LUCAS

My hands wrapped around her throat, pulling her closer so our lips met, a growl forcing its way out of my chest at the same time.

Clara melted into my arms, though not completely because I could still feel her resistance in the way she responded to the kiss. I took what I could get.

In no time, I had lifted her legs off the ground and sat her ass on the table, deepening the kiss. My fingers crept to the waistband of her jeans and experimentally played with the buttons.

Either she was too carried away with the kiss to notice, or she let me. Whatever it was, I did not wait for her to change her mind.

I had opened the first three buttons before she grabbed my arm, biting my bottom lip hard to get me to stop. The metallic taste of blood exploded in my mouth at once. I snarled and grabbed her throat with my free hand, then bit back—just not as hard as she had bitten me. She winced, loosening her grip on my hand.

My fingers made their way into her panties and on grazing her shaved f

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   34. A CHOICE

    CLARA"He seemed really upset." I broke the silence when we were finally alone in the hallway.The vein in Lucas's temple pulsed and he exhaled through his nose, slow and controlled. His lips were pressed into a hard, thin line and when he finally spoke, his voice was low, "The kid is getting out of hand. I am a busy man, he keeps demanding too much and throwing tantrums. I literally give him everything and yet…" He trailed off, then ran a hand through his hair, his eyes worn and sad. I did not know how I felt about the way he bared his emotions to me. And why was I so touched?I had a vendetta against Lucas and every single one of his family. I should not feel this way. "You… uh…" I started, but I could not get any encouraging words out. He sighed, then turned around and started walking ahead."You do not have to pretend like you care. I know if it's left to you, you would burn down this place with Connie and me in it." He spoke while I trudged behind him.I rolled my eyes, mutter

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   33. WATCH IT, KID

    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   32. BUSINESS BETRAYALS

    LUCASShe continued coming over to teach Connie, unlike what I thought would happen. It was surprising and weird at the same time, but somehow I was not scared about it.Clara would never hurt Connie.She might be a new woman now, a far cry from the one I was used to, but she was still the same Clara.The way I thought of her was increasing by the second, it was crazy. I was at work now, trying to go through our recent losses, but somehow, she was still somewhere at the back of my mind.I had a frown on my face as I asked, "This constant withdrawal from partners is becoming a staple. Why does it keep happening, and most importantly, why does it seem like neither of you are doing anything to stop it from happening?"The marketing team sat around me on the conference table, and their head was the one who spoke, "Okay Sir… Um, it's true that the withdrawals have happened a couple of times already, but we have been trying to ward it off—""Which goes to say that I'm telling a lie when I s

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   31. RIVALS, DAD

    CLARAI had barely made it past the hallway before I heard heels clicking against the floor, towards me. I didn't need to turn back to know who it was.“Clara!” Ella yelled.I stopped, slowly turned, and then met her eyes. Her hair was a mess—like she'd been running—with her chest rising and falling. "What?"I asked, my voice flat.“You're such a fucking snake,” she spat. “You come back here pretending to be all composed and ‘changed,’ meanwhile you’re throwing yourself at Lucas like the desperate, washed-out slut you are.”I blinked. Once.Twice.Then I spun around again and continued to walk, already overstimulated with what had happened with Lucas in his room.Ella had the guts to drag me back to face her, "Don't walk away from me, you slut!""Get your hands off her." I heard Lucas's voice from behind her and for once, I was grateful for it. I had already pictured my hand smacking her across the face and leaving an everlasting mark on it. Good save."She's trying to manipulate you

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   30. SHE’S CLARA

    LUCASIt took every single bone in me not to pounce on her. I stood rooted to the spot, watched an expression of regret take over her features, and then she folded her arms around her chest."And what do you intend to achieve with this?" I asked through clenched teeth."Just a pictorial representation of the fact that you can watch me or have dirty thoughts in your head about me all you want, but you will never be able to touch me like you would anymore." She responded, half-smiling like she knew that had hit me exactly where it would hurt the most.I nodded, then turned around and walked to my closet, taking out a shirt and throwing it at her."Cover up. I was not planning on touching that body anyways." I said, then went to sit on the couch in my room, taking up the bottle on the small table.She frowned, simply holding the clothes to her body. "And what's wrong with my body? You said that like I repulse you. I always did, right? This was part of your many lies. You always found me

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   29. THE TEAR

    CLARAIt doesn't look like you are. I thought to myself, not saying it out loud.And then I did not speak again as Lucas carried me toward his room like I weighed nothing. My body was stiff in the chair, with my heart beating way too fast for someone who was pretending not to care. His scent filled my nostrils, almost dissolving a fraction of the rage I felt.I stared at his face—the face I used to love waking up next to.But he didn't look at me again after that apology. I didn't care. At least I wanted to believe that I didn't.When we reached his room, he kicked the door open and carried me in. The moment I saw the bed, every nerve in my body tensed and memories flooded my head.He set the chair down in the middle of the room and finally glanced at me. I could not get over that knowing look in his eyes.“This might hurt a little,” he murmured, crouching beside me.“Just get it over with,” I muttered back with a flat tone.I heard him sigh. Then he reached for the side of the cha

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   28. YET AGAIN…

    LUCAS"Clara?" I called out again, almost tripping over my own feet in a bid to reach them in time. "Fuck." I cussed under my breath when the first sight I saw was Connie stained with blood—face and arms. A drop even went on to stain the front of his shirt while I watched.I was by his side in a split second, not expecting him to point at Clara and accuse with a shaky voice,"It was her. She had never liked me and I don't know why." He burst out crying, causing me to turn to Clara who had a host of emotions all over her face in that moment. She shook her head no at once,"Lucas, no. That kid is such a liar, I can explain what happened to you. Let me explain—"But I cut her off, "No, no fuck that. Fuck that explanation and answer me this one thing Clara; did you do this? Be very honest.""I did… I don't… I can explain what happened Lucas! He was—" She tried to rush through an explanation but I had lost it already.My fist slammed against the table, causing both of them to jump. But I

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   27. PRANKSTER

    CLARAConnie had just been pretending to be a bit nice all this while. He was a terror to teach.I should have not been so surprised, given that his very first words to me when I walked into the lesson room which was set aside for us was,"I don't want this lesson. You should leave."I ignored him and went ahead with it. Connie has never been nice since the first day. He barely listened to me. He watched me sometimes like he was starting to remember who I was, and other times, he played a prank.These pranks were mostly harmless though. Sometimes, he would change the time on the clock (I started bringing a watch), or he would make me jump by interrupting the lesson with one of his squeaky toys, or he would catch a disgusting insect and let it chase me (that happened once, and would have been my last straw, but I just emailed Lucas about it and continued).The pay I was going to get from this was huge, and most importantly, I had to uncover a few things in his house. I was not going
