A dangerous fire

Chapter 41The heavy glass doors of the balcony clicked shut, locking out the howling wind and the rhythmic drumming of the rain, but the silence inside the master bedroom felt twice as heavy.Lucian carried Chloe towards the edge of the bed.There, he laid her taking in her fragile nature.She didn't fight him off but rather knotted her fingers around the soft fabric of his suite jacket.He looked down and noticed the stark smear of blood across the back of her hands.Clearly a result of her own doing.Lucian's gaze darkened."Get the maid" he demanded Jarry who stood some distance away.In a matter of some minutes he returned with a girl fully dressed in a maid's attire.She offered a quick, anxious nod as she stepped into the room."Bring me a bowl of warm water, clean cotton, and the antiseptic ointments" he ordered her.With this, she left only to return with the said items.Gently, Lucian took hold of Chloe's fingers which he pried away from his suite.A meek, broken cry escaped

Fierce retaliation

42Early the next morning, I had woken up to the sound of doorbell which woke me up from my quiet reverie.With slow, groggy steps, I approached the door but on Pulling it open, I found the porch completely empty. The morning air was still, but resting on the ground was a lush bouquet of flowers.Blood-red roses to be specific.No name tag was attached. There was nothing but a crisp white card written in a in elegant cursive 'I'm sorry' I read.Bruno had earlier informed me about the sudden delivery of bouquets at my doorstep but there was no name to who actually brought them.The only person in mind was actually Lucian.Perhaps this was his way of apologizing to me and trying to get in touch.It was really unlike him to be honest but lately, his attitude seemed to have changed.With a scoff spilling from my lips, I tossed the flowers into the bin.His words from last night replayed in my head like a siren.'I want to see you in my office first thing tomorrow morning.DON'T FORGET W

The saviour's mask

43And where do you think you're going?" He asked."TO MY OFFICE NOW" He ordered.The heavy tension had already dispersed.And with Chloe gone, Lucian walked past me walking towards the elevator. No one needed to tell me that he wanted me to follow suite.The silence inside was suffocating, unnerving and thick with tension almost like a death sentence to many but not to me.On the silvery walls of the elevator was my blurred reflection which could be seen.With a ding, we arrived, stepping out we made our way to Lucian's office.The heavy mahogany door of the CEO’s office clicked shut behind me, instantly cutting off the residual murmurs.He had walked up to take his seat, his gaze burning into me.I didn't move past the threshold. I stood tall, my arms crossed over my chest, clutching the Project BLUE DIAMOND folders."What was that?""Exactly what you saw" I didn't hesitate as I spoke smoothly, keeping my voice devoid of any emotion."Clarissa,you scalded an employee of this company

Shattered illusion

44"MUMMY LOOK DADDY IS BACK!"The words pierced through the quiet of the apartment like a physical blade, freezing the blood in my veins.Daddy is back.William.He stood tall staring back at me with those same eyes that seemed to sometimes pull me in.His eyes, sharp and calculated, soft and intensely focused on me."Clarissa..." He called with a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.He was the very same person I had called countless times.Texted multiple times but got no answer from.Not even a hello or an explanation of why he left.Sophie's smile brightened as she smiled at William. Her gaze from from William to me."Aren't you happy mummy?" She asked."So he's the one you wanted to eagerly show me""Uh-huh" she nodded.Giving a slight cough I spoke."Sophie could you go to your room. Mummy would like to talk to Daddy for a sec" I said for a scowl to form on her face."But I want to talk to Daddy more""I know honey..." I said but was interrupted when Bruno stepped for

When the past comes knocking: Clarissa's ruin

Chapter 45"Let's get divorced Willam"The word hung in the air, heavy and lethal.Divorce.William stared at me with those orbs of his, the first aid kit in his hands fell to the ground with a thud.His lips parted to speak but no words left his mouth until finally."Divo... Divorce?" He stuttered seemingly shocked at my utterance.The velvet warmth in his eyes completely vanished, replaced by a stark, hollow shock."At least this way you are free to do whatever you like""Clarissa do you actually mean that? After everything we've been through"I interrupted, my voice surprisingly steady despite the rapid pounding in my chest."I don't get why this is coming as a shock to you.It is bound to happen. Someday. But I don't want Sophie to get hurt. I don't want her to be in deeper than she already is.She values you a lot William""You'll break Sophie's heart" said William."Her heart will break either way. Sooner or later it will. Better now than later""You're angry. I get it""Honestl

The crime I committed

Chapter 46A video that showed when I MERCILESSLY STABBED LUCIAN!!!It was at this moment, everything went down hill.My entire body went rigid, lungs felt flat, refusing to take in air. The room spun violently, like the walls closing In on me as scenes from that night constantly replaying in my head.Five years ago. Rain pouring down. The metallic taste of fear in my mouth. And the terrifying sight of my own hands driving a blade into Lucian’s chest.Yes I had every intentions of ending a life that day but the aftermath struck me like a heavy bowl of lava as guilt washed over me.When I ran away from the hospital with my child in my arms in a pasture for a better life, I was deemed mentally unfit even going as far as hurting my own self.Bruno had witnessed my episodes several times in the past.He had requested I visit a therapist, had even brought out time to pick the best for me all of which I had rejected.It wasn't until I had unintentionally tried to murder my own baby, the ap

In too deep

Chapter 47"YES. I DID IT" I uttered.My confession sliced through the air.The silence that followed my confession was heavy, suffocating, and absolute.William didn’t yell. He didn’t rage but Instead, he just stared at me, the color draining from his face until he looked like a ghost."What?... Wh... Why?" He stammered.Disbelief clouded his face."Why would you do something like that?"The desperate hope that had been lingering in his eyes fractured, replaced by a raw disappointment.This cut deeper than any of the venomous whispers from my coworkers."I was drowning okay? Lucian had put me through hell.I thought... I thought everyone was against me. I thought they had plotted to ruin me" I said my voice now turning to a whisper."I had thought that was the only way""Why didn't you tell me? You told me everything, your pain, your sadnesses. So why hide this? When the news broke this morning, I nearly broke a man's jaw for calling you a monster. And now...""I know you must be d

Burn it all to the ground

Chapter 48"MA'AM CLARISSA WAS ATTACKED TODAY""What?!" Exclaimed Lucian, his eyes went wide on hearing this news."What did you just say?"The words left Lucian’s throat not as a question, but as a low, dangerous growl."What happened?" He asked."She was attached right outside the company's premises. A by stander had watched the incident and reported the situation. She’s been injured. There’s blood.Currently, she's on the way to the hospital" Jarry reported, his voice tight as he spoke.For a moment, everything's stilled.The air in the study room, already thin with tension, completely froze. Mark didn't dare breath and Jarry, he did dare utter another word.They guessed this was what they meant when they say the calm before the storm."What hospital?""City central hospital" A huge scowl formed over his forehead, a dagger like gaze was thrown Mark's way making him ultimately weak in the knee."Mark" Lucian said, his voice dropping to a terrifyingly calm whisper that was far worse

Make me a villian

Chapter 49As silence enveloped the hospital room like a skin, I laid on the bed and from the open window, the sun sat there shining brightly into the room cause my eye lids to flutter against the piercing glare.Slowly but gently, it pulled open revealing my hazel eyes.Every muscle in my body felt as though it had been hit with a hammer but the sharp, throbbing ache in my left shoulder was the worst of it.The white ceiling came into view and not before long sounds from somewhere beside me was heard.It came first as a heavy scraping sound of metal was was quickly accompanied by hurried footsteps."Clarissa" Williams voiced called out to me.His figure was a blur at first but after a while I could clearly see him."What... What happened?" I asked trying to seat upright only for the sharp pain to shoot through my body forcing me back down.A loud gasp leaving my lips."Hey, hey. Easy now. Don't try to move yet"My head turned slowly towards him, winces wrinkled my forehead. Willia

Shield in the dark

Chapter 50"IF YOU WANT A VILLAIN ON YOUR FRONT PAGE TOMORROW MORNING... PUT ME" I heard him say.No, more correctly, the whole world heard him.Immediately after his announcement, the TV went blank as Bruno turned it off after the declaration was over. It's dark screen staring at me right in the face.The silence that enveloped the room was deafening.Apparently, Bruno and I was stunned by this sudden information and for a long time, neither of us spoke."He confessed" Bruno uttered, his voice breaking through the silence.My hands fisted against the hospital sheets as it's fabric crushed beneath my grip. "Clarissa" Bruno’s voice broke my quiet reverie.Finally my gaze shifted from the screen to Bruno who walked over to the side of the bed and on his face was a mix of disbelief and caution."Did you... did you know he was going to do that?""No. I had no idea" I uttered my voice coming out in a whisper."He revealed the truth and in doing so he ruined his own reputation" said Bruno
