Alex ensured that Elizabeth and Selene were locked up before proceeding to his office.

However, he changed his mind about going back to the office. Clara should be awake now and he should let her know the steps he had taken.

He told the driver to take him to the house instead.

When Clara tried to call Sophia, Mrs. Peters thought she was going to call Alex, so she took the phone from her and asked her out.

Because Clara can't fight back, she left.

Just at the entrance, Alex saw her.

“Sweet, where are you going looking like this?” Alex could sense that something was wrong so he held her while they entered inside.

The moment he saw his mum and Annie. He got it. Without asking what the problem was, he asked them to leave.

“Mum, Annie. You two aren't allowed in here ever again.”

    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.

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.

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 assorted 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 see 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 only looked at her.Clara tried to tell him to join her but he refused saying things like “It was made specially for you.”While Clara didn't und

    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.

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.
