Chapter 375 - CLARA DIED
Chapter 375 – CLARA DIED
Natsuki left the country when all the crime that his family was involved to got expose to everyone. Although he wasn't involved in anything illegal given that he has no power in their family, he was still embarrassed with all that has happened.
However, as soon as he heard the news that there was a new trial on going involving Alexander's death, he immediately went back home to check on it. And the moment he arrived was also the day that Jonas was freed from his life sentence imprisonment. Jonas looked so happy having a family reunion while he, on the other hand, was all alone now.
Clara was sent in jail and won't be going out of it for the rest of her life. And their son? He's dead several years ago. Alexander might have been mistake born from their lustful and immoral acts but he truly loved him. He loved him so much that he wanted to avenge his death.
He had been following Stefan now but he wasn't like Arthur who would follow them everywhere. He was only paying so much attention on the social media about him and his wife. At first, he wanted to make a move against Kyle and Luiz but the security around them was so tight that he couldn't find a gap to insert himself and put end to their lives.
So now, he widened his range of target. He no longer focused on those two young men but he focused on everyone that Stefan cares about because Stefan was the reason why his son died and he was also the reason why Jonas was freed from jail.
Currently, he was sitting in the visitor's lounge to see Clara for the first time after the scandalous news of their family broke out. The moment Clara stepped out to meet him, he almost couldn't recognize her. The elegant and sophisticated woman in his mind was gone. The one standing in front of him was so thin, her face was gaunt like she hasn't eaten for months, the dark circles around her eyes were so clear and she looked so exhausted.
Clara found her uncle sitting on the lounge waiting for her and as soon as her eyes landed on him, she couldn't stop herself from crying. She didn't say a single word but just cried silently.
Natsuki stood up and pulled her to sit in front of him. "Sshh. It's alright. Everything will be alright. I'm here. I'm still here for you." Natsuki gently pat her shoulder, trying his best to comfort her a little. "How did you become like this? Did someone bully you here? Didn't your husband come and visit you?"
"No. After all that happened, do you think he will come and visit me?" Clara returned the question to her uncle. "Anyway, why are you here?" she wiped her tears and looked at him straight in the eye.
"I'm here to avenge our family. Have you heard that Jonas Slyvester has been freed from jail? Stefan helped him."
Clara looked at her hands before raising her head to look at him again. "Uncle, don't go anywhere near them. Don't do anything harsh. Stefan isn't a simple man anymore. He can fight back and he's got so many friends who would help him. And he's very close with Travis Madrigal. Don't do anything or you will end up here like me. I chose not to drag you before because I know it was my selfish whim that brought me here but Stefan might find something against you. Just leave and go somewhere. Live a new life."
Natsuki looked at his niece in surprise. He never expected that these words would come out directly from her mouth. He blinked his eyes twice in disbelief. "Are you sure? All you have now is me? If I leave, no one will come again to visit you."
"It's fine. I'll be fine." Clara stated. Her visiting time was over so she needed to go back inside her cell. She smiled at her uncle and waved her hands at him. "I'm glad that you visited me."
Natsuki left the place and got inside his car to go back to his apartment. He was now living in his apartment because he didn't want to go back the villa that they owned once. There were still some people who're living there, people who weren't involved in anything unscrupulous, people who didn't have any power before and they're the people who were saved from being sent to jail.
That night, Clara went to the bathroom and cried so hard. Ever since she was sent to jail, she was living in humiliation. The women in her cell played with her body using different kind of things. They tortured her and humiliated her and the cell guard didn't care about it. Thankfully, someone was still sane enough to help her.
Since Clara didn't have anyone who visits her often, she can only ask one of her cellmates for a favor. She asked if her family good bring her some slipping pills next time.
Her cellmates thought that she only asked for it because she wanted to get some sleep. After all, they tortured her almost all the time that they had their breaks.
Right now, she was sitting inside the bathroom cubicle with the sleeping pills in hands and a grape juice that she got from the same cellmate. She poured all the contents of the pill on her palm and drank all of them with the juice.
It was the easiest way to kill herself without anyone knowing it or doubting her actions.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything." These were the only words she could say while her breathing started to go out of control. Her chest has started to become painful and her breathing was erratic.
Two hours later, when she still didn't come back, it was then that the police officer started to look anxious. They looked for her inside the bathroom and found her lying on the floor, pale and lifeless.
Natsuki wouldn't have known that it was the last moment he could see his niece in person. The ever-cheerful woman in his mind was completely gone, out of his life and out of this world.
The next day, to the shock of everyone in Cayenne's house, reporters were flocking right outside their gates. They didn't know who gave their address to them but they were obviously waiting for them to come out.
Today was the day for them to go out and meet with Stefan's family but now, they were surrounded by many reporters.
"What's going on?" Stefan casted a confused look at the reporters. "Don't tell me you're all here to tell my wife that I have a new woman again."
They were all silent with his question but they didn't answer it instead, they all asked him a question. "Mr. Dumrique, what can you say about Clara Minato's suicide?"
"Huh? She committed suicide? Did she die?" Stefan asked them the question instead because he had no idea about such news.
"It was confirmed last night that she died from over sedation. Traces of sleeping pills were found on her body." Another reporter stated to let Stefan know of the news.
"Well. She's not my mother and she never acted like a mother to me. I don't have any opinion on this matter. It was her life, and she knows what she did better than anyone. Her death has nothing to do with me or my family. Now, can you excuse us? My wife and I have to go somewhere and meet important people."
The reporters started to disperse and Stefan went inside his car once again to drive out of the property and meet with his family in Peach Wood. Martin just texted them that they will arrive in half an hour.
"Who do you think sent them our address?" Cayenne asked while looking at the side mirror. The reporters were still there but they were also starting to leave the place since their intention was already fulfilled.
"I'll look into this."
