RAFEAL'S POV“I am going to declare Clara missing and If that's the only way to get her back then so be it.”“You must be mad Rafeal!!!!! You want to declare someone who ran away from this house due to potential murder missing??!!!” Seraphina asked.“Seraphina, if you know you have nothing positive to say about getting Clara back please stay off my path.”“Rafeal let me ask you a question, who did your private investigator say that Clara is currently staying with??”“Arsenio Robert, and so???”“Arsenio Robert, the son of the same dangerous mafia man you worked with who almost killed you years ago??” she asked as she scoffed.“What exactly is your point Seraphina???”“My point is that your brain seems to have stopped functioning because if it was, then you would know that Arsenio could be as dangerous as his Father!!!!”“And why do you care if he is dangerous??? The last time I checked you didn't seem to give a fuck about me or my were being.” I said as I rolled my eyes.“Oh don't get
ARSENIO'S POV“I've got bad news boss…the safe house was suddenly attacked by some armed men and they took Clara's Father along with them.” Sergio said.“I know about that.” I said.“You know??? How boss??? I don't understand.”“They are my men…from the moment I saw that Clara's Father declared her missing, I knew he had openly declared war and so I informed everyone I knew about the situation and also told them to inform me of any funny moves he makr and just as I suspected, a few hours before he came to the house, a close friend of mine informed me that he was coming to the house and that he had a backup plan and so I changed his backup plan into mine.”“Wait, how did you execute all of these in Just a short notice boss???”“You should learn from me Sergio, in this dangerous and unpredictable world of ours, you don't think hard but think smart.”“So where are they taking him to???”“A place where he won't be able to spoil any of my plans and when I feel like it, I will let him go bu
CLARA’S POV“I will help you but on one condition.” Arsenio said with a smirk on his face.I was really pressed and wanted to use the restroom but I couldn't lift myself up from the bed without experiencing such excruciating pain and that was the reason I needed his help.“I don't think it's right for you to attach a condition to a sick patient who, by the way, is here because of you.”“It seems like you don't need my help.”“Alright, what condition??” I asked as I sighed deeply.“First, you will stay the fuck away from your Father and never meet him again.”Arsenio's request or condition of me not ever meeting my Father was absurd and unreasonable and for some reasons, I felt he did something to him.“First??? but you said just one condition and by the way, I can't accept this one.”“You know, I can actually take care of it myself.”“What do you mean??” I asked in confusion.“I can see to it that you never see him again.” He said with a smirk.“You aren't asking for a condition anymo
ARSENIO'S POVAs soon as Clara fell asleep, I informed Sergio to bring Irene to the hospital so I would go take care of my unfinished business with Clara's Father.Sergio arrived a few minutes later with Irene.“How are you doing, Renio?? And how is Clara doing??” Irene asked.“I am well and Clara might not be doing so well because she had surgery….I have an important business to attend to and so I am leaving her in your care…on no account should anyone come to visit her and she should be in your sight always.” “I understand…take care of yourself and be careful Renio.”“Thanks Irene…Sergio, let's go.” I said as I entered the car and Sergio drove off.“Take me to the safe house Sergio.”“Right away boss.” It took us about two hours for us to get to the safe house where I asked my men to tie up Clara's Father and watch him before I arrived.The safe house was a place I built in order to carry out my dealings and transactions and it was only a few of my trusted men who knew about it.I
CLARA'S POV“I am your Mother Clara.” The lady said.It took me a while before I could process what she said as I gazed at her intensely and after it finally sunk deep into my head, I suddenly burst into laughter.“I think you missed your way here ma'am….you must be in the wrong room and probably have me mistaken for someone else because my Mother is dead.” I said politely with a smile on my face.“You are Clara Nivera right???” She asked.“Yes I am and this is a hospital so anyone can know my name.” “My name is Tiziana Nivera and I am your Mother….I know you must be confused because all your life, you have been told I was dead but the truth is that I've been alive and well….I almost died but I was saved by someone and have been in hiding for the longest time.” She said.“With all due respect ma'am Tiziana, I still think you have come to see the wrong person because as I said earlier, my Mother is dead.”I didn't want to believe what I heard and the fact that what I have known all my
ARSENIO'S POV“What do you mean??” Irene asked.“I am on my way Irene but for now, keep a close watch on Clara and do not in any circumstances leave her sight!!”“Alright Renio.” Irene said as I hung up the call.“Sergio, take me to the hospital.”“Yes boss.” He said as we hopped into the car and he drove off.As soon as we got to the hospital, I headed straight to Clara's room and when I entered, I could see a worried looking Irene gazing intensely at Clara without noticing my presence.“How is she???” I asked.“Oh, you are back!! Well, I honestly don't know…before she was knocked out, she looked so terrified and it was extremely scary to see because I've never seen her like that before…do you have any idea who the woman she saw was??”“Sua madre (her Mother)” I said.“Mother??? Oh goodness!!! I thought she was dead???!!!!” Irene asked with a shocked expression on her face.“It turned out she isn't and she is right now on a mission to destroy Clara's life.”“Wait what??? She isn't ba
CLARA'S POVI remembered everything the woman who claimed to be my Mother told me.As soon as I woke up and saw Arsenio standing in the room, I felt enraged but I knew I had to find out the truth and that too without his knowledge and so I decided to act like I had slight amnesia.“When can I go home??” I asked.“Tomorrow or a day after.. why are you asking??”“I am tired of the hospital…I want to go home.” I said.“If that's the case, I will see to it that you leave tomorrow because I can see you are getting a whole lot better.”“Alright thank you sir.” I said.He looked at me with a strange look on his face as he raised his eyebrow.“Back to calling me sir again??” He asked.“I don't feel comfortable calling you by your name sir.”“But you do feel comfortable calling me Arsenio in bed.” He said as he smirked.“Shit!” My inner mind exclaimed.“Anyway, let me go work on the discharge papers…I'll be back soon.” Arsenio said.As he was about to walk out of the room, Sergio came to him.
ARSENIO'S POVAs soon as Clara said she didn't remember anything, I knew almost immediately that she was lying.I had no idea what her Mother told her but I had to act very fast and so after sorting out the discharge papers, I left the hospital back to the safe house where I kept Clara's alleged Father, Rafeal.“Are you here to let me go??” He asked as he glared at me.“On the contrary, I am here to offer you a deal.” I said.“A deal with the devil?? No thanks, I'll pass.” He said.“You don't have a choice but to do what I am about to ask and if you refuse, I know where your wife and kids live and I won't spare any of them.” I threatened.“What sort of deal is this???!!!”“A deal where you have no choice but to do as I have asked if you want your wife and kids to still remain alive.”“What is it???”“Clara's Mother has found Clara and I don't know what she told her about me but I noticed Clara's behavior has changed and she even lied to me pretending she had amnesia.”“Didn't I tell y
