Semua Bab In Love With A Twin Faced CEO : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Claire's POVI hung up the phone and got into my car. The drive to the nearest motel felt longer than it should have been. My mind kept circling back to the same thoughts over and over again. When I finally pulled into the parking lot, I checked in and went straight to my room.I sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the wall. Grandpa's Hidden Box of Fortune. The words kept repeating in my head. He must have kept it hidden for years. All those years and nobody knew anything about it. But why would the letter resurface after all this time? What changed? Who found it and why now?I really loved Grandpa so much. We had a lot in common.Fashion was one thing we could talk about for hours. Literature was another. He would sit with me in his study and read passages from old books while I listened. We would debate about characters and their choices. Those were the best days of my childhood until he caught a stroke.The last time I saw him was when I was just six years old. He was o

Lucius's POVI stood there watching Claire and every time she looked back at me her cheeks turned pink and I had to look away fast because my heart was beating too hard in my chest and I didn't want her to see what she was doing to me.She had no idea how far I'd already fallen and there was no climbing back up now but this wasn't the moment to tell her any of that because we had bigger problems sitting right in front of us and my dad was lying in a hospital bed somewhere fighting for his life.Getting my father well again mattered more than anything else right now and I knew he would pull through because he was strong but that man who called himself Claire's father was going to regret every single choice he ever made and I would make sure of it personally.The Bronze Blindfold party was happening tonight and the timing couldn't be more perfect for Claire to finally make that monster pay for everything he'd done to her and her family."Are you okay Lucius?"Claire's voice cut through m

Lucius's POVI stood there with regret still eating at me when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and stared at the screen.An SMS notification. From Claire.My fingers went cold. Someone must have cloned her phone. That had to be it because Claire was gone and I had no idea where they took her or if she was even still breathing.I opened the message anyway and read through every word twice. A smile crept across my face before I could stop it."This sounds like the savage version of Claire," I whispered to myself. The words gave me something I did not have five minutes ago. Motivation.I turned to Felix who was checking his own weapon across the room."Felix, I just got a text message from Claire."His head snapped up."She told me she was abducted but she managed to escape."Felix walked closer and I could see the doubt in his eyes even before he opened his mouth."She also said her so-called father is on his way here with one hundred armed men. We are outnumbered but ba

Claire's POVI could not stop thinking about Olivia and the regrets kept eating at me from the inside.My hands trembled as I gripped the edge of the table beside me. How could I just forget her like that and is this how selfish I have become now?These questions would not leave me alone and I found myself unable to look Lucius or his brother or his father in the face anymore. I turned away from them and walked toward the window.What must they be thinking of me right now after I showed them my vulnerable side and after my father disgraced me right in front of them?I pressed my palm against the cold glass and my breath fogged up the surface. I should have killed him when I had the chance but what was I waiting for and why did I just let him slip through my fingers like that. I have to fix this and I have to do it soon."Claire! Claire! Claire! Are you ok?" Lucius screamed my name but I remained lost in my thoughts with my eyes flickering as I stood there staggering on my feet.My v

Claire's POVI stood there staring at Maria Sherwood as the weight of Monica's death pressed down on my chest.My mind raced through possibilities and suspects until it landed on the most obvious answer.Dad sent that message. It had his fingerprints all over it.I turned to Lucius. His jaw was clenched tight and his hands trembled at his sides."Calm down." I reached for his arm. "This feels like a trap. That monster killed an innocent girl to set me up. He wants me running to him for revenge so he can grab me the second I show up.""Not if we play the game differently." His eyebrows drew together as he spoke."What do you mean?" My voice came out higher than I intended."I have an idea. We have to be smart about it." He raised one eyebrow at me."Tell us the plan." Maria stepped closer and her face lost all traces of casual friendliness."Claire needs to play the game exactly how they want her to." Lucius began pacing in front of us. "Look, they expect you to show up and try to ave
