They ate silently in a five-star restaurant. When she was satisfied, Clara put down her tableware .This was the perfect time to present her gift, but she was confused about how to give him the gift. Seeing his indifferent attitude and cold face, that little courage immediately faded away , with the thought that he would either laugh at her or even make a comment that would be insulting to her. There by spoiling such a beautiful moment, she wouldn't risk that. She thought that it would be better to give it to him when they got home, even if he were to make some unnecessary comments she would be the only one to hear it. Unfortunately, she ended up going home alone. He sent a driver to pick her up since he needed to attend to some work. She wanted to explain to him about what happened at the piano shop. She somehow had this feeling, that he would misunderstand , then he would end up taking it out on her tonight as he did before. His heart was so cold she couldn't believe that an
Clara looked down at the hand holding hers, puzzled. At such an embarrassing moment, shouldn't he let her leave this place? Not wanting to embarrass him, she looked up at him, her eyes screaming the words " let me go " As expected, he turned deaf ears to her unspoken pleas. Gently, he placed his arms around her shoulders , pulling her closer , he turned around, now facing Johnson and his daughter , with his clear and magnetic voice, he carefully announced word for word. "Not sorry for disappointing you , but your conclusion is very wrong; she is my lawfully wedded wife. " BOOM!His words came out like a boom to their audience but they started recalling that eventful night . President Rey had actually gotten married and some of them were fortunate enough to witness it . The Groom had appeared with a picture of a dead little girl. The media even went crazy about it back then , but the news only stayed for two hours before it was taken down. No media platform dares bring it up, aga
Clara tried very hard to blend with the people around her, but the socialite always walked out or gave off the attitude that she was not needed around them, feeling lonely and unwanted. Her fighting spirit was reduced to nothing . Feeling dejected, she glanced at the direction Tony was just going and caught sight of him passing information to his cold boss. She smiled at the sight of her husband. He had protected her well tonight, so she didn't want to cause him more trouble tonight, so it was time to go. She clearly doesn't belong to such a gathering. With this she quietly searched for her uncle with her eyes. She saw him chatting happily with Mr Johnson and his daughter. Not wanting to disturb him, she raised her hand and gave him a signal. Luckily, he saw her, but due to the distance between them, he couldn't grab what she was saying and he just waved her off. Furious, she left, determined to go without him. but a beautiful lady with a friendly smile stopped her. Since her sta
Seeing how out of place she was around everyone, Clara decides it's best to leave.She looked at the place where her uncle was merrily chatting with some business associate before leaving the premises.Unfortunately for her, this estate was also one of the segregated areas where rich people live, so she had to walk down the main exit before she would be able to get a taxi to take her home,so she was the only one walking on this lonely and dark street. The guests were probably still enjoying the party. If not, she would be hoping for a lift. As the night got colder, Clara walked to the intersection of the Villa alone and lonely, holding her exquisite bag tightly and hugging herself, she walked slowly in the cold night.. Half down the sloppy hill, she felt very uncomfortable. She looked around her, seeing that there was no one around. She bent down and took off her high heels. When her delicate foot touched the floor, the cold entered her foot up to her body. She heaved a heavy sig
" Clara, are you busy ? Can you join me for a drink? " The next morning, her uncle called her, since Xavier was already out. She informed Ma'am Leah instead. Incase he got back before she did. picked up her bag , she hurriedly left the estate , earlier on the she felt that something was off, with the way her uncle was speaking.In a private room, inside one of the most expensive Mexican restaurants in the country , Clara met Ryan drinking alone. She could tell he didn't touch any of the food in front of him , on seeing her walking towards him,he stood up and forced a small smile with his hands wide open, asking for a hug." Clara dear, come give uncle a big hug , " he said drunkly. Clara was so surprised. She had never seen this man like this before. Her uncle was one of the most responsible men she had ever come across, he cared so much about the family reputation. What could he be going through for him to end up like this? Clara helped him sit, before sitting opposite him. "Look de
"It's okay,calm down" Alex said, holding her hands and trying to comfort her.She slowly calmed down. Seeing her hand being held by another man, Clara quickly withdrew her hand." Oh, am sorry about that " Alex politely apologized, seeing how uncomfortable his touch made her feel. He took a few steps away from her before proceeding with the results analysis. "You are having such hallucinations because of your mental state. Here, take this back with you. Make sure to put it on when going to bed, so that you won't see things you don't want to see and don't think too much. Just relax yourself and have a good sleep" he said, handing her an eye mask.With the eye mask in her hands, Clara remained still on the chair. That's right. Why didn't she think about it all this while? With an eye mask she won't be able to see that picture even if she doesn't get any sleep." Thank you " she thanked him sincerely. Looking at the file in his hand, she asked "Do I... "" Nothing is actually wrong with
He buried her in such a public cemetery because he knew how much she hated being alone. Today no one can't wait to come keep her company. How could he bear to disappoint her? He walked very hard on that day. The Davis and everything that belongs to them were supposed to go down today but everything got destroyed because of the stupid woman in his house. How could she do this to him? How?The black car, once again, disappeared into the rain, leaving behind a black umbrella covering the tomb.****It was raining heavily outside, but fear wouldn't allow Clara to stay indoors doing anything, so she ran to the abandoned greenhouse to tend the flowers.She was doing this absentmindedly. The white lilacs were all growing very fast. She had gone to buy the flower seeds the first day she discovered this place. She cleared the not too big garden which was covered with weeds as a result of it being abandoned for a long time. It's about two months now , her lilacs and other flowers are now beaut
" Who allowed you in here" ? With a wave of his hand another flower pot came clashing down. These flower pots were all precious and well known. Among them are ancient ones, especially for some Chinese royals during the Qing dynasty. Blue glazed porcelain, dark_red enameled pots were all a masterpiece, but now they were brought to nothing just because she touched them."I'm sorry , I saw the greenhouse was overgrown with weeds, so I thought it was abandoned. I decided to make use of it, since I had nothing else to do, I bought some seeding and planted them " Clara's voice was trembling so badly that she could make sense of what she was saying, but she didn't stop either.His first question was actually why she was here , not about the swapped documents.Now she understood why Mrs Leah had that expression on, earlier , upon discovering she was renovating this place. It happened that it was also another forbidden part of the house ." Who allowed you to do things your own way, in my h
" 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
