Jessica and Clara took the bus to Clara's workplace. They entered the building but were not allowed to see the person in charge but rather were driven out. As they were roughly being pushed out of the building Clara saw they have already replaced her. She sighed and decided it was not worth fighting them. She turns to leave. She held Jessica's hand and pulled her towards the exit. Jessica got confused, held Clara's shoulders and stopped her from moving any further.
"What are you doing?" Jessica said looking at Clara sternly "These people are a bunch of ruthless thieves who only know how to take advantage of the poor. Wait! what! you really gonna let them get away with this?" She questioned
"You said it and you are right, a bunch of ruthless thieves. That is what they are. What I don't understand is, why my best friend wants me to work with a bunch of ruthless thieves. Not only am I working with them but they are my superiors too," Clara said looking at Jessica.
"You are right, we don't need these people. Let's go home," Jessica agreed.
They decided to go back to the clubhouse but Jessica was not satisfied with how the whole issue turned up, so on their way out of the office premises Jessica took their company sign on display and threw it to the ground causing it to break. She pulled Clara and they both run out of the place.
After running for about 10 minutes they realized they were far away from the office.
"Jessica, what did you do that for?" Clara asked panting for air after that unplanned running.
"What!, that will cost them more than 10 dollars to fix. It will teach them to treat their employees right," She said and sat on a nearby bench and took a bottle of water out of her bag and drank it.
"Let's go home, I am sure they are looking for us. I hope they don't call the police on us. You didn't have to do that," Clara said worriedly.
Before Clara could take a step someone grabbed her by her collar and Jessica's eyes widened choking on the water she was drinking. She quickly got up and came to Clara's rescue. Clara turned to see it was, the in-charge of the office she was working as a janitor.
"You destroyed our company signpost which caused 750 dollars to make. Is either you pay or I hand you over to the police," she said angrily.
"I don't have that kind of money. If you allow me, I will work it off" Clara suggested.
"That is what you get when you pay your employees 10 dollars for working from 5 am to 3 pm. If you don't pay your employees right, then get ready to spend money repairing stuff in your shop," Jessica said with a smirk.
The in-charge stood for a while looking at Jessica. She feared Jessica may destroy more things in her small company if she insist on Clara paying. She turned and left them.
"And that my friend is how you deal with a thug in an expensive outfit," Jessica said and pulled Clara towards the bus stop.
The bus stopped and Jessica asked Clara to get on the bus and go back, informing her she will see her later in the evening at the club.
Clara nodded and got on the bus. The seats were all occupied so she stood in the middle and held on to the pole above her. She got down at her junction and walked into the nearby shop to get something to eat but got nothing. She went to the club to clean up. Laura walked in as she was getting the places ready
"You are back," she said smiling.
"It wasn't bad was it?" She waited for an answer but Clara said nothing "Bring me that chair" she said pointing to a chair at the corner of the bar
Clara stopped cleaning the tables and went to bring her the chair
"I don't need it, seeing you are walking fine, tells me, that man didn't break your legs," She walked towards the bar "That guy was too tall and tough, I wondered if you could handle him. I see you handle him fine,"
Clara pressed her lips but said nothing and continue cleaning the place. She was done and Laura handed her a bikini to wear for the night. Clara looked at the dress and was unhappy.
"Aunty, I can't wear this, I will be walking practically naked while serving drinks," she said with an unhappy face.
"Well, girl, your face doesn't make me the money. This is what will make me money, so you have two options, is either you wear it or get the hell out of my club" She yelled at her.
Clara looked at her and walked out of the place. She went out and was walking down the street not sure where she was going. It was a few minutes to 6 pm, the sun has already set and the streets were gradually lighting up.
Clara did not know how far she had walked until she saw two strange-looking people walking toward her. She turned to walk back but realized they were following her. She started running and they started chasing her.
She started screaming while running. The two strange-looking guys were too fast they caught up with her and one of them grabbed her by her clothes causing her to stumble and fall. Her head hit a railing by the walkway. She screamed and passed out.
Clara did not know how long she was out but when she opened her eyes, she was on a bed. She tried to get up but felt a sharp pain in her head. She sat on the bed and raised her hand to touch her head and realized it was bandaged.
She looked around and realize the place was familiar but that wasn't her small room. She lifted her gaze and saw sitting on the sofa was Ragnor. She shut her eyes thinking she was imagining him. She opened her eyes again and this time he was right in front of her staring into her eyes.
"What were you doing down the road alone at that late hour," he asked, his voice alluring.
"Er.. er... I..was.." Clara stammered but still couldn't complete her sentence feeling very uneasy with this man up in her face.
Ragnor smiled and put a distance between himself and Clara after feeling her uneasiness. He sat on the bed.
"Have you eaten?" He asked with a smile on his face.
Clara was just staring at him not hearing anything he was saying, she could only see his lips move, his eyes blinked and his gloriously beautiful face. This man is too handsome. Does he have siblings, his parents must have extraordinary beauty to have such a handsome man. He is just perfect.
Ragnor smiled and got up from the bed. He carried Clara in his arms to the dining area. The butler pulled a seat out seeing his master carrying Clara. He gently placed Clara on the seat and food was immediately served. He picked up the chopsticks before Clara could take them and he fed her. Clara was in a daze but she still opened her mouth to take the food when he brings it to her mouth.
"Do you want some more?" He asked looking at her.
Clara could not talk so she just shook her head to say "no".
He placed the chopsticks down and carried her back to the bedroom and placed her on the sofa.
"How did you find me?" Clara asked curiously.
"I was coming over to the clubhouse and I heard someone screaming. I followed the sound and found you," He answered.
"Thank you," Clara said with a smile. "This is the second time you are saving me," she added
Ragnor said nothing but sat on the sofa next to her and pulled her into his arms. Clara just placed her head on his chest. She could hear his calm heartbeat.
Clara woke up and she was on the bed, in a pyjama and no Ragnor. She started wondering if Ragnor changed her clothes for her and how come she didn't feel anything.
Clara was chased by two unknown people. In her attempt to run away from the two strangers, she fell and hit her head against the sidewalk railing causing her to pass out. She woke up in Ragnor's mansion and after a short conversation, she slept off and woke up wearing pyjamas and on a bed. Clara got down from the bed yawning and stretching. She found a glass of water and medication on the bedside table with clear instructions 'eat me, 'drink me'.Clara took the medication and after studying it for a while she took it and drank the water. She walked to the window and was looking outside. There was a beautiful garden with a swing. A pond not far away from the garden. Clara smiled enjoying the view outside and was excited to see a swing. She had only seen them in pictures and never had the chance to sit on one. Laura also never allowed her to make friends with other people aside from Jessica. "Do you like what you see?" Ragnor asked leaning against the door frame at the entrance weari
Ragnor was annoyed by how Laura was treating Clara. Even though he didn't say anything his terrifying aura was enough to scare off anyone in the same room with him. He sat down at his usual spot, the table close to the entrance in the corner. He watched as Clara cleaned all the seats and tables. His terrifying aura soon turned into a loving one.Laura who was watching this strange man from the private room secretly, could tell this man had eyes for Clara but how? He was a strange kind of fellow as it appears no one knows him but he is seriously rich. He could just pull bundles of money from his pocket. Laura was wondering, how much more money he has, who is he and where does he come from?The rich people of San Francisco are well known. Well maybe getting his name will help her find out more about him. These were the thoughts running through Laura's mind. She was still watching him and thinking when her gaze and that of Ragnor met. She jolted backwards.From the look in his eyes she c
Laura took money from a man and tried to give Clara to him for his pleasure against Clara's will. Ragnor arrived at the scene and took Clara away. While Laura was standing outside wondering who Ragnor was, a mysterious lady got down from a car which almost hit Laura on its arrival. "Who is the woman in the car that just drove off?" asked Princess Siku, her gaze fixated on the golden ring on her middle finger on the left hand.Laura turned to look behind her and around, realizing she was standing outside alone with the strange woman, pointed to herself and asked"Are you talking to me?" Laura asked a bit terrified."Do you see any other puppy around?" Princess Siku asked, fixing her gaze on Laura.She looked at Laura for a while and smiled"Huh! are you calling me a puppy?" Laura laughed mockingly"I know you didn't part those pretty lips of yours to call me a puppy. Anyway, you sure do have a pretty lip. What lipstick do you use?" Laura asked with curiosity.The lady took two steps a
Princess Siku had come to the City of San Francisco to look for Ragnor as he is her will-be husband. To her disappointment, not only did she find him with another woman, a human, but she was driven out of the mansion.She was driven out because of a human girl, a nobody. She, Princess Siku, is of royal blood and the next queen, yet Ragnor drove her out because of a human girl. Princess Siku was unhappy about this turn of events and could only do one thing, report the incident to the King, Ragnor's father. Princess Siku made a decision to tell Rganor's father, the reigning King everything on her way back home.Somewhere in the thick forest outside human civilization, lies Ufalme wa Kutokufa, meaning the Kingdom of Immortal. Many humans who have ventured to enter this Kingdom did not leave to tell the story. There have been scary stories about what is in the middle of the thick forest but no one has dared to confirm the stories. Princess Siku arrived at the breathtaking city, their te
The palace guard has come all the way to San Francisco to deliver the King's message. A summon for Ragnor to appear in the palace. The guard had addressed Ragnor as the prince when he sorted permission to leave. Clara was coming into the living room, so she heard Ragnor being addressed as a prince. "Prince, Ragnor, you are a Prince?" she asked softly descending the stairs.Ragnor, ignoring her question, turned his attention from Clara to the butler who had just walked in with one of the servants trailing behind him."Was someone not supposed to get a servant to help my princess out?" He said with an indifferent expression"Apologies master, it won't happen again," he said and bowed his head respectfully and exited the living room with the servant. Clara walked towards Ragnor, stopping in front of him. Raising her head to look him in the eye she asked"Why don't you want to answer me directly? Who was that man, that left, just now, he is not dressed for a movie is he?"Ragnor closed
Ragnor was summoned to the palace after Princess Siku reported his affair with a human girl to the King. Ragnor had to leave Clara alone in the mansion to see his parents, something he wished he didn't have to do because he couldn't bear to be away from Clara. To ensure Clara did not feel lonely in his absence he instructed his servant to bring over her best friend Jessica to keep her company. Ragnor did not trust Clara would be safe alone, now that Princess Siku was aware of her existence, so he assigned a chauffeur to watch over her. Ragnor had arrived at the palace and was welcomed by his mum. He was unhappy to see Princess Siku and he didn't hide it "Don't you have a home?" He asked with traces of anger in his voice "I do. I just came over to welcome you as a good fiancée will do when your mum informed me you were coming today" She replied with a smile "Is that a crime?" She added Ragnor rolled his eyes and walked past her into the main hall. His mother was walking right next
Ragnor had gone to see his parents upon invitation. Jessica was brought over to Ragnor's mansion to keep Clara company. Upon arrival and seeing the luxury, she decided in her heart, she will take Ragnor away from Clara. Everyone retired to their rooms, with Ragnor and Clara missing each other. It's just been a day since Ragnor left for the palace and Clara was already missing him so much that she couldn't sleep. She decided to watch Tv to while away the time. She went to the living room and sat on the sofa with her legs folded under her.Jessica was still in bed fast asleep. She had not had such comfort in a lifetime. She had one leg on her pillow, her hair spread across the bed and her face, her right hand was hanging by the side of the bed and her head almost at the foot of the bed. The cloth was just covering a part of her body leaving other parts exposed.Clara watched the TV for a while and wish she could call Ragnor, but she didn't have his contact. Ragnor was equally awake. He
Jessica hatches a plan against Clara to get her out of the way so she can pursue Ragnor. For her plan to succeed, she distracted the chauffeur, Jake by seducing him. Ragnor returned to San Francisco after being away for just two days to save Clara who is now bonded to him and hence could feel her pain miles away. He found Clara and brought her back to his mansion where he tended to her.Jessica was clueless about the real identity of Jack, the chauffeur. The butler had assigned Jack, a vampire, because of their unique ability to hear others' thoughts and sense danger, to keep them safe as instructed by Ragnor. Ragnor had lots of servants in the house, however, the heads of these servants are all vampires like himself. The butler, Jack, the head of the chauffeur and Ragnor himself. However, Jack was not happy with his assigned task of taking care of a human girl and hence did not pay much attention to anything. To him, Clara was just like any other human girl Ragnor had brought home
