The traffic on his way back was something Alex couldn’t just place. There was hardly traffic in the streets except during rainy days, which was not the case right now.It seemed like the universe was playing some sort of game with him. They just wanted to delay him from meeting his wife.Waiting patiently in the slow moving line, Alex eventually got home.It was just about a few minutes past seven at night. He carried the bouquet and headed inside. He would explain, profess his love, and even ask her to go out on a date with him that night.Unfortunately, Clara was in her room asleep. After Henry had told her to wait on Alex, she waited for him since closing time and he wasn’t back.Does he not feel anything? Wouldn’t he come explain to her? She misses him so much and at this point, she wants him home and doesn't care if she was the one to apologise.But as each hour passed, Clara realised that Henry had only lied to her, Alex didn’t care and wasn’t coming home.She ate dinner alone,
Alex drove down to a bar close to his home. He had wanted to call a friend, but having a second thought, he decided to be alone.After all, friends might poison his mind and he might end up having a change of mind.The bartender had been standing there for a while, trying to get Alex’s attention. But Alex was too lost in thoughts.“Sir, what should we get for you?” The man said again.This time, Alex was done thinking, so he looked at the bartender.“Tequila.” He replied.The bartender who wondered what could be wrong with him, decided to drop a few words“Whatever the problem is, drink and forget your spirits. You can’t go wrong with a drink.”After saying that, he opened the bottle for him. Alex gave him a satisfying glare without a word.One could say he concurs with what the man had just said.So he began drinking, all through this while, he had been looking at his phone.A miracle might happen and Clara might text him. Maybe she had woken up and seen the flower, and also probabl
In his drunken state, Alex staggered towards the room. He pushed the door open but Clara was deep asleep.The sound of the door didn’t dare wake her up. Because he couldn’t find balance, he placed his hands on the wall and traced her to the bed.“Sweet, tonight, I will clear all your doubts.”Though he was drunk, Alex remembered placing the flowers on the bed before leaving. But right now, it was neatly kept in the cushion.It wasn’t possible that it rolled or fell to that place. Then he knew he must have woken up when he was away. Had she forgiven him? How did she feel? Did she perhaps look for him or was she indifferent?So he tapped her gently, “sweet, I am home.”Before Clara slept off, she had wished she forgave him. She looked for him and wished she opened her eyes when he was here.So with that level of awareness, she was conscious in her sleep.Immediately she felt Alex’s presence, she jumped up and hugged him tightly.“You promised to choose me, you said you love and this is
Alex grabbed Clara’s breast immediately. It was more like he had been waiting for this moment.Clara had still wanted to say a word when Alex grabbed her. She didn’t expect the action. But she didn’t push him away.What does he want to do? Was he okay? Doesn’t he know the rules of the contract? She had never seen him this aggressive.It was then she perceived his breath. She didn’t notice it all these while. Alcohol? Was he drunk?“Alex, did you drink so much?” She asked innocently.But the thing was that was the wrong time to ask a question. Maybe Alex can’t even hear her, or maybe he was ignoring her.Whatever the situation was, he didn’t respond.“Alex, you are drunk.” She mumbled again.This time, it wasn’t a question. It was a statement. But Alex hadn’t let go of her yet, he was busy caressing and fondling her boobs.Clara’s moth wanted to let out those little moans. But she couldn’t let herself get distracted.Now that she knows Alex wasn’t himself. She wouldn’t let them make a
“Gosh, Alex.” Clara screamed. She didn’t know when that just came out of her lips. She had never had this feeling before.Painful yet sweet. “How does it feel, Sweet?” Alex asked, he could see her expressions and how she moved her waist.She grabbed the sheets so tight. Seeing she needed something to hold, Alex offered her his hand, which she held onto so tight.“Do you like it?” He asked again, but she answered before he could finish.“I love it.”“I will take it easy with you baby.” Alex replied. Clara had just told him he enjoyed it, but he was aware as the first time, she might be experiencing pains.Being the dominator, Alex began moving in and out slowly, slowly, slowly.He was moving in ones previously, then he proceeded to move in twos. Clara couldn’t help but continue screaming. It was midnight, so Alex just put his fingers inside her mouth to make her scream less.She was so sweet he couldn’t deny it. Everyone thinks of him as the normal cold player. But what many didn’t k
The next morning, the sheets were tangled, two humans were laying apart from each other. One on one edge of the bed, the other on the opposite side.Then one of them opened their eyes. Looking at the clock, it was past ten in the morning.Shit! He was late to work.How didn’t the alarm clock wake him up? Oh, they had slept off in Clara’s room, not his.And his phone? He looked around and found them inside his pockets on the floor. Did he put it on dnd mode? When? How?He had rushed out of the bed to leave the room, when he turned and looked at his wife, he couldn’t help but smile.He had remembered all that happened, how sweet she was, and everything they did.But if he spends time thinking about it, he would be even more late than he imagined.He moved closer and gave her a peck on the cheeks and in the forehead, but Clara was too deep asleep to even notice.After that, Alex left to prepare for work.In the office, everyone seemed to be amazed when Alex entered. He couldn't help but
“Hey, Sweet.” Alex greeted her on his end.“Morning Alex.” Clara responded. She didn’t know why she bit her nails all of a sudden. It was definitely shyness.It was also awkward from Alex’s end. Both of them behave like someone was making them uncomfortable.“I didn’t want to wake you before leaving.” Alex said, not even knowing what to say.“Not like you have ever woken me before leaving.” Clara said. She knew the conversation was just awkward.“Yeah, you are right.”“Uhm, have you had breakfast?”“No, I just woke up.”“That means I was timing correctly. I should win the best husband of the year.” Alex teased her.Then they held the phone to their ear for a while, not saying anything, just smiling.Alex didn’t want the call to end, likewise Clara. He hadn’t realised until now that his wife was a full package.“How about your discussion with Henry?” Alex asked.“I will be goimg to my Dad’s house today.”Then while they were on call. His secretary came to notify him about a meeting.“S
Clara wanted to stand and walk out. She had never the intention of doing this.But she needed to hold on, because of Alex, because of Henry.The people who made her father despite her were no longer around, so she needed to forgive him. “It’s fine, Dad. After all, we are family.”The joy Mr. Roberts had knew no bound, ever since Elizabeth and Selene left, he had been lonely. No one to take care of him, staying in the house alone was hard and boring.Clara didn’t forget the reason she came, it was after her father was done that she began to drink the coffee he brought for her.“So why did you come home all of a sudden?”Clara kept mute, she couldn’t say the real reason she was here, but she found a smart answer immediately.“Mum would be happy I came.”It was the moment she mentioned mum that she had realized how bad her family abandoned her. She doesn’t want to think of the fact that her own father didn’t attend the burial, or the fact that her stepmother hid her mum’s corpse and ext
Alex put a call to Andrew. He told him a wedding was happening today and he should start sending out cards to people. If possible, to all the guests invited yesterday.“Are you sure this would work out, let's do proper planning,” Clara said, afraid it might turn out a flop.“Today is the day and we don't have a dress yet, even Sophie as the maid of honor doesn't.” Clara expressed more worry.“Have you forgotten who your husband is? You don't have to worry. Everything will be ready in minutes. Let’s go home.”Alex managed to convince Clara that it was possible and the three left for Alex’s mansion to get prepared.“There is an important person I would love to invite,” Clara declared in the car.“And who's that?”“My Dad.”Without much questioning, Alex instructed Andrew to send an invite to Mr. Roberts too. The wedding was strictly on invitation.The wedding was already flying around the whole city. How CEO Alex canceled a wedding yesterday and is having another day.Elizabeth also ma
As Alex stepped out, he began to call Clara’s line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.“Clara, your phone has been ringing for a while.” Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Clara’s phone rang again. She decided to see who it was.“Alex?” Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. She tried to wake Clara one more time but she was deep asleep.So the next time the phone rang, Sophia picked it up.“Sweet, you need to forgive me. I will explain in person. Where are you?” Alex asked,
Alex was speeding on the highway. He only needed to get to the location as fast as possible to stop whatever was going on there.His mind was occupied with thoughts of Clara. He was fine, he had been okay. Could it be that Clara never cheated?It was his baby! He got Clara pregnant. It was his Child. Clara never betrayed him. Why didn't it occur to him to run a test all along?He couldn't concentrate and drive well. Where would he start from? How was he going to apologize? Where would he even find Clara?But he knows the first step to take, which was to stop whatever marriage between him and Jane.While driving, Alex got out his result and stared at it one more time, this time he increased his acceleration.Jane’s parents were worried, yet they tried to be there for their daughter.After hearing that Jane was getting married to Alex, a relationship that failed years back for some unknown reason, which also contributed to their relocation, they took the nearest flight to New York.“Cal
It’s been three days since Clara started staying with Sophia. Life has been a bit fair.Sophia treated her so well that she was beginning to forget all she had been through. She paid zero attention to Alex and Jane’s wedding also.For someone who had just lost her baby, it was safe to say that Sophia was a wonderful friend.Mr. Roberts has been trying to contact his daughter too. When he heard about the wedding ceremony between Alex and Jane, he was shocked.No wonder Alex refused to further the case of his wife, what must have happened between him and Clara?So at that moment, he got out his phone and called Clara again. Surprisingly, it rang.“Clara, where have you been? Are you well? What happened” Mr. Roberts asked at the same time.“Dad?” Clara questioned.Clara and her father are seated at a restaurant nearby. Mr. Jackson Roberts could not stop apologizing, telling her how he got Annie arrested and how he had divorced Elizabeth, how he believes his wife must have forgiven him al
Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.“Why did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our family’s image?” Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.“Mrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.” Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.“And what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?”“I’m sorry, mum. It's okay.” Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.“Son, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.”Immediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h
Mandy had thought about everything she wanted to carry out. Watching Clara take all the glory makes her sick.At first, she genuinely wanted to get close to Clara and learn some secrets, but now that she has the power to destroy her, she would!“I will be right back,” Mandy sounded off to Clara. It was a less busy day so Mandy just left for the manager's office without Clara knowing why.Having everything planned out, she spent more than thirty minutes explaining things which got the manager hooked.“Are you sure about this?” The manager asked, failing to believe all that was just said about Clara.“Sir, you can find out for yourself if you wish to.” Mandy guaranteed.“You may leave now.”After Mandy left his office, she came back to Clara like nothing had happened.“What took you so long? Did something happen?” Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.“Today is a bit boring.”“Yeah, I guess because the evening just started.”
Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around. She did the driving while Jane stayed beside her in the passenger's seat.Jane truly wondered what they were going to do and how Alex was going to react to this. “I'm sorry, Alex. I had to do this for us.” Jane prayed silently in her heart.They arrived at Alex’s mansion and learned that he wasn't at home but at work. Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew. He would listen to anyone speak, and acknowledge any information, but would never say a word unless it was Andrew.When Mrs. Peters and Jane arrived at the office, Jane wanted to stay behind, but Alex’s mum insisted she follow.Unfortunately, Alex’s secretary recognized Jane as the lady Alex warned her never to let in. But seeing her with Mrs. Peters, there was nothing she could do to stop her.She was not even able to notify Alex. Before she coul
Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her. Alex was her son and her emotions were justified.“I order you to begin to speak now! What is wrong with my son? Tell me all you know right now!” she roared and that truly scared Jane.Her desperation has put her in a tight corner. But No matter how long they hid it, Mrs. Peters is Alex’s mum and eventually, she would find out one day.“Speak Jane!” The order came again.Now, Since Jane was shooting her shot also. She would come off as emotional and also behave in all those traits they thought she never had.“Mum, I and Alex had gone our separate ways then, but the truth was that I couldn’t move on. We were so tender to make the right choice and proffer solutions.” Jane began off.Mrs. Peters was losing patience, this wasn’t
After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didn’t let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasn’t her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.“Ok, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.” Jane replied.“Expecting you soon,” Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didn’t hate Jane, but she didn’t love her so much either. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
