"Umm..." Clarissa trailed off, making Lucas raise a brow at her. "Tell me," Lucas said flatly, knowing she probably had something more to say. He turned and walked towards the table where he kept his phone. Clarissa let out a deep breath, grateful for his absence because it seemed like she was doing herself a lot of harm by being near him. Somehow, with him so close—she couldn't process stuff. "Kai has approved the letter. He called a while ago and told me to come over to the college tomorrow. All the new intakes will be attending a meeting and he called to tell me to be there." Clarissa paused when Lucas turned to face her. "And I agreed." She added. Lucas stayed quiet. A brief moment of silence stretched between them before he uttered. "Okay. One of the drivers will drive you to the school tomorrow." He picked up his phone and said calmly. "Anything else?" Clarissa shifted awkwardly. "No. Nothing else. I'll leave now." She turned around and made her way to the door. "Clarissa

"Don't get me wrong. I like you, Clarissa but I love my grandson even more." She clarified. Her face was blank.Clarissa smiled weakly. "That's totally understandable, Granny." Somehow, the tension still lingered.Granny Reed dropped her newspaper and took off her glasses. She leaned forward, her face turned serious. "Honestly, you should be careful around men like this. They hurt you and when you're gone, they suddenly hate that you're with someone else. It's disgusting, right?" Clarissa found herself nodding. A strange anger enveloped her. "Most of these men tend to do the worst things so be careful, dear. I just hope your past doesn't bite you so hard." With that, she leaned back on her chair and grabbed her glasses. That was Clarissa's cue to know that was the end of their mini conversation. "I understand. I'm off to school now." With that, she stood up from the couch."Have a great day." Granny Reed said from behind her as she exited the room. Clarissa's shoulder sank as she

The library was quiet, slightly dim but clean…it was as if there was no window, just the dim light above the ceiling. The library smelled like paper and lavender polish. The shelves stood tall with books stacked neatly in rows. At the entrance, there was a woman with big round glasses and curly hair that was tied in a loose bun. Her eyes were sharp, she didn’t even smile when they stepped in. She glanced up at Kai and he gave her a short nod. “Afternoon, Ms Leta.” The woman nodded back at him, then looked down at the book she was reading while flipping a page like no one ever came in. Clarissa stayed close behind Kai, looking around in awe. The library was just as she has expected. The previous night, she had made her research and looked through the buildings in the school and noted that there was a Library in the college. Kai walked off toward Ms Leta who was still busy reading her book, probably to speak to her about something. Clarissa didn’t follow him as she was drawn to

"Why did you come to my house?" Lucas pressed a hard glare on Charlie. But the old man shrugged."Old lady Reed told me that you suddenly got engaged." Charlie tore his gaze from Lucas and planted it on Clarissa who felt small in the presence of these enigmatic men. Charlie smiled warmly. "So I was curious and wanted to see the woman who decided to be with someone like you."Clarissa frowned. 'Someone like you?' That was too ambiguous but she didn't say anything. Lucas scoffed. "Now that you've gotten what you came here for. I think you should take yourself out of my house now." "Woah Woah." Charlie took a step back as he raised his hands. "Not so fast." Lucas's eyes sank. Hating how Charlie was being 'carefree' in his house. In his living room. "I came here for something else. We need to talk." Charlie uttered. "Seeing your fiancée was just part of my reasons to visit. But not the main reason." Lucas didn't say a word. The look on Charlie's face had turned serious. A moment of s

"What..." Clarissa trailed off when Lucas staggered out of the elevator, coming towards her. She forgot to blink for a moment as Lucas came nearer until he was just a foot away from knocking into her. Her eyes went up from his disheveled sleeve whose two upper buttons were undone—to his face that was contorted with a blank look, his eyes that had a tinted red at the corner—to his messy hair that looked like he had run his hands through it many times. "What did I tell you, Darling??" He said, his voice dangerously low as he came nearer. All images of the sad looking-terrified-pained-whimpering ass-Lucas were gone. He looked rather spiteful now. "Didn't I tell you not to leave me??" Clarissa blinked heavily now. Feeling ridiculous, her lips parted open in disbelief. She suddenly wished mrs Chen could see the 'he's like a child when cared for' Lucas. He was back to being annoying again. He doesn't look like someone who needed 'comfort or care'!!Lucas continued to lay down his compl
