Bonus Chapter 1

Life is not a destination to reach but it is a journey to enjoy.

Roselyn had a very beautiful life until John Williams destroyed it for no particular reason. But those 5 years of miseries taught her a lifetime lesson. She should not act from mind but heart.

Whereas for Clara, she learned very early that not to judge anything from the heart but from the mind. She trusted many people and was betrayed by the same. But still, she didn't lose hope in trust. She gave so many chances to her life and it finally paid off when the most miserable decision was made by her father.

Alex has no regrets in his life. But with Clara, he regrets not being there when she was having a hard time. Alex is the perfect guy to blend everything perfectly. He made mistakes, he learned from them. He suffered, he won at last. But never did he regret making mistakes. He is even clear that if given a chance he would make the same mistake because that's what made him stronger.

Sandy is like a cracker in everyone's life. He laughed when he went around. But his pain was so deep and intense that he never allowed anyone to look into it. He and Clara have a similar way of handling their pain. To act boldly and hurt people around them if they are hurt. But eventually, he realized that life is more beautiful to waste on such things.

"We shouldn't be late" Alina yelled at everyone who came there as if they were being forced to come.

"If you show this face, do you think I will leave you?" Alina asked, crossing her arms.

"I don't want to attend this function." Clara was the first one to break the silence. But she got ready in a golden shimmery gown with matching accessories.

"Let's go. Don't turn your mood off." Alex grabbed her from the backside as placed a gentle kiss on her earlobe. She can do anything if Alex says so. So, she plastered a smile and followed Alex.

Rose came down with a small baby bump and of course pink cheeks. Sandy was very careful with her.

"Omg. She is walking. How careless you are" Clara gasped as Sandy stood there all annoyed. She always pulls his legs whenever he pampers Rose. Now it went overboard.

"She can't walk, lifts her." Clara gave an.

idea as everyone laughed at Sandy.

"But I guess you are right!" Sandy's words made her gape at him. Sandy lifted her at once and Clara scoffed at his cringe scenes. He always annoys her like a real sibling.

"Leave him, he has a habit of doing drama every day" Alex grabbed Clara to his side as Sandy gaped at his words.

"How do you want to go there?" Alex asked and Clara's eyes twinkled in response. She wanted to go there in a particular way and she is damn sure that no one would agree to her demand. So, her face fell instantly realizing that already.

"I can even bring a chopper if you say" Alex assured Clara but still her face was dull.

"I wanted to drive a two-wheeler with you. I didn't want to attend this function. But it's just for Alina and Kiara, I am attending it. So, if I could go there in a two-wheeler" She paused when she met with the scrutinized eyes of Sandy alone. Sandy can never agree to this stupid demand ever.

"Think before you speak. You are not alone." Sandy spoke, gritting his teeth as Clara hid behind Alex. She pressed her small flat tummy and pouted again. She is happy that finally, they are expecting a small baby. But should she sacrifice her small happiness?

"If my wife wants to do anything, she will do it. She doesn't need permission" Alex's words startled everyone. He can't accept this stupid demand. Can he? Clara smiled broadly hearing his words. She pressed her tummy a little stronger and eyed her baby.

"See, I am more important than you." She clicked her tongue at that small embryo which didn't even start to develop.

Alex called Mac and arranged for it. Sandy stood there crossing his arms.

"I will kill you, Alex" Sandy yelled again while Alex paid no attention to it.

Sandy got double responsibility since Clara gave this good news. It was always Sandy who took care of the two ladies to make sure they were safe. But Alex on the other hand was like a grandparent who would spoil their kids with whatever they demand for. Alex did everything to fulfil those small wishes of Rose even if it could harm the baby. Like food items. But Alex made sure to be so careful. It always went unnoticed.

A big two-wheeler came there and Sandy smiled in response. Of course, Alex's method of pampering is on another level.

The two-wheeler was safely attached with spare wheels on either side and it was like a car with no roof. But Clara didn't mind. She is too excited to ride this with her Alex.

"Will meet in the hall" Alex spoke with a wink as he made Clara sit safely first and secured her with a belt and he started driving the vehicle at a low speed. Clara looped her arms around his waist as she kept her chin over his shoulder. The cool breeze touched her face and she felt heaven.

"Am I a selfish mom?" Clara asked with a pout. She saw how Rose was very careful and was taking so much effort just for the unborn baby. But Clara on the other side was so excited to get pampered by all, taking the unborn baby as an excuse.

"That girl who took a risk to save everyone around her and walked with that dangerous psycho can be anything but selfish" Alex replied calmly. He still was so much amused by her courage back then when she followed John with a little hope that Alex will find her soon.

"Wait, did you remember that one?" Clara asked, all excited. These days, Alex recalled many things but still, he was not sure how he broke up with Sana and how he married Clara.

"I remember everything." His deep voice made her sad. He did remember every damn thing he did with Sandy. He did remember what Sana did with him. Everything.

"Don't regret anything. You are the best and you deserve happiness" Clara spoke as she kissed the back of his earlobe.

He smiled in response and they reached the hall just at the time. Clara pouted seeing Elsa's bright picture at the entrance.

"I can't be happy with her happiness. I know it's wrong. But I hate her." Clara mumbled as Alex hugged her from sideways.

"But I am so grateful for her." His words made her turn to his side suddenly with a sharp gaze.

"She ran away and that's how I got you." His reply made her blush but still, he should not be grateful for her.

"You got me because I agreed to it," Clara replied angrily and Alex could only chuckle at his wife.

"Can I get my sister?" Paxton's voice made them turn to the entrance side.

"Sister. Hope he is taking good care of you and my princess?" Paxton asked, eyeing Alex, that he still doesn't trust this person at all.

"Why should it be a princess?" Clara began her argument again and both Paxton and Alex sighed tiredly. She is so adamant to have a baby boy. But Alex wants a girl. This is the only thing that Alex doesn't give in to Clara's demand.

Clara entered the bride's room. Elsa wore a beautiful sleeveless gown. She looked absolutely beautiful.

"You have always wanted this, right? This is my wedding gift for you." Clara gave a big parcel to Elsa. Elsa opened them without a word. It was a doll house specifically designed by Ron for Clara when she was just 4 years old. Elsa scoffed at Clara and kept that dollhouse aside as she turned to her side with a poker face.

"I never wanted your toys or anything. I wanted to play with you. I wanted to be your friend. But you have always pushed me like a rag of bullshit." Elsa didn't want to reveal this. But seeing Clara in the dark for so many years, she couldn't help but spat those. Clara froze to the spot hearing these. She hell never thought that there could be a story from everyone. She thought that she was bullied right from her childhood.

Clara recalled all those incidents when Elena purposefully made Clara believe that Elsa was snatching Ron from her. Clara realized that how could a 4 years old girl could plot and plan? But she is also not at fault as she was just 6 years old when she finally hated Elsa. The bitterness in Elsa's heart turned so evil and she didn't think once to destroy Clara's childhood.

Now nothing can be done.

"Anyways, thanks for your wishes." Elsa snapped and turned away angrily. For the first time, Clara felt like not replying to Elsa. She left the place hurriedly and bumped into

someone.

"Can't you see?" Sandy yelled at Clara as he gently made her sit there. Clara drank the water and looked at Jason who just bumped into her.

"Wow, you had the time to attend this shitty function but not to at least visit me once?" Clara yelled at Jason who looked here and there gulping his saliva.

"Jassy." Someone called Jason from behind.

"Jassy?" Clara widened her eyes as she looked at the person.
