2025-02-26 21:20:24Clara stepped out of her room after freshening up. She looked really great this morning.
"Look at you looking good after having an all night sex" Avi teased which made Clara blush. "Stop teasing me already" Clara said and waved her hand. "So where are you going?" Avi asked. "I'm going to Jeremy's place to pick up my things" "Let me come with you "Avi suggested "No need for that, I'll handle things there myself okay. Thanks for worrying about me "Clara said and planted a kiss on Avi's forehead. **AT THE BANKS OFFICE* Kevin, Alex assistant didn't know what was going on with the CEO today. He was all smiles ever since he arrived at the office this morning. "Sir,it seems you're in a good mood this morning" Kevin said. "Of course, I met a girl last night and she was hot" Alex banks said. Kevin now realised the reason behind his smiles. The boss had met a girl but he had never slept with a girl. "I had sex with this girl". Alex said shocking Kevin. "Wait, you did what." Kevin asked,he couldn't believe his ears. "She looked so cute in bed. Actually she kissed me first" "She kissed you first so you just had sex with someone you don't know"Kevin said,he was worried about the boss. "I know her"Alex Banks said shocking Kevin more. "Who is she?" "She's Jeremy's ex girlfriend" "Do you mean the girl who ran off from her wedding with another man?" "What do you mean by another man, she was with me all night " Alex frowned. "So you were the other man, I'm so sorry boss" "You should be"Alex said and left the office. **AT JEREMY'S PLACE** Clara walked in expecting to meet Jeremy but she met his mother and Vivian. They had already packed her suitcase ready to throw her out. "Thanks for helping me pack , I'll just grab the suitcase and leave." Clara said with a smile. "Where do you think you're going after all the shame and disgrace you put us through you slut" Jeremy's mother said. "I'm not a slut, the only slut here is Vivian. Don't think you can push me around anymore because it's over between I and your son" "You think we don't know what you've been up to Vivian said. she was such a sly fox. "What do you mean?"Clara asked. "We know that you left the wedding to meet you little lover"Vivian said. "I don't understand what you're saying " "Don't play dumb with me Clara. I have a video of how you two kissed all the way to his room. What if I release the video on the internet, what would people think about you?" Vivian threatened. "I don't care, I'm leaving and I don't want to see you guys again " Clara said and walked out of the room. How did she know about what happened last night,did she send someone to follow me, Clara thought. **AT A CONFERENCE MEETING** Beep,Kevin received a notification in his phone. He opened it and it was a leaked video of Alex having fun with Clara. Who might have leaked this video?That person was clearly walking into the lion's den. He walked up to Alex and showed him the video. Alex's expression turned dark, he got up and left the meeting. The board of directors were confused as to why Alex suddenly left the meeting. Alex banks pushed open the door of his office and sat on the couch "Who did that?"Alex asked "We don't know yet but the PR team are doing everything they can to take down the video" Kevin answered.q

"Don't take down the video"Alex banks said surprising Kevin. "But sir the last thing you need right now is to be involved in a scandal" "Just find whoever posted the video and deal with them"Alex concluded not wanting to talk about it anymore. **AT AVI'S PLACE** "Have you seen the video that is surging the internet?" Avi's asked Clara who seemed relaxed. "Yeah, Vivian posted it" "You mean that Jeremy's bitch that insulted you" "Yeah " "Then you should do something about it because I'm not sure Alex banks is going to do anything about it, not like this is his first or going to be his last relationship scandal "Avi said. "So what should I do Avi?"Clara asked lazily. Avi stood up,took her car keys and pulled Clara along with her. 'Where are we going,Avi"Clara asked "We're going to meet Alex banks and asked him to fucking take the video down" **AT THE BANKS COMPANY** Avi and Clara stood before the receptionist in the lobby. Immediately they entered, the employees remembe

"Are you crazy?" Clara shouted angrily. Avi and Kevin both raised an eyebrow. Did Clara just curse at Alex banks. Clara had had enough of people playing her so she didn't care anymore. "Fine I'll take down the video, but on one condition" Alex said. This was definitely his opportunity to have this girl. "Okay, what condition?"Clara asked finally cooling off. "Let's make a deal, be my girlfriend and I'll take down the video"Alex said leaving everyone shocked. Alex was clearly proposing to Clara. "You can as well leave the video on the internet" Clara response brought disappointment to all in the office. Even Kevin expected her to say Yes. She pulled Avi's arm and turned to leave. "What if I help get revenge on that bastard?" Alex said not wanting to miss this opportunity. Clara turned to look at Alex, her face was lit up indicating that she loved the idea. "What are you getting at?"Clara asked "Jeremy works in my company, I could fire him and even blacklist

**AT ALEX BANKS OFFICE** Kevin walked into Alex's office,"Your mother is here to see you"He said. "Send her in"Alex banks said. James knew well that Alex banks didn't like it when family members come to visit him at work. "How dare you make your mother wait at the reception, Alex"Anna shouted as she entered the office. Anna Banks was Alex's mother and she was always nagging. "You know why I'm here right?"Anna Banks said, trying to cool off. "What is it this time Mom?" "The video that has been circulating the internet,can you explain that?"Anna Banks asked. "There is nothing to explain mom" "What do you mean by nothing to explain. who is the girl in the video?"She asked. "She's my girlfriend". Alex banks said smiling,he knew what his mother's next reaction would be. Anna Banks gasped in shock,"Girlfriend!!Since when were you serious enough to have a girlfriend". Alex banks was always fooling around with other girls which made her really upset and worried, now

Every body in the conference room looked at him. Was he really leaving in the middle of a meeting? "I've got somewhere to be so finish up without me"Alex banks said and rushed out the door, leaving the people dumbfounded. **AT THE BANKS MANSION** "I'm talking to you and you're not showing any concern"Anna shouted at Robert Banks. Robert Banks was Alex's father. "We shouldn't meddle in our son's private life. You know how he is, jumping from one girl to the other. Let him do as he pleases"Robert Banks said. "You men are always like this can't you just understand my worry. That girl doesn't even have parents and she ran off on her wedding day" Anna said. "There's all sorts of rumour about her, people say she's just a gold digger and I don't expect better from people like that". Anna Banks added. "You haven't even met her yet". Robert Banks said, all these talking was already tiring him. "Do I really need to meet a girl like that? She is going to be like a stain on my son's rep

Clara woke up midmorning the next day. It was Thursday and she didn't have anything to do. She went downstairs and saw Avi reading a magazine, "No work today"Clara asked Avi. "Nah,I quit my job yesterday"Avi said. "Great, let's go have fun today"Clara hippied. "I said I just quit my job, shouldn't you be sorry for me?"Avi said. "I didn't ask because I'm very sure you quit your job because you were bored" "You're right, that work was just paper work and more paperwork and more paperwork,Arrgghhh" Avi groaned, she looked like she could tear anything apart. Clara took a few steps back. "Let's just leave this house and go have fun "Clara suggested. "You're right, we'll go to the park,then the shopping mall and a very nice restaurant "Avi said. "That sounds like an expensive fun and I'm currently broke" "How dare you say you're broke when your boyfriend is a billionaire? Just call him and ask for money " "No" "I'll call him for you "Avi snatched Clara's phone and dialled Al

"What are you doing, Clara?"Alex Banks said pulling her arm. "I'm leaving" Clara said. Alex Banks pulled Clara to the car. Inside the car, Alex Banks hugged Clara's waist and pulled her closer to his chest. He looked deep into her eyes and leaned in closer,close enough that Clara could feel his hot breath. Clara tried hard to avoid his gaze. "What are you not telling me Clara?" Alex Banks asked again. "It's nothing really"Clara replied. "I can tell that you're lying, Clara"Alex Banks said and let go of her. Clara tried to get out of the car but it was locked. "Open the door,I want to leave"Clara said with tears welling up in her eyes. "You're not leaving till you tell me what's going on" "How many girls have you met before me?"Clara asked. Alex Banks was surprised by the sudden question, "What do you mean?, you're my girlfriend Clara, I'm not seeing any other girl" Clara looked at Alex Banks, she felt like slapping him right now, "Let's break up, Alex" "What,Why?!!

"I just asked you a question,Alex" Clara said. Alex Banks looked at her, he left the room and locked the door. "He just locked the door. Oh my God, I've been kidnapped"Clara said. ****** IN ALEX'S STUDY "I need to know where these pictures came from"Alex Banks said, he picked up the whiskey glass and poured himself another shot of whiskey. Kevin looked at the pictures scattered on the table. The girls in the pictures were all Alex's ex girlfriend, Alex broke up with some of them and some just left on their own. "You should stop drinking now. I'll find out who sent these pictures"Kevin said. ***** Avi looked at the time,it was already midnight and Clara wasn't back yet. She decided to give her a call. Clara had finished taking her shower and was submitting a review on her phone when Avi's call came in. She picked it up and cried, "Clara, what's wrong?,why are you crying"Avi asked. "I've been kidnapped,Avi"Clara said and walked to the window. "What do

"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. "I'm Rose"She said as she walked closer to Clara. Clara gave her a warm smile which made her feel

She pulled on the oversized sweater he’d given her — it hung off one shoulder and smelled like cedar and soap — then padded barefoot out into the small living room. There he was. Alex Banks stood in the tiny kitchen, shirtless, barefoot, hair messy from sleep. He was holding a frying pan awkwardly with one hand and a spatula with the other, staring down at the eggs with the concentration of a man preparing for open-heart surgery. Clara leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, trying not to smile. “Is that... smoke?” He glanced back, startled. Then—smirk. “No. It’s... enthusiasm. Escaping.” “Uh-huh,” she said, walking over. “You’re burning them.” “I like them with a little character.” “Charcoal isn’t a character trait, Alex.” He looked sheepish as she took the spatula from him and gently nudged him aside. “You’re impossible,” she murmured, cracking another egg into the pan with practiced ease. Alex leaned against the counter beside her, watching her in silence. His gaze was

The morning sunlight spilled softly across the floor of Alex Banks’ penthouse, washing the cream-colored walls in gold. Clara stirred beneath the sheets, momentarily forgetting where she was until the faint scent of cedarwood and crisp linen wrapped around her like a memory. The bed was too large, the silence too still, and then she turned her head and saw him. Alex was leaning against the doorway, shirtless, holding two steaming mugs of coffee. His eyes caught hers and something unspoken passed between them — not the usual tension, not the guarded glances they used to exchange, but something new. Softer. Real. "You like your coffee with too much sugar," he said, walking toward her. She smiled, sitting up, pulling the sheets tighter around her. "And you like yours bitter. Like your soul." He handed her the mug, chuckling. "Careful, Clara. I might start thinking you like waking up here." Clara's fingers wrapped around the mug, and her eyes didn’t leave his. "Maybe I do." --- Day

Westford – The Crossfire The garden house was abandoned. Dilapidated. Clara stepped cautiously through the broken gate, her breath fogging in the cold air. “Jeremy?” she called. “Are you here?” Silence. Then—a whisper of movement behind her. A figure stepped from the shadows. Not Jeremy. Maya Stark. “Well,” Maya said with a slow, venomous smile. “Aren’t you just the easiest bait I’ve ever used?” Clara froze. “You don’t need to do this,” she said. “Whatever you want from Alex—” “Oh, I don’t want anything from Alex,” Maya hissed. “I want him to break. I want him to burn.” “And you think hurting me will do that?” Maya’s smile turned cruel. “I know it will.” A sharp click echoed—the safety of a gun released. Clara backed up slowly, hands trembling. “You won’t get away with this.” “I already have.” But just as Maya raised the weapon—another shot rang out. Glass shattered. A blur of motion. Kevin. He tackled Maya from behind, sending the gun skittering across the floor.

He picked up the fork slowly, then froze. “Why are you doing this?” “Because if you’re serious about making things right, then maybe it has to start small,” Clara said, her voice low. “No more big gestures. No more goddamn power plays. Just dinner. Just… human things.” Alex’s throat bobbed as he nodded. “Okay.” They ate in silence. But the silence wasn’t cold now. It was something else. Something uncertain, delicate, and new. --- Three Days Later Clara found herself waking up in her room with the door slightly ajar. Not locked. Not shut tight. A quiet invitation. And for the third night in a row, she had fallen asleep thinking of the way Alex had spoken—not like a man trying to win, but like someone who finally realized he’d already lost something precious. She walked into the kitchen the next morning to find breakfast waiting. A note beside it read: > “I’ll be out handling security. Kevin’s still investigating. Don’t go anywhere alone, please. —A.” The gesture was simple. B

The rain hadn’t let up for days. It tapped relentlessly against the windows of the penthouse, as if mimicking the disquiet inside Clara’s chest. She stood by the glass, arms wrapped around her waist, watching the world blur behind wet glass. Behind her, the soft rustle of footsteps made her tense, but she didn’t turn around. Alex was there. She didn’t need to see him to know. “I made coffee,” he said quietly. “Figured you hadn’t had any.” His voice was hoarse—like he hadn’t used it in days. Maybe he hadn’t. Since the explosion of everything—Quinn’s betrayal, Maya’s near-kill, the video, Jeremy, the sleepless nights that followed—there had been nothing but silence between them. A cold, aching distance filled with too many unspoken things. Clara didn’t respond. She stared at her reflection instead—ghostly, tired, and still so unsure. “I know I don’t deserve you,” Alex said behind her. “And I know saying that doesn’t mean anything. But I’ve gone over everything I did… everything I

Clara fumbled for her phone, flicking on the flashlight. Her hands shook uncontrollably. The world spun, nausea rising in her throat. When the power returned three minutes later, the flash drive was gone. So was Maya. But Clara knew one thing for sure: This wasn’t over. It was just beginning. ******** The air in the café was too quiet. Clara stirred her coffee absently, her thoughts elsewhere—on Alex, on his disappearance, on the way her heart still fractured every time she thought about Quinn. She hadn't heard from him since the argument. His silence had morphed from a cold wall into a haunting presence that never left her side. She didn’t notice the woman until the seat across from her creaked. Clara looked up. And froze. Maya Stark. Black gloves, a blood-red coat, and a calm smile that screamed violence behind her eyes. Clara’s breath caught in her throat. “Maya,” she whispered, panic flooding her voice. She looked around, but the café was nearly empty—just a ba

Alex stared at his phone, still ringing with Clara’s name. She wasn’t picking up. Again. He looked up as Kevin entered, grim. “She saw the video,” Kevin said. Alex paled. “How?” “It was emailed to her. From an anonymous account. Maya.” Alex staggered back, fury and guilt colliding in his chest. “I’m going to her,” he said. Kevin blocked his way. “Not now. Maya’s still out there. And you walking into Clara’s life again right now—after she saw that—is going to do more damage than good.” Alex ran a hand through his hair. “Then what the hell do I do?” Kevin’s face was hard. “You fight. You build your case. You destroy Maya. And you earn your way back.” Alex nodded slowly. He would burn down the entire world if it meant keeping Clara safe. ********* Maya sat at a long table in a private room at the back of a luxury hotel. Across from her sat three men in expensive suits—shareholders of Alex’s company. “Mr. Banks is compromised,” Maya said simply. “His personal life is bleed

While Alex reeled from Clara’s retreat, Kevin found what they were missing. Buried in encrypted files, Kevin discovered something explosive: Quinn’s name tied to a wire transfer that funded one of Maya’s shell companies. The woman who claimed to love Alex… had been helping the woman who wanted him dead. Alex stared at the file in silence, rage slowly boiling under his skin. “She played me,” he said through gritted teeth. “She played all of us,” Kevin replied. Alex stood slowly, fists clenched. “It’s time we end this.” ************ Clara sat in Mabel’s dimly lit guest room, knees tucked beneath her, wrapped in a soft gray blanket that did little to ease the cold inside her. The doctors said she had no physical injuries. But she hadn’t slept since the shooting. Her phone was on silent. Dozens of missed calls from Alex. One from her mother. Two from an unknown number. She didn’t answer any. Mabel brought her chamomile tea and sat down beside her. “She almost killed me, Mabel

That hit him harder than she expected. His shoulders tensed, and when he looked back at her, there was a kind of devastation in his eyes she hadn’t seen before. “I’ll go,” he said quietly. “But I’m not giving up.” Clara let him go without another word. When the door closed behind him, she let herself fall apart. --- Next Scene: Kevin’s Suspicion The next day, Kevin sat at his desk in Alex’s office, the stack of paperwork untouched in front of him. The accident replayed in his mind again and again. Brakes severed. Car flipped. Surveillance cameras conveniently disabled. He knew a cover-up when he saw one. Maya Stark. He didn’t have proof—yet. But he could feel her shadow in every corner of this. And if Alex wouldn’t open his eyes, Kevin would find a way to do it for him. He pulled out his private laptop and began decrypting the backup files from the night of the crash. He’d find something. He had to. ************** The evening air was cold, sharper than usual, as Maya S
