Chapter Twenty-Seven

- Third POV -

At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, The next day, Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol are in the study. But Klaus isn't focused.

"So, I'm assuming that Gaspar Cortez has 20 hours left, if he's already dead, then, let him burst into flames." Kol said.

Rebekah looks at Klaus, who hasn't said much. "Nik?"

"I don't give a damn about Gaspar Cortez." Klaus said, sits in the armchair.

"You're thinking about her. About Christy." Rebekah said.

"Kol is right, we should let Gaspar Cortez go up in flames." Klaus said.

"Christy hasn't spoken to you since the tense argument between the two of you." Elijah said.

"Once she calms down, she'll talk to you, Nik." Kol said.

"Kol's right, Niklaus." Elijah said.

"I want something else. I want to stop disappointing my wife. I want to spend time with my wife and daughters without my past ruining everything. I can't lose them. If I do, nothing else matters to me." A dejected Klaus said.

Elijah, Rebekah and Kol exchange glum looks at each other.

Klaus has a dejected expression on his face on the verge of tears.

ROUSSEAU'S

Later that day, Gaspar Cortez sits at the bar counter, having compelled the customers, who sits at their tables.

Suddenly, Gaspar is stabbed in the back through the stomach with a wooden stake by Klaus.

Gaspar falls on the floor.

"You now, have 15 hours left before you burst into flames and return back to Marcalos Underworld Palace, but before you do, I'm gonna enjoy inflicting pain." Klaus said.

Gaspar chuckles to himself and takes out the wooden stake from his stomach.

Klaus and Gaspar exchange tense looks at each other.

"It is, I, who will enjoy inflicting pain on you, Niklaus. Not even your beloved wife, Christy, is not here to assist you." Gaspar said.

Klaus looks at Gaspar, infuriated, with him mentioning his wife.

"Oh, yes, Niklaus, I know of your marriage." Maybe, I can go after her after we're done here." Gaspar said and slowly walks up to him. "How enjoyable it would be, to bite her and feed on her blood."

Now, finally pissed off, Klaus shows his hybrid face and bites Gaspar on his neck, giving him his hybrid bite.

Klaus then, pushes Gaspar away from him and he falls on the floor.

Klaus looks at Gaspar and Gaspar looks at him.

Suddenly, Marcalos appears and slowly walks out of black smoke.

Gaspar Cortez looks up at Marcalos with fear.

"I knew you were a waste of time." Marcalos said with an aggravated expression on his face.

"Marcalos." Gaspar said.

Marcalos grabs Gaspar by his shirt and makes him burst into flames. Gaspar shouts as he burns away and vanishes.
