Having been forced into his room by the elderly housekeeper Leah, she Sat down on the leather seat inside the big chamber, removing her shoes, probably because she had been in her 10 inch heels. Her legs hurt so badly they were all swollen purple.
Feeling more relaxed after pulling them, she straightened her long slender legs on the couch because of how comfy it was. She fell asleep while on it.
******
After a long day at work, the new groom came back home. And, like a normal day, he moved freely in his room, undressing and dumping them on the couch. It was not until one of the clothes suddenly moved that he stopped.
He looked at the beautiful lady in his room , he recalled that he was now a married man , he had got married to the daughter of his arc enemy .
Looking at her sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but admire her beauty .
'. This must be natural , there's no sign of cosmetic surgery '. Her skin glows like that of a newly born and those small tempting pink lips..
"What am I doing " he asked, snapping out of his daze . His eyes clearly displayed how much hatred he had for her and her family. To him, she is only a tool to get his revenge on the Davis.
He sneared and continued with what he was doing as if she didn't exist.
******
The sound of running water from the bathroom woke Clara up and she immediately stood up, nervously looking at the clothes on top of her. She figured it out , Mr Ice's face. How would she explain what she was doing in his room? Would he be willing to share a room and bed with her ?
She was so teased that she started sweating in the well-conditioned room. To reduce her nervousness, she started passing from one end to another. He clearly didn't like her, that is why the maids kept calling her Miss Davis. He probably didn't inform them about his marriage..
She boomed to the man who had just walked out of the shower with a towel round his waist and another drying his hair.
Xavier stared down at the little lady in front of him with a deep frown-he noticed her heart-shaped face turned red before she bowed her head embarrassed. He walked past her, avoiding another form of contact between them, as if she was some dirty trash that needed to be avoided by all means.
Being the sensitive person she was , Clara couldn't help but feel hurt by his attitude towards her.
" Do you need someone to help you undress before you go take your bath " he asked coldly with a hint of irritation in his voice.
" Hm.. sorry , but I'd like to do that in my room, I was only waiting for you to show me to my room " she said. She mastered up the courage to say, but that little courage immediately left her when her gentle eyes met his cold piecing ones.
"It's not yet a day and you have forgotten about your status, right ? Then I will be honored to fill you in, Miss. We are now a lawfully wedded couple, which means that you are now my wife and, as a wife, you should share a room with your husband ". He purposely emphasized the last words because of the way she was gripping the aim of her skirt.
Seeing how scared she was , made him happy and satisfied.
" Now to the bathroom " he ordered and she quickly replied like a puppet..
" Ye..... yes Sir" she said, chocking on her words, he hurriedly took out her night dress and towel and ran into the bathroom, making sure the door was properly shut before she let out the air she was holding in.
How will she spend the rest of her life with such a person. Would her uncle and Aunt be right? She wouldn't blame them for choosing her instead of their daughter and would also do the same thing for her..
*****
After some time, the bathroom door opened and she walked out with her hair wet. She robotically walked towards the dressing room trying not to disturb the man who was on the phone.
After some time, she came out ready for bed but he seemed to have other plans for her.
" Come here!" He ordered.
She walked towards him, conscious not to get him angry. He pulled her close to him, very close. Testingly, he asked
"Do you like any guy? "
That question was so sudden that her face turned red with embarrassment and at the same time anger .
Isn't he too much ? Not only did he not see her as his wife, he also didn't have any form of respect for her. The sudden touch on her breast startled her so that she jumped out of his lap.
" Pervert !! " She wanted to scream at him, but she dared not . After all, they are now married.
" Still not answering my questions" he asked, pulling her back to his lap.
" No, I don't " she answered honestly..
He smiled but this time it was filled with ridicule at 22, who would believe she was a vagin .
She looked away from him out of embarrassment.
Because of this , her eyes fell on the picture by her side of the bed. That same girl , she slowly looked around them and, to her surprise, the picture was the wallpaper on every corner of the room.
That night became the worst night of her life. She couldn't sleep ,it was as if the little girl was staring into her heart , as if that wasn't enough. The tournament continued the next morning...
" Miss Davis the doctor is here " one of the maids informed her. She couldn't sleep last night and today he called a psychologist to check up on her.
Hearing that a psychologist was out there waiting for her , it got her surprised beyond words. How did this person know about her past ? The darkest day of her life, the day that had become a nightmare for her, but her family had already destroyed all traces of that incident.
'Just how powerful is this person?, To casually dig up information that Davis was buried a long time ago'
_________
For the past few days, she has been with doctor Smith and others doctors who commented that she was fine for now, but her condition could be triggered in the future if she was mentally stressed.
This wasn't new to her any more. A lot of doctors have said the same thing but since then she has been fine.
He is just like her heartless Grandpa. After her parents died, she lost every reason to live. Seeing other children her age, she noticed that she was really different that was when it all started .
Her little self back then pleaded with her grandfather not to send her to the mental hospital , but no one took pity on the eight-year-old girl. She stayed there along side those mentally ill patients for a good three years .
It was not until the old man finally died.. before her 3rd uncle, who took over the family head position, brought her back home.
But since then , she could no longer live like other kids, since all the children in school all knew about that incident.
Growing up was tough for her and now, when she's beginning to move on with her life, he went and dug up her past.
Tears dropped freely from her face, she lost her appetite and ran into the bedroom...
The maids could only looked on with pity in their eyes...
After three days, everything went back to normal. She still slept with him in the same bed but he never made a move on her and she was happy with that because both of them were just familiar strangers to each other.
But even this little happiness was also cut short by him.
SHE knows very well, when he enters the room at night, when he wakes up , when he gets dressed for work , before the sun can even rise. She does not take note of all his actions because she's concerned like other wives will towards their husbands , she only afraid , yes, afraid of her husband and not just him even the pictures around the house especially the one on the bedside table. They all give her sleepless nights. This house is creepy, like those haunted houses. But that morning she had given in to reality when she woke up and saw him coldly looking at her with eyes filled with hatred and disgust. She came to the conclusion that he didn't like her and never would. Even the maids here are all cold towards her, just like back home, and now they see her as an abnormal person thanks to her husband. She felt very bored here, at least back home. She had her piano with her and a beautiful garden to distract her .Then an idea came into her head; visiting her parents' home. At lea
She unconsciously lowered her head. After her eyes met his cold ones." I was only helping you change your wallet."She answered gently. "Was the one who brought the new wallet here ? " His voice became even more cold.." I saw your new wallet being delivered while I was on my way to the room,so I thought I should bring it up to you"she quickly explained to herself, her voice softened as she spoke with fear written over her face." So, not only did you act on your own accord, you are being presumptuous, Xavier snorted before picking up his phone and dialing a number, "Do you know what you did wrong Tony? " He demanded." I had someone else carry out my duty. I'll accept any punishment , my Lord, please punish me. Tony's voice came from the phone speaker ,loud enough for Clara to hear.She could hear everything that was being said. Feeling guilty, she squeezed her dress with her cold hand.. Would he have been spared if she hadn't told the truth just now ..Xavier gazed coldly at
Now, it's just the two of them left in the large hall. Maybe because the air conditioner was too high , the hall became so chilling, just too chilling that she felt herself shivering. Slowly he stretched out his hand, lifting her palm_sized face, he said with a soft but hoarse voice " you can , but you will have to exchange it with something special, how about that? " Call her stupid, but right now she's enjoying the warmth his hands are offering to her skin, but when what he said fully registered inside her head.Clara turned Pale ." w_ what ?" ' how can this person not only be shameless but very perverted , oh,no , not that look in his eyes , am not ready for this, oo ' her own voice was screaming loudly in her head.His well- proportioned fingers were busy caressing her lips, ignoring her uneasiness.She trembled right under his touch, fear boldly written all over her small face."Has any man touched you hare? " He asked seductively, pressing her right breast with the fabric of
Holy sh*t what's the madam doing here and that? Good for nothing. Stanley Reynold must be tired of living.." Boss, I will take care of this" he volunteered, but before he could take a step a cold voice stopped him." No need to see Mr Johnson off. " With this, Xavier went after those idiots. Manager Joe, who saw everything, also ran after him..Tony stood there for a while, puzzled that the boss was going to take care of something personally. For the past 10 years he had known this man. This was the first time something like this had happened.' mmmm I smell death.'After seeing him off he went after his boss.In the meantime, her stay in the room was hell. The Idiots were all laughing at her misfortune, and the leader was forcing her to drink from his cup, but she kept struggling with him until he asked two of her followers to hold her down. She became helpless in their mist." So pretty, since you don't want to play, I will just go straight into doing it. After that my men will al
"STOP!!!" He ordered, pulling a chair to sit. He crossed his legs, taking out a cigarette, he lighted it. While he was relaxing doing this, the people in the room with him were all trembling , their fate was in the hands of this guy. Would so no-one dares to make a sound, if a pin were to drop right now everyone present would hear the sound.. " COME HERE!!!" He ordered with an arrogant voice without lifting his head or pointing at a particular person. The people were all puzzled, wondering who he was referring to..Seeing this, Clara started playing with the hem of her dress subconsciously as she took slow steps towards him, not daring to look at him directly."Come here!" he repeated, but this time his voice sounded angry, seeing that Stanley ran forward ."Yes Brother " he had to be polite this time he have been caught in the act..Standing right in front of him and Clara sitting beside him, he threw her a look filled with an unspoken warning." Smash it " he said, more like a stat
" The nails on the middle finger and ring finger have fallen off and there is some damage from being crushed, but thankfully the X-ray shows that there was no serious damage incurred."The doctor respectfully reported the results of the X-ray to the man sitting on the couch beside the bed."Will it affect her playing the piano?" Xavier asked with a cold voice, looking at the unconscious woman's pale face. He had never expected someone as quiet and timid to do something so extreme. 'Did I push her too hard?"No Sir, the fingers will soon regain their flexibility as long as she has a good rest" the doctor already had cold sweat on his forehead. The man in front of him is very terrorizing, making him feel very pressured."Umm , the piano cover is well cushioned. If not, her fingers would have been crippled given the amount of force she used."The doctor was shown his way out by Tony and very soon the Ward was left empty apart from the two people inside, one lying motionless while the o
The elevator was almost shut, when a slender hand came from outside and it was opened again. Standing in front of her was a young lady dressed in a hospital gown. She walked in and pressed the closed button in a hurry.However, just when the door was about to be closed again, another big hand stopped it and Clara saw four men dressed in black suits, thinking that they were coming for her. Her heart started racing just how he had found out what she was up to in such a short amount of time. But she was not given time to think, because her body was harshly pushed into the elevator wall and the strange woman pressed herself on her and her lips became hot. She widened her eyes because of the shock, but the person was not even affected as she continued to suck on her bottom lip, feeling disgust, she tried to push her attacker off, but the person tightened her grip, looking at her with pleading eyes. When the men saw this first class X-rated scene , they quickly apologiz
Before entering the car, she looked down and the badly damaged tie clip and was moved by his action at. She subconsciously bent her head, her index finger in her mouth, feeling embarrassed for misjudging him all this time. Taking a deep breath, she muttered a " thank you" Still, the Iced statue sitting beside her heard her , his lips curved into a small smile , slowly he raised his hand to pet her head. But he stopped himself and picked up his laptop instead to continue his work. Through the rearview mirror, Tony witnessed all this. His cold boss had kept surprising him since he married Madam. For the past 11 years he had been working with this guy. This was the first time he had seen him looking at another person like that, except the picture . He was happy and convinced that this person was the only one who could change this cold man and right there and then he vowed to respect her and protect her from his boss. Hearing the sound of typing on the keyboard, she looked up
" Clara" he called again, yet no response, the four babies were still crying. " Don't.. don't call my mummy, you bad a** " little treasure said between snobs, at first he didn't find this Uncle to be a bad person, but why will his aunt that was just fine a moment ago end up in a hospital bed the moment he appeared, now he's calling his Mom by her name, what will become of them if their mommy also ended up like big auntie?.This person must be dangerous since his Mom isn't even replying to him. " Take another step and watch us call the cops on you! "Little cupcake threatened using his small hand to protect his mom and sister by forming a barrel. The young boys look very alarmed but one could see how scared they are. Xavier felt his heart shattered into many pieces, he has indeed failed, what is man if his presence was not even acknowledged by his children.Yes he takes delight in seeing people trembling at his feet but not them, not his own kids, not his family , where will he star
"Why don't I take them to doctor Alex while you go see your doctor?"Lola suggested, since Clara recently complained of some abdominal pain .Clara couldn't be more grateful, she smiled at her, after all her big sister is still the best , she ran into her arms and gave her a tight hug, followed by a kiss ." Lola, you are the best, what would I have done without you by my side." Lola just stood there unable to come up with a better response. " Okay, now that's okay, let go of me now people are watching, it won't be good if these people have a bad idea about us." she whispered this through her teeth, she never likes being in a situation whereby everyone's attention will be on her and this is what Clara's childish behavior was creating .What would those people think seeing two young women with kids hugging and even kissing?. ," Oh sorry!,my bad " Clara apologized feeling awkward, she was too emotional and ended up embarrassing herself, as if she felt glaring eyes around her she turned
Inside the car, Xavier rested his head on the headrest behind him and shut his eyes,as he recalled his conversation with the two rascals he met at the mall." Just like they said , their Mom really has a nice voice ,but not the best I've heard so far. If Clara should go into music again, her voice will be far better than that woman's."Unfortunately he heartlessly shattered that dream of hers, he brought out his phone and smiled at his new wallpaper for the first time after almost four good years he changed his wallpaper . ' she will be surprised if I show this picture to her, this little girl looks just like her , if our baby were to be a girl she would look just like this little girl. ' then he remembered how she called him"daddy" and I sad smile appeared on his face. ' I thought our child would be the first to call me that,Clara, I never knew that I would one day come across such cute little bunnies.' Xavier smiled when he recollected how cute those little brothers were when they
{Love is like thatGives me pain and leavesLove is like thatComes with the wind without a soundCome closer to meWhen loving someoneEverything is similar to himThough it can make me get lostLove is like thatMakes me cry and smileLove me again, even if am scaredI won't run awayEven if it hurts a littleI still love youPlease stand by me and let our love shine bright like the stars.....}**** After performing her second song for tonight, Clara was set to leave, she stepped into her dressing room with her mask still on. "Babe you were really breathe taking this time, just take a look, your audience are still clapping , I really really love your growth babe, that's how life should be, when it throws lemons at your feet pick them up and make a lemonade out of them, you don't let your past pull you down, honey." Lola won't stop chanting until she realizes that the person she was having this conversation with wasn't even responding. " This one you are unusually quiet , hope yo
{. When you, were born There in your mother's womb An angel told me, that you will be A gift of love from her to me When you roll and turn, I be right by your side, when you need me There I will be ,a gift of Love From her to me.}After playing the piano throughout the night, he stood up and walked to the balcony for a smoke, this was a habit he has slowly gotten used to.Sometimes when he has the urge to smoke, he always has this feeling that she's standing in front of him with her hands folded across her chest, glaring at him as if daring him to try smoking in her house.Surprisingly, most of the times he find himself trashing several packs of cigarettes while smiling at the place he saw her image, with the word " alright, you won " written all over his face. But tonight what he felt was different, standing at the balcony, he could see the view from the gate down to the maple tree. Memories of the both of them under that tree was vividly playing in front of hi
On hearing the painful scream coming from the studio, Ms Lola made her way down the stair,"Clara ma'am, Clara ma'am,are you alright?" She questioned as she panicky took two steps at a time, the closer she got to the studio the louder the mournful cry, she kicked the door open only to see Clara using a hand to support her waist and the other hand grab a nearby chair tightly for support." Lola, please call the driver,the baby, my baby is coming, I can feel it down here. " Clara was all sweaty, she has never experienced anything this painful but she knows this is just the tip of an ice block, she's yet to push her baby out. She tried walking to the door but her steps were heavy along with the pain she is now experiencing, her face has turned pale.Lola was inexperienced but that doesn't mean she didn't know what was happening, with trembling hands she punched in a few digits on her phone, calling for help."Hello, get the car prepared, madam is in pain and we need some assistance, pl
That incident made her already popular name became even more popular, from that day onwards, wherever she went with her group of friends,whispers about the incident would follow,it was told in such a way that, students who couldn't make it to school when it happened felt like they didn't miss any part of it." Here comes the queen of all shameless people!" A female student exclaimed, attracting the attention of other students present at the canteen , even though they already know who is coming, they all wanted to watch her walk into the school canteen, and when she does, whispers start flowing from one table to another. " I've actually not seen anyone more shameless than her, she really deserves that title."a blondy concurred."Ladies, have you all heard the latest update on her one sided madness?" At another table a red hair questioned her friends." I don't think I've"" let it out girly, " " What did she do this time?"Her friends couldn't wait to get their hands on this new info
" You should have left Clara out of this, she doesn't even know much about me, not to mention having an idea of what I did in the past, why do you have to drag her into this?,if you must avenge them then do it in the right way and with the right person which is me."Xavier tried talking sense into him with the thought that he is still the little brother who follows him around , but unknown to him the Ezekiel he was once familiar with was only a fake , a role perfectly played by this Mafia boss , a big time drug dealer Ezekiel Weston. "Tsk tsk, this is boring, you are far from being the merciless devil you used to be, I mean look at you now Xavier!, you are no longer the man you used to be, since you got married to that lunat…."" Clara!"Xavier corrected,he has gotten more than enough of Kiel addressing his wife with so much disrespect, even when they are together he keeps addressing her as a lunatic."My bad!, You see that!, this is one of the things I'm trying to point out, from the
Alex was already in the verge of running mad from the moment he read the content of that letter,he still couldn't believe she finally left him. She even wishes to see him happy with someone else if they ever cross paths again, but is that even possible?."Just how am I supposed to be happy, when my source of happiness coldly left my life without a goodbye? , how can I not look for you,my angel m, "He searched, but he couldn't trace her,why did he have to be so unlucky?.Why?!Bang bang bang.The furious bang on his gate drew him back to reality, he immediately got up and ran out.Heading to the gate, irritated by the continues banging on his gate, because he haven't eaten anything since two days now, Alex movement was slow and this got whoever is at his gate more furious because the next bang almost brought down the gate, Alex who is already angry opened the gate ready to give the unfortunate idiot a piece of mind but Immediately he opened the door , he staggered back, almost los
