LEO'S POVI was awaken again by the loud buzz from my phone which was just at the edge of my bed. I sigh angrily and ignored it just like the knock but the caller kept on calling non-stop, I became mad and took my phone to turn it off. With my eyes partly opened, I glanced at the caller, it was Jack. I wondered why he was calling me by this time, after much deliberation I decided to pick up considering the manner in which he had been calling, it must be something important. "Jack! Why "" Where is clara? Have you seen the news? Put on your television now! I just hope Clara is save" Jack interrupted me the moment I was about to question him. He made mention about Clara being safe which frightened me and I ran to get the remote and put on the television which had been in my room just for decoration because I barely watch it. I was devastated in the state I saw Clara in, she looked scared, sad and confused as the reporters rushed to her asking her questions. Blood was dripping from h
For the first time I let a girl sleep peacefully on my bed which was still unbelievable to me, it felt like I was sharing my body with someone else and maybe the other person had carried Clara from the gate to my room and placed her on my bed. "But why am I not reacting?" This was the question I kept on asking my self but there was no answer. I had been sitting by the edge of my bed watching Clara while she was sleeping and now I was also feeling sleepy, I needed to rest. For a moment I thought of sleeping on my bed, beside Clara but Immediately I shook off the idea off my head and decided to sleep on the couch instead. I got up to leave but she turned and I froze, my heart began to beat fast like I had done something wrong. Luckily She faced the other side of the room and within a second, she was fast asleep again. I walked to my wardrobe, took out another blanket and went to lie on the couch, though I wasn't feeling comfortable because the couch was quite small and hard. I jolted
Leo's attitude towards me was quite fascinating, never have I thought that he could be all this caring and calm. I always thought he had grudges for me and now he has proven it to be wrong but I was still scared that he might change suddenly and the beast in him might return very soon so I wanted to leave and he refused. I walked slowly to his bathroom with pain all over my body, I checked his drawer for the supposed brushes Leo said he had but I couldn't find it, instead I saw various type of body cleaning agent, sanitizers... I was about to leave when I looked up and saw something like a box and opened it there were lot of new brushes just as he had said but they were all black in color. "Devil" I whisper and took out one. The tooth paste wasn't difficult to locate, I applied some on the brush stood in front of the tap brushing my teeth thoroughly while I looked at the mirror. After I was done, I went to lie on the bed again."How am I suppose to have my bath in his bathroom, that'
LEO'S POVI was so angry with myself for what I had done, what was I actually thinking when I carried Clara on my lap in the presence of those maid and all she could do was embarrass me. Even while we ate, the courage to look up at her or even talk to her wasn't there. I wanted to find a way to just leave the room, if possible disappear after noticing that she was looking at me, it seemed like she knew how embarrassed I was but still decided not to apologize. I was almost done with my food which I had been forcing myself to eat and wondered if she noticed that also. Suddenly I remembered that I was suppose to go and check on my guard and rose up immediately, walking towards the door with hands in my pocket. "She won't even ask where I was headed?" I said aloud while going down the stairs. On getting to my guard room, I saw him entering the mansion through the main door with an envelope in his left hand. My cheeks curled into a smile and turned back into a frown within a second. I co
Clara was so annoying, I wondered if this was how much she hates me. I have been looking after her since yesterday and didn't even get a thank you, talk more of a hug. "To hell with her" I let out a scoff, heading to my bathroom to have a shower. My mind was made up never to be bothered about her any longer, she was just my maid after all. Hours passed and Clara didn't come back, even when I ordered for my dinner she didn't come with the maids. "Seems like she wasn't fully enlightened about her job" I whispered the moment I saw the maids entering and Clara was no where to be seen. After eating dinner, I brought out her diary and began to read. The next page drew my attention so bad because it wasn't about het normal daily activities, neither was it about her life. The heading was boldly inscribed "The features I want in a guy" I read slowly, unawareness that I was reading it aloud. "Is this some kind of joke? Do people actually do this? What a waste of time" I laughed out loud, fli
During the meeting I chose the able bodied men that were going to accompany me for the attack, while the rest were to work from a distance and others from the meeting room . The maps was duplicated and enough to go round for everybody to study from now till tomorrow. Some spies were also sent to the blood moon estate, they were to report tomorrow morning on how things went there over night and tomorrow morning. No doubt that tomorrow's attack was going to be a dangerous one because, majority of the Blood moon lives in the estate so once they find out about their presence, they wouldn't hesitate to attack from different angles. That's why I wanted to ensure that we go into the leader's mansion without a lot of them noticing. After I was done, someone reminded me of the young boys I was going to be training. "Tell them to meet me at the field in twenty minutes" I replied, getting up from my chair and headed to my car. I drove slowly to the field, taking time to look at the surrounding
CLARA'S POVLeo kept on avoiding eye contact with me while he suddenly froze after seeing me with my diary. He had been standing by the door which was still open, no doubt that he was obviously thinking of what to say but this was so unlike him. "Why would he be in this situation because I found my diary under his pillow" I thought, dropping the diary back on the bed and continue to mop the floor. Leo was really acting strange today. I entered his room earlier today and he didn't notice , even though I had been walking behind him the whole time. I concentrated on what I was mopping, hoping that he might say something about it. I finally heard the door close, followed by his footsteps which was too loud. My ears were itchy as I waited patiently for Leo to talk but instead he walked past me without mentioning a word. " Wow! I whispered, the almighty Leo has suddenly gone dumbstruck because of my diary, isn't that bewildering. He threw my diary on his desk and began to remove his shi
I have never been this humiliated in my life. "What did Leo take me for when he kissed me?" I asked myself, feeling so used and dumped like trash. My eyes had become moist and tears threatened to drop while I tried to resist, because some maid passing by were looking, while others were gossiping. I was boiling in anger, clueless on how to react to this embarrassing action of Leo. My hand tightened into a fist and I felt like opening the door and going over to hit him all over his body until blood began to gush out badly, but I couldn't because it will be the opposite at the end. I stood at a spot, looking dumbstruck and confused on what to do. " I hate you! Leo" I screamed before using my leg to hit the door and ran away leaving the mop and bucket by his door. While I rushed down the stairs, the tears I had been holding back began to drop on my hot red cheeks in full force as I tried wiping them continuously. On getting to my room, it was lock which made me wonder who had locked i
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
