All Chapters of Clasp of Life : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

You see your life flash before your eyes before you breathe your last breath. Is this my last day? I think it is? Magnus doesn't like to hear the word no. Anyone who dares to say no to him doesn't get a chance to speak ever again as they are silenced forever. He takes what he wants. No one dares to stand in front of him or challenge him. He is like no other and that's why he is paid the highest in what he does. I don't know how I agreed to date him in the first place but here I am in the apartment that he bought for me in which I have been living for the past year. Tonight I am trembling to face him. I have come to realize I don't love him. I can't live with him. He is suffocating me and I am losing myself to be someone he wants me to be. He has been training me like an animal to obey him and live a lifestyle he approves of. Right now I am holding the tiffany box in my hand and crying my life out as I know he doesn't like to hear the word no. I can't say yes. I would rather die th

"Daddy" calls Penny and comes out of the hoddie. The girl holds her hand looking at her confused. "It's ok. He is my daddy. I am safe now" says Penny and removes her hand from the girl's grip. Penny rushes to Magnus and stands in front of him. "Are you ok?" Asks Magnus standing in front of Penny, looking down at her. "Yes," says Penny with a pout. Magnus squats down to her level and asks "are you hurt?" "No," says Penny with her eyes filling with tears. Magnus pulls her into a hug and Penny busts out crying. "Daddy I was scared" cries, Penny. "Can you tell us what happened?" Asks Magnus. "That can wait. First, let's get them to the hospital. Both need to get checked" says Asher. Magnus picks Penny in his arms and stands up. He looks at the girl who was watching him. But as soon as he looks at her, she bows down. Magnus takes Penny with him holding her close and Asher tried to take the girl with him but she shakes her head resisting going with anyone. "Come" calls Penn

Salvador, Raffaele's father walks into Raffaele's lavish home where his men panic seeing him. This meant only one thing, Raffaele was having one of his episodes. Salvador spots Raffaele seated crossed-legged on the floor, holding a gun to his head. He was talking to himself and swaying to and fro. But what stood out from his bizarre behavior was the cotton sundress he had on. It was torn from behind as it was obvious Raffaele forced himself into it and tore it. One of the spaghetti straps was broken and the short dress came to his hip just above his boxers. Salvador stands in front of Raffaele which made him stop talking to himself. Raffaele looks up at his father and could see the disappointment in his eyes which he was accustomed to by now. Salvador sits on the chair in front of Raffaele and says "the dress didn't come in your size?" "It's Daisy's. I wanted to feel her presence so I wore one of her dresses" says Raffaele f

"No one came looking for her. We have distributed her picture around police stations to see if something comes up" says Asher to Magnus and Aiden seated in the hospital ward. Aiden was getting discharged today and both father and son came to pick him up. "Why are so worried about her. Pay her off for her help and send her away. One look at her and I knew she is trouble" says Aiden getting dressed. "That was my first instinct and I did try to get rid of her but Penny insisted she stay with us," says Magnus."She is a kid. Take her to Disney land for a day and she will forget all about some girl from the night" says Aiden and waits for Magnus to say something. Aiden and Asher share a look and Asher asks "what's going on?""There is something very... very... I don't know. Something I like in her" says, Magnus."Bro, what did you do?" Asks Aiden."I didn't do anything. She did" says Magnus. "What did she do?" Asks Asher."You want to kno

Aiden turns to look back at the presumably dumb girl who just spoke. She was smiling at Penny and showing off her dress. Aiden walks to Daisy and watches him come close, Daisy tried to walk away and hide behind Penny but Aiden held her arm in a tight grip and asks "you can talk?" "Leave her, you are scaring her," says Penny trying to push Aiden away from Daisy."Answer me," asks Aiden ignoring Penny's cry for letting Daisy go. Aiden drags Daisy out of the room, towards the main door. "What's happening here?" Asks Genelia looking at the scene in front of her. She looks at Penny who was running behind Aiden and crying out loud. "Penny" calls Genelia and holds Penny. "I knew you were sketchy since the day I saw you. You have been lying and acting like a victim. Get out, bitch" says Aiden and pushes her out of the gates, on the road. Daisy falls on her fours, scraping her palms and knees. She looks behind and sees Aiden fuming with anger.
