Chapter 325 - Two Hundred And Twenty-five: Incubus And His Siren (2/2)

Yet the man didn't explain further, instead stepped out of the car and walked around to get to the side of the car, opened it, and hoisted her up in his arms to her horror.

”Niklaus!” She screamed, hanging onto his neck, ”Put me down this instant!”

”You always swoon over a romantic gesture yet when one is executed, you begin to scream like a banshee,” He murmured while walking into the house.

Because Niklaus was distracted, he failed to notice the unfamiliar car that was packed outside. His eyes were focused on his wife and the fun they would have. So one could imagine the shock on his face when he came into his living room only to see his dear father-in-law and his ex-mother-in-law. Fuck the universe!

”Finally, the couple of the day is here,” Sakuzi announced, getting up to his feet.

”Father,” Reina hurriedly left Niklaus' side to hug her dear father while giving Nadia a subtle greeting. When she had told her father to spend the night over at her place, she hadn't meant for him to bring that woman.

Nadia had not exactly treated her badly during her stay with her father but they had not been that close due to the fact she had divorced her father which meant less communication.

Reina was hoping that the bad blood would be cleansed fully between her father and Niklaus tonight - her father was only doing this because of her. Though both men could now converse without being at loggerheads with each other, there was still some tension between the both of them.

The difference between Sakuzi and Adam was ”change”. Her father Sakuzi was willing to sacrifice his deep feeling of hatred towards Niklaus just so she could have a shot at happiness, unlike Adam who wanted to sacrifice his son for his own happiness.

”What are you doing here?” A certain person had already sensed his plans for the night had been disrupted.

”We heard you both would be leaving tomorrow for your week-long honeymoon, so Nadia and I decided to spend the night with our daughters before finally sending her off. Any problem with that?”

”I'm spending the night with her, figure out your room,” Nadia made her point known. Reina was surprised at that comment, the woman would stay with her? What a weird development.

”Fine, I'll stay with my son-in-law then,” Sakuzi made his choice.

Niklaus wanted to curse out loud. Sleep with who? He was supposed to be sharing a steamy night with his wife, not that grandpa! Can't these people leave him with his wife?!

Suddenly, it dawned on him- this was a plan. Niklaus was naturally intelligent so he was quick to figure out this was a setup by a wife to bring him and Sakuzi together. His frown subsided, he had a considerate wife.

”Alright, I'll make the sleeping arrangements,” He said and left the living room but Reina went after him.

”Niklaus, I -”

”Don't worry, I understand,” He didn't let her finish speaking knowing what she would say.

”You know I would have done the same for Adam,” She told him.

”Yeah, I know,” He breathed, ”You love putting yourself in danger which is why I wouldn't have arranged that even if he asked that,” Niklaus cupped her face,

”Reina, you might not understand when I say this but you're too precious to me. I don't care if the world hates me for your sake, all that matters to me is that you're safe and satisfied,”

Reina was struck dumb by that confession, a warm feeling filled her chest and she hugged him, ”Thank you for loving me, Niklaus,”

Niklaus rubbed her shoulder affectionately, he then said to her, ”Alright, that's enough. I need to go serve your father,” he chuckled, ”Kind of makes me feel like a child seeking approval from his.....” he trailed off

Reina was surprised when the look on Niklaus' face suddenly changed, ”What is it?” She asked.

But Niklaus ignored her, instead returned to the living room as she followed after him, eyes darting around as if searching around for something or someone? Other than surprising looks, her parents didn't say anything at his sudden appearance.

”Niklaus, what is it?” she asked, but the man ignored her and climbed back up the stairs, heading for Isabella's room.

It was empty.

”Where is Isabella?” He asked. There was a low growl beneath his voice.

”Isabella?” Reina began to think,

”The last time I saw her she was with Pedro... Uh-oh,” her eyes connected with Niklaus' furiousness. The man had figured it out too.

”I'm going to kill that boy!” Niklaus swore, set to leave when Reina grabbed his hand and turned him around to her.

”What are you...?”

She hooked her hand around his neck, pulled his face down to hers, and kissed him. All the anger dissipated instantly as Niklaus focused his attention on the siren seducing him, his hands instantly moved down to cup her ass. Reina sighed, Isabella owed her big time for this one
