Chapter Three

Clyde

After all these years, I can't believe she's in my house. I must admit I felt jealous of myself that she was drooling over my new face and changed body, but I had to get used to the new me seven years ago when I left. I was no longer that innocent young boy who was ready to do anything for love. She and her family crashed those dreams and forced me to be this version of the person that I am today, Clyde Harrison. Her appearance had changed a lot and her body had matured so beautifully, but she still had that innocent face. Her presence had been haunting me like a ghost, her eyes, her smile, the dimple on her cheek, her scent, the feeling of her skin and soft lips on mine. I had a plan for her as well, but didn't expect to see her the other night at the club.

But fate brought her to me earlier. I held her small and fragile body the other night, and when I laid her on my bed I had to fight the urge to kiss her. I couldn't keep my hands to myself after I took her heels off. What was she doing in heels, she hated those. I guess we both have changed. Like I guess she didn't remember last night. But her eyes widened in horror waiting for me to tell her what happened.

"Look at me mister, If you took advantage of me while being drunk." She stood on her feet threatening me with her pointing finger.

"Necrophilia is not my thing, And you're not my type. I prefer women, not girls." She narrowed her eyes, the thing she did when she disapproved of something.

Still my girl.

"Excuse me? Should I take it as a compliment or should I be offended?" She talked while moving her hands up and down with her heels still in her hands.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but nothing happened between us last night. You fainted in front of me at the club, you couldn't tell whom you were with or your address that's why I brought you here. You should thank me instead of accusing me of taking advantage of your drunken state! " I raised my voice with disgust at the end and decided to ignore her eyes because it wasn't as easy as I thought having her in front of me.

"I. I'm sorry. Thank you. " She said almost in a whisper.

"Gabriel will show you the way out. Gabriel! " I yelled at him and he opened the door after he knocked.

"Escort the lady out.”

I said sternly not looking at her and turning the chair around to face the window.

"Ungrateful brat!" I muttered after I heard the door being pulled closed.

Olivia

The guy had called a taxi for me, Gabriel was his name I think. I didn't even get to know the name of the rude man. Yeah, he did a heroic act because I fainted in front of him. So rude and arrogant! To hell with his physical appearance, he doesn't think I'm a woman! I was really angry on my way home.

I had to deal with my mom as well, convincing her that I stayed at Sam's house. Dad was not at home like always and my sister must be at the holding dealing with finances since I covered the design industry. After a long shower and some pills for my headache, I went to the holding.

"Good Afternoon Miss Smith." The receptionist, Carol flashed a smile and I smiled back at her.

"Did the thing that I was waiting for come?"

"Yes, the mailman brought it in the morning." She gave me the file.

"Thank you, oh, and no word with my father about this." I winked at her.

Hopefully, I will find something about Daniel in there. I entered my office to check the data on the file, he existed until seven years ago then he disappeared from the earth like magic. I have looked for him all those years and haven't found a clue if he is alive or if he is not.

"Please God help me! One sign!" I prayed to God, I was desperate.

The knock on the door made me gather the sheets in a hurry and hide the file.

"Hey, are you busy?" My sister Amara flashed a smile.

"No, come in." I smiled back.

"So we just finished a meeting with a new collaboration that we'll be having about the jewelry design and let me tell you that the man was hot. I never met someone as hot as he is." She sat down drooling over that man.

"Don't forget you have a fiance." I reminded her and she pouted her lips.

"At least let me dream. But that man was perfect. By the way, you'll get to meet him tonight because Dad invited him for dinner at home, at 20:00 sharp don't be late." She got up moving the chair to its previous place before getting out.

She returned extending her head through the door.

"Oh, his name is Clyde Harrison, how sexy." She made that dreaming face again before she left.

I shook my head laughing. My crazy sister. I controlled the information about Daniel again, there was this place he was staying before he disappeared, a hotel two hours away from where I was.

I hurried so I could catch up with the business dinner my dad had planned. All the efforts were in vain because they wouldn't give information, but convinced or better say I paid someone to give me the number of the manager of the hotel and speak to him. I was 10 minutes late for dinner and speaking on the phone with the hotel's manager when I got home. I was fighting with him over the phone not noticing that all eyes were on me. A pair of green familiar eyes stared at me, it was the man who had taken me to his house when I was drunk. My father coughed before speaking.

"This is my second daughter Olivia. Olivia, this is our new partner Clyde Harrison." My father introduced us.

I was waiting from one moment to the other for him to say that we'd met so I extended my hand.

"Nice to meet you, mister Harrison." He took my hand lightly and goosebumps covered my skin.

"Likewise." He said with a smirk.

"Excuse us." My father smiled politely at him before taking me to the kitchen.

"What are you doing still looking for that dead boy?" My father whisper-yelled.

"We don't know if he is dead, his body was never found." I tried to explain but my father did not let me.

"I don't want to hear more about that boy in this house! You go change your clothes and come down fast. The guest we have tonight is important." My dad spoke through his teeth, not waiting for an answer he left me there and went back to the hall.
