LOGINChapter 52"THE CHILD CLARISSA IS CARRYING ISN'T LUCIAN'S!"Mrs Lena stood frozen in place and for a long moment there was silence.She didn't know if she heard wrong as she asked."What did you just say?""It's the truth""Watch what you say, Chloe" snapped Mrs Lena glaring at Chloe."I'm telling the truth" Chloe replied, wiping away her tears which spilled down her cheeks."Clarissa is married. She's been living with another man named William for years. Why would she suddenly be carrying Lucian's child?"Mrs Lena simply scoffed not believing Chloe.Not that she didn't want to but Damon is clearly Lucian's. The resemblance was there and the child with Clarissa obviously is too."Do you have proof?"A flicker of hesitation crossed Chloe's face."I... I have information from a private investigator" she left going up the stairs towards her room where she grabbed the details that was given to her.Everything was slipping away from her. Right now she was trying every trick in the book. E
Chapter 51In the luxurious room of the studio sat Chloe, her fingers repeatedly went to tap on the glass table in front of her as she waited for her shoot which was in a few minutes.Her phone dinged with a notification which she simply ignored.It came again accompanied by rapid succession of alert that came in and when she picked up her phone, a woman stepped forward."Ma'am there's a problem""What's wrong?" Said Chloe her eyes still fixed on the phone."Your contract has been nullified" stated the lady making Chloe's gaze to snap towards her."What are you talking about?" Said Chloe her brows furrowed in confusion.Chloe was a well known A list model and fortunately for her, she had hit a major contract.Shortly after the manager stepped forward uttering the same words that the previous lady has earlier uttered."Chloe, I'm sorry, but we have strict orders. You need to vacate the premises. The agency has dropped you""You have to be kidding m..." Right when she was in the middle
Chapter 50"IF YOU WANT A VILLAIN ON YOUR FRONT PAGE TOMORROW MORNING... PUT ME" I heard him say.No, more correctly, the whole world heard him.Immediately after his announcement, the TV went blank as Bruno turned it off after the declaration was over. It's dark screen staring at me right in the face.The silence that enveloped the room was deafening.Apparently, Bruno and I was stunned by this sudden information and for a long time, neither of us spoke."He confessed" Bruno uttered, his voice breaking through the silence.My hands fisted against the hospital sheets as it's fabric crushed beneath my grip. "Clarissa" Bruno’s voice broke my quiet reverie.Finally my gaze shifted from the screen to Bruno who walked over to the side of the bed and on his face was a mix of disbelief and caution."Did you... did you know he was going to do that?""No. I had no idea" I uttered my voice coming out in a whisper."He revealed the truth and in doing so he ruined his own reputation" said Bruno
Chapter 49As silence enveloped the hospital room like a skin, I laid on the bed and from the open window, the sun sat there shining brightly into the room cause my eye lids to flutter against the piercing glare.Slowly but gently, it pulled open revealing my hazel eyes.Every muscle in my body felt as though it had been hit with a hammer but the sharp, throbbing ache in my left shoulder was the worst of it.The white ceiling came into view and not before long sounds from somewhere beside me was heard.It came first as a heavy scraping sound of metal was was quickly accompanied by hurried footsteps."Clarissa" Williams voiced called out to me.His figure was a blur at first but after a while I could clearly see him."What... What happened?" I asked trying to seat upright only for the sharp pain to shoot through my body forcing me back down.A loud gasp leaving my lips."Hey, hey. Easy now. Don't try to move yet"My head turned slowly towards him, winces wrinkled my forehead. Willia
Chapter 48"MA'AM CLARISSA WAS ATTACKED TODAY""What?!" Exclaimed Lucian, his eyes went wide on hearing this news."What did you just say?"The words left Lucian’s throat not as a question, but as a low, dangerous growl."What happened?" He asked."She was attached right outside the company's premises. A by stander had watched the incident and reported the situation. She’s been injured. There’s blood.Currently, she's on the way to the hospital" Jarry reported, his voice tight as he spoke.For a moment, everything's stilled.The air in the study room, already thin with tension, completely froze. Mark didn't dare breath and Jarry, he did dare utter another word.They guessed this was what they meant when they say the calm before the storm."What hospital?""City central hospital" A huge scowl formed over his forehead, a dagger like gaze was thrown Mark's way making him ultimately weak in the knee."Mark" Lucian said, his voice dropping to a terrifyingly calm whisper that was far worse
Chapter 47"YES. I DID IT" I uttered.My confession sliced through the air.The silence that followed my confession was heavy, suffocating, and absolute.William didn’t yell. He didn’t rage but Instead, he just stared at me, the color draining from his face until he looked like a ghost."What?... Wh... Why?" He stammered.Disbelief clouded his face."Why would you do something like that?"The desperate hope that had been lingering in his eyes fractured, replaced by a raw disappointment.This cut deeper than any of the venomous whispers from my coworkers."I was drowning okay? Lucian had put me through hell.I thought... I thought everyone was against me. I thought they had plotted to ruin me" I said my voice now turning to a whisper."I had thought that was the only way""Why didn't you tell me? You told me everything, your pain, your sadnesses. So why hide this? When the news broke this morning, I nearly broke a man's jaw for calling you a monster. And now...""I know you must be d
36Slap!The sound echoed round the walls. The impact making my face to turn to the side."You whore! How dare..." Cursed Chloe in a venomous tone but before she could complete her statement, I had turned to face her, my palm meeting her cheeks with twice the same amount of force.This action of mi
35"Damn it. This b*tch!"Cursed Chloe as she angrily stared at the pictures in front of her.There were close.Way too close.How long has Lucian been seeing her?Didn't he hate her?She could swear she has always known Lucian for hating Clarissa but what was happening?In the picture, Lucian coul
34That a part of me was scared of losing him.Or worse, that a part of me still had FEELINGS FOR HIM.No, impossible!!!I shook my head cancelling out the thought instantly.There was no way in hell that was possible...Just then, the lights of the energy room went off and shortly after, the doors
33"Lucian!!!" My voice tore through the air.The panic that set itself increased on seeing Lucian collapse to the floor.Quickly, my feet gave way. Hands going to touch him unsure of what to do but yell."Jarry" a sob escaped my lips. Voice croaked as I yelled out his name."Jarry come quick" I s
