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
" I'm sorry Clara, I live to save Lilac,but I'm ready to die with you. " he held her close and mumbled into her ear .{Flash back}Still in the seaside Villa, Clara was wrapped closely in his arms, she could hear his heartbeat, as he made those statements very gentle and close to her ear, it was the first time she saw him showing his emotions since she married him" That child I will live to save her , I owe her that, but I won't take a second thought if I've to die with you ." She was yet to register those words in her mind when he pushed her away coldly as if that scene never happened. His eyes were cold as always, Clara couldn't bear to look into them. " This place is yours now, I have changed everything." He bent down and started picking up the papers that were scattered around the room. " Thank you " she mumbled as she collected the now arranged file from him , since he's giving her the house as a goodbye gift she no longer has a reason to make things diffic
On coming out of the rest room, Clara ran into Anna who just walked out of Ryan's office with a flushed face. The lady was busy adjusting her messy clothes to notice the heavily pregnant woman behind who was already cooking up mischievous comments inside her head. " Hmm!, I think working for my uncle must be a difficult task," Clara's voice got her startled and she quickly too a step back with a wry smile while trying to avoid eye contact with her, but Clara found her actions to be cute and she took delight in teasing her after all she has been sitting idol all day long, taking a step closer with a thoughtful look on her face she continued, " he must have been very harsh on you dear , seeing how red your face has become, poor thing, now you can't even lift your head and look me straight in the eyes, that's not good of him!, So sorry dear, you see if I weren't pressed earlier I would have saved you from his harsh words, but I just had to visit the restroom at that time. " Clara was ha
IDifferent thoughts were running inside Judith's head, as she kept stealing a scrutinizing gaze at the man who had a cynical smirk on his handsome face." Judith," he called dry" Yes boss!" She replied almost immediately, pushing her thoughts aside." Do you know how long SOON is? " Xavier asked, ignoring the silly look on his assistant face." Yes boss, be less assured, I will surely give you an answer, latest in a month's time, trust me." She has no idea how soon he wants it but she firmly promised to get back to him in a month's time even though she was fully aware that the possibility of her ac
