Novel Claires 소설 & 이야기

"You're his assistant, Adrian? Could you please order drinks from the front?" Who was this woman? Clara stared at the exclusive VIP card she was handed. Owners Clarissa! Clara felt a sense of familiarity. She planned to search for her on Baidu once she had the card. 'No way! Clarissa is a gold mining entrepreneur and owner of a globally famous app. If that's the case, she's probably very close to Adrian.' After putting her phone away, Clara bought the best drinks in the cafe using Clarissa's gold VIP card and returned with three drink tumblers to the table where her boss was sitting.

She seeth, jabbing her finger into his face. Damien sighed and nodded in defeat. “Listen to me Claire. Just this once…” And I want you to listen to me too,” She replied, cutting him off. “I will not go anywhere with you until you give me a proper explanation. She refuse to be kept in the dark. “Fine. We are under attack.” Claire's brows furrowed in confusion as she looked out through the window. It was pretty quiet… in fact, there was no one in sight. “What do you mean? I can't even see anyone —”

Clarisse had no interest in playing games. She came to America with a lot of hate, revenge schemes and a whole lot to make sure the Cage’s pay for all the pain and hurt she had to endure, most especially, to expose Yvonne and she definitely will do that. But all that hate and pain had vanished from her heart. All she wanted to do was spend time with her daughter Hope and find a way to get her back. The last thing she needed was Nana Cage coming to show power and dominance over her like she used to.

I stared at the phone until the screen went dark, then hurled it against the wall. It shattered, pieces of glass and plastic scattering across the floor like the leftover of everything i had destroyed. Claire was coming back to New York. She was coming back as Alexander Hayes's fiancée, armed with success and confidence and the backing of one of the most powerful men in the world. She was coming back to destroy me. And God help me, part of me couldn't wait to see her try. Because maybe, finally, I would get to see the fire in her eyes that should have been there all along.

Nova didn't even seem to care if there were many invited guests watching her. “What the hell is this? How could Mrs. Nova defend Claire in front of all of Mr. Knight's important guests. Isn't she afraid of getting fired if Mr. Knight sees her beating up someone at the company party? Damn it! What kind of magic does Claire have that the secretary of the Golden Era would go to such lengths to defend her?” Alice's mind chuckled enviously. “Why are you defending Claire? Claire was the one who made a scene-” “Shut up! Looks like you really want me to break your jaw!” Nova's right hand grabbed Noah's jaw.

Nova still liked it though, and slept with it some nights. I remembered her asking me to look over it while she went with Gideon for what was only supposed to be a week. She had left it here, not wanting anything to happen to it. Claire was like a husk now, empty and vacant. The young woman who had previously been so vibrant and full of life, was now reduced to this shell. I couldn’t hire a better lawyer. One simply did not exist. That left only one option, other than starting a war I wasn’t sure I could win.

There's so much happening at once I can't keep it all straight. First Levi and his dead wife, then Zeke, my long-lost lover, the accident from five years ago, and amnesia… Cassie, the betrayer… Violet and her dark secrets. I can't. I can't. I fist my hair, sliding down the wall and huddling up on my knees. Don't think, Claire. Don't think. You didn't hear any of it. You don't understand any of it. You don't have to understand. Take it slow. Take it slow.

He instantly let go and she was on her feet and out the bedroom door. Claires feet dug into the wet ground as she ran. She was close to the lake. She hated coming here but it was the only place he never came to. She stopped just shy of the lake and turned. Hidden in the trees was a small fort Morgan and Claire built out of fallen trees. She ducked under the trees and sat on the ground. Seconds past that turned into minutes which felt like hours. Something was wrong. Morgan should have been here by now. Claire ducked out of the fort and cautiously started making her way back to the house. She hung back in the trees as she reached the house looking around. Where was she? She scanned the house

All because she was fucking the Alpha. The injustice of it burned through me like acid as I sat in my pristine apartment, staring at the company directory on my laptop screen. Claire White, Senior Research Associate, Eclipse Syndrome Clinical Trial Lead. The title mocked me from the glowing display, a constant reminder of how thoroughly she had outmaneuvered me despite my superior breeding, education, and connections. But Claire had made one critical error in her moment of triumph—she had underestimated my determination to see her destroyed.

**Clair's POV** I waited patiently in my mother's room for Tessa. As soon as I heard the door open, I quickly raised my gaze up, and to my greatest shock, it was none other than Tessa. We both went wide in shock when we laid eyes on one another. “My goodness! Is that really you, Clair?” Tessa asked as she ran towards me quickly.
