"Dad, it's bad. It's so bad." I walked up to where he sat on the bed, flopping on the space beside him.

When I noticed he said nothing, I turned to him.

"Dad?"

He had his eyes fixed up to the ceiling, totally ignoring me. Until finally, finally he sighed and turned to me. He smiled bitterly, turning to me. His eyes were a bit red. He had been crying?

"I don't know if I even want this anymore…" Dad started and I legit heard my heart shatter in pieces, but I simply swallowed and let him continue. He did, turning back to the ceiling,

"I was so close to calling Lucas and asking him of the ways we can switch this. The way I can step down and give this position back to him. I was close… but I decided to wait until I talked with you first. I never wanted to let you down like this but it is too much for me now.

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   81. HIS TO OWN

    CLARAHe did not take his eyes off me as the towel cleaned my body. For some reason, I could not take my eyes off him, too.I decided to ask the question my brain had been meaning to ask, "Be very honest. Do you think my dad is good enough to be a senator? Or do you think I just pushed him into something he isn't fit to be in?"He exhaled a sharp breath, "Love, trust me. I want to do a lot of thing with, and to you… none of which includes speaking about your father.""Too bad…" My breath hitched when he slowly caressed a nipple with the towel, looking every bit innocent when I glanced at him. I continued after taking a deep breath, "… too bad, I want to talk about dad now."He said nothing, but his expression had morphed into a frown while he wiped my skin gently, quietly. Without wrapping me up with the towel, Lucas took my hand, starting to lead me to the bed. I pushed his hand away, pouting,"I asked you a question. No sex until you answer."I tried to move back but he was faster.

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   80. A PLEASANT SURPRISE

    LUCASI had expected quite a number of things from Clara after almost being locked up in prison for murder, but definitely not this.I knew a lot was currently going through that pretty head of hers. She had just been accused of murder. She was covered in blood, and all over the news for a new scandal amidst the other ones she had connected to her. In this revenge plan, she was getting hurt the most. It seemed like everything was backfiring against her. I was getting my partners back slowly too, and Fred had called for a meeting. He wanted a truce. I was sure she knew nothing about that. I knew that if she found out about it, she would probably hide from me again, hate he all over again for messing with her revenge.I expected her to be really angry today. To punch me maybe, for being the very root of her issues. Instead of taking her anger out of me, she asked me to fuck her. Make her forget.I swore to bloody hell, I planned to do more than just making her forget. I planned to ruin

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   79. “DISTRACT ME.”

    CLARA"Get up and leave. You're lucky you got saved in time. Bloody murderer." That was what the warden said to me before letting me leave."Who came for me?"They had a strong evidence against me. They could have easily locked me up. Did Dad have that kind of affluence to get me out of here, considering his scandal that was turning literally everyone against him at the moment."Your dad." He answered and I just nodded, heading out. True to his words, when I stepped out of the station, I saw dad's car parked outside and he was standing right beside it. He still looked pale, and I wrapped my arms around him, whispering my thanks in his ear."Oh my baby… oh dear. What trauma you must have gone through in that place. I'm sorry you had to be here."But I was still so out of it. I was still so much in shock, I could not even fully process all I saw today. Was it strange that I needed Lucas right now? Like, I needed to be close to him for some reason… in my head, he was seeming to be my bes

    LUCAS"Raphael wants to see me." I confirmed from Simon in a statement. He nodded. "Did he say what for?" I sat back on my chair, watching him. "He did not. He just wants an appointment with you. And he asked to have a conversation with you over the phone to properly discuss the meeting." Simon said. I frowned."He can just book an appointment. Talk to you, figure out the best time we can talk. There is no need to have a phone call with me." I stated, then picked up my phone and went on my social media to check on the last post my handler had made about the Mayor and Bianca, and the reactions.I was met with something else instead. Clara's picture from the last event we had attended together was the first to pop up on a blog.The headline read;' "I DIDN'T DO IT!"—EMPLOYER, AND THE SENATOR’S DAUGHTER; CLARA WALSH, CAUGHT WITH A GUN AND HER GUARDS IN A POOL OF BLOOD. MURDERER? 'I swiped to the next media, sitting up with a start when I saw a video that showed the police dragging Cla

  • Beware Dear Ex, I’m Back For Revenge   76. ADVICE FROM MOMMY

    LUCASI drove behind my mother and when I got there, she left me waiting in the living room, disappearing inside the house with Connie.I checked my watch after over thirty minutes, getting up to my feet. She could tell me whatever she wanted to say over the phone. I was done with this. I was just on my way out when I heard her voice. I hadn’t even heard her walk down the stairs."Wow. You're leaving. Is that how much you really don't regard me?" She accused and I stopped in my tracks, slipping my hands into my pockets so she would not see my clenched fists and bring up a whole new issue out of it."I still have work, I don't have all day." I finally turned to her, holding her gaze. I really looked now, discovering that her eyes were a bit puffy, and she had not even bothered to cover it up. She never liked to be caught looking a mess, not even in front of her children. But today, her eyes were puffy and the color of her dress was mismatched—I noticed that at school. Her fingers wer
