Hi, Kela here! I hope you'll love my stories. Please do support me ❤️ I will be updating my story every Wednesday :)
Claire came out of the room and started working again, but thankfully the assigned task for the day was already done, thanks to Gina. She came down to their department to look for Gina, but unfortunately, she just went home. “Kaye, have you seen Gina?” “She just went home, Claire. She has been looking for you. Where have you been? Were you slacking off somewhere?” Kaye teasingly said. She just laughed and thanked her. “Bye, Kaye. Thank you.” Claire said. She’s too tense to entertain people right now. What happened to her in that room is a secret. It should remain a secret forever. I think he wouldn’t even know that I went there and something happened between us, right? But what if he will remember? He was drunk. What if? Claire sighed with the thought. What should I do? What if she will come and sue me? You should be the one suing him, not the other way around. But---I liked what happened. What should I dooooo! Claire is inside the women’s locker room. She is alone be
The landlady looked at her with a reassuring look. “I do not doubt you. I know you will.” Her landlady assuredly said. Her landlady stood up and went to her door. She opened the door and was about to come out when we stopped and looked at her. “Claire,” her landlady called. “Yes, Ma’am?” “Someone was looking for you a while ago. It’s a guy, and he looked tough. He asked me if I knew you, and I said I didn't know you. Who was that, Claire? Do you know him?” “I don’t know someone here, Ma’am. I am not really sure who that was” “Okay, Claire. I’ll be going now.” Her landlady came out of her room and closed the door. Someone is looking for me?! Who would that be? I have to look for a new place too! I can’t afford to get caught her. She stood up and changed, and went outside to look for a new place. The day is about to end. She did not find a new place. She found one, but it’s too expensive, she can afford to pay for it from her savings, but doesn’t even have a job she won'
Three months later Claire was at her workplace. She is now a receptionist in a Chinese fine-dining restaurant. She was giving out the bill on the table when she smell something that got her dizzy and nauseous. She was at the stairs when she smell it again. She stopped in the middle of the stairs when she felt like vomiting, she felt like her surroundings was turning. Claire got out-balanced. She was ready to fall when someone caught her from falling, and her mind went blank. Claire felt that the person who caught her lifted her and shouted. “Get out of the way.” Claire woke up and saw that she was inside a room. Her eyes roamed around. She was about to stand up when she felt dizzy again. “Aw,” Claire exclaimed. Where am I? My head is aching so bad! Claire smelled something, and that upset her stomach. Gosh! I want to vomit, but I’m too dizzy to do so. She covered her mouth so that she would not vomit anywhere. She tried to stand up when the door opened. She didn’t bot
Claire’s POV Claire is still in the hospital, thinking about her situation. Vladimir Villazanta came out to settle her papers to be discharged from the hospital. Why does he need to check out for me? Why does he need someone to search for me? I mean, he can just forget about everything and move on. It’s not like he lost something. It was I who lost everything. My everything. Claire sighed and looked at the window. She looked around, and she saw fruits beside her bed. Thank God there’s something to eat and lessen my stress. She took an orange and started peeling it off. She sighed once again while peeling the fruit. I still can’t believe that I’m pregnant. What should I do? “Should I just run away?” Claire said out loud. “Yes, of course, you can do that. I’ll just let my people come and get you, and it’ll be a waste of time for me and money for you, so I think you just disregard what you’re thinking and just eat.” Vladimir said. Claire screamed at the top of her lung! “W
Vladimir’s POV Vladimir touched his temple while putting back his phone. That woman never learns from her mistake. Gosh! The nerve to even change there! Thank God I didn’t tell Paul to look out for her. Vladimir leaned on her seat and looked up the ceiling when the door of Claire’s room opened. He turned to see who had come out and saw Claire in her uniform. Speaking of the devil. Tsk tsk. He saw Claire tiptoeing and slowly closing the door. She was ready to run when he spoke. “You won’t be able to run away again, Claire. You’ll just hurt the baby. You’re pregnant, Claire. Think about the baby before doing something that will harm the baby.” Vladimir said and stood up. Claire screamed because she got surprised by Vladimir’s voice. She touched her chest and looked at him. “Will you stop that! Gosh! You’re always making me nervous! And I am not running away. I was just,” she taught of something. “I was looking for a comfort room. Because my child is telling me to eat someth
Vladimir’s POV Vladimir comes out of Claire’s door. He then walked towards the bench and sat there. He was about to get his phone when he remembered what had happened a while ago. Nah. She won’t try to run away again. So, he just sat there and took his polo, but he stopped midway. Should I wear this? Or—-hmm… I’ll just wait for my driver. So, Vladimir waited for his driver without his clothes on. He looked at the ceiling while waiting for his driver when someone called him. “Vlad?” He looked at the person who called him. It was his friend Ricardo, the doctor, who checked on Claire. “Oh! Is that the new trend?” His friend Ricardo teasingly said. He looked away and spoke
Vladimir’s POV “Here. You can sign that tomorrow after reading it.” He said. Claire took the contract. Vladimir saw Claire wiping her tears away when he entered a while ago. So, he contemplates giving the contract to her. That’s why she did those things towards Claire. He wants to assure her that he will take care of his child and her. He wanted to tell her that he was ready to raise the baby. That he will raise his son on his own. “What’s this for?” Claire asked. “A contract of giving me the custody of the child,” Vladimir answered. Claire is still looking at the papers. “Why should I give you the sole custody to my child? This child is also mine,” Claire said while holding her stomach and look at him.
Claire’s POV“What?!” Claire said in horror.“What do you mean I have to marry you? Why do I have to marry you? You just want the child!” Claire said while glaring at Vladimir. “Give me that contract!”Vladimir looked straight into her eyes and spoke. “You already signed it, right? Why bother looking at it again?”“So, you marry me, whether you like it or not." Vladimir continued.“It wasn’t on the contract I’ve read before.”“I told you I revised the contract, but you just grabbed the paper and signed it, so is it my fault that you signed that contract without reading it? Hmmm?”“I will not marry you! I will never
Claire POVClaire and Vladimir’s pictorial ended.Vladimir took her hand and held her. He then led her. She just followed him, and held his hand tightly. As if that was the only security she needed that time. She took a deep breath.After a while, they reached the garden at the back of the Boutique, where they got their wedding dress and wedding suit.Shock was understatement.She looked around. And, saw how beautiful her wedding was. Their wedding.She smiled at the thought. It’s a garden wedding! Her dream wedding.Tears almost escaped from her eyes when she saw her family near the altar. But, she stopped herself from crying. Claire saw the priest waiting for them in front. The guests who are present are her family, on the left side, and the woman on the right side.A woman? She looked at Vladimir to ask who the woman was, but he wasn’t looking at her but her family. She saw her mom and dad standing up and walked towards them. After a while, her parents reached them. “Ma’
Claire’s POV Claire is currently wearing a sophisticated white dress that’s hugging her body and flows down her legs. The wedding dress has a low V-neck line paired with a half-centimeter strap. She walked towards the mirror to look at herself. And, there she saw how beautiful she was. The make up artists weren't joking when they tild her she was so beautiful.She can't believe how the wedding dress complemented her features.Just like what I've imagined. The woman who assisted them a while ago asked her about her preference, and she described it to her. She tried on one dress a while ago but disliked it because it was too daring. And now, the neckline, the strap, and the dress suited her preference well. “I—I love it.” Claire said out loud. “Yes, Ma’am, it feels like the dress has already found its owner.” She looked at herself. She didn’t know that she would be able to wear her dream dress on her wedding day. “Do you want to show to your future husband yourself, Ma
Claire’s POV Claire and Vladimir started at each other. “Claire, marriage is once in a lifetime. You need to wear a dress for your wedding properly.” Claire's dad said. Claire then looked at his father. “Yes, Pa, I will.” “You go with your Vladimir. We will follow you later.” She smiled at her dad. “Yes, Sir, the other car will be here any minute now.” “Okay. Go ahead, both of you. And, Vladimir, you take care of my daughter. We will see you at the venue." Claire's father continued. She looked at Vladimir again. And so is Vladimir. “Let’s go, Claire,” Vladimir said. They went outside Claire's family's house.Vladimir then opened the gate and guided her outside. She said goodbye to her family and walked outside of their gate's house. She looked back and waved goodbye to her family once more. After that, she started walking towards the car. She didn’t even bother waiting for Vladimir. She is now in front of the car. She stopped and contemplated. Should I
Claire’s POV Grace? The woman she has been waiting and loving for a long time? And, the reason why he made love to me that day? That, Grace? Claire looked at him and she saw him still looking at the woman, even though the car had already left for a long time. We just kissed, but here you are looking at another woman. Well, she's not just another woman. She is Grace. Well, how can I compete with someone who you genuinely love? I am just a woman whom you got pregnant and whom you had a one-night stand with. I'm just nothing compared to her. She turned around and started walking towards her family’s house. I will just let him be and let him think about what he really wants. “Claire, you’re done talking?” Her mom said. She closed the gate and hugged her mom. She sobbed and started crying. “Why? What happened?” Her mom asked. “I just missed you all. I missed you all so much.” She was still crying when she heard Vladimir talk “Why did you leave me there alone, Cl
Claire’s POVClaire and Vladimir stared at each other. “Will you not regret the decisions you've made today, Claire?” Vladimir said after a while. Claire looked at the floor, and sighed. Of course, I will, but I don’t want to hurt them more once they realize that you and I are just in a contract marriage. “No,” Claire said still looking at the floor. “I will not.”Claire did not saw Vladimir's reaction, but he was silent for a while before answering“Okay.” Vladimir agreed. “If that’s what you want, Claire.”With a heavy heart, she turned around and started walking towards their house.He didn’t even stop me and just agreed. Why does he really want to marry me?She was thinking when he heard Vladimir's voice again. “Is that really what you want, Claire?” Vladimir said. She stopped from walking, she turned around and faced Vladimir. She was five meters away from him. “Hey! Why are you shouting?” Vladimir walked towards her direction. “But I want to tell them everyt
Claire’s POVClaire was still in shocked while looking at Vladimir, and then he spoke. “Ma’am,” Vladimir looked at her mom. “ Sir,” Then he looked at her dad. “Just call us Mom and Dad, Vlad,” Her mom said. She looked at her mom with shock in her eyes. She heard her sister chuckle. “Go for it, Vlad! And at long last, for a very long time, my sister has come home with a man!” Her sister, Carla, said. She then glared at her sister. “I’m really honored to hear that, Carla.” She heard Vladimir say. She looked at him sharply. He looked at her but he just smiled at her before looking at her parents again. “What---” “So, as I was saying, Mom and Dad,” Vladimir said towards her parents. “Can Claire and I talk for a moment?” “Yes, sure, of course.” Her dad said. “Thank you,” Vlad said. Vladimir looked at her. “Let's go, Claire.” She looked at Vladimir and walked past him and went outside. She felt that Vladimir was following her. She opened their gates and walked
Claire’s POV“Are you hungry?” Claire asked Vladimir“Naaah. Not really. Why?”“Can we just eat at my family's house instead?” Claire asked, and then looked at her phone.“Because my mom is asking me when I am coming home, so,” Claire sheepishly asked looked at Vladimir again.“Yes, I’m okay with it,” Vladimir answered.“Jose,” Vladimir called his driver.The driver looked at the rearview mirror.“Okay, Sir. Thank you.”After an hour of drive, they have reached their destination.She the saw familiar houses. Claire smiled while looking at it.I’m home. At last.“We are here, Sir,” Jose declared.She opened the door and got out of the car.“I’m finally home,” Claire whispered.She just kept looking around when she saw Vladimir beside her.She looked at him, at first she got confused why he's with her, and then, realization hit her.She’s not just there to come home, reunite, and bond with her family.She’s there to tell them that the man beside him, Vladimir Villazanta III, is the man
Claire’s POVClaire was looking outside of the car.She smiled when she noticed the familiar places.My hometown. I will get to see my family again after a long time. I miss them so much.Vladimir and Claire hasn't been talking since their last serious talk an hour ago. They weren't even looking at each other. Claire even pretended that she fell asleep just to ignore Vladimir.She just opened her eyes a minute ago.I’m hungry. I want to go home and eat my mama’s food, my favorite, menudo!While thinking about it, her stomach suddenly grumbled loudly.She was stunned but she recovered from it, and acted as if nothing had happened.Claire noticed that Vladimir suddenly passed her something.She looked at it, and
Claire’s POVClaire was holding her luggage in her right hand while walking towards the exit of Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Meanwhile, Vladimir is walking in front of her.She looked at him, and saw how he walked so confidently.Claire wanted to ask Vladimir if he is certain on wanting to meet her parents, but she can’t because of how unbothered he is.She sighed and looked down while she was walking.I hope mama and papa will understand.Claire then bumped her head on something, that she decided to look in front of her.It was Vladimir.He is now looking at her.“What do you think you’re doing not looking in front of you? What if you hit your head on the wall instead of me? Why are you following me instead of being beside me?
