Sinful transactions.

MIKE

She was going to keep hiding like this and I expected that much. In years, last night was the most amazing day of my life. It felt like I hadn't lived before and the clock just started to count from last night- Clara had breathed life into me.

The universe seemed to have heard me cry for more time with her, hence the storm that terrorized the skies and the earth. And while she was all I was fixated upon, she tried to slip away again, expectedly but I wasn't going to let her, ever.

Clara was becoming a drug, a necessary evil that I so badly needed to survive, and the sight of her away from me made my skin prick.

I needed her like last night. I needed her to talk to me, to beg me to please her. I needed her to look at me in the eyes and tell me that last night wasn't a sham, or a mistake- that everything she'd done, that we'd done, she didn't regret it. But she was eager to run away.

    Secret Transactions. (II)MIKE She stood there, frozen as her eyes raked over me, stopping right at the fold of my towel and then crawling back to my face. "Are you trying to seduce me?" The question that fell from her lips. "No matter how I think about it, that's what it looks like you're trying to do.""My phone was ringing," I blurted, way too eager to escape her accusations, and that only tainted my actions more. It wouldn't exactly be terrible if I were trying to seduce her.The phone, which seemed like an excuse, had unfortunately stopped ringing and I was made into a liar- which I also didn't mind. I'd rather it were mild, funny lies like this, that something that tainted my reputation so hard no cleansers would wash it off."Ah, I see..." She didn't seem convinced at all, neither did she take her eyes off me, and I loved it that way. It made me simmer with all the kinds of feelings I seldom felt, and she was within reach, in a dress that would take me no less than seconds to

    Dreams We Can't AffordCLARAThe sound of the doorbell filled the room with a bout of clarity, and my eyes couldn't possibly be widened more. It felt like being in a trance, yet very conscious, and I had the perfect excuse this time, too.Mike hexed me with that body, and his chocolate abs that my hand was now, subconsciously grazing over, and the monster he often hid between those legs.I was fucked, literally. My body was an aching mess, but the moment Mike touched me again, I swear I'd be willing to hump him like a horse ride down the streets of Albuquerque. The doorbell rang again; thankfully, he jolted up this time and found his towel, while I-Well, my clothing items were sprawled around all corners of the room, on the floor, crying to be picked. I rushed to pick my dress up. My hair was a mess, and I couldn't find my panties. Great heavens! Mike looked just as confused as I was, in that towel.We could just ignore the ringing and take it off him, again. I'd do that if I had

    Faltering Steps BackCLARAWhat about Velma could he want to talk about? I knew it could be a trick to draw me out of my room, but whenever my daughter was involved, I couldn't possibly find any reason not to respond in time. I stood closer and caressed the knob. I didn't know what to do from there.My defiance was certainly slipping from my grip. "What could you possibly want to talk about?" I asked from the other side, still holding on to the doorknob. I was more psyched about what his concerns might be than the fact that I could jump into his arms at the slightest chance that I found."Come out there, let's talk." There was that residual hint of finality in his voice. Though it made me mad, it just confirmed how important whatever he possibly wanted to talk about was. I rolled my eyes and pulled the door open.Mike had preceded me and was now walking to the living room space, and I mindlessly tottered after him, groaning with each step taken. I really didn't want to be having any

    Peace Is A Myth!CLARAIt felt like the control I thought I'd gained was slipping through my fingers and fast. I jumped up from the seat and snatched the brownie Velma was holding on impulse. I couldn't control my urges too. I felt drained of every iota of blood, and my head was wild with thoughts of what was happening and how I'd let it right under my roof."How long has she been bringing these!?" I yelled, startling Velma and Agatha in the process. I felt sorry, but my expression conveyed the exact opposite of that. I didn't know what I was thinking, but only terrible thoughts danced around in my mind. "How many times has my daughter been fed this!?"Agatha startled back. I could see the fear across her eyes, undeniably. "A-all three days you were absent, ma'am!" She cried out softly. "All t-three days. I wanted to inform you, but it continued to skip my mind, and I just- I'm sorry! What do I do? What's the problem, Ms Jenkins?"I ruffled my hair, letting out a tired breath as I par

    Assailant!CLARAI didn't know how or when it happened but I was now hauling Lucy into her car. She was the one who handed me her car key and asked me to drive. My heart had dropped to my feet and it felt like I couldn't breathe, no matter how hard I tried. My fingers seemed to be dipped in oil, clutching the steering wheel and sliding right off it as I made my way out of the estate.My mouth tasted bitter and the car smelled like hell, filled with Lucy 's raggedy breathing and moaning like life was drifting from her grasp just as sanity was drifting from mine. I did this.I pushed her. If Lucy lost her child, then that's on me! I caused it! My eyes were blurry with tears and I could barely see a thing as I sped by the cars on the highway. "Just hold on! You'll be fine, your baby will be fine!" I cried as I drove, trying to reassure her just as much as I was myself.She needed to be fine, one way or the other. Lucy cussed me out all she wanted. I continued to beg her, and tried to

    Mixed Feelings!MIKE Mixed feelings.I wouldn't have thought of myself being in this situation, but then, here I was, looking at Clara as the doctor relayed the news that I couldn't seem to wrap my head around. Clara's story wasn't making sense at all, and I knew there were a lot of potholes, too.Things she wasn't telling me about. I didn't know how to feel."Oh my god!" Clara yelled as she leaped to her feet, eyes wide as though she'd seen a ghost. I could tell she'd been crying since the moment I walked in here. The only thing I understood was that she got into a fight with Lucy .I should have seen this coming. My stomach felt like it had been carved out, completely empty, and I was drained of all emotions. How was I supposed to feel? I might despise Lucy 's guts, but I still wanted to know what happened. Clara pushed past me and stood directly before the doctor."You're joking, right? She's fine, and the child is fine, too, Right?"I'd never heard her yell so loud that it attrac

    : Bait!MIKE She let my question linger in the air. Her eyes faltered by two blinks, and she stopped moving, stepping away from me as I retained eye contact."What child?" I asked again, refusing to give her the space that she was asking for. Lucy glared at me like my question was unbelievable, but beneath that hardened glare was a front that was cracking so hard by the edges.This was merely a hunch, and it had appeared in my mind countless times that Lucy could be faking her pregnancy. These accusations might be the most hurtful thing a person could throw around like this, but I stood by it merely from her reaction. Something was not adding up."Or do you think I don't know?" I pushed further. Throwing these questions felt like walking in muddy waters on a rainy night with no flashlight. The probability that I might be right was so slim. "When did you plan to tell me the truth?!""You're sick!" Lucy spat, finally finding her voice as she retreated backwards to the bed and sat on

    Even In A Mad World, She's Insane.CLARAHere I was, trying to get myself in jail because I felt like I'd done something so wrong,g only to find out that it was all an act from the very beginning? I could feel the hair at the back of my neck stand when I started to decipher everything and remembered how it played out.How desperate was Lucy for her to have lied like this? If Mike hadn't caught up to her lie. No, if she hadn't confessed, it would have been such a messy situation for me. I stood to my feet. It was the dead of night, for fuck's sake, and I left my daughter on her cold bed. I was supposed to be by Velma's side right now!The anger I felt bubbled up to my throat, and it burned! It painted my cheeks and my ears as I fumed, waiting to storm out of the police station despite everything Beverly was saying to hold me back. I just wanted to grab Lucy by the neck and slam her head against the edge of a table a couple of times; maybe then her brain wouldn't sink closer to its o

    Chapter 122 :A New BeginningMike pov It’s strange how life changes in an instant. One moment, you’re proposing to the love of your life with sweaty palms and a missing ring, and the next, you’re staring at a pregnancy test that says “positive.” Clara’s still asleep next to me, her hair a mess of golden waves sprawled over the pillow, and I’m lying here trying to figure out how my life got so... perfect. Except, it’s also terrifying. “Dad, I’m hungry,” Velma’s voice cut through my thoughts. I blinked at the ceiling before turning to see her standing by my side of the bed, clutching a stuffed bunny with one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other. She looked up at me with that sleepy little pout that made me realize she wasn’t a baby anymore. She wasn’t even my “little girl” anymore. And soon, there was going to be another little one in the house. “I’ll make you something in a sec, kiddo,” I whispered, ruffling her hair. Velma narrowed her eyes at me, all suspicious-like.

    Crossing T's And Dotting I's. CLARA The ride was quiet, tense even, and my head was glued in one position, staring outside the vehicle as the houses blurred by. It seemed like Mike had been an undeniable part of my life for too long. I thought when I got home, I would be able to get him out of my air, but here I was now, in his car. I didn't know what I was supposed to say. I had been judgy and undeniably mean to him, especially about Lucy . No, about everything, and I knew why I continuously did that. I just wanted to push him away, irk him, and show him all of the ugliest parts of me so he could get sick of it and go away! That didn't seem to be happening anytime soon, and the guilt I felt was only amplified. However does one get over this? Jeez. I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes; he even looked good from the side, focused on the road. The silence was so thick that I felt it in my chest. Felt it deep inside my heart like an ice-formed dagger and it was slowly pre

    : Viva La Vida.THREE MONTHS LATER.MIKE "Ughh! This dude doesn't know how to give up, does he?" I rolled my eyes as I fell on the couch next to Clara and wrapped my arms around her. She was looking at her phone again, for the second time today. He just wouldn't stop sending her those pictures, would he? Clara snuggled closer, "I should just block him, right?" She joked. "Love really had made him mad. I mean, look at that smile!"I shrugged. "I mean, did you see what it did to me?" A giggle ripped out of her throat and I snatched the phone from her playfully. "Is it just me or does he look fatter here?""Claire must be doing such a wonderful job!" Clara beamed, sighing. "I'm just glad he's okay! He looks so happy!""He does." I pecked her. "But I look happier, look at me alone." Rodney had been on vacation with Claire for the past two months, so we get blessed with pictures like this every second.It was tons of Claire's pictures, literally every part of her had been sent to Clara a

    Hope.CLARAMike didn't respond, and more tears trickled down his cheeks as he stared into my eyes. His eyes were red, and swollen, evidence that he had been crying for a longer time than right now. My eyes prickled at the sight of him crying, and tears began to roll down my cheeks as well.Why was he crying? And why was I crying too. I didn't know why but my heart felt heavy in my chest, and it ached terribly. His silence stung me all over like a thousand bees. Why was he answering? What had happened to our baby?"C-Mike ?" I stammered, arching a brow, "What happened to Velma?" The question barely left my lips, but again he was quiet. Almost like he couldn't speak, and I couldn't take it anymore.The silence was killing me, just as much as not knowing what had happened to my baby. Could she-No. I shook my head frantically at the thought of that. No way. I didn't even want to think about that. I couldn't bear the thought of it, and it felt like a part me died at that brief thought.

    Where Is She?CLARAI knew it was stupid and I shouldn't be here alone but what else could I do?! Lucy had threatened to harm her if I told anyone. I'd rather get hurt in her place as long as nothing happens to my daughter!I parked the car and looked up ahead at the building. No one lived there and the whole thing looked like it would fall apart at any moment.My heart thumped in my chest when fear gripped me and the possibility of all the bad things that could happen flashed before my mind. I closed the car door immediately I stepped out, my hands balled into fists.I'd rather die than have anything happen to Velma! Oh, god! Oh god! Agatha, too! I desperately clung to the hope that she had nothing to do with this, and that she was safe, just as Velma was.The video replayed in my head in an unending loop and I almost burst into tears.My baby. My little girl was fucking tied to a chair. I was going to kill Lucy ! I was going to rip her to shreds the moment I set my eyes on her. I s

    The Foe.CLARAI felt a knot immediately tighten in the pit of my stomach as my eyes scanned the empty room from the doorway. The bed was empty, Velma wasn't here. Velma wasn't here?It was 2 a.m. Why wasn't she in bed by this time? Panic was slowly setting in, and I could feel it claw it way up my stomach. Where was she?My eyes shot to the restroom at the corner of the room, and I felt a bit of calm wash over me. Perhaps she was in there. I swallowed the uneasiness that had crawled its way to my throat, slightly panicking as I dashed across the room to her bathroom. "Velma," I called as I knocked on the door or rather banged it but there was no answer, and I pushed it open, "Velma," I called again.The door swung open, and my heart sank as it turned out empty too. She wasn't in the restroom. My head spun around the room, and my palm was beginning to feel clammy as I released the door and it slammed shut in my face. Where the hell was she? Where could she go?My stomach tightened, a

    More Trouble!CLARA I came out of Velma's room after I'd registered that she was asleep and I took Mike into mine.We barely made it past the door. My urges were all over the place and I'd clenched my thighs all through the ride. I needed him so badly.Mike managed to slam the door behind me and pushed me in, crashing his lips into mine! "I'll take care of you," he whispered between kisses. "I'm so sorry, Clara. I'm so sorry I made you doubt me."His breath was hot against my face and he nibbled kisses everywhere. I was dripping wet, unable to contain my hunger.He whispered lovingly as he placed kisses on my naked body. I hastily unbuttoned his trousers, and he pulled it off before tossing it aside."Mike ," his tongue twirled with mine as if I'm trying to taste all his secrets. "I know. And I'm sorry too," I replied, out of breath. "Please. I'm ready. I want this. I want you. I'm done fighting you. Let me feel you, please."I reached down between us and gripped his cock, a little

    Misconceptions.ClaraMy eyes locked onto Alice as she stepped inside my home, and I clenched my palm into a fist, feeling the slight tremble of my hands, and body as the rage simmered inside of me. It felt like a fucking earthquake was happening inside of me, and I hated that she made me feel this way-this small.What the hell was she doing here? How dare she even show her face here after what she had done? How dare she? Anger clawed it way up my throat, and I swallowed it back down, struggling to stay in control as my gaze fixed on her.My mind raced with a mix of emotions-Anger, hurt, betrayal, each feeling fighting for dominance, but I kept my expression blank, masking my feelings. I couldn't let her know how much her presence was affecting me or how much she had hurt me. No way. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of a reaction so I feigned calm even if I felt nothing like that.Even if I felt like I was caught in the middle of a freaking storm or hurricane.

    Loss!MIKE *THREE HOURS EARLIER*I didn't touch Alice! I didn't do anything with her so who captured these incriminating photos? My eyes burned when I looked down at the envelope once more. The weight had multiplied in my hand, like I carried the problems of the world inside that piece of paper.Fuck! Who the hell took this?Why?I was...just a step away from having my entire life together and this happens? I felt like a car running on fumes. Why was I stupid enough to think things would continue to go smoothly like they had these past few days?My heart had ripped from my chest and my hands wouldn't stop shaking no matter how I tried. I gulped hard as I tottered towards my car from Clara's building.She'd shut down and those entrances were slammed in my face. The ones I'd worked so hard to reopen. It felt like a knife was being carved into my chest and I swear, I couldn't breathe!I couldn't breathe. Who sent those photos? What did I do? If only she'd let me explain! Nothing happene
