The Moment I Choose Myself

"Are you hesitating? Either you sign these papers or a divorce agreement. Make your choice, Clara." My husband's icy voice reeled into my ears. I looked at him from under my lashes, mouth agape. I had been reborn, and to the very moment that changed everything. Less than a quarter inch away from the tip of my pen was a donor consent form. In my former life I had enthusiastically signed it to save his first love, my twin sister Cassie. Afterwards I died of anemia. Nick, my husband, was the only one who could have saved me because we shared the same rare blood type. "Clara, your sister just came out of surgery and she needs someone by her side. If I donate my blood I'll be too weak to care for her, just be patient. I'm sure the doctor's will find a match soon." They didn't. And as I felt the life trickle out of me, I begged to see Luke, my stepson that I had loved as my own. A child that I had raised ever since he was a tiny newborn and his mother, Cassie, fled because she was no

The Return of the Woman They Understimated

Clara's pov "Clara, if we divorce I promise that you will never see Luke again!" A cold smile ran from ear to the other, curling my scarlet lips, "Who says I'm fighting for custody anyways? I'm kicking both you and your son out of my life." He was dumbfounded, I took full advantage and yanked my hand out of his grip. Not another word was uttered between us as I stalked over to the front door. Without wasting time I fished out my phone and booked an immediate appointment with my attorney. We met at her firm, she pushed up her thickly framed glasses when I said I wanted a divorce. "I don't mean to pry, but are you sure about this, Mrs Winston?" I chewed on my bottom lip, the doubt clouding her features made sense. For almost decade I had been more of a loyal laptop than a wife to Nick, all he had to say was jump and I would ask 'how high?' But not anymore. "Yes, I'm sure. Begin drafting the papers-" "Okay, but I'll have to warn you that the best case scenario will be 50/50 c

A Stranger in my Home

Nick's pov I grabbed her arm without warning and pulled her out of the room, throwing a look at Luke over my shoulder, that told him to stay put even without words. He pouted but remained inside obediently, Cassie's face folded into something complicated but understanding enough. "Are you happy now? What if that scene you just pulled worsened Cassie's condition?!" I blew up at her. Instead of her crumbling into an apology as she normally would she hissed in my face and continued the nonsense she was saying earlier like she didn't even hear me. "30 million, that's how much settlement I'm going for, and I'm not taking a penny less." My chest seized, "30 million?" I repeated back at her to make sure my ears were not tweaking. "I didn't mince my words, Mr Winston."she said to me hauntingly, "I gave up a promising career and some of the best years of my youth to cater to you and your son, don't you think that's the least I deserve?" "My son?" I couldn't just help with repeating ever

Reborn in a Five-Star Suite

Clara's POV The way his face instantly went white sickened me, it shamelessly told me that he still thought I was going to do his bidding, donating one of my most vital organs to someone who didn't even need it. What a joke I grabbed my cocktail really making sure to savor it. "You better figure something else if you want your mistress to live, not right here otherwise." I set the cocktail down and he just gave me a long stare, the login his eyes told me that he had about it doesn't other comments but he just accept them behind his lip and slithered out of my sight. Good, I should enjoy this pool at least once before I have to leave. But 2 hours later on a fresh glass Cassie showed up with Luke trailing behind her. He looked like he was about to run over to my side, but then Cassie thugged him on his arm. From the corner of my mind it crept back to me that Luke during this time in my past life had a super important homework that took a titan size of his grade. In my past life

The Moment I Felt Fear

Nick's POV She was gone A little part of me still believed that it was a bluff she would pull out of in the last moment, but she actually went ahead and did it. I had just gone to the office to wrap up some things, who knew I would come back and find every trace of her in our bedroom gone? My chest was burning from the inside, I was struggling to breath. I reached from my phone inside my pocket and began to dial her number like a maniac off the rails. Each and every call when straight to voicemail. She didn't even think of giving me one single response. The more I called her the more it feels like the ground beneath my feet was beginning to spin, how could this be happening? Could it be... that there was another man? That would explain her erratic change in behavior. She'd found someone else. Of course... Though I'm sure she doesn't love that affair partner half as much as she loves me, she must just be using him to buy time and make me jealous. A little sense

The Price of Betrayal

Clara’s povI woke within the week with a text from Nick, my soon to be ex-husband.“When are you coming back home?”I read it over and over again, then something between a snort and a chuckle passed through my lips.He still thought that everything I did was a bid for his attention.But I had already planned for this. I knew he wasn't going to let me walk out of the marriage with 30 million dollars, especially now that his parents' company was expanding. He couldn't lose such a huge amount without also losing their favor in the process.I sent him some very particular special videos and within minutes he was dialing my phone battery down with calls and voicemails that had his shaking voice begging for me to talk.A smile curled around my lips when I finally gave him a response through text, it was simple. It read; head over to this address that I'm about to send to you and you better not be more than 5 minutes late or else I'm going to post the video.The address was a place that I'm

When the Past Stops Working

Nick’s POVThe more I looked at the woman beside me the harder it was for me to believe that she was really the one I had married.It seemed almost impossible to believe that within a day I had thought that I had just flipped and taken a complete 180.No, I had to find a way to soften her heart.Perhaps I've been a little too cold recently, I just need to be sweet with her a little bit and she'll be wrapped around my fingers again like she never left.I tried to reach to touch her but she pulled away as if I carried a plague on my palm, that hit me like a blow right under the gut but I recovered anyways withdrawing my hand and placing it awkwardly back on my lap.“Clara…remember the day that Cassie left?”There was a flicker of something in her eyes but it passed too quickly for me to read it, however I gave it my own interpretation and kept speaking before she could interrupt.“Luke was just a newborn. I had no idea she was packing up and only received a text when she was getting on

Between Blame and Fear

Nick's POVPerhaps I went a little bit too far because my headmaid, Martha, looked like she was closer to crime than telling me what I wanted to know.I eased back my anger realizing that it was misdirected at her and straightened up trying to collect myself."Doesn't Cassie know that Luke is in the hospital? Where is she right now?" I said it's simultaneously controlling the tone and volume of my voice because what I had said earlier drew a lot of unwanted attention. The last thing I would want was for anyone to recognize me like this, panicking and breaking down.Miss Gale seemed to relax herself when she saw I was no longer yelling at her but was still hesitant with her words until she admitted that Cassie was actually at a club."She said that she was going to have fun and I shouldn't disturb her no matter what. I tried calling her anyways when it happened but there was no response from her... Maybe her phone went down." She concluded with that incredibly flimsy excuse and it took

Signed In Silence

Clara's POVI received a message from Mr Luther; "I'll be expecting you at the office by Monday, Miss Moore."At the moment I was just stepping out of the shower some of the steam was still rolling off of my body, a smile tugged at the corner of my lips and I responded by writing back; "Don't worry Mr Silas I will not disappoint you."This was an opportunity of a lifetime, I wasn't going to lose it again and waste my present life just like the previous one.Thoughtfully of my soon to be ex-husband he gave me the address of the hospital and texted it last night to me saying that when I was done acting uncaring I could come over.I smiled at the text and indeed I was going to come over this morning but not for the reason that he thought.It wasn't long after I was in the hospital holding a thick brown envelope under my grasp in order to reach him quickly I introduced myself as Nick's wife. That was a temporary truth and it was easier to just hand that information over for now instead of

Her Return , My Exit

Clara's POVIt was only for a split second but I saw it.The eyes of the same little boy I cuddled when he cried through the night.The eyes of the toddler who looked at me with all the other original in the world wrapped into them as he took his first steps towards me.Those eyes that looked at me as if I could reach the stars.It was also those same eyes that held me down like chains every time I even entertained the thought of the divorce.When everything else failed Nick was quick to use Luke to trap me."Go ahead! Leave abandoned our marriage! But like I said before I promise that you will never see our son again. And I'm going to make sure that even when he's an adult he still won't want to ever see your face."The thought of being separated from my precious baby boy would break any resolve I had to leave the marriage. I would remain perfectly still bending over backwards to make sure that I could wake up every morning and know that I could see him and hold him and call him my s
