Chapter 91 - Hard to believe

AdrianClara was brilliant as usual, bringing ideas and solutions before the problem would even pose a threat to the company. As she spoke about tackling issues, it was nice to sit back and watch her in her element. Solving problems like she did when we were still married. Like she solved behind my back. I must have lost myself in her glory and audacity. I caught myself smiling after she finished speaking and most of the things she'd said were forgotten by me as I was thinking about how beautiful she was. "Uhhmm, yes. We should do that too." The board members looked at me like I'd said something abominable. "She was talking about moving her desk." One of the members said and I blinked severally, mentally smacking myself in the face. "Okay, that being said. We will have this meeting after all of what we have discussed has been put in place." They stood from their seats and I called one person back. "Doctor C," She turned around. "Or should I call you Clara?" Her face was blank,

Chapter 92 - Clara

Clara"What did he want? What did he ask you?" Julian was already at my office by the time I got there, his hands folded across his chest as he rested on my desk. I exhaled and settled into my seat frost before replying. "Just the same.""The same what?" He asked, his eyes widened like I wasn't telling him anything. "He's still asking if I'm his late wife. Nothing serious." I replied, trying not to make big of the matter. No matter how pissed Adrian made me, I didn't want to get Julian involved. He had a mafia friend who killed for fun and he took the lightest matters seriously. If rather handle things myself than get him involved. "It's not nothing serious. It's as serious as violating your privacy." He spat, his face twisted into a frown. "I hate his aura, his ego, everything." "Calm down Julian, you'll get yourself worked up for nothing. He's just looking for his dead wife. He probably thinks I'm her because we look alike. What he needs is time to heal and accept the fact t

Chapter 93 - Unexplainable shock

ClaraThey paused in their steps when they saw me seated behind the table. I was taken back as well but I didn't let it get too obvious, I caught on quickly. "How may I help you?" I asked with a smile. They exchanged glances before taking the empty seats. For five seconds, or maybe seven seconds, they didn't speak, they just exchanged glances as if they were speaking to themselves with their eyes. Roxy and Lu never treated me right and if we had met under different circumstances, I would have walked them out of my office but I couldn't let them know I knew who they were. "Is there a problem?" I asked when the silence went on too long. Roxy shifted her gaze from Lu and flashed me a smile. "Not at all. There's no problem here." She replied, her face looked a bit bothered like she wasn't supposed to say what she came here to say. "I'm sorry to bother you but we came here to tell you to come back home with us." My brows arched at her words and my lips fell slightly open. "What?

Chaoter 94 - No right

Adrian"You lost the right to my son four years ago during the accident." She spat without holding back. Her eyes shooting lasers into my face. "Walking back now and asking for him is useless now. He is my son and I will never let him get close to an emotionally unavailable man." She had tried to hide the emotions behind her words but it slipped in a split second and I caught it. The blank face she'd been giving me all this while, the way she acted like she had no emotions, I finally saw the emotions behind the facade. And it was painful. Raw pain. My heart sank as her words hit me hard. A lot of questions filled my mind at the same time. How did she survive back then? Whose body was at the scene? Did she set it all up just to leave the marriage?My eyelids fluttered as I tried to remain present mentally. "How..." My voice trailed off as I started to speak. "I don't have time for this nonsense Adrian. Stay away from us." Her voice was stern. No doubt she meant every word. She

Chapter 95 - Fear

3rd person povJulian wasn't the happiest about what was going on. His fear had been his rival, Adrian, getting back with Clara and he'd consoled himself with the fact that she lost her memories and no longer remembered anything that happened before the accident. But they were getting too close than necessary. He had to do something about it but he didn't want to put her off and make her feel like something was wrong just like she thought before. Julian gestured to his table and a waitress strutted towards him with a smirk. "I want more." He spoke with a husky voice and she turned the liquor in her hand into his cup. "Someone broke your heart?" She asked as she turned the drink into his cup. He ignored her the first time and gulped down the drink in one smooth move. He placed the cup on the table for another glass. She smirked and turned more liquor in. "You know, talking about heartbreak helps a bit to ease the ache." "What's your name?" Julian asked, reaching for the glass

Chapter 96 - Don't help me

Adrian"I got the details you needed sir." Clem said, standing in front of my desk with her iPad clutched to her side. I stretched my hand and she placed the device on my hand. I glanced at the screen, pictures of Clara covered most of the screen, pictures of her in different places. Photos from two years ago when she was first spotted after the accident. Photos of her and her son playing at the pack in a different country.It was all there with descriptions. "What does this mean?" I asked to be sure. "She's Clara Hollingsworth. She was in hiding for years with the aid of the mafia boss, Carl." "Carl?" I asked, shocked to hear the name. Carl was not one to get himself involved in normal people's business. How did Clara get to know such a man to the extent of staying in his mansion, under his care for a long time? "Yes sir, he took care of her all those years and made sure no one saw her around. Although she left his house two years ago." Clem informed me. "Are they still in t

Chapter 97 - Dumped wish

ClaraI stormed out of the office, leaving him behind because I didn't trust my voice would be firm when I asked him to walk out of my office. My stomach rumbled as the stupid butterflies that had been dead for years now fluttered back to life. My throat clogged with something thick that threatened to disgrace me if I tried to speak. "Clara..." He called as I walked out of the office but I didn't turn back. I couldn't let him see the strange expression that now covered my face. Only when I got outside the building did I let out my breath I didn't know I've been holding in all this while. "What are you doing outside?" Julian's familiar voice made me jolt. "Huh?""What?" He asked, noticing my anxiety. "Uhm.." I swallowed the lump that blocked my throat and tried to think of something believable to tell him and fast. "What were you thinking that made you look so surprised?" He asked again, his eyes searching my face. "Nothing, I was just... I just needed a break, some fresh air.

Chapter 98 - Warning in disguise

ClaraWe were sitting at the table for forty minutes, thirty-six seconds and there was still no show of Carl. Dinner had been served already and it was a feast. He prepared everything he could to welcome us but I didn't feel welcomed. That was not the case for Julian. He seemed happy with the arrangement. Leo had no idea what was going on, only that his parents were seated at a table with so much food. I couldn't bring myself to eat the sumptuous looking meals on the table. A part of me wondered if he poisoned the food. Another part debunked the thought but the first part was stronger than the latter. Carl was ruthless. As much as he loved family and friends and protected them, he didn't hesitate to hurt them to teach others a lesson as well. Julian was carefree. He smiled at Leo and encouraged him to eat up while he stuffed his mouth with food. He glanced at me and smiled like the insensitive man he was. There was no way he didn't know I didn't like being there but he acted ob

Chapter 99 - Argument

ClaraTo think that Carl was going to say something nice at the very least. I walked out of dinner first. Julian didn't want to leave, he wanted to clear the table. He reluctantly met me at the car after a few minutes of waiting. "Why did you leave like that? You didn't even taste the chicken. It was so good." He said, still chewing what I believed was the chicken. "What kind of question is that?" I asked, my voice higher than usual and I caught myself fast enough because of the little child, Leo who was standing beside Julian, clueless about what was going on. I didn't want him to see us argue or quarrel. I wanted to raise him in a peaceful home. "You can go back if you haven't had enough but I want to leave now." I regulated my tone before speaking this time. "Let's go." He walked to the driver's door, opened it and called Leo to follow him. I led Leo to the back door and placed him on the back seat and fastened his seat belt. I settled into the front seat after making sure

Chapter 100 - Less Efforts?

Adrian"What's the meaning of this?" Clara asked the second she saw me standing in her office with the bouquet I carefully selected at the flower shop. Her bluntness made it hard for me to speak for a few minutes as I stood there staring at her. "I got these for you..." "Are you out of your mind?" She asked before I finished speaking. "I told you times without number to stop these unprofessional acts at the place of work but you keep trying me, to see what I would do." I was at loss for words with the way she was talking. She lashed out at me like I had ruined her entire day. "I won't tell you this again. It's time I take matters into my own hands." She rose from her seat and brushed past me out of the office. For a few seconds, I stood in the office, the bouquet in my hand as my mind processed what just happened. I got the flowers to apologize to her. I noticed that the previous day, after the incident that happened at the office, she didn't return to the office again. She di
