99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 15

San Francisco 01.15 pm.

Nathan stopped his car in the courtyard of the luxurious mansion which was dominated by yellowish-white paint, had a small garden, a garage, a security post, and a swimming pool on the side. He immediately got down, then opened the door for Clara, let her out then closed the door again.

Clara breathed a sigh of relief as she stared at the luxurious mansion. She imagined the real Clara had lived in the mansion since childhood and was now back with a body that contained someone else’s soul.

“Come on in,” Nathan said, wrapping his arm around Clara’s waist from the side.

Clara nodded and immediately walked towards the main door of the mansion. She looked around what seemed deserted until she finally arrived at the door. The woman was about to ring the bell but her husband did it first.

Check…

“Mrs, Clara,” said a woman around 30 years old who looked like a maid.

“Are mom and dad at home?” asked Clara.

“Yeah … Sir and madam are at home. They just finished lunch and are now in the living room,” the woman answered immediately inviting Clara and Nathan to enter and they went straight into the living room to be greeted by Verena and Darrell who were sitting on the white couch.

Verena hugged Clara tightly, even kissed her cheek. Meanwhile, Nathan sat down on the couch next to Darrell. The maid immediately went to the kitchen to make drinks and dishes.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming here? If you said earlier maybe mommy will cook your favorite food?” Verena said while inviting Clara to sit on the other couch side by side with her.

“Eh…I also didn’t think about coming here but I remember that there are some of my favorite things that are still left here,” explained Clara with a warm smile at Verena. “I also really miss you, mom. that’s why I immediately asked Nathan to take me here without telling Mommy first,” she continued.

“Didn’t you say Nathan was on important business?” asked Verena who looked elegant in a brown Mocca knee-length skirt combined with a dark blue top and part of her hair back.

“It just so happens that my business is finished,” Nathan said.

“Is the poisoning case solved?” asked Darrell who was seen wearing a formal dress in the form of a black suit and combing his hair neatly.

“It’s being worked on, Dad,” Nathan replied.

“You should be able to immediately catch the mastermind of the poison case because this concerns Clara’s safety,” Darrel exclaimed with his flat gaze.

Clara looked at Darrell who still didn’t seem to believe Nathan. “Dad… Don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine. Especially now that we’ve moved to a new mansion that’s more comfortable and there’s a lot of security there.”

“Why are you sure that the maids there can be trusted?” Darrell asked, his gaze so serious on Nathan.

“I’m sure, Dad. Even I installed CCTV in the whole room, everything is under control safely … You don’t worry,” Nathan answered politely.

Verena glanced at Darrel who was too intimidating Nathan then turned to look at Clara. “You said you wanted to get your stuff. I’d better take you to your room now,” she said.

“Eh … I’d better go to the room alone, Mom,” said Clara.

“Well then Mommy will go to the kitchen and cook your favorite food,” said Varena. she immediately left the living room towards the kitchen by crossing the dining room while Clara headed upstairs where her room was.

Arriving at the top floor, Clara looked at several room doors which might be the bedroom doors lined up on the right or left side. There were about four doors there, making her feel confused about where she should enter the room that belonged to Clara.

‘Ugh, why isn’t there a name on the door. I’m confused which is Clara’s room,’ she thought restlessly.

Because she didn’t want to think too long, Clara chose to enter the room at random and it happened to be unlocked.

Check…

“Oops…!” Clara closed the door again when she saw an only shirtless man. ‘Ugh, who is he. Could he be Clara’s brother?’

Check…

The door opened again. A man with a muscular body with a thin beard and wearing a white shirt and black basic pants looked at Clara with a smile.

“Hey, it turns out you still come back here,” he smirked.

“I just want to take my important things in the room,” said Clara trying to remain calm even though she was confused to death about who the man was, she didn’t even know his name.

“And why did you come into my room? Did you miss your handsome brother?”

‘Oh….turns out he’s her brother,’ Clara thought with relief.

“I think the poisoning made you a little dazed,” said the man then hugged Clara from the side. “Come on, let me take you to your room. Instead of getting lost again,” he continued casually.

Clara gave in to the man’s invitation until she finally arrived at the far end of the room with a white door, like the other rooms. The man immediately opened the door and ushered her in.

“Are you going to work?” Clara asked as she let go of his arm. she still doesn’t know what to call him because she doesn’t know what his name is. ‘I have to find out about the names of people Clara’s close to,’ she thought.

The man glanced at his watch on his left wrist. “Yes, I have to go back to the office now because I have a meeting scheduled at two,” he answered.

“Then hurry up before it’s too late,” Clara cried.

“I still want to be with you because I still miss you,” said the man with a sad look. .”I’m sorry about what happened to you a few days ago, and I wasn’t there at the time…”

“It’s okay. I know you have your reasons, no need to feel guilty because now I’m fine,” Clara exclaimed.

“Okay then I have to go to the office now,” said the man then kissed Clara’s cheek for a moment, then rubbed her head with excitement while smiling at her. “Next time we will have a chance to chat. You should always take care of your health and….don’t accept food from people you don’t know or even people who don’t seem to like you.”

“Of course.”

“I’m leaving now,” said the man then immediately left the room.

Clara heaved a sigh of relief and then turned to stare at the Queen size bed which was covered with plain white sheets. after glancing at the bed, then turning to glance at the wall where there is a large photo on display showing a photo of Clara when she was still alive with Verena and Darrell and also the man earlier. The woman turned to glance around the room until she found the door leading to the balcony and the door leading to the walk-in closet.”Maybe I can find Clara’s diary right now before Nathan comes here,” she said then started her action.

At first, Clara searched the drawer on the nightstand near the bed, but she couldn’t find a book like the Diary. The woman then turned to walk into the walk-in closet room, which had a yellowish-white nuance, looking so glamorous and filled with luxury items such as bags, high heels, clothes, accessories… All neatly arranged in a transparent glass cupboard.

Clara began to open every cupboard to the drawer, and finally, she found a maroon book with a very thick and stiff cover with the name “Clara”. She took a book which was probably the Diary, then sat down on a white chair near the cupboard.

‘I wish there was some information in here,’ Clara thought, starting to open the book. Ah, it just so happens that there is no specific key or code.

__Hi. I’m Clara … I’m not good at writing nice words but I want to write about interesting things in my life here. for someone who might have the opportunity to read this book… Please don’t laugh. Lol! ..I write to my heart’s content, I will share any silly, sad, or happy experiences here, and I hope that no one will read this book except me and the people I consider the best friends in my life…let’s carve a memorable story on the next page because every moment we pass will become a memory… Even one second ago is also a memory. Time is the most precious thing, so never waste the time that God has given us. Ahh ….ah, I’m too many pleasantries.. lol! But It’s okay .. no one will know that I like small talk because I don’t like silence__

Having just read the first page, Clara’s tears just fell because she remembered the time she met Clara on the plane and instantly became friends. she remembers very well that girl is a girl who is friendly, humble, and cheerful. Too bad her life was taken on her happy day…
