Xavier headed out in the morning without waiting to see Clara, he was glad she signed the papers already. He headed to the hotel where Kathrine was staying.
He arrived there in minutes. Immediately he stepped in, she rushed to him and threw her arms around him.
Xavier chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her and spun her around. He knew he was doing the right thing, Kathrine loves him as much as he loves her.
While they were still together, they were the talk of the city. Everyone was always rooting for them.
It was a shock to everyone seeing his marriage with Clara, the city talked about it for a very long time before it eventually died down when they found something else to talk about.
He never loved Clara, it's really a good thing he is letting her go.
He couldn't deny the fact that he felt a little pity for Clara, she is a good woman and the years of being married to her were peaceful.
He knows how much she loves him and always tries to be on his good side during the years of their marriage. He tried to love her back too but it was really hard for him because he was still in love with Kathrine and now she is back in his life.
She had to leave the city when he got married to Clara, she told him she couldn't stand him being married to someone else. That was the reason they broke up.
He was shocked when he saw her a month back, she told him she was visiting her parents for a while.
Everything happened so fast, they connected again and the next thing, she got pregnant. He informed his parents when she got pregnant, it was their idea and Kathrine’s idea to divorce Clara. They agreed she was useless after all.
Kathrine wanted him to get rid of Clara, she told him she won't be fully back into his life if he didn't divorce her. He didn't want that to happen so he listened and let Clara go.
“So, have you given her the divorce papers? Did she sign them?” She asked as she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her gently.
“Yes, I have given her.” He replied as he sat on the bed and she straddled him.
“And? Did she sign them?” She raised her brows.
“Hmm.” Xavier replied and nodded.
She smiled happily and giggled.
“That is amazing. So when is she moving out?”
“I told her to leave today. I gave her until later in the day.” Xavier replied and Kathrine's smile grew wider. She was so happy and he was glad she was. He hurt her in the past and he was ready to make things right.
It wasn't Kathrine’s idea for Clara to move out, it was Xavier’s. He wanted her around him always, if he wanted to make things right, he had to start from there.
“And I will be moving in today?”
“Of course. Enough of that, I missed you.” Xavier said. She was about to speak but he shut her up with a kiss.
Kathrine giggled as she reciprocated.
He spun her around and pinned her to the bed, he kissed her down to her neck.
He took off his shirt as he kissed her.
He took off Kathrine’s shirt too, he ran his hands on her body and she let out a moan. When it was about to get intense, Xavier’s phone rang snapping them out of their romance.
He groaned as Kathrine pulled away from him.
“I will just ignore it.” He said as he kissed her again.
The phone rang again.
“I think you should answer it.” Kathrine said, breathing heavily as she pushed him away slightly.
“Fuck.” He moaned as he picked up his phone and furrowed his brows seeing it was their butler.
Why the hell was he calling?
“What is it?” He asked immediately he picked up the call.
“Sir, it’s your wife. She passed out.” He said. He could hear the hint of fear in his voice.
Xavier found it odd, she was supposed to be getting ready to leave the house, was she up to something?
“Tell the chauffeur to take her to the hospital. I am busy.” He said and ended the call immediately.
“Who was that?” Kathrine asked as she wrapped her arms around him.
“No one.” Xavier replied. He doesn't care about anything that has to do with Clara anymore, she is not his wife anymore.
Just as they were about to continue with their romance, Xavier’s phone rang again.
“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Kathrine groaned as Xavier looked at the caller. It was his mother calling. Why was his mother calling?
“Mum, I am kind of busy right now.” He said as he picked up the call.
“You need to be at the hospital now.” She said.
“What? Why? What's wrong?” He asked. He was more confused than worried.
“Why do I have to be at the hospital?”
“Well, apparently your ex-wife seems to be putting on a drama. Dr. Griffo said it's really serious and you have to be there. I am on my way there too.” She said and ended the call.
Xavier was confused, Clara was fine before he left the house. Although he didn't see her in the morning, he knew if anything was wrong with her, the butler would have informed him.
“Is something wrong?” Kathrine asked.
“Not really. I just got a call that Clara is in the hospital and I need to be there. I don't know why though.”
“Oh, I will come with you then.” She replied and started to get dressed.
“What?” Xavier muttered.
“I am coming with you.”
“I don't think that is a good idea.”
“Why?” She asked, furrowing her brows.
“I just think it will be a little weird. You know? She is my ex-wife and… “
“I am coming with you Xavier and there is nothing you can do to stop me.”
NIGHTCarl, Xavier, Sarah, and the twins were seated in the living room talking about their birthdays. The twins were excited and looking forward to it, they were sure it would be different this time, as their mother was around.It would be the best birthday ever! The door to the living room suddenly opened revealing Clara, they were all surprised by her presence. “You can't just come here anytime you want, you are not welcome here.” Xavier said but she ignored him and headed towards his study.“I need to talk to you.” she yelled. Xavier sighed and shook his head.“Why isn't she welcomed here?” Kaylen asked his father.“Yeah, why isn't she welcomed here?” Kaylee also asked. Xavier ignored their questions and headed toward his study. Kaylee turned to Carl who was seated next to her and he smiled at her.“Why don't you like our mum?” Kaylee asked him and he chuckled.“Oh, I like Clara. I don't just trust her.” He replied.“Because she flipped you over her shoulder?” Kaylen teased an
“I think it is too early to go shopping, right?” Clara asked as she trailed behind Lucy in the baby store.“No.” Lucy replied without turning to her.“Why do I have to help then?” Clara asked and Lucy turned to her.“Because you offered to.”“I thought you wouldn't accept it, you don't like me.” Clara replied and Lucy nodded.“That is true but anything for my baby. Also, I was thinking if I hang out with you, I might have twins too.” She said and Clara rolled her eyes.“It doesn't work that way.”“I don't care.” Lucy replied and continued shopping.“Do you know who runs the organization now?” She asked out of the blue and Clara shook her head in response.“Not yet.”“Xavier said you are close.”“Yes.” “Do you have any idea who it might be?” “Yes.” Clara replied and Lucy turned to her.“Really? Who is it?” She asked, raising her brows.“None of your business.” Clara replied with a smile and she scoffed before looking away.They kept shopping in silence till Lucy broke it. “The twin'
“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
