"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.In a room where cleaning supplies like brooms and others were kept, Claire cowered in the corner and hid, shaking."I really want to kill you.""It's better that you die here." "I told you not to get pregnant! This child doesn't deserve to be born."The truly painful and cruel words spoken by Jason came back to her mind and made Claire cry with a broken heart as she lowered her face to her knees.From the beginning of their marriage, she did everything to please Jason because she loved him, but all she got from Jason was humiliation, coldness, and disgust.Even after they were married, Chloe, Jason's ex-girlfriend, continued to lie and provoke him, and Jason still chose to believe Chloe.He never believed Claire.It hurts, but Claire holds on, hoping that one day Jason will love her.In recent years, after surviving death in a prison fire, Claire believes that Laura was still unpopular and attracted little media attention. So it was impossible for her to meet Jason if she followed La
"Who are you?" Claire took a step back and looked at the man blocking her with annoyance."Miss. Chloe, Mr. Bradford would like to see you, please come with me."He was Jason's man. "Mr. Bradford? The owner of DA Group? But I'm in a hurry, he doesn't know me anyway." Claire pretended not to recognize him and turned to leave, but several men in black suits immediately surrounded her. Claire suddenly turned pale. "What do you want?" She snapped."Mr. Bradford wants to see you, don't be afraid.""But what for? I don't know him." Claire began to shake, "Step aside, I have to go.""Come with us to meet him and we'll see if you know him or not." Paul came and motioned for the guards to take her.Claire immediately panicked, "Let me go, why are you being so pushy? I don't want to see him, I don't want to. Let me go... Help, help..." She didn't want to look at Jason because she hated him so much.* * *At the Bradford house.Just as Jason arrived home, the butler entered his study with two
"Are you disappointed that I'm still alive, Jason?" Claire raised her chin in a challenging manner to Jason.Jason didn't react immediately, then he shouted angrily, "Of course, everyone thought you were dead, even me..." He paused for a moment, not continuing, then said, "But you lived happier than anyone in the last few years?"Claire felt a sense of irony, her broken body wouldn't be able to work one day, but Jason thought she was living a good life?It was only natural that a person who was blind 5 years ago was still blind until now."Claire!" The man was angry and resentful, exploding at the thought of his last five years. The fact that she was still alive upset him greatly. "Tell me honestly, what happened during the fire five years ago? And Alice, where did you hide her?"All he cared about was Alice, right?Claire looked at him stubbornly, "Her disappearance has nothing to do with me.""Impossible!"Hearing that, Claire gave him a cynical smile instead. Of course he didn't be
Inside the women's prison.Claire Wynne slowly reached the door with a big belly.She had been locked up for two days and had eaten nothing because of that man.A piece of bread was kicked near the door and she reached out her red hands to pick up the hard, dirty bread and ate it bit by bit.Suddenly the door opened. "Claire Wynne, you have a visitor," a prison guard said.Without time to think, Claire was roughly dragged and pushed into the visiting room.Behind the door, she finally saw the man she had loved for ten years."How is your mother?" She asked sadly."How dare you ask that!" Jason Bradford suddenly grabbed her by the neck and looked extremely cruel, as if he wanted to kill her. "Because of you, my mother will never wake up again. It's okay that you tricked me into sleeping with you and kidnapped Alice. I can let all that go. But how dare you hurt my mother when she loves you so much!"Claire could only shake her head. She had loved him since they were in college, but she
