Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 374

"Clara?"

Hearing her name, Ryan's head snapped up, and suddenly all his pain seemed to vanish. Hope sparkled in his eyes. "Really? Did Clara really send you? Why won't she come see me?"

It was Sarah who had made her way in, having jumped through hoops to get there. Clara sure was strict with her brother.

A knowing smile flickered on Sarah's lips. Megan had nailed it; Clara had a tough exterior, both with herself and others, but she was a total softie when it came to the family and friends she vowed to protect. Her so-called 'guarding' was really just her way of keeping Ryan safe. If he kept spiraling, his life would be over.

Sarah's grudge against Clara fit perfectly with Megan's scheme to make Clara suffer.

On Sarah's first night at the club, Clara had singled her out, just a quick look at Dylan and a cool ten grand, instantly solving her money troubles.

She craved the wealthy lifestyle and wanted Dylan even more. But if Clara was just going to mess with her, Sarah was ready to make her pay, whatever it took.

Megan quickly hatched a plan: Sarah was to seduce Ryan and get pregnant. With a child on the way, Clara wouldn’t dare touch her out of respect for the late Johnny.
