Chapter 480 - Four Hundred And Eighty: Your Daughter Kidnapped My Daughter

The third point of view:

"Here, here, over here!" Reina directed the workers who carefully brought in the four-poster canopy bed into Ailee's new room. She never thought that decorating her daughter's room could be exhausting, yet thrilling at the same time.

Since Ailee was not the barbie in a princess world type of girl - more of a tomboy actually - they had given the room an all-white backdrop with hot pink accents and fashionable purples giving it a rich and glamorous look.

However, aside from the workers bringing in the canopy bed, Allen could be seen helping around the room diligently. How had that happened? Well, his sister came up with another ploy that landed him into helping out with the room decoration. 

"Sis, don't you mind Neon coming over to help me?" Allen suggested innocently, however bad intention was boldly written all over his face. He would not suffer this alone; the boy was covered in paint as a result of helping out the workers. 

But then Ailee saw through his plan and smirked," Oh, don't worry about Neon, he's doing a good job here," Ailee was smug gesturing to Neon currently fanning her.

"Yes, I'm busy, Allen," Neon proudly refused him, while diligently fanning her royal highness, Ailee, who was seated comfortably in the corridor, observing the ongoing work in her room.

Allen gritted his teeth, his fists clenched as he wished he could tear Neon apart. What was wrong with him? Neon was supposed to be on his side for Christ's sake! Fine, her sister won in this round, he would make sure victory was his the next time.

With a growl, he picked the tin cans he was asked to dispose of and left while Ailee cackled at his misery. Revenge sure felt good.

"Where should we keep the dresser?" Reina asked Niklaus who was active as well in their daughter's room decoration.

They had chosen to decorate it themselves instead of hiring an interior designer. Moreover, he was at home today, hence it was a good opportunity to spend time with the kids. 

"I think over there should be better," He pointed at a corner of the room.

"You sure that's a good spot?" she contemplated her husband's choice.

"Yes, or we can -" his phone rang, interrupting him. Niklaus picked up in her presence - he had nothing to hide from his wife anymore (except his plans of getting her pregnant)

"Hello Eden," He answered, quite surprised at why he was calling. Did something happen?

"We have a problem," Eden said and honestly, Niklaus was not surprised by that comment any more. Their family always had problems.

"What now? Who was kidnapped and who are we killing next?" 

"It's your daughter,"

"Alright. Wait, what?!".

"And she kidnapped Anabelle,"

"What?!" Niklaus shouted a second time. That sounded outrageous, why would Isabella do that? She loves Anabelle - at least a little.

"You know what?" he told Eden, "Come over to my place. My head is kind of whirling right now," 

"Fine. I'll be there before you know it," 

"What is it?" Reina asked as soon as Niklaus pulled down his phone. 

"Eden just spouted some crazy nonsense about Isabella kidnapping Anabelle. What does that sound like?" 

"Crazy bullshit," Reina concurred, "I know Isabella and as much as she does crazy things sometimes she would never hurt her cousin..." but her mind began to run other possibilities, "Unless Anabelle hurt her real deep and right now, she's resting in the bottom of the ocean with the great sharks tearing her body with their razor-sharp scary -" 

"Alright, time out," Niklaus snapped his fingers at her face knowing that whenever Reina begins her conspiracy theories, it never ends. She could go on and on, without even taking a breath. 

However, Reina wasn't through, "No, I mean, it's kind of possible, even though it seems - Ummm," 

Niklaus silenced her by pressing her lips against hers. But then, what was intended to be a brief kiss soon deepened into a passionate one. 

Meanwhile, Ailee and Neon happened to see the whole thing and at once, Ailee lifted her hand and shield Neon's eyes saying, "Don't let Daddy corrupt you," 

But unknown to her, Neon still saw the whole thing through the little gaps in between her fingers. 

"Niklaus!" Reina beat him on the chest when she recovered from the kiss that took her by surprise. 

Niklaus shamelessly said to her, "Keep on blabbering, I like the way your lips move when you do so," He smirked upon seeing the blush creep up her face. 

"You're impossible!" Reina wanted to find a ground to burrow and hide in there. You should see the way her daughter was gawking at her. 

Meanwhile, Ailee was scowling at her parents. Why do they want to corrupt her Neon? Allen was a lost cause already; he would do greater exploits than her father - that is if you know what she means. Yep, she's heard of her father's history - the Internet is an informative place.

A few weeks ago, Allen was helping one of the popular girls at a school with her assignment; the other week, he helped the new girl to tie her shoelaces - Allen has never helped her tie her own laces for crying out loud. And then, the other day, he was helping their neighbor's daughter down the street to repair her toy - how magnanimous of him!

Ailee rubbed her temple, thinking of her brother was driving her crazy. She just hoped Neon remains as pure as he is, her brother is a bad influence. So she must do her best to keep both of them apart at all times. 

In the meantime, Niklaus went to welcome Eden who arrived in his household as quickly as he promised. 

"Okay, what's this you're saying about my daughter kidnapping your daughter?" 

So Eden began to narrate his own stripped-down version of the whole story. But then, Reina and Niklaus were smart parents who were able to get a hint of what was going on. 

"I'm sorry but I can't help you, Eden," Niklaus told him the truth. 

"What?!" Eden was shocked. 

"It's Isabella we're dealing with here. My daughter is more destructive than a nuclear bomb. If she doesn't want to be found, the best you can do is let her be else she self destructs," 

"She took my daughter!" Eden emphasized. 

"The fact your daughter Anabelle went with Isabella means she wants to be away from you as well, so don't put the whole blame on my daughter. Besides you're to be blamed too, I thought you've learned from Maya and my experience - love is not something you can take away. If the kids want to be together, just let them be. You're not the one that would marry your daughter, anyway, "
