CLARA

He left me alone after a few more minutes of poking for answers and and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding.

Across the room where he sat, Ella leaned into him, her fingers tracing slow circles on his chest. He barely regarded her, clearly too busy with his phone. I caught her eyes on me a couple of times and instead of the reaction I was sure she wanted to get from me, I was just plain irritated by her desperation.

"Yeah, I don't like her either." Someone whispered behind me.

I didn’t answer, just turned to her carefully. She smirked.

I was slightly taken aback by the way her skin radiated and how perfect she looked, but I gathered myself fast, "Hello, I'm Clara. I'm here for my father—"

"Dr. Raphael Evergreen. Yeah, I have heard of him and his countless degrees." She smiled, handing me her card. "I'm Kate. We should talk sometime."

"Absolutely," I responded, slipping the card into my clutch.

I met a couple other influential people whom my father knew, and I saved so

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   128. REGRETS NOW?

    CLARALucas left right after Zayn wore the ring on my finger, and I had no clue why, but hearing his car reverse out of my driveway did something bad to my chest.“You okay?” Zayn’s voice broke through, soft and close.“Yeah,” I nodded. “It’s just… is this real?”He smiled and brushed a thumb over my cheek. “Of course it is. I’m here now, and doing this for real.”I nodded again, but something about his excitement made the ache worse. My eyes darted to Nora, who was busy adjusting the flowers on the table like she didn’t feel the shift in my mood. Of course, she didn’t. For all I knew, she was simply happy for me.“Clara,” Zayn called, squeezing my hand. “Look at me.”I did.“Are you happy?”I hesitated. “Yes.”His smile widened, and he leaned in to kiss my forehead. “Then we don’t need anything else tonight. Just us.”“You guys look so cute together.” Nora said, cutting in. “I’ll be godmother to your kids! I called it first.”I laughed nervously. Yeah… kids.Zayn grinned, "That’s fin

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   127. SEALING FATE

    LUCAS I was almost shoved to the floor by Zayn who barreled into me with force, making me step aside a bit. My eyes were locked on Clara's scared, big brown ones as my chest squeezed. At first, when I had seen the huge writeup, I allowed myself to be excited for a minute alone, and then I stopped to think about the circumstances that got me here. She had called Zayn for help, not me. It only meant she was expecting Zayn—all this was for him. She had given her answer to him.. she was going to marry him. And it stung. She was dressed in that little to nothing silk dress and her hair in that playful bun, barefooted, for him. Her skin was greased adequately and I could smell her sweet, rosy scent from here. Her face was spotless, natural and beyond perfect. Would they go to the bedroom after this? I would fuck her after this. No, I would take her to her room and make love to her… properly thanking her for saying yes to an idiot like me. Maybe this was right. I did not deserv

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   126. SPELL DRAMA

    CLARA "Oh God, this was such a dumb idea." I slapped a hand over my face but Nora just stood there, laughing. I glared at her. "It’s not!" She threw her hands in the air and went about arranging the balloons for the umpteenth time. "This is a little dramatic, yeah, but not dumb. I mean, I can already see his face when he gets over here. The fear first, trying to know what's up with you and then the shock and then the joy." "Saying yes to Zayn is the right thing. Right?" I said again, just to make sure. Nora chuckled. "Cross my heart. Lucas is your ex. Your vomit. We don't go back to our vomit." She flashed me a smile, then returned back to arranging the setup, even if I thought everything was in place already. The living room looked like something out of a dream actually. I couldn’t lie, even with the nerves bouncing in my chest, I had to admit it was beautiful. Nora had done her thing! The balloons were mostly cream and blush, floating gently over the fireplace in a soft a

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   125. SKIP PLANS

    ZAYNI was just finishing up a long-ass appendix removal that shouldn’t have taken more than an hour when I noticed my phone buzzing nonstop on the metal tray beside me. It wasn’t supposed to be in the OR with me, but I’d broken that rule a long time ago. Surgeons who followed every rule were either dead or boring.The second I peeled my gloves off and reached for it, I felt my gut twist. There was two missed calls and one text from the assassin I had sent to Lucas's. For him to text me and call hours later, meant two things—Lucas was either dead, or he barely escaped death.I hoped it was the former. The text was an image which I opened at once.“What the hell…” I whispered, stepping back from the sink, staring hard at the screen. It was a finger. A literal, bloody, disconnected, freshly-cut-off finger.Not even cleaned up. Just… there. Sitting in someone’s palm like a damn trophy. You would know the person who did this was an unprofessional, ie, Lucas.No text underneath the messag

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   124. BAD FINGERS

    LUCASThe next few nights, I was heading to my basement to go beat the shit out of this guy.To explain; the motherfucker had tried to kill me. He walked into my house with the intention of shooting me dead, just like that. It was not in the least brave of him to be here. It was only quite stupid, and such a pity also, that he was going to lose at least one limb just like that.There was a kind of stillness that settled in a house after midnight, when even the ghosts had gone quiet and the walls forgot how to echo. That was when I preferred to do things like this—when the rest of the world had shut down, and the line between justice and revenge blurred into silence.I was not a killer, but hell, people in this world made me yearn to be one. To teach a few lessons.I walked down the basement steps slowly, not out of reluctance, but with measured calm. He was exactly where I left him—tied to a steel chair bolted to the floor, wrists restrained with thick leather straps, ankles cuffed ju

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   123. WISE WORDS

    CLARAI stared at the screen for a second after the call ended, still struggling to catch my breath somehow.I ran my fingers through my hair, took a long breath, and walked back to the bed—back to Zayn, who was now sitting up shirtless with that look on his face, that unreadable one that somehow still managed to say a hundred things at once.“Took your time,” he said, voice low and sharp. “Did lover boy enjoy the background music?”I blinked, confused for a second until I saw the smirk tug at his lips. “Seriously?”He leaned back on his elbows, eyes following me as I climbed onto the bed again. “You were breathless when you picked up, Clara. Anyone with half a brain would figure out why. I’m sure Lucas isn’t stupid.”“It wasn’t like that,” I muttered, dragging the blanket over my legs, suddenly cold.Zayn scoffed. “Oh? Then what was it like? You ran out to take his call like the world would end if you missed it—”“It’s late, I thought he needed something, Zayn.”“And you needed priva
