They Were Meant To Be Together | Book 4

656.Old friend

When Clara retrieved her hand back, Ben mockingly smirked and left.

Covering her mouth, Clara started sobbing harder. She never wanted them to end this way. She always wanted to spend the rest of life with the man she loves, but fate and destiny had different plans for her.

Clara Lafit was the adopted daughter of the Lafit family. Clara was adopted when she was eight when Munray and Helena Lafit couldn't conceive one. The Lafit family treated her really very well until Helena Lafit gave birth to a son.

Though they started treating her unfairly, Munray and Helena still gave Clara the best education and for that Clara had always been grateful to them.

She met and started Ben when they were in college. Things were going smoothly until the Lafit family fixed her marriage with Philip Norway. She protested at first but after when her adopted mother tried to commit suicide and when her adopted father pressured her to return back the favour and told her how she was indebited to the Lafit family, Clara reluctantly agreed.

She knew she was a coward for not fighting for her love but she had no other choice. The pressure from the Lafit family was too much for her to handle.

After rinsing her face with cold water, Clara calmed herself down before walking out of the washroom.

....

Inside the room.

Looking around, Clara frowned when she did not see Ben.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Philip asked.

Clara was about to say something when he added, "Alright, come on in the food just arrived."

"Hey Clara did you see Ben?" Flora asked.

When Clara shook her head, Flora fronwed, "Well, that is strange. Where did he go?"

"Maybe he had something important to do." Sam said.

.....

Jeon mansion.

Next day.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Big bro open the door." Wonwoo shouted.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Big bro." Wonwoo yelled.

Jeonsan fronwed and quickly opened the door. "What the hell Wonwoo, it's Saturday for God's sake."

Showing Jeonsan his phone, Wonwoo asked, "Now what? What do we do?"

Jeonsan frowned when he read the article that Wonwoo showed him.

"Where is Yuqi?" Jeonsan asked.

"She left early in the morning for her shoot." Wonwoo said.

"Damn, go get the car ready. I'll be there in five."

Wonwoo nodded his head and rushed downstairs.

Just then Jeonsan's phone buzzed.

"Dude, did you see that news? Damn how? Did you know about it?" Jihun asked.

"I don't know Jihun, I am looking for Yuqi first. I have to tell her this first. She is going to kill me if I don't tell her everything now. I'll talk to you later okay?" After hanging up the call, Jeonsan grabbed a towel and rushed towards the washroom.

....

Yuqi's shooting venue.

"Ahh goddess Yuqi is really looking like a princess." Yoshi said before placing his hand on her shoulder.

Fixing her hair, Yuqi smiled. "Not gonna work Yoshi, I am not going to even think about it."

Yoshi sighed and puffed his cheeks. "Oh c'mon babe, it's just a date. And do you even know how lucky you are? I am actually begging you to be my date. It's usually girls who do that to me."

"I don't wanna be lucky and besides-"

"Madam there is someone waiting for you outside." The crew member said.

Yuqi fronwed and asked, "Who is it?"

"He says he is an old friend of yours."

"Old friend? Are you sure he is looking for me?" Yuqi asked.

The staff member nodded her head. "Yes madam."

"Old friend huh? Who is it? Your boyfriend?" Yoshi asked.

Clutching his chest, he added, "Ahhh I will be heartbroken if he is your boyfriend."

"You talk too much Yoshi, stop bugging me." Yuqi smacked his arm before walking away.

"Hey, at least tell me that you'll think about it." Yoshi shouted before rushing after her.
