登入53"GET AWAY FROM HER" growled a fierce voice.Startled, we both turned to the door to see Williams at the doorway and behind him was Bruno.A dangerous look from William directed towards Lucian was seen across his face.With long strides he crossed the room, his hands stretched out to hold Lucian's shirt."William..." I uttered and the moment both men stood, a gasp left my lips.Lucian didn't flinch but instead straightened to his full height as he turned around to face William. Gone was the affectionate tender gaze on Lucian's face and now it was replaced by a cold look which washed over his face on seeing William."You have no right to be here. You've done enough damage. Get out before I make you leave" growled William, his hands still fisted on Lucian's collar.Lucian's composure didn't falter but his usual authority he always carried began to crawl back in as he took Williams hands pushing him aside."You're making a scene in a hospital and Clarissa doesn't need that" Lucian sai
Chapter 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 46A video that showed when I MERCILESSLY STABBED LUCIAN!!!It was at this moment, everything went down hill.My entire body went rigid, lungs felt flat, refusing to take in air. The room spun violently, like the walls closing In on me as scenes from that night constantly replaying in my h
Chapter 45"Let's get divorced Willam"The word hung in the air, heavy and lethal.Divorce.William stared at me with those orbs of his, the first aid kit in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.His lips parted to speak but no words left his mouth until finally."Divo... Divorce?" He stuttered
44"MUMMY LOOK DADDY IS BACK!"The words pierced through the quiet of the apartment like a physical blade, freezing the blood in my veins.Daddy is back.William.He stood tall staring back at me with those same eyes that seemed to sometimes pull me in.His eyes, sharp and calculated, soft and inte
43And where do you think you're going?" He asked."TO MY OFFICE NOW" He ordered.The heavy tension had already dispersed.And with Chloe gone, Lucian walked past me walking towards the elevator. No one needed to tell me that he wanted me to follow suite.The silence inside was suffocating, unnervi
