Chapter 49FLORA'S POVI woke up so early to prepare what the children would need while I was away. I needed to see some friends, I have been indoor since, and my friends needed to see me today. Alex was now good to stay on his own with his brother so, it was just to prepare what they would have to be at home.I first of all went to the kitchen to prepare food for them. When I was done with preparing the food, I went to the children's room to wake them up.“Get up…kids.” I clapped my hands.Alex yawned and turned while Kelvin was still sleeping like he wasn't hearing me.“Good morning aunty Flora.” Alex greeted rubbing his eyes.“Good morning baby boy, how do you feel today?” I smiled.“More better and free” He opened his arms showing that he was strong.I was happy that he was no longer ill. “Kelvin.” I called him.He did not respond.“Don't play with me today.” I shook him until he was up.“Ahh…aunty Flora I was still sleeping.” He complained.“You love pretenses and I was not rea
Chapter 50CLARA'S POVWhen Callum was done with me, I laid down there like I had no life in me. I was weak and couldn't move, he didn't just get through me. He beat me while doing this, I had bruises and marks on my face. My hair looked like that of a bad woman. I woke to find myself in my room, I rolled out of the bed and struggled on the floor to reach out to something. The pains I felt while doing this was something else. I could not stand erect, I just have to be bending or be still continued rolling on the floor.Furthermore, I heard a knock on my door. I tried to be strong so that I can reach for who was at the door, but everything was happening the opposite.I was shaking but still had to be strong so that I can reach for the door. I struggled to grab the handle and bent it.It was a maid who came to offer me coffee. I had ordered for this, a very hot one to see if I would feel any difference.“Good morning ma.” She greeted with the cup in her hands. “Go…mor…" The pain kept
Chapter 51CALLUM'S POVI got out of my house early because I wanted to get to work early. I never really had anything to do at work, I just wanted to get out of the house. The whole thing there in the house was fucking boring.Clara was just a pain in the ass, she comes up with things that would make me punish her then I'll be the one irritated by it. She was just like a lifeless wood lying there. I could not look at her twice, so I left the room immediately.When I got to the company, my personal assistant welcomed with a great deal that I haven't gotten in a month.“This is the best news I can get today.” I said.“Yes sir, I was glad to get the offer too.” He clenched his fingers.I took the papers once again and walked to my office while reading it, I handed over my bag to him while he followed me behind. I got yo my office, and he opened the door while I walked in.“This is really great, but what is the company's share?” I asked stretching the paper back to him.“It is a 50, 50 t
Chapter 52CALLUM'S POVSince I got back home my dad has been calling me and disturbing that I should come home. I did not know what was going on. He was just so eager to see me all of a sudden, and I don't know why.I got up reluctantly from the bed and walked to the mirror. Looking in a mirror I found out that my gears were due for shaving. “That would be something we would do later.” I said and proceeded to brush my teeth. I was not in a hurry to meet my dad at all. I just took everything on a slow pace knowing that I would still get the there by the end of the day. I picked up my phone and dialed my personal assistant number.“Hello Good morning boss.” He greeted.“I would be unavailable for today and probably tomorrow, so keep in touch with everything in the company. I do not want us to run ang lose.” I instructed.“Alright sir" He replied.“Good. Anything you do not understand, you drop them until I am available to attend to them” I added.“Noted sir.” He responded.With this
Chapter 53LEAH'S POVI tried to ignore the fact the memories of me having a hard time with Damon was shooting back in my head. I never thought this was going to happen, but it happened anyway so all had to do was to make sure Callum never know that I am seeing his brother not to talk to him knowing that I made out with him.All this was as a result of drunkenness and maybe that was the wrong time I was supposed to be in the house. If only I met him before he got out to get himself drunk.Well, that aside. I do not want to think of such.It has happened, maybe that was for his brother, Callum not giving me that chance.I rolled my hair up and started my makeup, I needed to see Callum. He must be missing me who knows. I had to keep being in touch with him even when he doesn't see the good of it.I made sure I applied everything to make it good and beautiful, I mix thoroughly. When I was done, I was glowing.I could not stop making poses and admiring myself in the mirror, I felt like a
Chapter 54FLORA'S POVThe children and I got back from where we went to. It was such a stressful day, I had to take them out of the house so they don't repeat what they did when I was away.I find it to be as a result of them staying home all day, they never had the chance to go to school. “Alex bring the bag.” I called out removing my watch. While touring the little town, I got some groceries and what we would prepare this evening for dinner. “Aunty Flora, Kelvin took more smoothie” he reported.“Kevin.” I called out, but he ran away.“You know that we are to take that after we have had dinner, right?” I shouted.Kelvin has been stressing throughout today, even when we were outside, he keeps making me shout and throw things at him.He was the roughest child Clara has. “Aunty Flora, I need more." I said from the corner he was at.“You dare not touch that, you have taken you part of the smoothie.” I continued with taking out the items from the bag.“Aunty Flora no…" Kelvin came ou
Chapter 55CALLUM'S POV.I had sleepless nights all through. I was expecting Clara to stop whatever joke she was doing and come back home, but she did not. I have never been this concerned about an issue like this.I just don't want her to escape. I know she was kidnapped.“What the fuck. My head is not thinking steadily.” I hit my forehead.“God knows I was after Clara not escaping.” I muttered.Every other reasons why I should be worried was trash. I had not heard from Flora or Fred. They went silent ever since yesterday. I mean I was supposed to be getting a minute update.So good she had a friend like Flora. She was extra concerned about the whole issue, the boldness she took to meet me and report the case to me was what I found fascinating.Though I could see that she was scared and could not talk freely she still had to put up that courage and speak to me.I was beginning to consider her a good person.“Jesus Callum.” I called myself.I cannot believe I was thinking about her in
Chapter 56DAMON'S POVI could see that surprise look on her face when she aw that I was the one who took her. She tried to hold her anger as she stepped backwards.I had always thought of a way to see her privately. I really wanted to have her back. I never wanted Leah to know about my plan because I know that she had a grudge against Clara, and she would want to do something stupid to her.I just wanted it to be me and Clara, and I was happy that was successful. I entered fully into the room and smiled. She was not looking happy in any way. She hated the fact that I was the one around.Ever since Clara left I began to miss her and the stupid coincidence about everything that happened was that she fell for my brother.The one I hated the most.I mean no one else if was that stupid boy named Callum. I had a chance to bring her back into my life, but Callum would always feed her with lies, and she was going to listen to that.“Hey Clara.” I greeted.She ignored me.“What am I doing her
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
