[Later in the evening, At Zane Murray's mansion.]

Just as Zane Murray sipped his expensive wine, his doorbell rang. Zane waved away the maid which had brought him the wine and he remained seated on his sofa, while he stared at the wine bottle in front of him.

After a few minutes, another maid of Zane's enters. "Sir. There is a woman here to see you." the maid said to Zane.

Zane set his wine glass down on the glass table in front of him and then relaxed his back on his sofa, "and her name?" Zane asked the maid.

"She didn't say." the maid answered Zane.

"And you asked her already?" Zane questioned.

"I asked but she refused to tell me." the maid replied Zane.

Zane smiled to himself. He knew very well, who it was. "Tell her to come in," Zane instructed the maid and she left.

After some time, the maid returned with a lady behind her. Without turning his head, Zane spoke to the maid, "leave us." Zane's maid left and a few seconds later, Zane turned to see that just as he expected, Cl

    [At the Charles family mansion]I feel so exhausted and at the same time, angry that I got nothing done in the end. This made no sense to me. How come nothing was incriminating in Clarissa's room despite the kind of person I knew she was? She must have dipped her hand into something illegal at some point. Or is all the secrets kept in her parents' room? That damned butler locked the door before I could get in and now that I'm done with the mopping, it's already dark. Mr and Mrs Charles will be back soon and so will Clarissa. I blame this error on myself. I should have begun from the top in mopping instead of going straight to Mr and Mrs Charles' room and getting the butler suspicious. I stood up from the floor and went outside to get rid of the dirty water. I was doused in sweat and smelled horrible. After getting out of the house with the bucket, I approached the gate but the security man stopped me. "I just want to get rid of this dirty water. Nothing else." I said to him. Th

    I walked around the maze like a mansion in search of a spot to sleep. I stopped at a wide space and decided to sleep close to a wall. Of course, I had no blanket to wrap myself in and no sheet to protect my skin from the deadly cold floor but I had no choice unless I was going to sleep on my feet. I lay down and my body shook as my skin came in contact with the floor. I don't know how but I managed to fall asleep despite the cold... [The next day]I felt myself away but my eyes were still closed and I was still, I'm some way, asleep on the floor. Someone was kicking me and that was what brought me fully away. I opened my eyes just to see a maid standing over me. As soon as I got up, the maid left and I didn't know what to do. What was that all about? Did they send her to me or she was checking if I was alive or dead? Either way, now I'm awake and I have to get back to my employers' sight. I walked back to the living room and there I saw that Mr and Mrs Charles were standing right

    "I think your houseboy is already enjoying the show anyhow," Zane stated. Clarissa looked up and saw me. She instantly stood up and kept the tray on the table and glared at me. It was only at that moment that I realized that Clarissa was in a maid's uniform. A very short one. I was so busy enjoying her suffering that I didn't even notice it at first. I am very sure that it was this Zane guy that made her wear it. But what is he holding over Clarissa that is making her bend to his will? "I thought I told you to clean the bathroom upstairs," Clarissa said to me. "Calm down baby. Just sit down a little." Zane said to Clarissa. He was tapping his lap, which meant he wanted Clarissa to sit on his lap. Clarissa looked angry, embarrassed, and helpless at the same time. She sat on Zane's lap and he made he relax on his body while Zane placed his hand on her left thigh and slowly slid his fingers upwards while glancing over at me. I decided that I had seen enough. This wasn't something I

    Zane met the butler outside after he was signalled by the butler to follow. "Did you find it?" Zane asked the butler. "No sir. I searched their room thoroughly but found nothing." the butler replied. "What the!... Then what did you call me out here for? Keep searching damn it! I'm sure that they have it. If only I could get my hands on it then it would be a huge bonus for me." Zane said to the butler. "But sir, I've been trying my best. I have searched everywhere but there was no trace of it." the butler replied Zane. "Then try harder old man. Or else you know what will happen if you keep giving me these dumb excuses. You know what I can do." Zane threatened. "But sir I have tried my best but no luck. Please don't harm my family. I will do whatever you say. I will keep searching." the butler begged. At the same moment when the butler went to his knees, Clarissa walked through the front door and met the scene. Seeing that Clarissa had spotted him, and in order not to raise susp

    [At a celebrity's birthday party]Clarissa Charles and Zane Murray arrived in their limo. Zane was the first to step out and held the door open for Clarissa. Clarissa came out of the limo, dressed in a glittery white dress. The paparazzi were not allowed to go into the building where the party was taking place but they still stuck around to take pictures of whichever celebrity would walk in. When they saw Zane hold their hand on Clarissa as she stepped out of the car, they rushed at her. Luckily for Zane and Clarissa, bodyguards were made available for them and the paparazzi were not allowed to come in contact with them. Many cameras flashed at the two and they acted as if they didn't want to be taken pictures. "But where is her husband? Why didn't she come with him?" someone said. "And this man. Isn't that Zane with her?" another said. "If I remember correctly, they were once dating each other years ago." the third said. "Mrs Clarissa! Are you still in love with your ex?! Does

    To Clarissa's surprise, Zane went straight to his room without a word to her. Clarissa sighed in relief, "maybe he's going to let me off this time." Clarissa thought to herself. Clarissa climbed up the stairs and entered her room. She fell backwards unto her bed and tried to relax. Clarissa Sat up and looked at her door, "thankfully, he let me go." Clarissa said to herself and stood up. She closed the door and then went into her bathroom. Zane, in his room, still remembered the audacity of Clarissa at the birthday party, "if she thinks she got away with it then she is deceiving herself. It's a good thing that men bathe faster than women who seem to take an eternity to get done." Zane said. Zane too got up and went to have a bath. He finished up, and still wrapped only in a towel, he left his bedroom and went to Clarissa's bedroom. Zane laid down on Clarissa's bed and waited. "If she wasn't here that meant that she entered her bathroom." Zane thought. Soon after, Clarissa came o

    [The next day]Clarissa woke up in the bathtub. All her body hurt and she could hardly move her legs. Zane had gone too far with her last night. All of a sudden, as if just getting her senses, Clarissa felt water all over her body. She realized that the bathtub was full and while turning her head slowly to the right, she said a silent prayer that she would not see Zane. Unfortunately for her, her prayers did not get answered. Zane was there in the bathtub with her and covered in foam. Clarissa's lips moved as if she wanted to say something but even her lips hurt and she touched her lips with her fingers. Zane made sure that he enjoyed her until the extent of making her a mess by morning and he succeeded. Zane grinned, "you are away. Took you long enough." Zane said. "That twisted psychopath..." Clarissa thought to herself. She wanted to cuss at Zane but couldn't, fearing that what happened last night would repeat itself. Zane got up and left the bathtub right before Clarissa's e

    When I was finally out of Zane's view, he left. I got the coffee that Clarissa asked me for and I returned it to her. "Your coffee is here ma'am," I said to Clarissa while standing in front of her bedroom door. "Come in," Clarissa said to me. I opened the door and walked into her room. Clarissa was such a mess and locked like a hurricane blew passed her in her sleep. I almost asked her what the problem was. "Leave it in my drawer," Clarissa said to me. I did so and was about to leave but heard her calling me back. "Hold on," Clarissa said. "Is Zane down there? I mean, was he waiting for me or asking for me or something?" Clarissa asked me. The question confused me and even Clarissa noticed that. Clarissa waved her hands in front of me, "just go. Go." Clarissa told me and I did as she said. I went ahead to look for the butler and after a while, I found him in a room. Come to think of it, I never knew which room was his. This one is rather small compared to the other ones. His d

    Clarissa arrived at the given address and stepped out of her car. She examined the appearance of the building with her gaze and went ahead to knock on the front door. The door was opened by the same doctor she was looking for and on recognizing Clarissa himself, the doctor made to shut the door as quickly as possible but Clarissa shoved him back. "So you did the entire thing on purpose?" Clarissa asked the doctor. The doctor parted his lips but no words came out. "Forget it. I have no time for this argument. Where is the result of the DNA test?" Clarissa asked the doctor. "I don't have it with me. I left it in the hospital." the doctor replied. "You son of a... " Clarissa's voice trailed off. "Get into my car right now!" Clarissa ordered. "I need those results right now!" she yelled. "There is no need for me to come with you. Do you want the result? I make a call to get it to you." the doctor replied. "Make it quick," Clarissa said to the doctor, right after she gave him a sh

    [The next morning]Clarissa woke up in my bed while I was still asleep. She left my room and went into hers. After taking her bath and getting ready, she dressed up and left the mansion. The only thing that Clarissa had on her mind was the DNA test and she couldn't wait to get it and show it to the twins for them to do the comparison. Clarissa arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the doctor's office. She tried opening the door but it was locked. A nurse was passing by at that moment and Clarissa stopped the nurse to make inquiries. "Good morning ma'am." the nurse greeted. Clarissa ignored the greeting from the nurse and went straight to the point, "where is the doctor that usually stays in this office?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "Today is his day off so he's not going to come here for work until the next day." the nurse answered Clarissa. "Do you know where he lives?" Clarissa asked the nurse. "I am sorry ma'am but this hospital follows strict rules. Such which inclu

    "Oh, it makes a whole lot of difference because I do not want that to happen," Clarissa replied to Dean. "Hm. Hand what are you planning to do about it? Stop us? How exactly do you want to start that out?" Dean mocked Clarissa. "I can give you what you long for the most," Clarissa said to Dean."And what is that?" Loki asked Clarissa. "You may not know it but we are getting a good reward from Zane, that is after we succeed in what we were sent to do. Nothing you say could be any better." Loki added. "And I am sure that what Zane offered was not money. It's something else which I am yet to find out." Clarissa replied Loki. "You better keep your nose out of our business Clarissa. You know very well what we are capable of." Dean warned Clarissa. "Uuu, I'm so scared. Someone come and help me." Clarissa said to Dean in a mocking tone of voice. "I didn't come here to discuss what Zane offered the both of you but what I can give you two," Clarissa said. "Just go straight to the point

    I waited for Clarissa's response would be and my heart kept pounding fast each second I waited. I just confessed to Clarissa that I loved her. The same woman that made my life miserable in the past was the same one I fell in love with and I still can't comprehend how it happened. "I don't mind if you say no but please don't keep me waiting this long," I begged Clarissa. "Walker... I... I love you too." Clarissa said to me with tears in her eyes.I felt like a heavy burden just left my chest the moment I heard her voice. She loves me too. I couldn't contain myself anymore and I embraced her, lifting her and spinning around with her. Clarissa was shouting for me to stop while she laughed at the same time. I stopped and put her down. "You don't know how happy you have just made me," I said to Clarissa. "Thank you, Clarissa. And I'm sorry for fooling you the way I did before." I said to Clarissa. "It's all in the past now Mr Walker. I forgave you long back." Clarissa replied to me a

    I returned from the restaurant with Clarissa. She was so happy throughout even until we reached home. I couldn't believe this was the same person I was who had hated her in the past. Why was I fast falling for her? "Um... Walker? Why aren't you coming in?" I heard Clarissa ask me. Her voice brought me back into reality and made me realize I had gotten lost in thought and had stopped at the door. "Oh! Sorry about that. I kind of zoned out there." I told Clarissa and walked into the mansion. "Hey," I said. "Yes?" Clarissa answered while turning to face me. I thought about it again and again. Maybe I should tell Clarissa about my feelings for her. But what if she tries to take advantage of me through it? What if she doesn't feel the same way at all?The last thing I would want right now is a one-sided relationship..."Sir?" Clarissa said. "Hm? Nothing. Never mind that. Just go to your room." I said to Clarissa. Clarissa turned to leave but quickly turned back to me. "Sir... Um...

    I caught the fist and kicked the strange person's second hand when I felt it coming at me. The stranger shouted in pain and I dragged him out of the darkness only to find that it was Zane. "What the...! I thought I told you to stay away from me and my wife?! So you do not know what a restriction order is?!" I shouted. "Come out with my wife!" I shouted to the men I knew were still in the darkness. Two men stepped out, holding Clarissa and one of them had her mouth covered. "Run now that you have the chance to do so," I told those two men. The two men looked at Zane and then at each other. After a second or two, they took to their heels. I punched Zane square in the face and he fell to the ground. He sat up with a bleeding nose and blood leaving the corners of his lips. Zane looked at me angrily but he did and said nothing. After Zane was finally gone, Clarissa jumped into my arms. "Thank you so much!" Clarissa said to me as she cried on my chest. I patted her on the back. "Ever

    What the hell?! Dean?! Why would he so openly send men to search this mansion? And judging by the time the phone call had happened, Dean called right after I left his mansion. I looked through the rest and it wasn't difficult to discover that they were not able to find what they were looking for. But what was it that they were searching for? Dean is on to me for something but I'm not sure. Is he after me as me Walker or... Is he after me as Trevor Vandelson? I knew I had to be careful in whatever step I take from now henceforth. [Eight o'clock, the next day]I looked at myself one last time in the mirror after making sure that my tie was made properly and neat. I left my room and was about to leave when I suddenly remembered something. What better than to take my wife with me? It's a party after all. I went into the laundry room where I knew she would be by now and she greeted me the moment she saw me. The punishment I gave her by making her my maid and cleaner humbled her after

    "Of course, we are friends me, Dean. That's why I'm going to cancel the meeting and attend your party." I said to Dean. "Wonderful. I'll be expecting the best out of you. It's not a party for the poor after all." Dean told me. I clenched my fists in anger, remembering how I was treated in my past life. No matter how my anger was, I never let it show on my face. I relaxed my hands and smiled, "I'm not a poor man so, you should indeed expect the best." I replied Dean. We shook hands and I left his mansion and entered my car. "Where to Sir?" my driver asked me. "My home," I answered. While the driver was driving, I couldn't help but let my mind trail off. What was all that for? This was supposed to be strictly business. I know I planned to be close to Dean and Loki Vandelson but they're offering my friendship on their own is suspicious to me. Do they suspect something? But how would they?

    I continued with the workload I had in my office and my phone rang. Probably, my brothers are calling to check up on me. I checked for the caller and instead of the name of one of my brothers being on it, it was a call from an unknown number. I answered the call and I recognized the voice speaking. "Good day me Walker. This is Loki Vandelson speaking." Loki said to me. "Happy to be hearing from you Mr Loki," I replied. "I called because of your partnership offer. Says in the documents that you would like a merge between our companies." Loki told me. "Yes. I made sure to do some research on your and your brother's companies. compared to others, yours are the best for the merger." I replied. "So what do you think about it?" I asked Loki. "I think it's best we meet in person and discuss it." Loki offered. "No problem. When do you want the meeting?" I asked Loki. "Let's say... By eight o'clock. Today of course." Loki answered. "Alright. I think my schedule is cleared by then. See
