โI owe you a lot, thank you so much. You just saved my life.โ Annie continued to feign so that the maid wouldnโt suspect anything.โI like you so much and I wish to be like you.โThe innocent maid showered Annie with praise.Annie had to add some extra bundles to the one she gave her previously, this was to prove to her that she would do more.The naive maid was happy, and this was why Annie used her. Back then when she stayed in Alexโs mansion, the maid admired her expensive way of living and saw Clara as old-fashioned.To cut the long convo short, they exchanged contact. Annie would be calling her and keeping in touch to see how well she was dealing with the whole thing. When the maid came inside, the chef noticed some cryptic movements from her and questioned her.โYou left the building for a long time, did something happen? Did you go to buy something?โโMind your business!โ The other maid replied and went into her luggage to keep the bundle notes she got from Annie.Whenever the

Immediately Alex got an answer from Clara. He walked away.Does she take me for a joke now? How could this woman look at me and lie to my face? Does she think all these are fun or what?Alex could not just concentrate in his bedroom. He saw it. The message and the call, so why did she deny it? Or answer like it was not a big deal.It would have been better if she said nothing than to accept or deny it. There was no way Henry could send stuff out of the blues if Clara wasnโt leading him on.Alex concluded by giving Clara the silent treatment. He would just leave her to do her thing until she decided to open up.Last time, they decided to always trust themselves and never doubt themselves, but Clara was making it very hard for him. However, he still gave her the benefit of the doubt.That night, they didnโt eat together. Alex ate first, ignoring and waiting for Clara to come around, while Clara ate much later when she was hungry.She made it easier for the maid to put the content again i

Clara was abandoned in the hospital while Elizabeth and Selene left. That way, they would be able to treat her and not hold anyone responsible.Even though Annie wasnโt going to like this kind of news, they had to tell her the truth.โAre you trying to say that you guys took her to the hospital? I suffered to have Clara in our custody.โ Annie yelled.However, Selene couldnโt take the rudeness that Annie lashed out on her mum anymore so she took the phone from her mother and warned Annie to stay away.โMiss Cooper or whatever your name is. We are grateful that you saved us, but please, stop treating us like we are non-living things.โโIf my mum can take it, I wouldn't, and yes. You can lock me up again if you wish.โ Selene said over the phone.โSelene.โ Elizabeth tried to call her to order.โMum please, I miss the old you, so donโt just say anything. Please.โโI miss the old you too,โ Elizabeth replied but Selene paid Zero attention.In the hospital, they could not attend to Clara if no

Selene couldnโt understand what was happening. She began running around the whole house.Was it what she was thinking? Or is it related to that of Clara?She couldnโt just think straight or think of anything meaningful, so she ran to meet her parents who were as surprised as she was.โMum, Dad, please save me. I donโt know what I did.โ She weeped, the memories of the last time they spent in the prison traumatized her and there was no way she wanted to go through something like that again.Mr. Roberts was tired of the whole family drama. But he canโt abandon his daughter at this point.โSelene, tell us, what did you do?โ Jackson questioned her daughter.But whenever she opened her mouth to speak, nothing was coming out of her mouth. She canโt make a single sound.As she was still scared of saying a word. The police broke into their house. They had a picture of Selene.โYou are under arrest for one failed murder and two successful murders.โShe quickly comprehended. It was what she was t

Soon, the news about Seleneโs case had spread around the whole city.Alex was in the office listening to the radio when the news came up. He immediately switched off his television.He didnโt want to hear anything relating to Henry and his deceitful ways. He had let him have Clara so he doesnโt need to be rubbed on his face every day about that.While some spread rumors without knowing the main story, others who remembered the story of the missing young man showed disgust towards Seleneโs behavior.Both couples have been fighting and self-blaming themselves for their daughter's behavior.While Jackson blamed his wife for spoiling Selene a lot, Elizabeth blamed him for being weak and not being able to say it then.It was so serious that it almost led to a physical fight, but Mr. Roberts, being a gentleman, left the house for Elizabeth.It was during those reflections that he began to miss Claraโs mother. She was always there for him and always stood by him no matter what.Even without e

Alex wouldnโt forgive himself if anything happened to his wife. He made a big mistake by asking Henry.After all, like Clara said, it was the present that mattered not the past. If Henry really knew a lot, he wouldnโt have followed him to the graveyard.So he began to go to all the places that they had been to together. He was determined to find her. While he searched, he kept calling her lines, but they werenโt connecting.Isabel, the maid who assisted Annie, was beginning to go down and down every day. She canโt take it anymore and at this stage, she might blow mad.She listened to everything that Henry and Alex conversed through the window. No one had seen Clara yet. Was it the effect of the drug she fed her with?When they find her, is she going to send both her and Annie to jail?She couldnโt even think of that as she used both her hands to cover her ears. It was better she didnโt work here any more than be the first to dent their reputation.Her father would always tell them that

Alex had just arrived at the hospital. He couldnโt believe his wife had been unwell and he wasnโt aware of it.The nurses mentioned unconsciousness. How long had she been unconscious? Well, these were all the answers he would get to find out at the hospital.When Alex arrived, Clara couldnโt recognize him. She was still unconscious and had been saying the same words.โSweet, itโs me. I didnโt abandon you. Iโm here.โ Alex said, but no matter what he said to her. She wasnโt acknowledging him.Then Alex began to check her phone. Right from the day she started acting strange, to that very day. He could believe that this was the handwork of Selene.Why was she keeping in touch with Selene? Clara had lots of questions to answer, but she had to get better first.Then the nurses told Alex how someone was feeding Clara with some memory-erase drugs but that was not what led to her condition.Some tests have been carried out on her and the results will soon be out.โMmmm.โWhile Alex prayed it w

Alex followed the doctor to his office. He was keen to know what had transpired and what brought about it. But the doctor started by congratulating him.โCongratulations. Your wife is two weeks pregnant.โ The doctor declared, projecting a handshake to him.โYou see, there is no cause for alarm and there is no need for you to be afraid. Your wife might have been poisoned, but luckily, it didnโt affect the baby.โHowever, Alexโs expression had not changed. He didnโt appear to be optimistic or pleased with the news. He kept looking around to see if there was any other person the doctor was speaking to, but he was the only one.โDoctor, are you sure of what you are saying? Are you misplacing her results for someone else? You need to check well. My wife canโt be pregnant.โ Alex cautioned the doctor.In other cases, men get excited with news like this. But in Alexโs case, he seemed to be so angry. Maybe they were not couples or something. The doctor thought.Whatever the cause may be, the do

Alex put a call to Andrew. He told him a wedding was happening today and he should start sending out cards to people. If possible, to all the guests invited yesterday.โAre you sure this would work out, let's do proper planning,โ Clara said, afraid it might turn out a flop.โToday is the day and we don't have a dress yet, even Sophie as the maid of honor doesn't.โ Clara expressed more worry.โHave you forgotten who your husband is? You don't have to worry. Everything will be ready in minutes. Letโs go home.โAlex managed to convince Clara that it was possible and the three left for Alexโs mansion to get prepared.โThere is an important person I would love to invite,โ Clara declared in the car.โAnd who's that?โโMy Dad.โWithout much questioning, Alex instructed Andrew to send an invite to Mr. Roberts too. The wedding was strictly on invitation.The wedding was already flying around the whole city. How CEO Alex canceled a wedding yesterday and is having another day.Elizabeth also ma

As Alex stepped out, he began to call Claraโs line but she wasn't picking up.He had called more than twenty times now and there was no answer. He knows this was too sudden and the only thing he can do is to send a message.Maybe if she received a text from him, it would give a clue of what the call was about.Alex composed a few messages, deeply apologizing and telling Clara how he loves and cares about her.โClara, your phone has been ringing for a while.โ Sophia, who was bothered tried to wake Clara, but this time, she was truly asleep.Sophia made a turn to head back to the living room, but when Claraโs phone rang again. She decided to see who it was.โAlex?โ Sophia mumbled to herself.Curious to know more, Sophia picked up the phone and read all that Alex said, she was so touched. She tried to wake Clara one more time but she was deep asleep.So the next time the phone rang, Sophia picked it up.โSweet, you need to forgive me. I will explain in person. Where are you?โ Alex asked,

Alex was speeding on the highway. He only needed to get to the location as fast as possible to stop whatever was going on there.His mind was occupied with thoughts of Clara. He was fine, he had been okay. Could it be that Clara never cheated?It was his baby! He got Clara pregnant. It was his Child. Clara never betrayed him. Why didn't it occur to him to run a test all along?He couldn't concentrate and drive well. Where would he start from? How was he going to apologize? Where would he even find Clara?But he knows the first step to take, which was to stop whatever marriage between him and Jane.While driving, Alex got out his result and stared at it one more time, this time he increased his acceleration.Janeโs parents were worried, yet they tried to be there for their daughter.After hearing that Jane was getting married to Alex, a relationship that failed years back for some unknown reason, which also contributed to their relocation, they took the nearest flight to New York.โCal

Itโs been three days since Clara started staying with Sophia. Life has been a bit fair.Sophia treated her so well that she was beginning to forget all she had been through. She paid zero attention to Alex and Janeโs wedding also.For someone who had just lost her baby, it was safe to say that Sophia was a wonderful friend.Mr. Roberts has been trying to contact his daughter too. When he heard about the wedding ceremony between Alex and Jane, he was shocked.No wonder Alex refused to further the case of his wife, what must have happened between him and Clara?So at that moment, he got out his phone and called Clara again. Surprisingly, it rang.โClara, where have you been? Are you well? What happenedโ Mr. Roberts asked at the same time.โDad?โ Clara questioned.Clara and her father are seated at a restaurant nearby. Mr. Jackson Roberts could not stop apologizing, telling her how he got Annie arrested and how he had divorced Elizabeth, how he believes his wife must have forgiven him al

Alex finally opened up to his mother in front of Jane after much confrontation. She was his mum and there was nothing more to hide.โWhy did you hide this from me? I am your mother, Alex. Imagine we did not have someone like Jane. What would have happened to our familyโs image?โ Mrs. Peters calmly questioned her son.Jane hadn't said a word, she was just so happy that everything was working in her favor. So she continued to act naive.โMrs. Peters, you don't have to blame Alex, I guess he didn't want you to be hurt.โ Jane feigned and Mrs. Peters replied to her.โAnd what about now? Do you know how hurt I am now?โโIโm sorry, mum. It's okay.โ Jane embraced Mrs. Peters and that calmed her down a bit.โSon, your father must not know of this. This should be between the three of us. Annie is out of the way and you have seen how slutty that girl you choose was. You have to marry Jane as soon as possible.โImmediately Mrs. Peters said the last word, Alex looked at his mum and she nodded at h

Mandy had thought about everything she wanted to carry out. Watching Clara take all the glory makes her sick.At first, she genuinely wanted to get close to Clara and learn some secrets, but now that she has the power to destroy her, she would!โI will be right back,โ Mandy sounded off to Clara. It was a less busy day so Mandy just left for the manager's office without Clara knowing why.Having everything planned out, she spent more than thirty minutes explaining things which got the manager hooked.โAre you sure about this?โ The manager asked, failing to believe all that was just said about Clara.โSir, you can find out for yourself if you wish to.โ Mandy guaranteed.โYou may leave now.โAfter Mandy left his office, she came back to Clara like nothing had happened.โWhat took you so long? Did something happen?โ Clara questioned genuinely but Mandy cunningly changed the discussion without Clara figuring it out.โToday is a bit boring.โโYeah, I guess because the evening just started.โ

Mrs. Peters didn't need any driver or escort to follow them around. She did the driving while Jane stayed beside her in the passenger's seat.Jane truly wondered what they were going to do and how Alex was going to react to this. โI'm sorry, Alex. I had to do this for us.โ Jane prayed silently in her heart.They arrived at Alexโs mansion and learned that he wasn't at home but at work. Mrs. Peters was prepared for wherever he might be, so they started heading to his office.In the office, the only person Alex practically spoke to was Andrew. He would listen to anyone speak, and acknowledge any information, but would never say a word unless it was Andrew.When Mrs. Peters and Jane arrived at the office, Jane wanted to stay behind, but Alexโs mum insisted she follow.Unfortunately, Alexโs secretary recognized Jane as the lady Alex warned her never to let in. But seeing her with Mrs. Peters, there was nothing she could do to stop her.She was not even able to notify Alex. Before she coul

Jane slightly nodded in affirmation. However, when Mrs. Peters asked her what sickness Alex had, she couldn't say a word.There was no way she would tell them that Alex was impotent, what if Alex ended up hating her the more?But Mrs. Peters rather surprised her. Alex was her son and her emotions were justified.โI order you to begin to speak now! What is wrong with my son? Tell me all you know right now!โ she roared and that truly scared Jane.Her desperation has put her in a tight corner. But No matter how long they hid it, Mrs. Peters is Alexโs mum and eventually, she would find out one day.โSpeak Jane!โ The order came again.Now, Since Jane was shooting her shot also. She would come off as emotional and also behave in all those traits they thought she never had.โMum, I and Alex had gone our separate ways then, but the truth was that I couldnโt move on. We were so tender to make the right choice and proffer solutions.โ Jane began off.Mrs. Peters was losing patience, this wasnโt

After Mrs Peters recognized it was Jane. She was elated, though she didnโt let that reflect in her voice.Soon, they already planned to meet up. Mrs. Peters invited Jane to come over to the house. It wasnโt her first time, it used to be a typical thing then.โOk, Mrs. Peters. I will just get prepared right away.โ Jane replied.โExpecting you soon,โ Mrs. Peters replied before ending the call. It was kind of off the way Jane was at her beck and call, but it was a good thing anyway.Back in those days, Mrs. Peters didnโt hate Jane, but she didnโt love her so much either. If she was to choose between Jane and Annie, she would go for Annie.Maybe because she can be able to control Annie and not Jane. Jane always stood out and tried not to impress them or seek their validation of her relationship with Alex.Although both Jane and Annie ticked the boxes and came from prestigious homes, Annie still displayed a little low self-esteem which made Mrs. Peters like her a lot.The call had disconnec
