Clara stood motionless looking at Mrs. Peters. If it was before, Alex would have defended her but right now, there was no such thing.“Ma, I do not love Alex for money.” Clara tried to defend herself, at least, to save her dignity.“Did I hear you say Love? There is no such thing as Love Clara. I am trying to say you married him for money and not love him for money. You were never in love with him.”Trying to mince words to Mrs. Peters was something that wasn't going to yield to anything so Clara didn't bother anymore.“How much do you need?” Alex asked her.Clara looked around. How could Alex be asking her for the amount in front of Mrs. Peters? It was a huge sum and mentioning it here would make everything she said be true.But she didn't have a choice. He was looking at her curiously. He wasn't even figuring out anything like that and she was the only one thinking it through.So sharply, she calculated all it would cost her to settle the credit union and also Elizabeth. A hundred a

Early hours of the morning. Clara didn't admit the fact that Alex or his mother or Annie was in the house. All she wanted to do was to go and settle her debts.She had called Elizabeth and given her the money in secret. She also met with a representative of Annie and paid the fifty million they claimed her mum was owing.How foolish of her not to ask for any evidence, no signing of documents, nothing at all to show that Mrs. Roberts actually owed them money, but she went ahead to pay.But she was not to be blamed, the pressure of having to pay the sum Elizabeth required and bury her mum made her not critically analyze or understand anything anymore.Elizabeth and Selene were rejoicing after getting the money. “Mum, this would be enough for us to shop the whole week,” Selene said merrily.“I will get skincare products and more designer clothes and bags. Young master Alex would find me very attractive from now onwards.” Elizabeth smiled. “You have to take it easy, my daughter. Go and c

“If you saw it indeed, why do you want me to release this woman then?” Mrs. Peters furiously asked, Alex was still holding her wrist and she couldn't do anything about it.“I don't think Clara did this,” Alex spoke.Alex looked at Clara steadily for five seconds and darted to his mum. More like he studied her reaction. “I am certain Clara didn't do this,” he added again.“Young master Alex!” Annie uttered “Alex!” Mrs. Peters called.“Have you been bewitched again, how could you say that, Alex?”Alex left his mum’s wrist. He faced Clara. “Did you post this?” He asked, signaling everyone to focus on her reply.“I didn't post anything. I don't even know what everyone is talking about.”Alex looked at his mum. “Mum, did you hear that?”“Even an armed robber doesn't accept that he or she is a thief so how could you judge by what she says?”Alex didn't know how else to justify for Clara so he just took him with her.“Come with me.” He said and began dragging her away.When they got outsid

Clara began to tap on her screen multiple times and robbed her eyes but the apology was really there, she wasn't seeing things.She phoned Sophia back immediately and she confirmed that the person had posted an apology.She didn't know if that was good or bad news. What if the Peters family finally gets convinced that she is the one and that she has taken it down to post an apology?She decided to go look for Alex in his room. “See, the person has taken the post down and apologized. Do you see this?”“Yes, I did.” Alex’s reply was cold. When they posted the negative news, everyone wanted to crucify her, now that is being rectified, they all acted nonchalantly.“Have you seen Annie?” Clara asked and Alex told her that he hadn't.She wondered where she was and left the room to look for her.Alex smiled to himself. It must have felt good to see Clara happy again, but he didn't show it.The fact that Andrew hacked into the account and posted an apology doesn't mean that those pictures did

Elizabeth's eyes darted to the package with the young man. Could the package be for Clara?“Can you disclose why are looking for her?” She asked.“Our organization has a package for her. Do you know who this person is?” The man asked, the way that Elizabeth acted was as if she knew something about her.Elizabeth looked at the package once more. What organization could have a package for Clara? She asked herself.The man was also with a photograph so he wouldn't be able to give the package to anyone who wasn't in the picture on it.Selene ran over to them. “Mum, who is this man looking for? Clara?”The look Elizabeth gave to Selene made her keep quiet. So Elizabeth asked the delivery young man. “Can we receive this in place of her? I am her step-mum and this is her sister.” Elizabeth said.On a normal day, Elizabeth would deny Clara and claim not to know her but now that it seemed beneficial, she accepted to be her stepmother.“Unfortunately, the policies of the organization have that

“Elizabeth, what are you trying to do?” Clara asked, trying to protect the packaged items. She didn't know the items were but she must protect it with all of her.“You shift out of the way or you would rather get injured,” Elizabeth advised her but Clara was still protective of it.Then Selene came out chanting. “Mum, is the logistics man here yet?” and then saw the duo struggling for the package.The question made Clara realize that it wasn't a coincidence as they both knew she was receiving something.Yet, whether by coincidence or not, she would let anyone tamper with items her mum saved for her. She had browsed about the company long before and all she could say was that she wouldn't let them take this from her.Mrs. Roberts must have a reason for wanting it for her daughter.Selene then walked further and pushed Clara behind which made Clara stagger further a bit.“Mum, do you have any idea of what will be in here?” Selene asked, as most of the items were wrapped and they couldn'

Elizabeth realized she wasn’t meant to say that loud. Alex was still looking, “what agreement?” He asked again.“Family agreement. We agreed that family issues should remain with the family.” Selene shouted from behind, knowing that her mum was short of words.“That doesn’t matter much since I’m family too. What do you think, mother-in-law?” Alex asked.It was the first time that Alex was referring to Elizabeth as mother-in-law and he only did that to prove a point.Elizabeth was also wordless. To her, Alex calling her mother-in-law means that he still has the intention of keeping Clara as his wife. Which she didn’t like.After some stillness, Alex had to order Elizabeth to give back every single item to Clara. “But Young master, my mum…”“You dare not say a word!” He replied to Selene who dared to interrupt him.After Elizabeth and Clara packed the items to hand them over to Clara, Alex left with Clara.In the car, the driver was driving towards the house. “Are you not going to th

Annie didn’t even care to be sure of her thoughts or wait for a response before deciding to broadcast.During the period that Clara and Alex were in the room, Annie hurriedly picked up her bags to go to Mr. Peters's house.She met Mr & Mrs Peters as expected. “Mum, Dad, guess what? Alex and Clara are finalizing the divorce.”“How sure are you about this?” Mr. Peters requested.“Dad, I am very sure. Alex left work and came back home with Clara today.” Annie narrated, they waited for her to continue as that wasn’t enough reason but that was the only thing she gotta say.As much as Mr & Mrs Peters doesn’t find her explanation to justify the fact that Alex was divorcing Clara, it could be credible because she was living with them. So they accepted the news.After that, Mr. Peter decided that he was going to begin planning for Annie’s wedding. Her parents would be invited in due time since they were out of the country.“Contact all the top personalities in regards to event planning.” He or

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. The wedding was strictly on invitation.The wedding was already flying around the whole city. How CEO Alex canceled a wedding yesterday and is having another day.Elizabeth also ma

As Alex stepped out, he began to call Clara’s line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. 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 decided to see who it was.“Alex?” Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. 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. He was fine, he had been okay. Could it be that Clara never cheated?It was his baby! He got Clara pregnant. It was his Child. Clara never betrayed him. Why didn't it occur to him to run a test all along?He couldn't concentrate and drive well. Where would he start from? How was he going to apologize? Where would he even find Clara?But he knows the first step to take, which was to stop whatever marriage between him and Jane.While driving, Alex got out his result and stared at it one more time, this time he increased his acceleration.Jane’s parents were worried, yet they tried to be there for their daughter.After hearing that Jane was getting married to Alex, a relationship that failed years back for some unknown reason, which also contributed to their relocation, they took the nearest flight to New York.“Cal

It’s been three days since Clara started staying with Sophia. Life has been a bit fair.Sophia treated her so well that she was beginning to forget all she had been through. She paid zero attention to Alex and Jane’s wedding also.For someone who had just lost her baby, it was safe to say that Sophia was a wonderful friend.Mr. Roberts has been trying to contact his daughter too. When he heard about the wedding ceremony between Alex and Jane, he was shocked.No wonder Alex refused to further the case of his wife, what must have happened between him and Clara?So at that moment, he got out his phone and called Clara again. Surprisingly, it rang.“Clara, where have you been? Are you well? What happened” Mr. Roberts asked at the same time.“Dad?” Clara questioned.Clara and her father are seated at a restaurant nearby. Mr. Jackson Roberts could not stop apologizing, telling her how he got Annie arrested and how he had divorced Elizabeth, how he believes his wife must have forgiven him al

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

Mandy had thought about everything she wanted to carry out. Watching Clara take all the glory makes her sick.At first, she genuinely wanted to get close to Clara and learn some secrets, but now that she has the power to destroy her, she would!“I will be right back,” Mandy sounded off to Clara. It was a less busy day so Mandy just left for the manager's office without Clara knowing why.Having everything planned out, she spent more than thirty minutes explaining things which got the manager hooked.“Are you sure about this?” The manager asked, failing to believe all that was just said about Clara.“Sir, you can find out for yourself if you wish to.” Mandy guaranteed.“You may leave now.”After Mandy left his office, she came back to Clara like nothing had happened.“What took you so long? Did something happen?” Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.“Today is a bit boring.”“Yeah, I guess because the evening just started.”

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. He would listen to anyone speak, and acknowledge any information, but would never say a word unless it was Andrew.When Mrs. Peters and Jane arrived at the office, Jane wanted to stay behind, but Alex’s mum insisted she follow.Unfortunately, Alex’s secretary recognized Jane as the lady Alex warned her never to let in. But seeing her with Mrs. Peters, there was nothing she could do to stop her.She was not even able to notify Alex. Before she coul

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
