Second Chance For Him? 237. The Prince in the shadow
Keith's POVIt's hard to stay calm, to find comfort amidst the irritating buzz of conversation and the clinking of glasses. And to be honest, I can't keep up the act; just fifteen minutes into this gathering, and I'm already over it. I need to get back to my penthouse.Since my hospitalisation, I've been a ghost in the real world, and curiosity about my well-being is beginning to stir among those who know me. Rumours begin to spread, and my good name is threatened. My mom insisted that I should make a public appearance at least for a bit, just to clear things up.So here I am.The light from the flash is moving in my way, and I can feel my head rhythmically beating."Mr. Keith, will you mind to-""Get out of my way," I walked past the paparazzi. The man was nudged to the side, nearly losing his grip on the camera. The crowd of people waiting behind him stood there, jaws dropped in disbelief. This isn't how I usually present myself, but tonight, I honestly couldn't care less.I feel

Clara's POV"Is this ball like the ones we usually see in movies?" Layla's voice caught my attention. I glanced at the couch, where she was sitting, and Lily was helping her with her shoes. My daughter is wearing a beautiful, soft baby pink dress. James sent over all the essentials for this gathering—our outfits, shoes, and jewellery.And he was adamant that Layla and I wear them on. He wouldn't let me dress her in the clothes I brought back from New York. "Of course. It’s going to be a lot of fun. You'll meet a lot of people too." Lily said to her. "Who?" Layla tilted her head, a spark of curiosity shining in her bright blue eyes. “Who are they, Auntie?”Lily turned to me, her expression filled with concern, as if she were seeking my help to respond to my daughter's question. I just mentioned to Layla that we were heading to a ball, but I kept the details about what kind of gathering it was to myself. Now she's curious about what this ball is all about."Are they mommy's friends?
Second Chance For Him? 235. Accepting his invitation
Clara's POVA strange sensation washed over me as I stood in front of the massive closed door. The door creaked open, and there was Sarah, her smile lighting up the moment she spotted me. I've called her to tell her that I’d been in LA a few days back, yet she still couldn’t hold back her surprise when she saw me.Yes. After giving it some thought, I chose to fly to LA again and go to the gathering that James asked me to. Walking back into the house I had been away from for months felt strange. I hadn't lived in this house for very long, the house that the late Mr. George had passed down to me. Initially, I expected to feel out of place being back here, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I felt right at 'home.'"Welcome back, ma'am," Sarah said as I stepped in, holding Layla's hand.A different maid grabbed my suitcase from me and brought it up to my room on the second floor. Sarah led us into the living room. The arrangement of this room hasn't changed since my last visit.

Clara's POV"What? He wanted you to join him at his family gathering?" Lily's eyes went wide in surprise. The response was just as I anticipated.I can't be the only one who found James' request completely ridiculous. I didn't respond immediately when he showed up yesterday to ask for it. I needed some time to think it over, and James was alright with giving me three days to make my decision.The first person I reached out to was Lily. I was relieved that she was open to hearing my story and took the time to come here this morning."But what about his devilish new wife? That woman definitely won't hold back if she spots you and Layla at the gathering. I just hope she doesn't end up doing anything that might hurt you, Clara." Lily said.I sat quietly, my mind racing with thoughts. This question kept popping into my mind. I wasn't sure if Zoe would show up at the event after her divorce. But still, she might have gotten some information from Iris Morgan.Speaking of Iris, what woul

James' POVWatching my mother raise her hand to Clara filled me with a surge of anger.I thought it couldn't get any worse until I noticed how tightly Clara was clutching her face. She remained silent, offering no response at all. I let go of my mother's hand a bit too forcefully, and even Clara seemed taken aback.Her eyes grew wide, and the hand that had been shielding her face dropped, revealing the distinct red mark on her cheek. The place where my mother just slapped her a slap. Her eyes pleaded with me to stay silent, but rage had already consumed me.I pulled Clara closer; the instinct to shield her from my own mother was just overwhelming."Wife?" My mother raised an eyebrow, her voice completely lacking in guilt. "Did you really just call her wife, James? The woman who has turned you against your brother?""Clara didn't turn me against anyone." I began to get sick of my mother constantly saying that. She said as though Clara was to blame for what happened to Keith. As if he

Clara's POVWhen I stepped out of my bedroom, James was already in the living room, waiting for me. His fingers intertwined, and even though his face remained expressionless, I could see that guilt was starting to pull at his heart. Good sign. At least he still had some emotions, not entirely devoid of emotion as he tried to be."I'm ready," I said as I stood in front of him. We're going to the hospital to see Keith today. Keith was taken to the hospital due to some injuries he got from James's attack last night. Last night, when Keith, who was drunk, was trying to force himself onto me, James showed up right on cue. Their fight was relentless. I have to shout to get the people around me to help separate them.James stood from the sofa. "Let's go.""When we get there, I want you to say sorry to him. Don't say anything that might set him off. Just this once, can you be the one to back down?" I said as we stepped out of my apartment.We stepped into the elevator heading to the parking
