Reina's point of view:

He shouldn't have been named "Niklaus", "The beast," should have been much better. Niklaus didn't let me sleep a wink last night. We went at it like rabbits with little breaks in between and finally, he let me sleep by five in the morning.

I was angrier at myself. I should refuse him. I should say a firm no when he wants more, but then, the moment our lips touch, it's as if my brain just malfunctions and nothing else matters.

I guess he wasn't the only greedy one because I keep on desiring more until we die away on the waves of passion. And damn it, the man had to be so good in bed. I guess his years of frolicking with the other XX chromosome was a pretty good experience - lucky me.

"Ugh," I groaned when I felt a hot breath on my neck. I didn't need to open my eyes to know who's that since he's the only person in this room, moreover, my neck was his favorite spot.

"Goodmorning," Niklaus murmured into my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"Don't you ever get tired?" I yawned. I was so damn tired; my hips was sore.

"No," He answered unabashedly, trailing kisses from my neck to my shoulder.

Crazy man! If I don't get pregnant from our wild session last night, I'll have to double-check the effectiveness of his spooge.

I nudged him off my shoulder, "You need to see a doctor, your appetite is unhealthy," and turned the other way.

But then, you should already know that Niklaus was a tough parasite that refused to die, well in my situation, go away.

He still chased after me and this time chuckled into my ear," Or perhaps, you're the one with weak stamina. Shouldn't you let me train your endurance," that statement was ambiguous.

I glanced up at Niklaus with a deep scowl to meet his grinning ones and said just three words, "Let me sleep," and before he could say anything, pulled up the sheet over my head.

If it wasn't for the playful smirk on his face, I would have mistaken Niklaus' disturbances as a plan to sabotage my leaving tonight. Else why would he be so persistent in tiring me out?

I was so damn tired to the point I was tempted to just forget about this mission. But then, an image of Angela flashed in my head and my resolve was renewed. It wasn't just for Angela, I was fighting for the pride of the Sakuzi clan and the safety of my children. With Miguel out there, none of them were.

Just as I suspected, Niklaus wasn't against my plans because he let me sleep after I threw that tantrum. So I finally rested my sore body for about six or seven hours, I couldn't tell. However, it was afternoon by the time I woke up, which meant I had less than four hours before the big event began.

The night was the best cover for the attack. That way the police wouldn't react quickly - although we had that one settled - with a lesser rate of casualty loss - most people would be at their homes by then.

Also, Criminals operated in the night which meant that Miguel and his men would be at their den when we attack. And according to our Intel, his men would be present today since they were having a special meeting.

I would first go to the base, alongside the others and there we would go over the plans and make other necessary adjustments before leaving. We pray the raid goes successfully as planned.

When I got up, Niklaus wasn't around. So I used that opportunity to wash up and get every necessary thing prepared for my leave. There was no room for mistakes. A single mistake could cost a life - mine or another. So I had to get my head in the game, no room for distractions.

However, distraction came faster than I thought: Niklaus came into the room. He had a tray in hand and trust me, I knew he cooked the food from the tantalizing aroma. He's gotten so good at cooking you could term him a professional while my cooking skill is nothing to write home about - another reason he doesn't let him into the kitchen.

"Lunch in bed," He announced, setting the food on my bed.

I took a deep sniff, savoring the aroma in the air, "Smells good, I don't regret marrying you,"

The both of us burst into laughter instantaneously because we knew the reason I said so was that I couldn't cook and most times, it was always the female doing the cooking. What was that saying again? The way to a man's heart was through his stomach - yeah, that sort of thing.

"Just eat your food," Niklaus said, and just when I thought he was about to hand the spoon to me, he took it and scooped the food, bringing it to my mouth.

My brow raised at that gesture.

He answered me, "You have less than two hours left to leave, let's make use of that,"

"Oh," I was quite startled by his comment. I didn't know he was counting down to the moment he left. A trace of sadness flashed in my gaze but I pushed it away. I wasn't going away forever, it was just this night and I'm back in his arms again.

As if nothing was wrong, Niklaus made conversation and jokes throughout the meal until I was done. After that, we decided to watch some movies. Like I said, dilly dally until the time was right.

That was what we did and thankfully there was no sex, although a little making out since he couldn't keep his hands to himself. But then, time flies while having fun. It was finally time to leave.

Although the kids didn't know of my mission, I had to bid them goodbye; hugging each and everyone dearly. The sight of them tempted me once more to give up on the mission, however, this was for their good.

Done with them, I returned to Niklaus - the hard part. His expression was unreadable but I could sense the war waging inside of him. So I simply hug him, saying, "I'll be back,"

His hand went to my waist and he hugged me back. But then things heated the instant our eyes met and the next I knew, we were kissing each other. I kissed Niklaus as if tomorrow didn't exist, because truly I didn't know if there would be a tomorrow for us - I could die.

However, I was so immersed in the kiss that I didn't see Niklaus lift a needle to my neck and it was only when the piercing pain went through me that I realized what was going on. I struggled, my nails digging into his shoulders on purpose to cause him pain, however, Niklaus didn't let me go. He was determined.

"What are you doing?" my eyes were as wide as saucers.

"I'm sorry but I'm the one supposed to protect you," Niklaus said, a hint of apology in his gaze.

My eyes watered, "But you promised!"

"I know, but no promise is worth your life,"

Done, Niklaus took out the shot as his mouth covered mine hungrily and that was the last memory I had of him before I lost consciousness.
