When Clara got home, she was so tired that she fell asleep. So Alex got back too and decided not to disturb her.He thought that she was going to wake before dinner time but she slept till then and he didn't even bother to wake her.When Clara woke up at midnight, she was very hungry and tired. Remembering everything that happened the previous day and even the old lady that she encountered.She walked to the fridge and took some snacks to eat. She remembered deciding to open up to Alex today but nature had happened and she slept off, she could always do it tomorrow anyway.The drink that Mrs. Peters brought was meant to make Alex so sexually active that he would not be able to refuse any advances made at him by anybody.That was why he has been feeling somehow towards Clara but manages to be able to control himself. The drink was finished now and whatever it was they wanted to carry out could be accomplished.Annie had phoned Selene to inform her that they would be carrying out their

After Clara opened the door, her gaze met with that of Selene; she lay under facing upwards while Alex lay on top of her facing downwards.Alex was too angry to notice that someone entered. He was lost for a minute thinking of how to kill Selene.Then after Selene saw that Clara was standing, she held the back of Alex’s head and pushed it closer to hers like she was going to kiss him.Immediately Clara saw that, she ran, she didn't know where she was going to, she just kept running.It was the speed of the person who left that Alex knew that someone was there. He then pushed Selene out with so much force that she almost broke her spinal cord.“Who’s there?” Alex called but he didn't get any reply, he only heard footsteps of someone running and went after the person.Then he saw her back, it was the back of Clara.“Clara, Clara, Sweet,” he called out but her eyes were filled with tears. She was gasping for breath, sobbing but not crying out loud.“Clara, wait,” Alex called out again.B

“Mum!” Alex screamed. It was true that Alex had been betrayed but he never wanted his mum to make decisions for him. Whatever happened was left for the both of them to sort out. If all of these were for him to marry Annie, he would never do that. What he and Clara have was not a real marriage so it didn't matter. “Son, I am afraid you do not have a say in this matter.” Mrs. Peters told her son. “Ma, I don't know who took this photo but this couldn't be used as evidence.” Clara tried to explain. That doesn't mean she was sleeping with Henry, I mean, she wasn't sleeping with him. “Slut, keep shut. Are you more concerned with who took the photo? Does your husband know that you have a job, Does he?” Annie cut her in. Alex then turned to Clara when Annie was saying all that but she began to shake her head. If she knew this would happen soon, she would have told him all this. Now, she doesn't even have an excuse. Elizabeth also had her plans. The reason for calling Clara to bring any

Clara slightly nodded her head. There was no way she could say no to Alex’s request.“Do you have anything to say?” Alex urged her.Clara didn't know which angle he was coming from. Did he mean he wanted to know what really happened or should she go ahead and apologise to him?“You were meeting Henry?” He began since she didn't know how to start.“Honestly, I wanted to tell you…” Clara tried to narrate to him.“You also worked for him?”She could feel the disappointment in his eyes but he should at least let her talk.“I am being extorted, I needed money, they kept extorting me.”“I gave you money.” Alex shot.“I know but they weren't enough. They kept asking for more.”“Did you tell me?” he asked again.Then Clara kept mute, she held her breath. She Knew Alex was telling the truth. She never told him but that was because she didn't want to bother him. He already gave her enough.“I am sorry.” Clara finally said. At first, she thought her reasons were valid but looking at it now, it's

When Alex came home that day, he didn't bother calling Clara to eat. He didn't even care about who was at the dining table with him.Though Annie was still in the house, she was able to act like the credit union and would still be disturbing Clara to pay up the money before they would publish a story on that.After thinking for a while, Clara knew she had no other option than to go to Alex for the money.“Hi.” She greeted him.“Hi.”But the response didn't affect her. She had prepared her mind for it and didn't expect him to still call her Sweet.A lot of things ran through Alex’s mind. Did she want to tell him about Henry or what?Then he asked her to proceed and say whatever she wanted to say.“Those people who are extorting from me are still disturbing me. I don't have any means of giving them the amount of money they require.”While she narrated it to him, she couldn't look at his face. So as she was talking, Alex had stood up and left but she continued to talk thinking he was aro
