Semua Bab In Love With A Twin Faced CEO : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Claire's POVThe taxi pulled up to Caesar's Palace and I reached into my purse for my wallet."It has been paid for," the driver said quietly.I stared at him. "What did you just say?""The payment for the ride has been taken care of by an anonymous person. Bye, have a nice day!" He drove off before I could ask another question.I stood on the sidewalk trying to process what happened. Who else would pay for my ride except David? He was trying to manipulate me again and I wasn't going to let it work.Caesar's Palace towered above me when I walked to the entrance. The building sparkled with lights and expensive perfume drifted from the doorways. This wasn't just some resort where normal people stayed. Billionaires came here along with celebrities and people who made money in ways they didn't talk about publicly.Why would David pick this place? It confirmed what I suspected about his secret phone calls. He had to be involved in something illegal and I needed proof.I walked through the m

Claire's POV "Let me not repeat myself, get into the car Claire!" My dad's voice cut through the air like a blade.I stayed exactly where I was. The concrete felt solid under my feet while everything else seemed to shift around me. Those words from earlier kept playing in my head and I needed to understand what they meant before I went anywhere with him.I was five when it all started. Now I'm old enough to demand answers and the only way to get them is to stand my ground right here."Don't make me do something I'll regret!" His voice got sharper."Go ahead dad. You want to kill me? Kill me then." The words came out before I could stop them."Claire, get into the car. This is your last warning.""No." I said fearlessly.His jaw tightened and he turned to his men. "Bring that fool closer since she won't cooperate."Two of his guys dragged Lucius down the stairs. Dad pulled out his gun and pressed it against Lucius's temple. The click of the safety coming off echoed in the space between

Claire's POV The warehouse door slammed shut behind me and Lucius spun around with fury blazing in his eyes."What the hell are you doing here Claire? Why the fuck did you come here?" he snapped.Before I could answer, Felix stepped out of nowhere with his gun already drawn and aimed at my chest."She has the guts to come here after what her father did. I guess she's here to pay for her father's sin," Felix said.Lucius whipped his head toward his twin brother and his jaw clenched tight."I'll kill her myself brother you don't call shots here I do, I was here when it happened! Where the fuck were you? You just show up out of the blue trying to call the shots!" Lydia grabbed my arm and stepped forward with confusion written all over her face."What's going on here please?"Lucius turned on her with his finger pressed against the trigger."You better keep your mouth shut, this doesn't concern you."I raised my hands slowly and took a small step toward him while my heart hammered agains

Claire's POV I stood in front of the apartment door and pulled my keys from my purse but didn't use them right away. Liliana's words kept spinning through my head and suddenly everything clicked into place like puzzle pieces falling exactly where they belonged. Her story wasn't just some cautionary tale or inspirational speech. It was a blueprint for my own transformation. Think about it. A girl gets disowned by her father who happens to be a kingpin in the business world. Instead of crumbling she builds her own empire in both legitimate business and the criminal underworld. She doesn't just survive but she thrives and becomes more powerful than the man who cast her out. Dad thinks he broke me when he disowned me. He thinks I'll come crawling back begging for his forgiveness and his money. What he doesn't understand is that cutting ties with me was the biggest mistake he could have made because while he can take away his fatherhood he can't take away everything I learned from watch

Claire's POVI stared at the screen and my hands went cold. Someone was watching me and they knew things that only people close to me would know.They were tracking every step I took and every breath I made and I needed to figure out who it was before things got worse.I did not care how I felt right now because I was going to play this game. One of us had to go down and I was not going to let it be me.I forced myself to take a deep breath and I blinked hard before I turned to face the audience. Everyone was staring at me with their faces twisted in confusion and worry and I knew I had to say something."I am fine everyone. You do not need to worry." My voice came out steadier than I expected. "I appreciate all of you for the love you showed me here today. I really do not deserve it."I bowed my head and waited."You are welcome Claire! You deserve it! Do not mention it!" Voices came from every corner of the room and they overlapped each other.Lucius stepped closer and his eyes went
