Chapter 51 - Funny

Clara's Pov "Who is that?" I asked, tilting my head slightly towards her. "The granddaughter to the chairman." My eyes opened wide. Lu was in my office. Why would she want to see me? I wondered. I proceeded to my office, after instructing my secretary to stay back. Lu didn't show up during the relaunch, she never showed up at the office. So why now? I walked into my office and saw her seated on the visitor's chair, arms draped over the hand of the chair. Her face was a blank expression when she saw me so it was even harder to tell why she was here. I walked to my desk, dropped my bag on the table and settled into my chair. "Why are you here?" I started. She moved in her chair, arranging her sitting position. "I'm here for some money." She stated bluntly, not beating around the bush. Her expression was blank, like the entitled woman she was. I arched my brow, and she went on to explain. "Grandfather gives us money anytime we need more. He's in the hospital and you're in ch

Chapter 52 - Thinking about Clara

Adrian’s Pov I woke up to an empty bed and rumpled sheets in the spot that was supposed to be Clara's. I stirred, each spot of the bed I touched reminded me of what happened the previous night. How magical it was. How we claimed every spot on the bed and some spots on the floor too. I'd never seen my wife in the light I saw her the previous night, it felt like she was a different person and the only question that coursed through my mind as I took her was "how did I miss all this?"I had no idea she had a mole behind her left ear, I also didn't know her eyes turned blue when she was aroused. And her cheeks, cherry red. "Gosh." I muttered, dragging a palm down my face. My sheets smelled like her but they were cold, she'd been gone a long time. I strained out of bed and limped my way down the stairs. The maids greeted me with a knowing smile. They'd probably heard us yesterday. I cleared my throat, "where is my wife?" My voice came out hoarse as I asked after Clara, my eyes scann

Chapter 53 - Change

Adrian's povI turned my head towards the door at once. Another loud bang caused me to stand up and limp to the door. "Who is it?!" I called as I looked through the eye hole in the middle of the door. I stepped back and opened the door. "What is wrong with you Lu? Why are you banging on the door like a stranger when you can just open it?"She folded her hands across her chest, drew her mouth in a pout and brushed past me into the living room. She must've seen my plates on the dining table because she went over to the table and took a seat, her hands still folded across her chest. "What is the matter?" I asked again, exchanging glances between her and the door. "Where's Roxy?" The two never walked apart. They were always together, so seeing Lu alone was suspicious and very unusual. Before she could open her mouth to speak, the door was pushed open and Roxy strutted in, her stiletto heels made the announcement for her. Without a word said to either of us, she took the seat opposit

Chapter 54 - Unexpected

Clara's povAdrian acted strange for the next few days, knocking at my door early in the morning and asking me to help bathe him or help feed him. Most times, he would show up shirtless. One of the days, he showed up with a towel tied around his waist and soap suds scattered on his upper body. I'd turned him down, giving excuses like being busy with work or trying to calculate something or that I was about stepping out of the house. He didn't complain but I saw the way his face twisted with disappointment each time I turned him down. I did it for my heart, for my own safety. I couldn't let myself get lost in the mirage of his affection. What happened that night was... Just a mistake. One I didn't plan to make ever again. The plan was to get the marriage over with until things started going otherwise. Adrian wasn't as cold hearted as he used to be since that night, at least I noticed the way he stole glances at me that night his mother and sister came to report me to him. And the

Chapter 55 - Unexpected visitor

Adrian's povAfter weeks of trying to get Clara's attention, I was certain that she was actively avoiding me. She didn't even give me the chance to talk about that night and what happened. So I decided to leave her be until she comes around by herself. Not seeing her all the time helped me wait. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to wait around if I saw her every morning and night. My leg was healing fast. I wasn't limping like I used to before and I was able to walk faster now. Sitting around the house all day was going to drive me into depression so I decided to resume work. I would've gone back to my house as it would be easier to get my clothes from there, but I wanted to hang around with hope that I would see Clara again and have the chance to speak with her. To tell her that I loved what happened between us that night and I don't want it to be the last time. I sent my driver to my house to grab some of my Italian suits, my watches, shoes and ties. I got dressed for work and a

Chapter 56 - Bittersweet

Clara's pov"Th.. That can't be right, doctor." I stuttered, my heartbeat sounding in my ears. The doctor heaved a sigh before handing me a test result he'd kept in the pocket of his lab coat. "Well, have you been intimate recently?" I instinctively arched my brows at his question, almost shaking my head at his question when the image of that night flashed through my memory. My hands found their way to my mouth as it fell open. "Shit."Another sigh from the doctor as if he understood how I felt. Hell, I didn't even know how I felt. I just found out I fell pregnant for my husband who I want to divorce. "Do you need help telling your husband?" He asked again but I caught a grip immediately, shaking my head. "No no, I would.. Umm tell him myself." I peeled my hand from my mouth. He nodded. "Alright then. This is good news. You were only experiencing the early symptoms but you should rest as much as you can." He advised me but I wasn't following up anymore. I started into the wall

Chapter 57 - False hope

Clara's povI could still hear voices around but no one was in the hallway. As I got closer to the room Adrian slept in, the voices grew louder. I found the door handle, turned it and pushed the door open. A sharp gulp followed when I saw Elena in the room. Adrian, who was speaking to her with a serious face, paused when he saw me, his mouth half open.‘What did you expect Clara?’ I asked myself. ‘What did you expect to see? Of course he still loves her and she still comes to see him.’ "Never mind." I turned around, squeezing the paper in my hand but Adrian stepped forward, reaching for my hand and pulling me back. "No wait, Clara. It's not what you think." I turned, standing in the room with Adrian and his mistress. I didn't even know what to do. So I exchanged glances between Adrian and his mistress, a hint that I wanted to talk to him alone. Elena got the hint but drew a smirk instead and folded her hands across her chest to tell me she was going nowhere. There was no way I

Chaoter 58 - Distrust

Adrian's pov I was stunned. I'd never been this shocked nor have I been caught unawares like this before. I was still processing the news Elena shared when Clara stormed out. How..? What the fuck? "... Adrian?" Elena called, her voice sharp enough to make me shift my gaze to her face. She closed the distance, her hands holding my cheeks. "You don't have to be scared, baby, this is a good thing. This is just what we needed." I didn't say anything. I was lost for words. "Now, you need to come back home so we can talk about this. You love me, we can make this work.""Elena..""Ssh, you don't have to say anything. I too was surprised when I found out. That was what I've been trying to tell you but you wouldn't speak with me. This is our blessing. A confirmation that we are meant to be together." She continued, not giving me time to think. "But, Clara.." She waved her hand across her face as though waving the topic aside. "She never mattered in our lives, she will come around. Ju

Chapter 59 - Arrangements

Clara's Pov"Are you crying? Where are you Clara?" Kate's voice rang from the other side, I could hear the worry in her voice. She'd told me it wasn't a good idea to come back and stay back but I assured her I had everything under control. I was wrong. I had messed up big time. I just sobbed into the call, I didn't know where to start. Should I tell her about the pregnancy first or should I tell her about Adrian's hesitation? "Just share your life location. I will be with you immediately." She concluded as I was unable to form a word. I ended the call after sharing my location. I dropped the phone and cupped my face with my hands, sobbing quietly into it. My head hurt from all the crying but I couldn't stop myself. My heart hurt from the pain of constant betrayal. A knock sounded on the door a few seconds later, causing me to pause and listen. Kate wouldn't have gotten here so fast... I reasoned. Another knock sounded and just as I pushed myself off the door, it was pushed ope

Chapter 60 - Blur

3rd person PovClara spent the night packing her things. Not that she had a lot of things, but she was getting ready to leave at dawn. She sent a text to Adrian's company the previous night. She was going to expose the corrupt officials, give them something to fight about. Something big on their plates while she slips out without anyone noticing. She was glad that the old man would soon be up but sad that she wouldn't be here to see him bounce back.Meanwhile, after Elena left the mansion that day, she went to meet up with someone else. Someone who knew what was going on without being there in person. Silas. "How did it go?" "Went well, Adrian's confused. But I know he can't say no to me. Just give him some time and Clara will be forgotten just like before." He was not impressed with this. He wanted more, needed more. Something stronger. Something more permanent. "That won't do."Elena arched her brows, surprised at his words. "She knows too much. She's going to leak our iden
