Chapter 75
t—was none other than Shane herself, all Ciara
As soon as she confirmed that the one who visited her–the boss they were talking about–w could see was murder.
She has been trying to lessen her hate for her as she tried to understand that Shane was deeply hurt by the loss of her child, even though she made Ciara as displacement for the death of the baby Ciara knew she didn’t commit to.
But now, to see her in front of her smiling as if she was so satisfied seeing her at her lowest, the sympathy she felt for her was like a bubble that suddenly popped. No amount can describe how much she hates her now, and she can’t grasp any concern for whatever she is battling with; she needed to kidnap her just because of an accident. Ciara was aware she was innocent.
But then, what hurt her the most was the realization that Callum had probably snitched. Worse, it might be their biggest plan, and she took the bait.
When Shane saw how her tears pooled and the betrayal mingled in her devastated expression, she laughed hysterically.
“Oh, look at the unbothered and cold bitch I knew! You are really crying now, huh?” She pointed out that her grin was just mockingly teasing Ciara.
Clara put her hands into her fist as her shoulder rocked, and she bowed a bit as she cried. She doesn’t want to hide how hurt she is and how betrayed she feels at the moment, as soon as she realizes what is happening.
She wanted to save Callum in her mind, but the evidence was already in front of her, and she was already sure that the bass they were talking about might be Callum, whom she only told about the proposal Mr. Johnson offered.
Shane laughed even more, as she was so pleased to see the pain in Ciara, who looked so hurt. To see her in her wreck state–her hair was already disheveled, her lipstick was already scattering out of her lips–it just showed that she was touched by the man she was with, and it was making Shane more satisfied that she was able to witness the person whom she labeled as the killer of her child taste her own medicine after what she had done to her.
Her bodyguard put a chair in the middle, inches away from Ciara, as she gestured using her fingers, and the bodyguard moved forward to Clara, who was still crying.
“Enough with
your drama, bitch. Let’s get to real business here. You see, Callum has done a lot of planning just to get your trust, and look at you now, you’ve really proven to me that you weren’t that untouchable, huh? You will always take his bait for you because you are that damn obsessed with my man,” Shane said aggressively as she gritted her teeth
Ciara was already expecting that Callum might be part of it, but to really hear it from Shane’s mouth still made such an impact on her system that she got goosebumps, and her shattered heart was now completely in the dust.
She was only used for business agendas, as her heart was played at. Her lips trembled so hard while her shoulder rocked continuously as her tears dropped onto her legs uncontrollably.
“Oh poor woman, you must be imagining that Callum is willing to marry you just because you proposed, huh? Don’t you know that it was one of his tactics? Even his parents knew what he was doing, and they were supporting him because they knew how hustler Callum was when it came to tactics. That’s the reason why he has managed to climb to the top, Ciara.”
She clutched the hem of her dress as her tears were now dropping on her knuckles. The man put the folder in front of her on the table and opened it.
“Now, I want you to sign it and to reject the proposal offered to you by the Royale.
Clara’s anger was bigger than her fear now that she wasn’t afraid to die right there and then anymore because of how she snapped at the revelation that she was only used as a device for Callum’s cunning plans.
She pushed the folder roughly out of the table as she glared at Shane intently while the papers scattered on the floor.
“You think I will let you two use me again? If I am the only key so he can climb up to the top, then I will not serve it. He will remain on the low, so you two would still look good with each other,” she said fearlessly in her bloodshot eyes.
Shane’s smile was now turning into sarcasm as if she were losing her patience with her.
“Oh? Where’s your obsession with Callum? I thought you were so madly in love with him. finally realize that Callum would never settle with someone like you” She asked bluntly.
n. But what’s the sudden change of mind! You
She was very heartbroken. It was deeper compared to what she felt in the past. The pain was beyond immeasurable, and it was Incomparable, as she felt like she really died because of the betrayal.
Chapter 73
Callum, her fiance whom she only fell in love with, the man whom she gave a second chance because she thought he deserved it, was also the man who told her that she should not welcome those people who hurt her once because they would just do it again.
And she learned her lesson in a harsh and torturous way. She wasn’t just betrayed, but Callum made a fool of her. He made her fall for him again so deeply that she already reached rock bottom and was unable to swim back to the surface because of the way he gave her
assurance.
But those were all just part of his pretentious plans to deceive you, Ciara! He really meant to snap and break you so he would have his way into you and use you for the second time through his plans on getting to the top and replacing your clan on the number one list of the most influential and wealthiest clans existing!
That demon! How dare he! I should have known better! I am now regretting why I fell for him, expecting he would raise heaven for me when I blindly looked at his paradise laced with laval I should have listened to the voices in my head telling me that he was up to something!
“Sign it and don’t test my temper,” Shane ordered as her bodyguard picked up the papers on the floor and put them back on the table.
Ciara looked at the paper as she read it through her mind. And to see how it also indicated that the proposal would be given to Callum Haynes angered her to the core. The name of the man she was now loathing was presented right in front of her.
“If you don’t sign it, Callum will make sure that you see your daughter next to you crying and begging for your help. Do you want that, huh?” Shane warned.
Ciara looked at her with a dagger. “You think you can touch my daughter now that my clan might have an idea that I was kidnapped?” Shane smirked. “Oh, I like your guts. You have forgotten that they don’t know that Callum is the mastermind of this. And your daughter trusts him. For sure, it would be easy for Callum to set up another bait for you if you didn’t cooperate with us. He has come this far. He abducted you to threaten you, and yet you think he would show mercy to your daughter too? You really don’t know him, huh?”
Ciara was already in pure rage. She wanted to just teleport in front of Callum and show him how much she hated him to the core. She was blaming him for making Shane make it into her life because of Callum. And no matter what kind of explanation he would give, she knew that no words could heal how hurt she was at the moment.
“Sign it, Ciara. Sign it like how obsessed you are with Callum,” Shane urged.
“If there is anyone obsessed with Callum here, it might be you, Shane.”
Shane laughed. “Really? Oh, please, Callum prioritizes me more than you. Callum would rather turn his back on you than on me. That’s how he’s also obsessed with me. Clara”
Ciara laughed, despite the situation she was in. Or she was really going crazy by what’s happening to her, and she’s hearing bullshit things about Shane.
“Really? How come he would be so thrilled about me in each place if he was only obsessed with you? Don’t you satisfy him that he needed to me to fulfill what you are incapable of giving to him?”
