"What are you doing Zara? Why would you want that woman into this house? She doesn't deserve to be around you. Still; I don't know why you both keep tolerating her stupidity and excesses." Clara said as she was so angry, she couldn't believe that both of them were allowing this nonsense to happen."You don't have to worry about anything, Clara; I only want you here because I don't want her to ruin this night for Fred and me, me especially. Remember we told you this afternoon that we wanted to tell you something?" Zara asked and Clara nodded her head."Yes I remember perfectly well, you said you were going to tell me at dinner tonight. So that's what I'm waiting for. What is going on here? What is it that I'm supposed to know?" Clara asked."Exactly it has to do with me, and I'm still bent on telling you. Bella knows about this because it's a secret, she's using that to blackmail us both. That is the reason why we allowed her to come live with us again. We don't want you to hear it fr
"What in the world are you doing here? What are you doing in my house?" Zara asked all three of them the minute she saw them. She can't believe they have the guts to show their faces here after all they did and the way they treated her in the past."You have some nerves coming into my house all three of you," Fred said and stood up to stay by Zara's side. Clara, on the other hand, seems to be confused as she doesn't understand what's happening. Both her son and Zara seem to know these people, and from the look of things they are not good people at all."Who are they? Zara, you can't get agitated like this; you have to consider the babies and take things easy on yourself, okay?' Clara said and stood from her chair. She walked to Zara and hugged her as well."Zara, my love, it's me, Justin. I'm sure you have missed me, I'm here now. We can go away from here and live far away from this place." Justin said with so many expectations, he's still of the opinion that she loves him and can't l
Zara turned to Justin. Honestly, she was at a loss for words as to what to say to him. But she will try and keep it as simple as she can, she smiled as she turned to him. Who would have thought that he would be back here like this to get her back? Justin saw the smile and thought maybe she was now cool with him. She was angry initially, but coming face to face with him now. She must have realized how much she loves him and can't live without him."You know you have some guts to come here to my house and say this trash out of your mouth," Zara said, and he was shocked; he was not expecting her to speak to him like that. Here he is, thinking she has forgiven him when he's still mad at him."I'm sorry, Zara; I promise that I didn't mean to treat you the way I did. I was lured into it and I promise that it won't happen again, just give me a chance to prove to you that I truly love you. When I saw that video, I was so angry and allowed myself to be overwhelmed by my emotions. But I have r
"I'm not interested in watching any video, the only thing I want right now is for you to get out of my house right now. And I don't want to have to say it more than once." Clara said but Bella refused to move an inch away from there. She's just going to stay here and make sure that Clara watches that video, the success of this plan depends solely on that. And she's not going to allow anyone to ruin that for her, no matter who the person is."I know you don't like me Clara, but all I'm asking is that you give me the benefit of the doubt to prove to you that I mean no harm towards Fred. And the only thing I want is for him to be safe because I love him as if my life depends on it." Bella said, but Clara was not about to fall for her lies."So what do you want me doing for you Bella? Applaud you for loving my son; I know that you are nothing but a snitch, and I'm going to make sure that you rot in jail if you continue to slander my daughter-in-law." Clara warned Bella, making her even a
"What did I just hear? Son, Zara what's going on here? What did you mean by your wife only on paper?" Clara asked and he didn't know what to answer his mother with. He's speechless right now and doubts if there's any way for him to explain what's happening. Zara, on the other hand, was already crying; she couldn't believe this was happening to her. She didn't think it was going to happen like this; she looked at Bella, who had a smirk on her face.She wishes she could walk up to her now and tear down that face of hers; how dare she do this to them? Fred, however, was also very angry; he was trying to understand how she was able to record that. He remembers the day they had this conservation so well, but what he can't remember now is how this happened. She wasn't even holding her phone that day or was she? He asked himself with no answers."Can you see that I'm telling the truth, Clara? They never met each other before. The day he brought her to this house was the day they met and quic
Clara felt like her world was crumbling around her. She couldn't believe that her son and his wife had been deceiving her for so long. She thought she knew them, but now she realized she didn't know them at all."Why?" she asked, her voice shaking with emotion. "Why would you do this to me? Why would you lie to me and make a fool out of me?"Fred took a deep breath and tried to explain. "Mom, I know this is hard to understand, but I did it for the company. I did it to protect our family's legacy. And Zara. she was in a difficult situation, and I wanted to help her.""I was pregnant, Clara. I didn't know what to do. Fred offered to help me, and I took the offer. I know it was wrong, fooling you like that, but I was desperate."Clara followed it all. Anger, sadness, disappointment—all of them mixed in her face. She didn't know what to say or do.Up to this time, Bella was silent. "You see, Clara, I told you they were lying to you. I told you they were using you."Clara wheeled around to
Zara felt a wave of despair wash over her as she watched Fred walk away. She knew she had to do something, but what? She couldn't just stand there and let everything fall apart.She took a deep breath and tried to compose herself, wiping away her tears. She needed to think, to come up with a plan to fix this mess.She just stood there, trying to collect her thoughts, when she felt a touch on her shoulder. That was Clara, whose look in the eyes oozed compassion."Zara, I believe you," Clara said softly. "I know you're telling the truth. We'll get through this together, okay?"Zara nodded, a small spark of hope. Maybe, just maybe, she could repair this after all.Then she scanned the place and saw Bella with that cunning smile on her face. Zara knew she had to go to her to make her pay for it."Bella," Zara spoke, in a firm voice. "We need to talk."Bella raised an eyebrow; Zara could catch that little chink of fear in her eyes."Oh, I'm shaking in my boots," Bella said, but she took a
Bella's eyes turned desperate as she tried to turn the tables on Zara. "This is all a setup, Fred! Zara is framing me!"But Fred's face was inflexible. "I am calling the police, Bella. This is over."Bella's face contorted with fear and anger as she reached to touch Fred's arm, but Clara stepped forward, flashing her angry eyes."Don't touch my son with this filth you call a hand," Clara spat, her words dripping with venom.Bella's hand jerked back as if singed, as she took a step backward, her eyes darting quickly between Fred and Clara."Oh, you'll pay for this," she snarled, her words quivering with malice. "I'll make you pay for this."But Fred just shook his head, the phone already in his hand. "I'm done playing your games, Bella. It's over."As Fred dialed the police, the mask of innocence and charm fell to pieces, showing the ugliness underneath. She knew she had been caught red-handed, and there was no getting out.Sirens were wailing distantly, the pitch growing louder with e
