Clarissa woke up to the ringing of her phone which made her frown. Why was her assistant calling her all of a sudden and how many calls did she miss?“Hello” she pressed the phone against her ears.“Ma’am, have you already seen it?”Clarrisa raised an eyebrow, “see what?”Her assistant hesitated for a while, “a video is circulating online about you and ….” Her voice trailed off.“What happened, Ann?” Clarrisa was almost shouting.Just then her door burst open and her whole family entered. They all looked sad and scared, especially her mum who came to sit beside her.“What is going on?” She asked, “why do you all look so worried?”“I am sorry princess” Gerald said after a while, a look of guilt was hovering over his face.Now Clarrisa was very confused, “can someone tell me what’s going on?” She turned to her mother, “mum, say something”Her phone beeped with a message and she immediately picked up her phone and clicked on the link that her assistant had sent.From the beginning of the

This was the almighty Alexander chase and this was the press conference he was able to organize in just half an hour. Money and opulence was sure a good thing to possess.Alex cleared his throat and moved towards the podium, once he was done he bent himself towards the microphone and he began to talk,“Sorry for the impromptu meeting, this was organized as soon as the news of what my fiancé did got to me” Alex paused did a while, he was observing the sea of reporters in front of him and his lips curled into a sly smile, this was sure to be on hell of a press conference.“I would have naturally let my PR department handle this themselves but this involves my fiancé and I can not just fold my hands and let the public criticize her. She is here today to say what she has and I hope you all will
Gerald sat glued to his screen, he had an expressionless look on his face while his wife beside him and she had tears In her eyes.The way Clarrisa was suffering was something two of them were unwilling to accept, seeing the tears in Clarrisa’s eyes was unbearable for them.

The thing was, she was not going to let the person go no matter what.“The IP address actually came from a cafe downtown and when I asked the owner he said he had given it to a lady who badly needed it.“Did you get to know who the lady was?” Clarrisa asked in an irritated tone, her blood was boiling and it was boiling hot.Her assistant fidgeted for a while, she didn’t know if she should tell her the truth or not.“Say something” the angry lady in front of her bellowed, “this has caused me more harm than it should and I will not have you stand there and keep mum”“Bianca ma’am” she finally dropped the bombshell, “it’s bianca”For a moment, Clarris
Clarrisa disengaged from his embrace while having an expressionless look on her face, was he actually taunting her at this point?“Really?” Her eyes rolled as she talked, “your best friend gets all the nice compliments and I get nothing?
