11. Heartless

Clara's POVZoe finally noticed me in the doorway, her expression silent, yet she shot me, 'Are you surprised to see me here?' look. How could I possibly overlook the fact that I would probably meet her again if I came back to this house?"Oh, you're finally here. Thank you, Eda, for bringing her to me, even though I had to wait for quite a while. Now you can leave us." Zoe saidEda appeared quite hesitant, yet she ultimately departed with a look of regret on her face. I focused my gaze on Zoe; what new scheme was she up to this time?"So this is your new assistant that you hired, Zoe? Are you sure you still want to hire her? She's already late on her first day. Imagine how awful her performance moving forward."Even though Zoe's friend spoke in a low tone, every word was distinctly audible to me."And are you sure you want to hire such a young and beautiful housemaid? I don't mean to fan the flames, Zoe, but you know cases of bosses having affairs with their maids are quite common."

12. Dinner

Clara's POVZoe's arms draped around his neck as his hands found their place at her waist, drawing them closer together. The moist sound of lips colliding echoed through the space, and at that moment I wished I was deaf. My cheeks flushed at the sight before me, yet the most unsettling sensation was the ache in my chest.'I don't love him anymore' I told myself.When they finally parted their lips and James finally realized I was standing there I pretended not to notice a thing."James, look who's here," Zoe said, gesturing towards me."You must remember you were the one who asked me to come, to talk about something." I cleared my throat before he thought I was seeking anything other than the return of my apartment rights."Of course, I remember." He said nonchalantly."Wait, you two have something to talk about? What is that? Why do I know nothing about this?" Zoe glanced between James and me, her expression filled with intrigue about what we were up to.God, why is this woman so inte

13. Moment

Clara's POVZoe's expression shifted instantly upon hearing that; it was clear she preferred not to share the same table with me. But I also would prefer to skip dinner altogether than eat here."James? Are you serious?" She asks.James took her hand and held it tightly "Of course, honey. What seems to be the issue?""Nothing, it’s just that this should be a moment for the two of us, right? Why must Clara join us as well?""Aren't we usually invite Eda to eat together as well? Does that disrupt our moment? Of course not, so what's the difference if we invite Clara to join."James' answer confirmed my position in their eyes and that Zoe shouldn't worry at all. His words made Zoe calm down as seen from the smile that appeared on her lips."Ah, you're right. What are you waiting for, Clara? Have a seat and serve yourself, I know you're hungry too." Zoe remarked before redirecting her attention to her meal.I settled into my seat across from them, yet I left the food I prepared untouched.

14. His offer

Clara's POV"James?" I was surprised to see him here at this hour.He nudged me back into the room, leaving me slightly puzzled about his intentions this time."I'm here to discuss things between us." He spoke and shut the door, leaving just the two of us in this space. I stepped back, it was just that being in the room with him felt different now. There was a tension I could not explain in the air, particularly since James was behaving as if we were still sharing our space."Sure," I said, I glanced at the clock. "But it's already too late.""And I don't have time if I have to wait until tomorrow," James said.Oh, of course. How could I forget? he would be so occupied with his work and wouldn't have time for a problem that was trivial to him."Okay. Let's begin then. I want my apartment back, to be honest. I need it for a place to live." I said to him.With that apartment, I could at least help Emma get out of her toxic mom. If James just took it from me, where do I and Emma should

15. We shouldn’t do this

Clara's POVI was completely unaware that James had removed my pajamas, and then his hands deftly unfastening my bra. The brisk air sent a delightful shiver across my skin, my nipple heightened by his intense stimulation. James skilfully alternated between using his hands and tongue. My eyelids closed as my hands clutched his dark hair when he buried his face against my breast. I couldn't deceive myself, yet this feeling enveloped me as if I were suspended in bliss."Stop it..." I let out a breath "Stop it, James..""Quiet, Clara." His voice was warm and honeyed. Why can't he just talk to me in that tone every day?I bit my lip, trying to muffle my voice, afraid that Zoe might hear us. She would kill me if she found out about this.When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the sofa with James positioned above me. His pajamas are gone now, and he's shirtless, showcasing his perfectly sculpted and toned physique. James positioned himself at my already slick entrance, causin

16. Her doing

Clara's POVThe location Lily shared was an ordinary sidewalk, somewhat removed from the hustle of the main road. What was she doing in such a quiet location? And what caused her to sound so panicky when she called me earlier?“Lily?” I called, where is she? I can’t see her anywhere.At that moment, I heard a vain woman's voice calling for help, and I immediately recognized it as Lily's. I moved closer to where the sound was coming from.Behind the wall that divided the settlement from the street stood my cousin, accompanied by a tall, robust man. The man was attacking her, causing her to scream like that earlier. He seized her neck, causing Lily to cry out in pain.My anger surged as I was about to rush forward, yet my instincts whispered a warning that he could harm me as well. I activated the camera and started recording as I moved closer to them. Directing my phone towards him. “What on earth? What are you doing to my sister? Release her immediately, or I will ensure this video g

17. A friend?

Clara's POV"I’m sorry for the delay, ladies. The traffic was quite heavy on the way here. I hope everything is going well?" Keith approached us with a look of concern. Lily clearly doesn't expect to see him here. Noticing her tension, I held her hand a bit tighter and said to Keith, "The doctor mentioned that Lily doesn't require hospitalization; she can head home tomorrow after settling the bill for the medicine and room."“Thank God,” Keith nodded. A sense of ease on his face, "There's no need for you to stress about the expenses."I glanced at him with a hint of confusion; I still had enough savings to manage it, so there was no need for him to step in like this."Thank you so much, Mr. Morgan," Lily answered quickly. I could feel she was still a bit uncomfortable with Keith being here, she might think he could harm her as well."Please just call me by my name. Lily, that's your name right?" Keith turned to Lily, and my cousin responded with a nod. "What happened? How did you end

18. A dress for her

Clara's POVThe next morning, Lily was finally allowed to go home. Keith insisted on driving her to my uncle and aunt's house. When Auntie Jena asked, Lily said that she was hit by a car, she didn’t want them to know what really happened."Thank you, Clara, I can't imagine what would have happened to Lily if you hadn't arrived on time. And please send my gratitude to Mr. Keith for his generosity." Uncle Thomas said.Auntie Jena guided Lily up to her room, leaving me alone with Uncle Thomas. I felt a sense of ease cause he looked far more welcoming than m my last visit. Though he couldn't conceal the stress about the business he faced lately."You're welcome uncle, please take good care of Lily."After chatting with him for a while, I went back to the car where Keith was waiting.“I will drive you to your apartment, is the address still the same? Or do you want to go somewhere else?” He asked.I tensed but I quickly masked it, "Please drop me off right in front of the restaurant. Thanks

19. An insult

Clara's POVI know we were both taken aback by our unexpected encounter, but Zoe caught on first and swiftly altered her expression, "Clara? What a surprise to see you in a place like this! And looks who did you come with, my future brother-in-law."Even without turning my head, I could feel Keith's intense stare directed at James and Zoe; he didn't like the way Zoe addressed him. Zoe's gaze then locked onto the pink dress we were about to select earlier. "This one! I found it! This is what I want James, Can I have this dress please?"She turned to James, circling her hands on his arm, making sure that he would give her what she wanted. James nodded and ordered the dress to be packed right now. As I realized that Keith was on the verge of protesting, I reached out and placed my hand on his arm, yet it felt like there was nothing I could do to hold him back now."This one is for Clara only, Zoe. I've already picked it for her first. You can choose another dress." Keith said to her, ca

20. Light of his life

Clara's POV"I want you dead right now!" Zoe's voice was throaty, now she was no different from someone who just lost her sanity. “Get out of my and James' life you parasite!"I lifted my hand to protect myself from her strike, and while my hand wasn't entirely safe and ended up with a few scratches from her, at least my face was untouched. I pressed my lips together, trying to suppress the pain I felt. I couldn't just stay silent, I couldn't let Zoe do this to me."Stop it!" I exclaimed.Zoe continued to mutter some curses at me, and when she let her guard down, I quickly seized her wrist. "Stop it Zoe! You can't hurt me like this, I just want to solve this problem properly."She finally calmed down. Her blond strands tumbled across her face, giving her a messy appearance. "Solve it properly? After being insulted like that right to my face? You wish! You have to pay what you just did!""Zoe, Keith was just acting on impulse in a moment of emotion because—" I hesitated, feeling unsure
