Chapter 264 - Chapter 264

((( CLAIRE )))

I'm nearly giving birth and there was no assurance that he'll be there.

Especially when Deo called me.

Curiosity killed the cat but would it kill me if I knew what his problem really is?

((( Author's Plug-in )))

…Zhio's dead.

I'm just kidding.

Hahaha. Anyway, I'm happy that you reached this chapter.

Yes readers, the story is still more chapters long.  

Claire will still leave Zhio.

Yes…that'll happen. It's a little depressing but you'll just find out why.

Just comment below if the story is still okay with you. If it's good, press the ★ button like this ★★★... Hahaha.

(ZHIO)

I was jailed for five days for a crime I haven't committed.

But I was freed when the police investigators retrieved a portion of the bomb that was thrown to the auditorium. The shell of the explosive hasn't entirely blown into pieces and the manufacturer has been traced.  

It would only be a matter of days before that evidence lead to the real perpetrators.

But throughout the days of serving that unwarranted penalty, I never let Claire know.

I'm afraid she wouldn't take my side. Whoever orchestrated the bombing would taste the hell I've went through.

I will make them suffer.

(CLAIRE)

I was busily picking flowers in the garden when Mister Simon came.

"Good morning,' I greeted him.

He just nodded in response and busied himself with trimming the topiaries.

"What's the news outside the villa?" I tried to be as polite as I could.

He didn't even turn his head to me.

This old man was really a snob! B

ut I was surprised when he spoke, "As usual…it's chaotic."

"Is that so?"

I plucked the stems that would look good for a bouquet. It'll be a waste if it'll just get trimmed and left to wither.  

"About Zhio…do you have any news?"

I asked again.

He didn't answer.

I could already feel that this old man doesn't like me.

"Ah," I broke the awkward silence,

"Thanks for the flowers." But before I could leave, he spoke.

"Whatever you hear from the outside, don't ever leave Zhio and your baby."

It made the hairs on my nape stand.

"History might just repeat itself," he added.
