Chapter 270 - Beat up Sharon

They arrived back at the country in their home and first thing first, Clara waited for Leo to leave the house for work and dialed Ella's number.

"I need your help with something, please." Clara said to Ella as her phone got connected. 

"Hope there is no problem, Mrs Raymond." Ella asked.

"Why are you also calling me that? It made me feel like I was christened again." Clara said, because everyone has been calling her that since they returned. Especially the workers in their new home.

Even Leo seems to be enjoying teasing her with it now, because it never ceases to make her blush hard.

"I only called you what you are. So, how may I assist you ma'am?" Ella asked.

Clara sighed.

"I will just have to adjust with the title then. Can you help me with Sharon's home address, please?" Clara asked.

"Give me a few minutes." Ella said and put the phone on hold.

Clara was shocked by Ella's attitude, she has prepared herself for some teasing and all, but she seemed different.

No query and no annoying comment that will make someone feel embarrassed. Looking back at it, she has been like this for a while now.

Even the look in her eyes when she caught her flower on her wedding day.

Is she alright? Clara thought.

She wasn't the type to pry, but she hoped that it wasn't related to Reuben, because it will make Ella get worse if Reuben leaves her.

She might look like everything has been put behind her, but she's fragile and her only strength to keep being the way she is now is the affection from him.

She felt curious to ask if she's okay.

"Done! You should have received it by now. What did she do this time, do you want me to take care of things instead?" Ella proposed, knowing that Sharon was still hellbent on getting Leo.

"Thank you, I will take care of her myself." Clara said before pausing for a while, contemplating whether to ask or not.

"Are you okay? Is everything fine at your end?" She couldn't help it.

"I'm good. I will be getting married in two weeks, that's all." Ella replied.

"What! That's huge news. Why didn't you tell us about it? And why do you sound like this? It's so unlike you. Should I come over?" Clara asked.

Ella was very supportive for her own wedding and if she's having one herself, it's naturally that she helped.

And why say it so casually?

"I'm pregnant." Ella broke the news.

"What! That's epic! Damn! You should be happy, why do you sound like you aren't happy about it?" Clara asked, feeling happy for her, at the same time worried that she's different from before.

"About the wedding, I'm having a simple one. I don't want to make it grand. I don't want to see my parents show up with their sorry ass and ruin my day. And…" Ella trailed off.

'I don't want to be a laughing stock, because my position will attract the media and Reuben will look like a piece of joke beside me. Everyone that I've slept with, will see him treasuring trash.' She said the last part in her mind.

A drop of tears escaped her eyes, but her voice still remained clear.

"Reuben isn't okay with it?" Clara cuts in, with a worried tone.

"Nah, he is ok with whatever decision I made, but hum" she sighed, "I didn't wanna see my parents, and I will be one soon, am scared, what if I fail my child, what if I make a mistake and make them feel like am feeling toward my parents right now, I don't want that, it's not good, I shouldn't have dated Rueben, I should have remained alone" Ella said crying.

Clara couldn't believe she will be giving advice to Ella on this topic, she also went through this feeling, "do you not love Rueben?" Clara asked.

"I do love him, I think he is too good for me, he only dated once in his life, yet he accepted me, despite my promiscuous past, I felt like am using him, It's still nice when we were just dating, but he proposed to me last month and I greedily accepted his proposal, I haven't told him about the pregnancy yet, I don't think I deserve him" she said.

"Ella! He knew about your past before treating you the way he's doing, he is okay with it, stop thinking that you do not deserve him, you are a good woman, and I think you're worthy of his love, you shouldn't keep the news from him, and believe me, I had the same thought about marriage at first, as Leo said, we are not alone in this, those past will motivate us to give our children the best"

"Also, if you need to talk, call me, I will be there for you anytime, we are one" Clara said.

There was a long silence before Ella took a deep breath and sighed, she really likes Clara, she was able to cry freely without getting a sorry.

"You think I should tell him?" Ella asked again.

"Common, you accepted his proposal, why would you not tell him, cheer up, and enjoy your time, we only have one life, let's live it being happy" Clara replied.

"Thank you so much Mrs Raymond, " Ella said.

"Not again" Clara whined.

Ella scoff, "by the way, your wedding vow is unique, I haven't heard anything like that in my whole life." she said.

"Is it?" Clara asked, feeling proud of herself, not getting the fact that Ella was being sarcastic.

Ella smiles at her question, but she isn't in the mood to joke, "It is, can we talk later please?" She said.

"Sure," Clara said and ended the call.

She felt sad for Ella, it must have been hard on her, she couldn't even discuss her problem with her friends, they are both male and busy men, also it will feel weird to discuss the matter with them.

She sighed and stared at Sharon address with a smirk, she couldn't deny that Sharon won this time, even though Leo later came around and act nonchalantly about the video, the atmosphere remain awkward, that pure happiness was ruined by the video, she couldn't take the feelings off her mind, which made her unable to respond to Leo like before the video

Since Leo is someone who wouldn't force his feelings on someone, he didn't force her to act naturally like she used to and flow with her ways, they returned earlier than they should because of it

She would only feel better after beating Sharon, her thought is always with Sharon after she realises how watching the video hurt Leo's feelings.

…..

Clara didn't water time and left immediately.

She entered one of the cars in the villa and followed the address that Ella sent her and within 1 hours 30 minutes driving, she was now in front of the said house that Sharon lives in.

Her eyes turned cold and her hands itched to beat someone.

She had warned this woman to leave Leo alone and it seems she wants to learn the hard way.

It was a simple looking house, but one could tell that whoever owns it was well off, due to the quality of everything that it was built with.

Meanwhile, inside the house.

Sharon was working on her laptop when she heard a knock at her door.

"Come in." She said without raising her head, as she needed to sort out the doc.u.ment she's working on as soon as possible. 

Only her apprentice would visit her house, so she didn't think too much.

"Busy?" Clara asked.

"Hum yeah." Sharon replied, before suddenly halting her typing and looked up to meet with Clara's smiling face.

Her shoulder length hair was tied in a tight bun. She was putting on an all black leather outfit like an a leading role in an assassination movie.

One who mistook her as a celebrity about to shoot some action scenes.

Sharon gulped at the beauty in front of her, because she still finds it ridiculous for someone to look this beautiful.

To her, it's totally insane. 

"You are very brave, I will give you that" Clara said before a loud slap was thrown at Sharon's face.

Sharon gasped and held her face as she watched Clara smile turn to an evil grin.

She suddenly picked up her laptop in a flash and hit Clara with it, before standing up at her.

Clara staggered back a bit and looked up at her, ignoring her bleeding hand.

Her smile deepened. "Oh! Here I was, feeling bad about just beating someone up, but it seems you got some actions to portray as well." Clara said and was already mentally beaten up the bitch.

"Since it's fighting and not beating up, I shouldn't hold back then." Clara said and that's when she attacked.

She threw a kick at her face, making Sharon stagger back and before she could know what hit her, she took quick steps closer to her and followed up with some punches and even held her pathetic neck and headbutt her face, ruining the girl to her taste.
