New Beginning

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Forbes, 

         We cordially invite you to the grand wedding of Niklaus Mikaelson and Andrea Labonair. Chosen as the new rulers of Europe. We request you to come and welcome the rulers. A two-day ceremony, where the new king and queen shall be crowned. We hope to be graced by your presence at this union

Thank you

Mikaelsons and Labonairs 

She read the paper in disdain and tore it angrily. "Mother, why is he getting married to her? I am so much better.", Caroline's mother looked at her with a sad expression and said, "I tried dear, even voted against the union but I suppose it was fate. Let him go Caroline", she walked away. 

"Never! He will be mine.", Caroline said to herself and added cynically, "They can get married, but he will make me his lover", she said sadistically. Planning and plotting started, and Caroline's obsession with Niklaus Mikaelson had taken new heights. 

"Now try this", Rebeka said handing what felt like the hundredth dress. "Another one!", Hayley said tired of trying dresses. "Excuse me for wanting to make my best friend look amazing during her engagement.", Rebeka said peevishly. There was a knock on the door, "May I come in?", said a handsome British accent. Instantly a smirk was forming on Rebeka's face, whereas Hayley let out a sigh of relief. She had a plan in mind, "Come in", "Hayley I need to talk about something important", Klaus said seriously. "Yes, please continue. Rebeka could you give us a few minutes", she said happily. 

"I know what you are doing Hayley, but since the soon-to-be-wed should have some time alone...", she said with a suggestive expression making both of them shake their heads in dismay. "Thank you so much for saving me, she was going to drive me mad with all those dresses", she said with a sigh of relief. "Well that is one advantage of marrying you, I am sure that our room won't be buried in dresses", Klaus chuckled. Hayley just smiled and said, "I suppose so." 

They gazed into each other's eyes realizing that they were accepting this marriage. Suddenly Hayley broke from her trans and asked, "Did you want to talk about something important?" Klaus nodded and said, "I know this a loveless marriage but I hope it is ok with you if we pretend to be happily married. Our parents would also be less worried, they all are still tense about going through with it. I feel that they are scared that we would break the union in the future, I for one know that I will never break it. I know that I look like some philanderer but I fully understand the sacred bond of marriage and its sanctity. I promise you that I shall forever remain faithful to you and hope that you do the same. Also, help in the acting as a happily married couple, it will make this relationship look less forced", he finished off in one breath. 

Haley grinned and said, "I was going to suggest the same and I promise to you that I shall always remain faithful to you. However, I do need your help right now." Klaus was happy that she had agreed and raised an eyebrow, with a questioning expression reflecting. "Please stay here otherwise Rebeka will come back and pester me", she said with a pout. Klaus nodded and asked, "What will I do", "You can read the book with me", Hayley answered. Both of them proceeded to the bed and laid down comfortably with the book in Hayley's hand. 

While reading Hayley drifted off to sleep on Klaus's shoulder, while he looked at her sleeping figure and placed a kiss on her forehead. She was going to be his wife after all. Then he took the book and kept it on the bedside table and went to sleep with Hayley in his arms. Outside the sleeping couple's chambers were people running frantically making preparations for their engagement. Rebeka was going to make it the top royal affair of the season. Every single bit of it was done to perfection with the presence of simplicity, just as her best friend liked it. 

The next morning the blond bomb launched herself into Hayley's room and said, "I get it your getting married, but will you get up so that the marriage can happen. It is already ten!", hearing this Hayley shot up. "Oh on, we are going to be late. Rebeka, could you please bring Klaus and my stuff for the engagement." Rebeka glared at her but gave in to her pleading eyes.
