Novel & Cerita Alice Clayton

Caleb said with so much bitterness. “Let’s go then, we’re getting late.” Claire said and held Alicia who sobbed. “It’s okay, you don’t need to cry now, Alicia. It’s going to be over today.” She gave her a comforting hug. “Ryan is a demon. He’ll come after me and my son. He has money and sources, Tristan. He will avenge on us.” Her fear came on the surface. “It would have after three decades if he stays alive by then. You can’t predict the future, Alicia. So, live in the present which is going to be changed today forever.” I said.

Graciously, Alicia stood up and shook Felix's hand. "Alicia, this is Christine. And Christine, as you heard, this is Alicia. The future CEO of Alpha Company," Felix praised. Alicia's smile was shy and hesitant as she shook hands with Christine. Beyond her expectations, Christine was much more mature than she expected. She was a black woman with short shoulder-length black hair. Her smile was sweet, especially as she wore red lipstick on her full lips. "This is my first time seeing the daughter of Lady Michelle and Lord Edward. You are very beautiful."

I called. The door opened slowly, and Claire stepped inside, wearing a gentle but slightly nervous smile. She held a tray in her hands. “Ms. Ali,” she said softly, approaching the bedside table, “I brought you some afternoon tea and biscuits.” I watched her carefully as she set the tray down. It had been a while since we’d spoken properly. And now… now I knew her true identity. She’s not just a maid; she is also part of the Astley Organization. “Thank you, Claire,” I said, offering her a small smile. “For finding me… so Alex could come and—well, you know—save me.” I let out a chuckle.

“Is that a crime?” “No,” I said, biting back a smile. “It’s just... unexpected. You know, with you being a woman and everything, I would have thought that you would be interested in different things.” She tilted her head. “You forget I was trained for this. I wasn’t meant to be a pawn in some alliance. I was supposed to lead. And me being a woman does not change who I am, Alpha Nolan.” There it was. That fire. That reminder that she wasn’t here because she begged to be.

Aliyah’s heart skipped. He was bringing his wife. Here. To this corner of the estate. To her prison. “Elena,” she said, her voice rising, “why would she be here?” “I don’t know,” the maid said honestly. “But if she’s here, it means he’s making decisions. And you should be ready for whatever comes next.” *** Mandy Perez was beautiful. Not just rich-woman beautiful. She had the kind of calculated beauty that screamed designer clinics, curated genetics, and a stylist with no conscience. Everything about her was flawless — right down to the gleaming white smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Her voice was cold, sharp, completely devoid of empathy. “That’s enough of this farce,” she sneered. “Daddy, are you really still trying to defend a girl like her?” Henry turned toward her, his brows furrowing. “Alice—” “The facts are already clear!” Alice cut in sharply. “The gossip about this scandal is everywhere. The Clayton family name is being dragged through the mud. And this woman—” her finger lifted, pointing straight at Emma without hesitation, “—is no longer fit to be part of our family.”

"Alice went to prison too. She helped poison you. Watched you die. Tried to steal from Ethan. She served twelve years. Got out. Transformed. Became different person. Works at women's shelter now. Helps domestic violence victims escape. Uses her experience with Lucas to save others. Strange redemption. But real. She'll never undo helping kill you. But she's using it to prevent other murders. That's something." "I built a family. Not just saved Ethan. Built entire family around him. Married Kieran. Gave Ethan father. Then had daughter. Sienna. Beautiful. Smart. Strong. Wants to be doctor. Pediatrician. Save children's lives. She's fourteen now. Brilliant. Driven. Everything you'd want in a dau

Otherwise i have to listen to many questions i don’t even know the answer of. “Shut up, you freaking like someone?” She asks again. I nod my head. “Oh my gosh I think I know who it is!” she says excitedly. “Its Toby isn’t it.?” “Toby Arnold, the guy who ate chalk in 6th grade.. The guy who licks his fingers when no one is looking. The one who confessed he liked me in front of my class by standing on the teachers table saying ‘I like ju Shummer’ Because he has huge braces on?” I ask. She nods.”No! shit, hes gross as hell. Even grosser than me.”

Charlie smiled and asked, “What kind of powerful and capable career woman is this that even my wife is starting to doubt herself?” Claire said earnestly, “The name of this powerful and capable career woman is Ashley Acker. She is an Oskian-American. Honey, have you heard of her story before?”

Chapter 11 – Silas The low hum of voices filled the dining room, but I barely heard them. My mind was elsewhere—still stuck on the girl sitting beside me. Hyacinth Clausen. It felt like a cruel twist of fate. The fiery woman I couldn’t forget, whose defiance had ignited something primal in me, was now... my stepsister? The thought gnawed at me. I tightened my grip on my fork, as if the pressure could drive the thought out of my mind. It felt wrong, unnatural, like some sick joke played by the gods to remind me of my sins.
