View MoreBella’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? The person caught
“Push!”“Argh! Huff, huff!”“Try again, try harder. You can do it!”I’m trying, I truly am but I don’t think I can. ‘Should I just give up?“Stop zoning out, get a grip and push otherwise the baby could die of suffocation! Miss, do you hear me?! This won’t do...go get master Damien, it seems we’ll have to transfer her to the hospital for operation!”“Are you sure she’ll make it in time? It’ll be too dangerous to move her in this state!”I could vaguely hear them over my numbness. I couldn’t feel anything, I had no emotion. I was slowly slipping away just like the tears rolling down my cheeks. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to pass away like this. Melissa never wanted the baby anyways and I’d be doing myself a favour by ending my misery. If I close my eyes will everything stop? Will this all come to an end? I know I have no right to deprive my child of this world but isn’t it truly for the best? Will my love alone be enough for my child? I’m all alone in this world, wouldn’t
Arya’s POV “Hang in there” I heard with a pat on my cheek before seeing Damien’s figure fade through the door. The empty room finally gave me the courage to raise the quilt shielding my lower body. I glanced at the wet spot on my bed and deduced that my water broke! The thought of this threw me into a frenzy. To be honest I don’t think I’m ready for labor, heck! No one’s ever ready! Still, isn’t this a bit early? I know the estimate isn’t entirely correct but I’m supposed to be due five days from now! I’ve been doing a terrible job preparing myself mentally, now what? In the blink of an eye my room was swamped with preparatory equipments making me feel even more nervous. Two midwives were present and one of them came to verify my status while the other was setting up the scene.“Lie down and rest, I’ll run a check on you” I followed her instructions and my gaze fell on Damien, he was standing by the door looking lost and little confused. Which was expected, he wasn’t a docto
Summer was fading away like the floating of dry leaves that signifies the arrival of autumn. From the distance chattering of branches to the sunny delight of a new day everything warmed Arya’s heart. In a few days she should be welcoming her new born and although she’s over the moon at this thought, she’s also wary of the experience. After all giving birth isn’t an easy sport. But the idea of having midwives around who cater to her needs soothed her heart. Standing with her huge belly by the window she clasped her fingers to make a silent prayer and you could take a guess at her prayers! Of course top on the list was to make sure Nicklaus never gets to find her. Leaving their entanglement with a child aside, there’s a rooted grudge hidden in her heart against him. He too bears the blame for the fire incidence and the last thing she wanted was to get involved with the Harringtons again. Melissa would definitely not want that either.“Don’t your feet hurt from standing? Here, let me
“Come to my office”Few minutes later Nicklaus door opens and close to reveal Klaus, decked in his formal suit that always makes him look sharp and attentive.“You sent for me” His words finally lifts Nicklaus head and his eyes had on their habitual coldness. Lately every member of Harringtons group has been sitting on hot pot. Nicklaus was like a ticking bomb that would go off any moment and as such everyone was threading with caution. “Yes, I want you to relay this message to the search team”.The room stayed quiet for a while before he finally announced. “Tell them to stop their mode of searching”.Klaus expression turned strange but it wasn’t as strange as the words he just heard. Nicklaus wanting to stop the search was unbelievable! Without a doubt he’s been going crazy these past months. Klaus was more concerned about the outcome of this decision than the phrase he just uttered. Because of this thoughts Klaus took a closer look at Nicklaus and realized things may not be
Arya’s POV “My baby the butterflies are beautiful aren’t they? Just look at them flutter their feathers without a care in the world. This is how life should be, peaceful and...”My slender fingers massaging my huge belly paused, I can’t seem to bask in harmony for a minute longer. I try to deny it but Nick’s constant search for me is driving me nuts! Why won’t he believe I’m dead? Why?!I’ve already been declared dead, he has no solid evidence of my existence so why the relentless search! What else can I do to get this man off my back? I’m freaking tired! I’m trying my best to keep my emotions in check but I’m sure as hell Nicklaus is a curse sent to run me to my grave!My due date is close and that alone is already enough pressure. It’s been five months since the fire incidence, why won’t he give up?The scenery that caught my fancy through my windows no longer had the spark in my eyes. The thought of Nicklaus always had the power of ruin my mood. I guess he’d be thrilled to
