ABANDONED BY MY EX ACCEPTED HIS BOSS'S PROPOSAL

THE BREAKUP**

Clara sat down for the stylist to begin her work.

It was her wedding day, the day she had been anticipating for.

She looked at her beautiful wedding dress and smiled. Finally, She and Jeremy would tie the knot.

Jeremy walked in suddenly with a girl by his side.

"Jeremy what are you doing here? You know that you're not supposed to see the bride before the wedding." Clara said looking all excited.

"Wedding my foot, Clara we need to talk" Jeremy said and signalled the stylist to leave the room.

"What is so important that we need to talk about and who's that girl beside you"Clara asked.

"She is Vivian the rightful owner of that wedding dress"Jeremy said pointing to the wedding dress on the mannequin.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Clara asked confused.

"I'm breaking up with you and getting married to Vivian here" Jeremy said and hugged Vivian's waist.

"What do you mean you're breaking up with me?"Clara asked on the verge of tears.

Vivian couldn't take it anymore and yelled "What don't you understand here?, Jeremy doesn't love you, he loves me so we're getting married ".

"Hey babe, take it easy because of the baby " Jeremy said softly as he rubbed her Vivian's stomach gently.

"She's pregnant " Clara asked.

"Yes , she's carrying my child."

"How could you do this to me after what we shared together?" Clara asked sobbing.

"We didn't share anything together Clara. You were just a plaything to be used and dumped. By the way,who would like a girl like you who's just an orphan with nothing to offer." Jeremy mocked.

Avi , Clara's friend who had been eavesdropping by the door walked in.

She looked at Jeremy and slapped him.

The sound of the slap echoed in the room.

"How dare you talk to Clara that way ?"Avi said, her face red from anger.

This was Avi, a person that doesn't tolerate nonsense especially insulting her best friend.

"Let's go,Clara" Avi said and pulled Clara out of the room.

Avi pulled her to the packing lot where her car was.

They both entered the car and Avi drove off.

"You should forget about that asshole and move on. I've always known that he couldn't be trusted " Avi said.

Clara only sobbed more.

"Clara, you should cheer up. At least you saw his true colours before the wedding "

"What can I do to cheer you up?"Avi added.

"Drop me at a bar somewhere " Clara said wiping off her tears.

"Okay, excellent choice"

**AT THE BAR**

Alex watched Clara drown in the fifth wine glass,at this rate she was going to end up wasted.

Alex Banks was the CEO of the Banks Corporation and Jeremy's boss. He had seen Clara come by the office a few times to see Jeremy.

But wasn't today supposed to be her wedding.

He walked up to Clara and sat next to her.

"What are you doing here drinking alone?"

Clara looked up at the man but he vision was blurry.

Clara buried her face in his arms and wailed like a child. His shirt was already getting soaked but he couldn't push her away.

"That bastard broke up with me,wah"She said as she continued crying.

Alex Banks finally understood why she looked like a ghost.

"Have a drink with me"Clara said as she shoved a glass in Alex Banks hands.

"Instead of drinking yourself to death,why not just go ahead and kill the bastard" Alex Banks suggested.

"I would have done that if I had a gun"Clara said.Clara opened her eyes the next morning.

Wait where was she!!.

She had a terrible headache, probably from all the drinking last night.

She looked around the unfamiliar room, the room was quite luxurious .

She looked under the sheets and found out she was naked.

What in the world happened last night? She couldn't wrap her head around it.

She heard the sound of running water in the bathroom and then it stopped.

A fine young handsome man stepped out of the bathroom.

She recognised him.

"You're Jeremy boss!!"

"Yes, I am"Alex banks nodded.

"What are you doing here? what happened last night"

"This is my room"

"So how did I end up in your room?" Clara asked.

"Are you kidding me? You really don't remember what happened last night. How you forced me to get drunk, dragged me here and asked me to sleep with you" Alex banks said trying to look all innocent.

"You must be mistaken, I'll never do such a thing"

"Then why are you naked on my bed?"Alex asked.

"You must've taken advantage of me. How could you do this to me?"She said as she wrapped herself in the sheets, picked up her clothes that were scattered around the room and shyly ran to the bathroom to get changed.

After a few minutes, She came out and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?"Alex asked.

"What kind of a question is that, I'm going home or do you want me to stay here with you" Clara said and looked at him.

"I wouldn't mind if you stay, you were really great in bed last night."

Clara hissed at the shameless man and left.

Alex banks thought she was really cute.

**AT AVI'S HOME**

"Where were you all night Clara, you didn't even pick up your phone. Did you know how worried I was?"Avi nagged .

Avi was always watching and caring for her like the mother she never had.

"Avi,I did something terrible yesterday"Clara cried.

"what do you mean something terrible?"

"I got really drunk last night and ended up in a man's bed" Clara said ashamed of herself.

"What!!,Why ,Who did you sleep with,did you see his face" Avi asked shocked.

"The man was Evans Banks"

"Wait why does that name sound extremely familiar"Avi asked.

Then she suddenly remembered,"Evans Banks, Jeremy's boss. How did you meet him?"

" At the bar"Clara said as she slumped on the couch.

"Was he good in bed?"Avi asked.

The memories of last night came flashing back.

She had kissed Evans first.

He took her to his room,captured her lips in a captivating kiss.

She unbuttoned his shirt and kissed his breasts.

Evans was a complete beast in bed, he tore off her clothes and thrust into Clara.

Clara's face turned red as she thought about it.

"He was really good in bed but what does that matter now. It's not like I'm going to meet him again."Clara told Avi.

"What if he wants to have a relationship with you?"

"C'mon that's not possible. He is a billionaire and he must have a girlfriend."

"Even if he asked me I wouldn't say yes. That guy is so shameless"Clara added.

"I'm so jealous of you" Avi said.

"Jealous of what"

"Your one night stand with a billionaire" Avi said and squeaked in excitement.

"Well Clara, I'm sure you haven't heard what people are saying about you" Avi said looking completely serious.

"What is it this time?"

"Jeremy's mother told the guests that you ran away from the wedding with another man"

Clara was used to Jeremy's mother spreading rumours about her.

She knew Jeremy's mother didn't like her.

Clara stepped out of her room after freshening up. She looked really great this morning.

"Look at you looking good after having an all night sex" Avi teased which made Clara blush.

"Stop teasing me already" Clara said and waved her hand.

"So where are you going?" Avi asked.

"I'm going to Jeremy's place to pick up my things"

"Let me come with you "Avi suggested

"No need for that, I'll handle things there myself okay. Thanks for worrying about me "Clara said and planted a kiss on Avi's forehead.

**AT THE BANKS OFFICE*

Kevin, Alex assistant didn't know what was going on with the CEO today.

He was all smiles ever since he arrived at the office this morning.

"Sir,it seems you're in a good mood this morning" Kevin said.

"Of course, I met a girl last night and she was hot" Alex banks said.

Kevin now realised the reason behind his smiles.

The boss had met a girl but he had never slept with a girl.

"I had sex with this girl". Alex said shocking Kevin.

"Wait, you did what." Kevin asked,he couldn't believe his ears.

"She looked so cute in bed. Actually she kissed me first"

"She kissed you first so you just had sex with someone you don't know"Kevin said,he was worried about the boss.

"I know her"Alex Banks said shocking Kevin more.

"Who is she?"

"She's Jeremy's ex girlfriend"

"Do you mean the girl who ran off from her wedding with another man?"

"What do you mean by another man, she was with me all night " Alex frowned.

"So you were the other man, I'm so sorry boss"

"You should be"Alex said and left the office.

**AT JEREMY'S PLACE**

Clara walked in expecting to meet Jeremy but she met his mother and Vivian.

They had already packed her suitcase ready to throw her out.

"Thanks for helping me pack , I'll just grab the suitcase and leave." Clara said with a smile.

"Where do you think you're going after all the shame and disgrace you put us through you slut"

Jeremy's mother said.

"I'm not a slut, the only slut here is Vivian. Don't think you can push me around anymore because it's over between I and your son"

"You think we don't know what you've been up to

Vivian said. she was such a sly fox.

"What do you mean?"Clara asked.

"We know that you left the wedding to meet you little lover"Vivian said.

"I don't understand what you're saying "

"Don't play dumb with me Clara. I have a video of how you two kissed all the way to his room. What if I release the video on the internet, what would people think about you?" Vivian threatened.

"I don't care, I'm leaving and I don't want to see you guys again " Clara said and walked out of the room.

How did she know about what happened last night,did she send someone to follow me, Clara thought.

**AT A CONFERENCE MEETING**

Beep,Kevin received a notification in his phone.

He opened it and it was a leaked video of Alex having fun with Clara.

Who might have leaked this video?That person was clearly walking into the lion's den.

He walked up to Alex and showed him the video.

Alex's expression turned dark, he got up and left the meeting.

The board of directors were confused as to why Alex suddenly left the meeting.

Alex banks pushed open the door of his office and sat on the couch

"Who did that?"Alex asked

"We don't know yet but the PR team are doing everything they can to take down the video"

Kevin answered.

"Don't take down the video"Alex banks said surprising Kevin.

"But sir the last thing you need right now is to be involved in a scandal"

"Just find whoever posted the video and deal with them"Alex concluded not wanting to talk about it anymore.

**AT AVI'S PLACE**

"Have you seen the video that is surging the internet?" Avi's asked Clara who seemed relaxed.

"Yeah, Vivian posted it"

"You mean that Jeremy's bitch that insulted you"

"Yeah "

"Then you should do something about it because I'm not sure Alex banks is going to do anything about it, not like this is his first or going to be his last relationship scandal "Avi said.

"So what should I do Avi?"Clara asked lazily.

Avi stood up,took her car keys and pulled Clara along with her.

'Where are we going,Avi"Clara asked

"We're going to meet Alex banks and asked him to fucking take the video down"

**AT THE BANKS COMPANY**

Avi and Clara stood before the receptionist in the lobby.

Immediately they entered, the employees remembered she was the girl in the video.

Jeremy was walking with his friends Jayce as they got back from the coffee shop,when Jayce called out "Jeremy, isn't that your ex girlfriend who was in the video with the boss" Jayce asked.

"What are you talking about? She wasn't the girl in the video"Jeremy snapped back. He thought that it wasn't possible for Clara to even meet his boss,let alone have sex with him .

"Then why don't you just go and ask her yourself"Jayce suggested.

Jeremy walked up to Clara.

The people around saw him walking up to her and gathered closer to witness what was going on.

"Clara was it you in the video?"Jeremy asked not wanting to beat around the bush as people were gathered around.

"Yes, it was me, so how does that concern you?"Clara responded boldly shocking everyone.

She has just confirmed everyone's doubt.

"The boss wants you to come up"the receptionist said leading Avi and Clara to the elevator, leaving the shocked people there wondering.

The onlookers started to gossip,

"So she left the poor man for his boss, what a shameless girl"

"She's such a disgrace"

"If I were her I would've done the same. The boss is rich and way more handsome than her ex"

Those were the words the employees kept muttering about.

Jeremy couldn't take it anymore so he left the group.

**IN ALEX'S OFFICE**

Alex just sat on his swivel chair and looked at Clara.

Kevin had to speak up"What brings you here?"

"You really have no manners"Avi said to Kevin which made him angry.

How dare she talk to him like this?.

Clara knew the two of them would break out a quarrel,so she spoke up.

"You two better shut your traps, this matter is between me and your boss so keep out of it"Clara warned Avi and Kevin.

Kevin looked at Alex banks helplessly.

The only person who had spoken to like this was his boss but now Clara just shut him up.

"I want you to take down the video"Clara said straight to the point.

Alex turned in his swivel chair playfully and looked at Clara stubborn look.

"What if I say no, you can't boss me around just because we had sex just one night"Alex banks said shamelessly.

Clara's face turned red from embarrassment. Why would he say such a thing openly?.

"It's a pity the video was only a short version of what we did last night. I really enjoyed the video" Alex said.

"Are you crazy?"Clara shouted angrily.

"Are you crazy?" Clara shouted angrily.

Avi and Kevin both raised an eyebrow. Did Clara just curse at Alex banks.

Clara had had enough of people playing her so she didn't care anymore.

"Fine I'll take down the video, but on one condition" Alex said. This was definitely his opportunity to have this girl.

"Okay, what condition?"Clara asked finally cooling off.

"Let's make a deal, be my girlfriend and I'll take down the video"Alex said leaving everyone shocked.

Alex was clearly proposing to Clara.

"You can as well leave the video on the internet" Clara response brought disappointment to all in the office.

Even Kevin expected her to say Yes.

She pulled Avi's arm and turned to leave.

"What if I help get revenge on that bastard?"

Alex said not wanting to miss this opportunity.

Clara turned to look at Alex, her face was lit up indicating that she loved the idea.

"What are you getting at?"Clara asked

"Jeremy works in my company, I could fire him and even blacklist him if you want. Jeremy's family isn't going to stop bothering you, I'm the only one who can help you "Alex banks said trying to sound very convincing.

Kevin shook his head, the almighty Alex was nearly begging just for a girl.

"I can also help you "Avi said not wanting to feel left out."

Alex banks signalled Kevin and Avi to leave.

After they left,He continued.

"I'll help you get back at Jeremy and his family. I'll also sue his girlfriend for defamation."

"Fine, I'll do it. I'll be your whatever." Clara responded.

"You can text me anytime to meet up,so I can know more about you." Clara added.

"Okay beautiful " Alex said.

Clara rolled her eyes and said"Don't call me that you shameless man ".

Alex laughed, he loved it when Clara tried to act stubborn.

"Don't you have a job?"He asked.

"I don't have a job, I just sit around all day doing nothing" Clara responded with a hint of sarcasm.

"Should I offer you a job?" Alex said trying to impress Clara.

"You fool,I work from home as an author, publisher and editor." Clara said and walked out of his office slamming the door.

Alex banks smiled, that girl is so wild.

******

"What did you two talk about?"Avi asked as they got home.

"Nothing much, I agreed to be his girlfriend and told him we had to meet up to get to know each other." Clara said.

"That's all?"Avi asked.

"Of course, that's all. What else were you expecting?"Clara said.

She looked closely at the dirty minded Avi and pinched her cheeks.

"Stop being dirty minded Avi "Clara said.

"I'll go take a shower now"

*****

Clara got out of the bedroom and wore her nightgown.

She took out her laptop and opened it.

She had been busy all day and didn't get the chance to review the file forwarded to her.

As she buried her head in her work,her phone rang out.

She looked at the caller ID,it was an unknown number.

She hesitated before she picked up the phone

"Clara speaking,Who are you?"Clara asked.

"It's your new boyfriend." Alex said.

"Alex??"

"Yes,it's me. Did you already go to bed?"Alex asked.

"No, I'm working."

"Look out your window"

"Why?"Clara asked.

"Just do as I say"

Clara got up and looked out the window.

She saw Alex waving at her.

She laughed"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to see you one more time before going to bed"Alex said.

"Then , you should've done a video call. Why come all the way here?"

"I just miss you that's all, good night "Alex said and waved Clara goodbye.

**AT ALEX BANKS OFFICE**

Kevin walked into Alex's office,"Your mother is here to see you"He said.

"Send her in"Alex banks said.

James knew well that Alex banks didn't like it when family members come to visit him at work.

"How dare you make your mother wait at the reception, Alex"Anna shouted as she entered the office.

Anna Banks was Alex's mother and she was always nagging.

"You know why I'm here right?"Anna Banks said, trying to cool off.

"What is it this time Mom?"

"The video that has been circulating the internet,can you explain that?"Anna Banks asked.

"There is nothing to explain mom"

"What do you mean by nothing to explain. who is the girl in the video?"She asked.

"She's my girlfriend". Alex banks said smiling,he knew what his mother's next reaction would be.

Anna Banks gasped in shock,"Girlfriend!!Since when were you serious enough to have a girlfriend".

Alex banks was always fooling around with other girls which made her really upset and worried, now he had a girlfriend and didn't bother to tell her.

"When did you meet her?"Anna asked.

"Last Saturday and she became my girlfriend officially yesterday"Alex replied.

Anna Banks couldn't believe her ears,

"You're dating a girl you just met three days ago. What is her name and who are her parents?"Anna Banks asked.

"She is Clara and she doesn't have parents "

"What do you mean she doesn't have parents?"

"She is an orphan,mom"Alex said, he was already getting tired of the conversation.

"You can't date such a girl"Anna Banks said.

"Why not?"

"She doesn't have a background,how do you expect me to accept a girl like that "Anna shouted again .

"Like you had anything before dad married you " Alex banks told his mother mockingly.

"How dare you talk to your mother like that because of some random girl?"Anna Banks said raising her voice.

"Just leave, I've got lots of thong to do today "Alex banks said.

"I'll leave but remember we'll meet at home "Anna Banks said and stormed out of the office.

Alex sighed, finally She left.

Kevin came in and looked at the poor Alex banks who was just scolded by his mother.

"Guess your mother doesn't approve of Clara " Kevin said, upsetting Alex banks more.

"Like I give a damn about what she thinks "

"She's your mother sir"Kevin reminded.

"I know but that doesn't give her the power to dictate certain things for me "Alex banks said.

He shut his laptop and walked out.

******

"What are you doing?"Avi said as she entered Clara's room, completely startling her.

Clara heaved a sigh of relief,

"Don't sneak up on me like that "Clara said.

"Well I couldn't help it. You've been starring at your phone all day, what's gotten into you?"Avi asked

"It's nothing "Clara answered.

"Are you expecting Alex's call?"Avi asked.

"No"Clara said.

"You're lying. Just call him already "Avi said.

"I wasn't thinking about him okay,so just leave "

"Look at you getting all aggressive, I'll call him for you"

Avi grabbed Clara's phone and dialled Alex banks number.

*****

Alex banks was in a meeting when his phone rang out.

He picked the phone and looked at the caller ID.

He smiled and picked up the call.

"Yes babe"Alex banks said.

The employees all turned to look at him.

Was he interrupting an important meeting just to speak with his girlfriend.

"Ehm,hi"Clara replied timidly.

"I've missed your voice babe, I'm sure you missed me too. Let's meet up right now."Alex said.

"Right now, don't you have work to do?"

"I'm not doing anything right now,so I'll see you" Alex said and hung up.

Every body in the conference room looked at him.

Was he really leaving in the middle of a meeting?

"I've got somewhere to be so finish up without me"Alex banks said and rushed out the door, leaving the people dumbfounded.

**AT THE BANKS MANSION**

"I'm talking to you and you're not showing any concern"Anna shouted at Robert Banks.

Robert Banks was Alex's father.

"We shouldn't meddle in our son's private life. You know how he is, jumping from one girl to the other. Let him do as he pleases"Robert Banks said.

"You men are always like this can't you just understand my worry. That girl doesn't even have parents and she ran off on her wedding day" Anna said.

"There's all sorts of rumour about her, people say she's just a gold digger and I don't expect better from people like that". Anna Banks added.

"You haven't even met her yet". Robert Banks said, all these talking was already tiring him.

"Do I really need to meet a girl like that? She is going to be like a stain on my son's reputation".

Anna Banks said.

Seeing that Robert Banks wasn't interested in discussing with her, she got up and left the room angrily.

**AT A RESTAURANT**

Clara walked into the private room and saw all sorts of dish arranged like artwork on the table.

"What are you doing standing over there?" Alex Banks called out.

Clara walked over and sat opposite to him.

"I was really happy when I got your call,babe"Alex said.

"I told you to stop calling me that and why did you order so much?"Clara asked.

"I ordered all of it for you."

"I don't eat much,this is a waste and I hate waste " Clara said, giving Alex banks a deadly gaze.

Alex Banks bowed his head and apologized , like a little child getting scolded.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it ever again "

Clara looked at his cute face and laughed.

After they had finished,they left the restaurant and walked to the car park.

Alex Banks suddenly remembered something,

"I've got to go get something so just go ahead I'll catch up"

"Okay" Clara watched him leave and smiled.

She knew this relationship was just a deal, that's all.

She strongly advised herself not to fall for any man again. A breakup once was enough.

Jeremy got out of the convenience store and caught sight of Clara standing on the other side of the road.

He rushed up to her and grabbed her hand.

Clara looked at the person that grabbed her hand and hissed,

"Clara, what are you doing here?"Jeremy asked.

"Should I inform you on my whereabouts, we're no longer in a relationship so you can stop acting like you care." Clara said.

"I can't believe you had something with the boss while we were in a relationship"Jeremy bluffed.

"how dare you try to accuse me of cheating when you're the real scumbag here?"Clara said.

"Clara tell me the truth, what's your relationship with the CEO?"

"You mean Alex banks, he's my boyfriend" Clara said proudly.

"That's not possible "Jeremy scoffed.

Just then, Alex came,"Did you wait long,baby?"

Alex Banks asked completely ignoring Jeremy.

He planted a kiss on her cheek, making Clara blush.

"Is he disturbing you?"Alex banks asked.

"Yes,he is, but just let him be. Let's go"Clara said and walked away with Alex banks holding his hands.

Jeremy couldn't believe his eyes,Clara was actually Alex's girlfriend.

Alex dropped Clara off at Avi's place.

"Good night"Clara said

"Just good night, aren't you going to give me a goodbye kiss?"

"No"

Clara woke up midmorning the next day.

It was Thursday and she didn't have anything to do.

She went downstairs and saw Avi reading a magazine,

"No work today"Clara asked Avi.

"Nah,I quit my job yesterday"Avi said.

"Great, let's go have fun today"Clara hippied.

"I said I just quit my job, shouldn't you be sorry for me?"Avi said.

"I didn't ask because I'm very sure you quit your job because you were bored"

"You're right, that work was just paper work and more paperwork and more paperwork,Arrgghhh"

Avi groaned, she looked like she could tear anything apart.

Clara took a few steps back.

"Let's just leave this house and go have fun "Clara suggested.

"You're right, we'll go to the park,then the shopping mall and a very nice restaurant "Avi said.

"That sounds like an expensive fun and I'm currently broke"

"How dare you say you're broke when your boyfriend is a billionaire? Just call him and ask for money "

"No"

"I'll call him for you "Avi snatched Clara's phone and dialled Alex banks number.

******

Alex Banks was in his office discussing with Kevin when Clara's call came in.

"Looks like my baby can't stay a day without hearing my voice"Alex banks said and turned in his chair.

Kevin rolled his eyes.

"Yes baby, You miss me"Alex Banks said.

"No, it's Avi"

"Oh, what is it?Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing,Clara and I thought of going shopping, can you tag along?"

"Of course,tell Clara I'll be with her shortly"Alex said and Avi hung up.

"Avi's inviting us to go shopping with them, what do you think?"Alex banks asked Kevin.

"Great,they probably asked you to tag along so you could pay the bills"

"Well that's fine by me because I'm rich"Alex Banks said clearly trying to provoke Kevin.

*****

"Alex Banks is joining us"Avi said as she was driving.

"He was probably working, you shouldn't have disturbed him"Clara said.

"He didn't mind,so why should I"

"Just focus on driving,Avi"Clara said and rested her head on the headrest.

"Speaking of driving,I should tell your boyfriend to teach you how to drive one of the days"Avi said.

"You know driving isn't my thing"Clara said.

******

They arrived at the mall and went to the lobby.

Alex Banks and Kevin were already there, how'd they get here so fast!!.

"How are you doing?"Alex Banks asked Clara.

"I'm fine, I'm good"Clara said, looking away from Alex Banks.

"I'll go with Kevin and you go with Clara okay"Avi said.

She wanted them to be alone.

She collected the black card from Alex Banks and pulled Kevin away.

'Do you really have to take me with you?"Kevin asked as Avi entered a jewelry store.

"Are you dumb, can't you see that they need privacy to talk things out. Must you always cling to your boss like a child"Avi asked.

She gave Kevin a disappointed look and shook her head in pity.

"Don't look at me like that,it has always been my job to follow him around "Kevin replied

"like a bodyguard "Avi said and burst out in laughter.

Kevin looked at Avi, this girl was really getting on his nerves.

Meanwhile, Clara sat in the lobby, completely ignoring Alex Banks.

"Baby, Did I do something wrong?"Alex Banks asked sweetly.

"No, I just don't want to talk to you "

"Mood swings. You should at least pick something, you can't just come to a mall and sit at the lobby"

Clara stood up and walked out, Alex Banks chased after her.

"What are you doing, Clara?"Alex Banks said pulling her arm.

"I'm leaving" Clara said.

Alex Banks pulled Clara to the car.

Inside the car, Alex Banks hugged Clara's waist and pulled her closer to his chest.

He looked deep into her eyes and leaned in closer,close enough that Clara could feel his hot breath.

Clara tried hard to avoid his gaze.

"What are you not telling me Clara?" Alex Banks asked again.

"It's nothing really"Clara replied.

"I can tell that you're lying, Clara"Alex Banks said and let go of her.

Clara tried to get out of the car but it was locked.

"Open the door,I want to leave"Clara said with tears welling up in her eyes.

"You're not leaving till you tell me what's going on"

"How many girls have you met before me?"Clara asked.

Alex Banks was surprised by the sudden question,

"What do you mean?, you're my girlfriend Clara, I'm not seeing any other girl"

Clara looked at Alex Banks, she felt like slapping him right now,

"Let's break up, Alex"

"What,Why?!!"

Clara brought out a stack of pictures from her handbag and threw it at Alex.

Alex Banks looked at the pictures and his expression suddenly darkened.

Someone had sent pictures of Alex Banks with other girls to Clara.

"I don't want to be in another toxic relationship, Alex"

"I can explain..."

"There's nothing to explain. Let me go please".

Clara pleaded with Alex Banks.

Alex Banks started the car and drove off.

"Where are we going, Alex?"Clara asked but Alex didn't respond.

Was she getting abducted by Alex Banks,Clara thought.

What will he do to her.

*****

Meanwhile,Avi looked for Clara everywhere but couldn't find her.

"They've probably left"Kevin said behind her.

He was exhausted from carrying tons of shopping bags.

Avi literally bought the whole mall.

Kevin dropped the bags and tried to catch his breath,"You should take this bags yourself"

"What do you mean?How dare you ask a girl to carry all this and then you follow behind her?"

Avi snapped back at him.

"I've been following you around with these bags for over an hour. If you think it's easy,why don't you carry them yourself "Kevin said.

"Wow, now I see why you don't have a girlfriend "

Avi said smiling.

"What do you mean Uhn?"Kevin asked.

"You lack manpower, Kevin"Avi answered.

"I won't argue with you. You clearly don't know how much strength I have "Kevin bragged.

"Really,then prove it to me"Avi said.

She walked up to Kevin, Kevin took a few steps backward.

He was not sure what this girl would do.

"I'm not going to eat you, just carry these bags to my car"Avi said

She pulled Kevin closer and whispered in his ear,

"Do it and I might take what I said back"

She kissed him on his cheeks and ran off.

Kevin touched where Avi just kissed him.

That was his first kiss and he could feel his heart racing.

*******

Alex Banks arrived at his villa and drove in.

He got off and opened the door for Clara.

"Where are we?"Clara asked as she got down.

Alex Banks didn't answer her,he just walked into the mansion.

Clara gasped,Was this Alex's Villa?

She had never been to such a huge villa before.

She walked in after Alex Banks.

She was completely stricken by the interior decoration,it looked like a castle.

Clara followed Alex Banks upstairs and into his room.

She looked around, she knew this was Alex's room because of the picture of him hanging on the wall.

"Why did you bring me here?"Clara asked.

"Freshen up and go to bed"Alex Banks said, ignoring her question.
