LUCAS

"The doctor is inside already." Raymond told me when I walked inside. I only nodded to the information. Then asked,

"And Clara? Did she leave yet?" I dreaded his answer being a yes, but thankfully he shook his head no.

I hastened my steps towards Connie's room, faltering a bit when I met her outside the room.

Clara's eyes lit up on seeing me and fuck, I wanted that more often.. for the right reasons.

Her top was tight, way too tight for me to take my eyes off the upper part of her body in record time. She wore baggy pants with it, then wrapped a headband around her head to keep her hair off her face.

She looked so young like that, had me giddy for some reason.

I didn't notice her walk up to me,

"He just… he just started burning up even if he looked a bit weak when I first entered, I did not think that it was anything that serious. You need to go in there and see him." She implored, her head tilted up so she could stare at my face.

I sucked in a breath,

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   119. BLACKMAIL BACKFIRES

    CLARAI showed up at Lucas's office days later, every single memory finally intact. The doctor said it was one of the quickest recoveries. For me? I just knew it was because my body knew we had a battle to fight and I needed my full capacity for it. Lucas was not expecting me. I did not have the time to wait for an appointment with him. I needed more action and less drawing things out. Less talking, less planning, more action. I was tracking Fred down with several private investigators. I got some people working to bring him to me too, I needed too teach him a lesson he would not be forgetting quick.It took me getting amnesia to finally realize all the things I should have done quicker… all the action I could taken faster and all the red flags I should have seen quicker. But now was not the time to lay blames on myself. Now was the time to get these plans sped up.I went up to the receptionist and flashed a big smile at her, but my smile dissipated as quickly as it came. "Is Lucas

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   118. HER BRO IN LAW

    LUCASI stepped into the hospital, the icy air hitting my face like it knew exactly who I was and why I had come. The place smelled of antiseptic and depression as well.My shoes clicked sharply against the marble floor as I walked up to the front desk, not sparing a glance at the old man with the wheezing cough to my right or the weeping woman hugging her child on the waiting bench. I had one purpose.The young nurse at the desk lifted her eyes to me, blinked twice. Recognition sank in almost immediately. Of course, they always knew.I leaned on the counter just enough to make her nervous. “Ella Grayson. What ward?”Her throat bobbed. “Uh—sir, I need to confirm. Are you family?”“Brother-in-law,” I replied coolly. “And I don’t have time for red tape.”She stared at me for a second longer, then glanced at her screen. Her hands were shaky now. Probably wondering if the rumors were true—that I was just as dangerous in person as the headlines made me seem.“She’s in Ward C15. Fourth floo

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   117. BIT BY BIT…

    CLARAThe nightmares had become a routine. One week of waking up breathless, confused, sweaty. Some nights, I screamed myself awake. Other nights, I just stared at the ceiling for hours, trying to piece everything together like a puzzle someone scrambled on purpose.Zayn started sleeping over, two nights in a row. The first night was calm, I didn’t even stir… actually, he told me I clung to him the whole time like I was afraid he’d disappear. I didn’t remember that part.The second night though? I thrashed in his arms. Kicked, mumbled something he couldn’t make out, and woke up crying with different names on my lips. He said I looked terrified, and I felt it too.How could the doctor tell me this was all normal?Now, a week later, everything was starting to come together. Not all at once—more like fog clearing in patches. At first, I pushed it aside. I told myself I was imagining things. That the betrayal I was recalling was just some twisted dream cooked up by stress and trauma. But

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   116. ZAYN’S MIND PEEK

    ZAYN"I'm sorry you met him here, really. It was nothing I swear." Clara assured me for the umpteenth time. I sighed,"It's okay, goddess. I'll be fine." I told her and her bottom lip jutted out in a pout. "Which means you're not fine right now?" She questioned, her doe eyes rounder and inquisitive. I shrugged, then paused for a second with my eyes searching hers. I decided to snatch this opportunity with both hands."I could be." She looked up from the table she was setting up, she had some snacks on there and was pouring out fresh juice too. Clara dropped the jug containing the fruit juice back on the table, urging me to go on,"Mmhmm?""For that, you need to finish pouring the drinks and come a little closer." At first, she looked like she was still confused, but then she gasped quietly and I could see the blush creeping to her cheeks.At first, this thing with Clara was simply showing Andy how to get a woman. At first, Clara pushed me away as well. She wanted nothing to do with

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   115. DESERVES RIGHT

    LUCASJust the minute she dropped off my hold and opened her mouth to probably talk about how this was a mistake and I should be on my merry way, a knock resounded on the door."Oh shit." Clara cussed, wiping her hand with the back of her hand and straightening her shorts even more. She ran to the shelf nearby and took an air freshener, releasing it in the air."Dad?" She called out with uncertainty. "No, it's me Zayn. Busy?" His voice sounded tight. I felt good knowing that he had definitely seen my car outside, and it did not help that the door was locked. I would lose my shit too."Oh fuck." Clara cussed again, giving herself a quick once over before heading to the door. There was a frown on my face as I called out to her,"I would not open the door dressed like that if I were you, Clara."Also because I did not want Zayn seeing her like that.She ignored me, unlocking the door and pulling it open afterwards. I stood where I was, watching her flash him her biggest smile but his ey

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   114. IRRESISTIBLE TOUCHES

    CLARAThat seemed to have come out of nowhere, but the fire in his eyes was not just from… nowhere.I swallowed, finding my voice again, "Well, that ship sailed a long time ago. Now leave, please. We cannot let Zayn find you here."He said nothing for the first few seconds, moving closer. My guards straightened, and he glared at them before speaking, "I just need a few minutes. We have to talk. It's about the company, moving forward. I know you have not recollected your memories but we can still go through some details now if you'd like."That piqued my interest actually. Fred had betrayed me and sold the company that was supposed to be owned by the both of us… some kind of partnership fraud that I could not prove, still. Lucas was the buyer, and his he wanted to discuss.I should let him in. He said he still has feelings for me, maybe we could come to an agreement. I bit down on my bottom lip as I pulled the door open wider, ushering him in.He nodded once, then started towards me, t
