Norix could only carefully wash the wounds from the ropes. He never expected Clara would be the bait. he felt numb. He was in deep sadness. He regretted leaving her. He regretted not eating the food and leaving her when she fell on the floor after telling him not to leave.
Norix held her hand and kissed it. "Wake up, Clara. I promise I won't leave you alone anymore." He desperately said to her. "I'll eat whatever you feed me, even if it's dirt and clay...just wake up."
Norix stopped when he realized something dropped from his chin. He touched his cheek and it was wet. He cried.
Norix was shaking. He never felt such emotion and so much sadness before. "Clara, wake up." he pleaded. "You said you wanted a baby..." Norix said with a sad smile. "I'll give you a baby."
For a whole day, Norix didn't eat. He knelt beside the bed, waiting for her to open her eyes.
At midnight, everyone was now asleep. Norix was trying to fight his tiredness when he saw her hand twitch.
Norix's sleepiness was gone in a millisecond and he leaned closer and held her hand.
Clara's eyes slowly open and she frowned when she saw Norix.
Norix was confused and shocked at the same time. "Clara...you're awake."
She hurriedly stood up and made her way to the couch, stumbling on her feet, but before she could hit the ground, Norix caught her.
"I-I know you're upset with me." Clara said in a shameful whisper. "I'll leave if you don't want me anymore."
Norix shook his head. He carried her back to the bed and laid her there. "...but I do."
Clara looked at Norix in shock. She thought it was already over...but it really wasn't.
Norix held her hand up to his lips. "I really do want you..." he whispered. "and give you a baby."
Clara's heart was pounding. She really thought that Norix didn't want her anymore but here he is but she didn't believe it.
'This is just a dream. This isn't real.' Clara said to herself. 'But he's here in front of me. I should make the most of it.' She said to herself. 'At least in my dream, he would love me.'

The next day, the sun was peaking through the window.
"It was a dream...but he loved me in that dream." Clara smiled sadly to herself. She started to get up when her legs ached in great pain.
Her eyes widened as she flipped her covers.

It was after another day when she got the strength to walk again. She cleaned herself and her wounds on her legs.
"Good thing he isn't home yet." Clara said to herself. She couldn't believe what happened to her two days ago.
Clara changed into her usual clothes and jittered nervously when she looked at herself in the mirror.
She went to the kitchen to help around and hoped no one would notice. Kimber gasped loudly and laughed as she made Clara look at her and Bailey and Katie.
"Wow. You really got knocked up that much?" Katie exclaimed.
Bailey pointed at Clara. "I didn't know you were a slut."
Madam Qui came in the kitchen and the three girl closed their mouths.
"Clara are you al...right..." Madam Qui was staring at Clara's stomach. Madam Qui looked at her with a dropped jaw. "Is that all his..."
Clara nodded shyly.
Madam Qui asked again. "In just one night?!"
