CLARA’S POVI felt dizzy again as I almost fell on my face this time around.It's been two whole days and I still haven’t been able to sleep properly due to all the house chores that were kept for me to do.I had no choice but to wake up so early when the others were sleeping so I would be done with the chores before my stepmother woke up.After about an hour of washing dishes and cleaning the house, I decided to rest on the floor for a while at the corner of the living room since I wasn’t allowed to ever sit or lie on the couch.In the process of trying to rest, I didn’t know when I fell asleep.A few minutes later, I noticed that I was lifted from the ground but I was too dizzy to realize whatever was going on and as soon as I came back to my senses, I was thrown into the pool.“Just observe the look on her face!!!” Julius, my stepbrother said as he laughed.“It is completely priceless!!” Jerry, my second step brother, also said as he joined in the laughter.I was struggling so hard
CLARA’S POV“Is she dead??? Why is her eyes opening and shutting like that??? I told you to leave this girl alone, do you want me to get arrested?!!!” I heard some voices saying as I tried opening my eyes.I tried to open my eyes but with great difficulty.Suddenly water was poured on me as I got back to my senses.I slowly opened my eyes as I saw my step family surrounding me.“Welcome back to the world of the living.” Jerry said.“Be quiet!!!” my step Father yelled.I stood up from the ground as I looked at my body covered in fresh bruises.“Go inside and clean yourself up.” My step Father said as he walked away.I walked back into the storeroom where I was asked to stay and took off my clothes.As I looked at the new bruises forming in my body and down to my stomach, tears dripped down my face as I cursed my fate.I was malnourished and underfed and because of that, I didn’t look my age.My Mother died when I was at the ripe age of seven and although I didn’t understand the full de
WRITER’S POVClara looked on in confusion as she didn’t understand what was going on.“I asked you a question, who gave you the permission to eat my food??” Seraphina asked as she looked at Clara with anger.“I am sorry Madam, I just thought that since everyone is eating, I should also eat something.” Clara said.“Eat something?? Are you the one who bought the food items?? Did you give me the money to buy them??”“No I didn’t.”“So what gave you the right to think you should have a share??”“Nothing, I am sorry.”“You better be…you are not to eat anything in this house till tomorrow..am I understood??“Yes Madam.” Clara said.“Good, now get lost.” Clara stood up from the floor and went into her room as she broke down in tears.Her stomach grumbled loudly indicating that it needed to be fed.Deep down, Clara knew she wouldn’t survive starvation till the following day being the fact that she didn’t eat previously and she was getting weak due to the beating she received from her step mo
ARSENIO’S POVMy phone suddenly started ringing and I closed my laptop and checked the calling ID.In hope of hearing the news I have been waiting for, I picked up the phone.“Hello Sergio, has my package arrived??” I asked.“There is a problem, boss.” he said.“What Fucking problem is that!!!!” I yelled in anger.“The package is nowhere to be seen.”“What do you mean by my package is nowhere to be seen?? Don’t Fuck with me Sergio.”“I am serious boss….at first I got a call that there was some mix up and then I found out that the package was missing.”“Where are you??” I asked in anger.“I am at the warehouse boss.”“Just wait for me there and I will be on my way now.”“Okay boss and what about the delivery guys??”“Make sure no one fucking leaves until I get there.” I said as I hung up the call.“Baby, what’s the problem??” I looked at my bed and remembered the blondie I picked from the club last night was still there.“Get dressed and leave.” I said.“But baby.”“I said get dressed
CLARA'S POVI squinted my eyes trying to open them as a bright light shone into them and after a while of trying, I finally opened my eyes looking around in confusion.At first I thought I was already dead and probably in the Afterlife.“Young lady, can you hear me??” Someone asked.I looked up at her and saw her wearing clothes that I have only seen doctors wear and that was when I realized I was at the hospital.“I can hear you….why am I here and how did I get here??”“some young men brought you here unconscious.” She said.It was at that moment that memories started flowing through my head and I remembered everything including the stranger who saved me.“Can I go home now please??”“I am afraid you can't.” She said.“Why??” I asked in confusion.“Because from the tests carried out on you, we noticed you have two broken ribs, fresh and old bruises and also underweight.” She said.“But I feel fine.”“Where are your parents??” She asked.I knew that if I involved any of them, they wou
CLARA'S POVI stood there in shock listening to their conversation.“What do you mean kill her??? Like actual kill??” Jerry asked.“Of course or don't you want to get her out of the way??” Jerry asked.“Well I want to but killing her wasn't a part of the plan.”“Are you in on it or not??? If you aren't, just let me know and I will do everything myself.”“Okay, fine….what is your plan??” Jerry asked.“First we wait till when mom and dad leave the house and then we take her and throw her into the pool..she can't swim and so it will be easy as we watch her die and when mom and dad get back and ask what happened, we will tell them she jumped inside herself.” Julius said.“Well that is not a bad plan…but when are we going to do this?? Remember Julia is always spoiling our plans.”“Don't worry about Julia, I will take care of her and this is going to be done tomorrow.”As I was about to tiptoe my way back, I mistakenly hit something earning a gasp from me.“Who is there??” Julius asked.I g
ARSENIO’S POVI entered the car and was driven back home.I went straight to my mini bar in my living room and poured myself a glass of wine but as I remembered my package was still missing, I threw the glass as it shattered into pieces on the ground.“What was that noise Renio??” Irene, my housekeeper asked as he ran out in fear.“Nothing.” I said.She was the only one allowed to call me Renio as I have established a form of relationship with her over the years.Over the years, she has been the only one who could tolerate my excesses and even when she had every reason to leave, she didn't as she stayed back for me.She looked around and saw the pieces of shattered glass on the ground and she sighed deeply.“What is actually the problem dear??? Ever since you came back, you have been so unsettled and you get pissed off so easily.”“Things aren’t going so well for me at the moment…I regret coming back here!!!”“Don’t say that…it’s been five years since you visited and you are already h
CLARA’S POVI opened my eyes slowly as a bright ray of sunlight flashes through making me squint my eyes.The memories of what happened before I was knocked out came flooding into my head as I sat up with fear.“I see you are finally awake.”I looked by my side and saw the same person I was pleading with to spare my life.“Where am I?? What am I doing here??” I asked in fear.“I think the right question to ask is why you are still alive.” he said.“Do you plan on killing me??”“Well, it depends on how you answer my questions.”“But I have told you everything I know.” I said as tears dripped down my eyes.“Be quiet!!!!” he yelled in anger.The fact that I was in a total stranger’s house made me shiver in fear.“I am going to ask my questions and you better answer each and everyone of them truthfully or else I won’t hesitate to kill you…am I understood??” “Y..y..yes…s…sir.” I said stuttering.“Good…now my first question…what were you doing at the place we met you that too in the middle
ELIJAH’S POV“Where did you say he is right now???” I asked as my blood Boiled in rage.“Seychelles boss.”“That son of a bitch is in Seychelles when he is well aware of his Mother’s condition???!!!” I yelled as I smashed my phone on the wall.“Sir, I heard a smashing sound..is anything the matter??” My housekeeper said as she ran into my room.“Did I give you the permission to barge into my room??” I asked in anger.“No sir, I just thought…”“Get lost!!!!” “Y…y…y….yes sir.” she said as she raced out of my room.I took my car keys and stormed out of the house as I drove like a maniac to my Mother’s house.Ever since the incident that led to her being hospitalized, she had not been the same again as she barely eats or speaks to anyone.The doctor said it’s depression and that the state of her mind is very weak at the moment and all of these happened because of that bastard.After arriving at my Mother’s house, I stormed again into the living room.“Welcome sir.” Janice, my Mother's ho
CLARA’S POV“The one and only Arsenio Robert!!!” Grey yelled as he walked closer to us.“Henson you bastard!! Long time no see.” Arsenio said as they both shared a long hug.At that moment, I silently prayed for the earth to swallow me whole because what were the chances that Grey and Arsenio would be old time friends.“How have you been Arsenio?? It’s been what?? Ten to fifteen years??”“I know right…i’ve been good…busy here and there and I just came back to Italy a few months ago.”“Oh that’s amazing man…” Grey said as his eyes suddenly met mine.I averted my eyes immediately from Grey’s as Arsenio looked at me with a weird expression on his face.“And who is this pretty damsel beside you??” Grey asked.“Get your eyes off my woman Grey…I last heard you got married two years ago isn't that right??” Arsenio asked as he chuckled.“He is even married, just perfect.” I said to myself.“Well, you know how things are…it’s nice to meet you, miss???.” Grey asked as he extended his hands for
CLARA’S POV“Is he your brother?? Or rather the one you have been running from??” Grey asked.“You have to leave now Grey!!!” I said.“Leave?? Why should I??? I told you earlier that I am not scared of anyone…if you want me to deal with him, I would do that in a heartbeat.” “You do not understand.” I said as I saw him walking towards us with an angry look on his face.Before he could get to us, I walked closer to him.“Sergio, what are you doing here??” I asked, nervously.“Boss has been searching through every nook and cranny of this island and you are here whoring around???” Sergio asked.“Don’t you dare call her a whore…look, I don’t care who you are to her but don’t speak to her that way just because she wants to have a little bit of fun.” Grey said as he walked closer to Sergio and I.“Stay away from this Grey, it doesn’t concern you.” I said as I glared at him.“It concerns me alright…especially when a pretty damsel like you is being disrespected.”“Stay the fuck out of this!!!
CLARA’S POVAs much as I was extremely excited that Arsenio took me along with him to the Seychelles, I still wondered why he did so.He was one to never allow me out of the house and suddenly taking me on a trip or vacation or whatever this is, definitely looked suspicious.After he wrapped his arms around me and fell asleep, I became quiet for a while as I patiently waited for him to fall deeper asleep and when I finally confirmed that he was, I carefully unwrapped myself away from him and tiptoed away from the room.I was also watching out for Sergio and so when I didn't see him in sight, I was glad as I ran off towards the opposite side of the beach apartment.I ran till I was certain that Arsenio couldn't get through to me anytime soon.“Are you in any form of trouble??” Someone asked as I turned around in fear.I met a man standing there looking all hot and also dripping wet like he just came out from swimming.I hung my mouth open as I couldn't find any words while I gazed inte
ARSENIO'S POV“Arsy??? Wait, So you do fucking remember!!!!”“What??” Clara asked as she avoided eye contact with me.“Don't fucking play dumb wirh me Clara, I know you remember everything.”“Okay fine!!! I do remember some things but not everything though!! Still kinda hazy in my head.”“What exactly do you remember, Clara??” I asked.“Boss, your ride is here…are you ready to leave?” Sergio asked as he interrupted my conversation.“Yes.” I said, slightly annoyed.Clara, Sergio and I walked over to the car and hopped in while our things were being loaded in the truck of the car.“Sir, where are we?? This place is extremely beautiful.” Clara said as she looked around in awe.“We are currently in Seychelles and relax Clara because you haven't seen anything yet.” I said with a smirk.We headed off to the island apartment that was booked and as soon as we got out of the car, Clara ran in excitement towards the beach.“Sergio, take the things to the apartment and also be attentive and high
ARSENIO'S POV“Oh fuck it!!! I can’t hold myself any longer.” I said as I kissed Clara again.I wanted her so badly and the little string of self control I had left snapped when Clara bit her lips asking me why I stopped what I was doing to her.I could tell she wanted me as much as I did her.“Arsy, I want you now.” Clara said I'm between kisses.I slowly and gently lifted her up and unzipped my trousers and I also slid down Clara's panties.“I want to be on top of you.” Clara said.“What???”“ I want to be on top of you, Arsenio.” She repeated.WARNING (MATURE CONTENT)I sighed deeply as I sat down on the couch with my fully erect dick.Clara carefully crossed her legs over my lap as she slid my dick softly into her pussy while moaning out loudly in the process.“Oh fucking hell!!!!!” I moaned out.She suddenly started moving her hips in a circular motion as I threw my head back while rolling my eyes.Whatever Clara was doing felt so fucking good and I could feel every inch of her w
WRITER'S POV“A child for a child Rafeal.”“What the hell do you mean by a child for a child??? Did I do anything to Clara???” Rafeal asked.“You will know the answer to that question when I am done with you Rafeal but for now just know that your darling wife as we speak is on the move to another country with the other of your kids and if you want her to come back here to you, then get my daughter from the hands of that riffraff.” Rafeal suddenly burst into laughter.“I've always known you to act in a funny way or exhibit funny behaviors but I never pegged you for a joker.” Rafeal said.“A joker??? Oh you think what I just said is a joke right???”“Of course it's a sick joke…Seraphina who left this house a few hours ago without anything is boarding a plane right now to another country with my kids??? Oh please!!!”Tiziana suddenly reached out for her phone and then turned the screen around to show Rafeal the picture of his wife and kids in the airport.“Is this your wife and kids or
WRITER’S POVRafeal is seen sitting on the couch in his living room while watching a tv program with his son Julius.“Where did you say your Mother and the rest of your siblings went??” he asked his son Julius.“I don’t know Father…she only asked me if I wanted to go along with her and I said no.”“Why did you say no??” “Because I didn’t feel like it, Father and I think I have an upset stomach.” Julius said.Rafeal shook his head in pity as his eyes were fixed back on the screen.“Father, Can I ask a question??”“If it’s a stupid question, do not even bother asking because I won’t answer.” Rafeal said.“It is just something that has been on my mind for a while now and it’s bothering me.”“Ask.”“Father, what about Clara??” Rafeal sat up straight as he glared at Julius.“What about Clara??? Why are you mentioning her name and who gave you that right to do such???!!!”“Please don’t be angry at me Father..I just wanted to ask when she is coming back to the house…I feel bad for what we
ARSENIO’S POV“He asked me to be his girlfriend.”“What did you just say??” I asked.“He asked me to be his girlfriend….although not in a ladylike manner but he still asked me the proper way and I would have accepted his proposal.”At that point, I was so enraged that I wanted to get off the plane and go rip out Alonzo’s heart.I pulled Clara close to my warmth as I gazed intently into her eyes.“You are mine Clara and no one else’s…am I understood??” “No.”“I said, am I understood??”“Y…y…es.” Clara said with a smile.“Why are you smiling?? Did I say something funny??” I asked.“Am I really yours??”“Yes, you are all mine.”“Then why don’t you ask me out?? Ask me properly to be yours??? Because I don’t understand what I am to you, Arsy.”For the first time in my life, I was dumbfounded and had no idea how to answer Clara’s question.She definitely meant more to me than I admitted to myself but what she was exactly and her position in my life was something I couldn’t understand.“Ars
