"She was a brunette, with big hazel eyes. I don't know if they have brought their daughter along with them, but the Klaus Mikaelson you are looking for was there" the woman spoke while sipping her drink.

"Are you sure he was the real Klaus Mikaelson, not somebody else?" the female sitting on the other side of the table asked quietly, throwing her golden locks back nonchalantly.

"I swear to God that he was the guy. He fitted your descriptions. Quite Tall, dirty blond hair, British accent" she replied quickly. The black skinned woman stood up and said "Alright, you have proved yourself useful so far. I need you to get him out of the house. How about tomorrow at 10 a.m"

"What if he kills me?"

"Make sure he won't" the dark-skinned woman dismissed the lady from the room and turned back to meet her friend's prying eyes that were following the leaving guest "do you believe her?" the white-skinned woman asked with a raised brow "I do, do you?" "I don't know. But tomorrow, our doubts will be confirmed"

Previously

Shortly, Klaus released her hands, which consequently gave Hayley the opportunity to push him back with all her strength. To get his revenge, he jumped at her and tore her tank into shreds, leaving her only on her lacy black bra. His last attack provoked Hayley's wrath and her eyes flashed yellow in consequent. They looked at each other dangerously, each one aiming to prove his dominance. She knew that moment that this fight might be the end of her because she wasn't willing to lose and he didn't seem to draw back. She set her mind on one thing; getting out of this battle of control unraped.

« You wanna fight, so be it » she said breathlessly, eyes fixed on the original hybrid.

Klaus' gold gaze flicked to her swollen lips then travelled down to her cleavage. Her brownish hair was unlikely bushy, adding more sexiness to her perfectly-shaped face. She was standing like a goddess in front of him and every fiber of Klaus' being was yearning for her touch. He didn't know if his curse was playing tricks on him or her natural beauty came to the light all of a sudden. Or perhaps he finally noticed how incredibly gorgeous the mother of his child was. After all, Hayley's charm would bring delight to any man's eyes and it wasn't something he had just figured out. Yet, in that very moment, his admiration for her was stronger than he ever used to.

Hayley found herself in a compromising situation. She considered the option of jumping from the window. But given he was thrice faster than her; she soon realized she won't make it that far. The chandelier behind her looked sharp enough to crack a human's skull but Klaus is no human. And even if she had managed to drive the bronzy lighting, by some miracle, into his heart, he wouldn't be affected. Her whole mind raced to find a way to get out of this mess in once piece.

Given that he remained unmoved by the display of violence, she told herself that maybe it was better to opt for a less savage method. She shifted her eyes to him in speculation to find him in the same position. He didn't move an inch as though he was waiting for her to make the first move.

She backed out slowly as though she walked on eggshells, eyes locked with his in a long gaze. "Defense is the best offense" proved to be a lousy method with Klaus as he was way much stronger than her. So if she wanted to win the game, she would have to play on the element of surprise in order to make her ultimate attack. And of course, this wouldn't be successfully done without a mean of distraction. And what could possibly distract a man more than seduction, she told herself. Not in a million years did she expect herself playing the turn on with Klaus, the thought itself made her scowl, which caught Klaus' attention who was giving her a suspicious look. But as the byword states; the end justifies the means, she said in her inner thoughts. So basically, Hayley's instantaneous plan was to tempt Klaus into coming closer, and as soon as he drew near, she would snap his neck right away. She optimistically congratulated herself inwardly for the master plan she came up with, excluding any possibilities of failure.

In a so unHayley fashion, she bit her lips while lowering her bra straps that fell down her shoulders unashamedly. Klaus's eyes widened with excitation when she began to lick her upper lip in most sensational way. As a response to her temptation, he started to unbutton his sweater slowly, his gaze still locked with every part of her body. The sweater fell at his feet, exposing his sinfully beautiful chest.

Now that he was shirtless again. She felt that her acting was getting more realistic which took her aback so badly. She was supposed to lure him into a trap but at one moment, she didn't know anymore who was distracting who. It appeared that his whole appearance affected her in such an inexplicable way, causing her to withdraw in confusion.

Suddenly, she was abundantly sweating, not knowing what was happening to her. All that she felt was weakness and she cursed herself for being that way. She would never forgive him for what he did to her a short time ago. Yes he didn't mean it but she would never let herself see past the fact he forced himself on her.

However, seeing him in that state, all sweaty and messy... He was an utter mess, a sexy mess. But how could sexiness be associated with messiness. Klaus was a striking example of this peculiar combination and she remembered that moment why she fell for him that night in mystic falls.

She walked slowly towards him, swaying her hips deliberately. He languished for her curves increasingly with every step she made. Yet he refrained from any movement and it made Hayley feel uncomfortable. She circled her hands around his neck and he allowed her to do so. Was he hiding something? His steadiness unnerved her. To test her limits, she pressed her whole body against his .Yet, even with such proximity, he didn't show any reaction. Though his unresponsiveness was supposed to be an advantage for her plan but Hayley wasn't that thrilled. Her lips were on his neck after, kissing him softly. Like a statue, he remained static. And like every time, she found herself unable to snap his neck and chose to delay her attack.

"What are you doing" a mannish voice rang in her ears and she pulled back abruptly. With appellation, she stared at him, not knowing what to do. She realized that his eyes retrieved their bluish shade, which explained the sudden change in his demeanor. The old Klaus was back and to her shock, she wasn't relieved. On the contrary, she frowned in displeasure, giving away a hint of disappointment.

She regained her composure and asked him with a what-the-hell look "What?"

Klaus' silence was the worst answer she could get. The confusion and shock that pooled from the original's eyes stripped her down to the bones. She felt exposed to him as he watched her with an accusative look but then she realized that she was indeed EXPOSED to him. She wrapped her hands around herself, trying her best to cover the maximum of her chest.

" I …" he muttered and she could detect embarrassment in his tone " I'm sorry"

He averted his eyes away from her while running his fingers into his messy locks nervously. Hayley felt like apologizing too. She felt guilty in some way that she couldn't fathom. It's true that he was the one who initiated everything but she chose to carry on when she could put an end to it.

"How could you do this to me" Hayley roared "Do you expect me to welcome your apology with a simple nod and forget about everything?"

"I wasn't myself and I would never do this to you. Especially you" he justified. She could tell he was sincerely sorry. Yet, she chose to give him the pissed off impression.

" I warned you, I asked you to go but as per usual, you stubbornly decided to stay despite my temper issues" He added. Hayley offered him an outraged look and walked away to her room. Klaus grabbed his sweater and followed her.

"Don't walk away, I'm not done with you" he called while buttoning up his shirt.

"What do you want Klaus? I don't want to talk about it and I don't even wanna hear anything from you!" She yelled back.

"Why are you overreacting? Weren't you kissing me so openly mere minutes ago? I'm cursed but what about you? What is your excuse Hayley?" he asked coldly.

Hayley shivered at his words, not believing her own ears. She opened the closet, searching for another top. Dressed quickly and slammed the door shut.

"See! This is the reason why everyone is turning their back to you. You always blame people for your own mistakes. And now you are suggesting that I'm the one who was assaulting you. Fine, I'm sorry Klaus. Will you please forgive me for kissing you against your will?" she spat loudly and pointed her shaking finger to him "I was about to snap your neck until you returned normal. I could have taken Hope when you asked me to leave; I could have run away as soon as I read the letter. But I didn't, because I made a promise to myself that I will stand by you ONLY because you're the father of my daughter. I should have known you're still the same selfish narcissistic bastard" Hayley stormed out of the room as soon as she finished her words. But Klaus grabbed her arm "Where are you going? I need you to make a one more promise" Hayley looked at him with a fake smile "don't worry Klaus, what happens in California, stays in California. I will never tell anyone about what you did"

"What we did" he rectified.

"You know what, I will tell them everything just to spite you" she warned him.

"And you will lose Elijah forever, is this what you want Hayley" he said, taking a further step.

"You will lose him too Klaus. Why would I make sacrifices for you? Why am I always the one who has to pay for your mistakes? I'm taking my daughter and will go back to New Orleans and you won't hold me back" She released her elbow from his grip and headed to the nursery. Klaus flashed in front of her and said "you won't" she gave him a crooked smile and whispered, sounding a little hoarse "watch me". She pushed him out of her way.

"You are free to go to the end of the universe, I don't give a damn but if you think that I will let you take my daughter to God only knows where, you are mistaken" he shouted angrily behind her.

"I said I'm going back to New Orleans. Period" Without looking back, she hissed.

"And I said that my daughter will not leave this house unless I'm dead"

Hayley ignored Klaus' screaming. She picked the sleeping Hope with one hand and grabbed her bag with the other. Klaus was standing at the door, arms crossed over his chest.

"You will stay here. This house is fenced with a powerful spell that withstands magic. I will compel myself a house in the neighborhood to keep an eye on you two" he proposed calmly, trying to reach a compromise with her.

She kept ignoring him while struggling to pick the stuffed penguin from the ground.

"I am sorry" he finished the second word with a hushed stone. Hayley glanced at him astonishingly; wondering if her ears were deceiving her or did Klaus just apologized again. She didn't saw this coming.

"You have the right to hate me for what I did, I would have felt the same way if I were in your place" he said lowly, fiddling his fingers. He was genuinely sorry and Hayley could see that from his guilty look. She pressed her lips together and was about to talk when she was shortly interrupted by a knock at the door. The small bang caused Hope to squeal, showing her four-toothed grin. Klaus and Hayley couldn't help but smile at their daughter who was trying to wriggle free from her mother's embrace. Klaus regained his serious composure and said "I will open the door, stay here".

No sooner had he left the room than Hayley collapsed on the leather couch behind her. Hope let out a funny giggle and buried her heard in her mother's chest.

The hybrid thought about the long day she had with Klaus. Was it a good idea that she went back on her decision for the second time? If only she could forget about the past few hours. She closed her eyes, hoping to escape the reality forever. And slowly her mind drifted to her baby girl who was becoming more and more like her father. She had his golden locks and his playful smile. Perhaps in one or two decades, she would grow into a brunette version of Rebekah. She had always imagined Hope as a beautiful lady full of confidence with the whole world at her feet. That's how she pictured her from the first day she learnt about her gender.

"Hayley!" Klaus' voice calling from downstairs startled Hayley awake from her daydream. She placed her daughter in the cradle again and stormed out of the room, not knowing why she was in such a hurry. She ran down the stairs but halted when she reached the last step. Her whole body went numb and her pupils dilated at the sight of the suited man in front of her.

He smiled to her and she uttered slowly "Elijah?"
