Clarissa Sat down again and I gave her the jacket to place on her own. "Thank you. Sorry about that. I've just got a lot running through my mind lately." Clarissa said to me. "And you can feel free to talk to me about all of that," I said to Clarissa. "I think it's best we just talk about business sir. That is what I came here for. I am sorry but I cannot allow any distractions and I have to ask you why you didn't come for the meeting." Clarissa replied. [The Vandelson mansion]Dean and Loki dragged the body down the stairs and to the living room after getting all the employees to leave the mansion. Mr Cooper stepped out into the living room with a smile on his face. This was the day he has always been waiting for. "It's time boys." Mr Cooper said and began leaving but stopped right at the door. He just recalled something. This a very important detail. "Loki. Dean. Where is the pendant? I hope one of you has it." Mr Cooper said. "Well?" Mr Cooper said and turned away from the
"How did the meeting go?" Zane asked Clarissa, who was just returning from Mr Walker's mansion and back to Zane's office. "It went well," Clarissa answered. "He agreed to set the meeting on a different date," Clarissa added. "Which is?" Zane asked Clarissa, eagerly waiting to hear her answer. "Next month," Clarissa said. "What the hell?! That's too far! Did you even try to negotiate with him?!" Zane complained to Clarissa. "Yes sir but he said if I want he could make it happen in two weeks but only if I go out with him," Clarissa explained and Zane only got infuriated. "Idiot! And you thought that a month would be better than two weeks of dating?!" Zane yelled at Clarissa. "This is business. I don't think my personal life should be gambled with. You've done enough of that so far." Clarissa said and received a slap across the face from Zane. "You are right about one thing, it's just business. That is the exact reason why we must do anything to be at the top. Call him up and say
"Not now. Wait till it gets dark and then you can attack us." I replied. "And make sure you do not forget to slash the tyres first," I instructed and ended the call. Surely, nothing will ruin this for me. I returned to Clarissa and Sat with her to have dinner. It was seven-thirty by the time the food was ready and we chatted as we ate. I got to know a lot about her because, surprisingly, she opened up to me. However, she wouldn't tell me anything about Zane. We were done by eight-thirty and Clarissa never knew how much time had passed. Just as Clarissa was about to speak, there was a loud gunshot and Clarissa began to panic. "What was that?!" Clarissa exclaimed. "I don't know. I will go out and check." I told her and proceeded to the front.Another gunshot sounded and Clarissa rushed at me and held on close and tight to my arm. "Don't leave me alone here," Clarissa begged me. "I won't," I assured her and slowly, we went out of the glass building together. When we were finally a
With me leading the way, we soon found a clear place to sleep. Clarissa Sat down and I gathered thick and wide leaves to spread on the floor separately for the both of us to sleep on. Without a word to me, Clarissa lay down and I too didn't speak but then straight to sleep. [The next day]I woke up to see that Clarissa was gone and I jumped to my feet. Where the hell did she go to while I was asleep?! "Clarissa!" I called out her name but no answer came even after I kept shouting. I searched everywhere and only found her when I returned to the same spot we were sleeping at. "Where did you go? I've been looking for you." I asked Clarissa but she didn't answer me. "Ugh!" I face-palmed myself and felt my stomach growl. "At least now I know I'm not the only one hungry. So, what's your idea to save us from this situation? A bigger forest?" Clarissa retorted. "So you went in search of food and failed," I replied to Clarissa and she scoffed. "Let's see you do better," Clarissa said to
[Clarissa's mansion] Zane paced left and right in his room, wondering where it was that he went wrong. "Clarissa still hasn't returned since I sent her out with Mr Walker. And even Mr Walker seemed to have vanished as well. What is happening?" Zane wondered and then left his room. "Since Clarissa is failing to pick up her phone, I will go to Mr Walker's mansion and ask his brothers about it," Zane said as he entered his car and sat behind the steering wheel. The gates were opened for him and he exited, heading straight for me Walker's mansion. After Zane made it there he parked outside the gate and went out of his car to ring the bell. A security guard opened the gate and looked him over, "how may I help you sir?" the security guard asked Zane. "I came here to meet Mr Walker's brothers," Zane said. "Did you make an appointment with them?" the security guard asked Zane. Zane looked at the security guard in confusion, "no?" Zane answered. "Why would I need an appointment to spe
Two days passed and I was still lost with Clarissa. So far we have gotten close and she has learned to open up to me. I, on the other hand, am very careful with what I tell her. "Walker! Walker get here! Come and see this!" Clarissa shouted. "I'll be right there!" I yelled back and ran to where she was. Clarissa was smiling and jumping happily. I looked to where she was pointing and saw that she found a road we could walk along. "Great! At last, we will be out of here in no time!" I said, excitedly and hugged Clarissa who ended up planting a kiss on my lips. I froze at first and she withdrew, looking embarrassed at what she just did. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that." Clarissa apologized. Before Clarissa could say a word more, I drew her in and pierced my lips against hers. She looked shocked by the time I was done. We walked together hand in hand without saying a word to each other. Eventually, a car came into sight and we tried our very best to stop it. The car stoppe
"Well? Tell us." the policeman said to Clarissa. Clarissa faced Zane and gave her answer to the policeman's question. "No. He did not kidnap me. What Mr Walker said was the truth. We only got lost." Clarissa explained. Zane looked as if he was just spat on. "How dare she go against me like that? Just wait and watch what I will do to you once we get back home." Zane thought to himself. "Well, I guess our job here is done." one of the policemen said. They began to leave without even rendering an apology and Blake called them back with just a few words. "Not just your job here is done but your job as a policeman is finished," Blake said. The policeman he was referring to turned around with a nasty smirk on his face, "was that supposed to be a threat?" the policeman asked Blake. "No. It is a confirmation." Blake replied and the policeman returned and stood right in front of Blake, challenging him. "Go ahead and do your worst. My boss won't fire me just because he was told to do s
I quickly walked down the stairs and stood a safe distance from Clarissa's room. As expected, my brothers followed me. "What is wrong with you three?" I asked them. "Nothing. We just haven't seen you in love before." Kevin replied. "I am not in love with anyone. That lady there was Clarissa Charles and she is my enemy. I thought I told you guys about my plans. All I have to do is get married to her and then I can use that as a means to reach the twins." I explained. "I don't know Trev..." I put my hand over Kevin's mouth before he could say my real name and I looked about. "Be careful with the way you speak," I warned him and removed my hand. "My name is Mr Walker and nothing else," I added. "Alright, Mr Walker. I was only going to say that what we witnessed did not look anything like acting. Are you sure that you are not catching feelings?" Kevin asked me. "Me? Catching feelings? Any other option would be better than Clarissa." I retorted. "I don't know..." Blake said. "Seems
