Clara had a smile on her face as she walked down the stairs. She heard her kids talking, more like an argument. It was coming from the dining room.

She walked into the room and they both paused when they saw her.

“Are you both going to tell me what this argument is about?” She asked as she took a seat in between them.

“You are going out?” Kaylen asked with a frown as he noticed her outfit.

“Yes.” Clara replied as she dished her meal.

“Why?” He asked.

“Because I have a business meeting.”

“Are you going to keep us indoors here too? I think we deserve to go out.” Kaylee said.

“Yes, Clara.” Kaylen said sternly and she shot him a glare. Her children are nothing alike, Kaylee is calm, kind, smart, and loving while Kaylen is the opposite. He is smart too, he is just playful and stubborn.

“You guys will go out, a lot. Just anticipate, I have so much in store for both of you.” She said with a smile and Kaylee giggled while Kaylen rolled his eyes.

    Clara moaned in her sleep, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She noticed Dexter sitting on a couch a little bit far from the bed. He had a book with him, and he was reading. “You are awake.” He said without turning to her. Clara looked around the room, it was a different room from the one she was in during the day. This looked different and so better, the King sized bed, the luxurious furniture in it. Everything looked beautiful but they were mostly in black.“It's my room by the way. I can tell you are wondering.” He said again without looking up at her. She wondered how he knew what she was thinking about. She closed her eyes as she tried to recall what happened, seconds later, it came flooding in and her eyes snapped open immediately. She started to panic. She killed someone and she saw Dexter shoot someone too. She would go to jail or probably get killed. She started to breathe heavily and Dexter finally looked up at her.“You have nothing to worry about, the org

It could be anywhere in the suite, the room was huge.She decided to ask questions that could make things easier for her.“I heard you have an auction to run in a few minutes.” Clara said as he was about to start running his hands on her.“Hmm.” He moaned in response and started to kiss her neck. He was about to get on her when she recalled Rita’s lessons. In situations like this, she should be in control so things can be easier for her.“Lay back and let me do my job.” She managed to say seductively. Like an excited child, Mr. Brown pulled away from her and fell back on the bed.“Tell me about this auction.” She said as she got on him. She ran her hands on his body and he moaned.“I will be selling a fake diamond to a fool and make a lot of money from it.” He chuckled. Clara faked a smile and nodded. She looked at the time on the watch, she had eighteen minutes left. She

He was surprised a little, he wasn't expecting her to call his name back or accept her new name so easily.“Anastasia?” He called again, raising a brow.“It's Clara. Sorry, yes?” She said and he chuckled. Of course, she hasn't gotten to it yet, she was just trying to put on an act. “It's okay. You will get used to it.” Dexter replied, and she nodded in response. He ran his eyes on her which made her uncomfortable a little, he looked up at her and held her gaze.“What are we doing tonight?” He asked.“Stealing a diamond at an auction.” She replied sharply.

Due to fear, Clara moved to the edge of the bed which made Dexter chuckle.“It's okay. I won't hurt you.” He assured her but she didn't trust him. She remained at the edge of the bed.
