Clara POVI sucked in greedy air as I was startled awake from my scary dream, the same dream I keep having since the day I stepped foot here. How can one keep having the same dream over and over again as if there is something I need to grab and understand.But none of the dreams make sense. It's just like a video of my past life is being played before me. I don't know why but I feel a strong connection between me and that dream. It seems like a dream and more like a vision.A strong headache hit me on my head and it felt as if thousands of horses were walking in my head. This always happens when I don't take my meds for some days. Doctor Collins always warned me to take my drug daily but since the beginning of today I haven't taken it and it is having a bad effect on me.When my mother was still alive she made sure doctor Collins sent me my meds all the way from Bryxton city down to the small town we are residing. Mother told me that with my med my heart issue won't worsen but now it
Alexander POVI watched as she rushed out of my room in concern, the smile which I didn't notice until now lingered on my face. The expression on her face earlier made my smile widen the more.Clara cares about me.When did she start giving a f*ck about me getting hurt? The last time I received such treatment was ten years ago from that little girl in the basement.Watching how concerned she felt about my injury a few minutes ago makes a piece of ice in my heart break. The bridge which I have built behind me and anyone that tries to get through my walls she just broke some part of it.I heard it crack, the icing block in my heart. She just melts it from the moment she calls my name back then in the forest.But why did she care about me?Why the sudden change?I know I haven't been nice to her but here she is worried about me, the same person that doesn't want to spend a few seconds with me or be my fake wife.A few minutes later I had successfully worn a treasure and was about to put
Clara POVAs Laura pulled me away I felt a part of me getting sober as she dragged me out of Alexander's room. It felt as if I didn't want to leave him, as if I should spend more time with him.A frown crept on my face like a little child who is denied having candy or ice cream.Now that we are here in this pack, being Alexander's fake wife is not bad after all and at this moment I'm going to enjoy it with him until when he returns to being my arrogant proud bossy boss."Mother finds a way to help cure your health issue," Laura said, bringing me out of my thoughts."What did you mean?""There's a way you can live longer and won't have to experience heart failure."I was stunned by her statement is this some kind of joke or what.There's a way I can live longer than six months.There is a way I will still live to take care of Aria.I still have hope of living longer on earth.But how?Whatever way it is, I'm ready to undergo it. Laura held my hand as we made it towards the
CLARA POVI stay under the shower not the usual modern kind of shower, this is made with a metal frame painted to look like bamboo powered by a hand pump, and a chain when pushed will pump out water.I stayed in the shower longer than expected as my mind won't stop reminding me of every word spoken by Ms. Flora. It sounds strange but true and for the first time, my heart was accepting every word spoken by her.Had it been someone else that told me this I would have laughed at the person and called her a liar but strange enough I found my heart, my body, and the whole of myself accepting all of her words. Even when I don't want to set my hopes high there is still hope lingering at the side of my heart telling me that I can still live again.There's a way for me to live more than six months.A way for me to be there when my best friend Tricia will marry.A way for me to see my little girl achieve all her dreams of becoming a graduate and a successful artist.All that Ms. Flora said is
Clara Everdeen heaved a deep sigh stopping at the pavement of the house. She paused for a while as if having doubts about walking inside. Home was supposed to be welcoming and a place to relax after a long day full of stress but her home is nothing of such.It is always like a war zone all thanks to Kyle.Drawing an invisible sign of the cross and mumbling some silent prayer under her breath she pushed the door slowly. First, she pushed her head inside leaving the other part of her body outside before she tiptoed inside the room and closed the door gently behind her.It was quite late and she guessed Kyle would be back home, maybe patiently waiting for her if he is not yet drunk and fast asleep.She was afraid of meeting him awake not because she had done something really wrong but because he would be angry that his dinner was not yet served, which was never her fault.Not that she intentionally planned to come back home late, she was hooked up in traffic and her boss gave her some wo
The day she met Alexander, a popular alpha billionaire, was the day that changed the story of her life, revealing so many secrets cornering her past. A Years Later"Welcome to Bryxton City." Clara's best friend Tricia screamed from outside as she ran into the new apartment like she owns it, her two hands flipping in the air at times she acted crazy like a little girl."Thank you so much. Tricia, please could you help me place this picture besides the television" Clara handed over her mother's picture to her immediately after she walked in and she carefully dropped it beside the TV."Finally, Clara, I am happy that you decided to relocate to Bryxton after many years of persuading you, '' Tricia muttered as she sat down on a chair facing the television."Well I have no choice, this is the only place I could come" She mumbled under her breath while she continued with what she was doing.Clara Everdeen is the only daughter of her mother. She doesn't have a father according to wh
Alexander holds the golden ring in his hand as he stares at it for a while imagining how perfect it will look on the finger of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.He remembered when he met Ella at the Walton family bouquet three years ago. That day still seems like yesterday to him and the love between them keeps increasing each day although they usually have their ups and downs.Alexander closed the ring box before tucking it back inside his suit pocket.A slight smile crept on his hardened face which died off immediately as he stared at himself properly and he adjusted his blue tie before taking a last look at his well-perfect figure in the mirror.He came out of his house and immediately his guard saw him and they all bowed to him."I won't be needing an escort to follow me today I will be going alone" Alexander informed them before entering his black Mercedes Benz car and he zooms out of his building.After driving for close to thirty minutes Alexander drives into Ella's co
"What!" she stuttered her eyes wide open. Does it even matter if her smile is genuine or not according to Mr. Blake saying always make sure you smile whenever you want to attend to a customer which is exactly what she is doing now."That smile on your face is fake. I can tell that deep inside you you are more than sad just like me," he said in that calm voice of his as his cold eyes glued to her body. Clara watches as he adjusts his blue tie before relaxing his back on his seat.She was surprised and at the same time happy. Since she has been working here today no one noticed the sad look on her face which she covered with a fake smile no one has noticed that deep inside her she is dying, no one has noticed that all of her cheerful smiles were just fake except this strange man before her."And I hope your beauty is not fake also" he whispered as his eyes traveled all over her body.Seconds, and minutes passed Clara was tongue-tied as she froze before him. Is he trying to compliment he
