Chapter 2. The Same Nightmare Every Night

"Ah!" Claire woke up from her nightmare.

She immediately touched her stomach, but her flat stomach made her sad.

There was nothing there because her child had died in the fire.

It had been five years since that day, but she repeated the same dream every night. The nightmare where the flames almost took her life.

Thick smoke surrounded her and consumed her, her baby was pale and not breathing, and Jason's cold and cruel appearance also appeared.

Whatever was in that nightmare had killed her. Although five years had passed, when she thought about it, she could still feel the pain.

Suddenly, the phone rang and it was a call from Laura.

"Damn, the opening ceremony is about to start, why haven't you come yet?" Laura grumbled as soon as Claire answered the phone.

She was Laura's personal assistant. Laura had some activities today and Claire had to be at the hotel before the promised time.

Claire hurried off and a few minutes later the taxi pulled up right in front of the hotel. Claire got out of the cab and as soon as she walked in, almost all eyes were on her.

As she went up the elevator, she saw her beautiful shadow self in the glass, because she had undergone plastic surgery, but no one knew that she had severe burns on some parts of her body.

It was horrible and it was a miracle that she survived.

"The Destiny Of Love, is the title of my latest movie, which will be broadcast next Sunday," Laura said during her speech on stage. "And a round of applause for DA Group, which is the biggest sponsor of this movie."

DA Group is a company owned by Jason Bradford. As Claire stood at the door of the auditorium, she heard this.

She was surprised and so scared that she almost trembled.

.

No, this was impossible.

Even though he was the biggest sponsor here, this guy was too busy to attend an event like this, right? With this thought, Claire walked towards the hall and a woman dressed in very luxurious clothes entered and walked almost hand in hand with her.

Claire turned her head slightly and was very surprised, then immediately turned around with her head down.

"Who is she?" Mandy noticed a woman. Although she could only see the back of her body, she could clearly feel that the woman was obviously very beautiful.

"Oh. That's Miss Laura's assistant." Someone who came with her replied.

Claire heard this and almost cried. Mandy was Jason's cousin, and it turned out that she was also a big star now who was very beautiful and brilliant.

While she thought that, she felt that everyone's attention was now focused on the entrance. A noble man walked in with steady steps.

His handsome face showed that he was aggressive, and people could easily feel his pressure.

Jason Bradford?

Seeing his face clearly, Claire stiffened. A shiver ran down her spine and memories of the past came back again and again.

Jason could not see her, not at all, or he would send her back to prison for a crime she had never committed.

She had to get to Laura, but she couldn't be here and see Jason. So it would be best if she ran away. But just as she was about to do that, Laura called her name.

"Chloe..." Laura stepped off the stage and her voice rang through the air.

Jason, who had almost passed her, turned his head.

A little embarrassed for shouting so loudly, Laura greeted him, "Mr. Bradford. "

Jason looked at the body with her back to him. "Who are you?" He held Claire's shoulder and felt very familiar with this woman, even though he only saw the back of her body.

His voice was still cold and cruel, something Claire would never forget. She trembled, overcome by anger and hatred.

No, she must not meet him. Even though she had lived in another country and as someone else for more than four years, how could she meet Jason here again?

Her eyes finally fell on the door, and without turning around, she ran towards it.

"Get her!" said Jason. It was an order with an urgent and serious tone as the guards tried to stop Claire from going out the door.

Mandy asked hastily, "Jason, what's going on? Who is that woman?"

Jason didn't answer her. But he ran out, too, and his frantic eyes didn't stop searching.

A bad feeling arose and Mandy looked at him worriedly, "Jason, do you think she's..."

"It's probably her." Jason emphasized in a low voice.

Even though Claire had been pronounced dead at that moment, Jason refused to believe that the burned body was Claire.

"Send people to look for her. I need to find the woman who just escaped." Jason looked very urgent and serious.

Paul, Jason's personal assistant, didn't dare to wait and sent people to check all the places.

Seeing Jason in such a panic made Mandy feel jealous. She was his cousin, but she also loved him.

Claire had died almost five years ago, why was she still bothering this man?

Jason must be wrong. Claire was dead and buried. There was no way she was still alive.
