A/N: Hello friends this is the next chapter. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED FAVED AND FOLLOWED I APPRECIATE IT A LOT.
THIS ONE'S FOR SABAH AND SHRADDHA I love you guys yoyu help me keep going.
BECAUSE OF YOU
"Hey Blondie. Come on someone posted your bail." The surly female detective named Jules called out to Caroline who rushed over and the detective let her out of the cell.
Caroline had called her father to apprise him of the situation hence when she saw her infuriating yet handsome neighbor Nik Morgan standing close to the Captain's office table she was absolutely astounded. He was standing there looking he was chatting with the captain in his usual to hell with the world attitude but his stance and disposition were daunting and it was totally turning her on. He smiled at the Captain shook his hand and exited his office. His smile underwent a radical change from formal to genuine as soon as his deep blue eyes landed on her. He walked over to her and her twirling one loose curl around his finger he said, "Hello Caroline."
She felt ensorcelled by his intense gaze. As usual his casual hello in that British accent made her insides turn to jelly but it could never top the way he enunciated her name. Whenever he said it she felt as if she belonged to him. He called her name with a tone that suggested possessiveness.
Klaus had never felt this paranoid before. To say he was worried sick about her was actually downplaying what he felt at her being in trouble. He had been fretful until he had been able to arrange for her bail. He had wanted to see her, know for himself if she was fairing well or not.
Both silent lost in their feelings for the other stilly kept staring at each other.
Soon they were interrupted by a familiar sexy voice belonging to a vivacious brunette with curly brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Oh my god Caroline are you okay?" Katherine said and rushed to hug her.
Caroline returned her hug but was still looking at her sexy neighbor. She replied,"I am fine now."
Katherine in her worry for her friend had completely overlooked of Nik Morgan who had now moved over to take the papers from the Deputy. She continued,"What's going on?"
"I'll tell you everything once we get out of here. But who told you?"
"April your assistant called me. I was so worried about you. As soon as she told me I came here. Did your father bail you out?"
"No Nik Morgan did."
"Who?"
Caroline pointed over to Nik who was now taking her affects from the Deputy.
Katherine was taken aback as she saw who she was referring to as Nik. He sauntered over with the Deputy same rude blonde who had arrested her.
Deputy Jules asked Caroline in a rough tone to accompany her since she wanted Caroline to sign a few papers.
Looking at Katherine she said,"Katherine I'll be back."
When Caroline left with the Deputy she rounded on Nik Morgan and asked," What the hell are you doing here Mr Nik Morgan aka Klaus?"
"Katerina Im quite aware of the association you share with my brother but let me enlighten you that doesn't make you my sister in law not yet any way so I'll gladly evade your bothersome inquiry."
"Caroline thinks you are Nik Morgan. You lied to her about your real name. Does she even know who you are? And what do you want with her?" Katherine asked in a hushed but stern voice feeling extremely anxious for her friend.
"I didn't figure you as someone who was slow. But since you insist I'll just say whatever this is it's my business and I don't appreciate you nosing around." Klaus answered getting miffed but his arrogant smirk didn't betray his inner ire.
"I'll nose around all I want. Caroline is my best friend Klaus and I'm going to tell her who and what you are." She replied effectively knocking off that smile of his face.
"I'd say it wouldn't be prudent on your part Katerina. I'm curious does she know who you are and what your real name is because I'm fairly positive she called you Katherine." Klaus stated calmly.
Before Katherine could utter an adequate come back. Caroline approached them. She had seen them interact from a far and from what she could gather it seemed like they were familiar with each other and their talk looked pretty intense.
Looking at both of them she said," So I'm on bail. And I can't leave the country and or the city. Also they couldn't find the bracelet at my apartment hence the Deputy told me in a really passive aggressive way just because they didn't doesn't mean that I'm innocent as they have a real tight case built against me."
"What does that mean? If they didn't find the bracelet there is no case." Ktaherine asked perturbed.
"I dont know i just want to go home. So I saw you guys talking do you know each other?"
Klaus just smirked waiting for Katherine to answer. Katherine was squirming under his haughty gaze. She smiled sweetly and replied,"No I was just asking Nik here why would he post a bail of one million dollars for just a neighbor whom he has known for just two weeks."
"Seventeen days." Both Klaus and Caroline remarked unanimously and then looked awkwardly at Katherine.
Klaus then quietened and Caroline added," Can we talk about this when I get home. I don't feel comfortable here."
"Fine. I'm waiting for you in the car." Katherine announced and after one reproving glance at Klaus she left.
Caroline then turned toward Nik who was now stoic and said,"Thank you so much Nik. I can't be grateful to you enough."
"It's my pleasure, love." He replied with a smile.
"And please don't mind my friend she is highly protective of me and with good reason."
"Of course. Like I said earlier your special your strong and full of light. It's no wonder you inspire loyalty and affection from those who associate with you."
Caroline smiled at his reply and said,"I'm sorry I should have thanked you properly. Can I come by your apartment later."
His smile reaching his eyes Klaus felt an unexpected anticipation when she expressed her desire to come by later. He felt as if he had been waiting her to say that. He moved forward tucking her hair behind her ear he said,"No need to ask love. You can come by anytime you wish."
She didn't know why she felt elated at his answer. But she was already looking forward to meet him later and was wondering why the hell had she found him irking before.
"Bye Nik. I'll see you later."
She turned around to leave but at the last moment she twisted back. Coming closer she kissed his cheek and lingered for a few seconds inhaling his musky scent which shooted straight to her womanly muscles. He was Greek god slash Hollywood sexy and his utterly selfless gesture had kicked her already falling heart farther down.
Klaus was positively stunned when she leaned forward and placed a kiss on his cheek. It was a light peck but it sure as hell packed quite a punch for it to stir his baser instincts. At first he had been too startled to do anything then he was once again appalled at his thoughts of what he wanted to do to her. She lingered and he kept thinking if her were to turn his face just an inch his lips would meet hers and he would be blessed. Then if he were to just take her against that cops desk would it fall under obscenity and would they be arrested for that. Weirdly he was further getting aroused at the fantasy of making love to her in the middle of a police station.
He understood lust but what she awoke in him was much more primal like a wolf wanting to claim his mate and making her his for all prospect of wanting her for an eternity and him being strangely enthralled at it gave him a jolt back to the reality.
He moved a step back and Caroline felt hurt once again like the last time when she realized that they were about to kiss and he shrunk away.
Giving a fake smile when at the moment she was feeling morose she murmured bye one last time and sprinted away without looking back.
Klaus felt like a total moron for putting that look in her eyes and chastised himself for that. He vowed to himself he would fix it, make her smile again. With a sigh he turned around, saw deputy Jules talking on the phone and recalled another vow he had made to himself that he would teach these assholes a lesson for life. Approaching her he said,"Deputy Jules?"
She turned around and replied,"Yes."
"I'm Nik I'm acquainted with Detective Lockwood. We were buddies in college. I heard he works at this precinct you wouldn't happen to know where he is right now."
"I do. He is in field working a case." She answered.
Klaus then smiled and said,"Thank you. It was very helpful of you."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;;;
Katherine remained astonishinly tightlipped throughout the car ride back to Caroline's apartment. But as soon as they set foot inside Caroline's apartment she vocalized all her reservations in quite a graphic detail.
"What the hell? What in the name of seven hells is going on Care? I go to Russia for two weeks... two fucking weeks and you manage to get robbed, vandalized, then get yourself arrested and what's worse is a total stranger is bailing you out of jail." Katherine ranted out thrashing her arms in the air.
"That's the worse part that I got bailed out. You think I should've stayed in jail." Caroline asked laughing a little.
"Caroline I'm serious. What do you even know about this Nik the neighbor? "
"What do you know about him Katherine?"
"I... look Care I'm just befuddled that a mere stranger would pay a bail worth a million dollars and that you would trust him."
"Kat look I didn't call him I called my father who didn't show up." Caroline replied feeling dejected that her father would leave her in lurch.
"Ah your father. Let's talk about him. I told you Care that for someone who has been MIA your entire life and suddenly decides to be a role model father figure you shouldn't trust him either."
"Kat listen.."
"Don't Kat listen me okay. I know we met two years ago considering that I haven't known you for long and your father came into your life like five years ago but when you told me your history with him I knew you couldn't trust me. And now you took a huge risk in bringing the bracelet home for your mean father and he couldn't even bail you out. And where is that bracelet by the way?"
"Katherine can we deal with one question at a time. I know you are right I haven't known Nik for long but he is the one who helped me I mean i didnt ask him to. And as for my father you are right in that regard too but we have come a long way he really loves me now. Since mom passed away and I moved here from Europe he has been there for me."
"You and i both know why he has been there for you." Katherine said using air qoutes when she repeated Caroline's statement about her father.
"Fine. Stick to your theory. And as for the bracelet I don't know where it went. It was here in my safe."
"It's not about me wanting to be right Care. I wish i wasn't right. I'm just saying you are too trusting and this Nik guy isn't who he says he is."
"Okay. What is it? What do you know about him? Tell me write now Katherine Pierce."
"I don't. I was.. "
"You are hesitating which is a sign you know him. Did you like have sex with him at one point?" Caroline asked a little testily feeling a sudden unwarranted burst of jealousy.
"Ewww. No. What even? Like major eww Care." Katherine replied mimicking nausea.
Caroline felt an odd relief and smiled to herself which was immediately picked up by Katherine who added,"What is that?"
"What?"
"That relieved slash shy smile. What is.. Oh my god don't tell me you have fallen for him."
"No. No. I have not. Are you insane? How can you fall in love with someone you've only known for like two weeks. Pfftt. Don't be ridiculous. I'm totally un... fallen. Like my head and heels are totally fine."
"I thought it was seventeen days. But hey who's counting. Also you sound your trying too hard. And for your information I fell for my fiance within a week of us meeting one another."
"Aww that's so cute. So how is Elijah by the way? Is his boutique for Mens suits running okay?" Caroline asked moving into the kitchen and taking out a soda can from the fridge she started sipping on it.
"Elijah is smoking hot as usual. But I'm not a poppyhead you know. I can see what you are doing. " Katherine followed and took one out for herself too.
"What do you want me to tell you?"
Caroline sighed after some thought sitting on the stool and downing the rest of the soda.
"I just want you to think for yourself once, Caroline. I freaking want you to not trust Nik Morgan for Christ's sakes."
"Why?"
"Because he is an absolute stranger. Just... look I don't want you to end up getting hurt. And will you please move in with me for a few days."
"I'll say the same thing I said last time I'm a big girl." She saw Katherine about to interrupt her so she hurriedly added,"And before you launch in another rant. I assure you I'll take care of myself momma. "
Katherine smiled at that and replied,"Okay but you'll tell me immediately if you notice something unusual. And then you'll have to move in with me."
"What is with you wanting me to move in? Besides i have a much bigger problem to deal with it. I have to find out where did the bracelet go." Saying that she moved over to her bedroom with Katherine in tow.
Opening the safe built in the closet she was surprisingly happy to find the bracelet still present in it.
Openmouthed she looked back at Katherine who just shrugged.
"Oh my god it's still here. How stupid can those cops be?"
"Well from the looks of it a lot." Katherine said trying to deflect the topic but she had a pretty good idea who had saved Caroline. However one thing she couldn't wrap her brain around was why would Klaus go to all that trouble for her best friend.
Sitting on Caroline's bed leaning back on her hands her wrists flat on the bed and her legs crossed. She said,"Guess this calls for celebration then. Let's go to the Pablos tonight."
Flopping down beside her Caroline said, 'You just need an excuse to drink."
"Course I do. I'll pick you up at nine. For now I have to spend some quality time with Elijah I've been missing his..."
"Ughh please don't complete that sentence?"
Caroline remarked pushing up her glasses and making a nauseous face.
Katherine flipped back her black locks and with a sassy eyebrow twist replied, "Aww it's cute when you act all shy Nancy but I was gonna say his vibrant personality."
"Yeah sure and that's a creepy name for his manpen."
Katherine barked out a husky laugh and said, "Trust a nerd to come up with the weirdest names for a guy's business."
And Caroline smiled at that, feeling lighthearted and happy after the agonizing hours she spent locked up in a cell.

"Hello Niki boy how are your friends at the precinct doing?" Kol asked as Klaus walked in the Mansions living room and headed straight for the bar.
His arrival also alerted their younger sister Rebekah, she got up from the sofa she was lounging on and started hollering, "About time you showed your face in here, Nik. And how massive a dunderhead can you possibly be? Kol told me you went to a police station to bail someone out. Have you completely lost all reason? What if the cops had recognized who you were?"
"Spare me the drama Rebekah. Unless those arseheads are either CIA or Interpol I doubt they would have recognized me. In fact if I had myself declared that I was the Wolf those fools wouldn't even have known who I was referring to."
Rebekah rolled her eyes at his reply and Kol butted in.
"Fine. But please enlighten our little sister about the woman whom you went in there to save weilding a shield of valour brave knight."
"If you don't stop calling me idiotic names I'm going to behead you Kol." Klaus replied obviously displeased at Kol knowing the details and then downed a glass of whiskey.
Rebekah looked ready to ask but Klaus interjected, "Enough."
But Kol seemed unphased and continued,"Also I'm curious why would you use the "Chameleon" to cloak the bracelet Caroline Forbes was in posessesion of." Referring to the electronic box shaped gadget he had placed in her closet to camouflage the safe. It was a quiet a nifty device it completely cloaked the safe giving an appearance of more clothes placed where the safe was built. The Chameleon could actually show you any image you wanted to see and with the recent upgrade you could even feel it. Hence why the cops had only found clothes in Caroline's apartment and the safe was nowhere to be seen. As soon as the cops had left he had stealthily broken into her apartment and retrieved the Chameleon.
"Shut your hole Kol." Klaus spat out moving closer to Kol who reclining on the couch.
"What? Nik are you insane coverting with our enemies. Forbes? You saved his daughter whom you are supposed to kill?"
"Before you two irk me further and waste my precious seconds with your nonsensical chatter I'll have you know. It was essential to my plan that I bail her out and as for me hiding the bracelet I couldn't very well let the bracelet be found by the cops as it would have sabotaged my ticket to becoming the next King in our world."
"I beg to differ dear brother. I'd say your developing pathetic notions of "nesting" was it, with your blonde target."
"Didnt I just ask you to shut up."
"No need to get testy Nik. This only proves what Kol is insinuating may have some truth to it." Rebekah remarked eyeing her brother suspiciously.
"I didn't ask you two here to analyze my method. I asked you here because I have an assignment for you both. Oh and I forgot to mention Rebekah. Katerina is back from Russia. "
"What? When?"
"I saw her at the precinct come to rescue her best friend Caroline." Klaus smirked knowing full well that he had successfully distracted Rebekah.
"Oh God. I 've been waiting for her to come back. Time for pay back from that bitch." Rebekah answered with a wicked smile and began typing rapidly on her cell phone.
"What makes you think I'd like to be your errand boy? Besides you were really ungrateful the last time i aided you." Kol asked from his position on the couch.
"You do this and I'll make you a member of Suzerain once I'm the Sovereign."
"Oooh interesting. Count me in. But question." Kol said raising his hand and asked," If it's that important why don't you do it yourself? "
"Because I have to be somewhere tonight." Klaus replied.
Rebekah finally looked up from her mobile and replied, "I don't want to be a part of the Suzerain but I'll collect later. I'm in."
"Where do you have to go big brother?" Kol asked raising his eyebrows taunting Klaus.
"You should concentrate on your assignment." Then taking a picture out of his jacket pocket he flinched it on the living room table and said,"That's detective Lockwood bring him to my lair alive. I'm asking you two because I need utmost discretion and as much well trained and loyal my men are I can't trust anyone outside family right now."
"You admitting you trust us that's a miracle. I feel so blessed." Kol said and with agility got off the couch. Pouring himself a drink he continued,"I'm in but I don't just want to be a Suzerain member. You'll have to give me access to your island for a month I have a surprise trip planned for my Bon Bon."
"Disgustingly pathetic but fine you can have my island for a month. And mind me you'll have to deliver first."
"Didn't you two break up a month ago?" Rebekah asked Kol.
"We have been an on again and off again kind of thing but I'm going intending to fix that seeing as I wish her to be mine forever." Kol answered her.
"Aww I don't care. I'm out of here I have to go shopping." With that Rebekah left.
Klaus was unexpectedly silent during this whole conversation as his mind was occupied by the thoughts of a captivating blonde nerd. He had heard her conversation with Katerina via the bug he had planted in her apartment. When Katerina had inferred that Caroline was falling for him it had given his heart an exciting jolt spreading a pleasant sensation of joy coursed through him. Knowing she might have feelings for him strangely made him feel celebratory. She had said she wanted to come by his apartment later. He was currently disconcerted as to how he should handle their meet.
Whether if he should plan an elaborate lunch or just casually offer her a drink. Klaus scolded himself since when did he act like a nervous little boy where a woman was concerned and the answer to that question was since he had met the incredibly kind hearted and sexy Caroline Forbes.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Klaus rushed to open the door to his apartment as he heard a resounding knock. He had been waiting for her for more than a couple of hours. True she hadnt exactly mentioned when she will come by but still he had been looking forward to her arrival. With pleasure resonating inside him he opened and was stunned to see the vision standing in front of him.
She was wearing a black knee length dress which had a side zip and fitted her like a glove. It had a unique pattern of lace on it with full net sleeves. Because of the heels she was wearing she stood toe to toe with him just the right height for him to lean a little and kiss those pink lips which were currently painted a siren red. She had let her hair loose which were curled cascading down her shoulders and probably had contacts on as she wasn't wearing her nerd glasses.
She gave a cautious smile and said,"Hi."
Klaus swallowed toning down his intense desirous reaction. He moved back gesturing for her to come in and replied,"Hello, love."
Caroline walked inside and he shut the door. He moved into his living room and she followed his lead.
"What would you like to have? Beer, scotch, soda?" Klaus asked.
"Umm. No thanks. I'm not staying for long." She said moving to stand beside the sofa in his living room.
At her words he felt dejected. He noticed her guarded movements and body language. He was aware that his earlier indifference had led her to act cautious around him.
He now felt a mixture of panic and disappointment and he didn't relish it one bit. Hence he intended to remedy it.
She opened the clutch purse she had in her hand and took out a small piece of paper. Extending it towards him she said,"I'm so grateful to you for what you did for me. But I can not take your money. This check is worth 50, 000 dollars. I'll give you rest of the money back in a few days. Thank you again."
He felt a burst of raging anger when he heard she was acting like he had done a bloody favor for her. He wanted to take her check and shove it down her pretty throat. God her pride was making him irate. He didn't need her freaking money. He had been all excited like a pathetic imbecile eager to meet her and she was suddenly acting like she didn't even know him.
Clenching his teeth and menacingly approaching her he said,"I don't need your fucking money Caroline."
When Klaus continued to refuse to take the check from her she reached sideways and put it on the table.
"Well you are getting it any way because I can not possibly take a large sum of money from some one i barely know." Caroline replied in an equally agitated tone. She had decided after considerable thought last night she was going to act indifferent as far as Nik Morgan was concerned. Twice he had backed away from her. Besides Katherine was right she may be falling for him and if he was going to act hot and cold than she should maintain her distance from before she actually fell in love and there was no way out.
Therefore she had written a check of 50, 000 dollars which was actually worth all her recent savings and had shown up here.
"So you bought the bull shit your best friend was trying to sell you?" Klaus spat out moving closer and got hot and bothered upon inhaling her sweet scent.
"What's that supposed to mean?"Caroline asked taking a step closer to him in ire.
"It means I heard your friend Katherine questioning something along the lines of why I was I helping you. Me someone who is practically a stranger." Klaus said getting angrier and closer. Damn her rapturous beauty despite his foul mood all he wanted was to grab her and kiss her until they both were out of breath.
"She's not wrong you know. Why did you?" She crossed her arms and he breasts rose higher with that movement.
"I could say because a gorgeous soul once told me if we stop doing random acts of kindness than the world would become a very dark place to live. But this was not random Caroline it was all for you. I know those cops made a mistake when they arrested you and also I couldn't rest easy until I knew you were okay."Klaus said with an uncharacteristic tenderness surprising both of them and then continued with wrath punctuating each word , "And I don't fucking need your money ."
Caroline was deeply touched. The genuine emotion and sincerity in his eyes and voice affected her immensely. He was standing so close now that she just had to move an inch and she would be in his arms.
Lightly caressing his jaw with hesitant fingers she muttered,"But you don't even know if I'm guilty or not."
"I know you are not. Someone so beautiful inside and out could never be at fault." Klaus voiced his thoughts enraptured by her.
"You're making me out to be a saint which I'm not."
"Good. Then you wouldn't mind what I'm about to do next."
Her questioning what was smothered by his lips as he swooped in and het clutch soundlessly fell out of her hands. He touched her lips with his lightly at first then staring into her eyes he urgently pulled her into his arms. Caroline reeled with the initial shock of the sensuous heat of his lips. He kissed her like he wanted to own her. Then in an agitated urgent moved he yanked her into his strong arms. Sucking on her top lip he ran his hands over her body. She responded with an ardor matching his and fisted one hand in his hair and the wound the other around his neck. He delved his tongue into her mouth and she moaned. His tongue found hers and his hand found her velvety soft breasts. He squeezed her breasts and could feel her nipples hardening beneath her dress causing her to pull him closer to intensify their pleasure. Klaus kept on kissing and caressing her breasts feeding the fire of desire which flamed higher everytime she was in sight. Never before had he felt such a consuming hunger and longing for a woman . The more he took the more thirsty and quenched he felt simultaneously.
The feel of his hands and mouth were driving her wild. She felt heat pooling between her legs when his hand trailed upwards from her knee to her thigh under her dress and cupped her over her panties.
In a swift motion he hoisted her up and had her up against the wall while he was still kissing her. To maintain her balance she hooked her legs around his waist and breathed his name calling him Nik and he murmured "So beautiful".
Forgetting the world around them they surrendered to the saccharine passion they had for each other.
She slid off his jacket and he unzipped her dress and her sleeves fell off her shoulders. He kissed her bare shoulders reverently. Then he traced wet kisses in the valley between her breasts and Caroline felt like her whole body had been electrified.
He glanced down and saw her perfect breasts encased in a red lacy push up bra. He ran his thumbs torturously over her nipples creating a sweet friction and in response she bit his ear lobe. Just when he sneaked his other hand under her dress to find the real treasure Carolines phone rang.
Instantly reality came crashing back and she let out a breathy stop.
He slowly moved away and she uncoiled herself from him and stood on shaky legs. Both stared at each other out of breath for what felt like an eternity.
Klaus saw her zip up her dress with great regret. She had pulled away and it had taken all of his mighty will power to step away from her when all he wanted was to keep kissing, licking, nipping and biting every part of her tantalizing body until they were finally one.
Quietly she moved over to pick up her clutch and then without glancing his way she left.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"You're suspiciously late." Katherine remarked when Caronline slid into the chair in front of Katherine at a table at a local pub called Pablos.
Trying to sound casual Caroline gave out a little chuckle and asked,"What's that?"
"That's when someone who is anal enough to colour code her cats collar and is always on time comes late. Plus you told me to meet you here instead of what we had planned earlier. Plus your hair are tousled which they never are." And leaning over the table closer to Caroline for a minute she added,"Your lipstick's smudged a little."
Caroline laughed and replied,"You said plus twice and my lipsticks smugded because I had a sandwich on my way over."
"You are lying." Katherine remarked and stared hard at her.
Caroline cowered under her probing gaze and sighed,"Fine I kissed Nik."
Katherine yelled, "What? Caroline."
"Look I just went over to return his money and I don't know how it happened."
"What do you mean how it happened? I'll tell you how it happens you touch your lips to someone else's and then put your tongue so deep down in their mouth until you can squish their tonsils."
"Ew tonsils, is that how you and Elijah do it?" Caroline asked.
"Why do you wanna watch and learn?" Katherine asked in reply.
"You're disgusting."
"And you're a moron. Nik? Nik? Seriously. Caroline you don't even get it. You are playing a dangerous game here."
"Katherine just stop okay. I can handle myself and my relationships."
"Oh so now it's a relationship. And yeah sure you can handle it like you can handle your father and the fact that you totally handled that two faced bastard Tyler."
"My dad called me but i didnt answer because this time around i need to confront him. And please don't talk about Tyler." Caroline replied and downed the drink which the waiter had just placed at their table a minute ago.
"Okay I won't. But you need to teach Tyler a lesson. Better yet we can do it together." Katherine suggested.
"No. I don't want to deal with him just now."
"Hmm. But please tell me you'll be careful regarding Nik. This is not like you to kiss a guy you are hardly familiar with."
"I know that's why I stopped and just left him without a word. I was so confused. At first it was just a kiss but then it felt so good to kiss him that I almost went all the way but thankfully I was saved by your bell." Caroline said feeling the rush of happy emotions coming back. Contrary to what Katherine thought she was well cognizant of the fact that she could tackle her problems with enough tactfulness. But to relieve Kat's fears she added,"But I promise I'll tell you as soon as I find something fishy."
"Good. And don't forgive your father just yet."
"I'll work that out too. Don't worry." Caroline replied with a confident smile.
:::::;;::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A slim tall and alluring woman entered a plush gigantic room which looked like an office slash study. The high ceiling, bold colours and the semi-naked art hanging from the walls should have given it a sleazy appearance rather the office looked stately.
She coughed and the man who looked to be in his early fifties with greying hair in his side burns sitting in his office chair turned around to face her. Even in his fifties he was a rather striking guy with well maintained body. His brown eyes, filled with years of experience lending him an air of shrewdness and chicanery, were the same colour as his hair.
He asked in an authoritative tone,"Yes Nadia how can I help?"
"Sire. Bill Forbes has requested an urgent meeting with you. He says he has a worthwhile proposition to offer to the Sovereign." She remarked.
He rapped his fingers on his desk then linking the fingers of both hands he said,"Send him in."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Tyler Lockwood was going home after a grueling day in field. His job as an officer to the law was really taxing and hectic. But that's not the only thing what had him preoccupied. He was still thinking about Caroline and what he had done to her. Technically it wasn't his fault. He didn't know until the last minute that they were going to arrest her. Everyone at the precinct knew except him by the orders of Jules.
Although it would have been unprofessional but he could have at least warned her and she would still be talking to him.
He was walking to his apartment as he didn't live far from the precinct. He reached his building and was about to climb his steps when he saw a guy in all black walked to a woman getting out of her car. The man approached her snatched her purse and raced away. The woman started yelling for help.
Tyler's protective instincts kicked in and he ran after the mugger. He chased the mugger into a dark alley and had him cornered him.
Before Tyler could read him his Miranda rights he felt the muzzle of gun behind his head. Then the person behind him hit him forcefully and he fell to the ground facing his assailant.
It was the same woman who was being mugged. She then aimed her gun towards his face and with a sausy smile and British accent said," You policemen are gigantic dullards with your hero complexes. Say hi to oblivion." Then the mugger forcefully slapped the grip of his gun on Tylers head from behind and knocked him out cold.
