Enchanted Love

“That must be a misunderstanding.” Charlotte is not at all convinced about Lincoln’s story.

“She ran away with her luggage. I saw her with Jason. Even their friends are helping them” Lincoln built a super story so that nothing goes against him. He knew that Nathan was very particular about his respect. He won’t spare even if it’s his own daughter. In this way, he can be saved. No one would believe their story if they told them. As for Charlotte, she can blabber whatever she wants but she has no voice in this house.

“Relax dear. They are coming here only. We shall ask them also. We can’t just decide on your story.” Frank tried to not show his anger.

“Did I talk to you? You are just a guest. So behave like that.” Lincoln gets too annoyed with Frank because of Alex who messed with him back then.

“Did I talk too politely for you to misunderstand my intention?” Frank smirked as he drove his chair to his side slowly.

“The age you are in is just half of my experience. You better watch your words” Frank is known for his temper when you try to disrespect him. Lincoln misjudged him to be a scared rabbit. Nathan didn’t interfere with them. He stood there as if he was paralysed by Lincoln’s accusations. He looked worried as if he would faint anytime.

“And about these false accusations, do you think they will work when they come back?” Frank asked as Lincoln widened his eyes. Did he know everything? What will happen now? What if they blame him and these people call the police to arrest him?

“Uncle, I know that you are worried. I don’t want to stress you with these all. If she comes back, I will surely marry her.” Lincoln started his another drama of a very cool super son-in-law with a tiny hope that Nathan stays by his side so that the table changes for him

“Don’t break the game. A word about Alex in your life.” Edward doesn’t want to leave the opportunity.

Should she reply to them? Why the hell are they looking at her? Clara closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She knew that this game was specifically played for her.

“He was my happiness. But not anymore” She replied and turned away harshly. Every problem can get solved and everything can come to normal. But she can never forgive him nor get back to him.

She badly wanted to throw everything away and live happily with him. But whenever she looks at him, that pain will haunt her and that’s Clara. She can’t forget anything if it has hurt her. She can’t just easily let anything go even though she wanted to.

“Even now I am your happiness. You can’t deny the fact” Alex spoke in a dominant filled voice. The glare he gave was so superior that she didn’t dare to reply to him. She could have said something else but this. It did hurt him.

She realised that in the peak of anger, her words became very mean and rude and it started affecting him mentally. Should she stop here?

“Not everyone is lucky to have only positive comments about them,” Alex replied as he sat comfortably in his seat not bothering to disturb Clara anymore. She felt his legs detached from her side to give her freedom. Isn’t that what she wanted.? But why doesn’t she get happy? A part of her wanted to console him.

“Now next. I am beautiful, fierce, honest, an angel in everyone’s life” Edward spoke changing the atmosphere and Alina blushed furiously hearing his words. Edward doesn’t give compliments often but even his one word has many effects that she felt like the princess of the world.

“Fun-loving and charming” Jason added as Edward glared at him to shut his mouth.

“I lost my baby sister even before she came into this world. But if she was here, she would be exactly like you and I would have married her to Edward only.” Alex commented with a smile as Alina couldn’t express her feelings right now. Her relationship with Alex grew like magic and she felt so happy that it was not one-sided. Of course, Clara felt fire erupting from her eyes. She is just jealous. But she doesn’t know whom she is jealous of.

“I would have made them divorced and have married Edward then also” Alina replied as all gaped at her words while Edward hides his blush. He can tease, mock and taunt. But Alina’s flirts are something he can never handle. This girl is crazy and he prays to not show his blushing cheeks every time to his friends.

“My mom, sister, friend, soul mate, my lover, a partner in crime. Everything” Clara commented now taking this opportunity to apologise to her.

“You only can understand me better than myself. I didn’t do anything planned. It just went with the flow and I couldn’t handle the situation.” Clara grabbed her hand as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Ani, I can even live without anything in this world. But without talking to you, I don’t know if I can handle this pain.” Clara is very sensitive when it comes to Alina.

“I am sorry” Clara never apologises even if it’s her fault. But she is always careful with every situation that she doesn’t do anything for which she needs to apologise later.

“Do you think that I am happy without talking to you?” Alina asked in heavy anger.

“I am not angry that you hid such things. But because I was not there when you were alone. Can you even imagine what it makes me feel like?” She asked as Clara nodded in acknowledgement. Alina’s eyes tears up and the scene made the audience well up.

“I am sorry” Clara mumbled again and Alina grabbed her for a hug.

“Guess the game is not for fun but confessions and truths,” Edward commented in boredom. He can’t waste this trip just with these crying sessions.

“By the way, does everyone know at home that we were kidnapped by Lincoln?” Edward asked Mira

“Did Lincoln kidnap you all?” Mira gasped and just like that, they discovered that Frank didn’t blurt out anything. In a way, it is good too.

“So we have a big drama ahead?” Jason voiced out as if he is ready for a blockbuster movie not realising that the main victim will be himself.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

They all got down for a walk as their legs are paralysed with continuous sitting.

“Ten minutes we can just stretch here and have to resume our travel,” Edward said as he didn’t want to delay more. The way is not safe and they can’t even stay in between.

Alex walked to the left side alone.

“What is this?” Clara asked as she felt a paper in a dress. It was stuck in her shawl.

“Come backside or else be ready to get a kiss in front of all” Clara widened her eyes reading the paper. What is this new drama now? She looked at the way Alex was just gone. How dare he?

She knew that if she didn’t go, he wouldn’t think twice to do anything. But she doesn’t want to give in this time. She started biting her nails as she was continuously staring at Alex who was leisurely stretching his shoulders and back. His back is still aching and it’s visible with his actions alone.

Alex turned and glared at Clara when he felt her gaze for some time. She turned away instantly, adjusting her hair. His flirts and now this. She can’t handle this anymore. She looked up and widened her eyes when she felt him coming her way still stretching his back.

“Dare you kiss me” she shouted as all gaped at her words. Does she want him to kiss her?

“Are we playing truth or dare?” Jason can’t keep his mouth shut. Edward glared at him as if Jason snatched his right to tease them.

“To kiss you, I don’t need daring. I just need your one look. And are you sure you want it in front of all?” Alex asked with a smirk as she widened her eyes reading that her words had gone in the wrong direction.

“Don’t play such tricks again with me.” Clara threw the paper to his side and got inside the jeep without looking at anyone. Edward widened his eyes seeing the paper. How did she get this? That was Alina’s chit for him.

“Oops, she misunderstood. I wrote this” Alina laughed. Clara heard those and cursed herself. Edward wants to hide his face for sure.

“I don’t like misunderstandings. How about changing them to reality?” Alex’s words made everyone giggle as Clara threw the same scissors which Alina had before towards him.

“Guess, she needs it in private. I respect her decision” Alex got inside the jeep as she shifted her eyes to the window. He sat over the corner seat and Clara changed her position to Alina’s side. Now Alina is sitting on the opposite side of Alex.

“Are you okay?” Alina asked all of a sudden and that’s when everyone turned to see Alex shivering with sweat. Jason pulled off the jeep suddenly.

“He is burning” Edward gasped loudly. Alex neither replied nor gave any movement.

“He is unconscious” Clara commented as she came out of the jeep and ran to his side of the window to check him.
