Heavy Storm
He buried her in such a public cemetery because he knew how much she hated being alone. Today no one can't wait to come keep her company. How could he bear to disappoint her? He walked very hard on that day. The Davis and everything that belongs to them were supposed to go down today but everything got destroyed because of the stupid woman in his house. How could she do this to him?
How?
The black car, once again, disappeared into the rain, leaving behind a black umbrella covering the tomb.

It was raining heavily outside, but fear wouldn't allow Clara to stay indoors doing anything, so she ran to the abandoned greenhouse to tend the flowers.
She was doing this absentmindedly. The white lilacs were all growing very fast. She had gone to buy the flower seeds the first day she discovered this place. She cleared the not too big garden which was covered with weeds as a result of it being abandoned for a long time. It's about two months now , her lilacs and other flowers are now beautifully growing, beautifying the old greenhouse.
She once heard that a white lilac represented purity and true love, but in her favorite book , this flower played a huge role in helping the female lead win the heart of her mate . She planted it because she secretly dreamed.
Mrs Leah had a weird expression when she informed her that she would be taking care of the greenhouse. Luckily, she didn't say anything or else she really would have had nothing to pass the time with.
Every day she made sure she drained her little body of any energy that could possibly be in it, so that she would quickly fall asleep once she was in bed, so tired that she didn't feel scared of the pictures in their room.
Although she had come to the greenhouse in the rain to keep her trembling mind busy, she couldn't help but think about how today ended because of her actions. Seeing that her flowers were not helping her, she took out her phone to call her friends.
" Hi, lover girl , what could possibly be troubling your beautiful mind on such a special day " Gloria's playful voice boomed from the phone. In the short time they'd known each other, Gloria I'd come to an understanding of her new friend. She's not the type of person to call someone to check up on them. It is either she wants to get her mind off something or rather someone.
" Try being serious for once, will you " Clara hissed playfully. Gloria is one of the people she could talk freely with, so she called her this time for advice , because she felt like she really messed up this time .
" Okay,fine , I'm serious now , so feel free to tell me, what is on your mind ?"
" Gloria.. I , no, let's say you intentionally did something wrong to someone special. What do you think is the best way to apologise to that person ? Gloria had slowly turned into Clare's advisor.
" Are you talking about your husband? It's very easy as long as you do not make him a cuckold. Everything is easy, you only need to. You know what I mean, huh? " Glory could see right through Clara's question, but a marital problem is not something other people's ideas will work on.
Clara listened attentively to her friend on the phone, immersing herself in the call to the extent that she didn't realize the heavy storm coming her way.
A black car carelessly drove into the villa, seeing Xavier all wet. Mrs Leah quickly brought him a clean towel," but he didn't spare it a glance, as he asked angrily, "where is she ?" Xavier didn't wait for her response as he took a large step into the entrance hall, his expression cold and scary.
" Ms Davis isn't in the house" Mrs Leah called after him. On hearing her,he stopped " where is she ,then?" He channeled his frustration at the poor lady.
With a trembling finger she pointed at the direction behind the mansion " the greenhouse " Leah had never seen her boss in such a state before. She started worrying about the young woman in the greenhouse.
What he had just heard was the last thing he was expecting to hear, someone dared to step foot in her greenhouse.
" Greenhouse? " Knitting his dark eyebrows, shuddering lights flashed in his eyes, " who allowed her into the greenhouse ?" He curled up his lips into an evil smile ,he coldly dismissed everyone from tagging along ,as he headed towards the greenhouse behind the Villa.

In the greenhouse house Clara was still listening to Glory. She didn't tell her friends anything about her relationship with her husband , so with the idea that they were like a lovey-dovey couple, Glory continued giving her Romantic tips on how to make him happy. Because of the strong erotic words Glory was boldly saying, Clara's little face had become as red as a tomato.
Sometimes, giving the illusion of happiness is also a way to comfort oneself.
" My bad! See, I almost forgot! " Glory suddenly exclaimed before Clara could ask what the problem was. She started singing a birthday song. For her, "Happy Birthday sister, May you always be happy " she said after her song.
Clara was so touched that she fell speechless. Both of them only played a birthday game and she remembered that today was her birthday. It was the first time in twelve years someone remembered her birthday and sincerely wished her.
They are indeed destined to be good friends, having met at such an unusual occurrence.
" Your husband must have prepared a big surprise for you. Don't worry, it's your birthday and the birthday girl always has a wish. Don't worry, you will be forgiven," Glory said hurriedly.
"yah .. I hope so " her heart was so heavy. How would he surprise her if he didn't even know today was her birthday? It was not possible that he would surprise her.
How wonderful it would be if Glory's words could be true. She will be forgiven no matter what her crime is.
The heavy footsteps coming from behind her were drowned out by the rain, so Clara was unable to notice him until it was too late.
"Ahh.." she heard Glory's scream again. This time she became really worried. " Glory are you okay ? " Clara was already panicking.
Glory picked up her phone that fell off and said " am okay dear, what a coincidence Clara today happened to be a special day for me as well."
"Really? How special is it ? Should I start celebrating? "
" I don't know my heart feels like I'm close to meeting someone special and also parting with another, it's leading me to somewhere but I don't seem to find the entrance, "Glory could see the other car almost catching up with hers.
"Is it related to your lost memories? " Clara was beginning to feel uneasy. She could still remember what she said when she returned that necklace.
" I also thought so, but unfortunately, there's always a nosy person blocking my way. She made the last sentence through her teeth as a car finally took hers and blocked her way and another behind her, trapping her in their middle. She watched with a frown as a handsome man emerged from the car in front of her, and walked slowly towards her.
" I told you I'd always come after you, my angel "the man said with a taunting smirk , " what would you have become without me tigress?" He asked again.
The voice and the rain drop went straight into Clara's ear and she remembered what happened when they first met .
" Glory, are you really okay or should I call the police for you ?" She hurriedly asked.
"I am really okay. Have a wonderful birthday celebration. We will always stay connected, okay, bye for now " Glory couldn't wait to disconnect the call so that she could give this dangerous man a piece of her mind. She faced the man with her stubborn gaze.
"You are the one who needs me, but since I have successfully escaped from your den I'm never going back, take it or leave it", she tried to escape through the other door.
However, she underestimated this person. He never appeared alone in public before she could even open her open. Then she was already caught by his men and they carried her into their car.

Back in the greenhouse , Clara was looking at the phone with a frown that she did not know that someone else was sharing the warmth with her.
"The man didn't sound angry. What he said seemed to be out of concern, so Glory must be safe." She mumbled to herself.
After assuring herself, she dropped her phone and took out the tie clip that she wanted to give him but, hadn't gotten the chance, if she should try today, would he accept it and forgive her? She was only trying to save her family. She never meant to go against him anyway.
If she followed Glory's advice, would it please him ? Is that really how to make a man happy? However, she had forgotten that her situation was different. She and Xavier don't have such a relationship, acting all cute like a wife being doted on by only working on a man who is madly in love with his wife and both of them are far from being that perfect couple.
"Pah."
Shattering filled the air, catching her attention, she turned and saw a rose flower pot broken into pieces on the floor. But that wasn't what caused goosebumps in her. She stared from the well-polished black shoes up to the cold eyes looking down at her . Her heart skipped a beat, sensing the dangerous aura from him. She found herself taking a few steps backward.
"Who allowed you in here?! " That angry voice came like a thunderstorm hitting the four corners of the already weakened greenhouse .
'So he is not here because of the contract I exchanged but because I touched his little lover's garden.' Fear came over her and she couldn't even breathe freely, not to mention being able to say a word .
