151. Explanation

Clara's POVI felt my heart quicken as I approached Keith's apartment’s door. I just wanted him to provide an answer and some clarification. If I asked politely, I’m sure he’d be willing to share it with me. Yes, I know Keith wasn't trying to hide anything maliciously. Perhaps he was just biding his time until he felt ready to share with me.I pulled out my phone to call him, but he didn't pick up. It was six PM, and he should have been home from work by now.Keith always mentioned that if I arrived and he wasn't around, he wanted me to hang out inside. He also handed me his spare key, allowing me to get into this place whenever I wanted.I guess I could just head in first and wait for him inside like he suggested. I unlocked his flat and gently pushed the door open. A haunting silence welcomed me, but something felt a bit strange. The light was switched on. And I noticed a flickering reflection on the wall in the TV room; it felt like there was someone present in there. I swallowed,

152. The hospital

Clara's POV"Please, didn't you come here to get an explanation from me? So, how are you planning to get it if you're just going to walk away like this?" Keith asked, his hand still holding mine. "And how can I let you leave with that anxiety still weighing on your heart, Clara? While I'm pretty sure you wouldn't open your flat door if I decided to follow you."I stayed quiet, not really thinking he would hold me when he was clearly enjoying himself with Selena, his childhood friend. But the fact that he was willing and promised to explain yesterday earned my respect. Keith led me to the TV room, he invited me to sit for a while but I refused."Keith-" Selena called out to him once more, but she quickly fell quiet when he lifted his hand, gesturing for her to hold on. Selena's face fell, but she complied and kept quiet.That was the third time she attempted to catch his attention, in her previous attempt Keith simply brushed her off. She’s probably wondering about my relationship wit

153. Selena

Clara's POV"I don’t understand why she chose to give them my number as the first point of contact. I think I'm the only one she can trust since her family isn't around.” He clarified. “Selena struggles with trauma and trust when it comes to new people after she faced multiple attempted murders in the past."I found myself nodding, signaling Keith to continue."Yesterday, I was focused on getting to the hospital quickly because I didn't want her to get hurt especially when she came all this way to see me. That's it, Clara. Her family always trusts me to protect her so If anything happens to her I'll live in guilt"Given their long-standing acquaintance and the fact that Selena's parents are business partners with Keith's parents, their relationship is quite close. After hearing that explanation, my doubts gradually faded away. Slowly replaced by a sense of understanding.“What was her condition like when you got there?” I asked. “Luckily, she’s okay. She has only some minor injuries

154. Unlike him

Clara's POVI looked up to meet her eyes and shook my head. That's when a sly smile appeared on Selena's lips."Keith said that he couldn't live without me. He was so worried that he couldn't think straight when he thought he might lose me."I paused my chewing. I took my time with my food and set my sandwich aside. Out of nowhere, I feel my appetite is gone. I'm aware of it; I understand how precious she is to him and how much guilt Keith would feel if anything happened to Selena.“Yes, Selena. I can see it all from when Keith received the call from the hospital informing him that you had an accident. Who wouldn't feel concerned when you got a call telling you your friend is getting hit by a car?" I offered her a reassuring smile, "We're really glad to see you're alright now."Selena's smirk disappeared. She stepped closer, her gaze fixed on me in a way that sent a shiver down my spine. Then they took a seat in one of the empty chairs directly in front of me. Selena looked at my fa

155. New plan

James' POVI have to hold myself back from stopping Clara's car the moment I see her pull out of TasteTales. I need to clear my head so I don't end up following her.'That's enough, James. It's time to head home now. Stop behaving like a stalker. You've already seen her, so that should be enough.' A voice in my head said.I suppose that's true. Seeing Clara today, all by herself, without Keith next to her, is all I need. At least I can tell myself that she's not with him at the moment. Yet, the desire to find out where Clara is headed continues to nag at me as my car begins to roll forward. Damn. I should start to look for a way to wrap this up. I have to keep an eye on her and ensure that Keith isn't around.Out of nowhere, my phone started ringing, breaking my train of thought. I held it to my ear, feeling a rush of impatience. "Hi James, I've already arrived at the restaurant. Where are you at the moment?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the line.Shit. I forgot that

156. Something urgent

Clara's POVI headed to the TV room to keep Layla company while she worked on her homework, hoping to take my mind off Keith and Selena's relationship. When I got home earlier, I called Keith to let him know like I always did. But he was on another call. I sent him a message, but he still hasn't replied to me until now.It's nighttime now, so I thought he would have made it home by now. He usually calls me to share updates about how his day going, but this time he didn't reach out at all."Mom, why do you seem a bit worried? What’s going on?" My daughter interrupted, pulling me out of my thoughts. “No, sweetheart. I'm not worried at all." I got up from the sofa and went over to Layla, who was sitting on the furry carpet. I gently ran my fingers through her hair, savoring its softness.God, I miss my little girl so much.A moment later, my phone rang with an incoming call. I got up and walked a bit to take his call. My heart was racing, but I felt a bit of joy because he finally re

157. Blame on her

Clara's POVFor a moment, I was completely still, unable to move or utter a word as I saw Selena gently cradle his cheek, drawing his lips closer to her own. What really made my heart sink was that Keith didn't even try to push her away. He simply allowed her to kiss him.Just as their lips were about to touch, Selena spotted me lingering in the doorway. She stopped for a moment, her eyes on me. Keith turned around, and that's when he saw me standing there."Clara? When did you arrive?" He asked, his tone remained even. For someone who had just been caught on the verge of a kiss with a woman he insisted was merely a childhood friend, he looks remarkably composed. Keith released his grip on Selena's waist and strolled over to me."Why are you just standing here? step inside." He said. Keith grabbed my wrist and then guided me into the room. We stopped in front of the bed, where Selena was sitting. She’s got a blanket draped over her lap. Selena looked satisfied that I noticed what a

158. Accusation

Clara's POVI made my way back to my office as soon as break hours arrived, sinking into my chair. As soon as I powered on my phone, the door flew open and Diana stepped inside. She sighed softly as she walked over to me and then settled into the chair in front of me."You haven't told me what happened to Mr. Keith that required him to be rushed to the hospital last night. Is he alright? Shouldn't you be with him now instead of coming to work, ma'am?" She asked, her voice filled with worry.I haven't shared the details with Diana about what happened at the hospital last night.It was because of the call I had to call her to come to my apartment because of that call to ask her for a favor. And she arrived during the quiet hours to help me. If I knew what I would encounter at the hospital, I wouldn't go there."It wasn't him who needed to be treated." “What? Then, why did he call you to go there?" "Selena was taken to the hospital cause a stomachache she experienced after having oran

159. Peonies

Clara's POV"I asked Elise to pick up Layla, and she'll be keeping her company tonight," Keith said as our car smoothly navigated the streets.We're currently in our way heading to his place. He's the one who insisted to take me there because we he had to sort out a few things after what went down yesterday. Keith expressed his regret for blaming me regarding what went down with Selena.I decided to let him take me to his place. I’d be open to giving him another chance and see if he can win me over again."You're still mad." He mumbled when I didn't answer. "Say something, Clara."I’ve let go of my anger. Yet, there's an unsettling feeling that typically isn't present. Is it jealousy now that I feel?"I care about your friend as well, Keith. I didn't like your behavior yesterday. You acted like I would be so petty as to intentionally give Selena something that would make her sick." I said. "I understand now that you could never have meant it that way, Clara. I truly apologize, that

160. Numb

Clara's POV"I haven't forgotten about you, Selena. I was actually planning to get you some flowers too. I just haven't given it to you yet." Keith said, "Hey, don't feel down."His voice faded slightly. As if watching her become sad brought a wave of sadness over him too. “So, where is it? I don't see any flowers for me." Selena offered a wistful smile, "It's okay, Keith. If you weren't planning on buying me flowers, you didn't need to do it."She then returned the bouquet to me. And I accepted it right away. Keith gave flowers to me, didn't he? I suppose I should be the one to keep it then. Selena glanced back at us one last time before turning and walking away. I could sense her disappointment. She's truly sad; the best friend who was always by her side every years on her birthday seems to have been overlooked this time. Suddenly, the bouquet in my hand felt heavy, as if holding it was somehow wrong.That's when Keith stopped her "Wait, Selena."Selena came to a sudden halt. I
