CLARA'S POV “Julius." I didn't want to believe what I just heard or rather the name I just heard.Suddenly memories of the past flooded me and the part where I was thrown into the pool gasping for air and at the point of death flooded my mind.“Clara?? Are you there??" “Why are you calling me??" I asked as tears welled up in my eyes.“It's really you…”"I said why have you called me?? If you don't tell me right now, I will end the call and block your number!!" I bit out."Please!! Don't end the call…please I beg of you." “Then why have you called?? How did you get my contact??" I asked.“I got it from someone with so much difficulty but I am glad it's really you…please Clara I need your help.”"Of course…why else would you call me?" I asked as I scoffed."Can I see you Clara?? I want us to talk.”"Who the hell do you think you are?? Calling me out of the blues and asking for my help?? As if that is not enough, you want to see me?? As what exactly??!!" “It’s been years Clara..are
CLARA'S POV “Marry me Clara." Arsenio said as I burst into laughter."You are crazy.” I said as I continued chuckling."I have never been this serious in my life Clara…marry me…I want to make you mine completely.” “No…hell no..I can't marry you Arsenio!” I bit out as I stood up from his laps and walked out of the car.Arsenio stood up too and followed me.“Why?? What's wrong with me?? Are you still angry at me??" “It's not that Arsenio…have you seen your life??? Everything Around you revolves around violence, bloodshed and hideous dealings..I can't live that life…I just want to live a peaceful life.”"Even when it was worse than this, were you ever harmed??? My dealings and lifestyle have nothing to do with you accepting my proposal..”"It has everything to do with you accepting it…look Arsenio, I don't want to live that life…you of all people know me better than anyone and you know the kind of life I lived before you took me to your house… I don't want a life of violence anymore a
CLARA'S POV "She isn't leaving Mr Arsenio Roberts..what are you going to do??" "You really want to know what I will do Clara??!!”"Yes!!! That woman right there is the only reason why I was able to get over the fact that you and Sergio made me lose my child!!!! She's the only reason why you could even find me here right now because trust me if I went through with what I initially planned on doing, you would have searched the ends of the earth and you wouldn't have found me…do you understand??? You should be on your knees thanking that woman for even talking to me to give you another fucking chance!!!! You know what, get out.” I said as tears dropped down my face.I noticed Arsenio became awfully quiet but I wasn't going to fall for his schemes anymore…I was done.“Clara.." “I said get out!!!!!!" I screamed.“I didn't know okay!!! I didn't know…I thought she…you know what.. it's cool…I'll leave.” Arsenio said as he walked out of the house.I went to the door and slammed it shut so h
CLARA'S POVAfter Arsenio left the Cafe telling me…no…ordering me to get ready for our date by 8pm, I just rolled my eyes and scoffed.“How did you meet that man again??" Benjamin asked.“He met me….I didn't meet him." I said as I sat down.“In my life, I have never seen anyone so…I don't even know the right term to fit his behavior…”"Arrogant, proud, egoistic, self absorbed, proud…”"Okay okay…I get your point Clara but even with these qualities, why and how did you fall for him???" “It's a question I've been asking myself since I crossed paths with him…how and why because trust me when I say that whatever you have witnessed of him is just little compared to where I witnessed at our first meeting.” I said."You mean to tell me that there is a side of him worse than what I've seen and experienced??” Benjamin asked with his eyes wide open.I chuckled softly as I began to reminisce about how badly Arsenio wanted to kill me after thinking I was a spy.“You definitely won't understand B
ARSENIO'S POV “You still love me Clara??” I asked.I was on the verge of giving up on Clara for real until I noticed her change of behavior when I decided to wish her well.The questions she asked and that blazing fire in her eyes sold her out.I knew deep down Clara wanted me but the hurt and anger in her made her act the way she was doing and so I decided to test her.“I don't love you…I said that by mistake.” Clara said."Can you please repeat that mistake again??" I asked as I walked closer to her.“I said I don't love you Arsenio!! Please can you leave??" “I won't until you repeat what you said to princess Sophia." “Excuse sir..with all due respect, I am not.." Prince Sophia said as I shot him a deadly glare that made him instantly halt his words."Stop scaring my friend!!” Clara bit out.I suddenly got a message notification on my phone from Sergio telling me he wanted to speak to me urgently and that it was important.“He will be fine…anyway Clara, I have to leave now but I'
CLARA'S POV "I am pregnant and if you must know, it's not yours.”“What??" Arsenio asked.I could detect three different emotions from Arsenio's face…one was shock, the other was confusion and the last was disappointment.“I said I am pregnant…or do you want me to write it as a text message and send it to you??” I asked."You are pregnant?? Since when did you turn into a liar Clara??” He asked.That response was definitely something I expected.“And who is lying??? I moved on Arsenio…you didn't think I was going to stay celibate for two whole years??”"I know that you are lying to me Clara!! You wouldn't do such a thing..the Clara I know…”"That Clara is dead and gone, Arsenio!! This is a new Clara and she already belongs to another…a real man who treats me like the queen I am.”“Who is he??" Arsenio asked as I saw his fist clenched.“He is none of your business…now that your alleged Clara is gone, you can go back to the pit hole where you crawled out from and leave me the fuck alone
