Easton stirred the ice in his glass, barely listening to the conversation rolling around the table. The restaurant was warm and lit, the kind of place meant for laughter and long meals. But he wasn't cut out for the stuff happening in the table.

He glanced out the window when he felt a piercing stare on him. Then he froze.

Clarissa was standing outside.

She wasn't moving, just standing near the glass outside, her eyes scanning the restaurant entrance like she was waiting for someone while also admiring the place.

It was her. Same woman he saw in that couple photos on social media. But there were undeniable changes in her—which includes the way she held herself. She stood there a little tense, and a little guarded.

Easton's heart thudded once, but it was really loud. He leaned slightly toward the glass, trying to see her face more clearly through the reflection.

Just then, a man appeared beside her. He looked tall and imposing. Walking in a Confident stride towards Clarissa, Easton did

    “Clarissa…” her name slipped out of his mouth before he could control it. Clarissa stood between Scarlet and her son, totally ignoring him. Her dark smoky eyes remained laced on Scarlet. “Mrs whomever you are, you owe my son an apology.” Her voice, so calm but demanding. Scarlet’s eyes widened, almost not believing what she’d heard. She couldn’t believe she was seeing Clarissa…Didn’t Lilith do a clean job? Why was she back?? And that too….with a son??“You—“ she couldn’t even form a complete sentence. Her skin burned under Clarissa’s intense gaze. It was as if death had reshaped her into this maniacal woman with a gaze that could cause one to stammer. “We’re waiting..” she added, not breaking her sight away from Scarlet.Lucas stepped in. “Clarissa…”“It’s Miss Rhodes, for you.” She finally turned to spare him a single lazy look. “Mister.” She sounded so distant, startling Lucas. “Miss Rhodes? How did…” “Why? You want to tell me what my name is now?” Her sarcasm rolled out swi

    Four Years Later..—Lucas's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the kids running wild in every direction, chased by one another. The sound of laughter mixed with the murmur of parents trying to keep control of their wards, and conversations overlapping in the open field.He didn't say a word, his hands were deep in the pockets of his black slacks, shoulders were tight against the collared black shirt he had on. Scarlet stood beside him with a bright smile on her face. Her hair was curled perfectly behind her. She looked like any happy woman attending a school function with her child and husband. Her dress clung to her body like she'd chosen it for a cocktail party, not a children's school event, and she kept glancing around to make sure someone was watching.On the other hand, Lucas hated being here. Not because of the event, the kids, the noise, or the heat...but because every time Scarlet leaned into him or placed her hand too casually on his arm, something in his stomach turned.

    “Where is he?” Lilith asked, her eyes piercing into Mrs Chen’s body,her brows were slightly joined in a frown. The older woman sighed tiredly. “In his bedroom.”“Since when?” She clutched her bag tightly, her eyes drifting off to the East wing that had suddenly worn a whole new vibe. It was cold, lonely, and lacked warmth. It seemed the whole house had stilled. No more laughter, just like before Clarissa came along. “He’s been indoors for three days now. He only comes out at night to grab carrots from the refrigerator and then, he goes back in.” Lilith frowned. She was dressed in all black. Black slacks, black top, and black purse that matched her black heels. “What about work?”“Justin comes by to hand him files that needs his attention. He works in his bedroom, makes calls there, and handles everything else in there.” Mrs Chen’s shoulder sank. “He’s been a shadow of himself since Clarissa vanished.” Lilith remained silent, something like a flicker crossed her eyes but they vani

    The Browns didn't expect anyone that morning. Not even a knock on the door. Since their liquidation, they lost everything including their textile company.The netizens hadn't spared them. Now, they ate from hand to mouth. They had moved out of their mansion that was seized by the banks, and they now rented an apartment close to the slum street because the rent was cheaper there.It was a chilly afternoon, but the loud bang that landed on their gate made Mrs Brown jump up from the worn-out sofa. The old TV kept playing a faded news channel but none of them were watching it."Who's that?" Mia asked from the dining table. She had just placed two cups of tea down. One for herself, the other for her mother. Brandon paused on his sketch work, his eyes darting around in panic."Maybe debt collectors again," Mrs Brown mumbled, folding her wrapper tighter across her chest.But it wasn't.The second bang came harder, then a voice followed. "Open the gate before I break it down!"Mia's eyes wid

    "Lucas, you really need to calm down or my sight starts to hurt," Kai said from across the living room.Lucas ran a hand through his hair, scattering it in the process. "How do I remain calm? It's been fifteen hours already." He turned to face Kai and Justin. "Still, no trace of Clarissa. As if...she's no longer on the surface."Justin sighed. "I just called the police for an update, the CCTV is clean. Nothing was found. Not even a sight of her leaving the house."Kai raised a brow. "So, she's probably somewhere in this house, hiding?"Justin shot Kai a glare. Lucas paced the living room. "You don't get it, do you?""I think so." Mrs Chen sluggishly entered, her eyes moving between the three men. She could sense the tension in the room. Everyone else has been in a frantic mood since. "Sir..." she whispered. Lucas spun. "Did you find her?"Mrs Chen shook her head. "No, sir." Her eyes drifted down, unable to see his face. How it would twist in frustration and hate.Instead, he burst

    "It's one thing to annoy me and it's another to behave stupidly," Lucas said with a calm look, his anger streaming beneath his voice. "I would hate to push you out of the way.""Why are you so offended? I'm not even touching you...yet." Scarlet whined."You think you are tough, huh?" Lucas shook his head. "You haven't been slapped by my fiancée, that's probably the reason you think it's safe trapping me in your house." "Oh please. I've seen her before.""Yet, not all of her. Clarissa will break you, so do yourself the favor and adjust. I need to go back home.""But you can't." A shallow smirk formed on her lips. "The weather forecast says there's a hurricane happening with no specific location. So it's advisable to stay at home.""I'd rather be anywhere but here. Move aside." Lucas shoved her, she staggered out of his way, her face contorted in anger. Lucas exited the living room, and headed towards his black car parked outside of Scarlet's apartment. Truly, it was raining heavily
