I apologized to Clara when we got to my room, trying to convince her that what happened in her room wasn't a big deal and it was all my fault. I didn't want her to see me as a pervert, so it was the right thing to do else she is going to get uncomfortable around me. The rest of the day ran very fast, I and Clara woke up very late for school, but we still went all thanks to Clara who convinced and threatened me at the same time. Even after preparing for school, I had a strong urge not to go but my urges were nothing compared to Clara's threats. She threatened never to stay in my room again if I failed to go to school with her, it was indeed a great threat to me. Clara and I went together in my car, but on getting to school she suddenly requested to get off in order to avoid being seen together with me, I refused but she insisted and there was nothing I could do since it was her choice. While driving into the school, some students were being punished for their late coming but I was
CLARA'S POVI walked towards the school gate silently, tears couldn't drop down from my eyes neither could I cry out loud the way I ought to. I was gripped in fear and shock at the same time, this isn't the Leo I know, it is surprising how I failed to notice the way he threatened people with death and how he was feared by all, I was too dumb to think it was his wealth that earned him this influence. Now I know better, but it is late already. "I fell in love with a murderer? What have I gotten myself into? Why me, how did I get here?" I screamed, which got students and some passer by looking at me like I was crazy. Suddenly a car parked in front of me, I got scared and didn't bother to look at who it was because it might be Leo, surprisingly it turned out to be Jack. He had a pitiful look on his face while he walked over to me with his eyes fixed on my face which got me a little bit embarrassed. Without saying a words, Jack pulled my left arm and took me into his car. I followed him r
CLARA'S POVI was thankful that the whole issue with the maid had been sorted out, at least they have learnt how to mind their business and give me the respect I deserve as fellow human like them. I walked through the hall way with no destination, wondering what would have become of me now if they hadn't been dealt with by Leo the last time. Now I was certain that I can stay anywhere around the house, or do anything I want without being bothered by any of them. I heard my room door slam loudly, the sound echoing through the hall way, Leo was just leaving the room but thankfully he took the other route to his room. I wrapped my hands around my chest, walking worrisomely until I found myself outside the house but I didn't stop walking. Just as I was about to make a turn, I saw Jack driving into the compound so I stop until he got to where I was standing."Where to?" Jack asked, looking at something that had just fallen inside his car. Instead of responding to his question, I told him
Peace of mind is my utmost desire right now but it seems to be very far from me, rather restlessness filled my soul. I couldn't concentrate on anything. I couldn't doubt the fact that I was worried about Leo even though I was angry and scared of him at the moment, he looked terrified when his guard told him about his father, he might be in danger. I felt shiver running down my spine when I remembered him saying his father will hurt me. I laid on my bed with my arms placed on my forehead,sightly covering my eyes, while my leg were crossed in the air as I inhaled slowly before exhaling. "Wait! Leo's guard, he smirked when, when, something doesn't feel right about his smirk" I rose up from my bed and went to have my bath so I could just sleep and forget about everything for a while. While I was in the bathroom, I heard the door open which made my heart skip instantly. Silently, I prayed that it wasn't Leo, instead let it be Jack or my roommate. I purposely delayed my bathing and sp
LEO'S POVClara might not understand now, but I am doing this for her. My Father definitely has a reason for showing up now of all times and Clara is part of his reason. I am willing to kill him over and over again as long as it involves Clara's life. All I have to do now is to find him, I don't care how long it takes or how hard it is going to be, he mustn't get to Clara before I get to him. I requested for the call to be tracked and found out that he called from China. He had been in China all this while monitoring me, but through who? There must a spy sending him Information but who could it be. Now that I have thought of it, I am curious to know who works for him, the only people I could think of is Jack and my bodyguard, they are the only ones close to me. How could I even trust them with Clara. Even though my mind was far away from everything that surrounded me or even where I was at the moment, I could feel when the plane landed on the ground, it went slowly until it finally
JACK'S POVClara finally slept off in my room after crying for hours because she couldn't find the love of her life, for a second it seemed as if she was going to run mad. Leo entrusted her to me and I must do everything in my power to protect her and to make sure that she was absolutely fine. Aside from the fact that Leo entrusted her to me, I feel like there is something growing in my heart for Clara. I sat on the chair beside the bed where Clara was sleeping, I stared at her without taking my eyes off her for a second. Though she was asleep, sadness and pain still rested on her beautiful round face. Clara was really beautiful indeed, how did she end up with someone like Leo and not me, who treated her well from the beginning. Lot of thoughts and imaginations filled my head while I kept on staring at Clara. Leo's guard hadn't come to check up on her since yesterday and even this morning, it was as if he suddenly went missing after Leo left for China. I had just gotten up from the
LEO'S POVA sigh of relief let out through my mouth the moment the plane touched the ground. I arrived Italy quite late due to various complications on the way. On looking round, my body guard was no where to be found neither was any of the drivers. For a moment it felt like I didn't tell my guard to book a flight for me back to Italy because, this was so unusual of him. It is expected that he pick me up at the airport on knowing that I was coming back to Italy, he has never done such before. After waiting for a while and there was still no sign of any him nor any of the drivers, I boarded a taxi to take me home as I had no other choice. The more I stood there, the more I fear that something bad was happening to Clara or might have even happened. Looking at the way the driver drove, it seemed like he recognize me. His hands were shaking for fear that I might do something hurtful to him. I ignored him and look out through the window till we arrived at my house. Immediately my the
CLARA'S POV"Was that necessary, I mean you guys have been" I stopped mere looking at the way Leo scowled at me. He began heading to his room and I didn't know if he wanted me to follow him or not, since he was angry that I kissed Jack. I stood for a while waiting for him to turn and ask me to follow him but he didn't, he didn't even notice I wasn't walking behind him. On getting to the stairs he looked back and saw I wasn't following him. " Do I really have to tell you everything huh?" Leo shouted but in a slightly calm manner. I still pretended to be clueless of what he was talking about. He suddenly walked hastily towards me and lifted me up, carrying me like a baby while we headed to his room. I began to laugh out so loud that my voice echoed. " You sly! I can't believe you would treat me like this, after claiming to miss me, you still want to leave me. And you kissed Jack and you don't think I deserve some kiss too ugh?""Oh, shut up already man" I said still laughing at Leo'
It wasn't surprising that Danielle led me to the house where my dad has been hiding all this while, it was their plan all along. The location was quite a distance though, it was in the middle of a thick forest which wasn't familiar to me. I had to park my car by the side of the road, and walked to the building with Danielle. 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
I was having a good moment with Clara when I received a call from my men, that my dad had attack us. I had to rush over to help them, hoping to meet my dad.As I got nearer to the house, I heard gun shot coming from inside. There were about five men standing outside with guns in their hands. 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. I passed through a secret passage and got into the house.My men were trying as much as possible to stop the traitors from entering further. I saw Joe by a door, he was already injured, blood was gushi
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. "Check the message being sent to you" I heard a feminine voice say. Her tone was filled with so mu
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
CLARA'S POVSince I saw Leo leave that morning, my mind wasn't at rest and I couldn't help but worry about where he was headed.Danielle was still sleeping peacefully and I had nothing to do. I decided have my bath and read for my upcoming final examination. Luckily for me, the door was left open; I knew Leo had purposely left the door open for me. 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. The man in the picture, had a slight resemblance with Jenny. I would have assumed that he was my father, but I don't even recall my father's f
I and my men got to Clara's house, but there was barely any sign of my dad's men around. 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. I could feel the vibration on my laps and took it out to check the caller. It was Mikky; my spy calling. I sensed that something was fishy instantly. On picking the call, I refused to speak first, waiting for the him to say something before I reciprocated. I
