Jane had already arrived in New York. However, she hadn’t made her appearance outdoors yet because she is a public figure.Before her relocation, she was so popular that everyone thought she was gonna end up with Alex as they have been dating.The news she had just received made her so uncomfortable that she wanted to show her face right there at the Peters corporation but she held herself.Since she landed, she has not even picked up her parent's call nor informed them of her safety.Jane couldn’t just place what was so special about Clara. She had been stalking her social media but she was just an ordinary person below average.What exactly did Alex see in her?In Alex’s office, Clara was quite uncomfortable. Alex was now busily engaged in his system while everyone else was also busy.She felt quite awkward not knowing what to do. Even when the secretary came in to report something to Alex, Clara felt like all eyes were on her.“Sweet?” Alex called her.Clara beamed. She wouldn’t wa
Alex was still conversing with Clara when his phone began to ring. He knew why his father was calling him so he didn't dare pick up the phone.Not like he didn't expect the news to reach his father. He continued his discussion with Clara and before he knew it, it was as if they spent the whole day talking.“Since I get to know my wife more at the office alone, it seems I will bring you here more often.” Alex teased.The joke didn't get to Clara as she could only wonder who had been calling Alex on the phone and why he didn't pick up.“Your phone has been ringing. Aren't you gonna pick it up?”“It's not important,” Alex replied, accepting the fact she didn't catch the joke.Clara no longer felt uneasy after all. Her mind was only occupied with their departure.Since they got lots of side talk as they came in, people are surely going to make comments when they are leaving.Alex had been feeding her with one thing or the other and she was now bloated, yet he wouldn't keep his eyes off h
Alex chuckled. How was he not able to predict this?“Dad, why are you here?” Alex moved closer, trying to protect Clara and shield her from his Dad.Because of Mr. Peters's health condition, he wasn't able to move around.“What was the meaning of your act in the office? How do you want people to view our corporation? Do you know how much sweat that is?”Clara was panicking behind Alex. She hates it when she's the cause of the fight between Alex and his family.“Do you know what?” Mr. Peter asked.Alex was still, waiting for him to say something.“The event planner is done with everything needed for you and Annie’s wedding. It’s either you get married to her and discard this thing,” He made a short stare at Clara. “or use seize to be my son.”“I will make sure to go to the media and denounce you.” He added.Alex was not ready to marry Annie or choose her over Clara. But denouncing wasn’t something he expected from his father. And his father meant everything he said.When Mr. Peters saw
“Sir, we are sorry, what do you mean by we should let you cook? If it was Clara who gave the order it would be better but we can't let you sir.” The chef told Alex.It was weird that he wanted to do the dishes himself. But Alex refused. “This is an order.” He replied and the chef left.Though the chef left, she was so uncomfortable. Allowing their boss to be in the kitchen was not something they were used to.Alex was happily preparing the dishes, and when Clara woke up, he would make her so happy. He was not going to tell her his plans of extending the marriage yet.Henry Brown has been skipping office for days now. He doesn't know why he was so kind to Alex and let him take Clara away from him.Originally, he owned Clara and met her first. His face wrinkled when he thought about the possibility that Alex must have deflowered Clara, he knew Clara had been a virgin.As for Selene's case, Henry had been on it all along, he wanted to gather evidence to prove that Selene was the one who
“Why are you dressed like this?” She queried her husband who was blushing.“What am I dressed like?” Alex directed back at her, trying to find out what was so bad about his dressing.“Chef?”“Chef,” Alex replied, laughing. Though Clara didn't know what was so funny, she joined Alex in his laughter.Then when she followed him downstairs, there were different sorts of dishes on the table. “Did you make all these?” she asked with her eyes wide open.“Yes, I made it for you.”Clara looked around to see if she would catch a glimpse of the chef or servants but no one was around. Then she remembered what happened before she slept.The recall made her shy instantly, she only blushed and began to rush the food.She began by starting to have a taste of everything while nodding with satisfaction.“This is nice,” she said as she ate.While she was eating, Alex exclusively looked at her.Clara tried to tell him to join her but he refused saying things like “It was made specially for you.”While C
Annie’s friends were all wishing they were the one. They couldn't take their eyes off Annie. They wanted to see her answer the phone.But even Annie didn't trust Alex’s call. She knew something must have happened for him to be calling her, and she couldn't risk taking it in front of her friends.“I will just have to take this in the car since I wouldn't like to make any of you jealous.” Annie pretended to be teasing them and excused herself.Her gullible friends who didn't notice anything believed her, and Annie left.“Young master Alex.” She called out in her babysit voice immediately after she picked up the call.“I will only ask you this once and I want nothing but the truth,” Alex responded.He ignored all the drama and pretense she was putting on to get to him and went straight to the point.Annie was shivering a bit. She didn't know what this was all about but her mind was going somewhere.Thank goodness her friends weren't here to witness the heat and tension she was going thro
Everything seemed to be revolving from one problem to another. There was no way he could believe a total stranger who put out unverified information. It might be fake.Alex read the message on the paper again to be sure he hadn't read it wrongly. And after confirming he was correct, he entered his car and zoomed off.On arrival, Clara welcomed Alex warmly. They have been living so fine these few days and she misses Alex most times when he is not around.Alex had been contemplating whether to show that to Clara or not. He knew that was going to break her down but they also promised not to keep anything away from each other.In the end, he concluded that he was going to tell her.“How was the office today? gossips?” Clara chuckled, she had just handed Alex a glass of water and took off his jacket.Having been to the environment, she knew they were still going to be talking about her.“Sweet, it’s something more than gossip,” Alex replied. Though Clara was laughing, he needed to prepare
Annie was trying to come up with something. They had done almost everything to Clara and she kept overcoming them. Alex does come to her aid also.So she doesn't even know what she meant by legal action. But an idea hit her mind.“Dad. You have a lot of influence. It doesn't even have to be real. You just need to give an order. Alex can't do anything about it.”So Mr. Peters kept quiet. More like he was thinking about what Annie said. All these while, they have been trying to get Clara to fall for one trap or the other, but she kept sailing.Without saying anything to them, he left his wife and Annie.So Annie turned to Mrs. Peters, who only offered her a smile before going to join her husband. “Expected,” she mumbled to herself.It was not long before Alex received the message from Henry. He didn't know they would be holding any other conversation after the last time.Whatever he needed urgently, he would grant it. For his honesty the previous time, he would.So Alex replied to the m
