Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 406

"He actually made you a servant?" Elio clenched his fists tightly. "And then he has the audacity to claim he loved you! How could he bear to see someone he supposedly loved suffer?"

"Whether I suffer or enjoy life, it’s my business. You should get out of here. Take Nestor, and leave the country. Don’t interfere in my affairs anymore."

"But..."

"No more buts! Please, just go. You see what happens when you stick around? I’ll never have a moment’s peace."

Elio clenched his fists in frustration, but he was out of options.

The guard closed the door abruptly, cutting off their line of sight.

Clara slumped onto the ground, looking as though her soul had been sucked out of her.

Just moments prior, she thought that Emmett was merely upset and that she could have found an opportunity to reason with him and asked him to let her go.

But seeing him just then, it was clear he was furious with her. What chance did she have of turning things around?

After what felt like an eternity, she heard the butler's voice.

"Take this to Ms. Calloway in the back garden."

"Ms. Calloway?" Clara was taken aback. "Which Ms. Calloway?"

The butler huffed dismissively. "Naturally, the future lady of our house, Leah Calloway. You didn’t think I was talking about you, did you?"

"Leah is at the Melendez’s now?"
