“Mum. Do you think we should check on them?” Selene asked her mother. She was so impatient and she really needed to know how progressive they were.“No. That would only make your father suspect. Lucas would do his job.” Elizabeth replied to Selene.They couldn't hear any screams or sounds which meant that Clara was still under the influence of the drugged food she ate.Selene went into her room and made herself up. She couldn't wait for the final result. She made a video call with a few of her friends telling them how Alex Peters was interested in her.“Really?”“You are so lucky.”“You're gonna be a member of the Peters soon.”“Guys, I gotta go. He’s coming to pick me up soon,” she replied to them. Her ego was fully boosted and that would be her reality soon.Henry Brown arrived at Robert’s residence. He knocked and even though they weren't expecting anyone, they opened the door for him.Selene's face turned pale as she looked at him. Why was he here all of a sudden? Was that bitch i

Clara was astounded to find that number of people in their home. Alex never told her they were coming and she just wanted to come down.“Oh no,” Alex shouted the moment he saw her climbing off the stairs. He then rushed and helped her.“The Doctor said you needed rest, why are you awake?”“Sleeping is not the only form of resting,” Clara replied to him. Trying to make him understand that people get tired of sleeping too.Selene had been looking at Clara maliciously. This was every life that she had prayed for and more, and Clara got it on a platter of gold.“Can you continue, Mrs. Elizabeth?” Alex redirected at the person confessing before.Elizabeth had said almost everything needed and she knew that Alex only wanted Clara to hear it all. But right now, she was shameless and without pride. Anything she was doing was to save their fortune. She would fight for this later.After she was done saying everything. Clara’s eyes were watery like she was crying or she wanted to.“And you Lucas

Clara couldn’t answer that question. She knew Alex would be disappointed with her. Alex had always begged her to always be on his side.“Fine, I guess you will remain here my dear. There is no alternative. It’s either a yes or a yes.”Mrs. Peters left the moment Clara refused to say a word. Annie was laughing out so loud.“Such a loser, I didn’t know you were also dumb. In the end, the young master will end up with me.”Clara knew it was better to ignore Annie than to react to her words. It was too early to give in to these people. Only when she can’t do anything anymore, would she agree with them.Alex had searched for Clara everywhere, but he didn’t see her. His heart was penetrated and he doesn’t know why they wouldn’t let them be.For the first time, a tear dropped from his eyes but he was quick to wipe it.“He went to the study and checked the CCTV, it was glaring that he knew those who must have taken Clara away.Only the Peters had access to the car, so it was either his fathe

When Alex and Clara arrived at the hospital, Clara’s mum’s health condition seemed to have improved a lot.Way before Clara made her request, Alex had been funding Clara’s mum’s bills without her knowledge.He pleaded with the doctors to make sure that she was given the best treatment and that it remained a secret. Even though she’d been unconscious all this while, she seemed better that day.“Mummy, look at you. Your health has improved a lot.” Mrs. Roberts offered her a faint smile. She looked at Alex and smiled too. Alex had visited her a few times though she couldn’t remember what he kept saying.Alex stepped forward. Coming between the mother and daughter.“You have brought such an amazing gift to the world. Thank you, Mum, I promise to love and cherish this gift.”Mrs. Robert was still smiling when Clara gave Alex a beat on his back.“How can you skip the most important thing and talk about loving and cherishing?”“And what’s the most important?” Alex asked her.“Mum. I got mar

Selene was in the sitting room when she saw the news. Was she dreaming? Luck had finally left that unfortunate girl.“Mum, come and see something.” She screamed, which made Elizabeth come out from the kitchen.They watched the news and confirmed it was really Clara and that she was wanted.Joyfully, Selene asked her mum. “Mum, aren’t we lucky?”“This is just the beginning my dear. This isn’t enough punishment yet.”“Right?” Selene asked.Ever since Young Master Alex tampered with their investment, Elizabeth had been plotting her revenge slowly. Apparently, the revenge isn’t for Young Master Alex, rather it’s for Clara. She is the cause of everything in the first place.Selene knew her mum was right, this was just the beginning of Clara’s misfortune.Annie Cooper and Mrs. Peters had also seen the news. They didn’t know what really happened and how that came about.But because Clara was involved, they wanted the cops to take all the necessary action and would even hand Clara over to th
