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'
LEO'S POVMy most trusted men came into my room with guns in their hands, I looked at Clara and noticed how scared she became on seeing them. I was rest assured that they were with me, betraying me is the last thing they did do. "That's my dad men right?" I asked, coming out from my safe spot. They nodded their head and stared at me viciously, waiting for me to give them an order. They were ready to kill at this point because my dad's attack was like a challenge to them. I however instructed them to go and make further research, and prepare for an attack on my father and his men who were once my men. I recalled the letter which I found on the floor and looked at Clara. Her life was in danger because of me, my father told me to kill her or he will do it himself. He claims she was making me a weakling and he never trained me that way. "Poor thing" I muttered inaudibly while walking to Clara who was still in shock. I lifted her up, assuring her that everything was fine and that she
CLARA'S POVI kept my eyes closed, I was so ashamed to look up at him. He actually deserve a big thank you from me or something more bigger than a thank you. I opened eyes slowly, just to see what he was doing, I found him staring at the room before heading to open the windows. While he head back towards the bed, I closed my eyes but he caught me and came closer. "You can keep the thank you, but just open your eyes stupid" Leo said, resting his hands on my waist which sent shivering down my spine. I must admit that recently, Leo touches gives me some weird feeling and it makes me yearn for his touch the more. He was about to leave again, but I dragged him and he fell on me. I stared at him and saw him smirk while I wondered if he knew what i wanted at this moment. Fortunately for me, it seems like he understood my message and lean forward to kiss me and I let his lips get into mine freely. Leo's hand began moving around my body slowly but in a good way but it wasn't enough to sat
