Violet's POV "Yes," Donald acknowledged. I frowned. I knew that Clara wouldn't appreciate me questioning her fiance but I had to do this.I do not trust the fact that he didn't follow me there. Of all the hotels in town, why would he be at the same one I went to?"Jason said you were the one who called him. How did you know the room?" I asked him.I was making sure I wasn't sounding rude so that Clara wouldn't be angry. I didn't want her to see me as an ingrate but what I was doing was also for her own good."I saw you talking to Joe when you got inside the hotel," he said the truth.I quickly looked at Clara whom I expected to wear a frown but she didn't. "Why did you follow me then?" I asked, eager to know every little detail. Clara already knew that we met behind her. I just hope behind that calm face, there wasn't anger and doubt. " While you were rushing inside the hotel to meet with Joe, the cab driver came to me. He said you had mistakenly dropped your phone in the car and
Violet's POV "Yes, you do"Excited, Donald moved over to hug me but I stopped him quickly. "No, don't do that." "Oh, right""Why don't you go on out there and check ok Clara?" I say. "Something must be keeping her waiting."I just didn't want Donald and I to be left alone for too long. Just before Donald exited my room, I popped up the one question that had been in my head ever since. "Hey, Donald?""Yes?""What about Joe? Did anything happen to him?"It was weird that Donald didn't mention anything about Joe after he'd ended his story. "Joe actually got away," Donald says, resentment evident in his voice. "But don't worry, we're doing all we can to find him."I know Joe did wrong but I wouldn't want them hurting him, given the years we've spent together. I didn't say anything about that because defending Joe was outrightly a wrong idea now.The door to my room was slid open as Jason walked in with Clara who was carrying a basket filled with fruits. "Sorry I took so long," he sa
Jason POVIt was supposed to be a day like every other day. And as usual, I was just about heading home after a tiresome day at work when my phone began to vibrate against my office desk. "Who could it be?" Grabbing my phone out from behind my jeans back pocket, Violet's name displayed across the screen as I couldn't prevent a smile from creeping up my lips.I taped the green button."What? Do you miss me?" I teased. "Work just closed for the day so I'm on my way home.""Jason, it's me, Donald" came a deep masculine voice panting profusely. I furrowed my brow, confused. "Donald? Why do you have Violet's phone?""Something happened," he said.My head flew away, like it has his own separate body and I couldn't help but to feel fear. "What happened?" I asked in panick.Violet just recovered from her last accident, I don't think her body would take another. "She was almost raped by Joe--fortunately, I could stop him before this went too far. She'd passed out from shock and now I'm in
Clara's pov."Is that everything, Madam?" My wedding dress designer inquires. Going over our list one last time, I nod. "That's everything. Thank you for your time"Exiting the wedding boutique, I climbed onto my car; heading straight to work. It's been a month now and the wedding preparations were getting closer. After what had happened with Violet and Joe, I was very convinced that Donald truly loved me and not Violet. And that made me decide to come clean with Donald. Pulling out my phone, I put a call through to Donald. "Hello?""Yeah? Is everything alright, Clara?""Yeah. I'm actually on my way to work right now and I thought maybe we could have dinner later when I clock out?" I rambled on. Donald chuckled. "I would love that. Text me when you are done?"I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "Sure""Have a great day at work""You too"Hanging up, I focused my attention back towards the road. Now that I was going to finally tell Donald my biggest secret, I suddenly
Clara's POV My heart was beating so fast as I saw Donald fasten his eyes on me. I knew I had to prepare for the worst but yet I was very scared.I didn't know that one day I would be telling someone I love the most painful part of my life. I will try to tell Donald without adding emotions to it. The hatred I have for Camille was beyond imagination."You know Camille right?". I started from there." Are you talking about Camille of Dvelle's companies? " Donald asked.Camille is a public figure and to our family business, his family's business is the one seconding and that was the reason he hated our family. He always want to be at the topnotch."Yes," I replied."Okay?" "I was once in love with Camille." I start. "And honestly, I had thought it's one of the best moments in my life--until you came around, that is"I skipped knowing that I shouldn't have said that. "Just as I loved Camille, I could feel that he loved me as well" I continued. "We started of as friends so we had a lot
Clara's POVThe following day, I open my eyes slowly just to be blinded by the sun rays.Groaning, I climbed down from the bed to close the window blind. Returning back to the bed, I sit on top; admiring Donald's sleeping face until my phone rings, interrupting the moment. I moved out of the bedroom to answer it; it was Jessincth. "Yes, Jessincth?""I don't mean to disturb you ma'am but there is a Mr. Camille here to see you"I stilled. What was Camille doing at my office?. I know we were supposed to meet today but he didn't text me the time and place. "Thank you for informing me, I'll be there soon""Okay, ma'am"Camille, what on earth are you thinking? In haste, I sprint back into my room to see Donald wide awake. "Where were you?""I had a phone call"He taps the bed. "Well, if you're done, come back to bed"I let out a soft laugh, approaching him to place a light kiss on his lips. "As much as that offer sounds tempting, I have to get to work. The phone call earlier was because
Jason's povThe next day while I was at work, I instantly put a call through to Dexter. "Have you found Joe yet?""Not yet"Disappointed, my voice sounded more rough than expected. "You said you would have found him by morning!""Chill man, I'm not the one that helped him escape"I exhaled deeply. "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm busted really desperate to find him""And we will. Remember who I am, right?. I'm Dexter, the computer genius that owes you his life"I let out a soft laugh. "Saying you 'owe me your life' is a bit of a stretch, isn't it?""Well, it's true""Alright. Just let me know when you find any leads, okay?""Sure"Hanging up, I threw myself down into work to get Joe out of my head. I also suppressed the urge to call Violet and ask how she was doing. I didn't want her to feel pressured by my concerns. "Is everything alright, Sir" Alex asked. "Something seems to be bothering you""It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night so in quite uptight this morning""Do you
Violet's PovI had barely set my feet into the hospital when I heard Nurse Abby voice calling out to me. I didn't stop walking, rather I slowed my pace until she got to where I was. "Good morning." She greeted me and I nodded in response. "What's my schedule for today?" I asked, signing in for the day. "You got an almost free day today. After making your daily rounds in the children's ward, you have a patient by eleven and another by two pm." "Let's begin, shall we?" I asked. "Yeah." She replied and together we began to head for the children's ward. On getting to our destination, I was greeted with the smell of disinfectant mixed with the smell of children. For some, this combo made them sick, not in my case though. Maybe it was because of my love for children which led me to becoming a pediatrician. Anyway, I couldn't help but smile as I looked around the ward. "Raven left already." I noted. "Yeah. Her grandma insisted she got discharged when you left yesterday." She replied
