    “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

    “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.

    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

    Staring at the amazing meals in her presence, Clara smiled widely feeling satisfied. She checked the time, seeing it was almost time for her husband to get home, she giggled to herself. All she had to do was wait a few more minutes.Hours passed and her husband hadn't arrived. She wasn't so surprised, it happens frequently. “Ma’am, do you want me to clear the table? I don't think Mr. Miller will be arriving soon.” The butler asked staring at her with pity. “No, it's fine. I will wait a few more minutes, you can go to bed.” She replied. He bowed before walking away. Clara exhaled heavily as she stared at the time, it was almost midnight already. This has been going on for almost a month, and her husband has been missing dinner. Every night, she hoped it would be different, she got her hopes up hoping he would show up. She knows her husband doesn't love her, their marriage is based on a contract between their families. The reason she got married to him was to give him an heir but

    Clara stared at him with so much pain in her heart, seeing he had already made up his mind and there was nothing she could do, she stared at the papers, ready to sign. Xavier noticed she was ready, he handed her a pen and she took it. As she was about to sign the papers, she thought about how her life would be over once she signed them. Her parents will abandon her, she will have nowhere to go, and the humiliation she will get from everyone in the city. Her life will be ruined!“I… I can't sign this.” She muttered and dropped the papers. “Xavier, please. We can make this work, I will get pregnant, and I will give you an heir.” Clara pleaded in tears but he ignored it. “Let's just get this over with, okay? It's been two years and there is nothing to gain from this marriage. Katherine is back and she is pregnant, I want to be with her.” Despite all he had said, Clara still wasn't ready to sign the divorce papers. She has no life without Xavier.“No, I can't.” She muttered.“Sign th

    Xavier headed out in the morning without waiting to see Clara, he was glad she signed the papers already. He headed to the hotel where Kathrine was staying. He arrived there in minutes. Immediately he stepped in, she rushed to him and threw her arms around him. Xavier chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her and spun her around. He knew he was doing the right thing, Kathrine loves him as much as he loves her. While they were still together, they were the talk of the city. Everyone was always rooting for them. It was a shock to everyone seeing his marriage with Clara, the city talked about it for a very long time before it eventually died down when they found something else to talk about. He never loved Clara, it's really a good thing he is letting her go.He couldn't deny the fact that he felt a little pity for Clara, she is a good woman and the years of being married to her were peaceful. He knows how much she loves him and always tries to be on his good side during the years

    Clara slowly opened her eyes, she looked around the room and noticed it looked unfamiliar. ‘Where am I?’ She thought as she kept looking around. She tried to recall what happened and she did. She remembered passing out. Just as she was about to try to sit up, the door opened revealing the doctor. It was their family doctor. “Mrs. Blackwell. You are awake.” Dr. Griffo said. “How did I get here?” She asked as she slowly sat up.“Your butler brought you in, ma’am.” He replied and she nodded. He kept smiling at her which made Clara wonder what was going on.“It's good to see you again Mrs. Blackwell.” He said, Clara faked a smile. If only he knew she wasn't bearing that last name again. Also, she found it odd. Dr. Griffo was smiling more than usual.“What?” Clara couldn't help but ask.“Congratulations, Mrs. Blackwell. You are pregnant.” He announced. Clara felt everything around her pause as his words echoed in her head.She thought she heard wrong so she let out a chuckle and shook

    Without waiting for Clara to respond, Xavier walked out of the ward. Clara buried her face in her hands as she started to cry loudly. Everything kept getting worse the moment she thought it would get better. What is she supposed to do? Where is she supposed to go? She was so sure her parents wouldn't accept her back. She was also sure they would have heard the news. Dr. Griffo walked back into the room, Clara hurriedly wiped her tears as she looked up at him.He gave her a look but Clara forced a smile.“I am really sorry about this ma’am. If there is anything I can do to help, I will.” He said and Clara nodded. He is their family doctor, he isn't a stranger so he knows a lot. “Can you get me a ride?” She asked and sniffed.“Of course, ma’am.” ~Clara sat in the car and watched the chauffeur drive and at the same time, she was fighting her tears. She was in the car the doctor arranged for her and as dumb as it sounds, she was heading to Xavier’s mansion. For the last time, she

    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

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.

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.

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

    “Oh my God.” Carl muttered as he went through the pictures. “This is insane.” He added and looked up at Xavier. He wasn't looking as calm as he was before. He looked a little bit bothered.“Now, do you agree we are in some deep shit?” Carl asked and he nodded in response.“She is messed up in the head.
