''I'm driving, wife. ''
''and I'm horny, husband; '' Tiana grinned, running her hands down his crotch, she laughed when she felt him getting hard against her hand,
Nicklaus adjusted on the seat, trying to concentrate on the road;
''Do you realize that someone died and we should be mourning? '' He asked jokingly and Tiana giggled;
''Moaning, you mean? I can do that all day. '' She teased making him laugh;
''gosh this woman; ''
Tiana grinned as she undid his belt and sipped her hand into his pants; grabbing him with her hand she stroked him slowly;
''We're going to have an accident at the rate, beautiful, wait; we can do this when we get home, okay; ''
He pleaded in a soft tone and Tiana stroked him for the last time before she let him go and zipped his pants up.
They didn't need to go out with a dozen of guards anymore, Tiana was so happy. She was not afraid to go out alone anymore.
''We'll have our wedding as soon as he is buried. ''
Nicklaus said taking her hand; just thinking about her wearing a sparkling white dress brought a smile to his lips.
''Let's not have our wedding immediately so it won't seem as though we are happy that he's dead; '' She laughed;
''Ha ha, yeah, but I still can't believe that he's dead; I thought it was going to be hard getting rid of him''
''Me too, and most importantly, I wanted him to see you; I wanted to see the shock on his face when he sees that you're alive, too bad. But it is fine; he should be roasting in the fires of hell now. '' She concluded with a laugh;
Soon they were in front of the iron gates, as it pulled open; Tiana's thoughts went back to the first time they came there;
''I remember the first night you brought me here, hell; I was so scared of you then. '' She chuckled and he smiled;
''I didn't tell you, but you were stunning that night in that red dress. ''
'"Really, so you noticed; '' Tiana's eyes widened when she heard him, that night he had pretended as though she was a walking carton, she was surprised that he even remembered the color of the dress she wore.
''I didn't even see how beautiful you were all those times, until that night, you made my heart skip. ''
Tiana laughed, she was surprised he was saying this, because he talked to her coldly and barely spared her a glance that night. Men had a way of hiding what they really feel.
''Interesting; so you mean, you started liking me that night. ''
Nicklaus chuckled; ''no, not really, but i think it was then I started noticing you. ''
He placed a soft kiss on her lips, then came down from the car. Before he could walk to her side, Tiana had already stepped down.
''So many things have happened here; '' she said as they turned to the house. It was huge but so solemn and quiet as though no-one was in.
Nicklaus sighed; ''yeah, we just hope only good things will happen from now onwards. ''
The front door opened and Grandma walked out with open arms;
''Oh dear; '' she exclaimed hugging Nicklaus tight; ''you made me worry so much, '' She cried as she felt his face with her palms, making sure he was okay.
''I'm sorry grandma, I'm so sorry; ''
Grandma hugged him tight, patting on his back;
''I'm so glad you are alive. ''
Tiana watched the duo hug for what seemed like hours. Grandma had gone through a lot, from losing her first son, to losing her husband and now her second son, she looked emaciated. She could see the joy in her eyes knowing that Nicklaus was hale and hearty.
''Come, come here; ''
Grandma called Tiana, opening her hands so she could join in the hug,
''At least I have both of you, so I'm happy. '' She smiled as she patted on their backs.
When they went inside, everyone was moody, Richard and Diana sat together, she was consoling him, it has been a while since they sat and talked together.
Tiana's eyes flashed at Richard and she felt pity for him. Even though he was a pain in the ass sometimes, he was still a human being and he just lost his father.
Her eyes swept past him to Elizabeth who was walking towards them now;
''Nicklaus, you got everyone so worried! But I'm so happy you are alive. '' she smiled and hugged him.
''Have you gone to the hospital for checkup? ''
''Yeah, I did, I'm completely fine, ''
''that's great, sit down; there's a lot to talk about. '' Elizabeth smiled as she pointed at a sofa beside them.
Grandma cleared her throat in the room, getting everyone's attention;
''We've recorded so many deaths in this our small family; '' she started and the room became oddly quiet.
''Sometimes I think, maybe if we weren't this wealthy, everyone would have been alive.'' She paused; ''I miss my sons, I miss my husband more, but we cannot change what has happened, we can only amend the future, ''
She stopped, her eyes looking at everyone;
''Please, I plead with you, can you all live in harmony? Fighting will only bring pain, and death, and I don't want to lose any other person. I'm tired of burying my children, so I plead with you, stop fighting. You have everything you need and you can buy anything money can buy, so please, don't let greed ruin you all.''
Grandma's voice shook as she spoke, she was gravely pained.
''Let this funeral be the last we'll have in a long while, I beg of you. ''
Nicklaus looked down at his hands, grandma was right, if they weren't as rich as they were, all of them would have been alive.
Catherine would not have been in the picture in the first place, and his parents would not have died, neither would Douglas have a reason to be greedy, nor want to kill anyone. The saying, money isn't everything was really underrated.
''Um, before we conclude, I have something to tell everyone; '' Elizabeth said, making everyone turn to her.
She smiled brightly and then said; ''I want to divorce my husband, Charles. ''
