Chapter 52: Media ClamorClaire’s POVWhile the public's perception of me had shifted slightly toward the positive, the looming legal battle with my father cast a dark shadow over everything. The media, ever hungry for sensational news, had caught wind of the lawsuit, and soon enough, headlines about my father's alleged fraud were plastered across every major outlet, further intensifying the accusations toward me that I am a gold digger who resorted to tempting the Vermont heir and manipulating him to marry me, all for money. The first court hearing was scheduled for a chilly Wednesday morning. As Alex and I walked up the courthouse steps, a swarm of reporters and photographers awaited us. Flashing cameras and shouted questions created a clamor that made my heart pound and my head ache with all these questions being thrown at us. This never ending

Chapter 54: The ChaseClaire’s POVAfter the legal battle against my father, a few days passed before the next storm brewed. The security team had been meticulously preparing for the capture of the bombing suspect, and now, the plan was set into motion. The headquarters buzzed with anticipation and tension, and each member of the team was laser-focused on their role.The headquarters itself was a marvel of modern technology, with rows of computer monitors displaying live feeds, tactical maps, and data streams. The walls were adorned with screens that flickered with real-time information, giving the room an almost futuristic feel.

Chapter 56: A Night of FreedomClaire’s POVThe club was located in the heart of the city, an imposing structure with a sleek, modern facade with bright lights at the front. As we approached, the exterior shimmered under the city lights, hinting at the luxury and indulgence within. A red velvet rope cordoned off the entrance, guarded by two striking bouncers dressed in tailored black suits. The line of people waiting to get in was proof of the club's exclusivity that only caters to expensive guests.

Cheaper clubs are more accessible to different kinds of people including paparazzi and reporters, in here, it is more subtle since the club protects the privacy of their clients, which also explains the expensive price to be paid.Once inside, the a

Chapter 58: DesireClaire’s POVHis hands traveled all over my body, from my waist, down to my exposed thigh, and his forefinger was getting under the hem of the dress. The dance floor was dimmed and packed, and no one minded us kissing each other. They were too drunk to care and to mind other people’s businesses. I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer as if the proximity was not enough. He groaned when I kissed him harder, the alcohol taking control of my system. I may be blaming the alcohol for my actions or perhaps I also wanted to, that in truth, I have also wanted him, craved for him. And tonight, again, I would ask the gods for one more. To be with him once again. How unfortunate that we could only have each other when the alcohol was in my system, or when he was drunk. And once we were both sober,

Chapter 60: PretenseClaire’s POVI refused to leave my room the next day, fearing that Alex might still be in the unit. But no matter how much I prayed for him to have left for work already when I stepped out past afternoon since my stomach was already rumbling in hunger, I was surprised to see him in his home office upstairs.“You finally decided to come out,” his voice surprised me and I looked up to him, trying to find words.“I… I overslept.” I lied.
