61. I found you

Clara's POV“Yes, I'm still alive."I chose not to explain how I survived the accident back then. I knew Iris Morgan didn't need to be informed, especially since she wouldn't like it regardless"But don't worry, I'm done and will leave right now. You don't have to recall our meeting; just act as if I'm already dead."As her shock faded and she collected herself, a twisted, angry smile formed on her lips."Honestly, I couldn't care less if you're dead or alive." She snapped, "What I care about is that I never want to see you near my family again."I was already familiar with those words. Since marrying James, it has become a regular occurrence, whether it's from James himself or other family members who aren't fond of me.Still, it feels just as painful as before."No need to worry Mrs. Iris, I have no intention of coming near your family ever again," I answered with a smile.She has nothing to worry about. Since James divorced me and after the accusations he placed on me five years ago

62. Heiress

Clara's POV"What do you mean Stevan? Do you know her?" Iris asked, sounding completely lost. She glanced between me and Stevan.What? What else is this? Another member of the Morgan family who knows me? God, I beg you to put this to an end. I truly wanted nothing to do with them anymore!"How do you know her?" Iris Morgan asked suspiciously."I'm sorry but I don't know you, so how could you looking for me for five years?" I inquired. I don't think I know Stevan. We've never actually met before.Stevan tucked his phone away, and when he glanced at me, he flashed a warm smile that sent my heart racing just a bit."I might be a stranger to you, but I'm familiar with who you are. I feel like I won a jackpot meeting you here, Clara." Stevan smiled as he spoke. He seems truly happy; he didn't even see the confusion on my face.'How did he even know my name?' The fear that someone might have been stalking my life all these years is eating away at me. How can someone I don't even know claim t

63. Wonder

Clara's POV"I'm sorry for ruining your day; I should have waited for the right moment to share this news with you." Stevan said when I didn't respond to what he said.I felt guilty. He was simply fulfilling his responsibilities, after all. "No, there's no need to apologize." I should have poured my surprise on him. "Is there another way to change this?""I'm afraid not," Stevan replied. He looked at me with a hint of curiosity. "You're hilarious. Typically when a person gets an inheritance, they feel joy. Yet you look like you've just received the death penalty."This feels pretty similar to the death penalty to me. So, what's the next step? I found myself pulled back into the grip of them just when I believed I had escaped for good. "Let me do something that can lift your mood, a gesture of my apology. Are you free today?"I nodded without thinking."Oh, I've got a thought! Why not take a look at one of your new houses? It's just a short drive from here, and I'd be glad to take you

64. Unexpected visitor

Clara's POV“Yes, she’s my daughter. Why?" Stevan merely shook his head and offered a faint smile upon hearing that. "I just really can't believe you're already a mom. Since you're still so young and pretty." I chuckled softly. This man is incredibly kind, always showering me with compliments. "What should I do now, Stevan?" I inquired. I can't believe this house is mine now. What should I do with this since I don't plan on living here? I still have hope to be able to turn down this inheritance. "The choice is yours since this now belongs to you. You can begin any renovations you desire." He responded. I glanced around me. This house is absolutely perfect as it is, and I wouldn't want to change a thing. "Mr. George's lawyer will start bringing the documents for you to sign tomorrow." He said to me. "Are you all set?" I gave a nod. "Great! Then I'll see you here again tomorrow." Once Stevan was gone, I made my way to the front garden. I was utterly captivated by the rose gard

65. Hatred

Clara's POVZoe dragged me into the front door and then launched me out of the house with all her strength. "Get out of here!"I lost my footing. But instead of hitting the cold, hard floor, I find myself landing on something solid and warm. A strong arm wrapped around my waist, holding me close. When I lifted my gaze, I found myself looking into the beautiful green eyes. "Are you alright?" Stevan inquired. I straightened up and nodded. Stevan gradually let go of the arm he had wrapped around my waist. “Mrs. Zoe?” Stevan looked over at Zoe, inquiring. "Why did you do this to Mrs. Clara?" Zoe's eyes shifted back and forth between Stevan and me. She seemed taken aback that Stevan knew my name, but then her expression shifted back to anger. “She has come into this house without permission. Entry here is strictly prohibited without prior permission. Did you forget?"Stevan offered a subtle smile. Then he spoke softly. "Mrs. Zoe, Mrs. Clara can come here anytime she wishes from now o

66. Angry

James' POVI drove to one of our family’s houses in the city to pick up my wife. It was my late aunt's house, which had never been occupied. Zoe visited this morning to check on the house and ensure it was still in good condition. "Welcome, Mr. James," greeted the security as I stepped out of my car. I smiled and nodded at him and made my way into the house when I spotted my wife sitting on the garden's bench. Her face was lowered, and her fist was tightly clenched. "Zoe?" Upon noticing my arrival, she swiftly stood up and launched herself into my arms. She began to shake, and I could hear soft cries escaping her. "What’s going on? What’s making you cry?"She was all fine when she left our house this morning. What caused her to feel this way now? I want to find out who caused my wife to cry like this. "She kicked me out." That was all she said. I scowled. "Who are you referring to?" Who on earth dared to kick James Morgan's wife out? I'm sure no one was foolish enough to do th

67. Game of deception

James' POVI flipped Clara's body around so that she was facing me. I was going to give her a punishment to stay with her forever, yet I knew I wouldn't find peace until I heard the truth from her lips."Tell me, why did you lie to me?"Clara let out a deep sigh. Although I could tell she was scared, she made every effort to hide it completely."So what am I supposed to do then?""You can fucking tell me that you remember me too so I don't seem like the crazy one!"Yet instead of doing that, she chose to act Amnesia, leaving me wondering about my sanity for the past few days"You want me to acknowledge that I still remember the man I've been trying to erase from my mind for the last five years?" She asked. "I don't want to see you in my life anymore, James."Her words pierced my heart with the pain I never felt before."Why?"She exhaled with a weary sigh.I know our marriage hasn't been going smoothly but does it have to reach a point where she no longer wants to see me?"I am done w

68. More trust

Clara's POVLayla hates it here. She told me when I served her the pancakes I prepared. That makes me happy because it means we can return to New York as soon as possibleWe aren't stuck in this city or this house, and I can easily act like I never inherited it at all. But her expression turned quite somber when I mentioned our return to New York, so I inquired further. "Is there something wrong, sweetheart?""Does that mean I can never see the rose garden again?" "But didn't you mention that you don't enjoy being in this house?" I asked. She mentioned that, so I figured she was fine with not being able to see her garden anymore. Our apartment in NYC doesn't have that kind of garden. "I don't enjoy being here because of that uncle, mommy." My daughter responded. "He frightened you." Oh, so she chose to hate this house because of James. Gosh. Why did Layla have to witness what James did to me earlier?"Why did you let him come here?" Layla asked.Hold on, she's correct. Why did I

69. Fake

Clara's POVI had just finished my shower and was drying my hair with a hairdryer, holding my phone to my ear with the other hand."So you don't know when you'll be back yet?" Diana inquired. She reached out to tell me that everything was fine and that she missed me."Not yet. I have some business to take care of here.""Okay then ma'am but don't forget to take care of yourself. Please tell me you've met Mr. Keith."Diana already knew that Keith was also in LA right now."Yeah." That's all I said. Didn't want to worry her.Diana wrapped up her call and hung up, my phone started ringing once more. I gazed at the unfamiliar number, my brow furrowing in confusion.But I decided to pick it up. "Who is this?""Clara. Are you home tonight?""Stevan?" I failed to conceal the surprise in my voice.There was silence, and I could just imagine Stevan grinning at my astonished response."Did I catch you off guard?”“Yeah, a bit. I thought it was a scammer number or something."I could hear him ch

70. Family tradition

Clara's POV"To make our conversation more comfortable, why didn't you sit down first?" Iris Morgan said to me.I had no choice but to sit down on the seat across from her. She settled into her chair, a smile spreading across her face as she gazed at me."I’m sure you can see that my actions yesterday were simply a reaction to the shock."“Yes,” I replied right away. Although I recognized her apology lacked sincerity, I couldn't be bothered to engage, so I simply said yes. I'll do whatever is necessary for this dinner, so it will be over as soon as possible and I can leave. "I'm really relieved you made it through the accident that night, Clara." Iris Morgan said. Even though the way she spoke and the way she looked at me suggested otherwise."You’ve managed to live quite well over the last five years. What a surprise for all of us." Iris Morgan went on.She kept her gaze on me, completely ignoring Keith. And somehow I sensed that Keith hadn't revealed to her how I managed to get t
