Clara was done readying to go meet her parents. She only planned to stay there until Alex called her. He mentioned they were going to go get a ring today so she wouldn’t keep him waiting.She contemplated telling Alex but he might disagree or send someone to watch her. Elizabeth and Selene were now changed. They even helped her back at the supermarket, so she shouldn’t think of her family like that.Clara informed the maids that she was leaving and a few minutes later, she arrived at the family’s house.“Why were they all seated like that? Have they been like this waiting for her?” She asked herself numerous questions as she walked in to greet her father.Truly, they have been like that for a long time. Elizabeth and Selene particularly have been praying that she doesn’t disappoint them.“Dad, how are you?” Clara walked to where her father was. At the seat far from the dining table.“Clara, you are welcome home.” His voice was still normal but Clara didn’t care about that. She went to
Clara felt a bit dizzy and she felt hands all over her. Who could that be? Was Alex here already? Tiredly she responded to him.“Wait a bit, please wait a bit.” She tried to turn to the other position but found out she was pinned by the man holding her. Lucas didn’t want to pay any attention to the young lady. All he needed to do was carry out his job, get paid, and leave.When Clara found out that the man who was trying to overpower her wasn't being nice, she forced her eyes open. Seeing the strange figure, she tried to scream but he quickly covered her mouth making it too difficult for her to let a sound.Scared, it dawned on Clara that she was in trouble.“Please, let me go…” She tried to plead with the young man. Even though he covered her mouth, he could still hear what she tried to communicate.Lucas paid Zero attention to Clara, he started removing her clothes one after the other while making her unable to make a sound.All of Clara’s attempts to push the man weren't successfu
“Mum. Do you think we should check on them?” Selene asked her mother. She was so impatient and she really needed to know how progressive they were.“No. That would only make your father suspect. Lucas would do his job.” Elizabeth replied to Selene.They couldn't hear any screams or sounds which meant that Clara was still under the influence of the drugged food she ate.Selene went into her room and made herself up. She couldn't wait for the final result. She made a video call with a few of her friends telling them how Alex Peters was interested in her.“Really?”“You are so lucky.”“You're gonna be a member of the Peters soon.”“Guys, I gotta go. He’s coming to pick me up soon,” she replied to them. Her ego was fully boosted and that would be her reality soon.Henry Brown arrived at Robert’s residence. He knocked and even though they weren't expecting anyone, they opened the door for him.Selene's face turned pale as she looked at him. Why was he here all of a sudden? Was that bitch i
“Sweet?”“Don’t go, please.”“Sweet I am here, I am not going anywhere okay?”Alex came close and lay beside her. He started patting her back but she didn’t seem satisfied by it.“Can I stay in your arms?” She asked again. Her voice was so babyish like that of a child.Without answering her, Alex pulled Clara so close to his chest. Placing her head on his chest and his arms wrapped around her.He made sure to play with her hair and ear until he couldn’t feel her moving anymore.“Sweet?” He called to make sure she was asleep and when he didn’t hear a sound, he knew she was fast asleep.He made sure to spend about thirty minutes, making sure she went deep into the sleep and after that, he placed her head on the pillow and gave her a peck.Alex left the room to the sitting room. The people involved in this will never go unpunished, he only needed to save Clara first.He had made a single phone call and the whole Roberts family, Lucas, including Henry Brown were seated in his house.“Now
Clara was astounded to find that number of people in their home. Alex never told her they were coming and she just wanted to come down.“Oh no,” Alex shouted the moment he saw her climbing off the stairs. He then rushed and helped her.“The Doctor said you needed rest, why are you awake?”“Sleeping is not the only form of resting,” Clara replied to him. Trying to make him understand that people get tired of sleeping too.Selene had been looking at Clara maliciously. This was every life that she had prayed for and more, and Clara got it on a platter of gold.“Can you continue, Mrs. Elizabeth?” Alex redirected at the person confessing before.Elizabeth had said almost everything needed and she knew that Alex only wanted Clara to hear it all. But right now, she was shameless and without pride. Anything she was doing was to save their fortune. She would fight for this later.After she was done saying everything. Clara’s eyes were watery like she was crying or she wanted to.“And you Lucas
The tension in the room was still high. However, Henry stood and bid everyone farewell.“Ah, CEO Alex, remember I will be in the line waiting.” with his one-sided smirk, he left.After Henry Brown left the building, the Roberts family and Lucas remained. Lucas also left the building leaving only the Roberts family.Mrs. Peters took a second, talking with Elizabeth and Selene. What she said to them was unknown but they agreed with her.The Roberts family also left Alex’s house and now Mrs. Peter saw that as an opportunity to vent her anger.“All these won't be happening if you are with Annie. No one would have dared to plot anything against her.“Mum, please, let's not start this,” Alex replied. He wasn't ready for whatever they were about to do.“Do you think I'm a joke?” Alex’s mum retorted. She badly wants to have this conversation.Even though it was late, Alex stood and grabbed Clara’s hand. “We were meant to get the ring today right? Let’s go. Our wedding is tomorrow.”“What did
Clara couldn’t answer that question. She knew Alex would be disappointed with her. Alex had always begged her to always be on his side.“Fine, I guess you will remain here my dear. There is no alternative. It’s either a yes or a yes.”Mrs. Peters left the moment Clara refused to say a word. Annie was laughing out so loud.“Such a loser, I didn’t know you were also dumb. In the end, the young master will end up with me.”Clara knew it was better to ignore Annie than to react to her words. It was too early to give in to these people. Only when she can’t do anything anymore, would she agree with them.Alex had searched for Clara everywhere, but he didn’t see her. His heart was penetrated and he doesn’t know why they wouldn’t let them be.For the first time, a tear dropped from his eyes but he was quick to wipe it.“He went to the study and checked the CCTV, it was glaring that he knew those who must have taken Clara away.Only the Peters had access to the car, so it was either his fathe
Clara had begun drawing her signature on the paper, but because of the heartbreak and betrayal from Alex, she was a bit sluggish.Then the door of the room was pushed open. All the three darted their eyes to the entrance.Alex how?Upon seeing Alex there, Clara stopped drawing. She has written only a digit out of her five-digit signature.“How did you get here?” Mrs. Peters almost yelled at her son. Now that she was happy that their plan had worked.Alex had Andrew secretly follow Mrs. Peters. He did that not to cause any suspicion. if he had left the house, they would have suspected. The moment Andrew revealed this, he ran off immediately.Alex smirked and started working to where Clara was, she was still frightened. He picked up the paper and looked at it, seeing she hadn't signed it, he tore it into pieces.“How dare you?” Mrs. Peters roared at him.“Clara, let’s go.”Clara was elated. But why did Alex sign it first? She couldn’t place it but was still happy that he came to get her
