After packing everything out of her suitcases, she caught a glimpse of a few stacked papers and reports neatly compiled in a file; these are all Clarissa's credentials, works, and even some of her school transcripts. But what caught her eye was a medical report from one of the small clinics located on the outskirts of the city.
She had never bothered to inspect anything that belonged to Clarissa before, so she left everything untouched except for her ID and a few other cards she needed to use for identification purposes.
Taking the medical reports, she sat on her bed, reading every single one of them. Her eyes trail in every word the reports show without missing anything. She read it a few times to make sure what she read was correct and her mind wasn't playing some cruel tricks on her.
Tears...
She burst into tears while gripping the copies of documents and sat there for a while, hugging her knees and rocking back and forth, trying to make sense of everything that had happened.
She was pregnant...
That is what was written on the paper. She was pregnant and not enough; another report shows a medically induced abortion was performed four months after the first pregnancy confirmation reports.
Flashback engulfs her the night when Clarissa died when she begged for her to let go. Her screams of desperation, saying he is dead, over and over, pierced Remi, that is flooded with tears. It made sense. Does all of it make sense?
The text messages, the murder attempt. Clarissa has been involved with someone she should not have. Her crime was love. And she paid for it with her innocent child's life. Not enough, they had pushed her to the brink of insanity, and now she is here replacing Clarissa; they won't stop until they kill her.
Regardless, she needed a backup and to go further in-depth to find out who is the man that impregnated Clarissa. Was he responsible for this? In time she will find out. This is what she means by the rich..they manipulate your life, and they won't be afraid to discard you once they are done. She is resolute in getting to the bottom of this.
Starting with Luke, that man knew something..she will make sure he talks. Give her a few months; she will craft a unique plan for each and one of them. Now she will start her job at the Knights co. She knew she was safe for a while; a missing employee is not to be taken lightly. Clarissa before had no one knowing her. She is quickly discarded.
"What kind of tragic life you have subjected yourself to, Clarissa."
She looked at the watch on her hand, and it was almost time for her to go to the company to sign the contract; as much as she wanted to visit the clinic, she was no fool to go there alone. Tonight the teams will come, and they will start their plan.
Walking to the bathroom to freshen up, she tightens her hair to a ponytail and wears palazzo pants paired with a fitted top blouse showcasing her blemish-free shoulders. One thing Remis is good with is looking good. She loves looking beautiful and presentable. Baldie had brought her a suitcase full of her clothes from Anders. That way, it saves her tons of money from ever having to buy any dresses. She can't waste even a dime right now since, to start this plan, she requires an enormous amount of cash flow.
She applied a small amount of blush and put on bright red lipstick to compliment her white color shirt and flowy pants.
Putting her game face, she needed this protection as an employee at the company. Her safety relies on it.
She ushered Cocoa butter to come inside from the balcony before shutting the sliding glass door and leaving to start a new journey in her life. The peaceful first day she had from the Henson was worth every miserable few weeks she was there.
If only she had met Clarissa before all of this happened. She will make sure she protects her twin sister. She often wondered which of them was older. But there is no point crying over the past; she will make sure Clarissa's name will be lifted, and she will be respected for the talent and everything she should deserve.
Coming down from the elevator, she saw a child playing around the lobby area with his remote control car. He looked to be around good eight years old and stared at her intently.
"Hi, beauty,"
He winked at Remi, which held her laugh out loud. Since the lobby is empty, her sound of laughter will echo throughout.
"What are you doing here alone?" she asked, crossing her arms.
"Playing..my mom and dad are busy working,"
Her heart felt a slight tinge of sadness. If she ever has a child one day, she will make sure her attentions are hundred percent on the child. Not just leaving them unattended with a nanny.
"Well, go back to your house. Aren't you worried about being kidnapped?"
"Big sister, come be my girlfriend. If you worry about my safety, you can protect me," he smug.
Using her satchel bag, she smacked his head not too much, just enough to knock on some sense.
"I am old enough to be your mom"..she glares at him, not understanding the kids nowadays; maybe she should not have a kid.
"Then come be my mommy."
"....."
Smack again!!
"Ah, this child, u will be my death."
She left the lobby once her taxi arrived at the roundabout entrance of the hall.
As soon as the taxi left the compound, a black Mercedes AMG arrived at the entrance, and the valet immediately got out to receive the key to park it while Roman walked inside, heading to his private elevator. He needed a quick refresh before meeting the guys tonight for Logan's Bachelor's party.
The boy squinted his eyes, eyeing every of his movement, and that's when his nanny came frantically and realized he had left their house unnoticed.
"Brother..."
Roman stopped in his tracks, looking at the boy that looked dissatisfied with him.
"Are you lost?" he wonders..then he sees a frantic woman approaching the boy.
"No. I live here..can you do me a favor?"
At the same time, his nanny knew that is Roman Knight and kept yanking him to leave while bowing apologetically towards Roman with his hands in his pocket.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
"Can you leave the rest of the woman for other people and me?" His request received a blank look from Roman while the once empty lobby was now full of women pretending to walk their pets, talking on the phone. And some wore workout clothes, while the ordinary gym was located on the other side of the building and not the main lobby.
He looked around and understood what the boy meant. His request is reasonable for Roman.
", May the best man wins," He casually said that and earned a glare from the boy. He stomped his feet and retrieved his remote control car to follow his nanny.
'Boastful man! " ....
