Chapter 108 Alex proposing to Clara

"No words. Just enjoy" Alex gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders and got her to the table which he designed with so much love.

All the while, Clara was numb. She didn't enjoy his little touch or his words as her whole concentration was on that message. How can someone be so cruel?

She checked the bag and found the papers too. This guy is even near her. She felt so scared to even think about the possibilities of what he might do.

She looked at the glass frame with their combo's name. 'Alexara'. A small dry chuckle escaped her lips. She realized how cursed her life is. Till now she was not fated to have happiness. And now her whole life can be filled with happiness and she couldn't

choose it.

"I never thought that I could do something like this for anyone." Alex's voice broke her monologue.

"Even for Rose, I asked you back then why to bake that cake as we can buy them anytime." Alex chuckled recalling a particular moment.

"Why did you do this then?" Clara asked in a low voice. Maybe they could be happy with those flirts alone. Maybe this blackmail guy wouldn't force her to divorce him then.

"You are special Clara. You deserve more" Alex cupped her cheeks suddenly and all the while Clara just wanted to run away from this setup. She didn't want to hurt him. She didn't want to push him. But she knew that she would actually give those papers to him as the fear empowers all her emotions.

She bowed down, releasing her face from his clutches which he thought out of shyness.

Alex served all the dishes one by one. No special words felt opt to describe how good he made those dishes. Clara had never imagined that there would be someday when someone would do such a thing for her.

"Open the door, Elsa." Jake was knocking on her door continuously but she was in no mood to open it anytime.

"I will not leave the place till you talk to me" Jake sat there and Elsa knew that instant that this guy won't go till she talks to him. He is one adamant fellow.

"What do you want to ask?" Elsa barked at him as she opened the door.

"Oh, so you want to know if those are true or not, right?" Elsa asked, crossing her arms.

"You can ask them yourselves. I will message you, their numbers. So now please don't bother me." Elsa tried to get inside again while Jake pushed her inside and locked the door startling her.

"Stop it and get the hell out of here" Elsa screamed out of her lungs as Jake stood there unaffected.

"I wanted to say," he said as he grabbed her arms harshly.

"It's okay. It's alright. Everything will pass soon" His words were gentle and kind and his tears made her cry more. She couldn't help but to grab him for a hug.

"Everything is not true. They knew that I was just passing the time. But they are now bad-mouthing me." Elsa mumbled in her cries. All the tweets and memes about her made her emotionally drained and she wants someone special to hug her and say these words and that person won't be better than Jake.

"Except for you, everyone was passing clouds" She confessed as Jake froze to the spot. He thought that he was also a passing boyfriend to her but her words made him smile. She had feelings for him?

"So, you loved me?" Jake asked without wasting even a second.

"Not loved. I love you even now." She screamed in her cries. She didn't find it necessary to hide it anymore. She wanted to tell him how much she is distracted because of him.

"I am sorry, Jake, for breaking your heart. But I am " Before she could finish her words, he smashed his lips with hers. Elsa found it so comforting that she was in no mood to leave him anytime.

We can indeed know our friends in our worst times. Jake was the only person to look out for her in her worst days and she realized how important he is to her.

"Thanks for everything, Alex. I had no interest in love or marriage. All I wanted was to just run away from my home and live peacefully with no taunts or torture. But you made me realize what it means to have a person stand by you all time." Clara started stating everything with a small smile. Maybe she could end things on a happy note and leave his life.

"You are the first person to see my vulnerable side. You are the first person to make me happy about myself." Her words made him happy. He wanted to say something nice but she is not at all giving him any chance.

"Listen, let me first tell you something" Alex closed her mouth with his forefinger as she gulped visibly. She knew that if he said anything, it would be damn difficult for her to give those divorce papers.

"When I asked you to marry me, I had only one thought that I will not leave the church like in the past. My bride will be with me." He paused as he neared her side.

"But I guess that was the best decision of my life. I don't know any cheesy lines or romantic words to tell what I feel for you.

Except for this only. I love you, Clara. I have never had this feeling for anyone before. I love your uncertain behaviour. I love your vulnerable side. I love your affection and care. I love your courage. I love everything about you." The Moment Alex explained his heart, he kissed her forehead as she closed her eyes to release tears. How damn she wanted to hear these words.

"I don't think that there would be anything more cheesy than this." her words as usual made him chuckle and he caressed her hair.

"This is what makes you unique, you know?" He replied and he didn't waste further minutes to hug her. He hugged her tightly to express his happiness.

"Your uncertain actions or words." His words got something out from her and she widened her eyes.

"No one can empower you. You are one unique piece and you are mine" His words made her realize something so important about herself.

Of course, he is damn right. She never paid any attention to it till now. She has always done what she finds right. Even with Elena, she endured torture but always had her ways to fulfil what she wished for. Maybe that's what Clara is.

She shouldn't change her identity no matter what.

She will not sacrifice her love life for someone who has no courage to even show his face to her.

She will show him whatever may happen but Clara can never bend down in front of anyone.

If Elena couldn't succeed, who is he to tame her?

With so many thoughts clouding her mind, she looked around to see if she could spot anything unusual. That's when her eyes spotted that webcam at the right corner of the home. And she knew who is watching them through this.

This guy should know whom he is messing up with.

Clara gave her most dangerous smirk as she looked straight at the camera.

The guy who was watching her gripped the glass in his hand as he could sense her direct stare towards him. She is not any normal girl to get scared of. Of course, he could see that already.

Clara gently took her mobile and dropped them inside the wine glass nearby without taking her eyes off from the camera and showed her thumbs down directly.

Without wasting any time, she released herself from the hug as she smashed her lips over Alex's lips, startling that guy particular.

"As I said earlier, my revenge won't end with a single kiss," Alex mumbled in between his kiss while Clara smiled with a blush in response.

"I wouldn't like it if it stops." As usual, her replies made him crazier. He peppered so many kisses over her face as he travelled to her neck.

Clara was surprised and shocked at how she let her guard down easily with Alex. Everything felt so damn right with him and she is excited to live a thrilling life with him. Alex lifted her instantly as she couldn't stop blushing. He entered their room which was also decorated so beautifully by him. Alex kept her in the bed and he had no reason to stop his revenge with a simple kiss for sure.

The guy who was watching them was so mad that he threw the glass over the screen to shatter them into pieces.

"You little witch." He snarled at the broken screen and smashed them further with his legs. He thought that Clara was a timid girl who would dance to his tune and would make his work easier. It seems she is not the one he thought for. Maybe he missed knowing the real Clara. But right now, more than his plan, he is determined to teach her a lesson, a dangerous lesson that she would never ever forget in her entire life.

"Relax. We will find something else to scare her." The lady calmed down the guy but he is in no mood to calm down. He took the photo of Paxton as a sinister smile escaped

his lips.

But the lady was not compromised with his plan. She wanted to stop him. He was in no mood to listen to anyone now. He was like a wounded dog who was hungry for revenge.

Clara would surely regret her actions.
