Chapter 8 - THE DREAM

"Ahhh, James"Mr Johnson laughed.

In Smith Mansion

"What!" Clara was shocked.

"Yes, James is now married" Mrs Smith said.

"Married, how could he be so heartless, I waited for him for year." Clara cried out.

Clara arrived from Paris three days ago, she went there for work with her father.

Mrs Smith wanted to tell her daughter Clara, about James marriage. But, she's afraid her daughter will freak out about hearing the new, but she had no choice than to tell Clara before she hears the new outside.

"Why don't you tell me? Mom."

"Sweetheart I can't tell you. You were there at Paris for work, so, I can't tell you because I knew you will fly back."

"No, I didn't agree to their marriage, they have to divorce, James and I were already engaged." With that Clara rushed out.

Meanwhile, After James left Mr Williams apartment he drove to the company. Earlier, Archie called to inform him about their goods aboard which was on the way to transport here in New York, was attacked.

"How was is going now?." James asked.

"They were able to deal with the attackers. Our goods are still safe." Archie assured James.

James sighed in relief.

Those goods worth billions of dollars.

Knock, knock.

"Come in." James uttered.

"James how have you been?, it been a long time no see."

Clara said as she walked in dressed in armless gown which was so sexy in her.

'Mrs James is already annoyed and angry, now you are here to add to it.' Archie sighed.

"Fine, it is quite long time. And, you how have you been?' James said and signal Archie to stepped out for a while.

James and Clara used to be friends when they were young, but after James went to study abroad they lost contact.

Clara sat on the sofa. "James I heard you were married."

"Yes, are you here to congratulate me? That's so nice of you."

James had never like Clara, she is arrogant, rude and spoiled brat of her parents. He befriends her then, because she always clung to him and Smith and Dalton were friends.

"James, why do you get marry, when you know we are engaged."

"Because I am not interested in the arranged marriage of the two of us, and you should be happy. I free you too you can marry someone you loved and loved you, cherish you.

"I never said I don't want this marriage. James I love you, I had loved you for a very long time. Do you know how it feels to love someone for so long?, I have been waiting for you to come back from broad. So we could marry, but you went over to marry that bitch, gold digger, slut"Clara said with tear rolling down her cheeks.

"Don't call her that she not a gold digger bitch slut and whatever, mind your words." James warned.

"James you are defending her I can see you're in love, I did not agree with the marriage between the two of you have to make a divorce."

"Who are you to tell me what to do and not to do?"

"You can leave now"

James strode to his seat. He makes a call and Archie came in.

"Help Ms Clara outside." he said as he continues his work

Ms Clara please." Archie said politely gesturing towards the door.

Clara was so furious as she left James' office.

When Anna arrived back to the penthouse it's already evening. She went to her room took shower and change into nightgown.

Anna went downstairs to have her dinner after eating. James is not yet back so she marched to the living room and sat on the sofa waiting for James. While waiting for him, Anna slept off.

Later, as James walked in he saw Anna sleeping on the sofa with her legs folded he approached her, patted her 'MMH'he wasn't responding so he carried her like a bride to her room.

On getting to her room, he laid her on her bed and covered her with blanket he looked at her face from her nose down to her beautiful lip resisting the urge to kiss her.

James left her room to the dinning he had his dinner and then went to his room, took his shower and laid on his bed.

Midnight.

'James run, don't worry about mom.' A woman said with tear rolling down her cheeks.

James and his mother were both involved in an accident, but James was able to get out of the car while his mother who was the one driving was stuck with her head bleeding and limbs painfully trapped, she tried to free herself, but her breath was ragged and every slight movement sent waves of excruciating pain through her body.

'No, I will not go without you.' James shook his head.

'Okay, mom will be here waiting for you. Go come for help.'

'Mom you have to wait for me, I will go call for help.'

'Yes I will my son, go before it Will be too late.'

James run calling for help! 'Help, help...'

Run away 30km for his mom the car exploded. " Bum"

"Mom"

James jumps up from his bed. He was panting heavily with sweat all over is body.

'Mom' he muttered looking around the room.

"Huh this dream again." he said coming out from the bed he went to the bathroom he splashed some water his face.

James laid down back to have some sleep, but he was able to sleep. So he went to the balcony.

Next morning, Anna woke up earlier. Because she will be resuming back to work today. Anna took her bath did her daily routine and went downstairs to have her breakfast.

When she got to the dining table. James wasn't there So she asked Maya "Good morning" morning Anna.

"Where is James." Anna asked

"He had already left for work earlier."

"Okay, I will do that now."

"Take care." she turned and left Anna office.
