Chapter 76Klaus"Were you able to find anything?" I asked the very moment Daemon stepped inside the room. We had both snuck into the human realm together, and upon arrival, our goal had been to find Lisa. And now that we had accomplished that part of the plan, I had tasked Daemon with spying and digging into Hayley's life in the human realm. "Yes," Dameon answered, and my heart skipped a beat at the sound of his words. This was the first time he was giving me a positive response, and I was already dying with curiosity.Daemon took a deep breath before slinking into a seat. "She lives a few blocks from the city park, and it seems she's living with another man. I don't know for sure what their relationship is, but he's definitely an inmate of the residence." I felt my blood curdle after hearing those words. Lisa was living with another man?! Who was he, and why would he be staying with her and my son? Lisa didn't get remarried after reaching the human world, did she? My mind was runn

Chapter 75Klaus My grip tightened even more, and I could tell she was scared about the fury in my eyes. "You don't get to make that decision, Lisa. He's my son too." I reminded her, but Lisa wasn't listening.She shook her head vehemently, a look of defiance and disgust bold on her face. "You've never been a father to him, Klaus. You've only ever thought about yourself. He's better off without you."My eyes darkened further, and this time my grip became tight enough to actually inflict harm on her. Lisa flinched at how tight I was holding her, but that didn't seem to bother me. Looking at her, I could only feel rage. I thought these feelings would change after meeting her in person, but that clearly hadn't been the case. Lisa was a selfish monster, and nothing she said was going to change my mind anytime soon. She had left without even saying a word to me, she took my son away from me without minding the danger that could have come to him. She knew her importance in my life, yet sh

Chapter 74LisaKlaus's presence loomed behind me, the weight of his gaze palpable. I turned slowly, forcing myself to meet his eyes. He looked the same just—handsome, cold, and devoid of any emotions. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, and only then did I catch a glimpse of emotion in his eyes. It was rage, and I had an idea about why he was angry."What am I doing here?" he repeated, a dark look suddenly taking over his emotionless face. "You didn't think you'd be able to hide from me forever did you, Lisa? You didn't think you'd get away with this, did you?" Klaus thundered, his rage palpable, but I really couldn't care less. The only thing about him that managed to surprise me was his presence in the human world, but that didn't matter much anymore. He was here, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had hoped that I was imagining things, but this was clearly reality. "You're not going to say anything?" He continued after realizing my silence. "I don't have anything

Chapter 73Lisa My heart skipped a beat, and I froze, the fork suspended halfway to my mouth. I scanned the restaurant, but everything seemed normal—diners chatting, waiters bustling about. Yet, the nagging feeling wouldn't leave me. Klaus was here. I could feel it in every fiber of my being."Lisa? You okay?" Steven's voice pulled me back to the present."Uh, yeah. Just...a little distracted," I replied, forcing a smile. I couldn't let Steven suspect anything. Not now. This was my first attempt at a normal human date, and I couldn't afford to make it weird both for myself and for Steven."Are you sure? You look like you've seen a ghost," he pressed, concern etched on his face."I'm fine, really," I insisted, trying to shake off the unease. "Just a bit tired from work."Steven nodded, accepting my explanation. But my mind was already racing. Why was Klaus here? Had he found me? I tried to convince myself that it was impossible for Klaus to break the rules, but knowing him he probably

Chapter 72LisaTwo years had passed since I escaped from Klaus and entered the human world, and so far everything had been going great. Aiden was the best brother I could ask for, and Damian was growing up just fine. With Aiden's help, I had managed to secure a job for myself, and now I was helping around the house as well. It was difficult making new friends, but I had managed to make a few."Send the files over to Mr Black's desk to sign, then get me a cup of coffee afterwards." Hugo, the assistant manager, instructed me and I immediately got straight to carrying out the duties. I was the work assistant at a relatively big company, but work assistant was just a fancy name for slaves around here, not that I really noticed the excess work. I had more stamina than my coworkers, so I couldn't really relate to their incessant complaints of being overworked. I took the files from Hugo and immediately strutted straight to Steven Black's office. He was the only person in the office that I

Chapter 71LisaAiden stared at me as though I had lost my mind, but I couldn't be more serious at the moment, and he could see that. I thought it might all be a crazy coincidence, but it couldn't be at this moment. I didn't know what it was, but we had a connection. It wasn't a mate bond, and I'd never been able to figure it out until now. "Y..you're joking right..?" Aiden stammered as he stared into my luminous eyes. The happiness in them was palpable, and that was more than enough to suggest that I wasn't just making it up. He had reasons to not trust my words, and it was perfectly understandable. He probably thought that I was a greedy stranger who was trying to run him dry by claiming to be his sister. He probably thought this was a plot in my grand scheme to extend my stay and finally steal his property. It was okay for him to have his doubts, and I wouldn't blame him if he loses his cool and tries to kick me out. However, none of those things happened. Instead, Aiden broke d
