ARSENIO'S POVAs soon as Clara said she didn't remember anything, I knew almost immediately that she was lying.I had no idea what her Mother told her but I had to act very fast and so after sorting out the discharge papers, I left the hospital back to the safe house where I kept Clara's alleged Father, Rafeal.“Are you here to let me go??” He asked as he glared at me.“On the contrary, I am here to offer you a deal.” I said.“A deal with the devil?? No thanks, I'll pass.” He said.“You don't have a choice but to do what I am about to ask and if you refuse, I know where your wife and kids live and I won't spare any of them.” I threatened.“What sort of deal is this???!!!”“A deal where you have no choice but to do as I have asked if you want your wife and kids to still remain alive.”“What is it???”“Clara's Mother has found Clara and I don't know what she told her about me but I noticed Clara's behavior has changed and she even lied to me pretending she had amnesia.”“Didn't I tell y
CLARA'S POV“Your Mother is not actually my ex wife but my biological older sister.” I got lost for a few seconds and when the words finally settled inside my head, I bursted into laughter like a maniac.“You know, I've heard a whole lot of bullshit since I left your house but this crowns it all.” I said.There was no way I was going to believe that the man whom I called Father for so many years was actually my uncle.“I know it sounds very weird but you just have to believe me Clara.”“I should believe that you are my uncle?? Oh please.”Arsenio on the other hand had a blank and unreadable expression on his face.“Your Mother Tiziana is my sister and she's older than me by just a few years…I was a bastard child of my Father and so no one inside and outside the family knew about it except our parents...the Nivera Family was a strict and prestigious family and we weren't allowed any freedom within or outside the house…while we were younger, your Mother wanted to explore the world and
CLARA'S POV“Ohhh, your wish is my command, baby girl.” Arsenio said.He cupped my face in his hands as he kissed me on my lips softy.The kiss felt so different and it was like our emotions were being poured into it.He sucked my lower lips as I involuntarily let out a moan while I closed my eyes and savored every bit of the kiss.After kissing me for a while, Arsenio detached his lips from mine and gazed intensely at me.“I won't be gentle with you today.” He said in almost a whisper.I nodded my head in approval as Arsenio slowly undressed me, leaving me in just my bra and panties.WARNING (mature content)Even though I knew he had seen me naked before, I still felt shy whenever he undressed me.“Can I undress you???” I asked.“Sure, baby girl.”I smiled as I carefully unbuttoned his shirt as I let it drop to the ground.I slowly traced my hands in Arsenio's chiseled abs as I bit my lips.After removing his shirt, I knelt down in front of him and unbuttoned his pants and also pulle
WRITER'S POV“Father, Father, look what I caught.” The little boy said as he stretched his hand and showed his Father the big spider he caught.“Oh my goodness!!! That's a dangerous spider.” The boy's Mother exclaimed loudly.Before the little boy could let go of the spider in his hand, it already stung him.“Ouch!!!!” The boy hissed as he looked at his hand.“Honey, let's take him to the hospital!!! He got stung by the spider!!” The little boy's Mother said with a worried look on his face.“No one is taking anybody to the hospital…he caught the spider with his own two hands and got stung and so, he would bear the consequences of his actions.” The boy's Father declared unapologetically.“Please I beg of you, if it doesn't get treated, it could get infected and he would die.”“He is a big boy and can handle a little pain.” The boy's Father said as he stood up and walked away.Two days passed by slowly and the little boy's condition grew worse.His hand became swollen and his fever so h
CLARA'S POV“Clara??!!!” Ma'am Irene called.“Yes ma'am, I am coming!!!” I yelled as I let go of what I was doing in the living room and went into the kitchen.“Please help me flip that pie over so it won't get burnt.” She said.“Okay ma'am.” I said.Ma'am Irene was busy in the kitchen making some pie and Italian sauce while I was in the living room cleaning it.It's been two days since Arsenio's disagreement on not ever wanting a child and he had successfully avoided me like a plague in two days.He is barely seen around the house and when he gets back home and sees me, he doesn't spare me any glance.He is currently missing from the house again and for some reasons, I was not happy about it.“Ma'am Irene, can I ask a question??” “Of course Clara, go ahead.”“What was Sir's Father like??? Were you opportuned to see him??? and also, why does he have an intense hatred for his Mother and why did she abandon him??”I knew I wasn't the smartest but I wasn't dumb enough to know that somet
CLARA'S POVI was both shocked and dumbfounded to see Arsenio's Mother standing in the kitchen with us.“Please, I didn't come here for trouble….I came because I need help in reconciling with my son Arsenio.” “You should have thought about that before you abandoned him in the first place, Adaline!!!! Please leave from here because if Arsenio should return home to see you, all hell would break loose.” Ma'am Irene said.“I know exactly what my son is capable of doing Irene,you don't need to lecture me and as I said, I came here because I need the help from you and Clara to reconcile with Arsenio.” “I am sorry but there is no help for you here…if you want to reconcile with your son, think hard about ways to do it and leave Clara and I out of your sick games.” I watched quietly as both ma'am Irene and Arsenio's Mother exchanged words and I could sense the frustration from them.“Please let's not get into any argument, I beg of you…. ma'am Adaline, if what I have heard is indeed true, t
ARSENIO'S POVI had some business to take care of with Sergio but I forgot an important document back at home and so I decided to go back to get it.As for Clara, I avoided her after our last conversation because I made a promise to myself that I would never have a child.I didn't want to bring anyone into this world who would suffer the same fate as I did and so it was best to remain childless.As soon as I got back home, I was about to climb the stairs to my room when I heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen.I didn't want to believe that the witch was here amidst my warnings and so I headed to the kitchen but stopped in my tracks when she said something about her not abandoning me as a child.At first, I didn't want to hear the bullshit she was going to spill but I decided to wait behind the kitchen door and hear her out before taking any necessary actions.After she narrated her story from the beginning to the end, I stood there dumbfounded as my blood boiled inside of me.
CLARA’S POVAfter Arsenio stormed back into his room as soon as his Mother left, I felt completely shattered.It was at that moment I realized that just when you think your story is bad, you would find out someone else's is worse.“Go, I'll be with you shortly…if possible try to cheer him up.”ma'am Irene said.“Okay ma'am.” I said as I headed towards Arsenio's room.As soon as I got closer, I suddenly heard some shattering sounds coming from his room.I increased the pace of my movement as I rushed over to the door and as soon as I twisted the doorknob, I realized he locked the door from within.“Arsenio, please open the door.” I said as I heard more shattering sounds.I kept on banging and screaming Arsenio's name in fear because I had no idea what was going on inside his room.It got to a point where I had to inform ma'am Irene but nothing changed as Arsenio refused to open the door.A whole day went by so quickly and Arsenio didn't respond to me or ma'am Irene.She called him on hi
ARSENIO'S POV Isabella kept on screaming and thrashing as I took her into one of the guest rooms in the house.I threw her roughly in the bed and locked the door while I stalked towards her like a predator.“Wh.. what are you doing Arsenio??" She asked as she stuttered.I could see a tiny hint of fear in her eyes as she moved backwards slowly from the bed.“Why?? Can't I play with you?? This is what you want right??" I asked in a dark low tone."Wh.. what?? No no…I..I.. don't know what you are talking about??" I jumped on the bed as Isabella screamed sharply.“You know we are the only people in this apartment and as a matter of fact, a foreign country and if I kill you here, no one will ever find out about it..not even Sergio." “Y..you.. can't kill me." “Is that a statement or a question because you don't sound confident about it." I said with a smirk."Okay I won't bug you again…I promise to stay off your path until whenever." “It's too late for that princess." I said as I brou
ARSENIO'S POV "Go on a date with me.” I said."Mr??..”"Just call me Arsenio.” I said."Me Arsenio, let go of my hand.”I slowly released her hand from mine as I patiently waited for an answer."Why??” She asked."Why what??”"Why do you want me to go on a date with you??”"Because I like you.” I said."You just met me yesterday for the first time and you like me?? Please I beg of you Mr Arsenio.. I've been working quietly here for so long and have successfully had a peaceful time so please hand over my phone and be on your way.”“If you don't agree to go on a date with me, I will keep your phone to myself and I will probably send messages to every contact on your phone telling them that you are mine." "You have actually gone mad!! I think it's time I called the cops on you because this is getting way out of hand.” "Just agree to one date and all of these will be over.” "I think you have overstayed your welcome here Mr…it's time for you to leave!!” Princess Sophia said as he walke
ARSENIO'S POV I heard a soft knock at the door as I squinted my eyes open.This had to be the best sleep I have had in years.“Who??" “Boss, it's Sergio." “Come in.” I said.Sergio twisted the door knob and opened it and then walked in."Where were you??" “I got an emergency call from my sister here and I apologize that I couldn't let you know before leaving.”"Oh I totally forgot your sister lives in the US with her husband..how is she??” I asked.“Honestly boss..not good at all..I just found out she has been in an abusive marriage with her husband and has kept it bottled up for years..she only told me about it yesterday when she found out I was in the country and coincidentally, her husband also got her killer last night.""What?!!” I exclaimed in anger."Yes boss, that is what happened." “Have you handled the bastard's ass or do you need me to handle it for you??" I asked."It's been handled, boss...the bastard will definitely has learnt his lesson and has realized he messed w
ARSENIO'S POV “That's the problem Arsenio…Sergio left the house a while ago.” Isabella said.“Without my consent??!!" I yelled in anger as I picked up my phone and dialed Sergio's number.Sergio didn't pick up my call and when I dialed it the second time, it was unreachable.“Fuck!!" I cursed out loud.“Well, should I call this fate??" Isabella said with a smile on her face.“Not another fucking word out of you!!" “I really need those lady items Arsenio!! Unless you want me bleeding all over your floor." “Shut up Isabella!!" I knew at that point that I had no choice but to go out with Isabella to get what she wanted because it was somewhat my fault that she didn't bring anything with her.“Let's go." I said as I walked outside and entered the car while Isabella got in also.Suddenly, Clara's phone started ringing again and when I checked the Caller ID, I saw the number saved as “cutie”.I tightened my fist on the steering while gazing intensely at the number without picking it up.
ARSENIO'S POV “If I allow you to drop me off sir, you have to promise never to show your face again.” “What??" “Yes sir..I don't know who you are and it seems you have me mistaken for someone else which I have clearly explained that I am not her….so this is clearly stalking and trust me when I say that if I report you to the necessary authorities here, you could rot in jail.” Clara said as I smiled softly in amazement.I couldn't believe that the person I was standing with was Clara because the personalities differ so much but I knew deep down it was still my Clara.“Okay." I said as I continued smiling.“Okay what??? Why are you smiling?? Did I say something funny??" “Okay I agree to your terms…I will drop you off and I won't show my face to you again.” I said."Thank you." She said.“Let me walk you to the car." I said as she nodded her head in approval.Luckily, I told Sergio to go back home as I was going to drink myself.As soon as we got to where my car was packed, I opened
ARSENIO’S POV“Welcome sir, How may I help you??” Clara said.I gazed intensely at her for a while and she was gazing back at me with a confused expression on my face.“Sir, how may I help you?? Do you want something??” She asked again.“Clara??” I called.She looked around in confusion as soon as I called her name.“Who sir??" She asked with a confused expression on her face.“Clara, drop the act!! I know it's you.” I bit out.“My name is Prisca sir…and if you don't want anything, please kindly move so I can attend to others.” She said.At that point, I was as confused as hell because I didn't know if she was pretending not to know who I was or she was actually the wrong person and not my Clara.“Sir?? Can you hear me??” She said as she waved her hand at me.I looked backwards and could see people waiting to be attended to by her and so I muttered an apology and moved to the side.I watched as she attended to each and everyone of them with a smile on her face and she was completely d
ARSENIO'S POV“Irene you don't need to say anything to her…And as for you Isabella, I have told Sergio to get your plane ticket…let's see if you have the Audacity to say no tomorrow.”“I also have a right to say yes or no, Arsenio….I understand that you paid heftily for me twice but that doesn't mean I don't have a right to my own decisions.“The right to your decisions flew off the window the moment I paid that amount of money for you again!! What? You think I pick my money from trees?? Just because I am always ready to pay whenever you are in trouble doesn't mean I get my money easily!! I let you off the first time Isabella and I am not!! I repeat, I am not letting you off again!! Get out of my room!!”“Arsenio you…”“Irene, fai uscire questa ragazza dalla mia stanza (Irene, get this girl out of my room)” I bit out.“Isabella, I thought I asked you to stay off this off earlier on??” Irene asked Isabella as she walked closer to her.“But Irene, I don't seem to understand why….” Isabe
ARSENIO'S POV“Where is your Clara??” Isabella said as I sent her a deadly glare.“I thought I asked you to get the hell out of here??!!”“What has actually got your panties in a twist, Arsenio?? You spoke to Irene in a calm voice and whenever I ask you a question, you yell at me?? What exactly have I done??”“Isn’t it so obvious that I don’t want you here Isabella??”“Then why pay money to set me free?? You should have left me there!!” Isabella bit out.“What did you just say to me??” I asked.She was the one who pleaded with me to save her and after spending my money to do that, she says I shouldn’t have paid the money for her.“Arsenio, I am sorry…I didn’t mean what I just said…it came out of a place of frustration.”“Irene??!!” I yelled as Isabella gasped in shock.A few minutes later, Irene came running into the room.“What is it Arsenio?? I thought you asked me to get you something to eat??”“Get Isabella out of my sight before I kill her with my bare hands.” “I am still right
ARSENIO’S POVAs soon as I gave Isabella the instructions, I headed upstairs to my room as I sat on the couch.I stood up and poured myself a shot of whiskey as I opened my laptop to access what Ricardo sent for me a while back.Even though it was hopeless because I knew it couldn’t be Clara, I still opened it to give myself the benefit of doubt.As soon as I opened the files and accessed the pictures, I was about to take another shot of whiskey when I suddenly stopped halfway.I checked the pictures over and over again as it was so clear and when I zoomed into the pictures, the person was the exact replica of Clara but the finer and more mature version of her.“This can’t be.” I said to myself as I dropped the glass on my hands and accessed more of the pictures.It was my Clara and for the first time in 5 years I didn’t know how to react to what I saw.I looked at the pictures over and over again and I still couldn’t believe my eyes.I picked up my phone and dialed Ricardo’s number a
