Chapter 315: Someone Was Here.

Clara

Today should be a good day, and it is. Or at least… it starts out that way.

I’m sitting across from the doctor, my hands clasped in my lap, trying not to anticipate what she’s going to say. But it’s impossible.

My mind races, it always does.

“Clara,” she finally says, checking the results on the screen one last time, “all your tests are fine.”

My breath catches for a second.

“…fine?”

I look up, she nods, with a calm smile.

“Very fine, in fact. You’re in excellent condition. There’s nothing stopping you from trying to get pregnant.”

I feel something in my chest, something expanding. Warmth, excitement, relief.

All at the same time.

“So…”

my voice comes out softer than I expected, “can y…?”

“Yes,” she replies. “You can start whenever you want.”/

I blink, and for a second… I’m speechless.

“Thank you…” I whisper.

I leave the doctor’s office with a smile I can’t suppress, one of those smiles that comes naturally, one of those smiles you don’t think about.

I walk down the hall feeling that everything… falls into place, that everything is going where it’s meant to

A baby, the idea is no longer distant. It’s no longer a “maybe.” It’s a “it could be now.”

I pick up my phone and text Ethan

“Everything went well. I’ll tell you what the doctor said later…”

I don’t text anymore; I prefer to tell him in person. To see his reaction, to feel that moment.

When I get to the office, everything seems the same as always. My assistant greets me

1 smile back.

“Anything urgent?”

“No, Miss Sinclair. Your schedule is quite clear this afternoon.”

Inod.

“Perfect.”

I enter my office and close the door. I let out a breath, as if I’d been holding it since leaving the clinic.

I walk to my desk and put down my bag. And then… Something stops me, my brow furrows slightly.

I don’t know exactly what it is… but… Something’s different.

I look at the desk; everything is in its place. The documents, the laptop, the pen.

I continue walking slowly. My eyes scan every detail, as if I’m searching for something without knowing exactly what. And then… I see it, as if I knew something was amiss.

The file, the one I left open this morning… It’s closed, perfectly aligned with the rest of the documents.

My breath catches slightly.

No… I didn’t leave it like that. I’m sure of it.

I was reviewing it; I left it open on the right side. I remember that clearly.

My brow furrows even more.

“…?”

I approach, touch the folder, and open it. It’s the same document, nothings missing, nothing’s superfluous.

Everything is… normal, too normal.

My gaze drifts to the pen; it’s different too.

Before, it was closer to the edge; now it’s centered, aligned.

As if someone had placed it intentionally, carefully, precisely,

I feel that familiar tingle, the one I recognize… the one I don’t like, the one that shouldn’t be there.

“No…” I whisper.

I shake my head gently; this has an explanation. It has to

Perhaps my assistant, perhaps she came in… Perhaps she gave the order.

Yes, that’s it. That makes sense.

I walk to the door and open it.

“Did you come into my office a moment ago?”

She looks up, surprised,

“No, Miss Sinclair.”

watch her.

“Really?”

“Yes… I haven’t been in since she arrived.”

The silence settles in again; it’s uncomfortable. Not enough to make a scene, but enough.

I nod slowly.

ay.”

se the door, my hand resting for a second on the doorknob, motionless, cold.
