She is going down
Clair pov
"Remember?" I asked. My voice sounded more like a tiny squeak. My heart raced. Was he really recalling his past memories?
"Yes. At least some of it." He smiled at his father. "Dad…" he croaked and tears started to roll out of his eyes.
"It's okay son." His father's voice was shaky when he spoke. Obviously, both of them were overwhelmed with emotions. As I glanced in between them, I felt my own eyes well with tears, which I quickly wiped away with my hands.
"But…..why am I here? The last thing I remember was pushing you away, because Pamela was going to hit you with a chair." He frowned. I sighed.
"I guess you received the blow for me." I mumbled. He mouthed a wow and laid silently on

Only you Is he gone....?
Clair povWe had waited until night fell to attack and spent the entire day planning our moves. Levi had told us that the bar opened at night and it most probably would be the easiest time to strike. I just hope that they didn't take Nolan elsewhere."But I don't think they will be stupid enough to take Nolan to her house. Everyone will know that we will look for him." Henry stated"That's true," Austin responded. "We only have one choice. And that is to force one of their men to spill the secrets." He added."How?" I asked, feeling anxious, and silently praying that my baby is fine."We go to the bar, and abduct one of them," Austin replied. "And then after that, we decide what we do next. And Clair, I need you to recognise anyone who you saw in her house last night." He answered.I gulped and nodded. "Okay. I'm ready to do anything for him." He said.
Only you How it began
To say that Clair was scared would be an understatement. However, she was ready to face it. She has had enough in this hell hole. She has seen and felt enough pain in this grand mansion that she would rather describe as a dungeon. A dungeon where girls were violated over and over again. Naive, young girls the Mr. Stone and his gang kidnap from the countryside. Then they would simply sell them off as if they were cattle, and now, Clair has had enough of it. She too was a victim. She didn't know if it was her good luck or not that Mr. Stone liked her so much that he kept her for himself. Clair looked out of the window in anticipation. Lilli had told her that they would carry-out the plan tonight. By the time Mr. Stone returned from the funeral of his friend, this place would have been invaded.
Only you I'm sorry
Clair pov. I watched silently as they prepared to leave. My heart continued to weep for him. For us. But how could I give us a chance? He deserved the best things in the world. Not someone like me. Not someone who is still fighting to forget those horrible memories of being forcefully removed from your home. Or those terrible flashbacks of how me and the other girls were transferred in food containers by those heartless human traffickers. In addition to those unwanted memories, my sleep is haunted by nightmares of Mr. Stone. The one who owned me. Who enslaved me during my mid teens. I was barely eighteen when I got pregnant with my first child, Nolan. He is the one who fathered my child. But I refuse to acknowledge him as his father. He is not worthy of being called a father. And I most certainly don’t want to let my child know that he is related to such a vile man. I was lost in my own thoughts when Levi walked in front of me and extended
Only you Next day
NarratorClair managed to fall asleep after a long time. However, her sleep was far from being peaceful. She tossed and turned on her bed. Little beads of sweat formed on her forehead due to her distress.She was running away from him. How in the world did he wake up from his eternal sleep? How was it even possible that he came back from death. Aren’t dead people supposed to stay dead? She glanced over her shoulder as she continued to run through the thick foliage of the forest. But as soon as she did, she wished she didn’t look back. What she saw made her heart want to jump out of her rib cage.There was this ghostly figure running after her – no galloping after her on all fours. It’s face was Mr. Stone’s, however it was rather pale and it looked as if it was partly decayed. There was blood and drool coming out of the corners of it’s mouth. It’s clothes were torn and tattered and pieces of fabric flew with the breeze as
Only you No time for love
Clair pov.It was always fun to spend time with the gang. They always made the place more active and enjoyable. And with our mother figure pestering Henry and Lilli for grand kids, the fun is doubled. Austin and Adira left for their two week long trip right after we all had breakfast.I made sure that Nolan had a good breakfast before I started to have my own. He was giggling as he toddled across the vast dining room, while Henry’s mom pretended to catch him. His little giggles always made my lifeless flutter with excitement. He was such a blessing for me. If not for him, my nightmares and traumatic memories would have made me want to give up on life.“Aww.... Little Nolan wants to play.” Henry’s mom cooed.“Clair, dear. Can I take him to the play room. It would be easier for you to eat.” She asked looking at me hopefully.I giggled. She didn’t really have to ask.“Of course Gabby aunty.”
Only you Contemplating
Clair pov. I hastened towards the living room where I knew Lilli would most probably be waiting for me. She most probably would be already searching the university website, looking for a suitable course for me to start. But I was wrong. She was nowhere to be seen. Shrugging, I dashed up the stairs. If she was not in the living room, she most probably would be in her room. I walked up to her room and was about to knock when I thought I heard her sobs. Furrowing my eyebrows, I leaned against the door to be sure of it. “Henry.... It has been over a year now. Why isn’t it still not happening?” It most certainly was Lilli’s voice. She was......crying? But why? “Hey ....babe. I’m sure it will. With time.” Henry tried to c
Only you Compelled to go out
Narrator. Days passed by, and by the time Adira and Austin came back from their honeymoon, Clair had successfully taken care of all the awareness programs that they had planned while Lilli and Henry looked after the business and other matters of the empire. Adira and Austin went through the files and they were satisfied to see that everything was in place as they wanted them to be. It is not that Austin and Adira doubted their capabilities. They were certain that they would prove themselves to be the best people to be around. Henry, Clair and Lilli waited for their approval in the office as they flipped through the papers. “Great. You guys have done an excellent job.” Austin uttered, nodding with a satisfied smile on his lips. “Yes. This is commendable Clair. I
Only you Compelled to go out 2
Clair pov. Still feeling anxious about tonight, I walked briskly from the office towards my room. I closed the door as soon as I entered and let out a whoosh of breath, hoping to calm myself down. But my heart was still frantic. What if I panic there? What if those memories make it so hard for me to enjoy? Or worse. What if I stumble across someone who knew I was the girl Mr. Stone used to keep for himself? My anxiety skyrocketed at that thought. No. No. That cannot happen. No one should know that it was me. No one can know about my past. I started to feel dizzy and I felt as if the whole room was spinning. My breathing laboured. I took desperate deep gasps of breath as I held on to my head and leaned against the closed door. The whole room felt hot, despite the turned on air conditioner and little beads of sweat soaked my shirt.&nbs
