Clara Afton Real Life Novels & Stories

I miss you mummy — please stay there for some time, I promise I will come back successfully and make you the queen of my career. I reached out to the girl—who came for me. "Hey, this is me." I walked to the girl who was standing there, grabbing the banner of my name. "Are you Aurora Clark?" The girl muttered, pointing her finger at me to confirm my identity. "Yes, my name is Aurora Clark." I smiled, looking at her. She looks pretty with curly hair and there is a twinkle in her smile lips. "Hey, this is Rosie!" She smiled, downing the banner and wrapping one hand around my back.

This helped confirm the obvious: Clara was kidnapped. Since then, we've been using all the available footage to look for vehicles that match that description that could have entered that area. It's been a few hours, and we still haven't found anything useful. We are trying to look into other clues, but so far, we haven't had any progress. This person who did this must have hated her. I wouldn't doubt it if the same person orchestrated the accident. Who would want her dead that desperately? I was back at my house just outside the city; it had far more space, and I wouldn't get that much interference from work this way.

Tasha snapped. “I gave birth to her!” Clara yelled. “That’s my daughter!” “You also killed your parents and tried to make it disappear!” Tasha shot back. “Liam’s the only stable one left in this mess.” “I didn’t—” Clara started, then stopped. “I didn’t want to kill them. It wasn’t planned.” “So you admit it?” Vivian said, stunned. Clara closed her eyes. “I didn’t know the gas would catch so quickly. I just… I just wanted to scare them. Make them panic a little.”

Seeing her shake felt unreal. "What happened after?" I asked. Clara pressed her fingers against her forehead. "I spent weeks on the street. I slept behind shops. I begged for food. I was just trying to survive." She paused. "Then I met him." My breath caught. "Who?" I whispered.

Raffaele bends down to kneel near Daisy and whispers in her ear "she isn't dead" Daisy looks at Raffaele, confused, and then looks back at Penny who was covered in blood. "She is just unconscious. The blood is from the old lady she was with. I sent two men to get the girl and they had to shoot the old lady to get this little girl" says Raffaele but all Daisy heard was Penny was alive. She didn't even want to know who the old lady is or if she was alive but it was clear Raffaele was referring to penny's grandmother, Christine.

"Adeline, why are you hiding in the alley? Are you following me? Please don't hurt me again. I'm scared!" Mom pulled her closer and said firmly, "Don't worry, Clara. I'm here. No one will hurt you again." Clara looked at me, her expression uneasy. "Adeline, Clara is just scared. Now that you know she's alive, we won't hide it anymore. We told you she died because we were afraid you would hurt her again. But since you've been looking for her all these years, we'll let you come home. But only if you promise not to hurt her again," my mother said.

Both times the recovery had been thorough and I had come out the other side functioning and focused and privately convinced that the correct response to being burned was to stop walking near fires. That strategy had served me well. It had also left me alone in a penthouse with excellent windows and no one to eat badly made pasta with until a woman had sat in an interview chair and looked at me like she was seeing me clearly rather than performing clarity. Clara had not arrived in my life as a comfort or a convenience.

The truth has settled now, solid and immovable. Clara Mallon isn’t just a name in a folder. She’s Ryan Mallon’s sister and nothing about this case will ever be simple again. I have believed that for a long time, though he’s never said it out loud. I prefer facts, patterns, and things that can be traced and explained. But sitting there now, the thought settles in with bitter clarity. Of all the women in Houston of all the names, faces, chance encounters, this is the one I ended up with. Clara. Or maybe she ended up with me. I think, don't bother to clarify blame.

But beneath her face, the news channel had typed a horrible headline: CLARA SCOTT: THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR EXTORTION SCHEME. "The Carnegie family states that Clara Gilbert was a former mistress who left the city decades ago after a failed blackmail attempt," the reporter continued. "They claim she raised her daughter to carry out this plot, using a fake child and a fraudulent DNA test to steal the inheritance from Callum’s real children, Sebastian and Vivienne."

The caption beneath it made things worse. “Clara Harper publicly embarrassed after trying to seduce married billionaire Elias Ward.” Her face darkened immediately. “Who posted this?” she asked. Jeff’s jaw tightened.“That’s your concern right now?” Clara scoffed angrily. “They recorded me without permission!” Jeff laughed bitterly.“Unbelievable.”His voice rose sharply.“What were you even doing there dressed like that?” he asked Clara crossed her arms instantly. “It was for business.” Jeff stared at her then actually laughed coldly, “You expect me to believe that?”
