"We are glad to finally be a part of your family" Ron spoke with so much happiness. Of course, to have a family relationship with Fernandez is a blessing. They are wonderful people in addition to being number one in business.
"Don't feel burdened as I am helping you in your new branch restaurant. It's purely business that I plan to invest in there. Don't ever think that we are proposing this marriage for business" Frank wanted to be clear on this. They liked Ron's family a lot. Being at the top, they managed to raise beautiful children. Frank loved Clara Alina and Elsa.So when Grace was sad that Clara denied the proposal, she became happy when Ron proposes it to Elsa and snd Alex."This is our family tradition." Grace Fernandez, mother of Frank eyed Alex to make the bride wear the pearl set. Alex took the pearl necklace and that's when he raised his eyes to look at his bride.He walked to them and knew that Alina is not the girl they are proposing to him. But not sure of his bride. Shouldn't he pay attention to them when they talked about his marriage? He felt so stupid to even not to identify his to-be wife when they are about to engage the next day.He looked at Elsa. She is an absolute beauty. There is no way, anyone would not fall for her. Her smile and twinkling eyes are attracting almost everyone in the hall. Her smooth skin radiates her glow.He turned to Clara and she was already staring at him. He has never seen such a girl in his life. She looked like an angel with no wings for sure. Alex never admired any girl after his poor breakup. Clara's dominance was clear in her mannerisms. Her don't care look attracted him the most. There is no word to explain her beautiful skin which had no makeup at all. They both had a long eye lock as the hall fell into silence.Alex though could calculate that Elsa must be his bride, because of her cheerful mood and because of Clara's uninterested look, his legs took him to Clara's side involuntarily. Clara widened her eyes and he could hear gasps around him and that's when he came back to reality as he stopped there. Damn, should he be so obvious? And wait a minute, is she the one who rejected him? Alex felt furious with her for rejecting him."Can you help me in making your sister wear this?" Alex always manages to shine in everything. But Clara is one smart lady.Clara gently lifted Elsa's hair as Alex made her wear but both were looking at each other whereas Elsa was just happy with the pearl necklace alone."Why did I feel that he is putting that necklace in your neck?" Alina whispered with a giggle as Clara too felt the same way. Elsa silently left for her room to cherish the moment."Let's have the engagement tomorrow. And we can have a marriage in a week. We don't want to delay them." Grace requested them as Ron is too happy for a reason. He already wanted to propose this."it would be our pleasure," Ron replied and everyone left the place.****"Are you not attending the function?" Jason asked keeping the milkshake on the table."No one would even notice my absence" Clara replied with a blank expression."That's why I am telling you. Just run away with me. We shall have a beautiful life." Jason winked at her as she let a chuckle. His flirts are the only thing that makes her alive in this busy life. She sipped the cold milkshake and it soothes her burned tongue. Damn that old woman. She worked hard to hurt her this time."Let's open a club and make an announcement that whoever makes your grandma cry, they will get a free entry pass" Jason got serious all of a sudden."Is it hurting?" he asked cupping her cheeks suddenly as she got alarmed."What? Why?" she asked trying to sound confident. But Jason can see through her easily."She must have added something to your food again" Jason stated with a sad tone. He didn't like why the hell she had to live with them even after she is 20. She has an independent job and is even capable of doing more. But she is so adamant about not leaving the home."Omg. Your dad messaged me" Jason spoke as Clara's eyes twinkled with hope. Even though she hates her dad like hell, she gets a little emotional if he notices her absence. After all, she is a normal human being with a soft heart full of yearning for love."He asked me to get you to the church," Jason spoke and Clara stood up to leave."Are you going? I don't think he is asking for you out of love. It must be to show his guests. He can't say that his daughter is not there at his other daughter's wedding." Jason stated the obvious. But Clara didn't want to argue. She won't like to insult her dad in front of people. Whatever may be, she will be like her mom. Dignified and well-mannered.Clara and Jason entered the church and no wonder that it is flashed on every news channel. It is not like the church in any way. It looked like a paradise glittering everywhere."It must be your wedding only if you didn't deny them" Jason felt sad for his friend. But Clara smiled at him."Marriage is nothing but betrayal. I won't fall for this trap ever in my life." She replied as she walked towards the left side room"If you ever want to marry anyone, remember me. I will be there" Jason winked at her as she laughed softly. This guy always helps her to lighten her mood. He is a full package.*****"We didn't force you, right?" Rose asked feeling guilty all of a sudden."Just remember your promise. Better be ready to marry someone I choose" Alex replied with a warning. He is doing this just for Rose and wanted her to have a blessed life.The arrangement did make him suffocate. Why does this have to be the same as last time? His hand started trembling slightly. The great Alexandar Fernandez is scared for some reason and no one could see his fear."Boss, Sana is not here." Mac's voice was so real and Alex turned to see the same audience from that day. Their slight laughter filled his ears as his eyes shifted to his dad who was on the verge of breaking down. He could see Rose on the floor as she was crying closing her face. What the hell happened all of a sudden?Slowly everything disappeared as Alex found himself standing there waiting for his bride, Elsa. Past is always painful and it can never be forgotten easily. Now everything is fine and nothing will be like before. That's what Alex was chanting to himself.He saw Clara entering the room. Unknown irritation was filled for this girl. How can she reject marrying him? Whatever, he will make sure she regrets her decision."Boss, Madame Elsa is not there" Alex turned to his secretary, Mac who has just delivered the message. That can't be happening for the second time.Before he could get the news to his mind, his eyes widened in shock at seeing a person in the front row."Sandy Williams is here?" someone screamed as they all circled Sandy to take pictures and have a talk with him.Sandy was glaring at Alex. Alex turned to Mac and decided one thing. That today he won't leave the church without marrying.¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥ 'There is a way you can get my mom's property' Xavier was sure of the plan. His words made Ron smile. Is there even a chance for his fortune? "But 25% is mine" He knew to deal with profit alone. "25% plus my recommendation for your club membership to my VIP members" That's a big deal for Xavier. He smiled sheepishly. As for Ron, the value of shares belonging to Clara is huge to bet on them. Now he could grab that fortune for himself. So he is willing to do anything. "In the will, it's mentioned that when Clara turns 23, she will be the only guardian of all the properties. If she is married, it will be inherited by Hasley's kids" The moment he spoke, Ron widened his eyes in surprise. Damn, how can fortune knock on his door like this? "Paxton?" Ron asked, shocked. He knew what he should do after that. So, indirectly Ron would be the guardian as Paxton is a minor. So all he should do is make Clara marry. "Your both sisters are my lucky charm. '' Ron speaks shamelessly.
Clara sat there as tears threatened to spill from her eyes. Her dad talked to her after years and what he asked? Is this why he is keeping her in his house? So that someday she can help him with anything? The thought was so hurtful that her hand shivered a little. "You are my hero. You should never get scared of anyone. Be smart and always do what you like. Don't get influenced by this love" Her mom's words on her death bed made her stiffen her position. Right. She can't be emotional now. She doesn't care if they punish her even severely. But she can't marry anyone with their threat. Marriage and love have no value in her life. "Let's run away" Jason spoke as he got scared by the atmosphere. He knew that Elsa won't come back and they would blackmail Clara for sure. "Let them do whatever they want. Today I will show them that I was not silent because of fear. I was enduring them because I wanted to." Clara spoke as she wiped her tears. She felt somewhat light to have spoken like tha
Alex asked the driver to stop as they reached Clara's place. Alex was watching her intently. Clara didnt give even a sible expression. She was too silent and steady. She walked to the entrance. Alex couldnt stop glaring at her. "Welcome," Bella greeted everyone. Alex, Clara and Rose entered the home. "You told me we will enjoy it as Elsa will be out" The loud voice startled everyone as Alex saw a little boy who might be around ten years old. What did he tell just now? Alex looked at Clara, who shrugged off her shoulders. What was wrong with that? If he married Elsa, she would be damn happy without her. "Paxton," Clara ran to hug her brother, But he turned his face showing that he was not in the mood for any hugs. She stood and left her room. She knew Paxton was one tough nut to crack when he became grumpy. "Pass me the remote" Alex turned backside to see whom Paxton was asking and found none. "Mr Six Feet. Can you pass me the remote?" the nerve of the little boy. Alex gaped at hi
Alex entered the room after three hours, and Clara was already sleeping on the bed. He changed himself and sat on the right side of the bed. That was indeed a long day. Did he marry her? He looked at Clara. She looked like a doll. Her doll face matched all aspects of her face, and he found no reason to look away. Her phone screen beeped with a message. Alex couldn't help but see that. It flashed in front of his eyes, and how could he ignore them when the message was about Alex? "If Alexander was trying to do anything, just give him a hard kick below his abdomen. Or else slap him first and call me right away. I am just outside your home," Alex widened his eyes, reading the content. He looked at the id named Jason. Who the hell was he? Another message beeped."Did you have dinner?" Isn't he getting too worried about his wife? Alex hasn't seen her eat anything since their marriage. Is she fine? "Please take care" The last message beeped, and Alex could see worry in that statement. He m
"I should have left her a message, at least" Jenny felt sad about the mishap. But she was threatened by Elsa not to reveal anything so that Elsa could have fun seeing his face lose its colour.Elsa walked to the private cabin that was soundproof. But she chose not to close the curtains, and Clara could watch her doing everything."This is the final design. It will suit our top model Racheal to lead the fashion show." Elsa was damn excited to see Clara outside, who was too shocked to move an inch. Elsa was swaying the long bridal gown happily that was designed by Clara. The clients were pretty happy as they discussed more about the show and the meeting ended exactly after half an hour. Clara didn't even blink. That can't be possible. Jenny looked at Clara with pity."Thank you." Elsa shook hands with the client and came out with so much attitude."Didn't you leave the place?" Elsa asked as Clara looked at her blankly. Elsa enjoyed every bit of Clara's expression."Oh, I forgot. We don't
"Is there anything you want to tell me or should I hand up the call?" Clara asked in a curt tone that startled Alex. How can anyone talk to him like this? "I will be returning on the evening flight and will be home before 8 at night" he felt so stupid to recite his schedules to her. Who is she? But alas the damage is done already."Am I your maid?" She asked as he widened his eyes at her words."You should call Joe and tell him. I don't have anything in connection with your arrival. If you think that I would prepare your food or something like that like a normal wife, I am sorry, I was not the one you were supposed to marry" Clara barked in the call. She for the fact knew that he can't do anything in the call. Right now, her mood is really bad and she can burn anyone alive with her words. And moreover Alex is the main reason she lost her rights over the company. So she deserved to already vent out her anger. Alex couldn't come out from the shock. He gulped the lumps in his throat an
So many betrayals, so many miseries. But life has to still move on. Clara looked at the dark sky with no energy left inside her. Her father didn't even find it necessary to inform her about the company. He didn't even care to check if she is fine here or not. All of a sudden she felt so lonely that she wanted to end her life. The thought was overwhelming but she knew that she won't give up that easily. She stood up with a smile. She is happy about the victory in the interview. She wanted to believe that her good days are yet to come and it has begun this way.Clara entered her room and stumbled suddenly. She put the lights on and widened her eyes looking at the arrangements. There was rose and rose and rose, everywhere. The candles in the room made them appear like about perfect romantic date. The wall glitter with stars as the large frame in the center highlighted the arrangement. Her marriage picture where they exchanged rings. Alex's words rang in her ears as she stood there shoc
"Whatever happening here is not good" Sharon Fernandez threw the things in anger. Her tears threatened to come out anytime."What do you want to do then?" Mathew Fernandez, Brother of Frank yelled at his wife when they came to know that Alex became the new president of their company. "Our Edward deserves that" Sharon, his wife, teared up at being treated unfairly by the family. They always prioritized Alex over Edward and that doesn't get well with both Mathew and Sharon. "He is returning to our home after a long time." Mathew wanted his wife to calm down so that they don't fight for such a thing in front of Edward."He would always be in second line if he didnt fight for his rights. I dont want him to be like you" Sharon yelled as she left the room, leaving Mathew sigh tiredly. He also thinks that Frank gets the top position at everything while Mathew was just used by him.****"Such an?" Alex asked again as he inched closer to her side."Asshole?" Alex asked, helping Clara to fini
