Xavier and Carl walked into their suite. After they met with Mr. Vasilyev, they hung around for a few hours before heading to their hotel. Immediately Xavier got in, he set to work. He was on his laptop, going through his emails. “Ugh, I have so much work to do.” He groaned. Carl chuckled and ignored him. Minutes later, Xavier rang and he glanced at the caller. It was a strange number. He decided to ignore it since he had a lot to do. Immediately the call ended, and it started to ring again. He sighed as he picked up his phone and answered the call. “Xavier?” He heard a familiar voice call and he raised his brows.“Kaylen.” He replied and Carl glanced at him.“Hey, Xavier.” Kaylen called again, the excitement in his voice was obvious.“How are you?” Xavier asked.“I am fine. I got your number from Lucy, Mum wouldn't give us. I am calling you from the landline in Mum’s study.” “I memorized your number already.” He added with a chuckle and Xavier smiled.“Don't tell mum I called.”
“In two weeks.” She replied and pulled away from him, she smiled at him and he shot her a glare.“Mr. Blackwell.” Mr. Vasilyev called, getting his attention and he looked up at him.“Yes?”“I was just telling your partner how honored I am to have you here.” He replied and all Xavier did was nod and look away. Of course, Vasilyev would have heard of him and know what he is capable of. Clara noticed Flora couldn't take her eyes off Xavier, when Xavier noticed her stare, he stared back at her which made her cheek heat up. Clara scoffed loudly and rolled her eyes, it got everyone’s attention and they turned to her.She smiled at them and they all looked away.“Excuse me, I have to welcome some guests.” Mr. Vasilyev said and walked away leaving them at the table. Clara gave Lucy a look, she understood immediately and stood up.“I need to use the restroom.” She lied and walked away. Carl chuckled and looked at Clara, she raised her brows at him before looking away.Suddenly, music starte
“Clara.” Lucy called as she packed her things.“Clara.” Lucy called again. She called her name repeatedly but Clara ignored her.“Clara!” She raised her voice. Clara groaned and exhaled heavily before turning to her.“What?” “How the hell did you make me kill a man? You have to tell me, I was sure I didn't do anything to him.” Lucy said worriedly.“Great, then stop being worried.” Clara replied and continued packing her things. Lucy exhaled heavily and walked away from the bed, she sat on the couch and buried her face in her palms. Clara glanced at her, she rolled her eyes before walking towards her. She got to her and stared down at her.“You poisoned him at his party.” Clara said and Lucy looked up at her.“What? But… but I didn't put anything in his drink.”“Yes, but you handed him the poisoned drink.” “When?” She asked, confused.“That is all I can tell you, you don't need to know the details.” Clara replied and walked back to the bed. Lucy paused and thought about it, if sh
Clara sighed in relief as the plane landed, she walked out of the plane with Lucy. As they got out, Clara noticed her children were waiting for her by the car including Dexter.“Awwn, they came. That is so sweet.” Rita said as they walked towards them. The kids noticed their presence too and rushed toward them screaming happily.“Mummy.” Kaylee screamed happily. Kaylen got to Clara first and she caught him as he jumped on her, she laughed and spun him around. She dropped him and caught Kaylee just in time. Kaylee giggled as Clara spun her around too.“We missed you, mummy.” She said,“I missed you guys too.” Clara replied. Kaylen hugged Lucy and she carried him.The kids started to ask different questions about her trip as they walked towards the car, and Clara kept answering them. Clara carried Kaylee while Lucy carried Kaylen.They got to Dexter and Clara exchanged greetings with him, he ignored Lucy and she rolled her eyes.Dexter got into another car leaving Clara and Lucy in
“Come on, just tell me what day it is.” Xavier said. Dexter shook his head in response.“If Clara wants you to know about it then she would have told you herself. I can't tell you.” He replied. Xavier sighed and moved closer to him.“Hey, don't come close to me.” Dexter said and took a step back.“Come on, Dexter.”“Why are you asking me of all people? I am not the only one who knows.” Dexter scoffed.“Because you know everything about them.” He replied, Dexter smirked as a thought popped up in his head. He decided to get Xavier mad a little.“Of course, I know everything about them. I was at the hospital when she gave birth to them. Do you know she had no idea she was carrying twins? I was the first to know.” He said with a smile, Xavier knew what he was trying to do so he tried his best to stay calm.“Don't do that.” He said but Xavier ignored him.“Do you know Kaylen is five minutes older than Kaylee? Oh, of course, you don't know. You were not there.” He mocked.Xavier clenched hi
“It's my birthday. It's my birthday.” Kaylee sang repeatedly as she walked down the stairs. She got up very early due to how excited she was. She always gets up early on her birthdays before everyone else. She got to the living room and froze seeing Xavier seated on the couch. He was going through his phone and he looked up at her with a smile. Next to him were different boxes and bags.“Happy Birthday baby!” Xavier said happily and she giggled before rushing to him. He carried her in his arms as she got to him and kissed her face repeatedly. Kaylee giggled happily as he did.“You are here so early.” She said and he nodded.“Hmm, your mum told me you are always up early on your birthdays so I decided to show up earlier.” He replied.“Wow, mummy talked to you? Thought she was mad at you.” Kaylee replied, Xavier smiled and shook his head.“Let's not talk about that. It's your birthday, today is all about you and your brother.”“Okay, I am so excited. It's our first birthday around a
Everyone was in the Blackwell's mansion, the party had started already but the twins weren't in the ballroom yet. According to Mr. Blackwell, he wanted them to have a grand entrance. Clara was sick and tired of being in the room with them, she made her way out of the living room and headed towards the garden. She was familiar with the Blackwell's mansion. She got to the garden and exhaled heavily, she could hear the music coming from the ballroom although it was faint. She looked up at the sky and exhaled heavily, she was happy for her kids but not so much. This wasn't what she pictured before returning to the city.She recalled how her life was with the Blackwells years ago, the first year of her marriage was amazing but it all changed after that. Now, they are being nice to her again because of her kids.“I know you hate this but can you at least pretend to be happy for our kids?” She heard a voice ask and she turned to see Xavier walking towards her with his hands in his pants
“He is here.” Clara said with a smile as she sat up properly. Lucy stared at the man she was referring to, trying to see if she knew who it was but she didn't. The man suddenly walked to Xavier and Sarah, Xavier looked up at him. He recognized him immediately.“Mr. Blackwell.” The man called with a smile.“I believe you know who I am already and what I am here for.” The man said, Xavier put on a stern look.“Get out.” He ordered. “I am afraid I can't leave until I get what I came here for.” He replied.“And what is that? I believe you have no business here so leave before I get the guards to throw you out.” Xavier warned.He ignored Xavier’s warning and looked at Sarah, he smiled at her. She didn't smile back at him, she noticed Xavier didn't appreciate his presence so she had no reason to be nice to him.“That isn't a nice way to greet your elders.” He said to Sarah. Xavier stood up and stood in front of Sarah.“Get out before you make a scene.” Xavier warned again. “I am not leav
“For fuck’s sake how hard is it to put a bullet in a fucking head?!” Clara yelled and her kids flinched.“If you are busy, we can just come back.” Kaylee said.“What? No. I am not busy, this is the perfect time.” Clara said with a smile. One of her men walked to her and bowed. Clara sighed before turning to him.“Just leave. All of you.” She ordered.“Yes, ma’am.” He replied and headed out with the rest of the men.“What… What about the man they shot?” Kaylee stuttered.“Oh, don't worry about that.”“So why are you guys here?” Clara asked.“Oh, Kaylen wanted to see you.” Kaylee replied. Clara looked at Kaylen and gave him a questioning look.“Right. I… I wanted to apologize for last night. I am sorry.” Kaylen apologized. Clara was surprised he apologized, she was expecting something else. Something mean from him.“Did Xavier make you do this?” She asked.“No.” Kaylen replied and looked at Kaylee, he was confused. “It's because you are so stubborn and arrogant, you don't always feel
THE NEXT DAY Kaylen walked out of his room and paused when he saw his father pacing the hallway. He looked lost in thought, he didn't notice Kaylen’s presence.“Dad?” Kaylen called. Xavier paused and looked up at him.“Oh, hey Kaylen.” He replied. Kaylen raised his brows and slowly walked to him.“What are you doing?”“Waiting for Kaylee. I need to apologize.” He replied. Kaylen realized he was pacing in front of Kaylee’s room.“Oh, she left very early this morning. It's the weekend remember? She is always busy with shoots on weekends.” “Oh, I forgot about that.” Xavier muttered and ran his hand through his hair.“I… I will head there. Do you know where her shoot is being held?” Xavier asked.“Dad, stop bothering yourself. It's Kaylee, your sweet girl. She is not mad at you.” Kaylen assured him but he wasn't relieved. He really needed to apologize to her, he didn't know his father was going to hit her.“It wasn't you that hit her, it was Grandpa. Stop worrying too much.” Xavier nod
They all stared at Clara as she started to eat, she didn't pay attention to them. They all looked away from her slowly and then continued eating. Mrs. Blackwell shook her head and dropped her fork loudly.“I can't take this. She has to leave.” Mrs. Blackwell said and Clara looked up with her mouthful of chicken.“I can't leave, Kaylee invited me.” She said with a mouthful and Sarah chuckled, finding it funny.“You think this is funny?” Mrs. Blackwell snapped at her and she flinched.“Grandma, please.” Kaylee pleaded. She exhaled heavily and tried to continue eating. Over the years, Mrs. Blackwell started to love Kaylee and Kaylen. Clara was out of the way so it was easy for her to love them. “A lot is going on.” Clara shook her head and continued eating.“You shouldn't eat like an animal you know? We know the food is so good, it is the best thing you have tasted after being dead for ten years.” Lucy said. Clara turned to her and stared at her. Lucy was expecting a response but she
As they had lunch, everyone at the table kept staring at Kaylee.No one got in trouble after the fight because there was no teacher around but everyone kept talking about it.“Fuck it, I am just going to ask questions. Who taught you all that?” Max asked and everyone turned to him.“What? Everyone is curious.” He shrugged.“Clara.” Kaylee replied.“When? How the hell did you learn that so fast?” Sarah asked.“She is actually a good teacher. I spent yesterday with her.”“So you lied.” Kaylen said, Kaylee looked at him. He wasn't looking so happy, he looked mad.“Not really. I had a shoot too.” She replied.“Wait, who is Clara?” Max asked.“Our mother.” Kaylen muttered in response and the boys around the table gasped.“I… I thought your mother died when she gave birth to you guys.” Beck stuttered.“Long story.” Kaylee replied. Bryan ran his hand on her shoulders trying to comfort her and she smiled at him.“Can I meet her? I would like her to teach me everything she taught Kaylee. She i
“Hey, that’s better.” Clara said as Kaylee’s punch hit her and she felt the pain.“Really?” Kaylee giggled and clapped her hands happily.“Does this mean I can beat you in a fight now?” Kaylee gasped and Clara chuckled.“Easy now.” She replied. Kaylee smiled and walked to her bag, she picked up a bottle of water and gulped it. Clara watched her as she did, Kaylee noticed Clara’s stare and gave her a questioning look as she dropped the bottle.“What?” Kaylee asked as she tried to catch her breath.“Nothing.” Clara muttered and shook her head.“I can tell you want to say something. What is it?” Kaylee asked, moving closer to her.“You really don't remember anything about me?” Clara asked softly. This is the calmest Kaylee has seen her but she couldn't tell if she was sad. Kaylee shook her head in response and Clara sighed.“I’m sorry.” Kaylee apologized.“It's not your fault. It fucking Xavier’s fault.” Clara said and rolled her eyes.“I… I wouldn't blame him though. He was scared, c
“I can't believe you were with him for that long.” Sarah giggled and Kaylee nodded happily. “Yeah, me too. I kept pinching myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming. Anytime he sees me doing that, he holds my hand and assures me it's real.” Kaylee squealed and Sarah laughed.They were both having a free period and Kaylee decided to tell Sarah all about last night.“Enough of that. How are you doing?” Kaylee asked with a stern look and Sarah sighed.“I should be asking you the same question. Yesterday was crazy.” Sarah replied, Kaylee nodded in response and bit her lip as she thought about the whole situation again.“Have you talked to Daddy?” Kaylee asked. “Yes, last night.” “And?” “As much as it hurts, I will try to get over it. He has never made me feel like he wasn't my father, if Clara didn't say anything, I would never know.” Sarah said sadly and Kaylee placed a hand on her shoulder. She pulled Sarah to herself and kissed her hair.“I apologize on behalf of my crazy mother.” Kayle
“Where is mum?” She asked. “I don't know and honestly, I don't care.” Xavier replied.“Oh.” Sarah muttered and sighed.“You should go to bed, I will wait for Kaylee.” Xavier said and kissed her forehead. She smiled at him before heading up to her room. Xavier walked down the stairs, walked out of the house, and took a seat on the porch as he waited for Kaylee. An hour passed and Kaylee hadn't shown up yet, he was resisting the urge to call her. After waiting for a few more minutes, he decided to call her when a car drove in. The car pulled over and Kaylee walked out with Bryan. Xavier sighed in relief.“Mr… Mr. Blackwell.” Bryan stuttered nervously and bowed.“I… I… we… ““Thank you, Bryan.” Xavier cut him off with a smile and he nodded. Xavier knew him, he and Kaylen had been best friends for years. Bryan turned to Kaylee and slowly hugged her, she hugged him back and he pulled away after a few seconds.“Thank you.” She muttered and he nodded before getting into his car. Kaylee
Clara continued to laugh, ignoring what Lucy said. “Oh my God.” She muttered as she laughed. They all kept watching her like she was crazy. She looked at Kathrine and tried to stop laughing.“Okay, that’s enough.” She said and kept a stern look immediately.“It's like there is a fucking switch in her head that controls everything she does.” Carl whispered to Lucy and she nodded, agreeing with him.“You can speak now.” Clara said.Kathrine turned to Sarah immediately and tried to hug her but Sarah walked away. Kathrine called after her as she rushed to her. “So, now that all that is settled.” Clara said and Lucy scoffed. She walked towards her and stood in front of her. Lucy was intimidated but she tried so hard to not show it. “Just like you said Clara, history is repeating itself and you are right but you were wrong about one thing, the difference. Eleven years ago, you were the victim and Xavier was the villain but here you are the villain. No matter how much you try to tell you
“What? What? What?!” Kaylee yelled.“Daddy, she is lying, right? She is just messing around like she always does. Right?!” Kaylee yelled and Xavier stuttered as he thought of what to say. Clara looked down at her dress and ran her hands on her body dramatically. She ran her hands on her hair too like she was trying to fix it.“Do I look that bad? Am I not pretty enough?” She muttered. She wondered why Kaylee was mad.“She looks like me, she is just freaking out. You are beautiful Clara.” She said to herself and giggled.Kaylen’s eyes widened in shock at her act. She was being so dramatic and acting crazy.“She is our mother?” Kaylen asked.“You both need to calm down, I... ““Don't tell them to calm down.” Clara said and they all looked at her.“Yell all you want, it is allowed.” She said with a smile to them and Lucy groaned.“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” Lucy muttered.Carl was about to speak when Clara suddenly yelled and clapped her hands. Again, they all turned to her.
