“Oh my God.” Carl muttered.

“Xavier.” He called and turned to see him frozen.

“Clara is back?” Kathrine asked but didn't get a response from anyone.

“Mummy?” Kaylee called, the stares were getting too much.

“It's okay. Just give it a few more minutes.” She said as she pulled her children to a table. She helped them sit and she sat next to them.

Soon, the stares died down but everyone kept whispering as they passed.

Her children also heard some of the murmurs and the were curious but decided not to talk about it.

Soon, the party started and most couples walked to the dance floor. Clara could feel the Blackwell's eyes on her, the whole family was staring at her.

“Mum, can I go and dance over there?” Kaylen asked, pointing in a direction. Clara looked in that direction and noticed it was kids their age.

She was about to decline but thought about it, they needed a social life.

“Take your sister with you.” Clara replied and they both looked at Kaylee who seemed nervous.

They got into the car and her phone rang, she saw the caller and picked up the call immediately.“I saw pictures, you are trending in and out of the city. Is this part of it? Or you are getting distracted?” The caller asked.“You gave me three weeks. Do you not trust me anymore?” Clara asked back. She heard nothing from the caller again and the call ended.“Mummy, I’m tired.” Kaylee said and moved closer to her.“It's okay baby.” Clara replied and wrapped her arms around her.~“I am talking to you Xavier.

    “Don’t you dare!” She said sternly.“I get that you are mad but… ““You get that I am mad? Really?” She scoffed.“Clara, calm down. We can talk about this.”“Talk about what? There is nothing to talk about, they are not your kids, they are mine!” She snapped at him.“You told me to get rid of them years ago, you can say they are yours now.”“I know and I am glad you didn't listen to me. I’m sorry about everything, let’s sort this out.” He said and Clara let out a chuckle. She walked away from him and chuckled again as she tried to stay calm. She was fighting every urge to lose herself and yell.“You are sorry? Really Xavier?” She asked softly and she turned to him again. Xavier nodded and moved closer to her. They held each other’s gaze as they fell silent for seconds. “I’m sorry, Clara.” He apologized again.Seeing how calm she was, Xavier was glad he was able to get to her. After all these years, it's still the same soft-hearted Clara he knows. “Fuck you.” She said to him and pul

    “Mummy, you still haven't told us where we see going yet.” Kaylee said as her mother helped her with her hair in the living room.“Yeah. Where are we going? Are we going to be going to balls every night?” Kaylen asked as he stared at his tuxedo on him.“I look amazing.” He added and chuckled.“We are attending a family dinner.” Clara said.“What family?” Kaylee asked.“The Blackwells.” “Who are the Blackwells?” Kaylen asked.“Just a family I knew a long time ago. I got invited to their dinner.” Clara replied and they nodded. They didn't ask any more questions again. She loved that about them, they don't get too curious about things.

He was about to head out when the door opened and Carl walked in.Xavier wasn't expecting him, they were supposed to meet at work. Judging from the look on his face, he could tell something was wrong. Kathrine shot Carl a glare, she kissed her teeth before walking out of the living room.“What's wrong?” Xavier asked.“Last week we got a new source for our shipment to California and it has been going well with the source right?” Carl said.“Yeah. The Gustavo twins. What's the problem? Did the shipping go wrong?”“They are dead, Xavier.” Carl replied and Xavier raised his brows.“They are murdered before this morning.”“What?”“It's so crazy, man. They weren't together last night, Thane had a meeting in New York while Dennis was in Houston. They were in different places and w

She groaned and fell on the bed immediately.“Ugh, I am so exhausted.” She whined.“No one asked you to come along.” Clara replied as she went around the suite.“But you need me.” Lucy replied as she relaxed on the bed.“No, I don't.” Clara replied walking back to her and she rolled her eyes. “I know, but you might need me.” She said but Clara didn't give her a response as she started to unpack her bag.“So what type of business are you here for?” Lucy asked, sitting up.“None of your business.” Clara replied.“Why are you being cold all of a sudden?” “Go to bed, Lucy.” Clara replied and made her way into the bathroom.~THE NEXT DAYLucy heard laughter from her sleep, she slowly opened her eyes to see Clara on the couch laughing as she stared at her phone.

    They headed to the club, Lucy shrugged off what Clara said. It wasn't so important. The drive was about twenty minutes before Clara pulled over in front of a building. It looked abandoned on the outside which made Lucy doubt if it was really a club. They got out of the car and headed to the entrance.“I have been to hundreds of clubs in my life and I know what a club looks like. Are you sure this is one?” Lucy asked and Clara chuckled.“Just watch.” She replied. They got to the entrance and met two huge men, Clara pulled out a card and handed it to them. They checked it and looked at her then Lucy before handing it back to her. “Welcome to the Valley.” One of the guards said and opened the door for them, they walked in. Lucy looked around, it was a long hallway, and at the end of it was an elevator. “Clara.” She called as they got to the elevator. “Give it a few more seconds.” Clara replied and pressed the button on the elevator. It moved downwards and in seconds, it opened.

    “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

    “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.

    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.

    “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

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.

    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

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.

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
