Mrs Chen stood at the far end of the dining hall, her calculating eyes peering at the couples eating in silence. She wore her usual blank look.

Only the faint noise from cutlery filled the room.

Clarissa kept her head down, slowly spooning the warm soup into her mouth. The room was quiet except for the soft clink of her spoon against the bowl. Lucas sat across from her, typing away on his phone, the contrast from the screen light up his face.

Time passed, but the silence was still hanging between them. Clarissa didn’t look up. She seemed lost in her own world, focused on her food like it was the only thing that mattered. Lucas, on the other hand, who was still holding his wine glass, finally set his phone aside. He leaned back a little, resting one arm on the table.

He glanced at her. His eyes stayed there for a moment longer than they should have. His brow pulled together, not too much, but enough to show something was on his mind. He somehow looked displeased.Clarissa didn’t notice

    Clarissa's lips curled into a sweet smile as she stared at the lone figure sitting outside the cafe, sipping from a large glass cup. Easton looked rather....miserable. Dressed in all black outfit with a baseball cap as if trying to hide his face from the public in fear of them noticing and coming over to curse him. Clarissa stepped out of the cab, paid the driver, and walked straight to the cafe, pretending to be just another random customer, stopping by to grab coffee. She was almost a few steps away when her phone began to vibrate, disrupting her plans. She grumbled as she fished out her phone from her bag. She glanced at Easton before turning around, her back turned to him as she answered the call. "Hey." "Hello, girl." 'Okay..' Clarissa sighed. The right person called at the wrong time. But she mustered up a forced smile. "Hey, Isabella." "Oh, you still remember my name." Isabella rushed out but the phone was snatched from her. Clarissa massaged her head. Alissa's voice ca

    "Boss, I think that's all we need to finally kick Mr Maddox out of the group. This makes it easier and swifter. We really do not need to go to extra lengths to kick him out of the side office now." Justin said from the other line, his voice was filled with a minimum amount of excitement as he reported.Lucas tapped his index finger on the desk, and the thudding sounds echoed in the study. "The posts have gone viral. Now is the time to strike while the news is still blowing. Have Mr Romero send a contract termination letter to Mr Maddox. Besides, keeping him after all those blown-up scandals wouldn't look good for us." "Will do that, Boss." Justin agreed without hesitation. Lucas ended the call and dropped the phone on his desk. He was certain that that little fiancée of his was behind all the stunts going viral online. 'Who would have thought she could be this sinister??' He wondered in his head. A small smile hitched on his face as he muttered under his breath. "Let's see how far

    "Clarissa, I understand that you're mad at me for whatever thing I've done to you but look at your mother...." Easton stepped forward, his brows joined as he lectured Clarissa. "She's asking for your forgiveness." Clarissa smiled coldly. Her eyes sparkled in hate as she scoffed loudly. "And who are you to lecture me??" Lucas stepped closer to her, his face had turned rigid as he stared at Easton. Pinning him down. Easton shifted in his standing position, his hands rolled into loose fists as he said. "I know you're upset—but this?? This is too far!" He threw Lucas a skeptical look before turning to face Clarissa again. "You really do not have to hook up with another man to get me jealous." Clarissa grimaced at his shamelessness. She felt bemused as she stared at him, watching him talk nonstop. "We can talk things out. Just leave him." Mia stepped forward and tugged at Easton's sleeve. "What are you saying??" She whispered, her voice was a little hard. Easton's gaze remained on

    “Are you ready??” Lucas asked softly, his eyes tender as he watched her. Clarissa stared out of the window, her eyes locked on the people in the funeral ground. All dressed in black. She sighed before turning to face Lucas. “Sure. I won’t linger.” She mouthed. Lucas nodded. “According to the info from Justin, the last rite will be performed in less than 30 minutes. We should join them soon.” Clarissa nodded, she didn’t say another word as she looked out of the window again. The funeral was held in a reserved cemetery where Granny Brown would be laid to rest. The priest was preaching, opening the ceremony. Clarissa and Lucas remained in the car, waiting for the moment to get out. Clarissa pushed her black sunglasses up a little, she gripped her black purse tightly, her anxiety rising higher by every passing second. A long moment of silence followed. Nobody said a word. They didn’t need to. “I think it’s time now,” Lucas said from behind her. Clarissa balled her fist and nodded

    “You have something to say to me??” Lucas asked, deadpan. The night shadow blurred his face a little. But his expression was tight as he stared at Charlie. Charlie smirked, shrugging nonchalantly. “Umm. Let’s say I’m surprised that you’re still alive and breathing.” Lucas raised a brow. “You did it.” Charlie smiled, not saying another word. His hands were tucked into his pants pocket as he stared at Lucas. Waiting for what he would do next. Lucas sighed, his eyes wandered the dark environment as he took a step near Charlie. Standing a foot away from him, Lucas finally placed his gaze on him. His face was blank as he ‘helped’ fix Charlie’s collar. “You know, uncle…” he began.Charlie’s jaw tightened. Lucas remained focused as he arranged Charlie’s collar. “You do the most insane stuff. Makes me wonder if you’ve not yet learnt your lesson.” He patted Charlie’s shoulders as if he were dusting off an invincible dirt. Charlie tensed a little. Lucas smiled warmly. “Now, I just think I

    “Good evening, grandma.” Clarissa rushed into the living room with a big smile on her face to hug Granny Reed whose arms were spread out for her.Clarissa was dressed in a long armless purple dress that clung to her body, accentuating her figure. There was a slit on the side, revealing her long toned legs. Lucas lazily followed behind with a gift box on his arm. His eyes weren’t on Clarissa and Granny who were hugging and having small talks. His eyes were on the group of people behind Granny Reed, staring at the scene. His face was blank but he grimaced inwardly. His uncle Charlie was there with his wife, Betty. Jefferson was in the dining area, using his phone—totally not involved in the Thanksgiving celebration. There was also Lisa and Liberty—Jefferson’s twin siblings. Lucas’s cousins too. A few of Granny Reed’s older brother’s family also came. It was crowded, making Lucas wish he could skip all this.“Come on in.” Granny Reed gestured to Lucas and Clarissa. Lucas stepped forw
