Hallucinating

"Two years ago I approached this organization and was rejected. The reason they gave was that I was not qualified ". A young man said among the crowd.

"What did you approach them for?" another man asked.

"How can I say it ? The reason why it's called Lotus is because of its secrecy and confidentiality," The first man replied.

"Yes , the power of an organization lies in its ability to keep its business confidential. That is why, even though it is a dark organization, the government can't take it down. I even heard they have information that could bring the country down."

And that young man is the owner of such an organization, he looks so young, most likely to be in his early thirties..

.......

After keeping her under the care of Mrs Leah, Xavier rushed down to his office to take care of things, but not long later, a call from home came in after Mrs Leah urgently needed his attention.

" Sir!!! , Ms Davis is smashing things again ". Immediately he returned, Mrs Leah ran to him to report, looking as though someone had come to her rescue.

He refused to believe that she was really mad, but her actions during, these few hours of their return is proof otherwise. She had injured a few of the servants and disguised herself like a servant and went to the garden to trim the flowers and finally used the garden spear to scare the workers. Handing his jacket to Mrs Leah, he dashed upstairs to their room, but on opening the door the mess he saw left him speechless. There were shattered vases and mirrors on the floor. In fact, it was more serious than he thought.

The doctor who diagnosed her advised him to take her to a psychiatric hospital to ensure the safety of herself and those around her, but he refused because of her past experience, but it looks like he was right about that.

Xavier took light steps towards the woman who was sitting on the floor. She was dressed in a princess' white nightgown. her hair dishevelled, she sat there mumbling to herself.

" Cinderella " he gently called, trying hard not to scare her so that she wouldn't over react. He went in front of her and squatted down , pointing at the things she had piled up and asked

"What is in there ? "

"Shiii," she quickly said, putting a finger on her lips , don't be scared, I have buried it, it won't be able to scare people anymore ' she said proudly, her expression very serious.

" Are you really very scared of it ?" before saying this, Xavier didn't believe that he still had such patience to deal with this woman ,since Lilac's death the word patient had been removed from his vocabulary .

Seeing his hand coming to touch it, she shoved it away. She took a pillow from the bed and covered it. "Don't touch it, it's really very scary, it is bleeding all over the place and grabbing people's necks. I was almost strangled by it ,my prince."

" Really!!? ", he also played along, with the look that he was scared too, retrieving his hand, "OK, I won't touch it, dinner is ready. Let's go eat ", he gently carried her out of the messy room.

After taking her out of the room, he called Mrs Leah " clean her up before dinner ", he instructed.

"Yes sir, Ms Davis, please let go," Mrs Leah called two additional maids to help hold her so as to prevent her from doing something extreme.

" Wrong!" Clara suddenly said, seeing the confused look on their faces. She continued addressing me wrongly," she accused them, taking the role of a mistress. Anger could be seen on her beautiful white face, she was unhappy that she was not being recognized.

Mrs Leah turned to Xavier for help. He looked at Clara thoughtfully for sometime before saying " call her madam from now on."

"Yes sir," the maid replied.

"Let go madam," Mrs Leah said, changing the way she addressed her.

Clara nodded with satisfaction as she obediently followed them.

Xavier went back to the room and dug up whatever was under the pile she created and what he saw was actually the photo of his Lilac which he had placed on the bedside table since their wedding night.

She said it was bleeding all over her face and almost strangled her,. She was hallucinating.

He collected the photo, cleaned and placed it back on the bedside table. When he was almost out of the door, he turned back and looked at the messy room and a decision was immediately made.

The next day, Xavier transferred Clara to his seaside. Villa ,along with five maids and a nurse, Alex even volunteered to give her psychological guidance.

" Madam, it's time to take your medicine," nurse Ella said , bringing the medicine into her room.

"I am not sick. Why should I take drugs? Take them away, take them away", sitting on the floor and writing on her easel, Clara yelled angrily at the maid.

"Madam, this is the nutrition medicine specially prepared by your husband just for you, don't you want to take it? " Ella has been taking care of her for a week now, so she knows the technique to make her take her medicine to bring up her prince.

"Really? all right, " Clara kept her painting tools aside and opened her palms. The maid put the pills in her hand and handed her a glass of water. Clara drank the water and frowned, "This water is too sweet." She commented.

" I will change it right away" , Ella took the glass of water and went to change it. This woman is too picky about her medication. She won't take it if it's not sweet and when it's too sweet.

Ella soon returned with another glass of water. She gave a strong sigh of relief when she saw that Clara was still there. She maintained the same position she was when she left. She quickly handed her the glass of water, "Madam, here's the water."

Clara smiled at her before swallowing the pills in her palm, "Okay, I want to paint. Don't disturb me."

Ella was absorbed by her smile.

When she chose to take care of a mentally ill patient, she never expected a patient so beautiful that the heavens are nothing compared to hers, but unfortunately, this beautiful woman was mentally ill.

" Not yet, ma'am ,Mr Qin is around, Mr Qin is Alexander Qin.. He is a patient of Madam." Ella introduced Madam, trying to help her remember.

They didn't want her to know that she was mentally ill, so they could only say it in another way, making it seem as if she was a doctor.

" Mr Alex is so pitiful, well I will talk to him. Then Clara dropped her blush again and went to the balcony where she usually talks to Alex.

The balcony was very relaxing since it faced the sea. Clara was sitting comfortably and happily enjoying her conversation with Alex on a rattan swing chair.

After chatting, they did a simple drawing to see if she was improving.

Every single interaction they have was being transmitted to someone sitting in front of a laptop webcam.

Xavier looked at the woman who was laughing heartily on the screen before him. Who would believe that such a gorgeous woman was a psychopath?

" Boss, the president of the Davis group, is here, he requests to see you," Tony said, knocking at the door.

Let him up, Xavier didn't even take his eyes off the woman on the screen.

Not long ago, Ryan walked in along with his secretary. Xavier reduced the volume of his laptop.

" Xavier, what did you do, my sister ?" As soon as he walked into the room, he demanded to know his cousin's whereabouts.

" Hmm?. You are now worried about her after you used her. Oh , I forgot you never thought of her as a family member. In fact, you people in your family never thought of her as a human being. Xavier leaned on his chair and sneered at him.

" I want to see her " he demanded, ignoring what Xavier had just said.

" You think I will let you see her, he sneered and took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it and puffed out a mouth full of smoke before dropping the news , "she has a mental break, "he said nonchalantly.

Ryan jumped up from his seat trying to grab the man who was speaking as if he was reading a forecast of today's weather, but was stopped by the well-trained Tony.

He pushed Tony away with all his strength and roared at Xavier "Damn it !, what did you do to her ? "

"When you used her did you ever think of the after mass? , "he asked, as though it was none of his business.

" Xavier, you want Clara to be used as compensation ?"

" No, I just want your family to disappear completely. "

" And you think that my family will disappear just because you wished so. Don't be ridiculous."

" You know that I have the time and money to play with your family or do you think I've been playing for the past 13 years? " with a strong mind set, Xavier put out a cigar, he turned the picture frame on his desk and pointed at the girl on the frame. Do you remember her? She has a brilliant smile, right ? " he asked with a vicious smirk.

On seeing the picture, Ryan froze on the spot. He did not dare look at the picture again," it's not us who killed her. The one you should take revenge on has gone to the under world "

" Haven't you heard the saying' the son will pay for the sins of his father ' "Ryan was shocked beyond words,

turned back the picture and said, "if you want to see Clara you can ,but you have to give up all management of Davis Enterprise. "

Ryan was taken aback,as he glared "You are more ruthless than me. Even your wife can be used as negotiation. "

"At least I've never lied to her, I never cheated on her trust,. So how can I be compared to you , Mr Davis ", Xavier said, righteously.

Ryan felt a little guilty , but then he smiled. " Clara has the surname Davis, so it's proper for her to help the family. I am sure she will understand and won't want to be a bond to the family. I am sure she won't blame me for this, Mr Rey. You have miscalculated this time " he answered.

"It's a pity Clara you talk about has lost her sense of judgement. If not, I would have asked her what she thinks about you," Xavier replied, his eyes never leaving the woman on the screen.Ryan saw that his goal could not be achieved, so he left gloomy.

On the screen, Clara sat down seriously competing with Alex. After drawing, Alex checked her painting to see if she was improving. She did not even pay attention to the conversation coming from the speaker above them.

" Thank you very much, Mrs Rey, for coming to play with me " Alex said, closing the archive, reached out and shook her hand before leaving as usual.

There was no loophole and nothing to be suspicious about.

" Tony " Xavier called Tony from the intercom system.

"Yes boss," he answered, coming into the office.

"Remove all the cameras in the village,both in and out"

Tony was surprised by the sudden change of plans. He wondered "boss , is that okay ?" He asked to be sure.

The madam is not a normal person now. If an accident happens, they might be slow to help her.

" What's the problem ? are they not maids and nurses with her? If anything happened it's her own doing."

Xavier's ruthless words came as a surprise to Tony ,who thought that since his wife was now crazy he would show some care towards her. He never expected him to still be this cold, towards her.

Or was it just an illusion what he saw that day ?

" Yes, boss, I will make a call and order them to remove them," he secretly cleaned off the cold sweat on his forehead before running out

After Alex drove out of the villa, a red car parked at a corner drove closer to the mansion. Seeing Alex leave, the driver took out a phone and took some pictures before making a call..

" Proceed with the plan ."
