Chapter 4-Confusion

2024-08-22 06:24:43Clarissa’s POV
When I gazed into his eyes, a strange familiarity washed over me, yet no matter how hard I tried to recall, my mind remained a blank slate. I noticed the surprise etched on his face as he took a step back, and for the first time, I allowed myself to truly observe him. He was undeniably attractive, with dark hair pulled back neatly, but the scar that traced from his eye to his cheek gave him a rugged appearance. In an instant, the haunting image of Ivan lying motionless on the ground invaded my thoughts, sending a chill of fear through me. Yet, amidst the turmoil, I sensed something was off; this man seemed certain that I was someone he recognized as his wife and had interrupted my wedding because of it. To make matters worse, he had revealed that he was divorced from his wife, and I couldn't understand why he was so determined to win her back after having left her. He turned and walked to the back of the jet, leaving me alone in the passenger seat, still dressed in my wedding gown and makeup. I felt a swirl of emotions perhaps fear but I couldn't quite pinpoint what was happening. This situation felt unsettling, and I didn't like it at all. I must have drifted off in my thoughts, utterly exhausted, because the next thing I knew, I woke up to find him cradling me in his arms, carrying me off the plane. I felt too drained to resist, knowing deep down that he wouldn’t let me go, still believing I was his wife. Before long, we were in a car, and the ride was filled with an uncomfortable silence. I sat beside him, feeling his gaze on me, and every time he reached out, I instinctively recoiled, staring out the window as the scenery blurred by. Eventually, we arrived at a mansion that seemed oddly familiar, but my mind was foggy, and I struggled to recall why. I noticed him watching me with a look of concern, yet he remained silent. "What happeneto you?" he suddenly asked, his sorrowful gaze piercing through me. I stared back at him, bewildered, as if he had lost his mind. "I've told you before, I'm not your wife. Why can't you grasp that?" I retorted sharply, noticing the frown that crossed his face in response. "You are my wife, and soon you will realize it," he insisted, stepping out of the car and holding the door open for me. As I exited, I let out a scoff and walked into the building ahead of me. "You're just wasting your time; I am not your wi..." My words trailed off as I entered the living room. There, hanging prominently, was a massive photograph, not just any photo, I saw myself in that picture, or a woman who looked exactly like me. She was in a beautiful wedding dress, beaming, while Dominic stood beside me, frowning at the camera as he held my hands tightly. I pressed my hand to my mouth, sinking to my knees as the weight of the moment overwhelmed me. This was too much to comprehend; it felt impossible. Was there a part of my life I had overlooked? Was this stranger really claiming to be my husband? Deep down, I sensed something was off. Perhaps I had a twin I never knew about, or maybe he was just toying with my emotions. These thoughts swirled in my mind, but the idea seemed absurd. I had grown up with my parents, and just a year ago, I had fallen for Ivan during a beach trip. He was the best thing that had ever happened to me, yet now this stranger seemed to have taken him away. Gathering my strength, I stood up to confront him. He looked at me with an expectation that made me uneasy, but I was determined not to be drawn into whatever game he was playing. Who knows, maybe the picture he showed me was altered to deceive me into believing a falsehood. “I don’t know what kind of game this is, but I refuse to be a part of it,” I declared, watching as he smirked and advanced toward me while I instinctively stepped back. “For a year, I searched the world for you, only to realize that you were right under my nose all along, and hidden from. And you think I would play some kind of game with you, Clarissa? You are my wife, just as you have always been, and nothing will ever change that,” he murmured slowly, a grin spreading across his face. He stood close, pressing me against the wall, his breath washing over me in waves that sent me into a panic. Confusion swirled in my mind as I gazed into his eyes; I felt a strange familiarity, as if I had seen him in my dreams. Yet here he was, holding me captive, convinced that I belonged to him. “I love someone else. Are you really going to keep me here just because of who you believe I am?” I asked, and he simply smiled at me. “You will remember what you’ve forgotten, and you will be mine. Just give it time. For now, go to bed,” he replied, leaning towards me, i looked away from him while he injected something into my neck. Within seconds, darkness enveloped me.

Dominic POV I gazed at her as she drifted off in my arms, I knew she was fighting to stay awake, but I knew her well enough to recognize the panic rising within her. The only way to calm her was to gently ease her into sleep. As I cradled her, I admired her face; though time had passed, she remained stunning. Her hair cascaded behind her in soft waves, her skin was as smooth as cream, and her lips retained that youthful allure. Just as I was about to lay her down, the door swung open, and Aiden entered. “Don,” he called, and I turned my attention to him. “A What’s the situation?” I inquired, my gaze still fixed on the serene beauty before me. “He survived. It turns out he was wearing a bulletproof vest, and the bullet only grazed his skin,” Aiden replied, and I had to summon all my strength to keep my emotions in check. A wave of anger washed over me at the thought of having dealt with that monster, only to learn he was still alive, I whisper he had died when I have

I groaned as I opened my eyes, a dull headache crashing over me in waves. As I sat up, I scanned my surroundings and quickly realized I was in an unfamiliar room. Something felt off, and the first question that popped into my mind was how I had ended up here. Then, like a sudden jolt, the memories flooded back. The wedding, Ivan’s tragic death right before my eyes, and then there was him. Dominic. The enigmatic stranger who had captivated my attention, filled with an aura of sorrow and countless unanswered questions. I recalled him injecting something into me—whatever it was that Clarissar had used had definitely knocked me out. As I sat upright, I noticed I was dressed in nightwear, my once beautiful wedding dress now gone. Clutching the robe tightly around me, I slowly dragged myself out of bed. I opened the door to reveal a long, dimly lit hallway. A nagging feeling told me I was no longer in Russia, and wherever Clarissar was, it felt like a distant memory. The thought of esc

I stood there, completely stunned, gazing at a woman I had never encountered before in my life. “Wait, what?” I asked Dominic, who was glaring at Harper with a fierce intensity. “I used to call her my sister, but after what she did to me, she’s no sister of mine. I will never see her as family again,” Harper shouted, turning on her heel and storming out of the office. I was left standing there, more bewildered than ever. I felt paralyzed as I watched her walk away, unsure of how to respond or what to think. I didn’t understand what was happening. I glanced at Dominic, who was still fixated on the door through which she had just exited, and it was clear they shared a complicated past. Harper herself had acknowledged it, and the depth of her hatred for me was palpable, sending chills down my spine. Whatever had transpired between this woman named Eve and her was clearly something dark and troubling.I was exhausted from trying to convince this man that I wasn't his long-lost wife.

It took me some time to finally push him away, as I was overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. I had always been told that the fear of the unknown is the most daunting, and that’s exactly what I was experiencing, i was terrified of what I might uncover, what truths might come to light. As I stepped back, his gaze filled with desire made me feel a deep sense of shame for the first time. “You…you…” I stuttered, my eyes widening in shock at the situation unfolding before me. “I will wait… Eve, even if it takes years to have you by my side,” he murmured before turning to leave. I stood there, struggling to catch my breath, my heart racing as confusion and fear clouded my mind. I realized I had to escape; I needed to get away from this place to avoid being trapped by Dominic . I understood all too well that he wouldn’t let me go easily, regardless of what I did or how hard I tried. I quietly slipped out of the room, and as I wandered through the halls, his words replayed in my

As temping as it was I knew I couldn’t refuse, I had to get it of here no matter what, and she wasn’t even making it easy for me, by being a bitch. I gazed at her, feeling a mix of shock and confusion. She had always made it clear that she didn’t want me around, and I couldn’t quite grasp her motives. But honestly, it didn’t matter to me; all I wanted was to escape this place, and if that meant we had a deal, then so be it. “Great, a deal it is. If I were kidnapped and brought here against my will, I’d definitely want to leave,” I replied, noticing a smile creeping onto her lips, as if she couldn’t believe I was actually agreeing to her terms. Despite how tempting it was, I realized I couldn't say no to her terms, why would I ever want to come back here in the first place. Her difficult attitude certainly wasn't helping. Each sharp word and dismissive gesture only added to my frustration, making it harder to focus on my own needs and desires. I glanced around, searching f

The dim light cast shadows on the faces of my men, each one reflecting a mix of concern and determination. I remained quiet, weighing the opinions of my men, The situation had deteriorated rapidly, and Ivan was playing a dangerous game with me, a game I deeply despised. He was not just a rival; he was a master manipulator, skilled at exploiting weaknesses and sowing discords . The loss of our factories was not merely a financial blow; it was a direct assault on our power and influence in the region. Each factory that fell silent represented not just lost revenue, but also a blow to our reputation and standing in the county, and I knew I needed to put an end to it. As I glanced around the table,

Clarissa POV I could see why Dominic struggled to accept his wife's death; without a body, it left room for all sorts of rumors and theories to swirl around. The absence of closure can be a breeding ground for obsession, and it seemed that Dominic had fallen victim to that very trap. “Come in, I’ll prepare a bath for you,” Lily offered as she parked in what I assumed was her apartment's garage. Her voice was soothing, a stark contrast to the chaos in my mind. As we stepped out of the car, my mind was a whirlwind, grappling with thoughts that felt jumbled and confusing. The events of the day replayed in my head like a broken record Dominic's frantic eyes, the gunshot that rang out, the feeling of being yanked away from the life I once knew, I was about to be married, and that was snatched away from me, by a man who thought i was his wife. Entering her apartment, I noticed Lily turning to face me. The warm, inviting space was filled with soft light and the scent of lavender.

Third POV Lily stood frozen, her gaze fixed on the tattoo adorning Clarissa's spine, a poignant reminder of her best friend, who had been lost to her forever. The news of Eve’s disappearance had struck her hardest a year ago; Eve was more than just a friend she was like a sister. The pain of that loss was unbearable. The car had been found charred and submerged in the river, yet Eve’s body was never recovered. The authorities had ruled her dead, claiming there was no way she could have survived such a devastating accident. The guilt weighed heavily on Lily, knowing she hadn’t been there for her best friend when she needed her most. A burial ceremony was held, but Dominic, Eve’s ex-husband, didn’t attend. It was evident he didn’t care about her, nor did he seem to mourn the loss of his former wife. Lily harbored deep resentment towards him for the hurt he had inflicted during their time together; he had treated her poorly, and the memories still stung. Although she was

The sound of the latch clicking into place echoed in the silence, making me flinch.For a second, I stood frozen, unsure of what was about to happen. I thought he was going to yell at me. Maybe he would tell me how reckless I had been, how my actions had put us in even more danger. His silence only made it worse; the weight of it pressed down on me, making it hard to breathe.But then, before I could say a word, he turned and pulled me into his arms.

I stood in the corner of Dominic’s office, disoriented, clutching the edge of the desk for support. The room spun with the weight of realization: Vincent had escaped. And worse, he was free. After all the pain and suffering he had caused it hurt knowing he was finlaly free.The pain of it twisted my chest.

Vincent moved with calculated precision the moment the gun went off in his hand. His body slipped into the darkness, quick and silent, as the sound of footsteps thundered down the hall. He pressed himself against the cold stonewall of the cells corridor, eyes sharp, watching as Dominic and his men sprinted past him, guns drawn and rage palpable in the air. The chaos his gunshot had caused was his opening, and he wasn’t about to waste it. Yet he knew this place like the back of his hand. He’d grown up within these walls, surrounded by secrets, blood, and betrayal. He understood the mansion’s defenses better than anyone. The guards, the locks, the escape routes,Dominic had fortified it over the years, making it nearly impenetrable. Escaping unnoticed would be impossible. But Vincent didn’t plan to slip out the gate unnoticed. He smirked to himself, the gun still warm in his grip. If he couldn’t run, he’d make himself a problem Dominic couldn’t ignore.

I pulled up in front of Dominic’s gate, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My heart was hammering in my chest as I glanced at the dashboard clock. How long has it been? An hour? Two? I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was she’d left home and I knew so well she was coming here. A million worst-case scenarios raced through my mind. I prayed I wasn’t too late. The gate creaked open as soon as the guards saw it was me. Without hesitation, I drove in fast, tires screeching slightly as I swerved into the garage. Throwing the car into park, I jumped out and barked at one of the men standing nearby. “Wake the boss! We have a breach!” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. The man nodded and turned to leave, but before he could take a step, the sound of gunfire shattered the tense silence. My stomach dropped. Two gunshots. My body froze for a split second, but then instinct kicked in, and I bolted toward the entrance to the u
