DARANA“Darana…what exactly have you gotten yourself into?” Niklaus asked slowly.I pushed him off me and grabbed a robe from the closet. I turned around to face him as I brushed imaginary dirt off me. I could feel his semen dripping out of me but that was the least of my worries.I glared at him and I could feel the anger I thought was satiated rolling off me in waves.“You know, I was also asking myself the same question. How did I get myself into all this?”“Turns out my husband is related to the man who killed my parents!” I spat.“Who told you Elijah killed them?” He asked as he rose to get dressed.“Why are you so certain he didn't?” I retorted back.His eyes narrowed and he took his attention off me to button his pajama shirt. “I didn't say that.”“You're implying it.” I roared. He shook his head and turned away from me heading towards the bed. “You shouldn't be digging into Elijah.”“You can't stop me." I replied, crossing my arms.“How did you find out he was the one that k

DARANA“Now, shall we?” He asked as his gaze turned heated. He licked his lips in a way that reminded me of a predator watching a prey meet its doom.I braced myself as I sat on the bed away from him. We’ve had sex before and seen each other’s genitals. No big deal there.It was just the whole circumstance under which it was happening that made it unnerving. “Go on, Darana. Ask.” He drawled in a way that made my skin crawl. Not exactly from fear but in anticipation.“What are you trying to hide?” I asked immediately and he smiled and moved closer. His hands found the hook of my bra and I hitched a breath.He smiled. “Nothing.” My bra fell off my shoulders. It took me a second to process what happened and I glared at him. “You tricked me. That wasn’t an answer.”“That wasn’t a question.” he replied calmly and leaned back. His eyes raked over my form taking extra time on my exposed breasts. I refused to feel shame and cursed him under my breath. Bastard!I had just two questions left.

Chapter 38DARANA“Where have you been?” A voice belonging to no one other than Niklaus filled the room as soon as the lights came on.“Out.” I muttered as I pushed myself off the door. I avoided his gaze as I went about to do my business, shuffling through my closet for the perfect nightwear.There was a moment of pin drop silence before he spoke again. “Darana, is something wrong? You don't even look happy to see me.” He stated with a soft sigh.“Just tired. It's been a long day.” I replied with my back to him. My hands trembled and I lost the grip on the clothes I was holding.I watched them fall to the floor. Everything was falling apart and even my clothes didn't want to stay on.I didn't notice him by my side until he handed me the clothes and rubbed my shoulder.“You know I'll always be here when things fall apart. I'll pick them up for you.” he said with a light chuckle.When I gave no response, he frowned. “Darana, what's wrong? You look so gloomy?”“It's nothing.” I said,

DARANA“You need to come, right now.” She said in an alarmingly tone. “I’ll give you the details when you arrive.” She paused for breath. “Also, bring Juniper along with you.”The line went dead before I could ask for more information. I couldn’t figure out what she wanted to tell me so the only option I was left with was to rush over as soon as I could.“Juniper,” I yelled from across the hallway. “Pack your things, we’re leaving.”*********** “Where’s she?” Gemma inquired.“Downstairs with Reggie and Adrika.” I muttered as I plopped down on her couch. “Should I even ask how you knew she was back?” I asked slowly.She rose an eyebrow. “Girl, I have a tracker in her phone.” she revealed like it was no big deal.I was going to say more but the way her expression changed from passive to really serious had me going mute. I knew she was about to reveal why she called me over.“How are things with Niklaus?” Everything is still feeling like paradise?”I flinched and it didn’t pass her noti

DARANA“I don’t trust Niklaus.” Juniper said once we were alone. I gave a soft laugh and released my feet from the heels that had enslaved them all day. I gave them a gentle squeeze and leaned back against the bed.“As you should.” I said calmly and began to discard the rest of my clothes for something more comfortable.“You’re confusing me. You were acting all lovey-dovey with him some minutes ago. You’re not even going to ask me why I said I don’t trust him?” She asked, bewildered.“Honey,” I muttered with a sigh as I walked to my closet. “It’s all a game.” I mused.“A game? Rana what are you….”“You shouldn’t stay here.” I said suddenly, cutting her off. “Why?” She asked, confusion spread all over her face.“Because I said so. You would leave by weekend to stay with Gemma and the rest.” I said in a tone that carried no room for argument.Juniper was silent for a moment but I knew the wheels in her head were turning. “I know I said I wanted to see the house and I was so excited to

NIKLAUSI disengaged myself from Darana's body. With one last look at her sleeping form, I headed for the balcony to clear my head.I lit a cigar as I stared at the dark sky. Just as black as my soul. No amount of curse words could justify how much of an asshole I was.Or how shattered Darana would feel when she realised that I was just using her. I glanced back and sighed.It had to be done. I had come so far already. I couldn't turn back now. I exhaled and watched as rings of smoke filled the air and gradually disappeared. There was no use delaying the inevitable. The deed was done.I retrieved my phone and dialled the number. “Is everything ready?” I asked once the line was connected.“Yes, boss.” came Muiris’s swift reply.“Good, she has to be there before we get back. No room for mistakes.”There was a momentary pause before he replied. “You have my word.”When the line went dead, I was certain a part of me died as well. But then, if I was going to be the villain, at least I ha
