Alex Peters ignored what Clara had just told him. The driver had matched the break forcefully because of Clara’s reply to Alex, but he was quick to apologize to his boss.

Clara felt a little regret uttering the last statement. It was truly how she felt but she didn't know why the man kept bothering her. They already made a mistake by having a one-night stand and he should just get over it.

They arrived at a flower garden and stopped the car. Alex and Clara came down having a nice view of the place as they walked like every other person there.

Clara followed Alex reluctantly and they hadn't said a word to each other. But Alex was walking side by side with her like they were couples.

Suddenly, Alex received a phone call. It seemed urgent and he urged Clara to wait while he quickly addressed the matter.

“I will have the driver drive me to the office for some clarification. Please, don't go anywhere, I will be back in twenty minutes.” he urged her and before Clara could say anything,

    At the airport, a young beautiful lady was seen standing. She was dressed in a jumpsuit and a red heart with sunglasses. She looked more like a model and she spoke with an accent. “Mum, is he not going to be the one to pick me? I saw the driver you sent here.” Mrs. Peters at the other end tried to explain to Annie Cooper that Alex was busy at the office. “You don’t have to worry about that, Alex as the CEO is quite busy but he’s got more surprises for you.” “OK, Mum. Got it.” Annie replied and hung up. She pouted her lips, flung her hair, and matched to the spot where the driver was waiting for her. Mrs. Peters had just lied to Annie Cooper. Even though Alex didn’t plan anything, she knew that with time, she would be able to convince him and until then, Annie would be staying in the five-star hotel. Alex gazed at Clara for a while, she was still asleep. Due to their exhaustion the previous day, they weren’t able to talk about the condition and now he was off to work. “Wooo,” Cla

    Clara was startled by the scream of Mrs. Peters. She didn't expect her and she also didn't know when they came in. “Good morning Ma.” She greeted politely to show some respect but the old lady was going to find fault. “What did you just do? Greet me? Do you think that will change the fact that my son brought a prostitute to his home?” Clara tucked her lips to the insults Mrs. Peters laid on her. She didn't dare to open her mouth and speak while the Lady still spoke. Annie Cooper rushed to where Mrs. Peters was standing. She had been looking at the glass design on the wall but because of the way Mrs. Peters spoke, she wanted to know what was happening. She had just finished examining Clara and turned to Mrs. Peters and asked her. “Mum, who is she? I was thinking the servants should have a room close to the kitchen or outside.” “Mum, is she the head of the maids? She must be really annoying and that is why you are yelling at her.” “Did Mr. Alex pick her up from the streets? I hear

    Alex immediately came down from the car and went after Clara.He held her wrist the way he normally does but she pulled it away instantly.“What’s the problem? See I'm home, I told I was going to work only half of the day and I'm back. We could talk about what you always wanted us to.”Clara acted so reluctantly. They were still under the rain and because of her, Alex was now drenched.“Let’s get into the car.” Alex said again and tried to hold her but Clara pulled her hand yet again.This lady is just so stubborn, even if she's mad can't we just get out of the rain. Alex said inwardly, he already shivered a bit because of the cold.“Mr. Alex, I don't think this marriage thing is possible. Your wife-to-be is already inside, she’s pretty and she has an accent too.” Clara clarified to him, she had wanted to add that she has a bad character but that wasn't in her place to say. It is left for Alex to figure that out.But a part of her was waiting for Alex to tell her all those things didn'

    Annie couldn’t stand the insult she had just received so she ordered a cabbie and left. All this while, she had been trying Mrs. Peters's number but it wasn’t going through.Shortly after Annie left, Alex received a call. You could tell that the call was from his mother. After a few banter words with the person at the end of the call, he returned to Clara.“Are you okay?” Clara asked, noticing the worry on his face but Alex assured her that he was good.“I would love you to accompany me to a family dinner.” He uttered.Clara gave him a dismissive look immediately. Why would he ask her to accompany him to a family dinner? Family that doesn’t like her. Does he have a death wish for her?“See Clara, I just want to make myself straightforward with them so they can leave us alone. You asked if I was okay, I just finished talking with Mum. She wants everyone to have dinner at the family house tomorrow and I’m taking you with me.”“Are you sure about this Mr. Alex? Don’t you think that will g

    Clara, Selene, and Elizabeth turned to the direction the voice came from, to their surprise, it was Alex walking towards them.Clara never thought that Alex could come looking for her. It was probably a coincidence, he was just passing by.Same with Selene and Elizabeth. “Mum, Did Young Master Alex come looking for her?” Selene asked with a wrinkled face. Almost spoke with her teeth so Alex wouldn't hear her.“No way, there was no way he came looking for this bitch.” Elizabeth replied to her daughter the same she asked.Alex walked closer, exhibiting the same aura that he carried wherever he went. Clara could feel it, from his eyes, it wasn't a coincidence, he really came looking for her.When he got close to her, he put a jacket on her shoulders. “ You might catch a cold”Clara was speechless. She did not know how to react, especially in front of her step-mum and step-sister. Alex saw the look on her face and noticed that something must have been wrong before he came.Alex then turned

    Clara circled her eyes to make sure that those people were not carried away by what Annie had just told them, but no, she was right, they were! Who wouldn’t get carried away when Annie spoke with an accent and when she looked like a model or a celebrity? “Not at all” Clara let out as they came forward to her. “We need to search you. This lady here clearly said you are a thief and even though we won’t be selling to you anymore, we are afraid you must have stolen something from here.” The store attendant explained. Just right away, the manager who had been indoors the whole time came out. “What’s happening here?” She asked. She looked at Annie Cooper and Clara Roberts while waiting for an answer and of course, she already knew who was at fault and who was a high-class citizen. “Madam, what is the problem?” The manager finally directed the question at Clara. Clara couldn’t believe that there were many here but she was the one chosen to answer the question. Obviously, she has been

Alex and Clara left the police station to the store where Clara went to purchase the jewelry. Clara was mute and just kept looking at Alex. “Do I look scary?” Alex asked her, does Clara think he's blind and can't see her? “Not that,” Clara replied, chuckling. “Thank you for always saving me. Should I start calling you my Saviour?” she asked him, still chuckling. Alex immediately waved off that. “No no no. Don't call me that. You can call me other sweet and romantic names like ....” “Like?” Alex folded his lips and cleared his throat. “Ah. Yo..u sh..ould know what I mean.” he stuttered. “I really don't. What should I call you, Mr. Alex?” she feigned innocence. Wasn't she the one who couldn't let go of me a few minutes ago? Alex thought. Why was she pretending not to know anything now. They arrive

    “You look so beautiful, Mrs. Peters.” “Don’t call me that yet.” Clara snapped at him, shyly. “Alright. But you are indeed pretty.” “Thank you,” Clara said with a blush.

He just needed to do some finishing touches before they headed out. Once he was done, he came down and they headed for dinner. While he was dressing, his mum called him, probably to know if he was still coming and he assured his mum that he was almost done. However, no one knew that he was going to show up with Clara.

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
