Become the Wife of A CEO

“Why?” Clara cried hysterically, “Why you and Horace don’t want the baby. It’s his baby!”

Hearing Clara’s words, Russell remembered what Horace had told him. It seemed true that Clara had been so traumatized that she had chosen to forget that she had been sexually assaulted.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Clara, please ask no more and do what Horace asks you to do. Get an abortion.” Russell couldn’t find any way to explain to her.

Clara reeled back before she collapsed down on the sofa. She was at a loss without Russell’s support.

Seeing the devastated look on her face, Russell felt his heart aching and sat beside her, trying to comfort her, “Clara, Horace does that for a reason, which he doesn’t feel right to tell you yet, but you’ve got to believe that he’s doing it for your sake.”

“Then could you please tell me why?” Clara said to Russell with sad and imploring eyes.

Clara seemed to feel that things were not as simple as she had thought seeing that both Horace and Russell tried to get her aborting the baby.

If Horace didn’t want the baby because of Laura, then what about Russell? Why wouldn’t he want it either?

Not only did Russell not answer her question, but he also averted her look. Clara was all the more convinced that there must have been something hidden away from her.

“Russell, please, could you please tell me? Now that you both don’t want me to have this baby, I have the right to know why. Otherwise, I won’t let anyone hurt my baby!”

Russell was swayed by her.

Yeah, it would have been too cruel not to tell her the reason, and she would never have given in either.

Eventually, Russell faltered, “Clara, do you remember what happened the day when you were kidnapped?”

“Yes, I do.” Clara nodded, wondering why he mentioned that.

“Do you really remember all of it? Are you sure nothing is left out?”

“Yes, I remember everything of that day.” Had she forgotten anything? Clara was wondering.

“Including that you were sexually assaulted?”

“What do you mean?” Clara asked in shock, “I was assaulted?”

Seeing her reaction, Russell thought, “She seems to have forgot it.”

“Well, that day, you were…” Russell looked at her with embarrassment, struggling to say, “You were raped by the four beggars. You just said that you have been pregnant for a month, so it’s probably that the baby isn’t Horace’s. It could be one of those beggars’ kid…”

After that Russell gave Clara a guilty look. It’s all because of Sean, that bastard, who should have done such a thing. It’s his fault for having raised him that way.

“What are you talking about?” Clara froze for a while, “I wasn’t raped by them at all. How can my baby be theirs?”

“Clara, you probably can’t remember it. Just listen to us. You can’t have this baby. Otherwise, you would regret.”

“How can I not remember it?” Clara felt increasingly confused about his words and her brain was in a mess.

“The doctor said you brain had probably chosen to erase that memory because of your trauma, and that’s why you forgot about the rape.”

What the hell was he talking about? Clara felt as if she were to lose her mind. She closed her eyes and drew a deep breath, trying to straighten out her thoughts.

“Russell, I remember everything about that day very clearly. At first, they were to rape me but then Logan came to rescue me in time, so they didn’t get their way. Then he took me to the hospital and then when I woke up, I saw Horace. That’s the whole thing. I didn’t forget anything.”

“Clara, it’s likely that you keep saying that to yourself because it came as such a devastating shock to you and you don’t want to remember it, so you made up such a memory to deceive yourself.” Obviously, Russell didn’t believe her.

“No, that’s so not true!” Clara was so nervous that she didn’t how to explain to him, “Why wouldn’t you believe me. I didn’t forget anything about that day. I was not rape by them.”

“But the doctor said you were after a physical checkup.” Russell was confused by her words. What had really happened?

“Why would the doctor say that?” asked the baffled Clara, frowning.

Yeah, thought Russell, if Clara had not been raped, it would have been inexplicable for the doctor to lie about it.

At the thought of that, Russell said in all earnestness, “Sweetie, it makes no sense for the doctor to lie to you. You probably have forgotten that part. Would you listen to me and abort the baby?”

“No, I didn’t forget. Would you please believe me? I know it better anyone else.” Clara felt like she was making it more confusing.

No wonder Horace wouldn’t make out with her recently, so just as Russell did, he also thought she had been raped by those beggars?

It must have been it, because Russell couldn’t have known about the details of the kidnapping. Horace must have told him.

But Horace had not been there either, why was he so convinced that she had been raped? And why would the doctor have told him so?

As she cast her mind back, the image of a person popped up in her mind, and suddenly everything was clear to her. Laura!

She remembered Horace telling her that Logan and Laura had both come to rescue her. She was afraid that Horace would not believe her so she had never told Horace that it was Laura who abducted her in the first place.

Now that she thought about it, Laura must have bribed the doctor to lie to Horace, telling him that she had been raped in order to sabotage her relationship with Horace just as what’s happening.

Clara was then filled with hatred against Laura, who had sent people to kidnap her and rape her.

When her scheme failed because of Logan, she was vicious enough to vilify her.

No, she would not let Horace believe things that way! As she thought of that, Clara turned around and ran out of Russell’s study.

She must talk to Horace and explained to him that it was his baby so he would stop being misled about that.
