Chapter Two

"After the meeting at the firm, I had not set my eyes on Clinton again because he had to attend to a business meeting outside the firm .

Today was a very bad day at the firm because I have had to tolerate Melody's insults but never again will that happen .

I will not allow her to thrash me over in any way!"

Liza thought , sipping her apple juice as she stood by her window for fresh air .

"And about Melody ,she was interested in Clinton not because she loved him but because of his money .

She had always kept a false identity of being rich and I'm sure she was running out of money and needed someone to fill in for her .

That girl would go to any extent for money and I just can't stand there for her to snatch Clinton away from me !

It was high time Clinton and I got closer ,I wasn't going to allow any gap between us now !

No matter what happens ,I will defend and fight for my love !"Liza thought as a feeling of disgust towards Melody came in mind .

"Liza my dear, can we talk for a moment?"Corazon asked from behind walking calmly .

"Of course mummy ..!"Liza said with a smile .

"I have noticed that ever since you returned from Acart , you haven't spoken to me clearly and I know that you are still angry over the fight we had before you left but Liza, I want to say I'm sorry .

I don't want to be separated away from you and I don't want you to get angry at me anymore so please forgive me !"Corazon said apologetically .

"I'm not angry at you mummy! Well it's just that ,I'm only sad because when I expected you to understand me , you didn't and that hurt a lot !

It made me feel as if you care about your reputation more than my happiness and that really hurt !

I know I don't normally say this but I love you very much and I'm also sorry for being that complicated daughter that you've had and if possible forgive me ..!"Liza said , hugging her tightly .

She really needed that hug after what happened to her at the office earlier that day and her mum was the only one she could confide in since Jean was not around to bother her with her usual talks.

"By now ,where could she be ?

I'm sure she was busy partying somewhere.

That girl was the party type and she wouldn't miss out that chance of partying !"Liza added to her thoughts while still in her mother's arms like a baby .

"I'm happy to see that you and Clinton are finally back together !

I know that he will make you really happy and I'm waiting for the day when you two will finally get married and give birth to beautiful children!

I know you will have lots of happiness with your family one day !

I'm sure that day will be my happiest day because I will also have the chance to raise my grandson or granddaughter .

Liza, I know you are happy being with Clinton but I just want you to confirm it .

Are you happy being by his side ?"Corazon asked , facepalming her tightly and lovingly.

"Yes Mummy, I'm really happy being by his side and that is why no matter what happens , I will defend my love for Clinton against any other woman !

Mummy, if there is one thing I have learnt , then that is, I will never give up what I love!

Right from high school ,I had admired Clinton but now I love him like crazy and so no matter what happens, I will never give him up!"Liza said forcing a smile to her face .

"You and Clinton can never get separated !"Corazon said with an assuring smile .

"Why do you say that Mummy ?"Liza asked curiously.

"Ah well ! It's because of the bond mark on your neck and even if you don't tell me, I know you and Clinton have gone intimate with each other and that mark clearly tells so !

I won't judge you Liza but be rest assured that as your mother I will support you till the end of the world and against any bad thing that comes your way !

I will be there to support you ,encourage you and I will protect you from any one because you're my daughter ;my only daughter !"Corazon said ,happily .

"Don't worry my dear ,I didn't come this far to head the coven to let any human steal your happiness away !

No one will come between your happiness ,I swear it !"Corazon thought with a smile on her face .

"I know that mummy ! I know you're always with me and that is why I'm proud that I have such a wonderful person like you as my mother and forgive me if I hid the truth from you .

If there is one confession I have to make, that is I don't regret what happened between Clinton and I.

It was the most beautiful moment of my life and I hope that those moments will last till our last breath on earth!"Liza said to her mum .

She was getting really worried about Clinton's whereabouts since he was not answering her calls .

"Where could he probably be by now ?"Liza muttered worriedly after her mum left for her room .

Liza called Hazel and Marcial but they both didn't know about Clinton's whereabouts .

"Was he with Melody?"She thought feeling some pains in her stomach .

She couldn't bear the sight of seeing them together and she was sure that if ever she saw them together again in her life then she'd definitely die out of jealousy and pain.

It's been three hours but she had not heard about Clinton and she was feeling really worried.

Instead of sleeping , she thought about what Melody told her , it was more unless like a challenge and the title was Clinton!

But she wasn't ready to fight over a man because she considered that barbaric and immature .

.. ..

"It's good you came Clinton ! I was really feeling scared and I didn't know what to do!

You were the only person I could think of calling !"She said, in tears hugging him tightly.

"Melody, you are my friend and offering you my help is something I can't deny!

It's good you called me in time so that I will help you out otherwise the fire would have caught up with your whole house and you would have had no where to stay!

The most important thing is that ,you are alive and kicking !

As at now, I think you need to check into a hotel because the room is partially burnt and you can't stay here any longer !"Clinton suggested while Melody clung to him hypocritically like a kid .

"Ha ! Are you mocking me Clinton ? You and I both know that , I don't have that much money to raise a hotel price !"She said , and clung to him again .

"Don't worry ,I'll pay for all the expenses as long as you stay there and I will see what I can do about getting you a new house!"Clinton pulled her arms from him and assured her with a simple smile .

"Thank you Clinton, if it hadn't been for you , I wouldn't have known what I would have done in this fire outbreak !"Melody broke into tears .
