“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. I won't stop Xavier, not until the Blackwell’s Empire falls!” ~ Being in a loveless marriage for two years was something Clara got used to. Despite it being loveless, it was going great until her husband’s first love returned out of the blue and was carrying his child. The next minute, Clara was signing divorce papers. Not only was she divorced, she was humiliated by her husband and his family. Clara left the city and returned five years later with twins, she returned as a billionaire. Now, it was her ex-husband’s turn to chase her.…

Kaylee raised her brows and the lady shook her head in disbelief.“This is so crazy.” She muttered.“I can't believe you are the one saying that, who is crazy here?” Kaylee asked and she gasped dramatically.“What? Did I say something bad?” Kaylee asked again. “Please, go away. I don't know you, I don't know what you are talking about either. If you keep bothering me I will call the cops.” Kaylee warned and looked away from her then paid attention to her phone again. The lady didn't move or walk away, she kept staring at Kaylee. Kaylee paid less attention to her, she was used to things like this so she wasn't bothered. She gets stalked by reporters most times, it wasn't new. Suddenly Kaylen showed up next to her and tapped her, she looked up at him with a glare.“Get your fucking hands off me.” Kaylee warned and he rolled his eyes.“I am trying to be reasonable here, I... ““Oh please.” She cut him off and scoffed. “Kaylee.” He called again and tapped her.
THE NEXT DAY MORNINGSarah stared back and forth between Kaylee and Kaylem as they had breakfast. They haven't said a word to each other and Sarah has tried all she could to get them to talk to each other. Kaylen was not ready to apologize to his sister and Kaylee was not ready to talk to him without apologizing. None of their parents were at the table with them, Xavier wasn't back yet and Kathrine left the house early in the morning to go attend to a business deal.“So, how long is this going to go on?” Sarah asked but they didn't give her a response. Kaylee picked up a bottle of water and stood up, she was leaving.“Kaylee, wait.” Sarah said and she stopped, she turned to her giving her a questioning look.“Kaylen will take us to school, right?” Sarah asked, giving Kaylen a look but he ignored her. Kaylee too ignored Sarah and headed out of the house.“It's not funny anymore Kaylen, apologise to her.” Sarah raised her voice a little.“I owe her no apology.” He replied and she s
“Earth to Kaylee.” Sarah said, waving her hands in front of her and she snapped out of her thoughts. Her cheeks were so red. “Oh my God.” Sarah squealed and jumped in front of her, Kaylee blinked rapidly trying to understand what just happened. “Wow.” She muttered and exhaled. She held Sarah’s hands and they both jumped happily. Kaylee stopped jumping and suddenly frowned.“First, I am going to murder Kaylen.” She said,“Why?” “He told Bryan that I hate him.” “What?” Sarah asked and Kaylee shook her head.“That aside. Did you see that? He touched my hand and almost kissed me.” She giggled.“Yeah, and I am so sorry I interrupted. So so sorry.” She apologized again and Kaylee rolled her eyes.“Come on, it’s fine.” She replied.“Are you okay though? You know he is dating Nora and… ““I know we are not going to end up in a relationship or something like that but I am happy he finally noticed me.” She giggled in response and turned around dramatically.“I am so happy for you.” Sarah
They got to the field and Sarah walked with Kaylee towards the cheerleaders. It was just practice for their upcoming game in a week. The cheerleaders were on the field too but far away from the boys. They got to them and they all turned to Kaylee and Sarah. They all had their cheerleading outfit on except Kaylee. “Well, well, well. Seems we have a new member.” Allison said folding her arms, Kaylee fought the urge to roll her eyes. Nora was standing close to her while the rest of the cheerleaders were behind them. “Be nice.” Sarah said to Allison and she rolled her eyes.“Whatever, try to keep up.” She replied and snapped her fingers in the air dramatically. She and the rest of the cheerleaders fell into a line, and Sarah also joined them. They started to do their cheer and dance, Kaylee sighed and looked away from them. She really wasn't interested. She looked at the field and froze when she saw Bryan’s eyes on her. They made eye contact but she looked away immediately and loo
Kaylee walked into the classroom and all eyes turned to her, the teacher also stared at her a little surprised. Kaylee was always on time for class.“Kaylee.” She called, surprised.“Sorry.” Kaylee muttered and walked to her seat, she sat in front of Sarah and exhaled heavily.“Where were you? I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find you so I had to come to class. I’m sorry.” Sarah whispered as she leaned on her desk. Kaylee turned to her and smiled a little.“It's fine.” She whispered and turned to the teacher. “Are you okay?” Sarah asked. Kaylee nodded in response without turning to her. After leaving the hallway earlier, she went to the music room to get calm. She knew no one would think of searching for her there. “Where did you run off to?” She heard a familiar voice ask and she sighed knowing who it was. She turned next to her and Nora gave her a questioning look, waiting for a response to her question.Nora, Sarah, Kaylee, and Allison have most classes together, she has
TEN YEARS LATERKaylen walked down the stairs with Kaylee and Sarah trailing behind him.They walked into the dining room and met Xavier there having breakfast.“Morning, Daddy.” Kaylee greeted him and kissed his cheek. Xavier smiled at her as she took a seat next to him. Sarah greeted him too and took a seat next to him which made him in between his daughters.Xavier looked at Kaylen as he took a seat next to Sarah, he was waiting for Kaylen to greet him.“I am ignoring you intentionally.” Kaylen said as he started to eat. Xavier chuckled knowing why he was doing that, he took away his car because he was passing his curfew. “You can have your car back.” Xavier said and he looked up at him.“Good morning, Daddy.” He said happily like Kaylee always said. Kaylee shot him a glare and he rolled his eyes at her.They heard the sound of heels clicking, they all knew who it was already. They don't need to turn to look at who it is.She got into the dining room and kissed Xavier on the lips
“Here, you can have mine too.” Sarah said, putting her bread on Kaylen’s plate. Kaylen didn't give her a response, all he did was keep eating. They were all having breakfast together, Xavier, Lucy, Sarah, and the twins. Lucy decided to stay with Xavier for a while, at least till the twins were okay. Lucy had Kaylee in her arms and fed her. Xavier was confused about what to do, he kept glancing at them as he ate.It's been a few days since they moved back to California, and the kids barely talked to anyone. Sarah tried her best to cheer them up but they kept pushing her away. No matter how much they pushed her away, she still stayed around them. Xavier had been trying his best but he felt like it wasn't enough, he badly wanted them to get over the pain but he knew it wouldn't be easy. Kaylen struggled to reach the juice in the middle of the table, he stretched his hand but he couldn't reach it.“I will help you.” Sarah hurriedly said and grabbed the juice.“Stop doing that!” Kayle
A FEW DAYS LATER“You can do this, you can.” Carl assured Xavier as he stood in the living room of Clara’s mansion. They were both dressed in a tuxedo. It was Clara’s burial, Carl and Lucy came from California. Lucy showed up to help with the kids, she was getting them ready in their rooms. Dexter’s body was taken by Tokyo according to the doctors. After that day at the hospital, he never saw her again. He didn't bother to look for her, he needed to take care of his kids first. He would look for her after he is assured that his kids are okay and that will take a very long time.“I… I haven't spoken to them since Lucy arrived because I don't know what to say.” He said with his voice breaking. Carl smiled at him a little, he had never seen him so down and confused. Carl could tell he was scared.“I understand. We will figure this out.” “They are six, how will they deal with this?” Xavier asked again. Carl was about to respond when they heard footsteps, they both paid attention to
Xavier let go of Kaylen immediately after the gunshots died down, and he rushed out of the hideout and rushed toward the stage. Kaylen stood on a spot and cried. “Kaylee.” He called as he got to her, he noticed she was unconscious and panicked. He pulled her away from Dexter, her dress was covered with blood. He examined her in seconds and noticed she was fine, he rushed to Clara and bent next to her. She was gasping and struggling to breathe, he placed his hand on her wound.“Stay with me Clara, stay with me.” He said as he tried to stop the bleeding. Clara looked at him with tears in her eyes. They heard the sirens and Xavier felt relieved a little, help had arrived. “It's okay, Clara. You are going to be okay.” He assured her. ~Xavier and Kaylen stared at Kaylee on the bed. She was sleeping peacefully. Kaylen was in Xavier’s arms, Xavier managed to stop him from crying, and he assured him Clara and Dexter would be fine. A part of Xavier knew that was a lie, Clara was sho
Staring at the amazing meals in her presence, Clara smiled widely feeling satisfied. She checked the time, seeing it was almost time for her husband to get home, she giggled to herself. All she had to do was wait a few more minutes.Hours passed and her husband hadn't arrived. She wasn't so surprised, it happens frequently. “Ma’am, do you want me to clear the table? I don't think Mr. Miller will be arriving soon.” The butler asked staring at her with pity. “No, it's fine. I will wait a few more minutes, you can go to bed.” She replied. He bowed before walking away. Clara exhaled heavily as she stared at the time, it was almost midnight already. This has been going on for almost a month, and her husband has been missing dinner. Every night, she hoped it would be different, she got her hopes up hoping he would show up. She knows her husband doesn't love her, their marriage is based on a contract between their families. The reason she got married to him was to give him an heir but ...
