CLARA'S POVI began my journey of looking for a job opportunity, the bar that I had been staring at for long was what I wanted to try out.I took a deep breath and walked towards the door. I opened the door slowly and went inside. There were lots of people in the bar, I tried to escape every eye and went to meet the person at the counter.When I got there. I could feel my stomach already grumbling.“Hi, good evening.” I greeted with a smile.“Good evening ma'am, what do we offer you?” The person at the counter asked.“Actually I don't want to take anything.” I smiled.“So what then.” He asked confused.“I…I need to…I need to see the owner of this place.” I asked so low.“What for?” He spread his arm.“Am I restricted from seeing the owner of this place?” I asked opening my hands.“No, but for now, he is unavaila....” He paused and looked at the person who came in.“Ohh he is here.” He pointed at a man behind me.I turned to see a huge, muscular man walking towards my direction. I was
Chapter 40CALLUM'S POV“Since you threw me out of my job. I have come for one here.” She said.I looked at her when she made this sentence. I was supposed to get angry, but I preserved that anger because I had other ways to punish her.“What if I tell you that there is no vacancy for you?” I smirked while turning my chair.“Then I'll know I just have to die.” She replied stretching her hands.“You would not die, at least not in such a cheap way.” I said.“So…" She rolled her eyes.I do not understand the attitude she was putting on, but I was about to bring that down. Let me assume she was doing all this because she hasn't seen the other side of me yet.I may be the most feared, but she hasn't had a reason to be afraid of me just like everyone else.“You are going to get the job, but first you have to do as I said.” I snapped my fingers.“Please don't tell me it is about staying with you?” She grumbled.“I was not interested in what you were feeling. I just want you to do as I say.”
Chapter 41CLARA'S POVI had looked around and found out that I had no choice but to meet Callum. Everywhere was shut down and that was the only way. Getting into that office was a problem I wonder how I would live with him. For every word he said and for every shout, I could feel the fear running through my spine.I shivered several times in fear. I hated to be afraid of him. Why was I even afraid?Even when I tried several times to act like I could beat him. He would just use his breath to make me weak.After I had fearfully walked out of the office, I went back to the house.On my way back home I kept having different feelings about the whole going to stay with him and work for him. I really wanted a way out, but I was stuck there.I had signed a fucking deal, and now I can't get out of it. What a mess.I got to the house and the first person who welcomed me was a woman I got something from at a nearby shop.“Hey…" I struggled to say.“I have come for my money?” She stretched out
Chapter 42CLARA'S POV“I will. I just need to get the job for many things.” I answered and hugged her before getting into the cab.While I was in the cab, I knew there were a lot of things I was going to face at Callum's place. Like I do not expect him to give me that princes treatment.The thought of my children kept coming back to me, I could feel Kelvin already, Alex the most troublesome of them all, I missed him more.If not for self-control I would cry so loud that the driver would think I lost my memory. The whole journey was quiet, of course who was I expecting to talk to?It was just me and the driver in the cab, and he was minding his business.Hours later I got to Callum's house. I was welcomed by a maid wgi took my bags in.Callum's house was so big, I would call it a mansion. It was painted with white and gold. Well, most of the things there were gold.This man was fucking rich.I had no idea that he has so much money. I see why he was well-respected in the town. His livi
Chapter 43DAMON'S POVThe day kept running by as I knew less of what was going on. The company was slowly loosing from my hands. I began to lose contracts and deals were being cut off. Everything was just a mess around me. I had no idea what my father was up to, but I hated the fact that I was left behind. I should be carried along with everything.If felt reluctant about going to work, I had no important reasons to be at work that day. I just wanted to rest and look for a way to build things back.I heard my phone ringing.“Ohh, who would it be again…" I grumbled trying to reach the phone.Before I could get to the phone the call has ended. I opened the phone app to see who called. I found out it was my assistant.“Thought it was something better.” I sighed and dropped the phone back.Just when I was about to go, the phone began to ring again. I rolled my eyes and picked up the phone in anger.“What is the problem?” I asked, my voice sounding so deep.“Good morning sir. Please, we
Chapter 44CLARA'S POV.It was the morning for me to start work.I knew how hectic the whole day is going to be. I struggled out of the bed this morning trying to realize what happened last night and how I slept off.The whole thing did not come back, it was more like just a half of what happened that I came back to my memory.I do not know why I was so eager to know how I slept all of a sudden, but all I know is that I had a sound sleep. I have less things to worry about but when awake things are many to think of. If staying around people would make you forget your thoughts, imagine now sleeping.Oh my gosh.I ran to check my face in the mirror, my hair was kind of scattered. I still had no idea what happened.I pack my hair and began to prepare for work. I was trying to search for what to wear before I heard the alarm's clock speaking out the time.“The time is 8 o'clock.” It said.“What….” I shouted and rushed into the bathroom with the toothbrush inside my mouth.What the fuck wa
Chapter 45CALLUM'S POVI had started giving out instruction to Clara on how she shoots to carry out the work. There were many works coming in, so I needed her help with this one, not going to lie. I made signatures in the other files that I ask my PA to bring them in now he had to more because I had to finish everything that concerns signing.Either they are deal or just mere contracts. My dad had sent in more contract and deal to sign on, so I had limited time to do everything. The whole company was busy, I had heard from everyone else and not Clara. I refused to think she was not doing anything.She would not even try it, of course she knows the consequences of what she was doing. The punishment I had researched for every crime she committed.Soon my door Open and it was Clara.“Speaking of the devil.” I muttered.“Good morning sir.” She greeted and proceeded to drop files.“What took you so long?” I asked even when cared less.My jobs were in her hands and I do not want to hear on
Chapter 46LEAH'S POVI was still enraged with anger about the whole issue even when I had told Damon about it. I felt that I should take things into my hands, the whole situation was becoming tough.Callum was about to stand his ground about making this girl his wife, and I was not ready for that. If there is anyone that would take that shame, it would be Clara. I will pin her to the ground and make her beg for mercy.My face could not go back to normal, I had been frowning for two days now, and it doesn't have to be anybody's concern, but people kept talking about it.I tried as much as possible to keep myself together even when I was breaking. I had stayed long enough in this game for me to just give up like that because of some shitty stuff.I would bring them down to the core, even if it involves me going down with her. That was not going to happen, not when I had his father by my side and my father was in support of it too.It was a three against one or should I say four because
Chapter 87CALLUM'S POVAfter I got the news that the children were mine I couldn't help but be happy. I was mad at Clara that she had to keep such things away from me. I don't know what reason she was trying to say but I let her be.Clara and Flora had left the house to get some of the things they claimed were important while I stayed with the children. I kept looking at them and watching them speak and play.Being around children was cool, that is something I had no time to do. It would be fun if the children were your own. I know the feeling I'm getting now, I don't know how I am supposed to announce that I am a father."You know that I cannot stop you but you have to make your decision." One told the other.They sounded so brilliant and so cool. I loved this, not the rascal ones.I was busy but their conversation made me want to hop in."So children, what are you all talking about?" I tried hard to keep a calm voice."We're playing a hide and seek game." One of them answered."Wow
Chapter 86DAMON'S POVI got to have Clara in my arms again when I brought her in and promised to get her children'. I know that no one was going to take the children apart from Leah. She was the one that was determined to do whatever she wanted.When Clara came to me crying I knew I had won and she would be mind now. It was a matter of time, Callum would be alone."I'll get them and make sure I bring them to you." I assured her.I may not know how that was going to work but I was definitely going to get them.Clara felt safe that moment and that was what I wanted. I did all I could do to make sure that she got her children back. I know the pay back for this was for her to be with me. I stayed days trying to figure out how to meet Leah.She was so unreachable, I tried to call her phone and it didn't go through. The location was out of sight.I really don't see why she had to hide, she knows how I want to be with Clara.After all my efforts, I got to find out that Callum had found the
Chapter 85CALLUM'S POVI was still in the room thinking about what I was going to do with the treat that my dad just gave to me. He was so serious this time. I know that he wasn't joking.Damon wouldn't get that information from no one else apart from my Dad. He was looking for a way to put confusion in the gathering and that was exactly what he did.My whole life I've been fighting for this contract but this time I could not let Clara go. Leah was not the woman I would want to spend a minute with.When I chose Clara over Leah, I knew that something was going to happen . Leah or my dad would do crazy things and I was prepared for it.I would not be surprised if Fred calls me and tells me that the company has been taken down.My father was never to be trusted as he was capable of doing terrible things. Just like his son, Damon. Both of them had the same thing in common.They both wanted the same thing and now that they can't get it. There's a high probability that they would look for
Chapter 84FLORAS POVThere was no way I would hide such a thing from Clara. How was I supposed to tell her what was happening?I searched everywhere for Kelvin and Alex and this time there were nowhere to be found.I had no option but to call Clara. She appeared here in less than an hour. Clara was already breaking down, she was panting and rushed over to me."What happened?" She asked.I stutter. I don't even know where to start explaining from, Clara didn't give me a chance to think she kept holding my clothes and shouting for me to give her an answer."You have to calm down, Clara. You have to listen to me." I tried to speak to her.I know how much effort I'll need to put into making Clara listen to me."You want me to call down and my children are being kidnapped. You don't even know who." She shouted."I can explain what happened." I held her hands."Explaining won't bring back my children. I need you to tell me where my children went." She exclaimed."They were out here. We we
Chapter 83LEAH'S POV"Clara would stay." Callum announced it.When I heard this sentence, I could not move an inch. I wondered where all my help was going, I really thought that Callum would let Clara go. I hated that he still kept Clara even when she was willing to go.I hated that and tried to hold myself. I didn't want to throw myself at him and rant. I had displayed my love enough to Callum and he doesn't see any reason for me displaying it.I got so upset when I heard that Callum chooses Clara over me. I don't see any excuse for him to choose Clara over me.I was rich, my dad had the best company and he could run that, I was beautiful.Clara was nothing but a piece of shit. I just hated her.I left the house in pain when he made this decision."Fine." I clenched my lips and left the house.It was clear that I was not wanted there for some reasons that I don't know. Clara was the person Callum wanted and Damon wanted Clara to ask well. "Was I a spoon?" I hit my car steering.It
Chapter 82CALLUM'S POVI pushed Clara away and left the wedding venue. What audacity did Damon have to talk to me that way? The fact that he had to fight with me was what blew my mind. I could not imagine telling my friends to come to my wedding and it turns out like this.What was he really talking about? I hope he is ready to finish a fight that he started. I tried the vase that was in front of me. I was not ready to speak to anyone. Enough has happened to me today. I had to send down someone to bring Clara back home. When she got back home, she looked like a kid coming for a wedding. Now my brother is at the wedding to make sure things go wrong.I could feel the boiling Sensation to killing anyone that comes. I wanted to just end Damon's Life. The whole gathering would think that I stole Clara from him, meanwhile he was trying to pick her back because he has seen how good she looks now that she is treated right.If he knew how to treat and accept the things that were happening
Chapter 81FLORA'S POVI took Flora in with the way she was shivering and crying. Clara looked very weak. I have never seen her this week and I don't know what might cause it. "What's happening to you?" I asked her."I...I don't...." She kept stammering.I was thinking too much. I can't see her this way. She was so down, she looked like she had been running away from someone."Speak to me. What's going on?" I asked herClara was unable to talk. I was confused about what to do.The up part of her shirt was torn and it revealed her breast.I took her inside and tried to make her sit. When I was sure that she had sat down I rushed to lock the door.She did not talk so I don't know if anyone was after her. I checked the room and made sure that the children were inside.I don't want them to see their mother like this. Alex would begin to get emotional and Kelvin would ask me questions that I would not answer."What is it Clara?" I brought her close."I don't know what is happening Flora.
Chapter 80CALLUM'S POVClara has been testing my patience and speaking rubbish right from the day she was released from the hospital. When I got a call from the police that they found someone I know, I quickly knew that it would be Clara. She would never learn but try to do it in a better way.Getting to the scene I was already ashamed seeing her lie on the floor like a homeless human. I could not even say a word, I just stood there. It was after some minutes that I ordered the ambulance to arrive and take her to the hospital.When she was brought back from the hospital. The questions I asked and the answers I got were two different things. I didn't even know what to say to her.I left her for the meantime because I was too upset to get rubbish for an answer. Clara was suspended from work after what she had done."First it was a woman. Bringing a woman to my company to tell people that I don't pay her and now she is sleeping on the road." I murmured.What was all these for? If she wa
Chapter 79CLARA'S POVI was done with explaining how I got to the room. Of course there was no cool explanation for that. Callum just kept forcing me to speak and I kept saying that I had nothing to say.It was obvious I had nothing to say. I mean was he expecting me to tell him that Leah took me there? Although he would believe it I say it but Leah has her own way of manipulating Callum to do his will but in a way that will please her.I got to my room praying silently that he does not come back for the trail to make me talk. I had stayed indoors until I heard him leaving the house to work.I was excited but I didn't show it because he might come but once I begin to jump. So, I stayed happy and kept myself cool."Oh Clara you just escaped the last thing that would have put you into trouble." I said to myself and gave myself a sigh of relief.I remembered everything that happened but I was not sure about Leah attacking me. I know I say someone like her, what if that was Becky?I swea
