Daniel couldn't believe his eyes, Joana was right all along, "how dare you" he asked for the last time and walked menacingly toward them
"Daniel, I..." Bella started but one glare from him had her shut up, he didn't want to listen to anything from her mouth, what he had seen so far was enough evidence
He grabbed Jeremy by his shirt and for the first time, fear flashed in Jeremy's eyes, no one would see an angry Nikolai Klaus and not shiver in fear
"Let me go," Jeremy said and tried to release his shirt from Daniel's grasp but his request only earned him a punch from Daniel
"You have the guts to come into my house and kiss my wife?" Daniel snarled and kicked Jeremy's stomach and he flew across the room
"I didn't do anything wrong, I only wanted my share of the good life that she has, after all, we were a couple before you came in between us" Jeremy groaned and tried to stand up.
Daniel was livid, the bastard thought he was living here alive hence he still had the guts to say a few things in front of him, Daniel kicked his chin and sent him flying right back on the ground
The sex video he had watched earlier replayed in Daniel's head and his heart stirred, he rose Jeremy from the ground and dealt him another blow, he held his neck and choked,
Jeremy tried to return the punches but Daniel could easily dodge them,
he choked him until he was almost lifeless before letting him fall.
"I won't let you die easily" Daniel snarled, he grabbed Jeremy's jaw and punched him right in his mouth, "I'll rip off your tongue for daring to kiss her" he vowed
Blood oozed from Jeremy's nose and mouth, "you are a freaking monster" Jeremy managed to say, bloodied and weak from all the assaults.
Daniel was seated astride him, aiming punches at him while Jeremy flailed his legs, Bella cried for him to stop fighting and listen to her but Daniel was in no mood to listen to anybody, in fact, her pleas only angered him the more.
Jeremy raised his leg and reached into his boot and brought out a small knife and aimed at Daniel's arm
"Watch out Daniel" Bella warned but the knife pierced into Daniel's arm, Jeremy was already weak, hence, the cut didn't go so deep that it would be fatal, Daniel easily ripped the knife from his arm and placed Jeremy's hand on the ground, he pierced the knife into his palm and Jeremy howled in pain.
The look on Daniel's face was deadly, this was the side of him that always made her shiver in fear. This was the king of the underworld, Nikolai Klaus, the one no one dares go against, she shuddered as she stared at the cold and unyielding face of his, there was no trace of the loving and caring Daniel that she had become used to.
Daniel got off Jeremy's almost lifeless body and brought out a gun from his pocket and aimed at Jeremy, without blinking, he pulled the trigger.
Bella screamed as she stared at Jeremy's lifeless body, she always knew that Daniel was capable of killing anyone who crossed his wrong side, no, this wasn't, Daniel, this was Nikolai Klaus, the unyielding and unforgiving Nikolai Klaus.
Icy chills went down her spine when after a moment, he faced her and pointed the gun right at her.
Tears ran down her cheeks as she just stared at him and slowly shook her head from side to side
"Arhhh, why?" He screamed and fired shots beyond her, bringing down portraits with his shots and missing her just by a hairline, "I loved you with every piece of me," he cried as he threw the gun and went up to her, he shook her hard so that her teeth shattered against each other, "I could lay down my life for you if you had asked, why did you betray me like this?"
"Daniel, just listen to me please" she begged and raised her hand to touch his cheek but he pushed her away from him
For the first time since she had known Daniel, she saw tears stream down his cheeks, she had never seen him look this hurt and broken and her heart broke along with him, she didn't mean to hurt him this much, if only he could just listen to her.
"Do not touch me" he gritted, "do not ever touch me" he warned taking steps backward, then turning, he stormed out of the house.
Bella coiled herself like a ball and cried, why won't he listen to her side of the story? Perhaps, when he is calmer, he will give her the opportunity to tell her own side of the story.
*******************************************
Brittany and Aaron were seated at the dining table about to take dinner when Aaron broke the news to her
"Did you know that Bella had a sex video uploaded on the internet?" He asked casually and she paused and stared at him
"How did you know?" She asked warily
"Oh, I see that you already knew about it" Aaron snapped and Brittany narrowed her eyes at him
"I knew about it because the bastard who did it kept threatening her and when I tried to interfere, he even threatened to kill my baby"
"He what?" Aaron yelled standing up, "And you didn't think that I should know about it?"
"No, I didn't think you should know about it because that would mean telling you about the video which Bella didn't want anyone to know about"
"I see," he said coldly
"Did you see the video?" She asked through narrowed eyes
"Of course I did and lots of her nudes, I didn't think that she could do a thing like that"
"Of course she didn't, someone else did and without her consent and you went about staring at my friend's nudes and watching her sex video, oh wow! Didn't anyone teach you about decorum?"
"I didn't go about looking at her nudes okay, it just popped up on my news feed and I must say that I was shocked and of course, I had to tell my friend about it"
"You what? Didn't you think twice about what that could do to her marriage?" Brittany yelled and now, it was her turn to stand up from the dining
"She should have thought about that before engaging in such a disgusting act"
"What act is disgusting? She made love with her ex and the bastard recorded them and uploaded it on the internet, how is it her fault?"
"She should have let her husband know"
"You know what? I am not arguing this with you but I am never forgiving you if anything happens to my friend" she warned and stomped past him
"Come and have your dinner" Aaron called out to her retreating back
"Thanks to you I am full, you can eat the fucking dinner alone" she yelled, and the loud shutting of the reached his ears.
Aaron sighed, he would have to take dinner to her because she had to eat for the sake of the baby, he wondered how he suddenly became the bad guy in this story.
Thinking about his friend, he wondered if he was okay, he must be feeling terrible and he couldn't help but worry about Daniel, bringing out his phone, He called someone to keep a close eye on him.

Back at Daniel's house, some men came in and took Jeremy's body away. He had called two of his men to dispose of the body as he went out of the house.
Jeremy's lifeless body was put in a truck and driven to a nearby cliff and the truck was rolled down the cliff with the body inside.
The two men stood on the cliff and watched as the truck hit the bottom and after a moment, exploded, they watched it burn to ashes before leaving. No one would know what happened to Jeremy Campbell, the police were already looking for him to get him arrested, his crimes on the police file were long including murder but not even the police would know what happened to him.
Jeremy is gone and will never bother anyone again.
