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
Spent the night together.Is he mad or something? Clara thought if only he knew what she had been through in the hands of a man he wouldn't even raise a voice at her."How could she leave just like that, how could she do that to me" she heard him cry for the first time she was moved by his word and sobs she wanted to run to him and console him but Nah he is no different they are all the same. "Just finish up and get the f*ck out of here," she said before walking out of his presence.If only Clara knew who she was talking to she wouldn't act in such a way towards him but of course, she doesn't know anything about the popular young billionaire in Bryxton City that everyone knows about.Alexander brew furrowed in surprise as he gave Clara a stern look she was different, everything about her is different at first he thought she was just pretending not to recognize him but now it dwell on her that she didn't know anything about him she is the first girl that didn't jump at him or crush on
A few hours later the ray of light comingout from the open curtain shine directly at Clara's face. She raises her hand using it to cover her face. She blinks her eyes repeatedly until it adapts to the light. Everything around her seems strange as she wakes up with a bright smile on her face."Why the hell am I smiling?" She raises her hand to her face as she uses her two palms to cover her face. For the first time since she received the doctor's note, she is actually smiling.I stretch her two hands above her head and I yawn loudly when suddenly she pauses when she remembered last night. The guy she met at the restaurant. Quickly, she turned beside her in search of him but he was nowhere to be found."What the hell, am I dreaming, or what I left him here he slept beside me last night," Clara says to herself, tapping on the bed assuring herself that she isn't wrong.Her head tilted to the side when she realized that he might be in the bathroom. She wants to call his name just then it
