Clair pov. I watched silently as they prepared to leave. My heart continued to weep for him. For us. But how could I give us a chance? He deserved the best things in the world. Not someone like me. Not someone who is still fighting to forget those horrible memories of being forcefully removed from your home. Or those terrible flashbacks of how me and the other girls were transferred in food containers by those heartless human traffickers.  In addition to those unwanted memories, my sleep is haunted by nightmares of Mr. Stone. The one who owned me. Who enslaved me during my mid teens. I was barely eighteen when I got pregnant with my first child, Nolan.  He is the one who fathered my child. But I refuse to acknowledge him as his father. He is not worthy of being called a father. And I most certainly don’t want to let my child know that he is related to such a vile man. I was lost in my own thoughts when Levi walked in front of me and extended

Clair pov.It was always fun to spend time with the gang. They always made the place more active and enjoyable. And with our mother figure pestering Henry and Lilli for grand kids, the fun is doubled. Austin and Adira left for their two week long trip right after we all had breakfast.I made sure that Nolan had a good breakfast before I started to have my own. He was giggling as he toddled across the vast dining room, while Henry’s mom pretended to catch him. His little giggles always made my lifeless flutter with excitement. He was such a blessing for me. If not for him, my nightmares and traumatic memories would have made me want to give up on life.“Aww.... Little Nolan wants to play.” Henry’s mom cooed.“Clair, dear. Can I take him to the play room. It would be easier for you to eat.” She asked looking at me hopefully.I giggled. She didn’t really have to ask.“Of course Gabby aunty.”

Narrator. Days passed by, and by the time Adira and Austin came back from their honeymoon, Clair had successfully taken care of all the awareness programs that they had planned while Lilli and Henry looked after the business and other matters of the empire. Adira and Austin went through the files and they were satisfied to see that everything was in place as they wanted them to be. It is not that Austin and Adira doubted their capabilities. They were certain that they would prove themselves to be the best people to be around.  Henry, Clair and Lilli waited for their approval in the office as they flipped through the papers.  “Great. You guys have done an excellent job.” Austin uttered, nodding with a satisfied smile on his lips.  “Yes. This is commendable Clair. I

Narrator Clair went into shock and remained in her crouched position as the minutes passed by.  Since Nolan was with Gabby aunty, his little voice was not there to pull Clair out of her mental turmoil, like he usually did. Clair continued to cover her head from what might attack her l, though in reality she was completely alone in the room.  However, she felt that she was being attacked. She felt that Mr. Stone was back to get revenge on her for killing him and keeping his child away from him. She felt that he might once again hurt her. And this time he wouldn’t let her live.  “Please....don’t.... Let me go.” She sobbed through her whispers until she finally lost consciousness. Minutes ticked by. Henry’s mother enjoyed having little Nolan in her room. She was expec

Clair pov. I woke up early. Last night was one of the few nights I wasn’t woken up by nightmares of Mr. Stone. Instead, I saw Levi in my dream. How couldn’t I dream about him? All I could think of was him last night. I tried my best not to think about it but I failed. I fell asleep when I was deeply lost in his thoughts. When I checked the time it was just 6 am. Should I call him? Was it still too early?  I chewed on my lower lip, contemplating on it for some time.  “Ugh. If I don’t do this now, I won't be able to do it ever.” I grunted to myself and unlocked my phone. Without waiting for another minute more, I dialled his number, but he didn’t answer it. I felt my heart sink.  Maybe he really was ignoring me now. Perh
