121. The mastermind

James' POVFeeling that there's no point in talking about this any longer, I get up from my seat. But my mother put her hand on mine."Where are you going, James? We haven't even talked about this yet." She met my eyes with a pleading gaze, trying to make me sit back.I was never expecting that Zoe would get to my mother the moment I told her to leave. She must think that was the best decision since my mother will support her no matter what. Among the other families, my mother is the one who accepted Zoe with open arms since the first time I introduced Zoe to them.They both quickly became close to each other. My mother used to be a model before she met my father, that one thing she and Zoe have in common made them both quickly connect.Since I married her five years ago, I've noticed Zoe's dedication to trying to win over my family, especially my mother. Their connection has grown significantly. At first, I appreciated it, but it also led her to meddle more frequently in my househo

122. Dating

Clara's POV"Please tell me what brings such a big smile to my beautiful cousin's face?" Lily asked as she saw I could no longer keep my smile under wraps.I tried to hide my smile but I failed. And now I must look crazy in her eyes."Clara, remember that you also haven't told me who that beautiful big bouquet is from? Do you have a boyfriend?" She asked."What? No!" Her question is reasonable. If I want to date, that's my choice since I'm single and of age. I'm still a bit embarrassed when she throws a question like that my way."Then?""It's from Keith, Lily." I finally answered. I turned my gaze, fully aware that she would tease me about this once she found out it was Keith who made my cheeks flush. I really just wish the ground would swallow me right now."Oh, so last night it was him you met? Why are you lied to me, Clara?" She asks her hand on her waist.I can't help but laugh; she looked just like Auntie Jena when she used to scold us as kids, especially when she acted like t

123. The old family

Clara's POV"Please tell me he's okay?" Lily said to Auntie Jena over the phone. We're in an Uber now, heading to uncle's house.She cannot put down the phone, wanting to ensure that Uncle Thomas is okay. I can't make out Auntie Jena's response on the phone, but just by looking at Lily's expression, I can tell that things aren't great.Lily still couldn't stop crying. I sense that my tears are on the verge of spilling, but I just can't let myself cry right now. In a situation like this, one of us needs to be the rock to support the other. If I let myself down as well, then who will be there to support Lily?"Uncle will be okay," I said to her, I hope the little power my words have can at least give peace in her heart. “Please, you should have a hope in yourself.”"No, no. I'm not at the office right now. I'm on my way there, Mom." Lily said, "I'll be there soon." And then she turned off her phone.As soon as the connection dropped, Lily couldn't contain her sobs any longer. She look

124. The rain

Clara's POVTime flew by without me noticing, and before I knew it, I found myself sitting between them. Auntie Jena and Lily were sitting right in front of me. Uncle Thomas is lounging on the sofa, his injured arm wrapped in bandages and resting on some pillows. Layla is sitting next to me, enjoying the cookies that Auntie Jena gave us."Eat some Clara. You haven't tasted it even a bit" Auntie Jena said, handing me a plate of cookies. She was still in shock having me here. It's so clear on her face."Thank you, Auntie." I had one of her cookies. As I took a bite, I realized this was the first time she had let me enjoy a cookie she baked.Auntie Jena sells them online and she typically bakes cakes when there are orders. Whenever she makes something, she always saves some to share with Lily and David. I never asked where my share was or why she never saved any for me because I knew she simply wouldn't give it to me. It's been years, and I've moved on. But I think that memory will

125. A small detail

Clara's POVYes, my eyes did not deceive me because that man was indeed James. He rushed over to us and we stared at each other for a while before he finally said."Please get into my car."I was silent for a while. I couldn't believe that it would be my ex-husband who showed up when I needed help the most. The craziest part was when he asked me to get into his car."I get that you might not be happy about being in the car with me, but it’s already dark and raining now. Make sure to think about your daughter's health as well, rainwater isn't good for a kid." James said.Everything else he said faded away as my focus was on his final sentence. At that moment Layla sneezed, and without a second thought, I brushed aside all my doubts.I was just about to head over to his car, which was parked a few meters away when I felt something draped over my head. I looked up and saw James was already taking off his suit, leaving the white tailored shirt that fit his body just right."This is not un

126. Comfort

James' POVClara seems taken aback; she probably questions how I still recall such a small detail about her after all this time. Honestly, I have no idea what the answer is. I had no idea that my subconscious was holding onto some memories of my ex-wife from our time together.Even though I'm not a fan of chocolate, I really don't want to let her down. I picked up the cup and took a sip. The chocolate's quality is top-notch and the sweetness is perfectly balanced. "What do you think of the tastes?" She asked. "It's good," I say. It didn't take long for me to finish it in a few gulp. I set the empty black cup on the tray.Clara picked hers up and brought her cup to her lips and I just can't help but watch her. When she walked to me with a tray holding two cups earlier, I felt a strange sensation within me. It was the usual scene I witnessed every day when she was still my wife, but why does it feel so different and special now?Her invitation to stop by for a bit gave me a rush of

127. Stalked

Lily's POVThe next morning."Lily, why didn't you tell me sooner that you've been living with Clara all this time? Wait, you didn't even mention that she's still alive?" Mom called out as I walked into the kitchen.I just brought breakfast to Dad's room. Waking up in my parents' house again, hearing their voices fill the morning was a comforting feeling. I suppose I didn't fully understand that I still wanted them to be there with me all the time. I pushed myself to handle everything on my own and didn't realize just how much I missed them. Mom was baking cookies since she had a hundred orders to fill. And today, I will spend my day helping her. Just like I used to in high school, I always wanted to help her, but she always told me not to. She said that I would just ruin it if I got my hands on the dough."Don't you remember that Clara chose to keep herself away from all of us these whole years? So why would I share her secret with others when she trusted me with it? I really don'

Lily's POV"I'll be there shortly after this. Just hold on a while." Clara said over the phone. She called me right when I was about to text her that she didn’t need to come by and see Dad today.Dad's condition has gotten better this morning, and I'm hopeful that in the next few days, he'll be back to being healthy again.“Clara, you don’t have to. Dad is doing well, and I'll be back at the apartment in two days." I said.I watched the people walking by through the glass wall of the supermarket. A whirlwind of thoughts is spinning in my head. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the time I spent with my parents, living with them as I did years ago. But you need to understand what concerns me. The mysterious message I received about ten minutes ago has to be from that person.And now, he knows where I lived.

129. Broken princess

Lily's POV“Really? Oh, don’t hesitate then, come on in.” Mom said to Stevan, much to my surprise.Stevan gave a respectful nod to my mom before following her into the building. I stood in my place for a moment, feeling a bit stunned. My mom is always welcoming to all my friends, but she tends to be a little protective when it comes to my guy friends. Since high school, she’s only allowed me to be friends with guys whose families she already knows, and I have no clue why.When I opened the door, I saw Stevan and Mom chatting in the living room. They seem to know each other well already. "Lily, could you please brew some coffee for Stevan?" My mom asked."Sure." I nodded and headed to the kitchen. Once I arranged the groceries in the refrigerator and was done brewing the coffee, I headed back to the living room with a cup of coffee and two cups of tea. Setting the tray on the table, I took a seat next to Mom."Lily you always share about your friends with me so why have you never me

130. Fiancée

Clara's POV"Mommy, Grandma Jena is so nice and her cookies are the best," Layla said as I slipped on her shoes before we headed to Uncle Thomas' apartment."Yes, she always makes very good cookies," I answered, smiling. Seeing my daughter happy always brings me joy as well."Did she also bake you since you were little?"I nodded my head once more. She doesn't have to know the truth. I'm grateful that Auntie Jena treats my daughter well; it brings me peace of mind, and I don't want to ruin it. After I helped Layla get ready, I headed to my bedroom to pick up my clutch and phone.I had mentioned to Lily that, I was getting a bit late but I would still find time to visit Uncle again today. I'll swing by to grab a few for them things before heading there. As I walked into the living room, Layla jumped up from the couch and dashed over to me. "Let's go, mommy!" She grabbed my hand, seeming impatient to meet my uncle and aunt again.Once I double-checked that the stove and faucet were o
