Clara’s pov
I stormed into the yard smiling in tears ,Ryan wants to see me ,I wonder how he is. Just then I barged into 6 men. they were dressed in thick black suits. some held brief cases and some wore glasses.
I moved back ,my mom stood up with Lia.
Diana rushed out with my dad.
” how may we help you?” my mom asked
“you have 30 minutes to leave this house
“what!!”my mom said
“why ” my dad said
“what’s going on ” I asked
“we are no longer renting this building” the man said
“but people are still living around” my dad asked
“sir your rent is obviously delayed so you do not have any right to say all the things you are saying …guys move inside and help them pack. The boys stormed in, my dad placed his fingers across his face. Anna again. What did that girl drink…it’s obvious this is her hand work why won’t she stop? I ran out of the house.. I moved my wet hair and ran faster…I took the bus I was freezing because of cold .people didn’t even realize my clothes were wet. minutes later I arrived a.g.h.c I stormed upstairs and stormed into her office her secretary ran after me. there Anna stood looking out of her window.she told her secretary to leave.she sat down on her table.am i seeing red marks on her neck or am I seeing things.and why is the front of her hair getting scanty most importantly why is her eyes dimmed? Is she okay? Anyways that’s not why am here.
“Clara welcome” she said sitting in her chair” why are you so wet ,you might want to change in my room…
” really, do you think I trust you enough to do that? You might as well kill me in there just because of a man…
“Clara shut up. You are talking rubbish” she said opening the file on her table.
what kind of creature is this girl? I am talking and she wants to read… I moved over to her table and pulled all the files to the floor .she looked up at me. my tears streamed down just like a wounded tiger.
” what Is your problem Anna? Why are you ruining my life? I left Ryan for you was that not enough you demolished my dad’s shop. Now he is owing thousands of people. You sent us out of our house. What do you want me do for you this girl?” I screamed at her.
” go to Utica Clara
” what
” go to Utica and I will stop,I will stop ruining your life.
” how can you be so heartless
” am not heartless, you said you left Ryan right but you were going to meet him even in your wet clothes ..is that how to leave someone…is that how to move on , if you didn’t want to see Ryan today do you think I will try to demolish your house huh!!!.
” wow so it is all because of Ryan ,it is still all because of a Ryan
” man , because of a man.do you think I am stupid. look at this.. she switched on her projector and showed the video of the two guys who had been following me since morning where they hid waiting for me with their guns.
Anna’s pov.
” am sure you are smart you must have seen them Did you wonder why they are following you.no I am sure you didn’t.
I called Jake on phone
” Jake send me a live video of the men waiting in her father’s house.
he started videoing and I previewed it for her to see. where they hid with their guns…Clara used both hands to cover her mouth.I switched off the projector…
“Clara you are not safe… I sent those men to your house so they can push you to come and see me. your parents are not safe , your best friend is not safe your cousin is not safe Clara and once you follow Ryan they will die they will all die but don’t think you will be saved because Ryan’s dad is following Ryan too if you meet him Clara his dad will kill you.if you agree to follow Ryan you will die but not only you all your family members .Ryan found a way to separate the marriage he found a way to separate the marriage without separating the merger.should I tell you what he decided he decided to sign off his birthright to his cousin ..he decided to live as pauper for life ,he decided to start life afresh as a nobody I will be forced to marry Carlos and I don’t mind I will do it for the merger , you ill loose your family, Ryan will lose his birthright and start life afresh like a pauper ,his parents will never forgive him ,you will surely become an orphan are you ready to do all this for love? Are you ready to let all this happen just because of love? if you think I am fighting because I desire Ryan then you must be blind. I am fighting for you and Ryan and if you truly love Ryan Clara you would know that running away is not an option … giving out his birthright is not the best option the ball is in your court and my men won’t follow you again if you still want to meet Ryan you are free but if i were you i will go to Utica and let fate do the rest , it’s your choice Clara. Anna sat on her chair
Clara’s pov
how could Ryan make such a childish decision. Just when I thought I will finally be happy my pain toppled.I sat down on the floor of Anna’s office and started crying.I cried my heart out Anna looked up for a while she doesn’t want to shed a tear she stood up and walked past me. I stood up and walked out of the office crying…. Anna is really heartless , who trained her to be so cold, she couldn’t even console me and the only time she touched me was to slap me. I really wanted her to hug me and tell me sorry now but am I drunk,she’s dry I am wet,she’s looking rich I look dirty … I don’t know why I even love her so much… after all she did to me i still like her. Ryan i know you won’t go you won’t leave that beach. you would stay until I come that’s how you are. You might even wait till morning. I checked my time 6pm it is going to get dark soon.I took a cab and headed for the beach.
Ryan’s pov
I know Clara will come ,there is no way she won’t come. I sat back on the ground waiting for her just now she walked out. She looks so wet from her hair to toe. She slimmed down and pain is written all over her, is Clara ok?
she moved closer to me, no smiles, no tears, I missed her so much. On seeing her, tears filled my eyes. I pulled her closer and hugged her like my life depended on it.she didn’t talk she finally unlocked.
(Oh God! i cried when writing this part)
?????
” Clara
“sir Ryan,the way I broke up with you was very wrong so I came to break up with you the right way… please stay away from me , we are done for good.
I wiped my tears
“Clara what are you saying?
“Ryan i don’t love you anymore ,stop calling me, stop looking for me ,stop sending people to call me , you are doing all this to irritate me.
I fell to my knees and she looked up seems she doesn’t want to shed a tear.
I took her hands and she looked down at me that was when her tears streamed down.
“Clara please don’t kill me,I love you so much,we made promises,we shared moments , you said you loved me Clara I know you love me very much .
” no i don’t !! Ryan I loved you,past!!! ” she shouted.I stood up in tears almost limping.
I took her hands.
” Clara noo
” I desired you ,past!!!.
” Clara!!
” I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, my past!!.
” Clara please
“I wanted to be in your arms ,past !!!” she said in tears
” Clara I can’t live without you
” I don’t love you anymore Ryan …don’t ruin your life for me.I don’t feel anything for you.she tried rushing out I pulled her into my arms and hugged her tightly.
“Clara I love you ,present !!. (??)she started crying like a baby.
” I need you Clara ,now!!
“Ryan let me go
“do I miss you? Every day !!!
“can I live without you ,no!!.
” Clara please don’t do this to us .I don’t know what they told you but I really love you very much.
I knelt down and wrapped my hands round her waist. she cried more and hastily wiped her tears
” Ryan let me go ,I don’t want to be with you…i love someone else ,I don’t love you.
I stood up like I was drunk.I pulled her into myself with my hands on her waist
” say it to my face Clara and I will let you go.
she looked into my eyes and tears streamed down wetting her beautiful lips.
“Clara just say it one last time. Say it to my face. she ran her eyes behind me like she saw someone. whoever she saw gave her courage to look me in eyes.
” I don’t love you Ryan. I don’t love you anymore. She said this looking into my eyes with streaming tears.
I fell back to the sand
” go …. I am letting you go . I will always love you even if I do it alone. I said to her and she turned her back on me. As she walked I saw her hands cleaning her tears…. Clara moved on from me so quickly.did she really ever love me… she isn’t worth it .she isn’t worth the sacrifice I made to be with her… I feel so dead…Iost the only reason behind my smile I watched her walk away gently.
Clara’s POV.
Ryan I love you ,I love you so much that I can’t let you ruin your life for me.I want to go with you but not at the cost of innocent lives.I know we will meet again.I love you more than life itself.I love you more than God himself.I love you more than love can ever describe. I love you Ryan so much that I will die and kill for you. If I was the only one your dad wanted to kill then I would have died for you…. just go now Ryan go now cos I want to start my own life afresh let’s leave like we never met.. I looked into the ocean and it roared heavily just like it did that very day I and Ryan went to the beach. I want to make a wish but what do I wish for. I knelt down in the water and I saw Ryan kneeling down at the other side. What will I wish for? What does he want to wish for?
” dear holiness, I am here again just like I came before.I have only one wish.. allow me to meet Ryan again but let it be in a way everyone will be happy ,Anna,Tony,Ryan,Liam,Mr Grande,Mr Dervantes, Isabella . I want to be with Ryan till I die but not at the cost of anyone’s life,not at the cost of anyone’s happiness.I have so many needs and wishes but all I ask you for is Ryan give me a chance to love him.give me a chance to love Ryan and watch him love me.
Ryan’s pov
Dear God, I don’t believe in you but Clara told me that you are real and I have a wish all. I really want is Clara. It seems impossible but you are the only one who can bring Clara back to me in a way everybody will be happy.I have a lot of things to wish for but all I need is Clara.
I opened my eyes and the water overflew getting me very wet. I turned and Clara got wet too. I wonder what she wished for.I stood up and walked into my car.
Clara’s pov.
I stood up and headed home,its time to go to Utica and start my life afresh . i arrived home everyone already packed. Diana was outside.
” come on Clara ,leaving for Utica is our best option” my dad said
I nodded
“Clara, Diana helped you pack.” my mom said
I hugged Diana deeply.
“Clara I will miss you
“it’s just two bus drives
“I know
she hugged me deeply..
minutes later the car arrived and we left…I sat quietly crying to myself..i hope my father’s debtors won’t find us here too.
Anna’s pov
I sat on the bed i already bathed..I waited for Ryan to come back that is if he would come back. finally he walked in ..so much tears.he sat beside me on the bed.
” Anna, Clara left…Clara said she doesn’t love me anymore ,she said she moved on from me.” he said. I pulled him into my arms and hugged him tightly.
” Ryan I am sorry, everything will be fine I know.
he tightened the hug and I held him tight. God I never wished for any of this to happen. He withdrew himself and I wiped his tears.
” Ryan am sorry
” Anna, Clara really left she left me I should let her go right? I should let her go now.I hugged him tightly again.
Ryan i want you both to be one but not at the cost of your birthright Ryan not at the cost of innocent lives Clara really acted smartly.
Mr. Dervante’s pov
My boy just walked in.
” sir Anna was right ,the girl left.
” wow how far is she
“Utica
“hmmmm that’s not too far
“at least Ryan can’t look for her sir ,she dumped him.
“what
“yes she said she doesn’t love him anymore.
“too bad…ok good job.
he walked out. Ryan must be in so much pain right now well if Anna is smart she should console him and use this opportunity of his weakness to get pregnant that way no one can separate them ever again.
