"I'd prefer you to call me Clara"Clara told the butler as they got to the dining room. "Okay ,Clara"

Clara looked at the exotic dishes on the table.

"Is all these food just for me?"Clara asked.

"Yes,Clara. The boss asked us to prepare all of this as he didn't know which one you'd like"James said.

"Why don't you join me?"Clara invited James.

"We're not supposed to eat on the dining table,so please excuse me"James said and left the room.

After Clara had finished eating, the maids came to clear the table.

Clara recalled the previous night, she didn't see any maids.

She called out to a maid who seemed to be supervising the works of the other servants.

"You there, what's your name?"Clara asked.

"Me"the maid said shivering.

"I just asked for your name, it's not like I'm going to eat you or something"Clara said and signalled her to come closer.

The other workers watched curiously.

    Clara looked at Alex Banks in the eyes. She grabbed his face and reassured him. "tell me and I promise you, I'll not tell anyone else. I'll take your secret to my grave" Alex Banks laughed. "I'm not my father's biological son, I'm just like a stand in"Alex Banks explained. "Sooo, it's not much of a big deal"Clara said smiling. "What!!"Alex Banks said. "I'm not going to break our deal just because you're not a rich heir. but you just said you loved me and that can't be possible because we met few days ago"Clara said. Alex Banks was surprised Clara didn't want to talk about it. Most girls left him when they found out that he wasn't the heir of the Banks. "I've liked you for quite a while"Alex Banks said.

"But the boss doesn't allow us"Rose said, she didn't want to get fired. "He won't do anything okay, I'll talk to him"Clara said with a big smile on her face. "Seeing you smile like this means you've made up with the boss" "Yes, we've straightened things out"Clara said. "Clara, do you like the boss?"Rose asked. Clara was taken aback by this question. "I,I mean it's just one sided love. He wants it but I don't"Clara replied. Her expression gloomy. "You shouldn't do that to the boss, he's already been through so much"Rose said pitifully. "You're making it sound like I'm the guilty one here. He asked for it and I want him to help me get back at my ex's family"

    "Clara, you should be more more careful around the pool. How could you slip into the pool when you can't swim?" Kevin said and turned to the guards who had came in when they heard the commotion. "What were you guys doing? if I hadn't gotten there, what would've happened."Kevin yelled at the guards. "We're sorry sir" the guards apologized. "Well sorry doesn't change what happened today" Clara said drawing everyone's attention. The four guards looked at Clara, trembling with fear. They knew Clara was the boss' girlfriend and if Clara complains to Alex Banks,they would definitely get fired. "We're very sorry ma'am"The guards apologized to Clara. "Why apologize when you guys won't do your job properly?"Clara said coldly, scaring the shit out of the guards. That moment, Alex Banks walked into the room with Avi.

    "Why exactly did you come with us?, Don't you have any work to do?"Avi asked Clara in the elevator. She knew Clara wasn't the type to tag along. The elevator opened at the top floor and they stepped out. Kevin went into Alex Banks office. "I've been fired from my job,I didn't submit anything for three days. So I'm here to play CEO since I've got nothing to do"Clara said and followed Kevin into the office. Clara walked to Alex Banks chair and sat on it. "What are you doing?"Kevin asked.

She didn't want to sex with Alex Banks because she was afraid that she might like this guy. Alex Banks opened Clara's shirt and her nipples were already erect waiting for him. He sucked her nipple,Clara moaned loudly. Then he shifted her panties and slid his finger into her pussy. Clara's pussy was soaking wet already. He slid his finger in and out of her pussy,Clara back arched as she held unto Alex for support. He removed his finger and bent his head down to her pussy. He licked the juice on the pussy and bit her clit. Clara felt a shocking sensation all over her body. Clara pushed him away and adjusted her clothes.

"What,how could she try to buy you off?"Avi huffed. "Well, I'm going to return this to Alex tomorrow and break up with him" "Are you mad Clara,I don't care about the money but why would you break up with Alex" "Alex likes you a lot Clara.

    "Answer the fucking question Clara"Alex Banks yelled and slammed the table. Clara couldn't hold back her tears anymore and sobbed loudly. Alex Banks looked at her,this was his first time seeing Clara cry. He felt a sharp pain in his chest. "I,I don't want to do this anymore please"Clara pleaded and cried more. "Is it because of what my mother said to you?" Alex Banks asked again. Clara wasn't telling him something. "Did someone else threaten you?"Alex asked. He walked closer to Clara and wiped off her tears. Clara remembered Anna Banks words and pushed Alex's arm away. There was a moment of silence between the two for a few minutes. "So what if I like you,it doesn't change anything " Clara was frustrated already. Alex Banks held his chest and groaned in pain. "Alex what's wrong with you?"Clara asked worriedly as she saw Alex Banks in pain. Alex brought out a pill box and took a pill. Clara poured Alex a glass of water and gave him. He was sweating profusely

    “I was ashamed,” he cut in quietly.That stopped her cold.“I couldn’t face you. Not after what I did.”“And what did you do, Alex?” she asked, voice tight with restrained fury. “Tell me. Say it out loud.”He looked away. “I slept with Quinn.”The words fell like stones.She nodded slowly. “So it’s true.”“It meant nothing.”“You think that makes it better?”“No. I know it doesn’t.”The silence stretched again. Then Clara whispered, “Why?”He stepped forward. “Because I’m a coward. Because I was afraid of how much I care about you. Because I thought—maybe I could ruin it before it could ruin me.”She let out a bitter laugh. “Well. Congratulations. You succeeded.”His voice cracked. “I never stopped thinking about you. Every damn minute I was away from you, I wanted to come back. But I didn’t think I deserved to.”“You don’t.”The pain in her voice nearly broke him.“But I still love you,” he said, voice hoarse. “I never stopped. I’ve never loved anyone like I love you, Clara.”She loo

    Across Town – Maya’s Private villa.Maya sat with her legs crossed, watching live security footage of Clara’s building. She had eyes everywhere now. And with Quinn as her unstable puppet, the plan was moving faster than expected.One call, and Clara would be gone.She picked up the phone, dialed.“Move to Phase Two,” she said. “I want her out of the picture.”“What about Alex?” the voice on the other end asked.Maya smiled. “Let Quinn ruin him. Once he’s broken… I’ll finish the job.”She hung up, eyes glittering with victory.---Later That Day – Clara’s ApartmentClara had barely moved from her spot on the couch.The doorbell rang.She opened it slowly.Alex stood there, looking like he hadn’t slept in days.“I need to talk to you,” he said.She didn’t move.He stepped inside without waiting for an invitation.“Clara, I didn’t mean to hurt you. I didn’t even mean for it to happen. I was drunk. I was… drugged, I think.”She turned to him slowly. “You think you were drugged?”“I don’t

    Meanwhile, Quinn watched the video again from her hotel suite, smirking. She could practically feel Alex unraveling already. Just one leak, and everything he’d built would burn.She picked up her phone and dialed.“Release the clip to Clara if he doesn’t do what I ask,” she told her contact. “He’ll come crawling.”Just then, the door clicked behind her.Quinn turned, expecting her assistant.Instead, she found herself staring into Maya Stark’s icy eyes.“Oh,” Quinn said with a smirk, “to what do I owe the pleasure?”Maya walked in, slow and deliberate. “You think you’re clever, don’t you?”Quinn’s eyes narrowed. “I know I am.”Maya tilted her head. “I came to make you an offer.”“Go on.”“We work together. You keep Alex occupied. I take care of Clara.”Quinn raised a brow. “And what do I get?”Maya’s smile was razor-sharp. “Everything you want—Alex, money, revenge. I just want the girl gone.”Quinn laughed softly. “You’re insane.”“Perhaps,” Maya said, “but I always get what I want.”

    Kevin continued, “She tried to kill you, man. This isn’t about jealousy anymore. It’s about control.”Alex finally turned. “Do whatever it takes. Find proof. And keep this quiet.”Kevin narrowed his eyes. “What about Clara? Are you going to keep treating her like a stranger too?”Alex flinched.Kevin sighed. “She’s not the enemy, Alex. But if you keep pushing her away, she will be gone. For good.”Before Alex could reply, the receptionist buzzed in.“Ms. Quinn Stark is here for you.”Alex stared at the intercom, a muscle in his jaw tightening.“Send her in.”Clara stood frozen in the middle of the living room, the sound of the door slamming behind Alex still echoing in her ears. His words—“It’s none of your business”—hung in the air like a dagger suspended over her chest. It wasn’t just what he said, but the way he said it. Cold. Detached. Like she was a stranger asking too much of a man who owed her nothing.She sat down slowly, the silence closing in like a storm cloud. Her fingers

    He slammed the bathroom counter with both fists, pain shooting up his arm.Coward.That’s what he was.Because it wasn’t just the act—it was the way it had changed everything inside him. The guilt made it impossible to look Clara in the face without seeing her heartbreak. So he didn’t.He walked out into the bedroom. She wasn’t there.For a moment, he thought she had left.He almost hoped she did.But then he saw her curled on the couch, arms around her knees like a child, silent tears glistening in the dim light.Something inside him cracked.He moved toward her, then stopped.He didn’t deserve to comfort her.ClaraShe felt him approach before she saw him.Clara looked up slowly, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. Alex stood there, looking lost. Like he wanted to speak—but couldn’t.“Why are you doing this?” she asked softly.He didn’t answer.“Did I do something wrong?”“No,” he said finally, his voice hoarse.“Then why are you shutting me out again?”“Because I’m not the

    Alex’s expression changed. “What?”“Yeah. They weren’t faulty. They were cut. And the footage from the garage was wiped. A clean two-hour gap. Only someone from inside could’ve done that.”Alex’s hands clenched. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine. A fractured arm and a few bruised ribs. But if I was driving your car that day…”“Maya,” Alex said quietly.Kevin’s head tilted. “You think so too?”“She’s the only one smart enough and ruthless enough.”“What the hell does she want?”“Control,” Alex muttered. “And I just gave her a reason.”Kevin stared. “What do you mean?”Alex didn’t answer. Instead, he shifted back into CEO mode, tossing Kevin a document. “We need to finalize the Decker merger. Handle the press. I’ll give you a few days off. You’ve earned it.”Kevin wanted to press further. He wanted answers. But something in Alex’s expression warned him to back off. The man was crumbling, piece by piece, and Kevin wasn’t sure if he was going to make it out whole.---ClaraIt was well past midni

    “She tried to bribe me. Said I could have the job if I told her where Jeremy is.”Mabel stared at her, horrified. “She did what?”“I walked out.” Clara’s voice trembled. “I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t.”Mabel’s expression softened instantly. “Good. You did the right thing.”“Clara, I’m proud of you. Vivian’s a snake. If you’d accepted, she would’ve found a new way to twist the knife. You chose yourself. That matters.”Clara exhaled, some of the pressure easing from her chest. “I feel like I’ll never catch a break.”“You will,” Mabel said firmly. “And when you do, it’ll be on your terms.”***********ClaraThe silence in the penthouse was suffocating.Clara sat on the edge of the bed, her phone clutched tightly in her hand. The screen displayed the same thing it had for the past two days: Call ended. Twenty-three missed calls. Three unread messages—short, uncertain, all unsent drafts she’d stared at for hours before deleting. She hadn’t heard a word from Alex since that night.Since he d

    The morning sunlight filtered softly through Clara’s window, casting warm golden streaks across the hardwood floor. She stood in front of her mirror, adjusting the collar of her blouse for the third time. Pale blue—professional, calming, confident. She exhaled slowly, trying to settle the nerves churning in her stomach.Behind her, Mabel leaned against the doorframe with a mug of coffee in hand. “You look like you’re about to walk into a Vogue cover shoot.”Clara cracked a smile. “Thanks, but I feel like I’m about to walk into a firing squad.”Mabel straightened up, walking over to clasp Clara’s shoulders. “You’ve got this. You’re smart, you’re talented, and you’ve got more grit than most people I know. Just be yourself."They left the villa, the city already humming with Monday morning energy. Mabel dropped her off at the entrance of the company, one of the most prestigious independent publishing houses in the city.Clara took in the sleek glass façade, the crisp signage, the bustle

    She picked up the phone,"Hi Avi, what's up with you?" Clara greeted."I'm in the hospital right now Clara " Avi said,her voice sounding like she had been crying."What happened to you ,why are you in the hospital? " Clara asked. Mabel heard Clara mention hospital,so she strained her ear trying to listen to their conversation. It wasn't hard for her to hear what they were saying because she was a good at eavesdropping."It's not me, I'm perfectly fine. It's Kevin,he was in a car accident and I've been trying to call Alex Banks but he isn't picking up" Avi said."How did he get into an accident?" Clara asked. "They investigated and checked the car, someone had ripped out the brakes of the car" Avi said."Why would someone try to kill Kevin?" Clara asked."They weren't trying to kill Kevin but Alex. The car belonged to your boyfriend" Avi said."I'll come to the hospital now" Clara said."You don't need to come,he only sustained minor injuries. He'll be discharged tomorrow and it's alr
