He waited patiently for her response but none came, instead she was staring blankly at her now unrecognizable sitting room. Finally her gaze settled at him, but what he saw in those eyes wasn't what he was expecting, who are they for?, did she read meaning to what he just said?, He subconsciously gulped down, anticipating are rejection or even something worse, how did he forget the type of person she is?." Mr Qin , I'm sorry that I have to tell such a lie to Xavier which ended up creating a distance between you two. Please don't take any of my words to heart because this child isn't yours." Earlier she had no choice so she ended up making such a statement, but his words just now, made her realize that if she doesn't clear the air now, Alex will end up being hurt, when he finally found out the truth.With the thought that she was still embarrassed to accept what happened between them , he smiled at her to lighten up the awkward moment. To him what really
Very early in the morning, but no human will be up at such an hour, except like the figure walking down the corridor they also need a drink. Glory was on her way to the kitchen with a little water bottle in her hand.Her journey came to a halt when she saw that the beam of light coming from Xavier's room, curiosity got the best of her and she tiptoed towards the door on getting to the door she gently tapped her knuckle on it.Knock knock." Xavier , Xavier, is everything ok in there?" She called repeatedly but there was no response from him.Xavier, if you're okay in there, just make a sound, your silence is making me worried. " This time her voice sounds panicking, like she will barge into the room in the next minute, but she knows where to draw the line.Although she was very certain nothing would happen between them, if they share the a bed , but Xavier never allowed her into his room since she step foot into this house, sometimes she would put on the facade of being scared and ca
"Alex," Clara throw herself into his arms sobbing," she wants my child gone, she…she wanted to harm my baby.." " ssh!, everything is fine now, look I'm here with you and the baby is fine too, nothing…"she was trembling so badly even Alex's gentle assuring words couldn't be of help. " What would have become of us if you hadn't shown up.. " she so much hope what happened was a nightmare, but knew this was no fucking nightmares.She could tell because this time she fought with all her might but she was just too weak because of how traumatic she was when she realized she was in a hospital bed instead of the bed in Alex's guest room, worst of all a male doctor was asking her to get ready for an abortion." It's okay now Clara, look everything is fine.? " Alex never stopped whispering these words into her ears as he gently petted her back." Alex,they all want me to abort my child, no one wants it to be brought to life, even its own father!.My baby is innocent yet they want him dead, Al
Her desperate please all fell in deaf ears, her adopters roughly ransacked her bag until they found her phone." How about saving your child's life with twenty million dollars? We want the money deposited into the account we will be sending to you, after that we will proceed with your plan." With a horrific expression Clara listened as one of her kidnappers bargained with whoever was on the other side of the phone, but she could understand one thing, whoever it was was the Masterminder.But who could that be? Adam Davis?That can't be since the child is no longer a threat to him, he could no longer use her baby to get money from Xavier. Not long after, the answers to her questions were presented by the man on the phone." President Rey, your pregnant wife is with us, transfer a sum of fifty million dollars to that account if you want them safe and sound. " The other man commanded, roughly jerking the phone from his partner.' Xavier?! 'Clara found it very difficult to digest this news
Xavier stood at the door watching through the glass, with remorse,he will never be able to forgive himself, she hates him now and he deserves it, he deserves every bit of her hatred. He stood there for sometime before he finally left, with Ezekiel trailing behind him like a lost puppy." Clara, it's okay now,look he's finally gone. " Alex informed Clara who still had her eyes tightly shut. She slowly opened her already exhausted eyes " Alex " she called a hoarse voice, her tears never seemed to end, she was deeply wounded by the person she loved.Alex grabbed her Ice hand " Don't cry Clara,they aren't worth it, you are still young and very healthy so you have to get up and take very good care of your body okay." He was very grateful this didn't affect her health or else he doesn't even dare to imagine what she would have done." And as for those people I will do whatever is in my power to fish them out and make sure they regret hurting you." he promised with a voice full of resentmen
Xavier rolled to the edge of his bed, in an attempt to escape, only for him to close his eyes again and there it was again this time not just one but three of them.
Alex remains quiet for a while before heaving a small Singh. " You are right, I think I should pick up my scalpel again and go back on the right track. " he stole a glance at Clara to see if she had any form of reaction .But she was calm even if she was restless. She made sure her expression doesn't betray her because she doesn't want to wake up the already calm storm . " I should have known this brat would voice out my feelings to someone else." Mrs Qin's voice could be heard even before she kicked the door open taking Clara off her guard, she jumped up and quickly retreated into a corner , wishing that the ground would split open and swallow her or she would somehow become invisible .She was too embarrassed since she was caught red handed this time. Aunty prepared this meal for Alex's quick recovery but she was shamelessly eating it . She proceeded to wapping her lips with the back of her hand ." It's..... it's not like that ma…I.. I.... "She wanted to explain but Alex stepped
She turned cold on getting to the table, she reluctantly placed his order in front of him before saying with a small bow, " sorry for keeping you waiting Mr, please enjoy your tea, I will have a waiter attend to your needs. '' she flashed him a smug smile before turning on her heels , but he grabbed her hand and swiftly pulled her back." Sit down! " he ordered,his voice as authoritative as always.Her eyes narrowed down at his hand on hers as she glared dagger at it before she slowly raised her head to meet his fox like eyes `` let go! '' she hissed. " Don't make me repeat myself . " He retorted coldly, his grip on her hand tightened.Realizing that engaging in an argument with him will take her nowhere , she reluctantly pulled a vacant seat opposite him and sat with a nonchalant expression, which got him pissed off. They sat like that for a while, each of them occupied with his or her own thoughts." I feel very honored having the almighty president Rey grace my little shop, to wha
