“Well, you need a very long list.” Xavier replied and Bryan’s eyes widened.“What?” He asked and Kaylen smiled at him.“Ignore it.” He told him.“I know, the earlier you start the better, get on with it.” Clara replied.“What? Now?” He asked.“Yes, I will wait.” Clara replied and walked fully into the living room.“I know my way around, I once lived here before you kicked me out to die.” Clara yelled as she made her way into the kitchen. Xavier sighed and shook his head before walking towards the study. The twins chuckled and headed to the kitchen with Bryan.They met Clara going through the fridge with a smile.“Oh, I like that.” She said as she found a bowl of ice cream, she carried it out with a smile.She looked around and noticed there weren't so many maids in the house. “Why aren't there any maids here?” Clara asked as she dropped the bowl on the counter.“Dad got rid of a lot, he said we should be careful.” Kaylen replied and she nodded. She grabbed a little bowl and heade
THE NEXT DAY Clara slowly pulled a chair towards the man tied to a chair in the middle of the room. He had bruises all over and his face was swollen due to beating. He was the man her men caught last night, she gave the order to kill him in the morning if he didn't say anything that could help. Her men was about to kill him when she changed her mind at the last minute. She decided to question him herself before deciding what to do with him. She stopped when she got to him, she placed the chair properly in front of him then took a seat. She sighed and stared at the gun in her hand for a few seconds before looking up at him. As much pain as he was in, he managed to smirk and try to hide his weakness and fear.“You know why we are doing this, you know what I am about to ask so let's get on with this so everyone can go home happily.” Clara said and he chuckled.“Oh, Anastasia.” He muttered.“The best in the organization, the best person to get a job done, beautiful and brilliant.” H
Kaylen spent the day with Clara and went to different places with her. He followed her to her other warehouses and meetings. He had fun and he was glad he spent time with her. It was late already and Clara made sure Kaylen got home safely. She was also glad they spent the day together. Kaylen walked into the house, he met his father and sisters in the living room. “Where are you coming from?” Xavier asked with a stern look as he walked towards him. Kaylen raised his brows surprised and hurriedly checked the time on his phone to see if he passed his curfew.“I… I didn't pass my curfew.” He said.“That wasn't the question I asked you.” Xavier replied. “I was with Clara, I spent the day with her.” He answered.“And who did you tell about this?” “Kaylee, I texted her.” He lied knowing Kaylee would have his back. Xavier turned to Kaylee and she nodded at him.“Yes. Daddy. He told me.” Kaylee agreed and Xavier turned back to Kaylen.“Why did you go and see her?” Xavier asked and Kayl
DAYS LATER It's been days since Lucy and Carl’s engagement party. Mrs. Blackwell was discharged from the hospital after she got better in a few days, Xavier and Carl were trying to find out who poisoned her if it wasn't Clara. When they couldn't find anything, they both concluded that Clara did it. After that day at the hospital, Clara didn't show up and no one heard from her. Everything was back to normal and the twins were back to school too. Carl and Xavier were waiting and keeping their guards up in case Clara tried to make a move. ~The bell rang signifying the school had ended for the day, Kaylen stood up immediately and picked up his bag.He was about to walk out when Bryan stopped him.“Where are you heading to? We have practice.” He said.“Yeah, I have somewhere I need to be. Can you give Kaylee a ride home?” He asked and Bryan smiled. Kaylen frowned at him and his smile faded.“Sure, I will give her a ride home.” He replied. Kaylen raised his brow and took a step closer
Clara watched as Mrs. Blackwell was rushed out of the ballroom with everyone else. The few guests left in the room started to leave. In minutes, the ballroom was empty. She slowly sat at a table and relaxed in the seat. “That was a lot.” She muttered as she poured herself another glass. She exhaled heavily and took a sip. She checked the time on her phone and realized it had been over twenty minutes. “Should I go to the hospital too?” She asked out loud as she played with the glass in her hand. “I guess I should.” She said after thinking about it for a few seconds. She looked at the bottle of wine on the table and realized it was still halfway through. “After I finish this bottle.” She added with a smile. Clara walked into the hospital and walked to one of the nurses, she knew the hospital they were in. The Blackwells only use one hospital, the hospital they donate to every year, and built a private wing in it. “Excuse me, I am here to see Mrs. Blackwell. I am her daug
A WEEK LATER It's been a peaceful week in the city. No drama, no news, and everything has been going fine. The Blackwells too have been doing fine, Clara hasn't shown up for a week, and the last time anyone saw her was at Xavier’s warehouse. Kaylee and Kaylen have been doing fine, and Sarah has been doing well too. She now joins Mr. Blackwell at some meetings. Carl and Lucy have been preparing for their engagement party which will be in a few days. They don't want a crowd or too much attention so they didn't announce it. It was just a family thing with a few friends of Carl’s family and Mr. Blackwell. Xavier was busy preparing for anything that was about to come. He hasn't gotten a chance to talk with his father yet. He wasn't ready to have the conversation with his father, he was bothered he would find out things he didn't wish to know. ~The day of the engagement party came faster than it seemed, it was being held in the Blackwell’s mansion ballroom. Just like Lucy and Carl wa
“Is this because I flipped you over my shoulder in Vegas? You are still mad about it, right?” She asked with a smile. Carl glared at her before walking away from them. “You are on our side, right?” Kaylen asked and she turned to him.“Yes. Why wouldn't I be?” She asked.“You don't want to get revenge anymore, you just want to end this?” Kaylee asked.“I promise.” Clara replied with a smile. They nodded at her.“Can you leave now?” Xavier asked and she frowned.“No.”“How did you know we were going to get attacked?” Kaylee suddenly asked. “I have someone from the organization who is on my side. He informed me.” Clara replied and Kaylee nodded. “Hold on. I just thought about something. How well do you know Tokyo? You called her by a different name so you should know her well.” Kaylen asked Xavier.“Yes, Xavier. Tell them how you know her.” Clara added. Xavier glared at her before turning to his kids.“I dated her daughter.” He replied.“And?” Clara asked.“And killed her.” He replied
Kaylee ran down the hallway with Clara running behind her. The men ran after them too. Clara noticed a fire alarm and she turned it on, the alarm came on and the hallway got crowded in minutes which confused the men after them.“Is there really a fire?” Kaylee asked as Clara caught up with her and held her hand.“No, come on.” Clara replied and joined the crowd. They kept their head bowed as they walked.“Hold on, if they are after me, won't they be after Kaylen too?” Kaylee asked and Clara’s eyes widened. She forgot to check up on Kaylen.“Call him.” She ordered Kaylee and she did immediately. They took the stairs and rushed down.“He is not picking.” “Shit. Call Lucy and tell her to track his location.” Clara ordered.They were already close to the exit of the building. Kaylee dialed Lucy’s number and she picked up immediately.“Hi, Kaylee.” Lucy said happily.“Hmm, Aunt Lucy. I think Kaylen is in trouble, Clara needs you to get his location.” Kaylee said.“Fuck.” Lucy cursed an
The weekend was over and the kids were back to school, they arrived just like every other day and headed to class. Ever since Kaylee fought back her bullies, no one tried to bully her again. Allison and Nora tried to stay away from her.The school ended for the day, and Kaylee left early with her because she had a shoot. Sarah left with Beck to go hang out while Kaylen decided to hang out with one of the girls in his class.Kaylen decided to hang out with the girl before heading home, they went to a restaurant close to their school. As they had their meals and communicated, Kaylen’s phone rang. “Excuse me.” He said to the girl as he picked up his phone, it was a strange number calling. He furrowed his brows before answering the call.“Hello?” He called.“Kaylen.” He had a familiar voice reply.“Clara?” He called back.“Where the hell is Kaylee having her shoot?” Clara asked. Kaylen was confused a little. “What? Why are you asking?” Kaylen asked.“Answer my question Kaylen. Where
