me question my choices in life so far. I remained seated on the bench as I replayed the entire conversation in my head. “How’d you know me? Tell me and I’ll try to remember” He didn’t seem hesitant at al
Bella’s POV I followed him out without looking back though I could bet Klaus face would’ve been fun to watch. I just wasn’t in the mood to mess around, the latest news about Arya was still eating me up and I wanted nothing more than to drink till I forget my sorrows. With this thought in mind I made a bow to the man standing by the entrance.“Thank you for your help, I’ll be on my way then”The cold breeze made me shiver but I fought against it. Thanks to Klaus I wore so little, it wasn’t my intention to come all the way here but my legs had other plans. I turned to leave but his words halted my steps.“I feel hurt that you don’t remember me”My attention refocused on him and as expected he was staring at me for a reaction but I had none. He had a peculiar aura and appearance, there was no way I wouldn’t have remembered him if we met in the past, still I couldn’t be rude and asked back.“Do you know me?”I looked a hot mess right now, that’s the least expected after all the earlier
Bella’s POV “Keep your voice down, it would do no good to wake my sister” My words shot straight ahead without glancing at the man before me. His face, I didn’t want to behold, not even for a second! They all make me sick to my stomach!“How long are you gonna keep avoiding me?-”“Shut up! I don’t want to hear your pleas or excuses. If you didn’t say it was about Arya I wouldn’t have come out so please get to the point!”My voice was shaky as well, just mentioning her name was breaking my vocals. I sniffed a breath to hold back my tears and hardened my gaze.“Go ahead, what is it you have to say?”Even though I tried to act cool my tone still had a desperate longing for hope, is it possible to get some good news?...I thought as I watched on but Klaus expression was hard to read, his head was lowered and that sunk the glimmer of hope floating in my guts. The little light in my eyes dimmed as I heard him say with a slightly lifted head.“Have you been well? You’ve lost a lot of weig
“Didn’t you get my orders?”Adam’s cold voice spoke at the other end of the phone but Nicklaus was unfazed. “I don’t wish to see you, it is but the last string of bloodline that forces me to take your call”His words caused a shrill laughter to escape Adam’s lips. “Why did you announce the content of your mother’s death without my consent?! This isn’t a simple topic you can make public as you please!”At Nicklaus end of the call there was only darkness in his solemn room, it’s been a while he returned here, his previous nights were spent in his office and it couldn’t be said that his bed missed his presence because he couldn’t find sleep even if he tried!The only times his bed felt his warmth were the days when it was shared with her and that very thought was the beginning of the longing pain he felt while sitting at the edge of the king-sized bed. “Shouldn’t you ask about the killer of your beloved?...” a mocking laugh followed suit as he added “...oh that’s right, I learned y
“Our search was proven futile”The news reached Nicklaus like a slap to the face but he maintained his poise. Nothing of this was new to him, he expected this much when he embarked on a journey to find someone who was declared dead still, it broke him every time he was reminded of the possibility.His only grounds are speculations, nothing else but guts feelings. What if she really is dead and he’s too delusional to accept this? Sometimes this thoughts floods his mind, as much as the optimistic side of him reigns he couldn’t deny the opposite side of the coin still existed! Will he be able to handle it?What if he’s already losing his mind thinking she’s still alive?These intrusive thoughts gets bolder by the day and as he stood against his broad window he clenched his fist to gain control of his raging mind.“Nicklaus”Klaus calling out stole his attention and he turned halfway with a raised brow.“Are you sure it’s a good idea bringing up your mother’s case?
