Chapter 2 : (Niklaus)
It was almost nightfall. She was supposed to meet him hours ago. He ought to be practicing with Elijah . And even then , he knew it wasn't right to be out so late. Mikael would probably skewer him if he found out .
Despite everything that had happened ,he still considered Mikael to be his father, even if he sometimes despised him. He hated disobeying him. To be honest , he was actually afraid of him.
Where was she?, his patience was gradually running out. He didn't have all the time in the world. If it was someone else he would have been gone long ago...but it was Tatia.
Probably the prettiest woman he had laid his eyes on. She had an oval face, almond-shaped deep doe brown eyes and smooth, long dark brown hair cascading down her back which made her look even more desirable. He knew he was not the most handsome man there was but he had his own charm that made women go weak in their knees.
While he was pondering, a new shadow appeared before him. He turned around and gasped. What he saw took his breath away.
Tatia was standing just a few yards away from him. The moonlight made her look even more divine .She looked like an angel descended from heaven itself. He was so captivated and dumbstruck by her that he couldn't will himself to move ,until she spoke.
"I want to tell you something Nik, will u listen to me?", she asked.
Of course he would .He smiled and nodded."Before I met you..I was sad,unhappy.I wanted more from my husband, from life...from everyone. In fact, I felt very lonely to be honest. But then i met you Niklaus,and things changed. For the first time in my life i felt wanted by someone.I felt loved.I felt more alive than I've ever been before and its because you came into my life.I love you Niklaus and you can't imagine how much that means to me." He couldn't believe what he was hearing .The woman he loved more than anything was professing her love for him! It was like a dream come true! He actually believed he was dreaming till she continued again. "However even good things in life have to come to an end. Everything was so perfect until I was reminded of my duties . Of my responsibility as a wife towards my husband, as a mother towards my daughter... And now …...all I can think about us...seems a distant dream to me...a possibility that can never come true.
"I can't do this to him, Nik. Before you …..he ...was everything and he still is and i can't let that go..I can't let him go...and if I do what does that speak of me? I'm so sorry..but i can't betray the man who has given me so much ,who accepted me despite all my flaws,I cant leave my daughter Niklaus , I cant leave my Ariana ! It feels wrong I..i'm sorry but its time for me to let you go."
Klaus was tongue tied and didn't know what to do. She was the only one he loved her more than anyone else .She was the only one who truly cared about him inspite of everything ,and now she was... leaving him ...after everything that had happened.
The thought of her leaving him made him so angry he felt his blood boil with poison coursing through his veins. Her words had hurt him. He could have even put up with being mistreated by Mikael for eternity ...but Tatia leaving him...the mere thought of it was simply unbearable.
But realization soon dawned on him as he saw his love walking away from him,walking out of his life forever...
