I replied with disbelief.Jessica began laughing, and I was already getting infuriated. She had played me, played me in a way I didn't see coming. She just wanted me to spend time with her.

The taxi man drove off and after ten to six minutes we reached Jessica's house.

Chapter: All Over MeClara’s POVThe old woman seems to be very friendly, and I could only smile at all her words; I didn’t even know who she was.Derick, who was beside me, served the food on the table, and I kept wondering if there wasn’t any servant in the house that would do that. Another thing that was getting me very baffled was how I couldn’t see any servants around. The house was very massive, and with this luxury, it was expected to have a lot of servants.“Why aren’t you eating?” the old lady asked, and that was when I snapped out from my thoughts and began to eat.For the entire time, the boss didn’t say a word when he saw me, unlike him when he was used to meanly taunting words.“My name is Jenni, and I’m Lucas’s mother,” the old woman introduced herself.I became stunned. Why invite me to a dinner with his mother, and why was she acting so calm and friendly to me? Could he have told her what had happened, or could he have told her why he had kidnapped me? Because at this stage, this is clearl

Chapter: An Hour To DressClara POVTime flew by and I couldn't even tell what time it was at the moment.

If the ground gets a bit colder, it means it might be night, and when the coldness from the ground reduces, then it's afternoon.And that's how I kept track of time.Just like before, the door pushed open, but it wasn't the boss that was standing in front of it—it was Derick, the bouncer from the club.He didn't say anything; he was just standing in front of the door and staring at me. And then he began to take a step forward, and on reaching close to me, he brought out a key and unlocked the iron chain restraining my hands and legs.His huge, intimidating body stood before me, and with a deep voice, he instructed, "Stand.

Chapter: His Cruel NatureClara POVBelow me was a wet floor. Cold was cutting through my body like I was placed in a refrigerator, my legs were chained, my hands were chained as well, and the only light before me was from a bulb hanging from the ceiling. In this room there was no window, and not just that, the room was very small—like it was a prison. Though, that's exactly what I could see it as at the moment, and for the second time, I cried. What have I gotten myself into?"If you had listened to me and given me an answer, I wouldn't have made things hard for you. But as you have disobeyed me, I would have no choice than to do to you what I have prevented myself from doing to you the first day your boyfriend defrauded me."I was still in chains when he was speaking, and every breath I dragged into my lungs felt like needles poking me from the throat. I felt dry, couldn't even speak. Only God knows how long I have been chained here, and also from his words stating that "it took me long to wake up."Another
