Loved by chance

Chapter 3

Clare's pov

It's already morning, a new day and I'm still confused about what course of action I should take. Anna is most likely not to listen to me. I wish things were different. I wish I could finish my studies and find love like normal people and not to be forced into marriage for a stupid business deal'

'Good morning Clare' greeted Emily

'Morning'

'Why the sad look on your face'

'Nothing much, I'm just thinking about my current situation. I'm so confused at this point'

'I have an idea but it's a really crazy one'

'What's that'

'Promise you will agree first'

'I can't promise you that'

'Arrrghh, just trust me okay'

'Okay, but please let it not be something unthinkable or too crazy'

'Why don't you run away for a while, just go out of town till your step sister has no choice but to marry him'

I stare at Emily in total disbelief, I knew she would come up with something so crazy. There are many reasons this plan wouldn't work out. My family is very powerful and it would take them minutes to track me down.

'It won't work Emmy, it wouldn't take my grandma much time to find me and where exactly would I even run to?'

'You can stay with my aunt for a while. None of your family members know about her and it would be the last place they would look. I can lie about not knowing your whereabouts if asked'

'Emmy, are you sure about this?'

'I'm eighty percent sure about this Clare. I just need you to trust me on this'

'I don't have clothes or money at the moment'

'That's not a problem, I packed some stuff you might need when you were sleeping and I have called my aunt already. She's willing to help'

'Thank you so much Emmy, what can I do without you'

'Absolutely nothing darl' says Emily as she giggles.

'I'm just joking. You can do a lot of things without me'
