So, what brings you here?”“I came to see how well the woman you choose for yourself is treating you.” Alex’s mum replied sarcastically while eyeing Clara.“Then no cause for alarm, Mum. Her treatment is exceptional.”Mrs. Peters could only make a mocking face.“Since you are here, let's all have dinner together.” Alex declared and they headed to the dining.“So, Clara, what do you do now?” Mrs. Peters, who has not had any bite, asked Clara.Clara almost threw out the bite of food in her mouth.

Not like you had a choice!” Mrs. Peters grinned and left the house.She liked dealing with naive people. They would set themselves up without even knowing it.

Without knocking, he twisted the door knob.Behold Clara was lying on the bed, asleep. Disappointed, Alex gently closed the door, he wanted to head back to the office and he vowed to deal with his mum later.“Wait,” Clara said to whoever it was on the door and Alex stopped immediately.She then turned around. “ I didn't know it was you, Alex why are you home?
