Clara povA smirk tugged at the side of my lips when I got a call from Adrian. I let it ring for some seconds before picking it up."Where the hell did you go this early?" His voice thundered over the phone and it prompted a smile from me.I was certain what he meant to ask was 'Where did you go?' But his ego won't let him admit the fear my disappearance caused him."Why? You're just coming back from your mistress place now and noticed that I am not at home anymore?" My voice had that mocking edge."Quit your games Clara." He breathed."This is not a game Adrian. I'm only staying in town because of Grandpa's birthday, I have no intention of continuing this thing." "Where are you?" He asked again. I bet he wasn't paying attention to what I was saying at that point.I took a picture of the lush living room and sent it to him."You are with Grandpa Romeo?" His tone was calmer this time around."I will stay here for now." I replied and ended the call.I had packed my things and returned

Adrian PovI dragged my tie down in an attempt to loosen it as I settled into the back seat of my car.The more I tried to understand Clara, the more I found it hard to understand her. She changed all of a sudden. The woman who treated me with care and warmth now looked at me like I was repulsive.All I did was ask her a question, she pulled away from me and strutted back to sit beside my grandfather. Let's not talk about what I went through to get my wife to go out with me. I had to go to my grandfather, like a high school kid who needed help getting a date.I'd never felt so pathetic and less than myself. As my driver drove out of the venue, I couldn't stop thinking about the recent happenings with Clara.She changed totally from the woman who cared about her husband to one who didn't give a shit what happened to me.I was lost in thought, I didn't know when my driver got to the mansion. His words, "We're here sir." Was what brought me out of my thoughts. I made my way inside the

Clara pov"This is it." She continued, "this was the reason he gave you the position in his company."I took a few steps backwards, my mouth open and my heart in a shock. "You were here all along, manipulating him into giving you the job."Roxy had never been nice to me. She saw me as an intruder who waltz into her family and stole the love that was meant to be hers and her daughter's. "I don't know what you're talking about Roxy." I tried to defend myself but it was no use. She never listened to what I had to say."She's the one that made Grandpa not pick my calls anymore!" Lu exclaimed from behind her mother as Roxy tried to pin me in a corner."Where is he?" I was still worried about Romeo. It was unlike him to be absent when he had visitors in his house. And he hadn't been picking up his calls."Shut up you ungrateful bitch!" Roxy's face puffed up with anger as she snapped at me. I looked at Adrian but he was standing by the sofa, rubbing his face with his hand. What did I expe

Clara's PovIt was a relief hearing that Grandpa Romeo wasn't ill but I wasn't certain by his reply.I'd told him we would go for a full body check up. He tried to brush it away with the 'don't I look healthy?' Talk. But I didn't buy it.I sat behind my desk the next day, staring into the laptop in front of me, checking the list of medicines that were going to be distributed that day even though it was way past lunch time.A knock on the door diverted my attention. "Come in." I wasn't paying much attention to the door as my attention was on the device in front of me."Clara." The familiar voice made me glance towards the door. Adrian stood there, hands buried in his pockets, brows drawn together, and poker face expression. I reached for a document on my desk and handed it to him. There was no need to exchange pleasantries. He glanced through the content of the document and his eyes widened. "What is the meaning of this?!" He exclaimed, bringing the document close to my face."What i

Clara's Pov Elena sprinted toward Adrian with excitement written all over her face, and her hands spread wide. They held each other in an embrace. This prompted the shocked reaction of the people in the hall, mine included. I'd thought they would hide their shameless acts when they were in the midst of people who knew my relationship with Adrian–that I was his wife. But, I'd expected highly of them. I clenched my fists by my side and approached the love struck couple who couldn't seem to look elsewhere than their eyes. In a bid to control my anger as the workers in the hall were already looking at me, confused at what was happening. “Excuse me, we have to go live now! The team is waiting for you.” I informed Elena who looked at Adrian with so much admiration, I was certain she did it to get to me. She reluctantly went back on stage and smoothened her dress, her eyes still pinned on Adrian's face. “Once we go live, there's no leaving the stage until you're done passing the mess
