Niklaus Mikaelson is sinfully rich

"ISOBEL."

"Katherine is back in Mystic Falls." Isobel greets Genesis through the phone, and it instantly makes her smile. She glances toward Niklaus, who is reading a book. He motions his hand for Genesis to let Isobel continue.

"Is that so? Why?" Genesis asks.

"I don't know. She didn't say." Isobel answers breathlessly, seemingly nervous.

"How useless." Genesis ends the call, looking at Niklaus with a grin. "I guess Katherine finally learned of our doppelgänger." she glances at her watch and sighs. It's only a matter of time before Damon calls her telling her what Isobel has just told her.

Niklaus releases a hum, "She is eighteen now. Legal enough to be part of the sacrifice? Well, almost." Niklaus teases, and Genesis rolls her eyes at him. She dismisses him, "My guess is that Katherine doesn't want Isobel to know why she is in Mystic Falls because Katherine is serving her daughter on a silver platter for you. Isobel interrupting will destroy Katherine's plan." She concludes, and Niklaus gives her an impressed look. Closing his book shut and placing it on the coffee table, switching it with a glass of whiskey.

"And Katerina thinks that I will give her freedom. She's wrong. I intend to torture her first, then let her go, then torture her, and the cycle repeats." Niklaus takes a sip of his whiskey, ankle on the knee, as he leans on his leather seat. Genesis scoffs at him, "You have that kind of free time."

"I'm immortal, love. I need entertainment." Niklaus answers smoothly. "I have all the time in the world after I break my curse."

"Then make your little hybrid mutts." Genesis smiled, and Niklaus feigned offense. "You're basically calling me a mutt too." He places his hand on his chest where his heart resides.

"Are you not?" Genesis then mimics a dog's bark when her phone rings. She laughs at him, and she shushes him with her fingers, and he raises his arms in mock defense.

Genesis answered her phone as Damon didn't give her time to speak. "Katherine's back in town."

She fakes a tone of surprise while Niklaus hides a chuckle, "Really? Why?"

"You are just as clueless as I am. Can you drive here?" Damon asks, and Genesis ponders for a while, making Damon think that she is thinking of her decision.

"Where will I stay?" Genesis asks, looking at Niklaus, her eyes indicating that he owes her. Niklaus waves his other hand while he takes a sip of whiskey.

"Stay at my house while you're here." Damon offers, and Genesis sighs, answering. "Sure. I want the biggest guest room in the house with the prettiest bathroom."

"Deal."

"I'll be there by tomorrow." Genesis ends the call before Damon can reply. Genesis places her phone beside her, and she crosses her arms at Niklaus with a raised eyebrow.

"Out with it." Niklaus sighs heavily as his jaw tightens, looking at Genesis expectantly-annoyedly.

"That house is ugly, and I don't want to stay there for how long I'll be there," Genesis tells him, and Niklaus's expression is serious as he looks Genesis in the eye, and Genesis stares at him too with a pierced look.

Staring contests is the usual with them when Genesis wants something from him, and she will get it too often for Niklaus's liking.

"Fine." Niklaus spits out with a scoff. "What do you want?"

Genesis hums in amusement. Leaning back on her seat with a smile coming up her face. "I want a house with a big garden, and you'll pay for my expenses while I'm in there."

Niklaus scowls at her, and Genesis reasons out. "I am doing your dirty work. Why not do it with a new pair of Louboutins?" She looked at her black YSL stilettos, which were already outdated even though she had just bought them last week.

"Done. I'll ask Cassandra to look into it." Niklaus sighs in defeat, taking his phone as he starts to type. He is sending a message to Cassandra.

Cassandra is Theodore's daughter.

Theodore is the head of the Rivera coven. And she's been assigned to look out for the doppelganger as she would help to break Niklaus's curse.

Niklaus has been helping Cassandra and her daughter ever since they moved to Mystic Falls two years ago. Her daughter Clementine is a year older than Elena Gilbert. Clementine is in her senior year of high school. "And I'll be depositing the money in your bank account."

Genesis frowns. "You never lend me your black Amex card." pouting her plump red lips at him. Niklaus rolls his eyes.

"Because you'll drain it dry."

"And you'll just keep earning more." Genesis retorts back. "Thanks to me, of course." Genesis praises herself, and Niklaus looks at her boredly. Genesis has multiple businesses around the world.

One is selling a daylight ring for half a million dollars, and it's high in demand. Niklaus is impressed and helps her with it. Threatening every witch around the globe to direct the vampires in need of daylight rings to Genesis's business, and with Niklaus owning multiple properties.

Genesis advised him for big investors to rent in his properties and make them pay double the price. It's not like they had a choice; Niklaus compelled them to.

His paintings are bought and sought by high and wealthy aesthetes and sold, sometimes bid with/for nine zeros.

Niklaus will never run out of money.

He is sinfully rich, and he knows it too.

Like he walks on every ground like he owns it, or he knows that he can buy everything and anything with one swipe of his Black Amex card. And being alive for a millennia, he took his time to climb to the spot of the wealthiest fucking person in the world.

But humans don't need to know that, and he certainly doesn't need to be on the cover of Forbes's top 10 billionaires.

Niklaus Mikaelson already knows he's rich.

Why does he need to prove it?

When he can show it with his watch, his clothes, his personality and aura, and the way he fills the room with his mere presence.

He could easily give her anything she wanted, along with money. He's just a prick and wants to be begged for it.

Genesis Ackerman doesn't beg, especially for man, specifically for Niklaus Mikaelson.

And being Genesis Ackerman means that she gets what she wants and knows how to get it because she is Niklaus Mikaelson's only loyal and trusted friend.

And Niklaus values loyalty and trust above all, and because Genesis is doing his dirty work, she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty as long as she gets something for/from it, everything comes with a price, and she does things that will benefit her too.

Genesis is just collecting by asking, requesting-demanding Niklaus many lavish and luxurious things. And to be quite honest, she's bored the hell out of her mind. Living for centuries gets dull and boring after all.

Killing and murdering people for entertainment is overrated.

"I better pack then." Genesis stands up from her seat and she tilts her head at him, "Ready to break your curse?"

Niklaus looks at her with excitement, but he gives her a shrug. He waves his hand at her in dismissal. "Waited for centuries. I can wait for a few more months. Go entertain yourself first." He answers-a little forced, and Genesis furrows her eyebrows at him. His answer came to her as a shock.

Why is Niklaus Mikaelson so lenient with her?

Genesis nods and exits his office room. She's thankful that she's the only one who is nice too-well, Elliot too sometimes when Niklaus is in the mood to tolerate Elliot's playful attitude.

She still couldn't get over the fact that Niklaus Mikaelson, who's part of the first generation of vampires, is her friend and that he actually tolerates her presence even though they bicker and share the same pettiness. That the reputation that he built since then actually melts off when he is with her.

Niklaus cared about her to the extent of how a brother cares for a sister. And Genesis doesn't know why.

But who is she to question it when that's exactly what she felt.

Niklaus Mikaelson felt like family.

And she couldn't help but smile at the thought of it.

Author's Note:
-Yes. I am adding more to Niklaus Mikaelson's personality, not just a murderous hybrid but a billionaire-decillion kind of murderous hybrid with a holier-than-though attitude, and we love that.
