99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 55

In a white room, Nathan suddenly woke up when he heard someone calling him. He sat up too, saw Clara who was standing near the bed, looking at him with a smile so sweet.

“Clara?”

Nathan looked confused, then turned to look at the person sleeping beside him, it was Casey. ..He looked back at Clara, who was so beautiful wearing a white knee-length dress and pinned some of her hair back, smiled at him and nodded, then walked out of the room.

“Clara, it’s not like what you think…I don’t know why she’s beside me!” Nathan said as he got up from the bed and then immediately followed her while shouting for her.

“Clara … Clara … I only love you. I didn’t mean to cheat!”

Nathan tried to chase Clara but there was something that prevented him from reaching his wife until she suddenly disappeared from his sight.

“Clara… Clara, don’t go, don’t leave me!”

Clara awoke to hear Nathan scream with his eyes closed, and held out his hand as if to reach for something. She immediately got up and woke her husband by gently patting his cheek.

“Clara… Clara, don’t go!”

“Nathan, Nathan… Babe, I’m here,” Clara said worriedly until finally Nathan woke up with a gasp and his eyes widened slightly.

“What happened, what dream is bothering you?” Clara asked, rubbing Nathan’s slightly sweaty forehead.

“This is so weird, so real,” Nathan replied then sat up and leaned his body against the headboard. He looked at Clara seriously, even feeling her smooth face while remembering the dream that had just come to his sleep. “I saw you left me when you saw me sleeping with Casey. You just kept on smiling, then just left. I don’t know why this is… Why is Casey suddenly in my dreams, even sleeping with me ?”

“It’s just a dream, don’t think too much about it because I will never leave you,” Clara said then pulled Nathan in her arms. ‘It’s a dreamlike a premonition to you because the truth is that it is. what is with you right now is Casey’s soul, and Clara is gone forever,’ she thought sadly.

Nathan was silent with a blank stare, in Clara’s arms. He kept remembering the dream that felt like it was real until he occasionally glanced at Clara who was rubbing his back.

“In that dream, I woke up with a room atmosphere like this, even these clothes. Everything felt real, then I saw you in front of me, while the one sleeping with me was Casey. This is weird, I never even thought about being together with Casey…”

.”Never mind, forget it. It’s just a flower bed,” Clara exclaimed, then invited Nathan to lie back down and hugged him until her husband kissed her chest area. “Maybe you dreamed that because you’re still haunted by fear because of the poison case, plus you’ve also been dizzy thinking about Casey’s crashed case. Or maybe you have a little crush on her?”

“Of course not,” Nathan said with a frown.

‘But I’m Casey, who serves you wholeheartedly is Casey,’ Clara thought with a faint smile.

“Now I’m more afraid of losing you, don’t ever go,” Nathan said hugging him tightly.

“Don’t be afraid, because I will never leave, there is no reason to leave my love,” said Clara trying to be sweet.

Nathan sighed, then fell comfortably in Clara’s arms. Sometimes he glanced at his wife, surprised that in the dream his wife had been replaced by Casey.

“Honey, I remember something,” Clara said breaking the silence.

“What?”

“This afternoon, Frederica was mad at me for wanting to go to the city park. So I promised her to invite her to play with you,” said Clara then looked down and touched Nathan’s cheek which was not so smooth.

“Why did you make a promise to her?” asked Nathan curtly.

“Because I feel sorry for her. She just…”

“She’s just a little girl, who is innocent and doesn’t know anything about problems,” Nathan said before Clara finished speaking, then turned his back to her. “I don’t like spending time with her, because that would make Patricia take advantage of the situation.”

“But she just wants to be loved… She wants to get your attention.”

“I know that, I’ll pay attention to it if I’m in the mood.”

Clara sighed, then tilted her body and wrapped her arms around Nathan from behind. “If I may know, how do you feel for her?”

“There are no feelings whatsoever, there is only disgust. Because of her, my life has become a mess and has always been the subject of bullying…I always hear the people closest to me always say ‘She is your daughter, you must love her and don’t let her lack love from you because you are her father.’ statements like that piss me off,” Nathan said wearily.

“Don’t you feel any bond at all?” asked Clara.

“Never,” Nathan said angrily. “Even I wonder. Why does that happen when the DNA test results always state that she is my daughter … But, I still feel she is not my daughter,” he continued.

“Could the DNA test be wrong?” asked Clara.

“I don’t know. I’ve done a DNA test publicly in front of the whole family, and it came out positive she’s my daughter..then I was dissatisfied with the test results and asked my trusted person to do a DNA test in secret … And the result was still positive that she was my daughter,” Nathan explained with a frown, annoyed at his fate.

Clara fell silent again, starting to think about what had happened. ‘Felix did the DNA test, and if Nathan still doesn’t think he’s Frederica’s real father, has no ties at all, maybe Felix knows who Frederica’s real father is but is hiding all this from Nathan.’ Clara says in the heart.

“I can’t help but have to accept Frederica as my daughter, even though I don’t want to because it makes Patricia feel like a part of my life….and I’m even more imprisoned because she has a picture of me with her on the bed, looks like I’ve raped her. I increasingly have no other choice but to let her live in my family’s mansion instead of me having to marry her.” Nathan started talking then looked back at Clara intensely and touched her cheek. “I did everything she wanted so that I didn’t have to marry her, no matter how much money I gave her, even her mother took advantage of the situation, moreover she was the wife of one of the men who was still a relative of my family, and he was the one who died when there was a riot in my family. I don’t want to be imprisoned by them, because all I want is you… Only you.”

Clara was silent, looking at Nathan who was so close to her. ‘So Nathan couldn’t do anything because there was an indecent photo with Patricia, and Patricia was still part of Nathan’s family….no wonder Aunt Liora and Patricia are so brave to Nathan’s family,’ she said to herself.

“Frederica is just an innocent kid because she doesn’t know anything because she really can’t choose who she will be born from, I don’t hate her, but sometimes situations make me sick of her,” Nathan said languidly.

“I know this must always make you uncomfortable and even stressful… But here I am with you. I don’t mind about Frederica, you know that right? And tomorrow, I want us to take her out to have some fun while she’s still here.” Clara said with a smile, feeling Nathan’s jaw and looking into his sad eyes.

“But …”

“Shh …” Clara put her index finger on Nathan’s lips. “No refusal…Let’s just say this is what makes you a good father because you will also have kids from me.”

“Yes … Then I will,” Nathan said with a faint smile.

Clara sighed, then kissed Nathan’s lips and forehead then hugged him again and brushed his hair, trying to make him comfortable so he could go back to sleep. Her heart hurt because the man wanted children so badly, while she couldn’t be pregnant, even if she was pregnant might not survive because the body would die at the time Arion had determined.
