Darkness consumed him when he felt numbness all over his body. Did he just ignore that pain for so long? He wanted to open his eyes with so much difficulty but the pain was undesirable that he just let it close down for some time. Alex felt his body temperature rising undoubtedly. He should have told them about his discomfort beforehand so that they could at least get some medicines on the way. "Drive fast, idiot" Clara yelled at Jason who is driving the jeep at jet speed."This is the tenth time you are calling me an idiot," Jason pouted. All the while, Edward and Alina just went silent to see Clara's panicked state for Alex. "It's not a simple fever. He had a fever due to infections and severe pain" Clara added as she was continuously keeping her stole on his forehead after soaking them in the water. "We are almost there. Just half an hour" Caroline spoke when she recognised the road to her home. Clara gets relief by still being worried that if the fever doesn't go down, they hav
Life is really short. We can't hold our anger so long to waste such a precious life. Clara sat there with her husband whose health is not well. She knew at that moment that wherever she could run, her destiny would be him only. Her love and care for him can never reduce even a percent. What was his fault of him in this entire situation? His anger. But didn't she know that previously? Didn't he ask her only to adjust to this? Every person has a weakness and Alex was very clear in his weakness. Even he tried his best not to get angry with her in every matter. She knew how he tried. She could even count those days when he got angry and even then, he made sure to make her feel priceless with his efforts of apologising with a promise that he would control his anger. That day, he crossed all his limits and of course, it was because of his mom. Can it not be forgiven? "Won't you forgive me ever?" Alex asked, releasing a single thing from her attitude that she would never change her decisi
When we are angry, it can be solved once the anger subsidies. When we are resenting someone, it does vanish away with time with the person's efforts of apologising. But when we are hurt by ourselves, it is very hard to get back to our happy days again. "I don't know what you are up to. But if you want to tell me the same story that you are angry and you don't want to forgive him, I will slap you" Alina snapped at once, losing her patience."I know you more than anyone here. Your anger is not visible anymore and all I see is you are hiding something and I don't know why you are hesitating." Alina blurred out as pulled her hair out of frustration.Clara took a long sigh. Of course, she can't hide anything from Alina for sure. But will she understand?"I thought that I would be happy seeing in pain. I thought that I would enjoy his helplessness thinking that he couldn't save our child. But in turn, I just can't see him in tears. I wish I could have told him back then so that he doesn't
'Alex smith finally decided to move on. He has announced his wedding date.' The news column made a ruckus as Edward gasped seeing the column. Alex is surely a rich celebrity whose news is coming every now and then. But he is very cautious in revealing his personal things. He has never even done an interview or given any party to VIPs to come on the news. But his achievements made headlines since he takes over his dad's company. Edward never thought that he would read such news about Alex ever.Clara looked to the right side of Alex and her eyes turned suspicious when she noticed his hands locking on another soft hand. The girl behind Alex came to the front with a broad smile, making Clara's heart stop for a moment. She looked like an angel descending to earth. Her dusky complexion with perfect facial features is the highlighting part. Her style of dress is just worth the whole restaurant for sure. Her toxic smile made everyone smile in anticipation. Who is she?The most irritating par
The silence around the table thickened as Anna and Clara stared at each other spitting fire. Alina and Edward didn't like the dinner meeting at all. "Food is here," Alina said, putting a full stop to the war budding there. "Wow, Pasta. Did you order this for me?" Anna grabbed white sauce mac and cheese pasta as Alex's stares didn't leave Clara even a second. Will she say that it was ordered for her? "How come always her favourites are her rival's favourites too?" Edward asked when he realised the unseen war between Clara and Anna for pasta too."Of course, who else would I order this for?" Alex said with a charming smile. His actions and words were now for another girl. Alex served Anna pasta and kept the container there. "Waiter. Margarita pizza for me" Clara ordered for herself. Alex's eyes turned colder and she internally smirked at him. She always eats pizza whenever she is damn happy about anything. What does she want to prove here? "Make it two" Alex ordered without taking
That was a long hard day for Alex as he left the restaurant with Anna. He entered his home and walked fast to his room without minding seeing anyone there."Come and have a seat here" a lady in her mid-fifties spoke but Alex resumed his walk without even thinking to give a nod. Looks like he doesn't really notice any presence around him or he really doesn't feel like noticing. Either way, the lady seemed to be pissed off."Frank, is this manners?" The lady asked to disapprove of Alex's mannerisms."Alex" Frank softly called his son as he stopped his track. "Please have a seat." Frank's voice is more of a pleading and of course, Alex cannot deny his dad's word for sure. He sat there."Sally aunty wants to discuss the engagement date" Frank didn't see Alex's face as he spoke. Alex looked at Frank accusingly."Dad, I dont know why you all pressuring me. I am not going to marry this girl" Anna entered when Alex pointed towards her. "I thought you liked me," Anna spoke as she gasped at h
Clara read the message again and again as tears flowed down her eyes. Is it from Frank? Did he think that she would ruin his son's life and that's why he asked her not to come home from now on?"Hello" Clara called Frank directly. She can't quit her job for sure."Hello," Frank's voice was indifferent and of course, Clara didn't like how he wished her without any dear."I can't just accept your message and not come there. I will treat you till you stand by yourself" Clara spoke carefully so that Frank accepted her demand. "I am fine now. There will be marriage in a few days here. So I wish to have a peaceful atmosphere" Frank's words pricked Clara directly."I won't interfere. In fact, if it's not a drama and they wanted to get married, I would be happy for him" Clara can't have Frank's hatred for sure. This man's love is too good to lose. She heard his long sigh. Okay, that's bad. She has never begged even her dad for anything. Doesn't this make Frank special?"Can't you understand
Alex touched the beard which grew more than natural. He has never been like this. It has been 32 days since he met Clara. Her answer and her decision shook him to the core. Did he realize this back then? Maybe if Jenny was well, she would have done something to unite them back then. Now nothing can save his relationship. Every day, Sally has been doing drama to annoy him to a greater level but all the while Frank was just silent to let Sally do anything with Alex."I know you are angry with me. But don't skip food" Frank placed the breakfast on the table but as usual Alex didn't even touch them as he took his keys from the shelf."Just maintain your silence as usual" Alex replied as he left the home. He is damn hurt with Frank as to why he changed overnight and even went to a silent mode since then.*******"I will kill you Edward" Alina threw a pillow at him as she jumped like a monkey to attack him like a lion. "Please, please. Just tell me what is my fault now so that I can get th
Clara felt so emotional to he a part of this family. She expressed how they all accepted her even with all her flaws. She is grateful for Jenny who is more than like her mom. She cares for Clara more than Bella at sometimes. Not even mention about Frank who is exact copy of Alex in taking care of their loved ones. When she finished her speech, Alex lifted her again making all gasp."Time is up. She needs to rest" Alex spoke with a wink as he got to their room to make her sleep. Edward takes care of the rest of the arrangements for the guest. ***** "Alex. I guess" Clara woke up in the middle of the night. She is getting restless and Alex switched on the lights with the same panic. It's their routine to wake up in the middle of the night to see if they neared the due date, if the cramps are actually her labour pain or not."It's really paining this time" Edward sighed at Clara's words as she always gets scare of pain so she gets panic for the false pain."Edward, get the car. Alina,
Alina sat over the shore and she knew that there was still time for her delivery but why does she feel restless all of a sudden. She wiped her forehead for the ninth time and sudden pain shot up her abdomen making her eyes tear up automatically. She grabbed Edward's shoulder with her nails making him shriek out in pain. "It's painting" Alina spoke with difficulty as Edward started getting nervous all of a sudden. He was well.organized and he even was prepared for such a situation. He packed everything in advance. He even came to the nearest place where he could get her to the hospital. But when the time came, he felt paranoid. Edward stood up to get help from his friends while Alina grabbed him again."Ask Jason to get Clara back home. She shouldn't see this. She will be scared." Alina knew exactly what Clara was. She is very strong but too timid from inside. Giving birth to a child is the scariest thing for her. She would freak out if she witnessed such things.Edward grabbed Alex
#####chapter 116 A small picnic was needed for both the couples to run away from the busy schedule. Edward prepared everything necessary which Alina did not even think would be necessary for a one day picnic. "That's absurd. There are still two weeks until my due date and you have prepared everything as if we would be going today. We shall arrange it once we come back" Alina pouted ignoring the heartbeat which was due to the fear of pain. "why are you even trying when I won't listen to you in taking chances in your matter" Edward is annoyed now. Alina has been nagging him since morning not to pack these things."ready?" Alex asked as he entered the jeep. Jason and Sana too joined them but yeah always kissing Alex and Edward to a greater level.Clara sat near Alex as she kept her head over his shoulder. It's her fourth month and she is hell exhausted with the drastic change in her body. She craves almost everything but as soon as she takes one bite of it, she emptied her stomach. Th
"Shall we have a big banner here?" Edward is super excited to have a baby shower function for his wife to welcome their baby. It's the ninth month and he is too excited. "Just have a pink banner here and a blue banner there" Alex arranged everything for Alina. Edward is indeed his brother cum buddy but Alina and he have been sharing a special relationship since then. They want to have a thrilling experience so they denied to know the gender."She had arranged for a photo shoot. If you get late by even a second, I can not guarantee your life" Alex reminded him as Edward widened his eyes in shock. He totally forgot about it. He ran to the backside where everything was set perfectly.The function starts smoothly as Edward's parents blessed the couple and Edward's mom started the ritual. "Don't you dare talk to me" everyone was startled with the noise from the entrance?"What happened, Clara?" Edward ran to her side with concern. "I don't want to talk to this guy!" Clara pointed at Ale
114 "She is kicking." Alina beamed in happiness as the doctor smiled showing her the screen where the tiny baby is not at all in one position to let them watch her. "Edward, did you see?" Alina asked happily as Edward touched the screen to feel the tiny heartbeat in his palm."I haven't felt this weird happiness in my entire life. Can't wait long to have her in my hand" Edward spoke with tears in his eyes as both of them jerked from the position hearing commotion from outside.Alina and Edward went out to see Alex fighting with the receptionist to let him enter the scan room."What happened?" Edward is just too shocked to see his state."Alina, do you know where Clara is?" Alex asked ignoring Edward's question."And why do you even have a phone when you won't pick up?" Alex yelled at Edward with so much anger that Edward was taken aback by the situation. "Relax, I didn't talk to Clara since morning. Did anything happen?" Alina asked grabbing Alex's palm to let him calm down for a b
"I am going to Apple restaurant for just half an hour." Alex got extremely angry with her behavior. Of course, she informed him that her doctor is in the city who treated her during her miscarriage. But didn't he restrict her to travel anywhere alone? He grabbed his keys with the same anger and panic. She should be safe. "Where is she?" Frank asked when Alex came running downstairs."she messaged me that she is going nearby. So I will bring her now." Alex answered curtly as he walked fastly."What was that important?" Frank too was annoyed with her."She went to meet the doctor who treated her back then," Alex paused and looked at Jenny. Should he tell the reason or not?"When she had a miscarriage?" Jenny asked gasping as Frank too widened his eyes."Alex. Don't let her meet. Don't... I mean... Go and get her before she meets her. No, let me call that doctor..." Frank took the mobile and Alex stood there completely taken aback by the sudden expressions of Jenny and Frank."Jenny, do
Alex panicked seeing Clara who was standing at the entrance of her mom's room. He knew that Clara didn't even see Jenny these days. He even promised her that it would happen soon when the doctor examines her improvement. But now seeing her doing this, he felt his heart strangled. She won't do anything rashly. That's what he was uttering again and again till he reaches her side. "Clara" he called her gently so that they both could leave the place before his mom notices them. Alex tried to talk about Clara with Jenny. But she never mentions her name or asked anything about that incident. It was clear that her mind shuts that memory from her system. So Alex wanted to take it slowly. He saw Clara's back stiffened with his presence. She didn't turn to his side instead she was frozen on the spot. He notices that something was wrong as he peeped inside and his entire body froze when he saw his mom in the same state, a numb state. Jenny was frozen and the tears streamed down with no gap. A
"don't strain too much. It's just a few days since you were asleep. Don't stress about anything." The doctor advised Jenny who is still not able to even lift her finger and that stresses her like hell."I have injected for pain. So it will subside soon. Try to speak and be at ease. I will soon get your tests done by the end of this week and let's see what should be done" The doctor left the room with a smile. Alex didn't want to leave her side any moment. "A.l.e.n" Jenny struggled to speak as Alex helped her to drink water."What. What? Do you want something?" Alex asked in his panic voice."Frank?" Jenny asked. "I am here." Frank came there and Alex was just shocked to see his dad in entirely new form. He was dressed up in a stylish t-shirt paired up with jeans and he even did his hair. His light blue jacket was top notch. The coolers he used was the latest one. He completed his looks with his stylish attitude. "Jaan, I am here at your service. Just give me a signal I will bring e
Some time before"Alex, leave me." Clara was wriggling in his arms when he shamelessly pulled her inside as she was about to give him a towel."As you know, my back is still hurting and I couldn't bathe myself" Alex pouted as he loosened his grip. She looked at him and she knew that he was not joking now. His continuous careless sleep made her back stiffened to a severe level and he has trouble in daily activities."I couldn't sleep those days without you." Alex honestly mumbled as her heart constricted. "Don't you think you should fill those days with your care?" he asked cheekily as he winked at her. Clara smiled and didn't protest. She too enjoyed it as she helped him bathe. "If you want to join me?" Alex asked as she threw water to his side to make him shut his mouth. There are certain things that she can never do and he knew that. And just like that, she ran down without noticing the soap foam in her arms. Clara stood there where Alex took the entire scene in the opposite view
