Alex was rounding up in his office. He kept looking at his time to make sure he got back on time. He mustn't let Clara feel dejected or abandoned.With his face still covered, the strange young man left the room after injecting the drug into Mrs. Roberts.“Thank you,” Clara muttered but the young man had just ignored her and only nodded his head and left.He obviously avoided eye contact and was looking down, though smoothly without any suspicions.After Clara sat close to her mum, she seemed asleep now and was resting. She can't wait for her mum to be finally fine. The memories of how her mum tried to defend her back there in Alex’s house reminded her of all she had lacked.How Elizabeth and Selene maltreated her, and how Mrs. Peters insulted her. If only Mum had been fine all along, none of this would happen to her.She held her mum’s hands tightly as she kept smiling at the memories popping up in her head. “Mum, you have to be fine for me, for us.” As she still smiled, Alex had arr

The burial date of Mrs. Roberts has been fixed. Mr. Roberts didn't even feel the death of his wife or rather ex-wife.Alex has been supportive of Clara. He was always there for her. He came home more often to stay with her.The burial was fixed on a Friday. Alex helped her with most things and she had also gotten her first allowance.Mr. Roberts refused to contribute a dime to the burial of Mrs. Roberts. Clara had approached him many times but together with Elizabeth, they always sent her out.Elizabeth was feeding Mr. Roberts with lies and evil and telling him not to help Clara in any way.After they fixed the burial, it was going to be a very quiet burial with very few people and the priest.Clara, Alex, Sophia, Henry Brown, and two other friends of Alex attended the burial with the priest. After the burial mass, they dropped the bouquets on Mrs. Roberts's grave to signify their last respect.Clara was wearing her dark goggles, she had been crying out her eyes and Alex was just alway

"Please, give me more time. I don't have a job and I will need to calculate and raise such an amount of money.” Clara tried to plead with Elizabeth because one week was a short period for the amount they were talking about. “There is no extra time, Clara.” After that reply, Elizabeth left her in the middle of nowhere and disappeared. Recollecting herself, Clara reassured herself that whenever it came to her mum, she would do whatever it was to give her a good burial. When Clara got home that day, Alex was already home. He had been waiting for her and wondered where she went. “Did you take a stroll?” There was a bit of delay in Clara’s reply. She had been warned not to tell Alex anything if not her mum’s corpse would be thrown. “No.” she gently replied, shaking her head and avoiding eye contact. Alex waited for her to say something else, where she was coming from or what she went to do, but Clara remained mute. He let that slide and gave her brief details about his day in the o

Henry was carried away by Annie’s perfect body. His hands were beginning to rise and he found himself smiling back at her alluring smile,That reaction alone gave Annie more confidence as she made some more seductive moves.Suddenly, it seemed Henry was able to control himself. He held her wrist from unbuttoning more, “It’s enough.”His voice didn’t sound convincing like that was indeed what he wanted but he said it anyway. “If you don’t leave now, I will call the security.”That had gotten Annie shocked, was he rejecting her right now? His first tone didn’t sound convincing, but the second, he actually wanted her out.She was still going to maintain her elegance instead of having Henry call security, so she stopped. “Have a nice day, CEO Henry. If you have a change of mind, holla me.” She did the call sign by putting her half-folded fist close to her ears.She dropped her card and the hotel she was staying in on the table, quickly adjusted her clothes and hair, flipped her purse bac

Clara picked herself up and boarded a taxi back home. This time, her mind was blank, no ideas, no plans, nothing.All she wanted was to get home and lay her head on the bed, she needed rest.In the car, while Elizabeth and Selene were on their way. Selene felt a bit of pity for Clara.“Mum, we should have collected it and let her bury her mum. What if she involves Young Master now?”“She dares not, I'm sure she lied to him to get the money, if she does, she would be at risk too for lying.”With that reply, Selene breathed out showing she was satisfied with the answer. Why should she even feel pity for Clara at all when it was her position that Clara was occupying? She is meant to be Alex’s wife.Henry Brown was walking up and down his office. He has been feeling guilty and restless. His assistant has been able to give him a brief history of Clara.However, he still can't connect the dots. All of these happened before his accident and he was the same person who dismissed her.He also t
