Jack's pov:

I headed to the cafeteria after leaving the class. This morning, left the house angrily and was unable to eat. My dad started his usual talk about me joining the Mafia, and taking over from him, but I had sworn never to be part of the Mafia.

My dad didn't force me to join while I was young, instead, he forced my older brother, Jerry. Jerry died recently in an attack, now he wants me to replace him. Fortunately, he can't decide for me,neither could he force me against my will sincee I was already grown.

While in the cafeteria, I sat with my friends and we were discussing about what happened the previous day. They kept on teasing me, saying that, Leo was going to kill me for helping Clara. My water poured on the floor while we were laughing.

After I was done eating, I waited for my friends to finish up, so we could lea

Her hair was packed with a net covering it. I kept on admiring her looks, I didn't even know when she got to were I was standing. " Clara, right? " Mrs. kate asked me with a smile on her face waving at the security men. "Hm.. Ye... yes ma Clara" I said jolting back to reality. " Nice to have you here, come with me " She said tapping me on my shoulder while I walked after her, managing to carry my heavy luggages. We passed through the back door instead of the front, she said we were only allowed to go into the house through the back door. There was another building at the back of the mansion, it was quite the same size of my house. It was the maid quarters,two maids stayed in a room. I was taken to my room, it looked nice and quite comfortable and thankfully it wasn't a bunk bed.

"Sir, I was told you were sleeping and I kept your," " Prepare pasta and hurry up because I am damn hungry" I interrupted her and ended the call, I couldn't bear to listen to whatever Mrs. Kate was about to say, she talks too slow.

I battled with the sleep in my eyes, which was trying to overpower me again just like it had done yesterday, but this time I won. I sat on my bed for a while with my eyes still closed, I didn't like the fact that I had to prepare for school this early. Staggering to the bathroom, I turned on the shower, the warm water ran from my head down to my toe and found it way out through the shower drain. By now I was fully awake, I was about to leave when I remembered that I hadn't brushed my teeth. " Damn, I keep on doing this everyday, You are always forgetting to brush first Leo" I said looking at the mirror, talking to no one in particular. I took out my brush, applied my toothpaste on it and went to the sink.

She was sweating profusely right now, she appeared to be weak and was loosing lot of blood. I didn't care less, she could die for all I care. As we got nearer, I pulled her in front of me, just in case there was anyone about to shoot. I would use her as my covering. The opened by itself, seems like it was being controlled from a room or something.Some of my dad's men were standing at different corners of the building, but no one dared to shoot. Maybe that was the instruction my dad had given to them. "Now, where is Clara?" I asked Danielle. She didn't respond, instead she kept on walking to a small building, behind the mansion. We finally got there and I i

When they saw me approaching, they began to shoot at me. Unfortunately for them, they weren't skillful in handling guns, I was a pro. I shot all of them while I was still inside my car. As I drew closer to the gate, I looked around making sure that none of my dad men was outside. After being satisfied, I went into the compound. There were about a dozen of corpse on the floor and more were still dropping dead. As I went further, I observed that most of them were my dad's men and I was pleased.

    There were about fifteen cars parked outside, with Leo men surrounding the cars, while others were still inside. I hoped silently that Leo didn't call them for protection. I felt it might be quite embarrassing for me and would likely draw more attention to us. Both on the roads and in the school.I was still peeking through the window, when the door opened and Leo step in briskly. I tried as much as possible pretend that I hadn't been peering, but there was no way I could possibly hide it. "Get prepared, my men would be escorting us to school." Just as I had thought, Leo had called his men for protection.To me, I felt it wasn't necessary and only shows that Leo was a bit scared. But I guess it was because, he knew his father was unpredictable and might likely do something worst. Leo wore his uniform and left the room while I prepared. When I got outside, I was treated like a queen, as Leo men followed me to the car which Leo was in. The moment the door opened, a wide smile appe

    Clara's povLater that day, I went to the maids quarters to look for Danielle. There were lots of questions popping in my brain; only Danielle had the answers. As I got closer to the kitchen, there were noises coming from the kitchen as the maids were talking out loudly."I guess they have finally been released" I muttered to myself. I decided not to look at any of them to avoid being angered again, but to my greatest dismay, they all greeted me the moment I stepped my foot into the kitchen. For some seconds, I was taken a back. In fact, I got shock and could feel my heart beat faster than normal. I stood motionlessly, glancing at each of them and still couldn't believe that they just greeted me including Agnes.Clueless about what to do or how to respond, I only feigned an obvious fake smile and hurriedly left the kitchen, going through the door that leads to the maid quarters. It suddenly occurred to me that I should have probably asked then about Danielle, but it was late no

    "Sir, she is in here." I rushed into the room, hoping that it was Clara they had seen and not someone else. Luckily, it was Clara; she was still unconscious and laid on the bed peacefully, completely unaware of her surroundings.I noticed some part of her clothes has been messed with, Jack was lucky to have escaped from me today. If I had gotten hold of him, he would have been in the world of the dead by now. I removed my black jacket, wrapping it around Clara's exposed body. I have never seen her in something this sexy, but I must admit that she looked really hot and could drive a man crazy just by staring at her. While lifting her up, I heard her mumble some words and also speak gibberish. I was certain that, she had mentioned my name. While I went back home, I ordered Joe to find out the owner of the hotel. I carried Clara and my laps, while her head rested on my chest as Joe drove us home. I stared at her, stroking her hair continuously, it was difficult to imagine what I woul

    "Where the hell is Clara?" I yelled at the security guards, getting closer to the gate. The moment they heard my voice, they suddenly rushed outside and lined up in a straight line. They bowed their heads while I questioned them, but it only made me more furious. I needed someone to look me in the eye and tell me Clara's whereabout, but none of them where saying anything. The youngest among all the security guard, was standing close to me. I grabbed him by his collar and threatened to kill him, if he refuses to speak up. "Sir, I really don't know. She has been indoors and hadn't crossed this gate today," He said with a shaky voice.My phone began to ring out and I quickly let go of his collar, bringing out the phone to check the caller. It was an unknown number and I was reluctant to pick up. On a second thought, I decided to answer it, considering the fact that Clara was missing.

    Danielle excitement knew no bound, the moment I agreed to follow her to the club. My aim was to make Leo worry about me, since he didn't care and told me to do as I pleased. I sat on bed, watching Danielle as she began searching for clothes we were going to put on. "Finally!" She shouted with joy and threw a purple gown at me, which landed on my face. I took the gown off my face and scrutinize it carefully.The first thing I observed was that, the gown was short and it was sleeveless. I wasn't comfortable with wearing this type of cloth and I made it known to Danielle, but she insisted. "The security? What are we going to do with them?" I asked her, realizing that, they weren't going to allow me pass through. They knew Leo never wanted me to step outside without him or his body guard.Danielle assured me that, she was going to handle them and I shouldn't be bothered. She did my make over and styled my hair in a really nice way, making me look so pretty and attractive.I stood in fr

After taking my bath, I put on a baggy shirt with jean shorts, before going to grab my book which was lying on Leo's desk.I was about to leave the room, when it occurred to me that, it would be better if I stayed in Leo's room to read, to avoid distractions from Danielle.I sat back on the desk, carefully arranging the files which were scattered on the table. I was putting them by the side, making sure that I don't get them mixup. I picked up the last file, when suddenly a picture dropped out it.

We waited in separate cars and in different locations, observing every movement in the house.I saw a young beautiful girl, who I assumed to be Clara sister, open the window and looked out. She inhaled and exhaled gently, before putting down the curtains.She had a slight resemblance with Clara, but one could tell that she was older than Clara. After waiting for about two hours, I saw Clara's mum come out of the house. It seemed like she was leaving for work. I ordered that, one car followed her closely, just incase the plan was to kidnap them, while they were on their way to work. After waiting for a few more minutes, my phone buzzed.
