' I knew this place was heaven on earth, if a family house can be this beautiful, I wonder what is left in paradise ', Clarisse said in her mind as she gazed through the window, watching the garden in the compound, it looked so beautiful as she watched from above, its garden of flowers and plants was protected by a glassy wall.She decided to take a break and enjoyed the view after sowing the dress she had always been working on but the moment was interrupted when she heard a knock on the door. She has chosen not to leave her room afraid to come across any of the family members so her heart skipped hard when she heard the knock." Come in", she said blinking her eyes and her breath changing.The old man who had come to wake her up in the morning strode in a long with some maids.They bowed slightly before her and she also bowed back unsure of what was going on. They came in with a rail of clothes." Good evening ma'am"," Good evening sir"," Clinton ma'am, please call me that","I..I
Should it say he's an anomaly? Or it was just because of the anomaly situation? Clarisse couldn't comprehend what was going on and how she should be feeling after being complimented for the first time. She gave him a side-eye look and looked away, her chest was beating very fast and the compliment kept ringing over and over in her head.' why is he being so nice? Why did he say I'm beautiful? Why?', she kept thinking." We are here", the Chauffeur's voice broke the silence and Clarisse's heart skipped.' Oh we are here', she swallowed hard but what happened next even got her more confused, surprised and scared. The door was opened with Christian stretching his hand towards her to help her out of the car.' This man is so crazy, she cried in her mind, " Don't worry, thank you", she bowed as she thanked him getting out on her own without taking his hand but he took no offense. He led her into the building.' doesn't the old man say we are having family dinner? Why are we here instead
" You're not expecting me to leave my woman to follow you, are you?", Christian said coldly," Huh?", Alice stood still surprised, ' did he just call her his woman?', she said in her mind and hated it so much.Christian turned to Patricia, " Ain't you close to your daughter? And ain't you close with your sister?", he asked them maintaining his cool and aloofness." Of..of course, we are close", Patricia stammered getting intimidated," And yet you don't know your own daughter's character?"," Of course I do"," Then how is it so different from what you've said, she's so well mannered, cultured, respectful, and above all, exceptionally beautiful, but it's so different from what you've called her to be", he attacked.Patricia was out of words and Ashley and Sharon smirked.' That's my son,' that's my brother ', they both said in their mind.Clarisse was surprised, she opened her eyes slowly and looked at Christian who was busy defending her. She wasn't expecting that at all." And you
Christian stood in front of the window, staring out and watching the rain pour, his mind was occupied, thinking about Clarisse and worrying if she was okay till he decided to go and check up on her. He strode out of his room in a black pant and grey hoodie cardigan and a flip-flop.He stood outside her room contemplating whether to go in or not, or knock before going in. He placed his ear close to the door to see if there was going to be any movement but there was none so he proceeded to go in, opening the door quietly but on getting inside, he saw her quivering vigorously, muttering some words in her sleep and crying.He rushed to her side and had a better vision of her, she was sweating, crying, and shaking forcefully, she seemed to be having a nightmare.He held her palm calling her name softly but it wasn't working and he got confused, she was still shaking so much that he was forced to jump into the bed and pull her closer to his chest, hugging her in her sleep and smoothening he
" Any update?"," He is planning to meet him this week but I'm still digging on when exactly"," You don't know when? What's the essence of paying you if you're not going to do your job right", Kyle yelled at the other person over the phone.He was standing in the middle of the living room, dressed in a black pant and a blue shirt with his sleeves rolled up. He was very pissed at not getting a satisfactory update from his spy. He groaned and nearly hung up when he heard the spy say over the phone," But I have another useful information"," What information"," It's about his new project and his wife, Clarisse".Kyle became more interested and when he heard what the spy had to say, he was intrigued and laughed before hanging up," Things are about to get more interesting".He was very pleased with the new information and turned to go to the bedroom when he bumped into the lady who was standing behind him." What are you doing?", he asked as she stood before him with her hand folded,"
Just as Christian and Clarisse arrived at the hospital, Patricia got a message from her spy, a message that awakened every evil thought in her and caused her to smirk before calling on her daughter to embark on the evil mission. Christian smiled in his mind; he could tell that his grandfather liked Clarisse. Percy is the type of man who loves it when someone is being honest, and he has a knack for knowing when someone is telling a lie. Honesty is his heart, just as challenge is his hobby, he loves throwing challenges to anyone he finds interesting, but his challenges are always a trap. He can't stop wondering why he always makes his dream hard to get. He once had a wish, and he challenged him; it took him eleven years to know that the challenge was a trap and trick, and now he's wondering what this tricky old man is up to. The nurse soon came back and bowed before them, " I'm sorry to interrupt but it's time for him to take a rest", " Sure", Christian turned to him, " we'll be
Patricia pushed Clarisse against the wall roughly. " Ah", she winced in pain and managed to stay on her feet, " How dare you!", her venomous voice send chills down Clarisse's spine. She felt like hiding in the wall. " How dare you nobody try to play smart with me, do you think I don't know what you're up to?", " I..i.I don't.. know..what you're talking.about", she stammered, " oh really? What was the nonsense you performed during the dinner night, trying to make me seem like a bad mother? Huh?", " But . you're not my mother". Patricia laughed, "Of course, you think I'll want a trash like you as a daughter, eww, I forbid bad thing, if I mistakenly get pregnant with you I'll abort it", she said and spat close to Clarisse's feet looking disgusted, " I can't blame your parents for leaving you behind, you're such a mistake so they can't take their mistake with them". Clarisse's eyes became teary; she looked at the transparent glass and could see and feel the chilly air, the
Alice smiled in satisfaction seeing Clarisse's expression and when she ran off but Christian felt so disgusted that he yanked his hand away from Alice's and couldn't take her gut anymore. His anger was already getting to the peak and when she suddenly held his hand and smiled sweetly, he felt like stained with dirt.He took some steps away from her, " are you that shameless?", he asked eyeing her," What. what do you mean?"," Even the squirrel and rat have some respect and dignity, being compared to a lowlife animal is too much for you", he said with disdain written all over his face, " the next time you touch me with your filthy hands, I'll make sure they're never in use again ", he said and walked out angrily.He met Patricia on his way, " where's my wife?"," She left that she was coming to meet you", she said and wanted to say more but Christian walked out on her.Alice felt humiliated and was hurt by his attitude and just then a man and a woman rushed to her side." Hi", they gr
