121 a mere Pawn

Clara got discharged. She disguised herself with a hat and wig.

On a wheelchair, Ryan took her out of the hospital to the carpark.

As soon as they reached carpark, Clara gestured Ryan to stop. She got up and calmly walked to the car.

Ryan opened the door, and Clara sat inside the car.

Ryan perched on driver seat, and the car dashed out of the hospital grounds.

Just as she occupied her seat, James roared, "How did this happen?"

Turning her head slightly, she looked at James. "Dad, That is what I am puzzled about as well. How did

the drug you gave me turned out to be cocaine?" she questioned.

James sighed. "I am a Pharmacist, Clara. The drug I gave you was a pure aphrodisiac. Nothing more." James explained.

He removed a strip of tablets from the bag. "This was the one I had given you."

"Yes this is exactly the one." she took the strip and nodded."As you told me I mixed the drug with Ak's wine."

"So, someone must have replaced them." James frowned. He rubbed his temple trying to suppress his anger.

"Who?"

"You try to remember. Who knew about these drugs?"

Clara thought about the events which took place in the entire week. Questions invaded her mind. However, she didn't have any clue as who may have replaced it.

She looked at the man on the front seat.'No Ryan didn't know about it as well.'

"No one knew about it." Clara was puzzled as she fiddled the strip.

"Ira! If not for her, I would have long succeeded in luring Ak and Ash to support me." Clara slammed her clenched fist on the seat in anger.

"So you were framed as well," Ryan smirked facing the rearview mirror. He remembered the humiliation and abuse he suffered from his father because he failed their plans.

Now when Clara made a mistake, his Dad didn't even react much.

Clara saw his smile and got irritated: "Mind your own business."

He got back to driving.

"The matter could have aggravated if you haven't handled it well." James took Clara's hand and tried to pacify her.

"Hmph." A huge sigh filled with annoyance came from the front seat.

Ignoring it in a soft voice, James said: " I erased the evidence from the hotel room. The pill bottle only had your fingerprints on it. Good, you didn't go out of the hotel room, or your plan would not have worked. Moreover, your name would be slandered. "

Clara nodded. She had complete faith that whatever situation she faced, her father will come to rescue her.

After a while, James asked: "Did you take the after pill?"

"Yes," She hesitated but still asked: "Will it work?"

"We can't be 100% sure because you had sex with the man for a week. However, we can do nothing about it now." James said in a calm, emotionless voice. It was so detached as if conceiving a child was no big issue.

He didn't feel any ounce of embarrassment every father feels when talking to her daughter about these matters.

"Yes if I conceive I would have to abort." Clara straightened her back and exclaimed. Her words sounded stiff, they lacked emotions.

"Keep checking with pregnancy strips," James advised her.

He never wanted Clara to become pregnant with a child if not for the fact that she could not tempt Ak Jain with her beauty.

Now he would never allow that to happen.

Clara thought she was his most important weapon. What she didn't knew was that she was a mere pawn in Jame's plan of revenge.
