Clara's Mystery - Orphan Trilogy

How can you fall in love when you don't even know who you are? At the age of ten, she was left at the orphanage without any recollection of who she was and where she came from. Twenty years later, Clara Johnson, now the CEO of her own security company, SST, provides top-of-the-line security systems and technology that stamps out the competition. If only they could get the biggest shipping company in the country to upgrade their outdated system. But it seems that the CEO, Sebastian Colfer, will do everything to thwart their efforts. Or so it seems. Behind his icy demeanor, he has a hidden agenda, to woo the spirited CEO of SST. The mystery surrounding her appearance at the orphanage keeps her busy these days, and having somebody in her life is not part of her plan. So she pushes everyone away, but will it always stay that way? ==-=-== This book is purely fictional. Any similarities with people in real life are purely coincidental. ==-=-== Sitting in the back seat of Sebastian's car, Clara could feel the heat emanating from his body. His legs were spread out a little too wide, and they were rubbing against her outer thigh. She tried not to let it affect her, but his arm seemed to graze hers every time the car moved, and that unnerved her a little. They were sitting a little too close if you asked her. Clara tried to get away from him, as far as the space could allow, but her brother didn't want to cooperate. He kept on scolding her to stop squirming. She was trying to find a comfortable position that would keep their body parts from touching, what was wrong with that? Sebastian was tormenting her, and she's had enough. She elbowed her brother and told him to switch places with her. ‘Are you scared to sit close to me?’ Sebastian whispered in her ear. -=- Facebook: Intagram:

Oh Brother! (1)

Sebastian sprawled beside her on the bed and cuddled her sleeping form. Clara gets startled and struggles to get out of his hug. ‘Clara, it’s me. It’s Baz, you’re okay.’

When he hugged her, his intentions were innocent, he just wanted to cuddle. All he wanted was to bring back the time they had that morning. What he forgot was that Clara still has this underlying issue of freaking out when someone hugs her.

Her heart was beating so fast she fought hard to breathe. It took a few seconds before she calmed down. It was just Baz trying to hug her. She kisses his hands and turns to face him.

‘Babe, I’m sorry if I scared you.’ he caressed her face with worry in his eyes.

‘I’m okay. Was that your dad you were talking to, outside?’’ she asked.

‘Yeah, I had to fill him in with what was happening. I know he’s worried, too. But we talked it out, and I think I know what to do.‘
