Clara silently cried as Paxton told them everything that happened. She hell never expected that Paxton would face her fate this soon. For some reasons, Elena's hatred always directed towards Clara and she would use Paxton only to blackmail Clara."Do you know why she did this?" Clara asked softly cupping his cheeks."There is no such reason for her actions. Don't blame yourself" Paxton is surely a matured kid. Clara sometimes wondered how he could behave like a father to her."You have gathered courage at last to confront her. I don't want you to back off only because she hurts me. It's my battle now. You have endured a lot. But she should know that I don't have any Paxton to protect. So she better not behave like she behaved with you" Paxton's words made Clara so proud. She brought up her brother in a very courageous way. But she can't let him suffer alone."I am not there to protect you anymore. You can't always be a kid. So grow up and protect yourself. She should never treat you l

"What did you do to make her calm?" Rose asked all amused when Clara was just resting her head over his shoulders with a small smile. Alex looked at her face and smiled like the same."Drivers are supposed to drive not to eavesdrop on the conversation" Alex snapped with a chuckle and turned away leaving Rose dropping her jaw to the ground.Frank and Grace came there with worried faces. Rose explained about Clara's state. "We are home. You promised me that you will show me something interesting?" Clara asked as she grabbed Alex to her side. Alex didn't expect her to remember them and even ask that loudly in front of all. What a day!"Interesting?" Grace asked with a wink."Maybe he promised only his wife. He won't show us anything" Frank pouted and Alex knew that this night had no ending at all for him."It's only for me. I will not share him with anyone" Alex widened his eyes at her remark. Did she purposefully join hands with his family to tease him?"Why?" Rose asked with a giggle.

Sliding all thoughts, Clara entered her room. The lights were off and the dim bulb was flickering to give her brightness. She kept her office bag on the sofa and walked further. Her eyes widened in shock seeing the steam stick near the table. Someone was holding them as the switch was on. Her forehead was filled with sweat as the memories ran wild in her head. "You tried to tell your dad about me?" Elena's voice from 10 years ago felt so real and alive there. "Why don't you tell this too?" Elena asked as she kept the steam stick just above Clara's knees. Hot tears rolled down the cheeks of the small girl and she couldn't even scream. "Scream, if you want this same punishment for your brother" Elena smirked as she was enjoying the whimpering of Clara. Clara blinked away to let the memory fade away but failed miserable as the steam stick started directing towards her. She walked back till she hit the wall behind. Her eyes trembled thinking about the pain. Alex switched on the ligh

Diana asked some basic questions and Alex was the one answering them. He noticed her uneasiness around him and he started wondering what the actual problem was."I know about the rumor that you have kidnapped your sister to marry Mr. Alexander. So if you want to make any statement on that, it would be beneficial for you." Diana asked Clara. She looked at Diana and back at Alex. "I don't want to say anything about it." Her words didn't settle well with Alex. He loved her replies back then to his employees. But what happened to her all of a sudden?"Guess I have to answer this" Alex gave a small smile."I kidnapped her so that I can marry this girl" Alex spoke as Clara widened her eyes. "That was a bold statement." Diana chuckled."You can write them. I don't mind. These stupid rumours should get stupid answers, don't you think?" Alex asked Dian and she nodded in agreement."That would create a ruckus. But still, I would publish this as I love dramas" Diana laughed as Alex couldn't ag

The dance was pretty murderous. Sandy was wincing in pain while Rose felt like smashing his head for real. He can be that annoying all the time. Alex and Clara seemed to get to know each other a little bit. Clara started letting Alex come inside her circle where no one has ever entered. Not even Paxton. The picture she had for Alex was pretty rude and arrogant. But he has proved otherwise since they married. Even he was not that polite to Elsa earlier."May I ask you something?" Alex asked her as the party almost came to an end."Did you write my name to not dance with?" He asked directly as Nathan told them that the partners are chosen according to that only. "I mentioned all" Clara mumbled with a smile as Alex laughed with her."Even I wrote the same." He replied.******The conference table felt as if it was haunted by vengeful spirits. The chillness was too much to bear. The members were scared to even breathe inside that silence-filled room where Alex and Sandy were busy glaring
