" Clara, are you busy ? Can you join me for a drink? " The next morning, her uncle called her, since Xavier was already out. She informed Ma'am Leah instead. Incase he got back before she did. picked up her bag , she hurriedly left the estate , earlier on the she felt that something was off, with the way her uncle was speaking.In a private room, inside one of the most expensive Mexican restaurants in the country , Clara met Ryan drinking alone. She could tell he didn't touch any of the food in front of him , on seeing her walking towards him,he stood up and forced a small smile with his hands wide open, asking for a hug." Clara dear, come give uncle a big hug , " he said drunkly. Clara was so surprised. She had never seen this man like this before. Her uncle was one of the most responsible men she had ever come across, he cared so much about the family reputation. What could he be going through for him to end up like this? Clara helped him sit, before sitting opposite him. "Look de
"It's okay,calm down" Alex said, holding her hands and trying to comfort her.She slowly calmed down. Seeing her hand being held by another man, Clara quickly withdrew her hand." Oh, am sorry about that " Alex politely apologized, seeing how uncomfortable his touch made her feel. He took a few steps away from her before proceeding with the results analysis. "You are having such hallucinations because of your mental state. Here, take this back with you. Make sure to put it on when going to bed, so that you won't see things you don't want to see and don't think too much. Just relax yourself and have a good sleep" he said, handing her an eye mask.With the eye mask in her hands, Clara remained still on the chair. That's right. Why didn't she think about it all this while? With an eye mask she won't be able to see that picture even if she doesn't get any sleep." Thank you " she thanked him sincerely. Looking at the file in his hand, she asked "Do I... "" Nothing is actually wrong with
He buried her in such a public cemetery because he knew how much she hated being alone. Today no one can't wait to come keep her company. How could he bear to disappoint her? He walked very hard on that day. The Davis and everything that belongs to them were supposed to go down today but everything got destroyed because of the stupid woman in his house. How could she do this to him? How?The black car, once again, disappeared into the rain, leaving behind a black umbrella covering the tomb.****It was raining heavily outside, but fear wouldn't allow Clara to stay indoors doing anything, so she ran to the abandoned greenhouse to tend the flowers.She was doing this absentmindedly. The white lilacs were all growing very fast. She had gone to buy the flower seeds the first day she discovered this place. She cleared the not too big garden which was covered with weeds as a result of it being abandoned for a long time. It's about two months now , her lilacs and other flowers are now beaut
" Who allowed you in here" ? With a wave of his hand another flower pot came clashing down. These flower pots were all precious and well known. Among them are ancient ones, especially for some Chinese royals during the Qing dynasty. Blue glazed porcelain, dark_red enameled pots were all a masterpiece, but now they were brought to nothing just because she touched them."I'm sorry , I saw the greenhouse was overgrown with weeds, so I thought it was abandoned. I decided to make use of it, since I had nothing else to do, I bought some seeding and planted them " Clara's voice was trembling so badly that she could make sense of what she was saying, but she didn't stop either.His first question was actually why she was here , not about the swapped documents.Now she understood why Mrs Leah had that expression on, earlier , upon discovering she was renovating this place. It happened that it was also another forbidden part of the house ." Who allowed you to do things your own way, in my h
The moment she thought that she found herself a kin , the only family member who loved her, it turned out that she was only being used.He was really cruel, kicking her back into the hole she almost clawed up from, cruely forcing her to accept reality , to see how ridiculous she looked, continuously mocking her stupid and naive self. Her remaining self-esteem had been trampled on by him. Perhaps in his eyes she didn't even deserve to have one. " You heard him, are you still going to believe in your ridiculous excuses ? " Xavier hung up the phone and turned to taunt her. Clara just stared blankly at the raindrops falling into the puddle, creating tiny bubbles. The drops were getting bigger as they fell, so were her tears. She was silently mourning her naive self." Lilac has been here alone for thirteen years . Today is her anniversary of death. The contract with the Neo Enterprise was meant to be a gift for her, but unfortunately, you ruined it and, since you ruined it, you are
Xavier drove back home with a heavy heart, but on getting to the mansion the noise coming from the main building made him frown slightly. " Sir Master Qin and Master Weston are here "Mrs Leah ran down to collect his wet jacket he had just taken off. She reported to him in her usual business-like voice.. Xavier nodded and went in, only to see his friends drinking with two other women ." Reynold, is the roof of your car damaged ? You must be the most handsome drenched rat I have ever come across", Kiel Weston, who was the first to see him, couldn't help but make joke of his poor state. " Why are you guys here ?" He did not bother to explain why he was drenched. His cold voice showed that he was not welcoming. " We are here to get to know your wife better, am I right Alex? Kiel said, hitting Alex gently with his elbow." Don't listen to his nonsense, he is out of love,so he came over to drink with you, since he needs comfort", Alex lied flatly.Ezekiel flew into a rage. "Why am I a
Hearing the silence from the other end, Alex grabbed Kiel's car keys from the bar, ignoring his friends screaming behind him." Bring back my baby you thief, you can't drive her in the state you are in " Kiel left his unfinished drink and ran after him. He was more concerned about his new car getting damaged, he only brought it here to show off around the city. Alex roughly tried unlocking the door, probably because his head was messed up. He failed to unlock it and kicked the car in frustration. Seeing this, Kiel quickly retrieved the keys and volunteered to drive. " Why don't you go sit and let me drive?" He swiftly unlocked the door and they both went in, " so where are we heading to? " He asked the equally clueless Alex. "Opened I don't know, she mentioned a cemetery, there are thousands of cemeteries in the country. Where do I start", Alex replied, almost in the state of breaking down." It's okay, let's use the map " although he had thousands of questions to ask, this was the
When his information was passed down to his audience, Alex pushed the stunned Tony out of his way as he angrily walked away . "Tony, hurry! Contact Dr. Smith " Xavier ordered in panic. starring at the woman in bed, there's no way he is going to believe this information. How can things end up like that after a night?"Yes sir" Tony quickly went outside to make the call , 'Madam has been medically been proclaimed mentally ill. This is a serious matter.'"Grandpa please, don't leave me here... I am not sick... I will be good, please don't send me away, Mom... don't hit me.. I will be good, please Mom, Xavier, look! She's here, the zombie girl is after me. Don't push me towards her,no please no!"In the ward, Xavier was terrified just listening to Clara, as she screamed and begged in her sleep. With her voice he could tell how desperately she needed someone to hold her. All this while she had hidden her helplessness very well. Now she could only free them in her sleep.Looking at her
