Clara was still into it again, that same mentality she had stuck her brain into—that it was Lucas’s fault—even though she knew it was all her fault. She just couldn’t accept the fact yet.One week passed, and soon news reached Clara that the Blue Stark company had taken a rebrand, changing its previous name to Silva Stark. Not only that, she also got information from her other companies that they were facing significant backlash in finance, and the companies might go into bankruptcy if care was not taken.Clara had a total of three companies. One of her biggest was Blue Stark, the company which gave birth to the other two. Now she was left with only two. Worse got to worse, after another week passed, she had to sell one of the remaining companies to another company at a very low price.It was really a bad time for Clara. Her Lamborghini, which was worth over two million dollars, was also sold because she had to keep up her lifestyle. The only things left were just the mansion and her

But even with this, Abigail had decided to see her at the bar—not willingly, but intentionally—so she could cut her off once and for all. She was a leech, and since the host had no nutrients she could suck from, she decided to fade her leeching mouth off her, just like the leech she was.Not quite long, Abigail could be seen coming in from the door. The moment she saw Clara, she faked a voice and a smile as she came closer:"Ooh goodness, Clara, do you want to get yourself drunk till stupor? Lemme have those drinks."She collected the bottle of alcohol Clara was holding, and instead of pushing it away, she served some to herself and another to Clara, then pushed the glass cup to her before speaking:"Enjoy more, Clara..."It was so dumb. But Clara, on the other hand, held back and pushed the cup away before responding. "I've been here for more than hours getting myself drunk, so I'm full, and I don’t need more.""Ooh, okay..." Abigail scoffed. She strolled her fingers over the tip of

Clara felt her legs shivering as the man spoke. Could it be that she was going to be raped—not by just one man, but four men—and they were going to take turns?Clara stood and tried to run but was grabbed by the shoulders and yanked backward. The next thing she felt was a striking slap across her face that sent her falling to the ground."What the hell are you thinking?" The man laughed. "Do you think we can just let you go without getting anything in return? Get set to pleasure us tonight, or we will force your body to do so."As the man grabbed Clara's hair and forcefully yanked her close to him, her ears closed to his mouth. He noticed the nose ring. The moment he did, he moved his fingers to touch it, and after realizing it was a diamond, he exclaimed in excitement:"Hehe… It’s a diamond! The bitch has a diamond and yet she still wishes to lie to us."The man turned to his colleague as he spoke, and their faces both lit up with excitement. They knew if they sold the diamond, it wo

Clara glared at Orion and stood abruptly. "Can’t believe you played me all this while. I’ve loved you genuinely."Orion scoffed. "Loved me genuinely, you say? Was that why you divorced your husband? That isn’t love. You were trying to get your way into my family, and you were fooled. My dad would never accomplish what he said he would do about the family share, you leech."Orion laughed darkly as he spoke, and Clara wished she could defend herself, but all Orion was saying was the truth. Annoyed, she stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Orion there with excitement.Clara was just so frustrated that she felt like the bad luck of life was evolving around her.Clara got into a taxi, and while in the taxi, she kept mumbling to herself as though she were talking to someone. When the taxi driver asked what was going on, she yelled at him. The man didn’t say a word after that, and soon he kept her at her destination and drove off.The next day, Clara went to her mother’s mansion to tell he

The location they were at was the beach, where different spots like bars and a lot of other things lay straight. It wasn’t like a resort, but something casual where people spent their leisure time.Not long after Ziko left, Clara was in deep thought when she suddenly saw a car parked in the distance. It wasn’t just a car—it was a machine, one of her favorite editions she had dreamed of owning. The name of the car was Rolls Royce La Rose Noire Droptail.This car immediately caught Clara’s attention. She gazed at it gracefully, and just then her eyes caught another sight from the car that left her utterly stunned, her jaw dropping like a slack doll."What… this can’t be possible," she exclaimed in astonishment.Who she saw was Lucas, her ex-husband whom she had divorced months back, stepping down from a car worth more than ten million dollars.What could he be doing in a car like that? Even though it wasn’t his, sitting his ass on a car like that gave him an aura of another level—or per
