Second Chance For Him? 148. That one incident
Clara's POVFor a moment I remained rooted to my spot, a sense of disappointment gradually settling in my heart. Why didn't Keith let me know what matters he had to solve that made him leave like that? I get that it was urgent and he was in a rush, but the way he acted made me feel pretty insignificant.I quickly shook my head 'Cut it out, Clara. What makes you think that way? It's not a big deal, you need to get it.' A voice whispered in my mind. So even though it's hard, I dismissed that thought. The voice was right, I don't want to make a fuss over something so insignificant."Mrs. Morgan-" A voice called out from behind me. I jumped in shock and quickly turned around. A middle-aged woman stood there, her expression shifting to guilt as she looked at me and immediately spoke up. "My apologies, I didn't intend to surprise you. I just want to make sure are you done with your breakfast. Because I’d like to clean them up.""Uh, yes. You may clean them up. Thank you." I answered.The w

Clara's POV"Congratulations Mrs. Morgan, You're pregnant." The doctor said as she passed me my test result."Really?"I still struggle to wrap my head around it because everyone said that I was a barren woman. My hands trembled when read my test result. I gently ran my hand over my still-flat stomach, where James's baby is now living."Thank you, doctor."What a wonderful gift for our two-year marriage on our anniversary day. My husband’s return from his business trip is tonight. How will he react when I share the news with him? I can't wait.'Maybe James wouldn't hate me anymore and would come to love me once he know I will give him an heir.’I swung by the minimarket to pick up some cooking ingredients before heading home. I’m going to prepare James' favorite dish for dinner tonight; it’s going to be a memorable night for us both."Ma'am, you look so happy today. Would you share the reason with me?"Eda, one of the assistants in our home, asked as I was arranging the groceries in th

Carla's POV"Ma'am, you're stunning! Mr. Morgan must be proud to have you as his wife." Eda said as I stepped out of my bedroom. I could only manage a wry smile. If James were truly proud to have me as his wife, he wouldn't have filed for divorce."Are you sure you don't want to wait for Mr. Morgan first?" "No Eda. He'll go straight to the restaurant from his office," "Alright, ma'am, please take care." Eda's expression was slightly puzzled, yet she held back from asking me what was troubling her. She must think it was odd to attend my anniversary dinner by myself.Though I and James never showcase any intimacy, our assistant knows that my relationship is in perfect harmony. Little did they know that our marriage will end in a matter of days.Will I be able to see Eda and everyone I’ve thought of as family once I leave this house? I drifted into a reverie as our car smoothly navigated through the shimmering city lights.The restaurant that James reserved was lavish, and this was

Clara's POV"Clara!"The pool turned out to be as deep as a man-made lake, and it was hard for me to stay afloat. James quickly took off his suit and was ready to jump in."James, what do you think you're going to do?” But Zoe stopped him.“You're going to get your clothes soaked! Just let the waiters do the job."I made my way to the edge, searching for a spot to grip and pull myself up. But this chill numbs my body, and my dress severely limits my movement."Just let her, James; she wouldn't have fallen if she didn't act so stupid."The waiters quickly came over soon after. Someone quickly came down to help me get to the edge of the water faster, and then they lifted me out. "Here's the towel ma'am, you can also change your clothes if you want."Zoe then reached out and touched me, but I immediately pushed her hand away."Clara? What's wrong with you? I just wanted to help you. Look, you're all soaked. You need to dry off soon to avoid getting sick. Come to the bathroom; let me help

Clara's POV"You can stay in your old room," Lily said as we reached the second floor of my uncle's house."Is it alright for you to bring me here?" I’m asking because I remember Auntie Jena doesn’t like having me at her house at all."Yes. Don't worry about Mom and Dad, I will speak to them.""Thank you so much, Lily."When Lily left, I stepped into my old bedroom. This space was once a storehouse; this room just had a single bed and a wardrobe, we didn't have money to purchase additional furniture back then. Once I got married, it looked like my uncle and aunt decided to leave this room unoccupied. I got into the shower and slipped into my old pajamas. Then a wave of drowsiness washed over me, and I drifted off to sleep. The sun was shining brilliantly when I woke up the next morning. I hopped into the shower and threw on some clothes. I was brushing my hair when there was a knock echoed from the door. "Wait a minute..." I rushed to open the door and saw David, my older cousin, s

Clara's POV"How could James did that to you?” Emma asked. “He is a jerk." She's my only friend, the first person I call as soon as I step out of my uncle's house. No one from my family has reached out to me in the last few days, but I’m not surprised since they’ve never really been there for me.No one cares where I am or what I'm doing. But I was thankful I still have Emma. She stayed over and gave me some support."Because the love of his life has returned, so James wants to end our marriage," I said.Emma grasped my hand firmly."I know you can stop loving him and get through all of this, Clara; you are truly one of the most resilient people I've ever known.""Thanks. I will start looking for a job from now on." I've realized that I can no longer rely on James. "I need to take care of myself and the baby-" I promptly shut my mouth. Nearly let it slip!"What do you mean? What's baby?"I shook my head. "Forget it. I sometimes say nonsense. Tomorrow we leave at 8, right?" I change t

Clara's POV"Oh, I don't mean any offense, but honestly, I was surprised to see you here in that ridiculous outfit. By the way, what are you doing? Do you work as their sales girl?" Zoe chuckled softly.I noticed the sarcasm reflected in her gaze."Whatever I do is none of your business, Miss Sinclair. Excuse me, I have to go back." I cut her off; I didn't want to have any conversation with her.But Zoe stopped me just as I was ready to leave her. She raised her left hand in front of my face, and the breathtaking diamond ring that was on her finger immediately drew my attention."Call me Mrs. Morgan." She said with delight, "Isn't this beautiful? This is not our official wedding ring, but James insisted I purchase it. He said it would look very beautiful on my finger."The ring was indeed gorgeous, with a large diamond that sparkled brilliantly. The cost must have been very high. I held my clothes tightly, the weight of my wedding ring still resting on my finger.And It was just a coup

Clara's POVKeith and I were both shocked to see each other here. From what I know, he was in charge of a international branch of Morgan's business group. He lives with James' grandfather.When did he get back? "Oh, hey Keith." I greet hesitantly, placing the drink on the table, "When did you come back?" "Yesterday." Keith offered a comforting smile that instantly eased the tension in the room. “Great to see you again, Clara. How are you? Are you with James now?"I know Keith noticed my uniform, yet he chose not to ask about it. I understand he wants to avoid further awkwardness and I genuinely respect him for that. "I'm doing well." I turned to Bill. "Now may I excuse myself? Some things need to be tidied up in the back." And as soon as he nodded, I quickly made my way back.Once the exhibition concluded and we wrapped up the cleaning, I was ready to head home with Emma when I noticed a sleek black Mercedes Benz parked in the lot. I squinted and spotted Keith gesturing at me.Af

Second Chance For Him? 147. Interrupted
Clara's POVThe next morning, I woke up with no memory of when we had drifted off the night before. Last night was amazing, times flew by without me even noticing. After dinner, we just chatted about anything and after that, Keith suggested we took a stroll around the villa's garden, and I couldn't say no to that. I'm not gonna pass up the chance to explore this lovely little spot.After taking a moment to scan the room and collect my thoughts, I finally pushed myself up. We spent the night in a room that had a direct view of the pool. When I woke up earlier, the room was already empty; Keith, who was supposed to be sleeping next to me, was gone.I opened the window and saw some housekeeper tidying up the garden. But when I look around the garden trying to find him, he's nowhere to be seen. He might have been in the kitchen or the living room right now. Before heading downstairs, I decided to head to the bathroom for a quick refreshing shower.I headed down the stairs as soon as I hea
Second Chance For Him? 146. Secrets and suprises
Clara's POVI heard the sound when the door swung open and then I was guided onward and onward. As soon as we stepped into the open space, the fragrant scent of nature filled the air around me.“Have we arrived yet? I'm starting to feel impatient." I whispered, bringing my hand to the blindfold that was covering my eyes.The oppressive darkness is becoming increasingly intolerable. I felt so frustrated not being able to see anything at all while my other senses were picking up on the fact that we had arrived in a new place.The coolness of the night air brushed against my skin, and the softness of the grass under my flat shoes made it clear we were now in an outdoor space."Just five more steps," Keith murmured. His breath brushed against the back of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. I was so curious about where he was leading me. But I choose to fully put my trust in him for my safety. He wouldn't take me somewhere dangerous, would he?I counted within myself. And right on t
Second Chance For Him? 145. Splited affections
James' POVI held onto her arm tightly and pushed Zoe away until there was enough space between our bodies. Her audacity to touch me only fueled my already raging anger. My rage must be obvious on my face because now Zoe is looking at me with a pained expression.“James? Why are you pushing away your wife's touch? I miss you so much." She whispered, her eyes brimming with sadness as tears began to gather at the corners.The same eyes that have been my everything for years now make me feel nauseous when I look at them. Zoe is aware that she can easily win my sympathy because of how much I care for her, and right now, she's trying to take advantage of that.I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all these years, she used the same eyes and tears to fool me and my family. Stealing the gift my father gave to my mother, and then making someone else take the blame.I can't believe that all this time the woman I married was so wicked."What brings you here? Get out of here now." Hol
Second Chance For Him? 144. Between us
James' POVI gazed out at the vast sea of shimmering city lights while another shot of whiskey slid down my throat, closing my eyes for just a moment. Trying to savor the tranquility of the night air, something I don't often get to experience.My phone in my hand is ringing again with a call from Zoe. She has no idea I'm in NYC at the moment, and I bet she called to find out about my whereabouts. I haven't answered any of her countless calls since yesterday. I honestly have no idea why she keeps trying to reach out to me.Wasn't what happened last time obvious enough that I didn't want to see her again?I took another sip of my whiskey just as another ring echoed through the room. I clicked my tongue and set the glass down on the table. I have a feeling this is just another useless call, not from the person I'm actually waiting for. Just as I was about to toss my phone onto the couch, I noticed my mother's name pop up on the screen.I tapped the button to answer and asked. "Yes, mom?"
Second Chance For Him? 143. A night for us
WARNING: This chapter contains sexual content, kindly skip it if you're uncomfortable.Clara's POVI wasn't asked for these; he took the initiative on his own. And to be honest, it's nice to have a man who genuinely cares about the little things we need. It's always about the effort he puts in, not the cost."Okay, Die. I need to end our video call now so Keith doesn't have to wait too long. Can you keep me updated about how Layla's doing?" I told her as it hit me that I needed to leave right away."Sure, don't worry. And have fun." She gave a wink before ending the call.I headed over to my closet to pick out a purse that goes well with this dress and tossed in my phone and a few essentials before making my way back to Melissa."Melissa this is for you. Thank you for your help once again." I gave her some cash as a tip for all the help she provided me this evening.But Melissa just shook her head. "No, thank you, that's not necessary. All the work I did for you was included in the p
Second Chance For Him? 142. Treatment
Clara's POVKeith was spot on. Having Melissa assist me with getting ready not only saves time but truly transforms my regular bathing routine into a luxurious experience, reminiscent of a five-star hotel. She helped me out, and to my surprise, instead of feeling a bit uncomfortable by her being around since I'm not used to receiving help, I actually enjoyed her company."You're very lucky; Mr. Morgan is genuinely everything a woman could wish for," Melissa said as we walked into my room with a box of my new dress.We've just finished the bathing and massage session. I’ve stepped out of the bath and wrapped the bathrobe around myself. I'm just about to change into the new clothes that Melissa brought from the living room to my bedroom."These days it's so rare for a man to be so attentive to his woman's needs, don't you think?"I gave a nod. Melissa was spot on. I'm indeed lucky to be the woman in Keith's life. Ever since we were just friends, I always knew that if he ever got married
Second Chance For Him? 141. Pampering day
Clara's POV"Diana, you just gave me an idea. But I don't want to spark a civil war among them."I knew James hated the idea of me being around his family, even around the brother he hated. Keith will go to any lengths to keep me away from James. He'll be curious about how James even managed to show up, and besides, I wouldn't want to disrespect Keith by inviting him to the same event as James."It's the perfect way to get back at him for wasting your time on another woman, ma'am. Is regret all that's left for him now? Let him drown in it." Diana remarked a wicked sparkle in her eyes.Damn, for a moment, her suggestion really caught my attention. And I was so close to doing what she said.But I soon changed my mind about it. No, I won't hurt Keith's feelings just to satisfy my desire for revenge against my ex-husband. What makes Diana so certain that James regrets divorcing me? No, James doesn't regret it. He just didn't want to see me happy."Diana, what's making you smile? What’s s
Second Chance For Him? 140. Something fun
Clara's POVI raised an eyebrow at his unexpected request. How did James thinks it's okay to ask me out for dinner now that we're nothing but strangers, while he never even thought to invite me to dinner when I was his wife."I'm sorry, but I can't. If you have something important to tell me, just go ahead and say it now." But an undeniable curiosity tugged at me, what kind of important topic that James have to wait until dinner to share? It can't be that important, can it? Our marriage is ending, and there's nothing more for us to talk about.“No, Clara. I can't share that with you here." But he insisted, "You don’t work at night; it’s just your employee who works after sunset, right? So why are you turning down my invitation?"His tone really got to me, as if he believed I had nothing better going on. Besides, I have a daughter now. He should understand that I’m busy taking care of Layla when I’m not working.Aside from that, I have my own dinner plans for tonight. The agenda I'm p
