CLARA

I scrambled up to my feet refusing Lucas's help and running to Fred instead. Fred hastened his steps towards me once I stepped out of the corner, worry evident on his features.

As soon as Lucas stepped out of the corner after me, Fred's steps faltered and with scrunched up brows, he regarded two of us with an unspoken expression on his face.

I raised my two hands in front of me, trying to walk faster and ignoring how much my bum hurt.

"It's nothing you should be worried about, we just had a chat." I immediately summoned a firm, confident tone to help keep him from causing a scene because Fred was literally the most irrational person I knew.

His eyes kept zeroing in on Lucas, though and I just swallowed, turning to see Lucas's face too. He had an amused expression on his face that made me want to slap a hand over my face and also slap him too while at it.

Journalists were everywhere, u really could not risk a scene on the very first day Fred introduced me to the public. I could

    LUCAS"Fuck, man. This shit was rigged. Call the chairman. This whole thing was fucking rigged. They kept the suspense so we would feel like they took their time to compile the votes but—"But I was already walking out of the sitting room where not only Nathan, but a couple of my board members sat, awaiting the result.My first stop was my office. Shoving the three security that stood guard there impatiently, I busted through the door and slammed it shut with a loud bang. I tried to calm myself when I was finally in, leaning back against the door. I had failed Ivan.I had fucking failed my brother. I could not start to imagine the jabs and emotional blackmail I would have to go through in the hands of my family because of this, once they had processed the news. Mom would be livid… especially now that she knew that Clara was behind Raphael Evergreen. She had offered me some illegal links which I had rebuffed to her face.She reminded me of them when they had announced the 0.5% margin.

    CLARA"I did not say it to him so he could judge you or anything like that, Clara. Can you listen to me?" Dad begged but I was done listening to him or any other person. I was so done with everything… with everyone.I simply made to close the door again, "Look dad, we can watch the results on different TVs. It's the same results, no need to be in the same house. I really want to be alone today, dad. Please.""Clara. I'm begging you. I just wanted him to stay away from you, I didn't mean any harm…"I sighed, "I know you didn't, dad… but can you let me process this? Alone?"After another couple of minutes trying to reason with me, he finally left. I watched his car drive off through the window, guilt eating at me. I should have just let him in and forgiven him, at least to make sure he was not more stressed than he already was because of the elections.I walked over to my phone by the dining. I picked it up and then ended up dropping it right back. He would be fine, I muttered to myself

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   53. TOO LATE TO CARE

    CLARAI was in the car heading to Lucas for dinner, and I had already fallen asleep like twice in the car. I had tried to play it cool the first time… I tried to get myself together… but I ended up falling asleep still. I was just so tired most of the time. This had to be some wicked form of dejàvu.How possible was it to have a heart transplant and still, the heart I was given had a hole in it? Just how much bad luck did a person need to accumulate to get to that level?And now, against my better judgement it what I would rather do on a normal day… I was going out with Lucas for lunch. Sometimes, the man just seemed to know the perfect time to comfort me or seek me out. Tonight, I could postpone my revenge a little. We could meet and like he said, we could both try to get our minds off the elections. I was also trying to not think about it and I needed his help for that… it was far better than sulking in my room until tomorrow.Before I had gotten out of the house, I crosschecked my

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   52. A HOLE??

    LUCAS"Mr Raphael Evergreen wants to see you, Sir." Simon said, sticking his head through the door of my office.I looked up from my work."Bring him in." I answered, shutting my laptop and checking my watch. I had a couple of minutes to talk.Raphael walked in a while later, dressed in a simple blue shirt and black pants. He had a hat on too, I guessed to spice up the look?I said nothing about his average choice of clothes, offering him a seat instead."Thank you, thank you." He told me, making himself comfortable on the seat across from me. I nodded grimly."A day before the results are announced. How are you feeling?" I got to asking at once. He smiled."Good. Surprisingly, I feel okay. My daughter has been giving me hope back to back." He said to me. "I can imagine. She seems very confident. Makes me wonder how much strings she has really pulled. She dragged you into this, after all." He frowned, "If you are suggesting that she is doing any shady stuff underground to get me to

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   51. WHAT AN INTERVIEW!

    CLARALucas arrived a few minutes after I did. And to be honest, I was in between excited and scared. I thought he would send a representative for something like this. How had he known dad was not coming? The interviewers didn't even know. I was just going to tell them that I was his representative once I was inside for the interview.Should I confront him about the text now? Something told me it was him. I wanted to ask him in person… but again, would Lucas threaten me like that?I decided to hold on first… I needed some proof before I could do anything.The last candidate was not coming. In his words, "The results have technically been announced, even if not fully. My heartfelt congratulations to those who are still in the game. It was a good race, we'll try again."Sit your ass down, Sir. To put it nicely, that man had only joined the election to cheer us on. He barely had followers. His words were weak, he was new to politics and barely had connections. It was a good thing he wa

    LUCAS"Fuck this shit. The results should have been called by now.. it's almost 1am. Everything in this state is just fucking messed up." I complained, seated on the edge of my couch.Nathan, my COO sat on the other end, looking as tense as I felt. He tried to assure me,"Everything will be fine, Lucas. I think if is taking this long because you and Raphael had a really close margin. I am sure it is nothing to worry about. You have a big crowd. The public trusts you." It used to seem like that. Despite the whispers and all, most people still trusted that I would do right by them. Until they didn't. Raphael and my ex, Clara, came along and gathered a handful of my fans. I used to be confident about taking over to an extent, now, I was just worried. I did not want to pull any illegal strings. I was not a good man, but this was one of the things I wanted to win over without having to bribe my way through. Something finally came up on the TV and we both straightened, our attention focu
