Episode 8

Niklaus's POV

Walked out of the car, and I was welcomed by leaves caught in the wind and a cold breeze replacing the warmth in my body. Still can't believe my father convinced me to come back here. Almost twenty years since we left this place. And yet I found myself back in the one place I tried to run away from.

It reminds me of her.

After everything that happened, I decided to make England my home. I buried myself in the family business to help my father and made my little princess my top priority.

Working became my new hobby more like an addiction, one could call me workaholic if they dared to. I had no time or intereste in relationships, women were all the same, they all had the same smitten gaze towards me that I found repelling. That might be one of the reasons why I was never go out with the same woman twice and earned the nickname "Cold prince " it pretty much suits me.

" Nik what if she doesn't like me?" Nora asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

" There is no one on earth who wouldn't be charmed by you Nora " I assured my little princess.

"Let's go meet Grandmother, okay?" I took her hand and we walked in.

Nora was born in England, since this is her first time here she never met Nana. I bet she always craved for these two to meet.

" Oh!! You are finally here, come give me a hug " Nana asked Nora when we walked in.

" Hello, grandma " Nora giggled excitedly as she was embraced by Nana. Then Nana perked up and gasped.

" Oh good Lord, is that you Nik " I approached her, embracing her slim figure.

She looks much older now, much shorter than when I last saw her. Her once black hair is now blended with gray hair, and she still has a polished creamy complexion, her eyes always full of sympathy just like I remembered. We moved to the living room and sat in our seats catching up on each other's life.

Her house was just the way I remembered but an old version of it, it still smelled like food. I smiled at the thought of always being fed until I couldn't even eat a grain of rice.

" I missed you, Nana. Sorry for not visiting " I confessed taking her hand, caressing it.

" You are the only one who calls me that" she giggled " you guys are here now, I still can't believe my little boy is a man now"

" And this little piece of heaven" she said caressing Nora's cheek. " I have been wanting to meet you" she said earning a gasp from me.

" She is far from being a piece of heaven " I teased.

" Your father told me that you are working at the company? And about your reputation with the ladies as well "

" After college, he literally forced me into the business world, I didn't have much choice, and about the ladies, I have nothing to say" I grumbled

" He wants what is best for you" she replied standing up " let me make something for you guys to eat "

" Grandma, I need to use the lady's room Nora said crossing her little legs.

" Let me take you upstairs " They both went up and I'm was left alone.

I glimpsed at my surroundings and every detailed furniture in this house brought back memories. I checked my phone and I had a lot of emails to respond. I hope Charles knows what he is doing by dragging me here when the company back home needs my dam attention.

I was so detained in my phone that I didn't realize It started raining.

I leaned on the doorframe that leads to the kitchen, listening to the sound of the rain and looked up at the opening door. My expression suddenly changed to one of delighted amazement something that rarely happens to me.

Light footsteps and the clinking of spurs were heard at the door, a woman in black jeans, and a white shirt entered the room.

She has a rich shade of black hair that flowed in fading wet curls adorning her creamy peach skin, her wet cloths molding her curvy figure perfectly fine defining her royal body. She was standing with her back facing me and yet there was a great sense of high voltage about her.

" Granny, can you help me with a towel I'm literally soaked over here " she screamed.

For my amusement she threw her bag on the floor, took her shirt off, leaving her only in a black bra, a smirk made it's way to my face.

Someone should probably inform her that I'm here.

" Hello, my name is Nora, what is your name? " Nora introduced herself. The woman froze in place, seemed to be processing Nora's presence.

" Jane " she whispered.

" Hi, Jane. She is cute, isn't she Nik?" Nora asked looking at me.

Jane turned around and her cheeks turned rosy red instantly. She had a few threads of hair hugging her cheeks.

My subconscious wouldn't allow fixating my eyes on anything else but her. She carries an emerald green like eyes that seems melancholic. I swear that I lost myself in them for a moment. She slightly parted those plump lips with water droplets swinging on.

For the first time I saw real eyes, she was different. Different from those eyes, this eyes carried warmth, truth, soreness. The lovestruck looks I had to endure didn't exist in her innocent look, It was unusual.

She picked up her shirt and covered her chest. I explored her face for the last time and walk past her taking off upstairs, ignoring Nora's question.

" Nana, someone called Jane is downstairs, she needs a towel. Can you give me an umbrella? I need to go out " I informed and asked entering the guest room.

" pumpkin is here? I have one by the entrance downstairs, let's go I will show you " she stood up, went to another room and grabbed a towel then departed downstairs and I followed behind.

I stood there as Nana wrapped the towel around the embarrassed woman, never making eye contact. I guess she should be embarrassed after she almost stripped-down her cloth in front of me.

The thoughts of her taking her shirt made a mischievous smirk play across my lips, but who would fucking take their cloth off as soon as they get into a house without checking.

Without looking, Nana told me where I would find the umbrella while pointing behind the door.

I was actually enjoying seeing how she was uncomfortable with me here, without having to look I knew she was blushing and every time I looked at her she dropped her eyes.

Getting the umbrella I let Nana know I was going out." Nana, I won't take long, and please don't give her sweets while I'm gone, she gets hyperactive " I informed Nana while pointing at the giggling Nora and walked out the door.

When I got into the car I couldn't help but laugh at what just happened.

" What a strange woman " her blushing image crossed my mind and I scoffed.

" It was not a big deal though, is not like I saw her naked "

" This trip just took an interesting turn "
