“Let’s start with a thousand dollars,” Elizabeth replied and Annie kept smirking.“What a cheap thing!” Annie muttered to herself before agreeing to give her the money.In Elizabeth’s thinking, she needed to start with little amounts, then over time, she would proceed to call large sums for her.To Annie, Elizabeth was not even smart enough to ask for a reasonable sum, before she would be able to ask for the second payment, it would be very late by then.“Just send me your details,” Annie sounded off and that was how the call ended.Only a fool uses her daughter’s misfortune to threaten others. Annie, without wasting time, sent the money to Elizabeth.She needed something for a start so she decided to take care of little things, if every other thing kept her sad. At least, this would keep her happy. After Clara was chased out of the Peters family, she was so devastated and broken.She could recall Alex telling her that he didn’t trust all these charades that his parents were displayin
When Clara was walking away from Alex, she hoped that he would stop her. She wished that he would run over and tell her, Sweet, it’s all a joke.She was walking fast and slow at the same thing. Fast enough to leave his sight, slow enough to hear when he called.But nothing of that nature happened, Clara began to feel her heart was shattering.Since her birthday, she hadn’t communicated with Sophia. Her work contract was not over and she barely had time to speak on the phone.She doesn’t have anybody to run to? Not her family, not friends.Then she remembered someone, and as she packed, she thought of where to go.There was no need for packing all that Alex got for her after all, she wouldn’t be needing them anymore.So she only took a few basic things that she would need, she had made up her mind to forget Alex and stop daydreaming he would forgive her, at least because she was pregnant.He even referred to the baby as a thing. The maids gathered at the window looking at her.Some were
While she was all agitated about all that had happened, Clara could see Joe stepping forward with all smiles on his face.“I got you chocolate to put you in a lighter mood.” He said with a warm smile.“Thanks again,” Clara reacted.As she bit the chocolate, it wasn’t making her mood lighter, it only reminded her of the past and she felt like she was going crazy.She didn’t even know when tears began to drop from her eyes.“Clara, are you crying?”“No, not at all. I think the wind blew some dust into my eyes.” She lied, offering him a fake smile.Even though Joe did not believe her, he didn’t say anything anymore. Soon they arrived at his house. He stayed in a two-bedroom leased apartment which wasn’t bad at all.It was well-furnished and had lots of interior decoration in it. He used lots of wall paintings and art designs and his house was almost made of only two colors.Black and white.Clara couldn’t help but admire the interior. Joe wasn’t as rich as Alex and Henry, but he was okay
Elizabeth had exhausted the money that she had extorted from Annie.It was time to call her again and collect more money from her.On the other hand, Annie had ordered people to always follow Elizabeth. Whenever they get any chance, she should be kidnapped and locked up.“Hello, Miss.” One of the men greeted. “The woman is always vigilant and at this point, there is nothing we can do.”“What do you mean by always being vigilant? Why can’t you deliver this job effectively?”Annie roared.She had been acting like a mentally deranged person all of a sudden. And she knows is one because nothing has been working well for her.“Ms, this is to prevent mistakes. Remember that once a mistake is made, it can’t be reversed.”“Whatever.” Annie roared again. While they were still talking, she disconnected the call.Mr. Roberts had presented the divorce papers to Elizabeth and just as agreed, she didn’t have any option but to sign it.After all, what was there to lose? She had already lost everything
Jane looked at Alex's eyes as he continued to hide his expression.“Can you deny it? Can you say it’s a lie? Alex, the wife you love so much has cheated on you. You see, When I always told you, you defended her.”“She was not aware that you have an illness and you are infertile.”“Alex, you see. I am the only person who can stay with you. I know you Mr darkest Secret, I know you can’t get a woman pregnant, but I still want to stay with you.” Jane lied.Alex wasn’t holding it anymore. He loved Clara so much, maybe, if he had told her the truth, she would not have gone to cheat knowing he would find out.It was because she was not aware of his condition, and that’s why she still lied to his face. He loves her, but he still loves himself. And he can’t be with someone who betrayed him that much and is carrying another man’s child.“It’s enough.” Alex hit the table for Jane to stop talking. “ I would appreciate it if you leave me alone, Jane.” He said.“No Alex, I wouldn’t leave you. I know
In Joe’s mansion, Clara had been trying to leave her best life.Joe practically does everything for her. She doesn’t even know how to appreciate him. He does most of the cooking, and the cleaning, and even does laundry for her at times.Ever since she opened up and shared what happened with her to him, he had been a very good shoulder to rely on.In His words, he would always say “Clara, don’t worry, I’m here for you.” And he was truly always there. In fact, because of him, Clara was beginning to forget memories of Alex a little.It was hard, and she does think about him from time to time, she wouldn’t lie Joe had been a comforter to her.One hot afternoon, Joe left the house as usual. He said he was coming back in the evening.Always alone, Clara decided to have her bathe. but she will barely do that this day.Joe on the other end had been running out of patience for all those things that Clara denied him back then, he would get it from her soonest.So he needed to lie. He knew that s
Joe didn’t leave the door, he kept banging on it. Meanwhile Clara had been packing her items. She didn’t even spend a single night here again it doesn’t matter if she was homeless she was leaving straight up.While packing, she continued panting in fear. Assuring her baby that it was going to be okay.But there was only one problem, how would she leave the house? Like Joe said, it was his house.She could see the force with which the door was shaking. He was glaring that he would devour her if he got her in this room.This is a typical example of people changing. Clara was going to take an oath that she trusted you but had just proved to her that no one needs to be trustedIf he didn't leave the door, there was no way she could go so she began to look around.Since it was the ground floor, she checked to know if she could escape from the windows, but that would be very risky especially because of our babyAlso, there was no way she would escape through the window and not make a so
Just like the DPO promised, they started to investigate the case thoroughly.They tried to contact Mr. Alex, but he told him that he wasn’t interested since he wasn’t with his wife any longer so it wasn't his business.It was quite understandable, yet disappointing since in the past, he was the one who pursued the case.Even when the Evidence presented were much. Because of the person involved the police department needed to make sure that they were offending anybody.After all said and done, Annie pleaded guilty. When she threatened Elizabeth she never knew that she would take it seriously, but now she could see her name as a suspect for murder.So Annie decided to visit Mr and Mrs Peters for help. She knew they would be able to help her, if they wished.Mr and Mrs Peters have not been able to communicate with your son however, it bothered them less, this was because the greatest obstacle they had was no longer there, which is no other person than Clara.As usual, Mr and Mrs. peters
