Broken Vows, Rising Flames Chapter 123
Lydia’s POVI stopped immediately the words slipped from my lips. But the nail had already been hit to the head. Clara turned to face me fully, her arms crossed like she was bracing against a wind I couldn’t see.“What do you mean?”“The baby I’m carrying,” I said carefully. “It might not even be a match for Maurice.”She let out a humorless chuckle. “Everything was done to make sure the baby would be a match. That’s why we did the IVF. That’s why we chose you.”My nails dug into my palm. Why couldn’t she just listen? She doesn’t what to listen to me. She is desperate to desperate to get rid of the baby, that she can’t see anything past it. “But what if it’s not?” I pushed, even though every part of me wanted to stop talking. “What if there was a mistake?”She stood up sharply. “There won’t be a mistake. The doctors made sure everything was done right.” I sighed quietly. Same doctors who couldn’t even tell when the whole embryo transfer process was hijacked? How do I tell

Clara’s POVHis hand rested on the frame for balance, his eyes steady on me in a way that made unease crawl under my skin. I wasn’t even shocked at the fact that he was now able to walk. My concern was how long he stood there. Did he hear everything I said to the doctor? He took a few steps forward. Calculated and gentle, normal for someone who probably had gotten back their ability to work. He stopped in front of me, his expression unreadable. “What are you getting rid of?”He repeated again, like i didn’t hear him the first time. My composure was hanging by a thread. One wrong move, and I’d burst.“Just some old clothes,” I said, forcing the words out smooth, even though my pulse was doing something frantic beneath my ribs. “I’ve been meaning to donate them. I was on with a donation center about pickup times.”He studied me. He didn’t blink. It was the kind of look that made you feel like every lie you’d ever told was suddenly visible on your face. He placed a hand over m

Clara’s POVI didn’t remember the drive home. I was probably too much in my feelings to pick a thing from it except the long traffic. All I remember was slamming my bedroom door shut.I leaned against it and slid down against it until I was seated on the cold tile floor. I sat there, staring at nothing— my mind looping the same six words I told Damon. I’m getting rid of it. It’s done. Then the tears came. Subtle at first, but grew louder and more ugly with every passing second. I couldn’t hold it back, no matter how much I tried. A knock disrupted everything. “Clara?” Lydia’s voice, soft through the door. “Are you okay? I think I heard you cry.” I couldn’t answer. My throat had closed up around every possible word I could say. “Clara, please open the door. You’re scaring me.”Her voice came again, more urgent and laced with concern. I forced myself up and quickly wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. My hands were trembling as I removed the locked, pulling down the ha

Clara’s POVI arrived early to the cafe.Damon and I had arranged to meet at 8:00 pm, but I was there by 7:20 pm. Maybe, i was just too nervous to wait a bit longer before coming. And even as I watched people go in and out of the cafe, my hands were fidgeting nervously under the table.It was a hard fight.Myself against tension.While I was trying to remain calm, it was doing everything it could to make me go crazy.Occasionally, I would lift my gaze towards the large clock on the wall which was hanging askew in front of the cafe.8:05 PM.Damon was arriving soon.And right after a few minutes, the door opened.Damon walked in, looking a bit over dressed for a meet up at a cafe. Bro arrived in tuxedo, looking sharp and composed as always. His eyes scanned the room until they met mine, and I could see a smile forming on his lips.He walked over to where I was seated.“Hi.”I stood from my chair.“Hi.”I extended my hand for a handshake.He didn’t take it. He rather closed in and

Clara’s POV A nurse walked up to me, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.“You fainted, Mrs. Grayson.”Soon-to-be, but I wasn’t about to correct her while having no clue what happened.“You’re in the hospital. You’ve been unconscious for about thirty minutes.”I tried to sit up.She pushed me back down with the gentle firmness of someone who’d done this exact move a thousand times.“Easy. You need to rest. I’ll get the doctor.”I stared at the ceiling the moment the door clicked shut.My mind was blank. I couldn’t afford to let it wander anywhere I couldn’t control.The doctor walked in a few minutes later, clipboard in hand, wearing the kind of expression that told you something good was coming.“Mrs. Grayson. How are you feeling?”I sucked in a deep breath.“Weak….”She closed the space between us, placed her stethoscope on my chest, and put the two ends into her ears.Her expression was unreadable.“You fainted due to low blood sugar and dehydration.”There was a momen

Six weeks laterClara’s POVThe only thing that seemed to be progressing was time. Six weeks slipped by before I even noticed.My wedding was a week away.All I had to do now was keep pretending I wanted it, and walk straight into it anyway.Lydia sat beside me in the car, one hand resting on her tummy. You could tell she couldn’t wait to meet the tiny life growing inside her. I too couldn’t wait. “I still can’t believe it,” she said. “Seven weeks already.”“Time flies,” I said, eyes on the road. Deep down, I wished it could go a little faster. Maybe I’d wake up tomorrow, and it would already be five months.Her head snapped toward me. “And you! Just one week left.” She practically bounced in her seat. “One week until you’re Mrs. Grayson.”I’d never seen her smile so big. It was even surprising that I wasn’t even half excited as her. I kept my eyes forward and my smile glued on — the smile I’d perfected over six weeks of lying.I said nothing. Honestly, I had nothing to say.

Damon’s POV “You’re pathetic,” Camilla spat again, her eyes blazing. “I always knew there was something between the two of you.”“It’s not what you think—” “Shut up, Damon,” she cut in sharply. “Why were you trying to kiss her in that elevator?” Seconds dragged. I said nothing. She let out a h

Clara’s POVThe elevator dinged, opening to the hallway that led to my hotel room.“I love the way you handled everything, Clara,” Desmond said as we stepped out and made our way down the corridor.I paused, resting a hand on his shoulder. “It wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you.”“

Damon’s POV My words hung in the air, but for some reason Camilla didn’t look surprised— at least not the way I had expected.She let out a soft breath, the wooden spoon in her hand paused mid-air. Her gaze locked with mine, her expression guarded and unreadable like there was something waiting t

Clara’s POV Mr Salvador turned to face me fully. “Mr Damon stepped out to—” He paused as Maurice mistakenly dropped his spoon to the floor, which produced a clattering sound. Salvador and I turned to him as he clutched onto his food flask. “Sorry,” he whispered softly and lowered his face to the
