HelperMIKE "So, how's it going to be?""U-uh?"I turned to Alice, who was still looking pale and shaken. "Do you have anywhere to go? Are you going to start talking? I don't know what that bastard put you through but...I doubt you want to go back to him."Her lips parted slightly, but not a single word slipped out of it. This child was traumatized and I hoped I'd made the right decision by helping her. I wanted to ask for her mother but I knew that it wasn't the right time.I had to suppress my curiosity for now. I sighed, igniting the engine. "Hey, don't worry, I'll get you to safety," I said, trying to reassure her.Alice muttered a thank you, but said nothing more, her eyes fixed on some point outside the window. There are places I'd rather be than here. I mean, Clara had just walked in but it felt like she'd been gone for days.I needed to know that Velma was fine, and to reassure Clara about the situation. I could still taste her on my lips and feel her everywhere. But Alice, r

Chapter 102

Love You.CLARAI love you.That was what he said and there wasn't a part of me that didn't fight the urge to say it back. To blurt it out as my finger ran through his hair and peck him on the forehead for how good he'd been.But I panicked. I was too quick to click the disconnect button and calling Mike back wasn't an option, especially after how awkwardly I'd let the call go. His phone stuck to my head, replaying over and over like bells as the phone slid down my ears to the couch and tumbled and I slowly lifted my head to Beverly who was silently observing everything.This woman would do amazingly well as a therapist, too. She should know that. She curled her lips and I expected the question. "Is everything okay?""Yeah..." I blinked away the lie. "Yeah, it should be." Well, he said he loved me but I was too cowardly, too careful to say it back.Did that count as an explanation? "Are you sure? You look...disturbed.""Oh, I definitely am." I had told Beverly about Alice and how Mik

Chapter 103

Helping Alice!CLARAWork?I guess she was more ambitious than I thought, stronger even. A smile automatically played on my lips as I spared Mike a quick glance that he responded to with a curt nod. I diverted my attention back to Alice. "Alice, what kind of work are you interested in?" I asked, trying to sound as encouraging as possible.I'd recommend she spent a few more days getting back to her feet but the determination in her eyes was enough reason to hold back.Her eyes darted around the room as she thought about it, tapping her finger against her chin. "Office work, maybe? A clerk or something?" she replied, her eyes cast downward.That was fair. Seeing as she was well spoken, she definitely had the qualities, which brought me to my next, touchy question. "Do you have any qualifications?" I asked.Alice hesitated before speaking, unending fiddling her fingers. "I studied law. I have a degree in it."Wow!Mike and I exchanged a shocked glance. "Wow, that's impressive!" I excl

Mrs. Perfection.CLARA"Here we are!" I exclaimed as I pulled up in front of my apartment. "I can't thank you and your husband enough for everything you've done for me," Alice expressed, her hands gently touching mine. She thought Mike was my husband? Sweet.A warm smile spread across my face as I found myself lost in her captivating hazel eyes. Alice was not only intelligent, but she possessed remarkable beauty and a wonderful personality. "Is everything alright, ma'am?" Her voice snapped me out of my trance. Gathering my thoughts, I replied, "I'm okay. Plus, you don't have to thank me at all. I was helping because I know the hurt of being mistreated, and I just can't stand the thought of someone else going through what I went through." As I said this, the past experiences with Mike and Lucy came flooding back to me. "I'm glad you've overcome it, ma'am. I want to be like you when I grow up," Alice complimented, causing both of us to burst into laughter. Stepping out of the

Chapter 105

,Please!CLARA.The constant worry of being watched consumed my thoughts, making it difficult to focus on calling Mike . Was it Lucy ? What was she up to this time?I was plagued with that sense of unease and it refused to leave. It wouldn't go away no matter what I tried, and Alice was there, too, deep in my subconscious and I had to register that she was no threat to me.It didn't matter if he'd known her for longer, or if she was great at everything. Deep down, I knew that if Mike truly loved me, he would reject any unwanted attention. To clear my mind, I put on my headphones and played my favorite playlist, allowing the music to transport me into a peaceful slumber.***The sun's rays filtered through the curtains, my eyes gradually opened and it followed with a slight knock on the door."Come in," I called out, and Agatha entered, carrying a tray of steaming coffee."Good morning, ma'am. I brought you this," she said, placing the tray beside the drawer on my bed. "It's a beauti

Chapter 106

Doubts.CLARAI couldn't say no but yes was pretty far from the tip of my tongue. Why should I allow her to see him? No, what did I mean by allow? Mike wasn't a piece of tool I could dictate whether or not she got to see. Why was I being so unreasonable about this? Not to mention, she'd seen him at the suite and could see him whenever she wanted to. It was better if we could see him at the same time. That would definitely lessen whatever stress I was feeling.My lips tugged into a smile. It didn't reach my eyes. "Definitely. I'll-""I'll inform him!" She chimed, already fishing for her phone in her purse. I didn't even know she had a phone, yet. It looked new. The last one I remembered was cracked and damaged and I'd planned to give her one today.It was in the backseat and I intended to give her as a congratulatory gift for getting the job. Alice caught me staring and she beamed at me, waving it in my face."Mr Lightwood was nice enough to get me this. I think it's the latest mode

Chapter 107

Building Conflicts.MIKE "Four days?" Clara echoed, raising an eyebrow, and I felt her stiffened in my arms a little, "Why?" She asked, facing me, and judging by the tone of her voice and the look on her face I could sense that she wasn't in love with the idea.The second I opened my mouth to speak, to answer her question, and explain why I had to stay here for that long, the chance was quickly stolen from me."We should do something tonight," Alice interrupted, excitedly, and we turned to her."What?" I quizzed.Alice was grinning as she pointed to the bar, "We should get a drink and celebrate tonight," she suggested, still wearing that huge grin. I could tell she was really excited about her new job, and I was happy for her.I wasn't sure I was comfortable with not giving Clara a response to her question yet but there was always later, and anyways it wasn't like it was anything serious. I just had to stay here to take care of business, there was nothing more to it so it wasn't real

Chapter 108

Questions.CLARA"Hello," I held the phone to my ear, leaning on my side in bed. I wanted to hear his voice, and talk to him a little before going to bed. I also thought he could finally have the chance to tell me why he's staying at the suite for that long.Mike answered the phone, and I could hear the deafening music and the rowdiness echoing in the background. Weird. I cocked an eyebrow, sitting up in bed.Where was he? And why was it so noisy there? It made me uncomfortable and curious."Mike , why is it so noisy-" "Is that Clara?" I heard a voice question in the background, and not just any voice. I recognized her voice. I couldn't miss it.The voice was definitely Alice but that didn't make any sense. Alice couldn't be with Mike this late. She shouldn't but I know what I heard, and it was definitely her.I immediately felt sick to my stomach, dreading the answer as the words left my mouth, "Is that Alice?" I asked and tried as much as possible to sound as casual as I could bu

Feelings.ClaraBeverly's eyes fixed on me, waiting for me to answer. Sitting before her I felt a little transparent like she could see through me. My fingers clutched the cup of coffee tightly as the question echoed in my mind. Did Alice's presence bother me? Of course it did. Much more than I wanted it to, and I hated that.Answering the question wasn't the problem, it was easy but confessing how insecure Alice had made me feel out loud was a whole different thing. It felt like a sort of defeat or like I was admitting that I thought she was better than me.Was she?I gripped the cup tightly. No, she wasn't.I just hated how she was always everywhere, enforcing herself into everything like teaching Velma how to dance and now she was sticking by Mike . It was annoying, and I hated it, but I also couldn't say that to Beverly or rather I didn't want to. I didn't want to sound like a bitter ex-girlfriend or a possessive one.The cup tilted in my hand a little and I felt a slight sting as

Chapter 110

Weird.MIKE Clara slammed the door shut in my face, and I had to admit it physically hurt. My chest tightened. I couldn't understand. Why was she doing this? I banged on the door as hard as I could, calling out her name but there was no answer.I know she could hear me. She was just ignoring me again like she had been doing all day, and it was annoying, especially when I didn't know why she was doing this. I couldn't understand what I had done so wrong for her to act this way. It didn't make any sense.We had been together just yesterday and it had all gone fine, we had even spoken later in the night. What had happened between then and this morning? Why didn't she take any of my calls, and why was she treating me this way? I couldn't understand any of it. What was going on with her? And why wouldn't she tell me if I had done something wrong?I banged on the door one last time, and finally gave up. It didn't feel like she was ever going to answer, and the waiting was killing me. I had
