Everyone waited impatiently in the hallway at the hospital. Dexter and Xavier were pacing. Lucy and Carl were seated, carrying the twins.

Mr & Mrs. Blackwell weren't there, they were back at their mansion with Sarah.

It had been up to an hour that they had been waiting to get a response from the doctor, they were hoping it would be positive.

Clara wasn't breathing by the time they got her to the hospital, everyone was scared.

Kaylee kept crying in Carl’s arms while Kaylen looked like he wanted to cry but he was fighting his tears.

Kaylee sniffed loudly and Carl looked down at her, he wrapped his arms around her and stroked her hair.

“It's okay, she will be fine.” He whispered to her.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened and everyone rushed towards the doctor.

“How is she?” Xavier asked.

“Is she okay?” Dexter asked.

“We don't know for now but she is stable.” The doctor replied, staring at their worried faces.

“Wha… What happened to her?” Lucy asked.

“She was poisoned.” He repli

    “What?” Xavier asked.“I know how, I really can't explain it but I just have a feeling he did it. Why does it have to happen when he showed up? Lucy was with her all day, they all had the same thing. And when I handed her the drink, she was okay minutes later. It was after she took the drink when she was with Dexter that it happened.” Carl explained and Xavier furrowed his brows.“But he said she grabbed it off the tray of a waiter. He didn't hand it to her.” Xavier said and Carl sighed. They were back to square one. He had no idea why he kept on thinking Dexter did it.“Does the Hawkins have a camera in their ballroom?” Xavier asked Carl.“I don't know, I didn't notice.” He replied.“Fuck.” Xavier cursed. “Do you have anyone you are suspicious of?” Carl asked Xavier but he didn't give him a response. “I don't know yet. Let's just hope Clara wakes up.”“Yeah.”~THE NEXT DAY Everyone was in the hallway waiting for the doctor to walk out of the room. They were hoping to hear positi

He kept staring at her and whispering to her that he knew what she did.Lucy was confused and worried so she left. Carl and Xavier had to leave too, they had business to do and they were also investigating the situation. To cut it short, Clara was alone.

She decided to focus on her companies. As she replied to multiple emails, the door to the ward opened and Xavier walked in. She looked up at him as he closed the door and walked towards her.“Hey.” He called as he got to her.“How are you doing?” H

    PRESENTThe kids and Dexter stared at the doctor as he checked Clara. It was time for her to get discharged and the doctor wanted to check if she was okay. Some minutes later, he pulled away from her and smiled.“She is okay, you are free to go.” The doctor informed them and Kaylee giggled as she rushed to her mother.“Are you sure?” Kaylen asked as he looked up at the doctor.“Yes.”“Maybe you should check again. She… ““Kaylen, she is fine.” Dexter cut him off and he nodded. The doctor walked out of the room leaving them. “Let's go.” Kaylee said.

    Clara walked back into the study and met Dexter sitting at her table. His eyes were fixed on her table as she walked closer to him. “Has he gone?” Dexter asked as she took a seat ok the table. She was directly in front of him.“Yes.” Clara replied.“With the kids.” She added and he looked up at her.“Anastasia, you are making this too easy for him.” Dexter said and she rolled her eyes.“I am not working now, I would really love it if you call me Clara.” She replied.“Fine, you do know the weeks you were given are almost up right?” Dexter asked.“I know and I am working on it. You have nothing to worry about. Letting him spend some time with his kids isn't so bad, after the weeks are up, he will never get to see them again so let him enjoy the moment.” Clara replied and he sighed before nodding.“Have you found out who poisoned you at the party?” He asked.“Not yet but I am close.” She answered. Dexter moved closer to her and stared at her, she raised her brows, giving him a questioni

    “She is missing. She has been kidnapped.” Clara let out a chuckle and shook her head.“You are kidding right?” She asked as she dropped Kaylek carefully.“No, he is not. He called me when it happened, it was an hour ago.” Carl said.“You lost my daughter?” Clara yelled at him, he tried to talk but she beat him to it.“You let my daughter get kidnapped under your watch? What the fuck, Xavier?!” She screamed at him and moved closer to him.“I didn't want this to happen. We were together then she wanted to pee and the waitress took her to the bathroom, that was where she was taken.” He hurriedly said.“You couldn't follow her to the bathroom?” She yelled. Kaylen started to cry out loud, Dexter carried him in his arms.Clara ran her hands through her hair, she couldn't think straight.“Do you know who took her? Has anyone called for a ransom or something?” Clara asked.“The waitress with her said she couldn't see the person and no one has called.” Carl replied. He knew Xavier couldn't r

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. She couldn't trust anyone anymore, she had been hurt these past few months because she trusted everyone she met. “Have it your way, then.” Dexter added and stood up.“In a few minutes, you will be taken to a better room where you will get cleaned up and changed. When you are done, we will talk over a meal about what use you are to us.” He said. Clara got curious about one thing and she asked immediately.“Is this organization yours?” She asked and Dexter chuckled.“No, I work for them too.” He replied and walked out of the room. Clara exhaled heavily and looked around the room, how does she keep leaving a mess to get into another? When will she finally be free? ~PRESENT

    Immediately Xavier walked out of the door, Clara turned to Dexter with a questioning look but he ignored it. “I will get Kaylee to bed first.” She said and walked upstairs. “Fuck.” Dexter muttered, Xavier kept ruining things for him and it was getting on his nerves. The only reason he couldn't do anything about it was because Clara was connected to him. Whatever he does will affect Clara and her kids.In minutes, Clara returned to the living room. To get Kaylee to sleep was easy, all she had to do was assure her that she was safe.“I am listening.” She said and stood in front of Dexter.“What?” He asked. He knew what she was talking about but he wasn't ready to have the conversation with her.“What the hell was that? What was he talking about?” Clara asked.“I don't know what you are talking about.” Dexter replied and was about to walk away but she rushed towards him and blocked his path.“Yes, you do.

She was about to ask another question but he spoke up before her.“But I will be explaining when we get back tonight.” Dexter added, she raised her brows curiously.“Where are we going tonight?” She asked.“Tonight, you will be doing the first thing the organization wants you to do for them.” He replied.“What is that?” Clara asked. Dexter looked down at the documents with him, he pulled out one and stretched it to her. Clara took it and read it carefully. Her eyes widened in shock, she looked up at him.“You guys want me to steal a diamond at an auction? Isn't that wrong and illegal?” Clara asked, Dexter chuckled as he took the papers from her.“Did I mention the organization was legal?” Dexter asked back and she sighed. She started to feel restless, she wasn't so relaxed anymore. She thought she was safe already and she would have a normal life back. Just when she thinks things are getting better,

He carried the tray from the table and moved closer to the bed, he dropped it next to her. In the process, his hand touched her and she whimpered. She recalled what happened a day ago, she had flashbacks and she shut her eyes in fear. She felt the hairs on her body erect as she felt shivers.Xavier furrowed his brows as he stared at her, he wondered what was wrong with her.“Please, don't touch me.” She whispered as her voice broke.
