Because You Re Mine Claire Contreras Novels & Stories

"I was so sure I wouldn't do this, D." Danielle frowned. "I don't like that tone, Claire. Have you already decided to go with it?" "I don't exactly have a choice, D." Danielle shook her head. "No. No, you can't just give yourself up to him because of some stupid contract you didn't read well before signing." Claire glared at her. "The contract is indeed stupid, but I read it very well before signing, thank you very much. The clause seemed inconsequential at the time. How would I have known it will come to this?"

The sales lady asked. "I want this!" We told the woman next to me at the same time and pointed to that watch at the same time. "Is this the BOSS Velocity Black Men's Watch?" "Yes!" I frowned because we were still talking together. "I'm sorry ma'am but there's only one left." "It's okay, I went first--" "What? Excuse me, Miss? I was the first--" My eyes widened when I saw who that girl was... "Oh my god! It's you, Claire!" She quickly hugged me and was still jumping up and down like a child.

She finally looked away from the mess. "I felt an aura similar to mine but I knew it wasn't coming from Antonio, so I left the cinema and came here, that's when I saw Claire. Her aura is like ours but different. Mine is violet, Antonio's aura is blue, they are both calm; but Claire's aura is..."

Claire heard the door open then closed. She looked at the door and saw that Vladimir was gone, but the contract was still there. “I won’t sign those papers! Hmmph!” After wiping away her tears Claire looked at him in the eyes and grabbed the contract from his hand. She searched a pen inside her bag but she couldn't find one, she looked at him again and saw pen on his coat. She walked near him and grabbed the pen. “Okay, I’ll sign it then.” Claire signed the contract without rereading it.

I did not sign up for this. Later that night, Claire sat in bed, absentmindedly scrolling through her phone. She saw a post about Gordon saving her. She got upset and kept her phone , so she reached for the contract on her bedside table. Something about it nagged at her. She flipped through it again, scanning each clause. Then she saw it. Her breath caught. A penalty f*e for early termination. A massive penalty f*e. Her stomach dropped. How did I miss this? She read it again, hoping she was wrong.

"Bakit naman ito ang pinagamit mo sa pagsundo sa akin dad? Nakalimutan mo po bang ako si Claire, ang simpleng empleyado ng Aries Entertainment? What if may makakita sa akin at..." " That's bullsh*t Mirasol Carlos Jose! Siyempre para mabilis kayong makarating dito, at mahanap si Brent! Anong mas importante sayo, yung anak mo or yang pagpapanggap mo bilang Claire Michaels ? " Galit na ito kaya hindi na siya sumagot pa.

Claire nodded and turned to face me. “What are you going to do? When are you going to leave? I also heard there will be an event, but it seems to be a trap.” I sighed as I returned her gaze. “The Madrid Enterprise?” Claire gave a nod. “It appears she is about to appear in front of everyone and introduce herself because her clone had already died.” It made me wonder if I would still take part in the event… If I interrupt my cousins’ plans, it will take me a long time to leave.

Claire took a deep breath as she said "That is because you do not know the kind of man Dane Grayson is" . . . TBC

I reckon. "You monster!" Claire growls at me. She pushes her chair back and reaches out for me. Her eyes flared with fury. Conrad and Eric were quick enough to hold her back. I raised my eyebrow in mock disbelief. I scoffed. "Are you serious? you really want to fight me because the last time I checked I almost beat you pup." I shake my head in disappointment. "It's so disappointing to be a Luna," I told her. "You." She angrily pointed her finger at me. "I will-"

“I never knew William was this rich.” “He’s the CEO of Parker and co pharamaceuticals.” Reyna said awkwardly. Reyna led Claire to the sitting room, pouring them each a cup of tea. "How have you been?" "Can't complain," Claire smiled. "Work keeps me busy but it's fulfilling." She worked as a child counselor. "That's wonderful." Reyna updated her on winery matters, glad for the easy conversation. They chatted lazily until Mia and Nate came bounding back in. "Mama, Aunt Reyna, come see my castle!" Mia said excitedly, tugging on Reyna's hand.
