[ Claire ]“Ma’am, how can you be so careless? You could have called your security guards. God! The cut is deep. I think we should lodge a complain against Miss Jones. She can’t harass you in a public place. I think she needs a good psychiatrist.” Miss Kim lectured while a doctor cleaned and bandaged my wound.My head was pounding. Mia’s violent actions kept replaying in my head. How could she lose her temper and hit me? It had never happened before.“Ahh! Please, be careful.” I winced when the doctor picked out a glass shard from the cut.“Ma’am, this is first-aid. We’ll be visiting a doctor so you can get examined and also have a CT scan.” Miss Kim’s concern reflected.“I am fine, Miss Kim, the wound isn’t deep.” I tried to avoid the situation but I knew, it’d be suicidal if I don’t consult a doctor soon.“Ma’am, you must see the doctor, especially a neurologist as soon as possible, you had a brain injury in the past and the force your sister used to hit you, it might cause some sev
[ Claire ]“Don’t worry, Ma’am, we’ll take immediate action. A team is leaving to arrest Miss Mia Jones. You have to come to the police station for the statement. We also collected the CCTV footage in which Miss Jones can clearly be seen while hitting you with a glass but may I know what led to such violence? Were you two arguing?” The police chief asked me as I and Tristan went to the police station to lodge a complain.“She’ll come, don’t worry officer. But I want you to make sure that such incident won’t happen again. My wife was at a public place.” Tristan reminded him, being a prominent figure in the city, everyone respects him and it was a big thing for police when we came to report a crime.“I can assure you, Mr. Pierce that we’ll do our best. Miss Jones will be arrested shortly.” The Chief assured us.“Sir, I have a request, please be gentle while handling her. She is pregnant but it should remain between us or the news will spread like a wildfire in the city.” I requested him
[ Claire ]“The police have arrested Mia.” Tristan who was on the call with the police chief told me once he ended the call.It’s been two days since they were looking for her. Our parents had undergrounded her, perhaps Ryan was also involved in their plan but Mia being Mia, she never obeys or takes any order seriously. She was arrested when she came out of her hiding place to do shopping.“Hmm, do you have any news on my parents or Ryan?” I asked, it must have fuelled their anger even more, first Caleb left the country, secondly Mia. I gave them concrete reason to hate me this time.He shook his head in despair. I advise you to manage your work from home or your other office, Claire. Your parents are releasing ridiculous statements about you in the public, even though the city has seen who is at fault. I don’t want you to get hurt and if you are in the vicinity of your father, I can’t keep a close eye on you.” He said with an exasperation.“I’ll be careful but if I don’t face him bra
[ Claire ]“What the hell! How is it possible? All the evidences were against Mia and when the hell did they get married?” Tristan yelled in frustration.“I don’t understand either. She told me that they were about to get married in next week then how is it possible? Oh God! I don’t know what to do now?” I paced too and fro as my brain blocked. I couldn’t see a way through this dense fog of conspiracy.“Calm down, Claire. We’ll find a way through it. You just take care of yourself. No one knows Ryan than me. I have to reach at the bottom of this whole matter to understand what he really wants. I know Mia is just a pawn in his game.” Tristan said, by judging his face, I could say that he was thinking.“I don’t care what he do, Tristan. I just want him out of our lives. I don’t know why but I have this gut feeling that he’s up to something big.” I shared my dilemma.He walked towards me and pulled me into his warm embrace, I immediately relaxed under his touch.“Hey, you don’t need to w
[ Tristan ]I was shocked by her bold move. The Claire I used to know, she was shy and introvert. She never initiated our intimacy in the past and whenever I used to make love to her, she acted all shy and tried to avoid me next day like we did it for the first time.For the first few seconds, I couldn’t process what was actually happening. I came back on the earth when she bit my bottom lip and I gave her access to explore my mouth while my hands protectively wrapped around her waist.I held on place while keeping in my mind that she was injured and I had to take care of her when I make love to her. Around her, I always lose my patience. She is my addiction.“Get on the bed, baby girl. I am going to show you how I please my queen tonight.” I breathed out as we broke the kiss. She had turned me on just by her innocent act of kissing me. I’d take the lead from there.She slowly nodded her head and went to sprawl on my bed while I watched her movements with pure amusement. I got on afte
[ Claire ]My relation with Tristan was on an edgy smoothness. We aren’t very close yet he doesn’t leave any chance to make me feel wanted and pampered. We share many intimate moments, I experience and explore new things everyday with him.I am drawing closer to him and I feel I missed it all these times, a particular someone who cares for my feelings and tries to show me that he’s always there for me whenever I need him. This feeling is beyond explanation. What I feel for Tristan is conflicting, I am not able to figure it out myself.“Ma’am, where do you want me to drive? We have been rounding the city for last one hour. I have to report to Mr. Pierce.” The driver said, thus pulling me out of my trance, I looked out of the window, we were in the centre of the city.“Please, take me to the J&J Jewellery Shop.” I instructed him. It was one of the most expensive jewellery shop in the city and most of the rich people buy ornaments from them because they sell limited edition. I want to gi
[ Claire ]I couldn’t believe that the woman who gave birth to my husband. The woman who always fascinated my thoughts since I have heard a lot about her from Tristan and Thomas, most of them are bitter fragments of memories but Thomas’ views were different. He saw her as a strong willed women with a sharp vision on crucial matters and a practical approach for life.But she hurt my husband and gave him deepest scars that he isn’t able to forget till now. I shouldn’t be falling in her tricks. Maybe, she’ll try to sneak her way in Tristan’s life through me.“I can understand your confusion, Claire and I know your perception of me is influenced by Tristan’s hatred for me. I won’t blame my son. I abandoned him and I deserve his coldness. For him, I don’t exist but I love him. I never stopped loving my son.” She said when she didn’t receive any response from me.Her words sounded genuine but my life’s experiences have taught me not to fall easily, it could be an illusion, a trap.“Excuse m
[ Claire ]After having the coincidental meeting with Tristan’s mother, I decided to meet Tristan as soon as possible because it wasn’t something I could hide from him. His business might be at stake if Olivia was speaking the truth. The last thing I want is to see Tristan in troubled water.Since everyone knows that I am their bosses’ wife, I directly went to his office to meet him. He was busy discussing something with his CEO. The tensed lines on their foreheads were proofs that they were in between a serious discussion.“I am sorry for coming here unannounced but I have to tell you something very important.” I said without waiting for his reaction as I entered in his cabin. They stood up from their seats.“Good afternoon, Mrs. Pierce. I’ll leave you two alone.” Mr. Gale greeted me with a slight bow.“Good afternoon, Mr. Gale, please stay here. You need to hear what I have to say.“Claire, what happened? You look stressed.” Tristan rounded his way towards me.“Please, sit down, Tri
