Working for Klaus Chapter 39
Terrified, that was one way to put how I felt at the moment. My hands were covered in blood as Niklaus tried to keep himself together. In one way or another, I knew I had to remove the clasped metal from his foot. If I didn't do that then in a couple of minutes he would bleed to death."I'm going to do this and you have to be strong, Nick",I said nervously and he nodded in pain, his head falling back.In one, two and three my hands were on both side of the trap pulling hard as I could."I'm gonna need you to pull out your leg, Niklaus. As fast as I open this, I need you to pull your leg out, please", I strained feeling tears fall down my cheek.Frankly I didn't know why I was crying, all I knew was with the state of helplessness I was in, with Niklaus bleeding and us being in the eerie darkness ignited emotions of sadness and fear. He was going to die because of me.I pulled the dang rusty metal with all my might and I felt Niklaus slowly lift his leg from it's clutches. As immediate

It was already ten minutes since I had asked the nurse to bring Eleanor in. I was worried without a doubt, back there she seemed terrified of my blood, of seeing me in that situation and like a helpless guy I had let her go through all that.The machines beeping around me like an old grandfather clock ticking, did nothing to calm my nerves. When the door opened and a distraught Eleanor walked in, I sighed feeling relieved that she escaped with only a scratch on her forehead."Hey. H-how's your leg doing?" She asked trying to hide the tears at the brink of her eyes."Bad news is, I can walk again",I joked but her face was still as stern as ever."Niklaus you could have died! There was a lot of blood, you were struggling to breath. I thought-I thought you would die because of me""It wasn't your fault, I went out to search for you remember?""Yeah but still...you shouldn't have done that. You should have waited for Murray and the rest of the guys""What and risk Isadora finding out I di

"What do you want to do today?",she asked and with a bored look I mentally groaned,'Stay in bed all day doing nothing'"Breakfast would be nice",I gestured, slowly getting up and resting my back against the head board.Never in my life had I been this pampered. Breakfast in bed, watching movies in bed, lunch in bed, taking strolls outside the garden and ironically bedtime stories with her. The first few weeks were great, learning something new about her everyday, getting to know her passions, mastering her intoxicating smell because she was always so near me.We took strolls in the garden often and she expressed her love for lilies. When I asked her why she didn't like roses like most women did, she fired back that she wasn't like other women something I had to firmly agree with. Her favorite flowers were the tiger lilies which she claimed had a sweet scent that simply made her drawn to them unlike the white lilies and the day lilies.'You know it's good once in a while to enjoy some

"All set?" I asked once we got in the car. Mrs Jenna had visited and I was actually happy to see her. She surprised me when she said that she only found out about Niklaus' accident today. Ofcourse I knew Nick liked to keep things to himself, loved to be isolated but for God's sake Mrs Jenna was his mother and she deserved to know about his accident.Regardless for the few weeks I had spent with him, things between us were- I would say good. Underneath that grumpy cold gorgeous exterior, deep down Niklaus was a big softie like a giant teddy bear I wanted to squeeze in my arms forever. I know it was pathetic of me, pathetic to even dream that he would look at me the same way he did Isadora, but a girl could only hope, right?I could only hope that watching movies together while cuddling, taking afternoon strolls in the garden while laughing at anything that came to mind, stargazing while we camped just outside the house...that somehow he had the same warm fuzzy feelings in his heart li

"Everything is all set, Sir",the manager of the 7 Mirrors Restaurant peered at me and I showed my gratitude with just a mere nod.I had rented the whole restaurant to ourselves, to be alone with her for the entire night. I looked around feeling as if everything would be too much for her. For example the ensemble playing classical music, was it too much? Or was the food too much?Courtesy of the chef, on our table adorned in white petals were different cuisines like Kobe Beef, almas beluga caviar and black truffle brie Cheese served on a gold flake-infused corn tortilla, there was also chicken adobo over steamed rice coupled with soy-vinegar dipping sauce on the side with some chopped up garlic and chilli, I had also gone to a large extent as to order the chef to prepare some Thai cuisines like Yam Pla Dook Foo which was fried catfish with green mango salad.In a way, I wanted to see her smile while her eyes widened at the different flavors all in one table. One thing that Eleanor coul

There were certain things in life that were impossible. Like waking up and finding a million dollars in your bed, like waking up and finding yourself almost as fast as The Flash. And the most impossible thing that up to now I found difficult to believe was that Niklaus Rogers liked me well technically it was loved me even though he didn't put it that way.I clung to his shoulder almost trying to make out whether this was a dream. My stomach was full but that didn't stop me from taking his hand when he asked me to dance. Everything. He went through an extra mile to do all this for me. We slow danced to the song 'In The Stars by Benson Borne' and my heart raced with excitement. Niklaus Rogers was my boyfriend now.It didn't seem possible and deep down I wanted to scream from sheer excitement. I wanted to confess that I loved him, I loved how good he smelled, I loved the way he smiled, how grumpy he could get, I loved the fact that he treated me differently, made me feel important? And l

"I hate to say it but with Daniel we managed to pull this off",Drizella commented spreading the designs on top of her desk.I hated to admit it but when I was gone, Daniel handled everything like I would have. But then again, he started all this, he stole our designs leading to us having to team up."Yeah. The designs are great but don't forget he is the one that started all this", I hinted."Are you saying that because of dad or Issa? Come on, Klaus. What he did to dad happened years ago. I think you are mad because he is Issa's fiance"No. I wasn't mad at Daniel Harman because of that. I was mad at him because I came second to my dad because of him. Daniel Harman was like the son my dad wanted to have. And when my dad discovered Daniel's betrayal in the company, I was his scape goat. Simply marry me off to Isadora Montefalco so that he wouldn't lose his precious company.And Isadora, God now that I was thinking more clearly she was the last person on my mind. The only person that li

"I don't understand, I thought that he had already had surgery",Klaus asked confused.He ran his fingers through his hair nervously as we all await the doctors to rush out of the operating room and tell us how Benny's dad was doing.Benny's mom stood with Benny in the middle of the hallway crying nervously and leaning against Benny for support.I felt sorry for them. Watching your father almost die infront of you must have been traumatizing. I never got to see my father or my mother but I'm sure Benny felt like shit at the moment.I held onto Niklaus' hands as we both sat across the couches from where Benny and his mother stood."Hey it's not your fault, Nick. You couldn't have known that would happen", I assured him."What if-he. Something bad happens to him. I'll have to deal with that. It's on me, Elle"At this point I couldn't fathom whether he was talking about Benny's dad or his father. He didn't like to talk about his father, William Rogers and I didn't want to pry further.But
