“Huh.” Clara’s face had many expressions on it. The way her eye twitched showed she was incredible.

“It’s a joke baby. Does it hurt?” Alex soothed her, bringing his head lower to confirm her reply.

“Yes, it does,” Clara replied shyly. She couldn’t look at him In the face discussing that, so she looked away.

“I know it does, baby, I am sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize, Alex.”

“Yeahhhhh.” He gulped, “I will take you in.”

They had been outside for such a long time that they didn’t even realize it was so cold. Alex carried Clara like a baby.

The household workers had all gone to bed, yet they were alert, cos they knew it was weird to Sleep when their boss was still awake.

Immediately they heard a noise, they woke up. They would have to lock the doors after Alex.

It was when they got to the bedroom that Alex noticed his phone. There were way too many notifications. Calls and messages, including the message from Andrew.

He was too tired to check them all out tonight, so he decided to d

    The next morning, Alex woke up first. He knew his phone had lots of calls and messages coming, so he needed to check them.The calls from the company, the officer who called him, Andrew who sent a document, and a whole lot of notifications.Not knowing which was more important, Alex decided to go through what Andrew had sent to him.Andrew didn’t know much about Jane and Alex’s relationship. It contained the address of where Jane was living and the phone conversation he overheard when he was investigating her.“By the time I exposed young master Alex, he would be a disgrace to the Peters,”Immediately Alex read that fear gripped him. He looked at Clara who was still fast asleep. Should he wake her now and tell her?Or better still, tell his parents!No! He would silence Jane. No one would pressure him to do what he doesn’t and he would only open up on his own accord.Alex proceeded to call the officer. He didn’t know why they were calling him again. He was not done dealing with the g

    The more Clara explained to Henry. The more it ached his heart. It was obvious from his silence, but he didn’t give up.“What do you mean? Remember the past, Clara.” When Henry was still trying to say some more words, Alex snatched the phone from Clara. “Look here. Mr. Brown or whatever you are. This would be the last time you would be communicating with my wife.” Alex warned. Alex wanted to end the call when Henry began to say something. So he listened to what he was saying.“Alex Peters. I let you all this while because I thought I was guilty. But now that I have the evidence, I will claim what is mine.”“Why not let her make the choice.” Alex retaliated.“Then don’t force her to stop talking to me. The only thing I need is time. I will convince Clara to fall in love with me.”The way Henry was so confident annoyed the hell out of Alex. He can’t believe that it was him that Henry spoke to this way.What gave him the guts to? He gave him the benefit of thought thinking he wanted goo

    The kiss went on and on. Both were just moaning in pleasure.“You are driving me Crazy, Sweet.” Alex slid his head to the left and said. A sign that he can’t just get this woman out of his head.Clara was very happy that he was calm now. That was what she wanted from the start. “Let me prepare for work. I will have Andrew get you a new phone, okay?”It didn’t impresse Clara so much. Maybe because it wasn’t her priority. But who was she to reject it?“About the laptop, I will have to get it from Henry,” Clara pointed out. Since Selene and Elizabeth are out, she doesn’t need to be caught.“Also, don’t get this angry again. It scares me and it makes me scared of you.” Alex thought for a while before nodding. “Andrew would take you to get the laptop and take you to your family house as well,” Alex said.Clara knew it wasn’t him protecting her, it was him being jealous of Henry. But she didn’t say anything and Alex took it for a yes.Alex went inside and had his shower. Aside from going t

    Jane couldn’t get over every single word that Alex said to her. He didn’t just reject her, he called her a loser and pathetic.What was so special about Clara that he kept fighting for her? She was very sure Clara didn’t know this, so how sure was he that Clara would still stay after finding out?While Jane was still lying on the floor, she began sobbing for real this time.While she sobbed, she began asking for forgiveness. “Alex, I’m sorry, please forgive me, I shouldn’t have left you then, I know better now.”The more she spoke, the more she cried. “The person who should be scared isn’t you but me. I have a secret also. I can’t hurt you, Alex, my words are empty threats. I still love you, I will always love you.”Jane rolled from one side of the floor to another end. “You called me pathetic, I am really pathetic.”Alex stood by the window looking at her. After slamming the door, he didn’t leave, he waited to see what her reaction would be.He heard everything Jane had just said, the

    Clara didn’t say anything throughout the ride. She wondered if Andrew was going to give Alex details of everything that happened and also tell him how Henry confessed love again.“Andrew.”“Yes, ma.”“Don’t tell Alex what happened here.”“Of course not ma, I didn’t see anything.” He replied.Not like Clara was hiding anything, she wouldn’t just want Alex to start pondering or believe Henry was still following her around.When Henry says that he is leaving, She doesn’t understand what that means, but she doesn’t care either. He should do whatever he likes.They arrived at the Roberts mansion. It was a few minutes after Mr. Roberts and his family arrived that she came in.She had no idea what would be her fate, or what to do if caught. But she would give it a try.“Andrew, please look after this, I will come get it later.” She instructed and Andrew nodded.Several times, she fisted her hand to knock but would withdraw. Then later, she made up her mind and decided to knock anyway.It was

    “Nothing,” Clara reacted amidst the fear and all she fronted.“Really? Nothing? You were choking and excused yourself. How did you end up in my room?”The last time Clara came. She remembered that everywhere was dusty. However, Mr. Roberts promised to have some people work on it and clean it up.Today, everywhere looked neat despite them just coming back. So an idea quickly came to her mind.“Answer me right now.”“Selene, when you guys were away. I come here often and also tidy your rooms before leaving. The last time I came, I lost my jewelry.”“That's what I came back to look for today. Yet, I don’t want anybody to know about it. I can’t seem to find it anyway.” Clara lied.She felt bad lying, but she couldn't help it. Thank goodness she had placed it well before Selene spoke.Selene seemed to be convinced of her story. The house really looked neat and tired. Calculating their duration, there were meant to be cobwebs already”“Just leave,” Selene urged and Clara walked by her side a

    When Annie disconnected, Elizabeth looked at Selene. She could notice her daughter not having regard for her anymore.Her daughter used to see her as a demigod and smart. But with the way she replied to Annie and how she answered, Elizabeth could see Selene not believing in her anymore.“Does Annie want us to lure Clara to the house?” Selene asked her mother.“Yes.”“Leave it, I will do it,” Selene replied. She seemed so confident that Elizabeth didn’t question how she was going to do it.With the attitude Selene displayed, no one could dare question whatever she decided to do.“Mum, I will need my space now,” Selene said, calling back her mum to reality and making her leave the room.When Alex came back from work, quite early. He met Clara asleep. A lot must have happened, and she must be exhausted.Though he told her they would be having dinner, he didn’t mention to her that this dinner would take place in his parent's house.But whatever, he hopes she doesn’t react unusually.Clara

    Mr. Peter did less of the talking, but he always did some kind gestures like pouring a glass of water and adding more proteins to everyone’s plate.Alex’s mind was cleared of all doubt, and to Clara, this was an ideal happy family.Then Clara decided to make a move that she thought would make them love her more.“Mum.” Clara raised her hands, trying to feed her some fish.Does she really think this is real? Mrs. Peters asked herself but had no other option than to option her mouth. Clara did the same for Mr. Peters. Then she was about to do the same for Alex when Alex took some portion instead and insisted on feeding her.“Ah, Alex I was going to give you first.”“Sweet, you are the baby. Let me give you first okay?” “Ah no, Mum, Dad, didn’t I give it in this order?” Clara questioned.Before they knew it, Clara and Alex began playing lovey-dovey in their presence.Mr Peters and his wife had to communicate with their eyes how those disgusted them, but Alex and Clara never got to know.

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.

    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

    Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around.

    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.

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.
