Clara lifted her face slightly, and Alex moved his head too. He nodded at her meaning he meant every word he said.Clara stayed like she was thinking. How could she possibly sleep with him “Oh.” She covered her mouth. She blamed her mind for thinking dirty.The only way to avoid what was on her mind was not staying with him.“No. I think I have to go.” Clara didn't really dare to tell him No but she just had to.“It’s okay. I shouldn't have asked that.”“Mmm.”“Good night.”“Good night.”Immediately Clara shut the door, leaned on the door, and breathed out heavily. She has not ever been this tense before. She shouldn't have said no to him. She should have agreed. She expected Alex to further it also.But to think of it, Alex was sweet. He was possessive and acted like he wanted her with him all the time. She put her finger in her mouth and found herself smiling.Clara tapped her cheeks to remind herself to stop thinking about that, but again, she remembered how he wrapped his both arm

Clara was indoors. She had no idea of what transpired between her stepmom and Alex. She was not even aware that they had come.She was ready to go to the hospital and visit her Mum like she told Alex.On getting to the hospital, her mother’s condition seemed to have improved. Even though she had still not deposited money, she seemed to be improving so well.“Doctor, I only want to thank you for being patient and still taking care of my mum. I will make sure to start the payment as soon as possible.“Miss Clara, it's only our duty and you don't need to thank me especially.”Clara offered a smile. She was sitting on the hospital bed close to her mum and holding her hands.She will never let anything happen to her mother. Elizabeth and Selene would frustrate her if that happened. They already did, but it will worsen if something happens to her mother.Hopefully, if Alex resolves all the matters going on in his office as he said, they will have a proper discussion.She had been holding her

“Henry Brown,” Clara mumbled slowly. Her words made the two guys who wanted to fight look at her. Alex was confused and Henry was also confused. Henry didn’t seem to recall who she was. Her face was familiar but he found it so hard to recall who exactly she was. Seeing the two guys looking at her, Clara felt so nervous. She buried her face on Alex’s chest. Why was Henry Brown looking at her that way? His expressions were indifferent. Does he still loathe her a lot? Was he surprised to see her? Or was he just not happy? Alex was more confused at the face Clara buried in his chest. He could suspect something was going on, the confused expression on Henry’s face too. “Hey, why are you hiding, you act suspicious?” Henry finally said. He tried to tap his hands on Clara’s back so he could see her face but Alex stopped him. “Don’t you dare!” Alex held Henry’s hands. “Hey, what’s wrong with you two? Why is she hiding? She called my name. Hey, how do you know me?” Henry tried to vent b

After Clara sent that message, she had a little regret. She wished she could delete the message but that wasn’t possible as it was already late.She glanced at her phone at intervals. What was he doing? What is he going to reply to her?Clara waited for his reply and when she didn’t get one, she decided to just get done with her normal activities.Alex was going through a rough day at work so it would be nice of her to surprise him by shopping for a few things with the money Alex gave her even though she didn’t want to take it.Prepared, she told the maids that she would be out for some time and that they should take care of the house.Selene and Elizabeth have been coming up with a plan, while Selene looked for ways to make Clara fall prey, Elizabeth was looking for every means to bring the evidence like Alex told her.“Mum, everything in this house is empty. Let’s just go shopping, only then can we be relaxed and come up with something.”Mr. Roberts was always excluded from their co

Clara was stunned at how Elizabeth came to her rescue.She was initially shy about what to say. Everyone was gone aside from Elizabeth and Selene and the two friends.Was she going to thank Elizabeth for saving her first? Or was she going to acknowledge the young man's apology?In between her thoughts, the man spoke up again.“Hey, I know you are thinking, but believe me, I wasn't that serious,” he said. Clara looked at him and rolled her eyes. His friend, who was the person she bumped into initially, grinned and nodded for her to accept him.“It’s alright.” Clara rolled her eyes again. She then looked at Elizabeth and Selene.It was the best thing they had done for her in a while, Elizabeth acknowledging she was her daughter in public, she wasn't used to calling her mum but maybe she should just do it.“Thank you, Mum, Selene, thanks.” she winked at Selene.She doesn't even know what to do next. Should she continue her shopping? Or wait for someone to break the silence. The guys wer

Clara looked at him with perplexity. Why was he mean and sounded so profound? Also, if he was aware she was at the supermarket, why was he asking?“Yeah.. I wanted to get a few things but it didn't work out anymore.”“Okay,” Alex responded. The feeling of jealousy and mistrust was already all over him but he needed to control himself.Clara knew that all was not well but she was not able to figure out what it was.Before Alex came back, she had this eagerness to tell him everything that happened. But now that he is here, the zeal isn't there any longer. “How did it go at the office?” She finally asked, Alex mentioned that he had a lot of work to do.“Great,” Alex answered back, not even having a glance at her.Clara didn't know if she was overthinking but Alex was behaving unlike himself.Alex on his end didn't know how to go about everything. Is there nothing else she wants to tell me? If I didn't ask her about the supermarket, she wouldn't even tell me.“I got dinner.” Clara broke t

Clara knows her way around the office. It wasn't a very big company anyway. She would only move through that conference room to know if they were having a meeting.Unfortunately, no one was there, as she contemplated going back to the place she was asked to sit or keep walking around, she then bumped into someone.“Mr. Henry Brown?”Henry Brown appeared indifferent.“And?”Clara quickly recalled that she was meant to appear so formal.“I’m Clara Roberts and I am here for the interview by noon.”“Oh, come with me,” Henry replied coldly.Clara didn't know what the problem was, Henry was acting weird and she couldn't just point out what the problem was.Clara followed him into his office. He was going to interview her by himself. But she didn't even apply for a job before the message was sent so why does he act like he doesn't know what he was doing?“Why do you think you are fit for this job?” Henry began interviewing her.Clara didn't know how to respond. She had done it before, and ev

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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
