EXPOSED

~{ARLEEN'S POV}~

***

~four days later~

I blinked in disbelief as I read the trending news for the day.

What was going on?

"Oh my goodness!" I gasped in disbelief as I read the article. It was devastating!

Tears filled my eyes as I hurried out of my room and went in search of Clifford.

How could he?

Why?

It couldn't be true right?

My heartbeat increased at every step I took because I had to confirm it from Clifford. It felt like a nightmare I wanted to wake up from.

"He's not in at the moment, Miss," the bodyguard assigned to watch over me said.

"Where is he?" I asked while breathing heavily. I needed to confront him face to face.

"Currently at work..."

Without waiting for him to say more, I got ready to leave but he held me back and I gave him a deadly glare.

"Let go of me."
