Joke's On You

Chapter 31

Klara's POV

It hurt, every single movement hurt.

Klara could hear Frost calling some business partner Mr J should probably meet in a few days whilst she was dressing herself in the bathroom.

Or at least she tried.

"I'm gonna tell him that you called ..." Frost's voice sounded out of the bedroom before he finally hung up the phone.

"Baby, are you alright?" he asked and knocked at the door.

Klara didn't answer what made him enter the room after another minute had passed.

She saw the sad and worried look in his eyes as soon as he saw her tears and how she looked at herself in the mirror whilst trying to dress up without hurting herself too much because of the bruises Mr J inflicted her last night.

Her arms and her back were strewn with dark purple bruises and Mr J's handprint around her throat was even more visible than a few hours ago by now.

Frost's POV

"Don't move too much" Frost whispered into her ear and took the black turtle neck sweater from her right hand and helped her putting it on carefully.

It broke his heart to see her that exhausted and it reminded him too much of those two weeks in which she had been laying in a coma, without anyone knowing if she would make it.

Her eyes had dark outlines and he knew that she hadn't slept tonight after what happened.

Klara fell against his chest slightly searching for some comfort that he gave to her immediately.

She opened her mouth to say something but she closed it again after nothing came out.

She was too weak to even talk.

Frost gave her a kiss, hugging her as much as he could without putting too much pressure into it, what could cause her pain and he could feel how much that meant to her.

"I love you" she whispered scarcely audible.

"I love you too."

Klara's POV

Klara didn't want to go upstairs she knew that Mr J would probably be with Sienna now but she also didn't want to be alone after what happened past the last night.

She had never felt like that for years, she couldn't even remember that being scared to death felt that horrible.

Frost had told her it wouldn't take him long, he just had to convey Mr J a message from the business man who called him half an hour ago.

As soon as he would be finished he would stay with her in their room today, watching some TV, eating a bit and making her forget about what happened.

Klara and Frost made their way up to the penthouse were they had to pass a door which separated the floor with the elevator from the big penthouse but as soon as they entered Mr J's housing complex he started to yell at them immediately.

"HAVE YOU TWO NEVER LEARNED TO KNOCK?!"

"I'm sorry boss, I didn't think-"

"It was my fault. I opened the door without knocking" Klara interrupted him carefully and took a hold at his suit jacket.

She didn't want Mr J to get mad at it him god only knows what he would do to him if the Joker got into a rage like last night.

She thought of Mr J yelling at her again but before Frost's boss could speak further Sienna took the word: "It's okay, honey. But why are you wearing a turtle neck sweater? It's September."
