Chapter 515 - Five Hundred And Fifteen: Family Is One (1/2)

The third point of view:

The look in Niklaus' eye reminded Julie of a lion fiercely protecting his cub. Just a wrong move and he could be ripped into pieces.

”I-I just wanted to see Anabelle,” Julie found himself stammering. He could not help that he was scared of Niklaus right now.

”You were sneaking into the girl's room when you bumped into Neon, isn't it?” Niklaus surmised.

His cheeks heated up in shame.

”Really? Amid my warning?” Niklaus raised a dark blow. That was blatantly disobeying his order.

”I just wanted to see my girlfriend, what's so bad about it?” Julie claimed.

”Really?” A smile that didn't touch Niklaus' eyes appeared on his face, ”Well, what's so wrong about it, is that you're staying under my roof at the moment and as long as you're in my house, young man, you are under my rule. So when I say no meeting the girls at one in the morning, my word becomes the law,” Niklaus gestured to his security guard who came up beside Julie.

”Take him to a different room and this time, make sure he doesn't sneak out,” There was a hidden message beneath those words only his men understood.

”Uncle,” Anabelle came and stood between Julie and the guards with her arms stretched defensively, ”You've gone far this time!” She glared at him.

Niklaus asked her, ”Do you wish to join him?”

Upon hearing that, Anabelle's eyes widened as if her uncle just did the best thing for her. However, the instant she was about to say a happy ”Yes”, Niklaus flopped her plan by adding,

”In a different room. Alone.”

Her face fell at once. Her uncle was a monster.

Anabelle turned to Julie, ”Don't worry, we'd fight through this. Our love would never die no matter how much they try to tear us apart,”

”Of course, my love. I'll dream of you even though I'll be tormented without you in my arms tonight,” Julie replied, caressing her face.

”Oh please, take that idiot away,” Niklaus was tired of their drama, ”Go to your room,” He commanded Anabelle who huffed and strode away.

He turned to Isabella, ”Come down, we have an emergency family meeting,”

”Seriously? It's almost two in the morning,” Isabella reminded him.

”The more you talk, the more time flies,” Niklaus replied to her and took his leave.

”Really? You're not going to talk this time?” Isabella faced her mother, Reina.

Reina shrugged, ”I'm not the head of the family, he is. His decision is final,” She intentionally laid back.

There comes a time in a family when the father needs to do his work as an enforcer and right now was that time. She had pampered the kids too much it seems, and now, they've taken too much liberty with her. It was time for daddy to straighten them out.

A somber mood surrounded everyone in the living room. Neon had his head bowed while fidgeting with his fingers unwilling to look anyone in the face. All of this wouldn't have happened if he hadn't gotten caught. However, Allen's words hurt him more. He thought he was family.

Allen had an impassive expression, looking at no one in particular. He knew he was wrong by saying those words to Neon but he won't let anyone see through his regret.

Ailee was filled with guilt, she couldn't help but feel that she was responsible for all of this. Perhaps what Allen said was true? She had distanced herself from him and partially caused all of this.
