“Where is Lorraine?” Clarissa asked the moment she spotted one of her maids.

Her footsteps were hurried, her heels slamming against the tiled floor as she entered the living room.

The maid bowed slightly. “He’s sleeping upstairs, ma’am. Welcome home.”

Clarissa hummed as she brushed past the maid, climbing the stairs as she headed to the second floor where Lorraine’s bedroom was located.

She lived in a separate house from her dad and brothers. It was a nice portable apartment.

She wordlessly opened the bedroom door, but Lorraine wasn’t sleeping, he was sitting on his bed, staring back at her with his large brown eyes.

“Mommy, you’re back.” He called out.

Clarissa blinked back her tears as she stretched out a smile. “Yeah.” Her voice came out strained.

She stepped into the room fully, her shoulders tensed as she made her way to the bed.

She wiped her palm on her pants as she asked. “The maids said you were sleeping, why are you awake?” She tried to keep her voice even.

  • Ex-Husband, Beg Me!   Chapter 126.

    Scarlet stepped out of the restaurant where she had dined with Lilith, the wind brushed against her arms the moment she came out making her pull her coat tighter around herself. The dinner had gone rather well. Lilith was still under her control and that was a good thing..for now.But just as she turned the corner, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her eyes remained locked on the man standing few feets away from her.The man named Luke was standing by a parked car, leaning against it like he had all the time in the world, his eyes locked straight on her. He was tall and had that maddening calm on his face. But his eyes were sharp.Scarlet’s breath caught in her throat. She blinked, hoping it was her mind playing tricks on her. But no, he was still standing there in flesh, staring at her.She turned fast and began to walk, no, almost run, along the sidewalk, her heart pounding loudly in her ears.“Scarlet,” he called behind her, his voice was louder than her racing heart. “Don’t run.”

    Clarissa's eyes didn't leave Mrs Zara Brown from the beginning of the meeting till that moment, not even once. Mrs Brown, whom she always thought was her mother turned out to be just another stranger. She should have realized it sooner, she should have guessed that she was not a relative just from the way she was treated by everyone in the family. It was always there but she failed to figure it out.Clarissa continued to stare at the older woman, like she wanted to catch every flicker that crossed her face and every lie that would slip out of her mouth as if she were a lie detector.Mr Rhodes cleared his throat as he asked. "Mrs Brown, we didn't come here to fight. We came to understand what happened years ago because it doesn't resonate so well. I want to know why my daughter..." his voice wavered for the first time, "...was raised by you. How she ended up here, when she was never meant to be."Mrs Brown's hand trembled around her cup. She set it down slowly with trembling hands.

    "Aunt, you promised! Why do I still see her?? How come she's still living and breathing?!" Scarlet half-yelled from across the table, her eyes bloodshot as she gripped the edge of the table, staring intently at Lilith."I did what I was told," Lilith replied calmly, sipping from her americano. "Whatever happens next is none of my business."Scarlet looked amazed. "Oh really??" Her expression fell, replaced by a tight glare. "If you did a clean job, I wouldn't need to see Clarissa again! But now she's back and walking around like a flag. She...she...she now works with Lucas! Don't you see the severity of this matter??!" "What could possibly happen? Her telling on me? I'm not scared of that." Lilith set her cup down, then she folded her arms across her chest, giving the most relaxed vibe."I'm not even concerned about you either. Even if she rants on you or not, it's not my business. My business is that I want her thousands and hundreds of miles away from my man. I can't risk seeing he

    “Miss Rhodes?” Leta called out carefully, staring in suspicion. “Miss Rhodes.”Seeing that Clarissa was in some sort of trance, Leta dared tap her on the shoulder.Clarissa jolted in shock, her eyes rounded when she saw Leta standing close to her with a worried expression on her face.She had spaced out in the middle of a conversation with Leta, her assistant. “Ma’am, are you okay?” Leta inquired, taking a few steps back. Clarissa cleared her throat, trying to shake off the weird lump that had formed in her throat. “Yeah, yeah.” She rushed out, wiping her sweaty palm on her thighs. “I’m fine.”She adjusted herself while Leta went back to sit on one of the chairs opposite hers.Clarissa cleared her throat, trying to regain her nerves. “You were saying something earlier?” “Oh yes. I got a call from HR about a very disturbing case but she would love to talk to you about it personally.” Clarissa nodded. “I’ll only be chanced later in the day. She can come in then. I’ll keep you update

    Clarissa held his stare, not even blinking or trying to move. Her body was still, but her pulse betrayed her. It kept beating faster than a drum. She could feel his breath on her skin, making her body develop goosebumps. But she didn't give him the reaction he wanted. Instead, she arched one brow at him. "I didn't take you for someone who mixes business with... distractions."Lucas didn't back away. "I don't.""Then what is this?" she asked, voice cool.Lucas smirked as he pushed a loose strand of her hair behind her ear and she froze. "This is just me playing around and trying to mess with you.""Well, congratulations, you failed to mess with me." She squeezed out a tight smile but her heart? It shook. Who said the proximity didn't affect her?? She could feel her heart pounding against her chest and being loud in her ears."I noticed.." his eyes went down to her nipples again. "How about I change that?" She raised a brow. "How so?"His lips brushed against her earlobe as he whisp

    "Snooping around now, huh?" Lucas's voice came from behind. Clarissa jolted in shock, a gasp escaping her lips. Lucas stood close to the door, arms folded across his chest as he stared at her with furrowed brows.Clarissa thinned her lips, not sure what to say next. She awkwardly shifted away from the portraits, coming towards him. "Nice.." she trialed off, then cleared her throat. "Nice portraits." Lucas's gaze was on her as she came near, he didn't say a word to her until she stopped in front of him. "Which do you like more?" He asked softly, his eyes staring her down. Clarissa blinked. "Umm, they're all beautiful. I can't decide." "I got them a few years ago.." Lucas said. Clarissa remained mute afterwards, not sure what to say about that information.Lucas continued. "The very year you left me." Clarissa brought her gaze to him, then, she shook her head in denial but was still unable to say anything in her defense. Lilith was his aunt while she...she was just a lady who ca
