Chapter 442 - Four Hundred And Fourty-two: Shot His Wife

The third point of view:

Niklaus' blood ran cold when that bastard answered his wife's phone. He had hoped, no, prayed that somehow his wife and children had found the panic room by chance and called him from there. The panic room was sturdy and he had reinforced the doors such that no amount of bullet could bring it down. Plus the fact that once it was closed, only the people from the inside could open it - it was a haven from danger.

But then, the fact that this bastard called him using his wife's phone meant that his wife had been surrounded. Niklaus knew Reina, as stubborn as an ass, she would only give up unless the situation was out of hand. How bad was the situation at home? Were the kids affected as well? Gosh, he wouldn't ever forgive himself if even the hairs on their head get missing.

"Miguel?" Niklaus effortlessly guessed it was him. Only the bastard was reckless enough to touch his family.

"The one and only," He chuckled into the phone which made Niklaus' stomach churn, "How do you like my plan?"

Yeah, Niklaus liked it so much he wouldn't mind punching the daylight out of the son of a bastard. He suddenly wished he had superpowers, so he could reach Miguel instantly and show him who he messed with.

"You're going to wish you were never born once I get my hands on you," He promised him - Miguel was just lucky he was far away. Niklaus could already imagine him lying dead in his pool of blood, but so was his wife, Reina. He was scared for her, although he tried not to show it in his tone.

"Quite funny, but I think you're the one at my mercy since I have your lovely wife by my side," Miguel claimed, then said to someone, "Come on, say hello to your beast of a husband,"

Beast? That was his contact name as saved by Reina. Niklaus felt his heart jump into his throat at the anticipation of speaking with Reina. Thank God she was still alive - she's alright, right?

Waiting patiently, Niklaus began a countdown to the seconds she picks up the phone and at the sound of her labored breathing, his throat constricted and he was about to ask how she was doing when he heard,

"Don't come here, Niklaus! It's not your fault! I don't blame -!" And then she was caught short abruptly.

Niklaus heard a scuffle and unmistakably, the sound of a kick. His blood ran cold, there was no way that was Reina being kicked, right? However, he knew the answer deep down in his soul even before Reina cried out in pain.

"What did you do to her?!" Niklaus couldn't control himself anymore as he screamed into the phone, "Did you hit her you asshole!" he was so angry, that it wouldn't be surprising anymore if molten lava was flowing through his veins instead of blood.

"What do you think?" Miguel chuckled mockingly, "This is just the beginning," He was taunting him.

Miguel was forcing his hand and he sure as hell was going to show him why the Spencer family was feared. He - Niklaus - might be good but he had Adam's blood flowing through his veins and his father was the epitome of cruelty. Beneath his beautiful, lurid character, was a monster waiting to be let loose and he would do just so for Miguel. It was a promise. Once he gets his hand on him.

Another scream of agony from Reina told him the son of a bastard was still torturing her.

"Stop it! I said stop it!" he bellowed into the phone yet the bastard wasn't close to ending it. Sakuzi and the others watched him with a concerned look yet none attempted to snatch the phone from him.

"So tell me, how does it feel to lose a loved one?" Miguel taunted him as he kept on doing whatever he was doing to Reina that was hurting her.

May God help him if he finds as much as a scar on her body. His death would be gruesome more than the tortures he gave her.

But then, something happened and all Niklaus knew was that he heard Isabella's voice and the line went dead.

"Hello? Hello?!" He yelled into the phone but got no response, "Shit! Fuck it!" he cursed as he tried the line once more.

"What is it? What's going on?" Sakuzi was the first to demand an answer. Niklaus knew the man was worried - even though he hid his emotions well - for his daughter just as he was.

"Doesn't look good," Niklaus shook his head just as he placed a call to Judy who picked up at the first ring.

"Niklaus,"

"How is it going, any progress?"

"Yes. It was tough but the technicians were smart enough to discover the bomb was less susceptible to gunfire. Hence, they shot at the package with a special ammunition that smacked the bomb in such a way that it broke apart without going off. So you don't have to worry, we're making our move right now," Judy assured him and from his labored breathing, Niklaus could sense he was on the move.

"I need you to do something for me," Niklaus requested.

"What is it?"

"No matter what, keep him alive by all means possible,"

Even without a name, Judy didn't need to be told who he was referring to Miguel. He sighed, at this point, Miguel better wish for death. One doesn't have to kill to be a monster, people bring out the monster in them. Underneath Niklaus' warm exterior, was a cold, ruthless, killer. In his hands, Miguel would be so tormented his soul might not even move to the afterlife - Niklaus would burn even his soul.

Suddenly a gunshot went off

"What was that? Tell me that was your men. " Niklaus had heard it from the other line.

"No, that's not them. We just barely entered and haven't even gotten into the living room where they're being... Oh boy," Judy froze, " I'll call you back when we're done," He ended the call immediately.

Niklaus' blood chilled, that couldn't have been Reina, right? Somebody should tell him that bastard did not just shoot his wife.

"I need to leave now! ",
