Clara's pov
Everything happened within the blink of an eye
Holding onto to my parent's picture I weeped
“I am married” I whispered to the picture and weeped more
If there's anything I am grateful for on this day is that Damien is not forcing anything on me and I appreciate it so much
Having lunch with his family the next day was another problem I had to face
His father's stern look and Becca's questions was another thing to go through tomorrow
Sitting at the dining with his family silently made me more nervous
The food seems so tasteless and I just want to disappear
After lunch Becca started asking questions as expected but the one that shocked me most was the have we done it question
“Stop prying into their lives Becca” father warned with a harsh tone which made Becca shut up
I thought that was the end but Becca asked if I liked her gift
What gift?
“Honeymoon in Paris”
I gasped
Honeymoon?
Yes she answered and start ranting on and on about it
Just when I thought I got off for a while Becca hooked me back in
She also said we are going shopping for honeymoon wears as we are leaving next week
**The next day**
Trying on different dresses as Becca sat on the sofa
I wonder who is more worst between this siblings
They really love shopping
Coming out of the changing room,I have lost count of the dresses I have tried on
I saw someone I never wanted to see again
Someone I hoped I will never meet again not in this life and not in another
Isabella my aunt’s daughter
She is talking to Becca and smiling so foolishly
As soon as she saw me her mood change and she asked what I was doing here
You guys know each other? Becca asks
She is my cousin
Cousin?
I thought you had no family
Why weren't you there on her wedding
Becca starts throwing questions and I just stand there nervously without a word
Married? Clara is married? To who
My brother of course
Wh what Clara is a Wellerstein?
How? Why?
I want to get out of here
I need to go home I said as I started walking out while Becca followed me
Getting to the car I start crying unable to hold back my tears
I decided to explain everything to Becca as I don't want to misunderstand me for a scam or anything
I don't think I can take that right now
Does my brother know about this?
I nodded negatively
You should tell him about it
Becca dropped me home and ask me to get some rest after I have promised her to tell Damien about my past but the truth is I don't know how to do that
What if he returns me their after knowing I ran away
I prefer how peaceful it was when he didn't ask more after I told him I am just an orphan but having to tell him the whole story will be a problem
I don't think I can do this
I remember where I heard Damien's surname
It was from my aunt
They are always talking about how big the Wellersteins are and how much power they hold in the country and in business
I took out my phone
Damien bought me a phone but I never really used it
Searching for the name Wellerstein on the internet made me gasp
The biggest business owner in the whole country
Rumored to be mafia
I can also see my wedding news here
Mr Wellerstein’s mysterious bride
What I saw next shocked me
A picture of my aunt and Damien
It is a recent picture
How come
Does she know I am here
Then why was her daughter surprised to see me
The caption shocked me more
Mr Wellerstein and his inlaw
