The shopping mall

CHAPTER TWENTY ONECLARA'S POV “Good day, ma'am. I'm the right hand man of Mr Adrian, the person that sent you that document.” A strange man said over the phone. His tone sounded polite and sharply.“Okay, I saw the message and I've gone through it properly.” I replied softly. Holding the phone firmly against my ear.“I'm waiting for you outside now. So prepare because I'm taking you to the shopping mall instantly. My boss wants you to look nice for the press and arrival of the his wife family.“I'm coming,” I replied, before dashing into the bathroom to prepare. Seconds later, I was ready in my basic top and pants, I looked at myself in the mirror with satisfaction.When I came down, a tall looking handsome guy was sitting in the chair. Something looked familiar about him, I tried to remember where I met him from. Before he I could think further, he called out my name.“Clara Barton, it's time to leave here. There's no time to waste, you need to prepare properly for tomorrow.” He mu

A perfect family filled with lies

CHAPTER TWENTY- TWOCLARA'S POV The morning was bright, as the sky gloomed through the curtain. I placed the meal I made on the table, waiting for them to come down. Before I walked out of the kitchen I noticed Adrian wasn't in that site again, probably he went to sleep knowing we had a long way to go today.“I need my food,” Mira voiced from afar, as she walked down the stairs with her hair scattered across her face. My heart skipped harder, the more she drew closer to my direction.I placed the plate on her table, about to leave before she called me across.“Where are you going?” She questioned, eyes widened in suspicion.“I want to go and do my other task for the day. Mostly because I have an important schedule with your father today.” I expressed.“That's not possible. You have to watch me eat this full plate, so grab your seat and do what is needed.” She instructed, her voice was intensely authoritative. And for a moment I scanned her reaction, realizing that she wasn't going to

The publicity press

CHAPTER TWENTY- THREECLARA'S POV The atmosphere became more cold, as the room was overwhelmed with silence. Mira looked at everyone, no response, no reaction. Adrian winked at her and instantly she voiced.“My mother has been treating me so well. I barely felt my mother's death after my father married this woman. Therefore I really loved my father's decision to marry this woman.” She expressed softly, the woman scanned her every reaction. Indeed socialites go through a lot of investigation, as if they are being studied throughout their life.“That is indeed good. I thought your father was one of those men that would marry someone without consulting their children.”“My father is the kindest and sweetest man in this world therefore he wouldn't do such.” She said boldly, only her sentence swept the woman over the floor.“Now it's your turn Mrs Clara.” She said, turning to my direction. My hands shook suddenly, as I struggled to keep the glare with her.“How do you feel about being mar

The family trial

CHAPTER TWENTY- FOUR CLARA'S POV Despite the air conditioner in the room, everywhere became more tense and hot, as they stared at us intensely. Adrian didn't let my hands, his hands gripped on mine tightly.“I met the broken state of a man that was willing to start a new life. He wasn't easy to speak with neither was I but for friendship everything changed because we were destined to be.” I muttered, trying to clear the silence in the room.“That's nice my daughter. How do you plan to take care of my granddaughter?” The elderly man asked, as his eyes scanned my reaction through his glasses.“I will try my best ma'am, Mira is a very lovely child and I promise to treat her as my biological child.” I affirmed, tapping Mira's head slightly. Her face stayed unreadable, no response, no excitement instead she looked like someone that was irritated by everything.“That's nice, because the day we find out that our grandchild is being treated badly. We're going to sue for custody and trust me

Different questions struck

CHAPTER TWENTY- FIVECLARA'S POV “I married her without anyone's consent because I didn't want any form of delay. I was helplessly in love with this lady and we've started making plans already.” He expressed, I heaved heavily, just hoping that they would agree.The elderly lady folded her hands, unbothered, unreadable and not ready to be defeated. All I saw in her eyes was uncertainty and suspicion, as she sat like a rock that we couldn't crash.Her husband was even worse because his face was engraved with steel. The atmosphere became more tense, as a string of sweat flowed through my skin despite the Air conditioner.“My daughter, what is your husband's best food?” she questioned, instantly I turned to Adrian, but before anything could be said she instructed me to sit down beside her. This question wasn't part of the manual he sent, so we were thinking that the interview wouldn't be very long.But we've been in one spot for almost hours. I remained mute, trying to figure out her que

Caught in the act

CHAPTER TWENTY- SIXCLARA'S POV “Sit beside me, Clara Barton.” He snapped, placing his hands on the chair beside him. My heart skipped faster as I struggled to remain still on the couch. After I sat down properly, he stared at me like a pet he intended to break.“I'm so inquisitive about you this lady, you know too much about my family and I. I would be glad if you discuss how you know me that far.” He voiced, that striked me instantly. His eyes squinted, despite the darkness of the room, I could see the venom in his eyes.“I'm waiting for you Mr Clara. You have to tell me how you got all that information about me, the only thing I stated in that folder was how we met and how I proposed to marrying you.” His eyes widened, furrowing his jaw.I froze at a spot trying to escape his dagger-like gaze. We remained silents for over several minutes, no response, no reaction, just the heat ravaging within the room.“Woman, I'm waiting for you. I'm sure you know I had a tired day today and tom

Secrets in the same room

CHAPTER TWENTY- SEVEN CLARA'S POV We entered the room as I watched him lock his door with the remote. Despite being close to him I couldn't despair the letters or words of the password, it looked so italicized.“You can share the bed with me. At least rest till 8:00 a.m, today you're off your task till they leave.” He instructed, instantly I breathed heavily, signaling a sign of relief. I wished they could stay longer but that means I had to tolerate this man under his roof.“Okay,” I replied, moving further to the bed, I slept on the bed and the coolness clung to my skin. So this is what this man had been enjoying alone in this mansion.He entered the bed too, our bodies collided slightly together and I could feel the warmth ravaging through my thighs. Before I could breath heavily, he placed a pillow between us.“Don't cross these boundaries,” he instructed, his voice was violent, carrying the intensity that I could understand. That instant I closed my eyes and ensured I wasn't cr

Lies between family and powers

CHAPTER TWENTY- EIGHT CLARA'S POV Adrian held his daughter slightly, signaling her to stop the conversation but the little child just wanted to answer the question her granny asked her.“My daddy said Mrs Clara should carry out all the tasks as a punishment.” She voiced, her mouth sharp and was ready to ditch all our secrets in a plater of gold.“Punishment?” She muttered, her eyes widened as she waited for our response. Even the air conditioner of the room couldn't support the tense nature of the atmosphere.“Adrian, can you tell me why you would punish who you called your wife?” She asked again, intensifying the hotness of the room.He stood speechless, rolling his eyes in a 360°. My heart spiked repeatedly, as I thought of what could breach this conversation.“Ma'am, the first time I entered the mansion I didn't know how to perform any wife duty, because I came from a rich family and as the only daughter of my parents they didn't allow me to do anything.” I explained, observing t

Being allergic or kicked off?

CHAPTER TWENTY- NINECLARA'S POV I stuttered slightly, choking on the food I was eating. Instantly Adrian rushed into the dining hall, giving me a glass of water which I gushed immediately. “Sorry, my daughter.” She replied, the major reason for me choking, despite their overwhelming love I really hated how inquisitive these old people can be.“I'm fine ma'am,” I replied. “I'm just allergic to any discussion done on the dining table. Can I answer your question after I have eaten?” I pleaded, placing the next spoon into my mouth.She agreed surprisingly, the dining hall remained quiet throughout our meal time. The only sounds that were heard was the flickering of the knives in our plate as we stared at each other.The moment the dining hall was cleared I knew it was time for another interview. Adrian's mother in-law turned towards my direction, narrowing her eyebrows.“I'm waiting for your response, my daughter. I want to know how you managed to make such a delicious meal without you

The beginning of my revenge

CHAPTER THIRTY CLARA'S POV “Why are you on my towel?” He asked, still staring at me as if he just met a ghost.“I thought you said I should use your room while she's still around. You know that going to my bathroom while she's still around would raise more questions.” I muttered.“Let's be cordial for now, Adrian. I know you can't tolerate my presence, but just do it so we can get out from this mess.” I pleaded, sincerely. In-depthly I was fed up with all this drama, I wish it was that easy to destroy Adrian's family.“That's true, but still maintain your boundaries. I can't imagine a slut like you on my towel.” He muttered, his words struck hard on my eyes. I squeezed my hands into a fist but I knew this wasn't the underground hunt.“Those towels are worth a fortune of gold that you would never see in your life, even in your next generation.” He blunted out angrily, I passed him towards the closet.I put on a straight gown I got during the shopping mall period, placing it perfectly
