Chapter 189 – CLARA’S SECRETS ARE EXPOSED

"What was that ring all about?" Kyle asked his sister and Stefan when they came home that night. He didn't believe with the excused that Stefan said about the couple ring. He noticed that their family register was gone yesterday and heard the news about the ring, he already had a faint idea but he didn't say anything.

They were all having dinner together, her family purposely waited for them to come home. Cayenne smiled and took out the necklace and showed them the ring.  "This is the couple ring that Stefan gave me yesterday."

"Wow!" Luiz exclaimed with wide eyes. "This must be very expensive. Look at these glittering diamonds!"

"It's nothing." Stefan commented. "Your sister deserves the best of everything."

"That's true." Luiz agreed.

"Just a regular ring, not an engagement?" Emerald asked. "I'm not against you two but I don't want you to be rushing yourself and get married. I want you to get know each other more."

"Yes, auntie. I understand. By the way, I will bring Ayen home this weekend. My father and grandfather wanted to see her."

"Hn. You have my permission."

Although Cayenne felt guilty for lying, she just couldn't bring herself to tell them about the news. There's just something that bothers her and she was a bit worried. 'Is it because I'm keeping a secret from him?' she thought to herself while giving her husband a side glance.

Their dinner was just the usual and after eating their food, Luiz helped wash the dishes while Stefan and Kyle cleaned the table. Only Emerald went inside her room to rest the night away. She can only spend little time with her children but it's better compared to seeing them once a week, and sometimes, it went on for once a month.

"So, did your parents come to find you for help?" Cayenne asked him as they cuddled on her bed.

"How did you know? Did Chris tell you?"

"Not really. There are two things that they'd look for you. Either they wanted to bully you or they wanted something from you. With what's happening to the Minato Group, it's expected that they'd come to find you for help." She whispered her response. Her groggy voice showed that she was already getting sleepy and she yawned several times already.

Stefan kissed the top of her head and hugged her. "Wait for a good show later. I'll show you something."

"Okay." She kissed the underside of his jaw and closed her eyes to sleep. "Celine knew about us but she will keep it a secret." She added in whisper.

"Hn."

In the Dumrique family mansion, Clara was walking back and forth the living room. She received a call from Dr. Albert, the man whom she thought has left the country already. She didn't expect him to call her for a meet up. She wanted to refuse but the man held so many secrets and she was worried that he'll tell everything to the police if she denies him.

"What's wrong with you?" Magnus asked worriedly. He still acted as if he cares for her but deep inside, he couldn't wait any longer to push her down the cliff of hell. He wanted her gone in his life. "Don't worry this much. I'm sure Stefan will do everything he can to help you." 'Help you destroy your family.' Magnus added mentally while hugging his wife in a warm embrace.

Clara chose the place where she wanted to meet with the doctor. She didn't want to be led by the nose with someone so insignificant as him.

After receiving the information, he sent it to Chris and Lucian. He was asked to cooperate with them and in exchange with his freedom. He can still be considered accomplice but because of his help, things were a lot easier. Lucian promised to shorten his prison time and Stefan agreed with it.

In Ganzani Bay, a Spanish restaurant owned by the de Silva family, Dr. Albert was waiting in a private booth for quite a while now. The was a large flower vase in one of the corners of the room and hidden under the leaves was a small camera. There were small hearing devices placed under the table and at the back of the couch where she was supposed to sit.

The owner of the restaurant was notified ahead of time and they were willing to help the investigation. One policeman will act as a waiter to personally serve them, four will play the guest's role and used the other booths on both side of the room they were using. It was to monitor her and record everything.

"Sorry, I'm late. I had to deal with some other things." Clara stated when she got inside the booth they're using.

"It's fine." Dr. Albert waved his hand and called in the waiter. "We'd like to start ordering our food. I want –"

"I won't be taking long so, I'll just have water." Clara told the waiter after the short interruption.

"Suit yourself." Dr. Albert replied before giving the names of the dishes that he wanted to try. The moment that the waiter stepped out, Dr. Albert clasped his hands together and placed them on the table. "Are you not happy to see me?"

"I don't particularly hate it and I don't particularly like it. Whichever you think it is." Clara responded without any changes on her facial expression. "When did you come?"

"I came back after hearing what happened to your family. I want to help."

"Help?!" Clara looked at him and her frown deepened as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "How can you help? It would be best if you stay away and don't add more trouble to my family."

"Huh?" Dr. Albert snorted. "You think of me as trouble now. Why didn't you think of this back then? Why did you come to me for help whenever you're facing trouble? You were just toying me, weren't you? After you're done toying with your uncle, you went to me for help. What a slut."

"Shut up!" Clara snapped at him. "Don't forget that you worked for us. You are supposed to help us no matter what happens. And don't even think of using your knowledge to tattle-tale me to the police, have you forgotten, you are an accomplice."

"I didn't kill Latticia. It was you who killed her. I even told you to bring her to the hospital so we can save her but you didn't."

"Whatever. She's gone for good. No one will avenge her death so just keep quiet."

"Oh? I heard that you asked Stefan to help your family. What would he do if he learns the truth of his mother's death? Do you think he will still help you? Or would he push your family to hell?"

Clara's face darkened and you could literally see the killing intent on her face. She looked like she wanted to tear his face and skin him alive. She looked horrible and really scary. She's like those mad women inside the asylum. "What do you want?" she asked him.

"I just want to help. How about you divorce your husband and I will tell my uncle who's a judge to become lenient to you?"

"Divorce my husband and then what? Become your woman?"

"Why not? Isn't that what you like?" Dr. Albert really knows where to hit her sore spot. "You slept with your uncle to get the latest Ferrari car that your parents won't give to you. You slept with your professor when he failed you because you never showed up in his class. You slept with your bestfriend's boyfriend because you're jealous he likes her more than you. So, what difference it will make if you slept with me?"

'PAK!'

A loud slap hit his face and Clara was fuming with anger. She was trembling in front of him with her gritted teeth. "How dare you?!"

"Why don't I dare? I'm no longer working for your family. Didn't your father fire me and sent me somewhere to keep your dirty little secrets? The prestigious young miss of the Minato family that everyone adores so much is actually a slut. And the son she gave birth to was the son conceived after sleeping with her uncle. Poor Magnus, he had no idea that his life was ruined by the woman he's protecting. How would he react if he finds out that you killed the person he loves the most?"

"So, what if I kill her? What if I slept with my uncle? Or with my professor? Or with my bestfriend's boyfriend? So, what?" Clara let out a mocking laughter. "I can do it because I have powerful backer. If they are wealthy, they can do it, too? I don't mind." She didn't have any remorse at all. She didn't feel guilty with all the horrible things she committed. She appeared nonchalant about it.

Dr. Albert sighed. "Have you ever loved your son?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Of course, I love him." Clara answered almost instantly. Even though he was a product of some lustful mistake, she still loved her son so much. It was made of her flesh and blood after all.

Dr.  Albert stood up from his seat. "I feel so bad for Alexander to have a mother like you." He commented and sighed. "It's unfortunate that someone had to pay a price for the suicide he committed."

"Suicide? My son didn't commit suicide! He was killed!"

Fifteen years ago, a burglar came into Stefan's house on his birthday. It was the first time that you have celebrated his birthday after Alexander insisted on it. That night, he already planned to kill himself and the burglar just became his alibi. The man didn't intend to pull the trigger but Alexander did. He shot himself using the gun that was pointed towards him."

"No. No, that can't be. You're lying!" Clara's tears fell on her face. Why would his son kill himself? Didn't he receive enough attention? Didn't she love him enough?

"You might be asking why Alexander did that." Dr. Albert continued, ignoring her loud crying and messy face. "He couldn't forgive his existence. His existence brought unhappiness to his little brother. He knew that you killed Latticia and he paid it with his life. Such a good and kind young man, his life was wasted because of his cruel mother." He stepped grabbed his coat from the couch and put it on. "I lost my appetite."
