Lucas is dropping me off first before going home, he had said he had a meeting.I was snuggling in his chest in the back sit as the driver quietly drove us."Have you ever been in love?" I ask Lucas looking up to his face. I have been wanting to know since we confessed our feelings to each other.
"No." Lucas says looking at me."But there have been other women before me?" I ask again."Yes, there have been other women but no one compared to how I feel about you."

She's complaining about my father yet another time, he's cheating again. Not sure he ever even stopped but that's something I can't say to her. I look over the huge glass windows staring at Lucas, my perfect husband. He's is sitting on the little sitting area in our bedroom, working on his laptop while watching CNN. I don't want to be on the phone with my mother I want to be inside with him cuddled up or something, he just got back from Europe last night and we've barely been alone with the kids and everything.

When I called my dad and told him I wanted to talk to him he asked to take me lunch but I decided against that and suggested his office Incase he loses his cool when I tell him what I want to talk to him about because that's probably a possibility. The driver drops me off at my dad's office, I take a deep breath before heading upstairs to first see my brother's who both are lawyers like my dad and are working with him. "Clara is Justin in?" I ask my brother's secretary before heading for his office. "Yes he's in." She replies with a smile and I nod before

It looked professional but also hot, the skirt fits perfectly and the top too, it also shows a little cleavage but not too much. I opted for a lot of makeup today, just a simple nude face with mascara and a little eyeliner and no lipstick. Left my hair up in a high ponytail.Satisfied with my look, I wore my favorite pair of manolo heels. I checked the time and it was already 5.
