“I told you, Lucy, try to keep up.” She said and Lucy screamed again.“Try to keep up? Really? This was what you meant when you said I should keep up? What the fuck Clara? I should keep up with you killing people?” She yelled and Clara rolled her eyes.“Can you keep it down? I am having a meeting here.” Clara said and Lucy stared at her in disbelief.This wasn't the Clara she knew. Although they weren't so familiar with each other she knew Clara was a sweet and naive person. What the hell happened to her? What happened within five years?“Clara… ““Shut up.” She cut Lucy off and she kept quiet immediately. “Anastasia… “ Diablo trailed off as she shot him in the head. Lucy watched in horror as the man fell dead and blood gushed out of his house. Suddenly the door opened revealing Xavier and Carl. They were both surprised to see Clara and Lucy but Clara wasn't surprised to see them. Xavier raised his brows seeing the gun in Clara's hand.“What are you guys doing here?” Carl asked, wa
PRESENT Clara noticed Xavier was following her and she drove faster. It wasn't easy driving high, she was glad it was in the middle of the night and the street was empty. Xavier finally caught up with her and stopped the car in front of hers which made her stop. He got out of the car and she got out too.“Ugh. For Christ’s sake, what the fuck do you want Xavier?” She asked, moving closer to him.“What is wrong with you? What the hell happened back there?” He asked as he got to her. She looked at him and rolled her eyes.“What happened was exactly what you saw.” She replied and turned to leave but he pulled her closer to himself and held her. He noticed her pupils were dilated, he raised his brows. She tried to pull away from him but his grip on her was firm.“You are high as fuck.” He said.“Yeah, thanks to your sister.” She rolled her eyes. “What happened to you Clara? Why are you like this? Why are you killing people? Why did you burn my warehouse?” He asked. She scoffed and for
THE NEXT DAY Clara walked out of the plane with a satisfied look on, she was back in California. Getting rid of Diablo was the only reason she traveled to Las Vegas. She got into her car and let out a breath, she missed her children a lot and couldn't wait to see them. It has only been a few days but it felt like it has been weeks apart from them. She never stays away from her kids. She missed Dexter too, she hadn't seen him in over a year. He is as busy as she was. After what seemed like forever, they arrived at her mansion. She got out of the car and walked into the house. She heard squeals immediately after she got in and her children rushed to her. She bent to their level and hugged them tightly.“I missed you guys so much.” She said as she held them. “We missed you too.” They giggled in response.“Welcome back.” She heard a voice say. She pulled away from her children and looked up to see Dexter. They both smiled at each other as they pulled themselves into a hug.Clara ch
“Good morning mummy.” Kaylee said walking into the dining room. She was sipping a cup of coffee and sitting next to Dexter.“Morning baby.” Clara replied as she took a gulp.“Morning Dexter.” She said with a smile and moved to him, he carried her on his lap and she placed her head on his chest.“How was your night, princess?” He asked and she replied with a wide smile. “Where is Kaylen?” Clara asked.“Here.” He replied walking into the dining room. His eyes were fixed on his phone as he walked.“I will take that. Thank you.” Clara said and took his phone from him.“Hey. Clara, why will you do that?” He yelled. She shot him a glare and he rolled his eyes. “Dexter.” He called and Dexter smiled at him. He moved close to Dexter and he also carried him on his laps. They were both on his lap and he fed them.Clara smiled as she watched them, she was grateful she had Dexter. Ever since they met, he has always treated her kids like they were his, he buys them lots of gifts and takes care of
PRESENT Xavier sighed as he went through the huge files in his presence, he was in his study trying to focus on work but he just couldn't stop thinking about Clara. He kept trying to figure out what happened to her.He already heard one of his men do a check on what she has been up to for the past five years but he couldn't figure out anything. It was a dead end. He couldn't get the image of her flipping Carl over her shoulder or holding a gun out of his head. He has been asking himself the same question over and over again since they got back from Las Vegas. What the hell happened to Clara within five years? Is she doing all this because she wants to get back at him? Is she up to something else? Who the hell is she now?“Dad.” Xavier heard and felt a soft hand on his, he snapped out of his thoughts and noticed his daughter next to him. She looked sleepy.“Hey.” He called softly and carried her on his lap. She placed her head on his chest and yawned.“Why are you up?” Xavier aske
“We have a father?” Kaylen asked and Kaylee turned to him.“No, we fell from heaven.” Kaylee replied sarcastically and Kaylen glared at her.“He is our father?” Kaylee asked, staring at Xavier.“Really Lucy? You had to show up with them?” Clara snapped at Lucy and she gasped dramatically.“Don't yell at me. They wanted to come because they saw all of you come this way.” She replied.“Great. They know now, are you happy?” Clara yelled at Xavier and he sighed. He had no idea things were going to turn out this way.Clara walked towards her kids but Xavier held her hand.“Clara, wait… “ “Get your hands off her.” Dexter cut him off and pushed him roughly. Before Dexter could blink, Xavier punched him hard and he fell to the floor. Dexter stood up immediately and punched him back, they both started throwing punches at each other.“Both of you, stop it.” Carl yelled getting in between them. He pulled Xavier away from Dexter and pinned him to the wall.“Get it together man, the reporters
“Clara.” Dexter called repeatedly as they got out of the car and headed into the mansion.“Clara.” He called again as they got in with the kids, but she ignored him.“Clara, wait.” He said and held her hand, she turned to him and glared at him.“What? What is it?” She snapped at him. Kaylen held Kaylee’s hand and pulled her away from them. They stood a little bit far from them and watched them as they yelled at each other.“You need to calm down. It's not my fault.” He said and Clara scoffed.“It's not your fault? You fucking started it!” She snapped at him.“I was trying to help you.” Dexter yelled back.“11«And how did that turn out? They found out in the worst way ever.” Clara yelled and Dexter furrowed his brows. He was getting upset.“Well, it wouldn't have been that bad if you had told them earlier.” “What the fuck? They are five, they are still kids. How was I supposed to tell them? Your father divorced me when I got pregnant and I managed to survive for five years without hi
PRESENT MORNINGClara walked into the dining room and paused when she saw Lucy and her children having breakfast. They noticed her presence and looked up at her.“Good morning.” Her children chorused and smiled at her, she nodded at them and took a seat. “Here you go, mummy.” Kaylee said and handed her a cup of coffee.“Thank you.” Clara muttered as she took a gulp. The room was silent, everyone was having breakfast, and no one was ready to speak.A few minutes later, Lucy broke the silence.“I hope you don't mind that I am here.” Lucy said, Clara looked up at her and shook her head.“Okay.” She muttered and looked at her kids.“Then I will make a proper introduction.” She said and looked at Clara for approval, she nodded at her and Lucy gave an exciting smile.“I am Lucy, which you already know and I am your aunt. Your father’s younger sister.” She introduced herself with a smile.“We figured that out last night. We made a family tree too. So, you are our aunt, then the man with ou
“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.
“Xavier, stop him.” Lucy said as he was getting closer to Clara.“Clara won't say anything to him, if she wanted to, she would have the first time she saw them.” Xavier replied and Lucy groaned. She pulled Xavier a few feet away from Kaylee and Sarah.“This is not about her telling him. Almost fifty percent of people in this room know who Clara is and the twins are her children. If they see them together, they will start talking and he will hear. Do you want him to find out that she is his mother from strangers?” Lucy asked and Xavier looked at Kaylen. He was already a few steps from Clara.“Well, let’s hope that doesn't happen.” He said and Lucy turned.“Shit.” She muttered. She was about to speak when she noticed their parents coming towards them.“Did you inform them that she is alive?” Lucy asked.“I forgot.” Xavier replied and she shook her head at him. Mr. & Mrs. Blackwell got to them and started to ask different questions.Kaylen got to Clara and her face lit up immediately she
It was finally the day of the first ball of the season, everyone was excited about it. Kaylee had been busy making Clara’s dress and she was finally done.Kathrine’s dress was delivered a day before the ball, she loved her dress so much and it looked like it would be the best but she was still so curious to see what Clara’s dress looked like. Kaylen has been busy with Mr. Blackwell getting ready to welcome the guests properly, and Xavier and Carl have been busy planning a way to make the ball go peacefully. They doubled the security that would be present at the mansion as also has the estate surrounded by the cops. They weren't sure if it was Tokyo’s organization or Clara that would try to attack the ball. Either way, they were prepared for the worst. Sarah hasn't been doing anything. Mr. Blackwell had nothing for her, it had always been like that for years. It was sad at first but she got used to it, although she feels bad sometimes but she tries to take her mind off it.She has n
THE NEXT DAY Kaylen walked down the stairs dressed in his uniform, he walked to the dining room and met everyone having breakfast. Sarah was dressed in her uniform too but Kaylee wasn't. She wasn't having breakfast either, she was busy with her sketchbook. Kaylen took a seat next to her and stared at her. Last night was weird for them but no one was talking about it. Kaylen looked at Xavier, he was paying full attention to his meal.“Aren't you going to school? Why are you not ready?” Kaylen asked Kaylee.“Yeah, I am not going.” She replied without looking up at him.“Why? What are you doing?”“I am making a dress for the ball.” She replied and Kathrine looked up at her.“Oh, you are still making my dress?” She asked and Kaylee looked at her.“No, yours is ready. You will get it tonight.” She replied and Kathrine furrowed her brows.“But my dress is always the last you make, whose dress is it?” Kathrine asked.“Clara’s.” Kaylee replied and paid attention to her book again. Kathrine
As the cars were about to clash, Clara hit the brakes and turned the car, she pulled out a gun and pointed it at the car.“Boom.” She muttered and pulled the trigger. She shot the headlight of the car. It lost control and the car spun around. Clara drove away from it and stopped the car when they were far from it.“Are you guys… “She trailed off as she turned to them due to how they were staring at her. They looked surprised, terrified, and other emotions Clara couldn't point out. “I know, my first time, I was terrified too but not as much as both of you look like now.” She chuckled.“Let me take a pic.” She said and picked up her phone, she took a picture of them and stared at it.“You guys look so cute.” She giggled and looked at them. They kept staring, they were too shocked to speak. They just watched her shoot a car and almost kill them. It was a lot to them. “I better get you guys home before your father loses it.” She said and turned away from them. “I know where the house
Kaylee and Kaylen got in the car with Clara, she ignited the car and drove roughly out of the parking lot.Clara looked through the mirror and noticed a black car after them, the kids looked back too, and noticed a car was after them.“What the hell is going on?” Kaylen yelled.“We are getting chased.” Clara replied as she kept driving.“We can see that. I mean what is actually going on? Why are we being chased?” Kaylee yelled.“We? I am very sure they are not after us but her!” Kaylen yelled back.“Yes, they see after me.” “Then fucking drop us off and let them keep chasing you.” Kaylen replied.“I can't do that.” She replied as she glanced at the mirror and drove.“Why?” Kaylee asked.“Because they are after you both now.” She replied. Kaylen looked back to see the car catching up to them and looked at his sister.“Kaylee, this is crazy. We are in a car with a crazy lady who we don't know and we are getting chased by someone!” Kaylen raised his voice.“I am calling daddy.” Kaylee s
Clara was about to speak when Kaylee’s phone beeped. She walked to her table and picked it up.“Oh, shit.” She muttered as she read the text.“What's wrong?” Clara asked, walking closer to her.“My aunt was supposed to pick me up but she can't make it here.” Kaylee replied without looking up from her phone.“Oh, so what are you going to do?”“I am texting my brother. He will pick me up.”“Okay.” Clara replied and kept staring at her.She was glad she would get to see Kaylen too.“He said he will be here in an hour. He is busy too.” She said and dropped her phone.“Our grandpa makes him study a lot about business because he is the heir. It's always so funny because it's so boring to him. Right now, he is learning things about our grandpa’s special guests.” Kaylee chuckled and Clara smiled.“Do you just talk about your family to random people?” Clara asked and her smile faded slowly.“No, I don't talk to people.” She replied.“I don’t know why I just told you all that.” She muttered and
