CLARA

I resigned as soon as I got home… or at least, I tried to. Lucas contradicted it with our agreement before I started the lessons, reminding me of the time we had both agreed upon before any resignations and the consequences of resigning before time.

He ignored all my messages trying to reason with him and I showed up at his house right after my dad's campaign, tired to the bones.

"Do not stress me out today, Connie, I'm really so tired. Please, do your class work and stop acting like I'm not even here." I begged but Connie still sat there, playing with his pencil and totally ignoring me.

I resorted to just teaching him about other things that would not require class work. At a point, he cut me off,

"Are you pregnant? And without a husband?"

The first question had already thrown me off… the second was the icing on the cake. I blinked, once and then a second time.

"What? And why exactly would you even ask that?" I questioned. He shrugged.

"You look fat. They say pregnant women g

  • 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

    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

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   113. REDIRECTIONS

    LUCAS The renovations were finally complete. Simon cleared his throat beside me, making me look up from my phone where my fingers lingered over Clara's contact, wanting nothing more than to know how she was. I raised a brow at him when he said nothing after the first few seconds. He let out an awkward laugh then, speaking up, "Your mother called." I turned away from him with a sigh. He continued anyway, "She said she would kill herself if you end up giving the company back to Clara." Okay, what the fuck? My gaze shifted back to Simon, stunned. He shrugged, looking scared himself. "Actually, she said she would frame you up and that you know she is really good at that one. She wants you to beware of that, and according to her… not test her." He warned, after which he took some steps back whilst still keeping his eyes on me as if to lock his words in. He finally turned his back on me and walked away, and I sat back on my chair, lost in thought. The thing was, my mo

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   112. DELAYED REACTIONS

    CLARA"… and yes, it is also good in nutrients just so you know. They all are, I think that is common knowledge. You have to take enough of this…" Nora trailed off but I was barely listening.It was now four days since I left Lucas's house. According to dad—fuck, I was now calling someone dad—he called everyday. I really had no idea where dad stood with this man, to be honest. When I first told him what happened and how he deceived me that our wedding was still on when everything about us as a team had been called off almost four years ago. At first, dad was furious. He called Lucas while I cried and kept yelling at him. After that, though, they began to work together to take care of me. He took things from Lucas to support me. I knew this because Nora would not shut her mouth about it. And yes, Nora. It was weird that I had a female friend after years of trying to keep one. Due to my condition, it was hard for me to have a friend because of how tedious it was to be around me. I co
