Clara POV"Who the hell are you" I screamed but he quickly covered my mouth with his hand and I made a silent muffle sound the one victims make when they're been kidnapped so that no one will hear my voice then he drag me back into the restroom and slam my back hard on the wall making a slight pain rushed through my body while I whimper in a silent cry."Did you think you could get away from me that easily huh?" "Who are you?" I almost scream my lungs out as I struggle to raise my head up to take a look at his face but he is taller than me and he is not letting me see him. f*ck him."I have nothing to do with you, just let me go.""Let you go? hmmm." He pauses for a while as if he is thinking of what to say "No I am not letting you go you are mine, did you know that?""What! I belong to nobody." Why would he claim me as his? I am not a kid, I am a single mother that has a responsibility to take care of. A random guy won't just show up from the blues and try to claim me. I am not som

I wake up very early on Monday morning and prepare for work. I went to check Aria in her room while I am already fully dressed. Too bad, I won't be able to take her to school today. I don't want to be late for work since I didn't go to work yesterday.I peck Aria on her cheeks while she was still sleeping and turn to leave when suddenly her tiny hand holds me from behind. I turn around and my eyes met with Aria whose eyes were already half awake."Mummy, are you going to work already?" She asks with her tiny voice."Yes, my princess, I will be leaving now.""But Mommy won't you take me to school first? you promised to be the one to take me to school today" She says with her eyes fully open as she stares at me with her cute green eyeball which always reminds me of the one who is not to be mentioned.I take in a deep sigh and try to come up with something. These days my daughter and I don't usually have girls' time anymore due to how busy I have been with work but, this is for her good.

I am an orphan since I already lost my mother, the only person that stands as both parents to me. Most times I do remember what happened that night I almost go insane but in the end, my mom always makes sure she helps me to wipe away that memory. It takes me three years to come back to my right senses after what happened to me that night which resulted in Aria's pregnancy. At times I wish the memory of what happened remained fresh in my head so I will have to remember who the person is but I am glad my mom was able to wipe it away. What is the point of having a memory that always makes me traumatized? I never wanted to see or recognize the face of he who did that to me but one thing I know is that the gender is dangerous, the gender that betrayed Jesus.Even if I couldn't remember the man vividly well. Even when I don't have much income to even carter for myself I couldn't abort the baby and become a murderer.So I kept the little being alive and with the help of my best friend Trica

CLARA POV ”What if I decided to force the truth out of your mouth sweetheart.” He said to my face his hand still pinning me hard on the table as I remained still trying to plan what my next defense move would be with Alexander. I can't let him turn me into a weakling. ”What if I didn't subject to whatever threat you are trying to prove are you gonna kill me huh?” He chuckled lightly and turned his head to the other side before bringing it back to face me ”No I won't kill you but maybe after I have shoved my d’ck inside your pu**y you will learn to accept my offer.” Without waiting for me to say a word Alexander's hands move to my dress with a maniacal interest his eyes still fixed on me. I felt him rip my dress above my knees which sent a cold shiver to my exposed thighs. ”What are you trying to do?” I wiggled against him struggling with my hands in frustration. He got hold of my hands and pinned them above my head with my back lying flat on the table while he was leaning above me.

Clara stands transfixed as she watches everything as Alexander wears that beautiful smile on his face showing the crowd the beautiful part of him, but the only part of him that she knew was the dangerous and frustrating side.But how did all these happen? She questioned herself. How did Alexander become the manager of Gallery Studio and also helped her daughter? He was the anonymous benefactor that paid for her daughter's ticket fee into Studio Gallery when she couldn't afford it.No, this is not good and she knows that.”Clara... Clara...Clara.” Tricia calls her friend who is already absent-minded, she taps her on her shoulder and Clara shrieks in fear like someone who has been absent-minded for a long time.”Are you okay?” Tricia asked her worriedly when she noticed how absent-minded she had been.”Yes...yes, I am fine.” She stuttered, her eyes blinking repeatedly.”This is the handsome rich Alexander I wanted to show you the other day isn't he charming?” Tricia hits her playfully o
