Master Planner
She could admit that she also missed Lucas, she doesn’t know why but his aura and his sudden exposure made her wonder who exactly he was, though she now knows he is Derick Strom’s son but here lies the question, how?She never had the chance to ask him how he had suddenly broken through, from someone she knew him as an orphan, a scumbag, a wretched man, what had changed that had made him that all of a sudden.This thought left her baffled, as though she was left in a riddle to solve, though it was actually a riddle.Just as Clara was in this insane thought of hers that felt like her head was spinning over, she felt a phone ringing from one of her bags she had come with the first day she returned to the mansion.Clara stood abruptly from the bed, she could remember that Lucas didn’t give her back her phone, or could he have slipped it into her bag.She went to the bag where she had heard the phone ringing, zipped it open, and ok it was a phone, not hers, but someone else’s, this stunne
Tricky Slime
Could she be lying with all she had said, never have I expected that he could lend out something of such value to her, what kind of seduction had she used to trap him.Jessica was lost in thought at some point, staring blankly, and just then, Clara’s hands touched her by the leg and in that instant she snapped back.“Mum.. what’s the problem..?” Clara asked.Jessica faked a smile as she replied. “Ooh sorry, I was just thinking, trying to picture how lucky you were.” She placed her fingers on Clara’s cheeks and tugged it playfully.Clara shrugged her shoulders, with a smirk spreading across her face. “I’m now extremely rich, even more richer than before, I have gained ten times what I’ve lost and I don’t think I will ever go broke again.”The moment Clara did these words, Jessica’s glance lit up into a wide spreading smile, this smile not only contained greed but had also contained something more darker, as long as Clara kept the money coming to her direction then she had no problems w
She Was Stunned
Clara was seated, close to the pool, and beside her was her mum, Jessica. Clara had thought of something for the past three days where she had been in the mansion, she had never come across Morgan, what exactly could have been happening or could he have traveled.Though all this remained as a question within her mind when she finally forced the words out from her mouth. “Just wanting to ask, I haven’t been seeing uncle Morgan for some time now?”Morgan was a pain in the ass to Clara but then it was too obvious that she can’t see him for the past three days she had been around, he was unlike the kind of person that never lets go, like Jessica’s handbag.Jessica chuckled before giving a reply. “You know your uncle is a very busy man so probably he must have been at work by now.”“Work?” Clara, stunned, echoed the word. She had never once known her uncle Morgan of having a work or sort, and this startled her, when did he start becoming responsible.“Why did you look so surprised..” Jessi
Forced To Be Something Good
Clara felt like freedom again, she stared up, took in a deep breath before lowering her head down, she knew her mother would ask, but she doesn’t want to break the good news to her yet, even though she wants to, she won’t mention Lucas’ name inside it, it will be too overwhelming for Jessica to process it.Clara played along as she replied. “I made my way through as usual, and I got not just a car but two well profitable companies that is well known around the city.”Jessica fell out of words as she heard this, she had thought that Clara was nothing more than a pet for whoever, the person that had bought the company for them was, though Jessica never had the impression at first that James was the son of Derek Storm, the same thing applied to Clara, it’s when she got to the mansion that the impression came in, then only learned that the man called James who had bought the company from them is a filthy tycoon.“So you mean all that you are saying now?” Jessica’s eyes widened, disbelief
calling out
Clara was stunned as to why she was just so surprised, as though a news had spread about her that she was dead, though it was obvious to be so, because Clara was sealed, forced to stay in a concealed area for months, so it’s obvious for her to be assumed a non-existing being.“Mum... Why do you sound like I’m some kind of a dead Egyptian mummy who just rose from the dead after millions of years.” Clara frowned as she spoke.“Ooh goodness it’s really you...” Jessica took a step towards her. She had just confirmed that it was truly Clara and she wasn’t hallucinating, that rude character of her approach to situations had said it all.It was a reunion, Clara soon settled down, and she was now seated with her mother on the couch, the couch was dusty, looking unkept and not only the couch, the house entirely.“Mum... why does the entire house look unkept?” Clara finally spoke after a long while of keeping her words sealed in her throat.Jessica chuckled. “Ummm... It’s just that, ummm.”She
Calling In
Clara was silent this entire time, she was just staring. And just then the man called Bowen, stood up again. “It’s really a privilege having you here ma’am, I’m Bowen by name and I will be delighted to welcome you as the CEO of Bricks company.”Bowen knew how rich Lucas was, giving out a valuable asset out was something he will do more than a hundred times and still will have all the world to his self that shows how filthy rich the empire of Derick Storm was.Clara smiled warmly as Bowen spoke. The rest of the officials congratulated her new ownership with a round of applause.Just almost immediately, after this round of applause sounded, Lucas’ voice cut in. “So the new CEO of Bricks company, do you have any words you want to add?”Clara nervously stared at them, almost forgetting how to speak, and when she got back her lucence she cracked her throat before speaking. “Ummm... Ummm. It’s just that, I have, umm... I’m grateful.” Clara was stuttering, saying rubbish words that if checke
