CLAIRE “Take it easy. You've had too much to drink. I knew giving you more cocktails was a bad idea. Asher steadied me gently as I almost staggered in the other direction. His hand wound around my waist, and for some reason, I leaned into him. Everything was a blur. We had been drinking, and we had been laughing at the spot on the rooftop with so much to drink at Lance's diner. Lance couldn't come around because he had been busy and occupied by the customers that he had. And I couldn't blame him. I didn't blame him. It was such a busy night. I closed my eyes and sighed in satisfaction. The chicken wings and the tacos were literally the best that I had ever tasted. And I ate until I was sure that there was no space left in my stomach, and I insisted that we stay back and have some more cocktails. Of course, Asher had a weakness for my request, so he agreed, and now here I was. Barely able to keep it together, but it wasn't a problem because he was always there to hold me. “Everywh

CLAIREI could feel my heart screaming in disappointment as Asher pulled away. I captured his face in-between my hands and leaned forward to kiss him but he pulled away before I could. I felt the ache in the pit of my stomach and brows furrowed. Even if I was drunk, I could still feel the pain in my heart. I was tired and exhausted from being outside for so long and having a squabble with Annabelle and my stupid ex husband but for some reason, I couldn't seem to drag my attention away from the throbbing in-between my thighs. I wanted him. No. I needed him. “I'm not going to repeat this again. You're sober and you need rest. I'm not going to take advantage of this situation. You're drunk and your emotions are all over the place,” he said softly. I blinked in surprise. I didn't know what to reply that exactly. I was caught in-between convincing him or letting it go. I settled for the first. I leaned into him, wrapping my arms around his neck to steady myself. “I'm not drunk, I promi

CLAIRE I groaned as I turned around. All I could feel was the loud pounding in my head. I turned around to see Asher staring at me with a small smile on his face. I was disconcerted for a short moment. My eyes were half closed. I raised my eyes to the clock. It was well into the afternoon. “How long have I been out?” I said. His fingers tenderly traveled through the strands of my hair. My eyes fluttered closed at the tenderness of his touch. I leaned into him. I cringed as the pounding in my head intensified. I closed my eyes for a brief moment. “I feel like I'm in hell,” I muttered under my breath as I relaxed my head against his chest while his arms wound around me almost immediately. “Trust me when I tell you that it could have been worse if you hadn't been hydrated yesterday,” he said. Before I could say anything in return, I felt the bile rise in the back of my throat. I quickly stepped down from the bed and rushed into the bathroom as far as I could. I closed my eyes and

CLAIRE Dinner at the dining table was awkward. Silence lingered between all of us at the table. The mint tea had dulled my headache earlier, so my appetite had returned. Not fully, but enough to put something in my stomach. Liah stared at me like she couldn't recognize me. I ignored her. I wasn't really in the mood to exchange comebacks, and if she made any attempt to get under my skin,. Then I was going to let her because I didn't know what else I could do. I closed my eyes and sighed for a short moment. I scanned my mind for whatever fun activity Asher and I could do. Our vacation was already coming to an end, and there were only two days left before we would return back home to our busy schedule. I didn't want to spend the rest of the days indulging in the drama that seemed to generate whenever Annabelle and Liah were present. I wasn't going to be indulging them. Not when there was so little time. “Do you feel better now?” Annabelle broke the silence between us. I was speechless

/-Claire-/“She's losing blood. She needs an urgent transfusion.” I heard the voices from a distance.“She has a rare blood type, sir. The blood bank is out of it…”My brain was not processing anything other than the pain between my legs. Tears pooled in my eyes as I stared at the very man who put me in this condition.His eyes were cold and unfeeling, unsympathetic to my suffering. “If she continues this way, she will bleed to death! Even if we can cut the bleeding, she will still need blood. Is there anyone in the family who can donate blood?” The nurse asked. “No,” came a cold response. A tear slipped past my cheek as I reached for his hand. “Regal…” my voice came out croaky. My throat hurt from the dryness. “Please…”“You heard them, the blood bank doesn't have your blood type,” he stated. “I don't know what you expect me to do.” “Annabelle…”He snatched his hand from me. “Have you lost your mind? Do you want your pregnant sister to donate blood to you? Have you thought abo

/-Claire-/My eyes fluttered open and the light almost blinded me. I let out a wince, suddenly aware of the consistent pounding of my head.“She's awake,” I heard a strange voice say. Where am I?The smell of drugs hit me and I felt the sudden urge to throw up. I blinked to clear my vision and the blurry faces became clearer. They were different from the personnel attending to me back at the mansion. Did Regal change his mind? Did he get Annabelle to donate blood?My heart rate picked up as I pushed myself up. “Easy…” the strange doctor said, and just then, I felt a sharp pain in my vagina. They had this baffled look on their faces as they watched me. “What is going on?” I asked weakly. “A lot, Miss Claire. You are indeed a miracle,” he exclaimed. “I… I don't understand…” I muttered. “You were declared dead an hour ago and your family just left a few minutes ago,” he said.The information sent my head spinning. I died? I looked at him in confusion.“We understand you are conf

A year later…/-Claire-/I couldn't say my life was terrible. I ran three charity organisations which focused on helping neglected children and orphans. I had a foundation for abused women and three restaurants that were fast climbing to fame. You could say I have achieved a lot for myself and now I was working on paying back what I stole.It was a whole ton of money, and I knew it would take a while to clear the debt, t but I was giving it my best. That singular act of compromise haunted me every night in my sleep. After I stole from him, my first instinct was to flee New Jersey before he would use his connections to prevent me from leaving the country.Tonight, I was officially opening my clothing line so I made sure to look my best. The turnover was better than expected. I was honoured that most of the dignitaries I invited had shown up. I've never felt so proud of myself. I managed to achieve so much within a short period of time. With a drink in hand, I leaned on the bannis

/-Claire-/I should have taken his threats seriously. Over the next three weeks, things have slowly begun to change.It started with individuals who had no dealings with our company posting bad reviews about our skin therapy products. I didn't know what to do because the lies were very creative and believable.We thought that was all until investors started pulling out, and we received a lawsuit for Intellectual property theft. Panicking could not even begin to explain my state of mind. The remaining days were filled with sleepless nights. I had a lawsuit on my hands and if I followed up this legal fight, it would drain a lot of money from me. Especially if I lost. Which was very likely considering how stable and trusted Agingwell Corporation was. The craziest thing was that I didn't even know about this company until now. Sure, we had the same goals and very similar products but I didn't think they would pick me out of a hundred others in the same business line.And these attac

CLAIRE Evening approached, and Asher insisted he wasn't going to be in the same room with him while I got changed. I didn't blame him. Neither did I see the need to argue. I knew if he remained here, dinner would be next to a no, and we wouldn't be able to get anything afterwards. I didn't want to be sentenced to dinner with my sister and the other dreadful company. I was almost done. I had taken time to get ready. The warm bath was nothing short of soothing. I smelled of lavender and, well, Asher, because I used his shampoo. I was certain that he would mind that I smelled like me. I settled for packing my hair into a messy bun; my makeup was minimal. My face is almost bare with nothing but mascara, a lip tint, and slight blush. I ended up settling for a sundress. The weather seemed to be hot. So I guess it was going to have to do. I turned around, and my shoulders flinched in fright at the sight of Asher leaning casually against the doorway. He laughed when he noticed how startle

CLAIRE “Isn't that the whole point of it? For me to concentrate?” He raised an eyebrow at me. I could tell that his gaze lingered a little bit longer on the sight of me in the short dress. I observed how he clenched the sides of the sketch paper. Like he was holding on to it for dear life. I closed my eyes and sighed. The excitement that I felt made my heart flutter a little. The effect almost left me breathless. “Well, I guess you'd have to thank me for teaching you some self-control then. Won't you?” I smirked at him. “Should I be worried that you're becoming devious with each day that passes by?” He said as he looked at me. His brows were slightly furrowed, but the smile on his face was evident. I didn't know what to make of it. The sexual tension that lingered between the both of us made the air slightly heavy. My heart raced from the effect. It was becoming more and more difficult to breathe. It was becoming even more difficult to drift my mind away from what would happen if

CLAIRE Asher's eyes narrowed, his gaze burning with intensity. "Don't play dumb, Claire," he said, his voice low and husky. "I know exactly what you're thinking about."I felt a shiver run down my spine as he leaned in closer to me. His breath whispered against my ear, sending goosebumps down my arms."You're thinking about us," he whispered. "About what it would be like if I sketched you without your clothes on."I felt my face heat up, but I couldn't deny it. I was thinking about it, and the thought was exhilarating.Asher's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze burning with desire. "I'm thinking about it too," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.I felt my heart skip a beat as he leaned in closer, his lips inches from mine. I could feel the tension between us, the anticipation building up like a storm.And then, just as suddenly, Asher pulled back, his eyes clearing as he looked away. "I'll go tell Marcella to bring up the ice cream and cookies," he said, his voice neutral.I watc

CLAIRE I stared at my trembling hands. My eyes ached, and I ignored the stray tears that fell down my cheeks. I was angry, but at the same time I felt stupid. I don't know if it was supposed to make any sense, but I hoped that it did. It annoyed me that I was crying over the painful memories that I had tried to keep at bay for so long. It annoyed me that I couldn't keep it all locked in.I felt stupid for crying over people that didn't deserve it. For crying over Annabelle, over Regal, over the fact that I had wanted to forgive her if only she said something. Anything. It made me wonder if I even had any atom of love for myself. Sometimes I wished that it was different. That I didn't feel so much, that I didn’t have empathy. Asher stood in front of me. I was aware of the empty silence that lingered between the both of us but couldn't exactly bring myself to say anything. Maybe it was the ache in my chest. Maybe it was the heaviness that has chosen to remain in the pit of my stomach

CLAIRE “So when were you going to tell me that you dished out invitations without my permission?”Asher said casually as he took a sip of wine. I watched Liah pause for a moment as she turned towards him. They exchanged glances. I couldn't really read too much meaning into it. I was relieved that Asher was able to keep it together. He didn't act on the tension that lingered between him and Regal. And if things weren't according to plan, maybe an argument wouldn't commence. I was too quick to assume that I would be lucky. But it certainly wasn't wrong to hope that no drama would take place. “You didn't have a problem with me inviting people before?” Liah raised an eyebrow at him as she took time to chew on a piece of chicken tender. I noticed the subtle tilt of her chin. I noticed the way her gaze lingered on him a little longer than necessary. I noticed his sharp glare. “Stop diverting and answer my question,” he said. “I will, when you stop talking to me like a child,” she snappe
