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.
Disturbed Annie was losing patience and losing her mind.She was going to threaten Elizabeth to throw her back into that cell if she didn’t lure Clara like she wanted.Annie doesn’t really care about anyone. The only person she cares about is herself and making herself the next Mrs. Peters.“Do you have her now?” Annie asked after Elizabeth picked up.“Ms. Cooper, you saw the news. Alex and Clara spent the night in the Peters mansion. It wasn’t possible to get her, however, I’m working on making her come soon.”The fact that Elizabeth mentioned this angered her, and she hung up. She had been doing things on her own, so if they delayed her, she would make moves on her own, no matter who was involved.“Selene, we do not have time. You said you would make Clara come here right?” Elizabeth said to her daughter.“Yes, I will.” Even the way Selene spoke to Elizabeth was odd and mannerless. But there wasn’t much Elizabeth could do.When Jackson said Selene needed therapy, she dismissed him. B
“I owe you a lot, thank you so much. You just saved my life.” Annie continued to feign so that the maid wouldn’t suspect anything.“I like you so much and I wish to be like you.”The innocent maid showered Annie with praise.Annie had to add some extra bundles to the one she gave her previously, this was to prove to her that she would do more.The naive maid was happy, and this was why Annie used her. Back then when she stayed in Alex’s mansion, the maid admired her expensive way of living and saw Clara as old-fashioned.To cut the long convo short, they exchanged contact. Annie would be calling her and keeping in touch to see how well she was dealing with the whole thing. When the maid came inside, the chef noticed some cryptic movements from her and questioned her.“You left the building for a long time, did something happen? Did you go to buy something?”“Mind your business!” The other maid replied and went into her luggage to keep the bundle notes she got from Annie.Whenever the
Immediately Alex got an answer from Clara. He walked away.Does she take me for a joke now? How could this woman look at me and lie to my face? Does she think all these are fun or what?Alex could not just concentrate in his bedroom. He saw it. The message and the call, so why did she deny it? Or answer like it was not a big deal.It would have been better if she said nothing than to accept or deny it. There was no way Henry could send stuff out of the blues if Clara wasn’t leading him on.Alex concluded by giving Clara the silent treatment. He would just leave her to do her thing until she decided to open up.Last time, they decided to always trust themselves and never doubt themselves, but Clara was making it very hard for him. However, he still gave her the benefit of the doubt.That night, they didn’t eat together. Alex ate first, ignoring and waiting for Clara to come around, while Clara ate much later when she was hungry.She made it easier for the maid to put the content again i
