“Why are you doing this? I have done everything you asked me to do. Please, Clara, let it go.” Xavier pleaded. Clara stared at him and slowly let out a chuckle. “You mean nothing to me, you have never meant something and you never will. I don't love you and I never will.” “My words. Do they ring a bell?” She asked with a smile as she stared at him. His eyes were clouded with tears. “Clara… “ “Five years ago you said those words to me, now I am saying them back to you.

Clara remained frozen, she couldn't think straight. She couldn't believe Malia could be with who she was staring at.“Ladies and gentlemen, Xavier Blackwell.” The man announced and everyone cheered. Of course, everyone knows Xavier Blackwell but no one expected him to be Xavier’s guest.“Clara.” Dexter called and looked at her. She hasn't said a word since, she has just been staring.“Clara.” Dexter called again.“She changed her dress too.” Clara finally spoke up. She noticed the new dress she had on, it was better than hers. Dexter stared at her in disbelief, the dress is the only thing she was concerned about?“Your kids are coming.” Dexter said, she turned to see them walking towards her.“What am I going to say to them?” She panicked.“I thought you were only worried about Malia’s new dress.” He replied, she ignored him and faked a
NIGHT “I don't get it. If you have been looking forward to this party for the past few days, why do we have to be late for it?” Kaylen asked Clara as she helped him with his jacket. Malia’s party started over an hour ago, and every guest that was invited was already present. They knew about it because the party was live, every news channel was streaming it, same thing online. “We need to be the center of attraction. When we walk in, I want every camera in the room on us.” Clara replied with a smile.“You know I get scared of the reporters and I don't like camera flashes on me.” Kaylee said as she sat at the edge of the bed and looked down at her pretty shoes.“You will have to love it tonight, baby.” Clara replied without turning to her.“All done.” She muttered and stood upright, she stared at her dress in the mirror. She felt satisfied with her look. She and her kids were in her room, she was finally ready to leave. “Let's go.” She giggled and picked up her purse, she and her k
“I want the best dress. The most expensive one.” Clars said on the phone as she walked around in the living room.Dexter watched her, finding her act funny. She claims she isn't bothered about Malia’s party but she wants to be the best dressed there.She got her kids expensive dresses too. She hasn't decided what she will wear yet because she keeps changing her mind about what to wear. At the corner of the living were piles of dresses she had rejected. The party is tomorrow night and she hasn't picked her dress yet.“Ugh.” She groaned as she got off the phone.“So, how did that go?” Dexter asked and she glared at him.“How do you think it went?” She asked back. She scoffed and took a seat next to him.“Do you realize you skipped work today because you wanted to pick a perfect dress for Malia’s party?” Dexter said and she nodded in response.“Hmm.” She replied as she went through her phone to search for new designers.“And you don't care?” He asked and she nodded in response again.“C
CALIFORNIATHE NEXT DAYMORNINGSarah groaned in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes, she felt a hand on her and she turned to see Xavier. Her eyes widened in shock.“Daddy?” She muttered and closed her eyes. She wanted to be sure she wasn't seeing things. She opened her eyes again and gasped.“Daddy.” She screamed happily and jumped on Xavier, he groaned and slowly opened his eyes.“Oh my God, Sarah.” He groaned. He opened his eyes fully and chuckled seeing her face so close to his, she was smiling widely. “It's really you, you are here. I am so happy.” She giggled as she pulled her face away from his.“I wasn't ready to wake up yet.” “Sorry.” She giggled.“I feel so sleepy.” He groaned again and she pulled his cheeks playfully.“Sorry, daddy.” She muttered. “So it wasn't a dream, I thought I was dreaming last night.” She giggled happily as she jumped off the bed. She clapped her hands and jumped around happily.Xavier smiled and watched her.“Oh, Daddy. You just made me the ha
“Does my children have to be involved?”Clara asked.“Are your children not a Blackwell?” She asked back and Clara sighed. She slowly bowed her head at her again.“They are ma’am. I can't keep bringing them into this, it will affect their childhood a lot.” She replied. Tokyo took a step closer to her, but Clara kept her head bowed. Not because she couldn't look up at her and hold her gaze but she just had to respect the fact that she was her boss.“A quick question, Anastasia. Do you think you are useful to them without your kids?” She asked.“No, ma’am… ““Then use your fucking kids!” She snapped at her. Clara looked up at her and held her gaze, she had a lot to say back at her, she had a lot to yell about but she couldn't. Her hands were behind her back, they were trembling. She was holding a lot of emotions back, Dexter glanced at her and noticed her trembling hands.“If you can't do the job then inform the panel, and we will gladly take back what we gave you and make you a nobod
She froze and turned to see Kaylen. He had a cake in his hand with his mouth all covered in it. Clara was good at lying without being nervous, all she did was smile sweetly at him.“The bathroom. Are you following me?” Clara asked as he licked his fingers.“The bathroom is over there according to Mrs. Parish.” He replied and Clara smiled at him before walking towards the direction.She found the bathroom and walked in.“Fuck.” She cursed. She waited a few more minutes before deciding to go out. She opened the door and flinched as she saw Kaylen standing by the door.“What the fuck, Kaylen?” She asked. Kaylen chuckled and looked up at her.“Nothing. I just wanted to see if I could scare you, I was waiting for you too.” He replied, Clara rolled her eyes and cursed inwardly. He is making this hard for her.“Let's go back to the party.” He said. He was about to hold her hand but she raised it out of his reach.“Your hands are all covered in cake.” She said and he giggled.“I know.” He l
Clara drove into the mansion and parked her car alongside the other guests. She turned to her kids as she turned off the ignition.“Are you with his presents?” Clara asked as they took off their seat belts and prepared to get out of the car.“Yes.” They chorused. They all got out of the car and the kids moved closer to her mother.“Mum, I think you are supposed to have a present for him?” Kaylen said and Clara frowned.“Why? I hate them.” She scoffed and Kaylen shook his head at his mother. “We will be here for just a few hours. I don't want to spend a whole day with the Parishs. Ugh.” Clara said, rolling her eyes.“No.” Kaylee replied and walked towards the entrance.“Be nice.” Kaylen said as he held her hand.“I will try.” She faked a smile and they all walked to the entrance together.They got to the entrance and Clara pressed the doorbell as she kept muttering curse words. Kaylen shook his head at her with a smile. She was being dramatic and it was funny. “Won't she open the f
“I will go check up on Kaylee.” Kaylen said and turned to leave.“Kaylen.” Clara called and he turned to her.“Yes, mum?” He replied. Clara stared at him for a few seconds before speaking up.“Are you good?” “Hmm.” He replied with a nod. Clara stared at him, she felt somehow worried about him. Kaylee is always open with her feelings but he keeps things to himself, he barely complains about anything. He is mostly okay with everything she does and it is disturbing her a bit.Kaylen noticed his mother’s worried expression and he smiled at her.“I am fine, mum.” He assured her. She nodded at him and he smiled at her again before walking out of the study.“At least he doesn't hate me.” She muttered and exhaled heavily. It has been a long year for her too, the kids have changed a little towards her ever since they left California. Kaylee is still herself but she gets mad a lot about little things. Kaylen became cold, he barely talked to her, and he agreed to whatever she said despite no
AUSTRALIAThe school ended for the day and all the kids made their way out, Kaylen and Kaylee walked towards the exit together.Immediately they got to the parking lot, they spotted their car with their guard leaning on it. They were about to walk towards it when Kaylee suddenly paused and gasped.“Wh.. What?” Kaylen asked looking at her concerned“Tyler is coming towards us.” She rushed her words and ran her hands through her hair.“How do I look?” She asked Kaylen as she flipped her hair.“Ugly.” Kaylen replied.“Nice, that means I look great.” she replied and turned to Tyler. He was closer to them already, Kaylen rolled his eyes and stood next to her.“Hey guys.” He called as he got to them. Tyler was their senior and he was ten years old. He talks with Kaylen once in a while and just greets Kaylee as he walks by. Kaylee has a huge crush on him but he doesn't seem to notice. His parents are Clara’s rivals in the city, they compete every time to top the chart of the most successfu
