The eight year old Klara held her hands together in fear and curled her body to the bed crying out loud. She closed her eyes and covered her ears with her hands when she heard gun shots and more screams. She held her breath wailing loudly when the door of the room kicked open.“Klara…my darling daughter”She looked at Louis who rushed towards her dodging the flames with his leather jacket. “Father”She bellowed extending her hands and threw her tiny body into his embrace. “Don’t cry darling. Let’s get you out of here” Louis said lifting Klara up and the little girl in his embrace hugged his neck tightly burying her face into his nape. Louis covered Klara’s body with his jacket and ran out hurriedly. Everything was so haze in Klara’s mind. All she remembered was her suffocation from the smoke, screams and gun shots. She lifted her head and looked over Louis’ shoulder hearing Ralph’s voice and saw a figure similar to her dad hiding in the corner behind Mother Julia who was wa
“Master, Finn hasn’t gotten his hands on the new route to the gold mine” Milo reported to Ralph who is watering the lilies in the garden. After the powerhouse destruction four months ago, Enrico and Lucas were very careful with their properties. They closed all the routes to reach the gold mines and it’s sill hard to find the exact path they’re using to work in the mine. Ralph expected the results as he’s well aware of Klara’s schemes. She must’ve warned Enrico to secure all their mines ahead. How generous? Poor Ralph…he is still thinking that the powerhouse belonged to Ric as that’s what the world knew but only few knew who the powerhouse really belonged to. This is another misunderstanding between Klara and Ralph regarding Enrico. First he thought the bruise on her neck which was caused by Ric’s nail as hickey from Ric and then he thought she’s helping Ric by warning him about the attacks. He wanted to destroy the Kingsters east coast mine in a month after powerhouse destr
Enrico wished to take away Klara with him because this is his only chance to disappear along with her without alerting others but knowing Klara’s personality she would cause ruckus and she’ll only hate him as her heart still belonged to Ralph. To erase her feelings he has to defeat Ralph and should let her know who the real Alpha male is…..Eloping is not an option for him. He’s not a coward like his dad and didn’t want to be bossed around by Lucas. He will prove his strength and power and that day will come soon. With these thoughts he drove in the dark night as he knew the destination of Luc already because he would only visit one place at this late hour and that is…..After thirty minutes Ric pulled the car to the Casino night club basement.Klara recognized the club and was sure her brother was here to meet the mysterious woman who is messing with his brain because she remembered him making out in the suite with a lady, beautiful blonde.She covered her head with the hoodie and
“He’s here Luc”Klara said her voice trembling with fear. Both men looked at her with deep frown. Before they can ask her what she meant, she started pacing around like a mad woman clutching her hair. “He’s here, he’s here” She repeated her words looking around to find a place to hide or jump or bury or whatever to escape from the upcoming disaster. She wished she had a time machine or a vanishing machine with her to disappear from this place. “Klara…calm down”Ric held her shoulders stopping her from moving and Luc wiped her sweat with his sleeve in concern. What happened to her? Why is she acting weird all of a sudden? “What happened sister?”“Ralph..he’s here brother”Luc and Ric looked at each other, as if she wasn’t making any sense. How can he be here? Before they can open their mouths, they heard a commotion outside followed by a knock and then the guard outside spoke in loud voice.“Boss! it’s BlackWolf clan leader”The three people in the room held their breaths,
“Why are you here?”Lucas asked after sitting opposite Ralph, spreading his legs wide making it look like Ralph’s presence didn’t effect him least bit. Ric crossed his legs, eyes looking straight at Ralph and put his trembling hands in his robe pockets because he’s afraid of getting caught.He never expected Ralph’s visit and that too with Cecelia. Even though they only communicated through letters, it’s really hard to stay calm in front of the devil. They were very careful about their ruse, of course Ralph wouldn’t find them but still Ric is afraid of him. No matter how much he deny…there is always a part of him who fears Ralph. Take it his presence, stance, aura or looks or whatever. Ralph always intimidate others with his coldness and Enrico wasn’t an exception. “Since you were so desperate to have my appointment, I thought to be kind. What? Are you having second thoughts?”Lucas wasn’t stupid and knew exactly what Ralph meant. Ralph is here to talk about powerhouse and this
Lucas surprised everyone with his accusation and Klara’s blood pressure rose to maximum level hearing his words but she controlled her temper and waited for Ralph’s reaction but her brother didn’t give Ralph a chance to speak. “You don’t want to be blamed for the things you never committed while you are blaming my father of being the murderer when he didn’t kill your parents. I never saw such hypocrisy in the world’s history”Klara shook her head crawling slowly towards her brother and scratched his foot. It’s really dangerous to poke Ralph’s sore spot. This is not the time to provoke him. Why is her brother digging their own graves? Luc closed his eyes cursing himself for losing his temper. He shouldn’t have brought up the topic but he wasn’t wrong. Ralph should know the truth. His father spent years in anguish for losing Eriksons, in addition to that he bore the accusation of a killer. As a son he couldn’t tolerate injustice towards his father.Luc was intimidated by Ralph’s f
Everyone in Klara’s family and clan would buy her a gift for her birthday and Ralph got scolded once on her sixth birthday for coming home empty handed. Did he really decorate the swing to cut some slack for himself? Here she thought he did that because of his care and feelings. She wished to have Alzheimer for real to forget about this conversation. Ralph is really making her hate him more and more with his words. He is making it sound like he was forced to do everything that related to her. What about their first kiss? Did he accept it because he didn’t want to hurt her? Did he think she’ll complain to their parents if he didn’t cooperate with her? She felt bile rising up in her throat thinking about their precious first kiss. She cherished it for years but for him…it’s nothing but a burden to carry. Was he really that disgusted to be with her? What did she do to make him hate her? “For someone who didn’t remember my sister’s name had quite a memory of our old traditions. Yo
“You mean the one I kissed in front of you”Klara’s cheeks turned bright red hearing Ralph’s teasing words as she remembered his kisses. God! How can he be shameless? She was suddenly grateful to be in the dark because she didn’t want to face her brother. It’s embarrassing. How could Ralph say such words just like that?Ralph’s smile grew more as Luc’s face darkened. Why is it Roselli siblings misery always gives him pleasure than any other thing in this world? “Who is she?” asked Lucas though he knew the answer. He thought he could bully Ralph but why does it seem like he’s falling into his own trap? Ralph isn’t bothered by his questions at all, on the contrary he’s infuriating him with his answers. Despite Ralph’s laziness and Luc’s rage, Enrico was silent as he didn’t want to interact with Ralph and he’s not in the mood for a conversation because he doubted his ability to hide his nervousness. He better stay quiet less his ruse with Cecelia would be exposed and above all he h
Freya’s body froze and she sucked in cold breath staring at Lucas blankly. He startled her with his confession. Did he just say he loves her? H..how is it possible? Lucas loves her? She looked into his eyes which are as dark as night and now they’re looking at her sincerely. Her breath stuck in her throat and she almost believed his words.No way! No fucking way! He's lying. He is definitely lying because he already has someone in his heart and the woman is not just anyone but a perfect woman. He’s just trying to fool her again. “I..I don’t trust you” She said blinking away her tears but his confession still rang in her ears like a mantra.“Why?”Lucas asked, his voice lowered to one of the pleading tones and held her hands desperate to have her acceptance. He can’t live without her. He’s all good when he’s in denial about his feelings but once he realized who is in his heart he’s torn apart thinking how bad he hurt Freya. “Why? You are asking me why? You never believed in love
“Where is she?”Genevieve asked Aiden who is looking at a particular spot in a distance with his narrowed eyes. She thought an outing can be refreshing to Freya but it seems like her plan backfired. Freya is bored by museum tour and she’s nowhere to be found. “She said she’s nearby. Let’s wait”Aiden said without wavering his gaze and supported his body to the pillar deep in thoughts. Genevieve sighed leaning on his shoulder and took out her mobile to recheck her gallery so that she can post her photos on social media about the evening. “Alright! But what happened to you? Did you like that car?”Genevieve asked following his sight and Aiden shook his head embracing her as it’s cold outside but his mind is still thinking about his suspicions. There is no way he could be here because Freya would’ve told him if he’s here. And also many people in this country possess luxury cars similar to the one Lucas had. What’s more…It doesn’t have Kingsters symbol on it. Many people across t
Lucas looked around and grit his teeth seeing the crowd gathering around them after hearing Freya’s words. He didn’t want the public attention now. He is trying to be nice. Why can’t she understand?Freya struggled hard to get rid of Lucas but he dragged her to his car ignoring her protests. The audacity of this man to show up unannounced after insulting her and he’s even telling people that they are having couple fight. Bullshit! They’re never a couple. “Lucas Roselli you are…”Lucas shoved her into the back seat before she can finish her words and followed her in slamming the door shut behind him. Freya clenched her jaw gripping the front seat tight, showing her white knuckles. She wanted to scream but nothing came out as she stared into his eyes. Why is he staring at her like that? With the look of guilt. “I am sorry”Freya is taken aback by his words. An apology? Did he just say sorry to her? But why? Before she can think about the reason behind his sudden change in attitud
Daisy hugged her son tears dripping down her cheeks. Her son is back. He’s back. Her withering nerves seemed to be calm after seeing Ric. Her son is her sanity because his birth gave her hope to get healed from her depression. Ric is the object of her awakening hopes and desire to live all over again. She put her focus on her baby boy, fighting with her depression and got back her sanity so that she could nurture him and with Dr. Patrick’s treatment she got rid of her fever in just a year and since then she never looked back at her pathetic life because she’s afraid of her past and sickness which is why she hates if someone tries to ruin her family time which she painstakingly built. Ric hugged his mother rubbing her back soothingly as he knew what’s running in her mind. He knew how much she loves him and how much his absence effected her but he couldn’t avoid hurting her in the process of getting Klara. It’s just that he is helpless and he needs his mother to be strong while he’s
Wartland….Freya came out of the museum to get some fresh air, not willing to stay with the others who are admiring the emerald necklace which reminded her of Lucas and she couldn’t breathe thinking about him. It's still half past six in the evening and the weather is already so chilly. She didn’t bring her overcoat with her as she left in a hurry and it’s inside the museum. She wrapped her shawl around her shoulders but her body is shivering. She rubbed her shoulders trying to keep her warm but they are still shaking and even her teeth started to clatter because of the cold. She turned around to go inside unable to tolerate the weather but someone blocked her path and before she can see who it is her body is wrapped with a thick coat.She lifted her head and saw the person she least wanted to see on this earth. Lucas Roselli?! What is he doing here? Her lips parted a little unbeknownst to her, probably as her teeth clattered non stop but her body froze not because of the cold b
“You still haven’t answered my question”Klara asked looking at Ralph who is having dinner pretending to be in an upset mood but she very well knew he’s just trying to avoid conversation with her as he dodged her all evening. He came back at four with huge boxes and bags followed by Dylan and Milo who helped him to carry them upstairs. Since then he locked himself in his bedroom doing something which was very mysterious and even skipped training session. Weird! But she let him go as she knew he can’t be escaped from her and finally caught him in dining hall. Does he think he can be spared if he avoided her? Of course not. She is determined to know why he hid his father and why he allowed her to meet him.Ralph put down the cutlery closing his eyes. Dylan, Milo and Cecelia glanced at him from their corner of their eyes slowing down their movements. Why Fiona? Why can’t she just let them have dinner in peace?“Silence is not my answer Ralph”Klara pressed him more testing his pati
Louis didn’t say any word of protest after hearing Carl’s warning because he would do the same or more than that if someone did something to Klara or his own daughter but here the other party is his son and also Klara - the victim forgave him for his sin. So, he didn’t have a choice but to leave the matters to Klara and of course Carl and Luc can do whatever they want to his son and he’s not going to stop them.“Every three days, we will be contacting each other. Don’t miss the appointment”Carl and Louis nodded their heads agreeing with Klara, their faces glowing with happiness. Finally after ten years the best friends reunited and it’s only matter of time before they meet each other in person and she’ll work hard for it to happen. She waved her dad goodbye and tried to end the call but remembered something…“Wait! What does those numbers refer to dad?” Carl and Louis scratched their necks at the same time, their faces hiding their mischievous grins. How can they tell her about
Tears brimmed in Louis’ eyes looking at the numbers on the screen. The bastard still remembered his codes. Klara who is beside Louis is confused as her eyes locked on the screen. What does the numbers indicate? Those are not their birthdays or anyone else’s if she remembered correctly nor their wedding anniversaries, they are not special occasions. What does those imply? “Did we get him father?” She asked not understanding if they succeeded or not. “Yes”Louis said in his trembling voice and moved his fingers swiftly trying to switch to video call. Carl on the other side didn’t take much time and accepted the request.“Father, are you…”Before Klara can confirm her doubts she heard her dad’s voice from the screen.“Louis”“Carl”Carl can’t believe his eyes, he didn’t have any hope before accepting the request as he thought it’s a trap but he saw Louis. He fucking saw Louis. Is universe playing tricks with him? It's impossible. He still couldn’t believe, it’s…it’s hard to bel
Carl rested on his bed to take a quick afternoon nap but after five minutes he woke up thinking about Rocco. The last week was really terrible. Luc is trying his best to look after the clan and Ric is still missing. There is no sign of him in Andarc or Cylantra. He hoped Ric to pull himself together soon because they need him as the present situation is not in their favour. They will be good even if he’s unwilling to help them because it’s more than enough if he doesn’t cause any more troubles. His only worry right now is about Luc, he seemed to be thinking about something a lot lately. And now he’s gone to somewhere without informing about his sudden departure. What can be so important that he has to leave Cylantra at dawn using their private jet? As long as he remembered there aren’t any deals or transactions outside Cylantra.He let out a long sigh and got down the bed and went into his closet and took out his encrypted laptop. Over the years he changed many laptops but never
