CLARAKNOCK! KNOCK!! "Mom, just a little more, please," I mumbled in bed, trying to enjoy my beauty sleep. But the knock wouldn't stop.It came in once again, getting my eyes opened, and making me realize where exactly I was."I'm home?" I uttered, lingering my eyes around the room."How did I get here? I don't remember stepping into the room or..." I paused, remembering Diego."I was at his office. Did he bring me home?" I looked around again, seeing clearly that I was indeed in my room.I know I fell asleep at Diego's office when he stepped out to attend to something. I got so bored and dozed off.I thought I'd wake up later on, but with the aches I was having at that time, I didn't have the zeal or even the strength to get up."I guess I overslept," I said, rubbing the back of my neck.Where I sat, I heard the sound of the knock that woke me from my sleep, coming in again.That got me dashing out of bed and straight up to answer the door.On opening it, I met a maid standing outsi

CLARAThe Rector kept staring at Diego and I in total confusion. She couldn't believe what she just heard?"She's your sister? I... I didn't know you two were related.""That doesn't give you the right to suspend her!" He sparked, causing the Rector to shiver.Her reaction towards Diego's tone left me amused. I never knew she was afraid of him."I placed a call through your P. A to speak to you on Clara's behalf. It's not as if I didn't give your P. A a name, I mentioned and spelt out her Clara Parker to her!" Diego raised, getting furious.The Rector began to apologize to him, saying her P. A didn't tell her about it."She didn't tell me anything. Please wait, I'll straighten things out," She pleaded, getting hold of her phone.I watched in amazement.So, Diego did call the school to clear my name. He didn't forget.The Rector called the P. A to her office, expressing a raging tone, before slamming the phone down.Once the P. A arrived, the Rector didn't spare her. She blasted her wi

CLARAWith style, Diego helped me into his car while his guards stood aside, guarding us.In that moment, I saw myself in Cinderella's shoes, when she was being taken away from her evil step mother and sisters by the prince.But in my case, I'm being taken out of school by my billionaire step brother, with eyes on us.Can this day get any better?I sat in the back seat of the car and took a quick look at my school. Students had their gaze on Diego and I. The presence of the guards must have stunned them as well.The other door came opened. I looked and found Diego stepping in to sit with me.A guard sat at the driver seat the same time, before Diego gave the command, "Let's go.""Yes sir," He obeyed, starting the engine.Diego dropped his eyes at me, and I ended up turning my gaze in a swift, feeling funny.This doesn't feel like me at all.Whenever Diego looks at me, I'll be ready to give him the eyes and show I wasn't afraid of him, but now... It feels kinda weird.I no longer felt

CLARANight at the mansion, after taking a nap from the outing, I woke up to a thousand notifications on the pics and videos I uploaded.Everyone saw this and couldn't help but sing my praise. I felt like a queen."Diamond restaurant?! No way!""Oh my gosh! I've always wanted to be there.""Did you see Diego Smith? He clearly smiled."All their messages left me shrieking with excitement, sending me jumping out of bed in joy.What intrigued me more was the number of followers I had. It had crossed two hundred thousand!"Beat that, Jessica," I laughed mockingly, knowing well that Jessica doesn't stand a chance against me.I stepped out of my room in excitement, heading for the living room, just to find Diego sleeping on the couch."When did he... Why am I asking? I was sleeping."He sat on the couch with his back leaned against it. His head fallen backwards with his eyes shut."It's clear that he's tired from all the work." I kept looking at him, thinking of what to do next."Maybe I s

CLARAAfter getting Diego's message, I found it hard to take my bath anymore.I got out of the tub, pacing about the bathroom, and contemplating if I should lock the door or not."He said he'll be here soon. Think fast Clara," I panicked out in confusion.It's not as if I don't know why Diego is coming. I do know why he's coming here, and I really can't tell what my reaction is towards this."Come on, Clara. Are you just going to stand here and do nothing?" I asked myself, feeling my entire body turning hot.I could no longer contain the heat rising in me. So, I decided to take a cold shower to cool my head down."Maybe I can think of what I want to do under the shower. A cold water to the skin helps me relax."I took off my towel and stepped into the shower, turning the water on, as it came beating down on my skin.When it did, I felt much better.Again, I took my mind back to Diego's message, and asked myself if I really want to leave the door open for him."He's Diego, I know that.

CLARAMy holiday to Canada wasn't over yet.Diego took me out shopping in one of the nicest store in the country, giving me the go ahead to get whatever I want.I felt thrilled when I heard him, but needed to be sure he meant what he said."Are you sure I can take whatever I want?" I asked, taking hold of an expensive diamond necklace, just to mess with Diego. Mr grumpy was busy attending to his phone until I called his attention and asked, "So, you don't mind if I take this?"He looked at me and gave a smirk."Is that what you want?" He asked, gazing into my eyes.I felt a flush across my cheek as I gently dropped the diamond necklace, saying, " I was just asking, since you said I can have whatever I want.""Are you scared of me? Do you think it's a trick?" He asked, stepping closer to me.I hate to admit this, but I like whenever he makes his approach at me.I bet if we were alone, I would have melted right before him. But we're in public and I feel more like my old self.I stood u

DIEGO"Great work, Mr Smith."My business partners shook hands with me after our meeting came to an end."Let me see you off," I offered, leading the way out of the conference room.I escorted my business partners to the parking lot with my secretary, wishing them all a safe journey to their respected destination. Once they were gone, my secretary said, gaining my attention, "Sir, I didn't know that lady was your step sister.""Hmm. Now you know," I said, turning around, heading for the company."When she came that day, I thought she was among those nasty girls that always come to see you, " She kept talking, drawing nearer to me from behind.I could tell how close she was through the tone of her voice."What girls are you talking about?" I questioned, facing her with a glare.Her mouth came shunned at once, with her head lowering down.I know exactly what she's talking about, and I don't appreciate such nonsense."My apologies, Mr Smith, " She apologized."Keep your thoughts and rub

DIEGOAnother day to head to the office.My secretary just called, informing me about the arrival of a foreign client from Japan.Not wanting to delay, I made my way down the stairs, just to find Clara waiting for me.I thought she had gone already, since today was her last exam, but she's still around."Why aren't you on your way to school?" I asked, getting closer to her point where she stood.Clara shrugged and said, " I thought I should wait for you. Maybe if you could drop me off instead of a guard.""And you think I have time to take you to school and then to my office?" I lifted my brow at her."You do that sometimes, so yeah. You should have time. " She crossed her arms at me, acting like it's my responsibility to attend to her needs.Well, I don't blame her for being this way. I'm the one who made the suggestion to her mother, that I could watch over her till she's back from Italy with my father."No," I refused her, walking pass Clara."Come on! I need you to drop me off at
