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
Alexander's hand tightened beside him as he tried his best not to look too tense. How could his father suggest such a thing? How could he be forcing him into doing what he is not ready for.A wife? when he is still passing through heartbreak.He knew what they were planning to do. All this is the suggestion of his stepmother Mrs. Sara. She is the person behind this. He knew that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. She knew that he can't fall in love with another woman easily so she decided to threaten him with his weakness.Immediately his car stopped in front of the big company building. His guards came down and opened the car door for him while he walked inside majestically.*************Clara was inside her room checking herself out in the mirror, fully dressed and ready to go meet Alexander at his office according to the address he gave her when suddenly she heard the scream of her best Tricia from outside as she came running inside with a magazine in her hand."Clara come
"What with the staring today Clara? Get a grip of yourself, yes he is handsome but not my spake." She humbled under her breath before narrowing her attention back to him."I am not checking you out and how did you get my name?" She tilted her head to the side wondering how he got her name when she didn't know anything about him."I saw it on your work ID tag last night""Oh okay, so why did you call me here?" "Please have your seat." He spoke politely to her and for the first time, she could see that serious look on his face again unlike the guy she met yesterday at her work.Without saying any words Clara sat on the seat before him."Did you care for anything?""No I am fine" just then the door to his office swung open and a lady walked in. She was wearing a black pencil skirt and a blue bottom-up top."Did you care for tea or coffee?" she asked with a broad smile all for the Grand Gold president."Bring us coffee""No, I don't drink coffee," she replied sharply.Alexander turn and
