View MoreClara's POV"I don’t understand why she chose to give them my number as the first point of contact. I think I'm the only one she can trust since her family isn't around.” He clarified. “Selena struggles with trauma and trust when it comes to new people after she faced multiple attempted murders in the past."I found myself nodding, signaling Keith to continue."Yesterday, I was focused on getting to the hospital quickly because I didn't want her to get hurt especially when she came all this way to see me. That's it, Clara. Her family always trusts me to protect her so If anything happens to her I'll live in guilt"Given their long-standing acquaintance and the fact that Selena's parents are business partners with Keith's parents, their relationship is quite close. After hearing that explanation, my doubts gradually faded away. Slowly replaced by a sense of understanding.“What was her condition like when you got there?” I asked. “Luckily, she’s okay. She has only some minor injuries
Clara's POV"Please, didn't you come here to get an explanation from me? So, how are you planning to get it if you're just going to walk away like this?" Keith asked, his hand still holding mine. "And how can I let you leave with that anxiety still weighing on your heart, Clara? While I'm pretty sure you wouldn't open your flat door if I decided to follow you."I stayed quiet, not really thinking he would hold me when he was clearly enjoying himself with Selena, his childhood friend. But the fact that he was willing and promised to explain yesterday earned my respect. Keith led me to the TV room, he invited me to sit for a while but I refused."Keith-" Selena called out to him once more, but she quickly fell quiet when he lifted his hand, gesturing for her to hold on. Selena's face fell, but she complied and kept quiet.That was the third time she attempted to catch his attention, in her previous attempt Keith simply brushed her off. She’s probably wondering about my relationship wit
Clara's POVI felt my heart quicken as I approached Keith's apartment’s door. I just wanted him to provide an answer and some clarification. If I asked politely, I’m sure he’d be willing to share it with me. Yes, I know Keith wasn't trying to hide anything maliciously. Perhaps he was just biding his time until he felt ready to share with me.I pulled out my phone to call him, but he didn't pick up. It was six PM, and he should have been home from work by now.Keith always mentioned that if I arrived and he wasn't around, he wanted me to hang out inside. He also handed me his spare key, allowing me to get into this place whenever I wanted.I guess I could just head in first and wait for him inside like he suggested. I unlocked his flat and gently pushed the door open. A haunting silence welcomed me, but something felt a bit strange. The light was switched on. And I noticed a flickering reflection on the wall in the TV room; it felt like there was someone present in there. I swallowed,
Clara's POVToday I headed to the restaurant after dropping Layla off at school even though my mood was putting up a bit of a fight. I was feeling down and just wanted to stay home, avoiding everyone. But there are responsibilities I need to take care of.The hours passed, and at least the business of work made me forget a little about the things that had been bothering my mind since yesterday.Sharon's final words just before I departed from Keith's villa. Whenever I think about it, it never fails to send shivers down my spine. How could I possibly be unaware of such a tragedy? Also, why is Keith keeping it from me? But every time my curiosity sparks, another reason comes up. Perhaps he's just trying to keep it under wraps and doesn't want to talk about it anymore. That incident must have really turned his life upside down.I tried to understand. But this curiosity is slowly killing me.As the door to my room swung open, I jumped in shock. But soon I let out a sigh of relief when
Clara's POVIris Morgan fixed her gaze on me, her expression suggesting I had completely lost my mind. For a fleeting moment, she remained silent, her lips barely twitching, a subtle sign that my words resonated within her."No! There's no way you're going to be" She trailed off."I didn't want to bring this up at such a moment honestly, I was hoping Keith would share it with you himself. I really want to clear up this misunderstanding."She continued to shake her head. She just smiled as if what I said was nothing but a joke."No! There's no way my son will propose and make you his wife." She said with full confidence.But I stayed unswayed. I trust Keith and the commitment that he showed one of which was by proposing to me, giving a clear status to our relationship. That's all I need. What others say just doesn't matter to me anymore."I'm his mom, and I know him better than anyone else, even you! And I know who the women he's loved are, and you aren't one of them!" She insisted.F
Clara's POVFor a moment I remained rooted to my spot, a sense of disappointment gradually settling in my heart. Why didn't Keith let me know what matters he had to solve that made him leave like that? I get that it was urgent and he was in a rush, but the way he acted made me feel pretty insignificant.I quickly shook my head 'Cut it out, Clara. What makes you think that way? It's not a big deal, you need to get it.' A voice whispered in my mind. So even though it's hard, I dismissed that thought. The voice was right, I don't want to make a fuss over something so insignificant."Mrs. Morgan-" A voice called out from behind me. I jumped in shock and quickly turned around. A middle-aged woman stood there, her expression shifting to guilt as she looked at me and immediately spoke up. "My apologies, I didn't intend to surprise you. I just want to make sure are you done with your breakfast. Because I’d like to clean them up.""Uh, yes. You may clean them up. Thank you." I answered.The w
Clara's POVThe next morning, I woke up with no memory of when we had drifted off the night before. Last night was amazing, times flew by without me even noticing. After dinner, we just chatted about anything and after that, Keith suggested we took a stroll around the villa's garden, and I couldn't say no to that. I'm not gonna pass up the chance to explore this lovely little spot.After taking a moment to scan the room and collect my thoughts, I finally pushed myself up. We spent the night in a room that had a direct view of the pool. When I woke up earlier, the room was already empty; Keith, who was supposed to be sleeping next to me, was gone.I opened the window and saw some housekeeper tidying up the garden. But when I look around the garden trying to find him, he's nowhere to be seen. He might have been in the kitchen or the living room right now. Before heading downstairs, I decided to head to the bathroom for a quick refreshing shower.I headed down the stairs as soon as I hea
Clara's POVI heard the sound when the door swung open and then I was guided onward and onward. As soon as we stepped into the open space, the fragrant scent of nature filled the air around me.“Have we arrived yet? I'm starting to feel impatient." I whispered, bringing my hand to the blindfold that was covering my eyes.The oppressive darkness is becoming increasingly intolerable. I felt so frustrated not being able to see anything at all while my other senses were picking up on the fact that we had arrived in a new place.The coolness of the night air brushed against my skin, and the softness of the grass under my flat shoes made it clear we were now in an outdoor space."Just five more steps," Keith murmured. His breath brushed against the back of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. I was so curious about where he was leading me. But I choose to fully put my trust in him for my safety. He wouldn't take me somewhere dangerous, would he?I counted within myself. And right on t
James' POVI held onto her arm tightly and pushed Zoe away until there was enough space between our bodies. Her audacity to touch me only fueled my already raging anger. My rage must be obvious on my face because now Zoe is looking at me with a pained expression.“James? Why are you pushing away your wife's touch? I miss you so much." She whispered, her eyes brimming with sadness as tears began to gather at the corners.The same eyes that have been my everything for years now make me feel nauseous when I look at them. Zoe is aware that she can easily win my sympathy because of how much I care for her, and right now, she's trying to take advantage of that.I still can't wrap my head around the fact that all these years, she used the same eyes and tears to fool me and my family. Stealing the gift my father gave to my mother, and then making someone else take the blame.I can't believe that all this time the woman I married was so wicked."What brings you here? Get out of here now." Hol
Clara's POV"Congratulations Mrs. Morgan, You're pregnant." The doctor said as she passed me my test result."Really?"I still struggle to wrap my head around it because everyone said that I was a barren woman. My hands trembled when read my test result. I gently ran my hand over my still-flat stomach, where James's baby is now living."Thank you, doctor."What a wonderful gift for our two-year marriage on our anniversary day. My husband’s return from his business trip is tonight. How will he react when I share the news with him? I can't wait.'Maybe James wouldn't hate me anymore and would come to love me once he know I will give him an heir.’I swung by the minimarket to pick up some cooking ingredients before heading home. I’m going to prepare James' favorite dish for dinner tonight; it’s going to be a memorable night for us both."Ma'am, you look so happy today. Would you share the reason with me?"Eda, one of the assistants in our home, asked as I was arranging the groceries in th...
