LEO'S POVMy legs were still crossed on the table, I was enjoying the quietness, I wished the whole school could be like this always. My eyes were closed as I thought about a lot of things. After few minutes, I heard footsteps that bugged me because they were so loud, I put down my leg which had been crossed on the table. Closing my eyes, I placed my hands on the table. All of a sudden, I couldn't hear the footstep again, it was quite suspicious and unusual, so I had to open my eyes to check it out, just incase I was being attacked. It was Jack, he stood like a tree, looking at me with fear, and to make matter worst, he was with the Clara girl again, I noticed he was holding her hands but when he saw me, he let go of her hand. Ever since she came to this school, Jack and I haven't spoken to each other. He was always avoiding me, even when I summoned for him the other time, he never came, I didn't bother to tell him anything. I expected them to move to another sit, pro
CLARA'S POVI was thankful as I walked back to the class. If they hadn't ring the bell, I would have lost to Leo. I entered the class and walking to my sit, I noticed Jack taking glances of me until I sat on the chair. He didn't talk about what had happen, instead he kept quiet, behaving like I wasn't sitting beside him." Hm, Jac" The teacher entered, and I wasn't able to complete my sentence. Unlike Jack, he would have been curious to know what I was about to say, and demand that I say it. It seems as if he didn't even hear what I said, but I was sure he did. Was he angry with me? The teacher had been lecturing for about an hour, he had fourty minutes left. Leo wasn't in the class, he would still be in the library, that is for sure. I was enjoying the class because I was understanding every thing the teacher was saying. He gave us an equation to solve, which I was solving happily. " Start again" I heard someone say, but I could not look up at this moment. I was close to getting my
LEO'S POVI waited patiently for the arrival of my food, I remembered Clara's diary and continued reading. I smiled when I read that her favourite food was spaghetti, and it was the only dish she could prepare well. I thought of going to have my bath before eating, but I changed my mind because I was so engrossed in reading the diary, and I didn't want to stop. I decided to eat before bathing, then I could have a nap and wake up later in order to attend the meeting I had by 10:00pm. Someone knocked softly on my door, I could barely hear it."Come in" I said with my eyes still fixed on the diary. The maid brought in my food, she gently placed on the table before leaving. I was reading the part where she said, bullying was a criminal offense to her and that she never let anyone bully her, no matter who the person was, I couldn't stop the laughter that forced itself out of my mouth. " Ohh shit, my food" I kept the diary under my pillow and went to eat, my food had become warm,
CLARA'S POVI tuned the door knob, about to open the door, but I stopped when I heard the master last sentence. "How is it possible that he was going to kill them, why would he even do it at the first place? He was probably just pulling their legs because he was angry" I thought, not until I heard him telling his guard to take them to the torture room. Who would have thought that there was a toture room for maids in this house. I closed the door gently, resting my head on the door, I have really caused a big mess. The workers were crying, pleading for their lives, I bent down looking transfixed. How would these innocent people die because of me, I couldn't think of any way to cover up this big mess I had just caused. This was the moment when I wish I could turn back time. I opened the door slowly, in order to avoid the creaky sound being heard. I saw Renata crying, she was being dragged roughly by one of the guard. Hot tears were beginning to roll down my cheek, I tried to wipe
LEO'S POV" Sir, here is the pain reliever " I went to the fridge to take a bottle of water. I didn't like taking drug and I couldn't take one without water. I poured a large quantity of water into my mouth, before putting the pill, swallowing the water and the pill at once. My guard turned to leave "Go and get the cctv footage from the security room, I need to see who really poured the water." I said handling the bottle of water to him, he returned it back to the fridge before leaving. I laid down on my bed trying to get a nap but I wasn't able to sleep. I forced myself to sleep for few minutes, but sleep was far from me at the moment, instead I kept on turning restlessly on the bed. I took out Clara's diary which was under my pillow and I continue reading from where I stopped. I was smiling as I read it, not until I was interrupted by a light knock on my door. "Come in" I said, knowing fully well that it would be my body guard returning with the cctv footage. Although I was
CLARA'S POV" Phew, that was close Clara. Innocent people almost died because of you" I soliloquised, hitting my chest gently while I walked slowly down the stairs. The fact that I got to know that Leo was my boss, was the greatest shock of my life. It kept on bothering me until I was about to open the kitchen door, then I remembered the people who I had sent to the torture room, because of my mistake. I became worried about what they were going to think of me, they would definitely be angry with me. I turned the door knob slowly in order to check if they were in the kitchen but the kitchen was deserted Instead. I stepped into the kitchen with my left foot, followed by right then I shut the door behind me. I looked round just to be sure that no one was in the kitchen, after I was convinced that I was the only living thing in the kitchen, I walked quickly to the second door that lead to the maids quarters. I needed to have a quick bath and a change of cloth. I opened the door a
LEO'S POVThe morning sun shone through the window into my room, because the curtain was wide open. The sun was shining directly on my face, forcing me to wake up even before my alarm rang. I had set my alarm to wake me up by 7 o'clock and now I am partly awake, and the time was just past six. I tried to get up from my bed but my eyes were bleary, so I sat back on my bed for some minute, allowing the sun to shine on me. I walked to the window to close the curtain after I was fully awake, even while I walk I could feel pains all over my body. I search my desk looking for my phone, but I couldn't find it." Where could this damn phone be? " I said as I walked back to my bed to search for it, I hate it when I looked for my things. I raised my pillow and found it on top of Clara's diary. I took it and called my personal bodyguard number." Hello boss" He said with a firm voice, but I couldn't tell he was just waking up from sleep I probably woke him up. " I need some massage now " I sa
CLARA'S POV" Geez, what was that for?" I said inaudibly standing up from bed and wiping my wet face at the same time. Someone poured water on me while I was still sleeping, my bed was soaked and water was dripping from my body. I was cold as the morning breeze blew strongly entering every part of my body. " This must be Renata's hand work" I said in anger, I couldn't think of anyone else except her because, we were the only one that stays in the room. I looked at the clock, the time was twenty six minutes to four. "why would she wake me up so early in such manner" I thought, I was still drying my hair, when I saw her coming out from the bathroom, our eyes met with each other, she rolled her's before looking away. Unlike before when she would always greet me and we would talk while we prepared. " I want you downstairs before 4 o'clock, " She said, already dressed up while I was just removing my cloth, by the time I was heading to the bathroom, she was already leaving the room.
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
