Andrew nodded and got up. He felt a little anxious.
The lawyer followed the police officer out with Andrew following behind.
They sat at the defendant's table.
Andrew looked towards the benches and saw his father sitting in the front row. He gave Andrew an evil smile but Andrew ignored him.
He looked around the room to look for someone who was on his side but saw no one. He still believed that Clara would somehow find a way to save him.
“Just remember what we discussed Mr. Bloom and everything will be fine.” His lawyer said flipping through the papers he was looking at.
When it was time the Judge came into the courtroom.
“All rise. The court is now in session.” The Bailiff announced.
Everyone got up and silence fell in the room. The courtroom doors close as the judge sits in his seat. He tells everyone to sit down.

She slowly opened her eyes and winced as her head hurt a little. “You’re awake. How do you feel?” Andrew asked looking at her. “My head hurts.” She told him slowly. She looked around and saw that she was in a hospital room. “Let me call the doctor.” Andrew said and went out. Soon he came in with a doctor and a nurse. The doctor checked her pulse etc. “How do you feel Miss Rose?” the doctor asked. “My head hurts a little.” She told him. “Give her a painkiller.” The doctor told the nurse. The nurse nodded and went to get the painkillers. “Well, there isn’t anything serious. You just have a small concussion on your head. You’ll be fine if you rest for a few days. If you feel anything else tell me about it.” the doctor told her. She nodded. The doctor left. She tried to get up. Andrew helped her. “What happened?” she asked him. “You know, I can’t tell if you’re just bo

Andrew came out of the bathroom in his bathrobe, drying his hair with a towel. He threw the towel over his shoulder and picked up his phone from the desk.He saw that he had ten missed calls from Clara and six messages from her.He opened the texts.‘Hey, Andrew thanks for the food. Why did you leave though?’'You bought so much for me. How am I supposed to eat it alone?’‘Andrew are you busy?’‘Did you eat?’'Andrew?’'Call me when you see my messages.’He put it back on the desk and laid on his bed.“Why do you even texted me? Text your man.” He said feeling annoyed.Then he suddenly sat up straight realizing something.“Wait. I am her man. She’s my fiancé.”“But she has her eye on someone else.”“No, no, no. Even if we are engaged because of a contract she is still my woman. I

Andrew cried for a while and when he was done crying he went to the bathroom. He didn’t notice that Clara had also quietly cried with him because he couldn’t look her in the eye. She wiped her tears away when he left and tried to calm herself down. Her heart was sad for Andrew. He had suffered so much pain and had been suppressing his feelings for a long time. She couldn’t imagine how much pain he was in. She took her phone and called Leo. “Hey. What’s up? Do you need something?” he asked picking up. “Leo can you do me a favor?” she asked. “Anything. Just say it.” He told her. She told him what she was planning. “Okay. But why so suddenly?” he asked. “No questions. Will you do it?” she asked. “Sure it’s not something hard. Jasmin will be very happy to hear this.” “If you need anything just tell Angel and thanks, Leo.” “No worries Clay.” He said. She hung up. A few minutes later An

The next two days neither of them called each other. They both felt uneasy and didn’t know what to say if they even called. It was the third day when Andrew finally found an excuse for calling her. Brandon gave him a speeding ticket. “I forgot to give it to you.” He told him. He looked and the ticket confused. “But I was in court that day.” He told him. “Miss Rose drove it.” Andrew nodded and waved his hand dismissing him. He smiled cunningly and took a picture of it with his phone and sent it to her. ‘You got me a ticket.’ He texted her. ‘I speeded to save you, you ungrateful man.' She texted him back with an annoyed emoji. Andrew smiled. 'Me? Ungrateful?' She sent him a picture of her with the bandages around her head. ‘I got hurt because of you.’ She texted him. He called her. “You ran after danger yourself.” He told her as soon as she picked up.

Clara came back in with Andrew and everyone pretended that they didn't see what they just saw. Camellia walked up to Andrew and looked at him with her arms crossed like she was upset with him. “What?” he asked looking at the seven-year-old. “Do you like my aunt?” she asked. “Now Cam, don’t disturb our guest.” Jasmin said holding her daughter. “I don’t like him, mom.” Camellia said. “Camellia! That is a very bad thing to say” Jasmin reprimanded. “It’s okay Mrs. Rose.” Andrew said. “I’m truly sorry Andrew. We spoiled her too much. And call me Jasmin.” She said with a smile. “Hey, Coco you got two packages. I’ve put them in your room.” Leo told her. “Who was it from?” Clara asked. “Don’t know. It didn’t have a return address.” She nodded. “Come on I’ll give you the tour of my house.” She said. He nodded and walked with her upstairs. She took him to her room first so s

The next morning Clara woke up and found herself in her bed nicely tugged in. She thought that Leo was the one who carried her to bed. She got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up and change, then she went downstairs. She saw everyone was having breakfast. “Good morning, Aunt Clay.” Camellia said rushing towards her and gave her a hug. “Good morning, Cam.” She said and patted her head. 'She looks much happier now that Andrew’s not here.’ She said to herself and smiled as she sat down on the chair. “Did you have a good night's sleep princess?” Leo asked with a teasing tone. “Yes. Why?” she asked a little irritated. “Nothing.” He said with a smile. It didn't felt like nothing to her. Jasmin gave her toast and eggs with coffee for breakfast. “So when did Andrew leave?” she asked casually as she sipped her coffee. “Oh, he left after putting you to bed.” Angelina told her. She choked on her coffe

The car was almost about to hit her when she was suddenly pushed away by someone. They both fell to the ground. The car quickly speeded away and disappeared. “Are you okay?” the person asked. She looked around and saw that it was Drake who had just saved her. She nodded at him. He helped her up and examined her closely. “Did you get hurt?” he asked her with a worried look. “No, I’m fine. Thank you, Drake.” “Your welcome. It would’ve been a terrible accident if I didn’t save you.” He said looking relieved. “I checked before I crossed the street but that car came out of nowhere. My mind went blank when I saw that car coming towards me.” She explained. “You don’t have to explain to me. Some people drive like crazy. That idiot must’ve been drunk.” "What about you are you hurt?" She asked. "No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. You here with Andrew?" He asked. "How did you know?" She asked

Clara's eyes closed tightly, involuntary at the loud bang. She waited for the bullet to take her life but it never came. She opened her eyes to see what had happened and the next thing surprised her. The bullet never went through the window but instead, it had left a really small dent on the window of the car. The man quickly tried to open the door but Andrew was faster. He locked all the doors with the press of a button. He started the car and drove it in the backward direction as fast as he could. The man started to empty all the bullets at them but luckily all the bullets repelled the car. Andrew pushed the accelerator and drove away with speed. Clara was so shocked but she managed to recover quickly and wore her seat belts. “Thank God the car was bulletproof.” Clara said in a low voice. Andrew had slowed down a little when they were far enough but he didn’t stop. “Where are we going?” she asked him. “To the police s

“I thought that you were going to tell me if something happens to her.” Leo complained. He had just come in with breakfast and found out that Clara had woken up. He was so relieved and happy to see her smiling. He hugged and scowled her too for getting herself in danger and then looked at Andrew annoyed that he didn’t tell him that’s she’s awake. “She woke up a few minutes ago. Plus I wanted to spend some time alone with her. And nothing happened to her.” Andrew said. “Okay, okay. Don’t start a fight.” She said laughing a little at the two. “We’re not fighting.” The two said at the same time. She smiled and shook her head at the two of them. “Hey, I love you both and I want you guys to get along too. Andrew.” She looked at him. “Yes?” “I wish that you would get along with Leo.” “Okay love but you wasted your wish and you have one left. So be careful about your last one.” Andrew reminded her. “Wish?” Leo

Andrew and Leo went back to the hospital Clara was admitted at. Leo went inside her room while Andrew sent the voice recording to the detective. After that, he also went inside the room. Clara was still lying unconscious on the bed. Andrew sat beside her on a stool and held her hand. Jasmin looked at him sadly. She tugged on Leo’s shirt. Leo looked at her. She moved closer to him and whispered something. Leo nodded. “Andrew, do you mind staying here with her? We need to go and check on our girl.” Andrew nodded without looking back. “I need to go to the office too. It must be hectic there.” Angelina said. “I’ll call if something happens.” Andrew said as he looked at Clara. Everyone left the room. It was quiet and the only sound was coming from the heart monitor. Andrew held the back of her hand to his cheek and looked at her. “Wake up please, Clara.” He whispered and kissed the back of her hand. A

Andrew and Leo were stopped in front of Drake’s room by the policemen and Jake. “Jake I need to speak with him.” Andrew said in his dominating tone. Jake felt a little small in front of him. “Fine, you can go, but he can’t.” Jake said and pointed at Leo. “My sister’s on her death bed and I can’t even confront the killer who put her there?” Leo asked, his voice full of fury. “I am terribly sorry about that but if you two fight with him then you two will get in trouble too and make the matter even worse.” Jake told them, “What Drake did is unforgivable but I don’t want you guys to turn out like him. This is exactly what he wants Andrew.” Jake looked at his brother desperately. Andrew took a deep breath. “Fine. But I still want to have a talk with him.” He said. Jake nodded at Andrew. “But only you.” Jake stressed. “Bu-“ Andrew put a hand on Leo's shoulder and stopped him from finishing his

The doctors quickly took her to the surgery room when they reached the hospital. Andrew and the rest of her family were waiting out. Andrew was sitting on the ground cover in Clara’s blood. When he bought her to the hospital the doctor told him that she had lost too much blood and because of that, he was extremely terrified of something happening to Clara. Leo was sitting on the chair with Jasmin beside him. She was trying to comfort him. Angelina was standing in a corner and glaring at Andrew. She was angry with him because she thought that he was the cause of all this mess, but she said nothing about it. After a few long hours of waiting the doctor came out. Everyone gathered around him. “Is she going to be alright?” Andrew asked desperately. “She has been stabilized, but we would need to watch her condition. But if she doesn’t wake up then I’m afraid that she might never wake up.” The doctor broke it down to them. Andrew collapsed o

Andrew called Clara again when he got home, but she again didn’t pick. It was pretty late so he thought that she might have gone to sleep. He changed his clothes and went to bed. He couldn’t sleep the entire night because he was restless and he had no idea why. He finally managed to fall asleep at 4 AM and woke up at 6 AM. He took a shower and changed his clothes and then again called Clara but her phone was off. He got worried. He took his car keys and drove to her house. He rang the doorbell a little urgently. Her housemaid came out and greeted him and let him in. “Who is the idiot who’s ringing the bell-like a manic?” Angelina said coming from behind she stopped when she saw Andrew, “Oh it’s this idiot. What are you doing here?” she asked coming towards him. The housemaid left when she was no longer needed. “Where’s Clara?” he asked urgently. “What?” she looked at him surprised, “Hasn’t she been with you since yesterday?” “N

Andrew was being questioned by the detectives as they were investigating his father’s murder. Jake came running in as the detectives went back into David’s room. “What happened?” Jake asked Andrew. “Can’t you see?” Andrew gestured to their father’s room, “Someone killed the old man.” Jake fell down on the chair in shock and grief. Even though Andrew hated his father to the core he felt a pinch of pain in his heart. “How did this happen? He was fine when I left.” Jake said. “Life is unpredictable. Do you know where Drake is? I’ve been trying to reach him but his phone is off.” “I don’t know he just said he was going to hang around with a friend.” Andrew sighed sharply with a frown and call Drake’s number again. His phone was still off. “It’s very strange. He called me a few minutes ago but now his phone is off.” Andrew said. “He called? And you answered?” Jake asked surprised. “Yeah… why?” “You ne

Clara went home after talking with Andrew but now had to deal with Angelina. “You spend the night out again.” Angelina said, this time disapprovingly. “I am a grown woman. Stop treating me like a kid.” Clara said irritated. “Then don’t come crying if he leaves you again.” Angelina said annoyed. “Don’t judge a relationship if you don’t know anything about it. And stop talking to me like you are my parents. I already have enough on my mind.” “Fine!” Angelina snapped. “Fine!” she snapped back and went to her room. Angelina was just jealous of Clara that Andrew and she were back together but she and her ex were finished. She thought that it was unfair to her that Clara always had it easy. The two didn’t talk with each other the whole week. They were both angry with each other and Clara was always on edge because of the additional stress and work. She would sometimes go out with Andrew and would occasionally get annoyed at h

Clara woke up when she heard Andrew mumble and struggle. She looked at him and saw that he was having a nightmare. She sat up quickly and tried to wake him holding the blanket over her chest. “Andrew, wake up.” She shook him. He was still having a nightmare. He had a painful expression and had cold sweat on his forehead. “Andrew, wake up!” She said louder and shook him harder. His eyes flew open as he woke up from the terrible nightmare. He looked at Clara breathing heavily. He then got up and hugged her. He was frightened by what he saw. “Hey, it’s okay it was just a nightmare.” She hugged him back and comforted him. “Don’t leave me. Don’t go away.” He told her, hugging her even tighter. “I’m not going anywhere. Shhh.” She patted his back. After a while when he calmed down he leaned back and looked at her. “Are you feeling better?” she asked caressing his cheek and looking at his eyes. “I’m still afraid

Andrew didn’t believe him. He grabbed his collar angrily. “Brandon I will fire you if you are lying to me!” Andrew raised his voice at him. “I’m not lying Mr. Bloom. It’s all over the news.” Andrew released him and went inside. He turned on the TV. Andrew’s heart sank as he saw the news. Brandon wasn’t lying. The plane that Clara was supposed to be on exploded as soon as it took off. “No, no, no. This can’t be happening. I can’t lose you too. No Clara please.” He said as tears fell down his face. He ran to his room and picked up his phone. “Please, please don’t be on that plane please.” He said as he dialed her number. Her number couldn’t be reached. He tried again and again but the result was the same. “NOO!” He yelled and threw away his phone hard on the ground. It broke into pieces. “No, no.” he cried as he slowly sat down on the floor. “You can’t be dead. You can't leave me like my mother did
