CLARA'S POV “Then let me help you.”“With all due respect ma'am..I don't need your help…I don't need anyone's help..I just want to go.”"Where are you going?? Do you have any family to go to??” She asked."My uncle and his wife stays here in Italy…I'll go back to them and live my miserable life than go back to your son or accept any of your help.”"The last I heard of Rafael is that he got involved with some shady business deals and was killed and his wife and kids had no move away from Italy." “What??!!! Oh goodness!!" I exclaimed as I got weak to my knees.I knew I never liked Rafael for treating me the way he did but death was something I never wished for him.“So dear, you don't have anyone to go to…I am only trying to help you Clara…I know what my son did was wrong so let me help you get back at him..let me help you make him realize his mistakes.”“I don't want that…I just want to be out of his life!! I want to start my own life and be independent!!! I am tired of living in his
CLARA'S POVI saw him again….the one I've tried so hard to forget…the one I had to run away from…the one I hated to love....the one who took my innocence.Arsenio Robert.After I lost my child, I just couldn't stay in that house.That night, I couldn't breath..it felt like the room..the house... was choking me and I needed air.I opened the door and ran out of the house thinking I would feel better but it only grew worse.I didn't know when my feet took me outside the gate and I walked out in the streets barefooted.For the first time in a long time, I lost hope in myself and in life and I wanted to end my life.I wasn't thinking straight anymore as tears flowed down my face while I continued walking and I honestly didn't know where I was going or how long I walked but I was sure that at some point, my feet were getting numb.I only came back to my senses when I unconsciously walked into the middle of the street and was about to be run down by a car but it stopped a few inches to wher
ARSENIO'S POVI raised my head slowly as I sent her a deadly glare.I was about to unleash my fury on her when she beat me to my words.“Don't you ever call me Clara again!!! She is dead and buried!!"For a while I kept extremely mute."You were pretending not to know me?? All these while???” I asked."Go back to the hell you crawled out from Arsenio and leave me the fuck alone!!!!” She said as she stormed out of the restaurant."Clara?? Clara??!!!" I called as I chased after her.She was about to stop a taxi when I held her hand.“Let go of me!!!” She screamed out as she yanked her hand away from mine.“Do you know how long I've searched for you???? My life hadn't been the same since you walked out of it Clara!!" She suddenly burst into laughter.“What a sick joke!! You think this is the old, stupid and naive Clara that you took advantage of and filled her head with lies?? News flash Arsenio, that Clara has been long gone and I advise that you do the same with your new woman." Clara
ARSENIO'S POV It was exactly a few minutes to 8pm and I was already ready for my date with Clara.I wasn't going to lie, I wanted Clara more than I had ever wanted anyone at the moment and I was going to make everything right with her.The thought of her losing our child still haunted me till date and I can't begin to imagine what she must have gone through alone.I needed to close that gap between us and give her everything she deserves.I was finally ready to become a better man for her.As I walked down to the living room, I saw Isabella sitting down and watching TV while munching on a pack of popcorn.She didn't even spare me a glance and the truth was that I didn't actually care.“You look good…good luck on your date.” She said as she continued munching on the popcorn without looking at me."Thank you.” I said as I walked out of the house and entered my car.It was halfway through the journey I suddenly asked myself how Isabella got the popcorn she was munching on.I drove down
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
