Chapter Eighteen: I will kill you today

Friday, March 13, 20XX

The next two days went by quickly and Friday came along. Yaci came inside Clair's office with a file in her hand and an annoyed look.

She placed the file on Clair's desk and sighed. "Nothing absolutely nothing. Can you believe it? Just what kind of fiance did you get? I started doubting my skills already!" She complained and Clair laughed.

"See this file? It's empty. Not even a dammed picture." She continued in frustration. Clair sighed. "Take a rest I'll figure it out tonight I guess," Clair told her and Yaci nodded. "Have fun with Lukas!" Clair stifled a laugh and Yaci rolled her eyes. "I'm not going anywhere with him." She replied.

"I'm telling you this because you have been working non-stop and haven't taken princess sparkles out. Go ahead and relax. I will tell my brother to stop pestering you if you're uncomfortable." Clair smiled at her and Yaci thanked her before leaving the office. By, 'princess sparkles.' Clair was referring to Yaci's daughter of course.

Clair opened the file knowing that it wouldn't be empty. She read the contract inside and smiled in satisfaction. "Unless you are my type I won't be marrying anyone." She mumbled and at that perfect timing, her father called.

Clair sighed and answered the call. "Are you on your way princess?" Her father asked and she rolled her eyes. "It's still early. I'll leave the office in an hour." She assured him. "Not possible. You need to go home and doll up. I need you here at exactly 8 pm" Clair reluctantly agreed and hung up.

She sighed and made her way outside the building. She drove back home taking her sweet long time. She knew that she would be early anyway so she just enjoyed the ride home. She was not at all believing her father's words.

Her type? Nope. Those are REALLY difficult to find. The difficulty is of surviving her. If the person could successfully live under her intimidation then she would let it be but she really doubted a man would have the guts to even face her. She isn't a man hater but she isn't a fan of them either. So, it would be understatement to say that this 'fiancé' of hers should be prepared for what's to come.

She shook her thoughts away and continued driving. When she arrived she walked inside her room and took a 20-minute nap not caring about arriving at all. Afterward, she felt all sweaty from her nap and a bit sleepy so she took a cold shower.

She decided to wash her hair with some shampoo and that was the biggest mistake she ever made. She realized that she no longer had of her special product. She let out a quiet curse.

"I'm an idiot a big idiot." She started panicking. "It's fine. My father will make sure they don't disclose anything." She calmed her self down and dried her hair with a towel. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She brushed her silver hair with her fingers and she smiled.

"Mmmm I kind of miss the old days." She mumbled. She missed the excitement of running away from the cops, especially from this one person.

She enjoyed knowing everyone wanted her head. It made her feel confident in her skills.

Sigh...

She wore a bright yellow plugging neck open back frilled sundress and added a pair of yellow heels. She used the hairdryer and once her hair was ready she did a messy bun. She added some bold red lipstick and a smoked out winged eyeliner.

Once she was ready she took out a clutch and said goodbye to her butler. She drove to the mansions and met with two unfamiliar luxurious cars.

She sighed and parked her car. She took the folder where the contract was in her hand and entered the mansion. "Where's my father?" She asked a maid. "Master and the guests are in the living room area." The maid answered and Clair nodded. She saw a few bodyguards inside and frowned.

Three of the bodyguards she did not recognize, she recognized the fourth as one of her father's bodyguards. The bodyguard bowed his head in respect. "Miss Yves your father is waiting inside." When the other guards heard him they also bowed.

"We apologize for our rudeness madam. It is a pleasure meeting you." One of them came forward and Clair frowned. She simply gave them a nod because she was unsure of what to say.

She heard some chatting not far from her. The voices stopped speaking when the sound of her clicking heels was heard. She walked inside confidently.

The first thing she spotted was her father and some other man his age. Adan who she met in the meeting a few days ago and….

She turned around and snatched the gun from one of the bodyguard's waist. She pushed the folder and her clutch bag onto his chest and made her way towards her 'fiance'

Her fiance didn't waste his time and also sped up towards her. She pointed the gun straight at his head and he grabbed her neck. He slammed her against the wall hard.

The others stood there rooted to the floor in shock.

James glared at her fiercely and she did the same. She kicked his stomach and used her gun to hit the arm that was choking her.

"You're alive.." He mumbled and she chuckled. Her laughter died when he attempted to take the gun from her hand. She swallowed and slammed him against the wall just as he did.  "I'll kill you today!" She shouted. She pointed the gun at his head and smirked. "Move again and you're dead." She warned.

He scanned her up and down and his lips twitched. "You want to kill me like that?" He asked and she smirked. "Try me."

"Sure." He replied.

"Clair put the gun down!" Her father yelled and she froze.

He laughed at he reaction. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath to calm herself down. She felt disappointed at herself. She almost killed a man in front of her father.

"What the hell just happened.." Adan mumbled with his jaw on the floor.

Clair slowly put down the gun but put it back on his head when she felt him move.

"James!" Mr.Davis yelled warningly and he sighed.

Seeing he stopped she slowly put the gun down on the floor. "What was that just now?" Her father questioned angrily and she sighed. "You are asking me? He's the one trying to kill me okay!?" She defended.

"To be fair you attacked first," James commented. And wiped the blood from the corner of his lips calmly but his eyes were cold and had a killing intent shown.

"Shut up!" Clair glared at him.

Adan closed his mouth once again in shock. 'Did she just yell at my brother?' He swallowed hard. "Dad I'm scared." He told his father. Mr.Davis glared at him. "Tsk."

"Are you going to explain?" Her father asked and Clair gulped nervously. "He's the enemy." She answered. "He's your fiance damn it!" He yelled.

"You heard him. Why are you trying to kill your future husband Ainara?" James mumbled grumpily.
