Chapter 182: Chapter 182

After hours of sleeping, she wakes up as a result of the sound coming from the couch, where the young man is lying, he is snoring really loud

What thou heck? She grunted as she sat on her bed. She ceased her forehead as she watch the man snoring loudly on the couch

Claudia stared at him, she realized that the man is very handsome and he is probably cold, with the way he fold his body, Claudia pull the IV drip from herself and grabbed a blanket to make her way back to the couch to cover him. As she put it on him, his eyes bulge open and then closed again, without saying a word to her.

Are you not supposed to watch over me, why then are you sleeping? She murmured, she is a bit amused with the way the man is looking while sleeping, Claudia find him too handsome to be a bodyguard.

Everyone thought that Claudia is going to hurt herself, but they were mistaken, she is not going to do that, she is going to right her wrong, she is going to hold up to her mistake, ready to face the trial, she did wrong and she is willing to pay for all her wrong.

She felt sorry for her mother, if she was a bit sensitive and not over dramatic about Barbara, her mother will still be there, her life will not have been wasted. She felt responsible for her mother dead, her greed had pushed her mother to the grave

I am sorry... Mother, I am sorry!! She sob again, she can't help but feel guilty.

You should stop now.

He said in his sleep, Claudia look at him, the man not only snore, he talk even in his sleep.

Good morning! Claudia greeted, causing Noah to almost jumped off from the couch, his eyes bulge out, seeing Claudia's blanket on his body.

Good morning!!! He replied her, Claudia move her gaze to him.

Come and join me.

What?

Yes, you should eat, grandpa stop by to bring breakfast, he didn't stay longer. Claudia said, Noah hurry to arranged the food on the table, Claudia is watching him, she knows the next thing that he will do, is to say, he is not going to join her. You owe me a meal or else I will tell them, you sleep on me"

He scoffed! Why do he always had to be bodyguard to plastering client.

Are you alright? She asked noticing the frown on Noah face.

I am fine. Noah answer with a smiled. What is your name? Noah asked, she look at him.

Criminal! That was Claudia reply, he look at her.

I am Noah. She didn't say anything, after some hour, the door open revealing Dante, who had a wide smile on his face.

How are you doing? Is Noah taking good care of you. He sat on the couch next to Claudia.

"I am sorry" Claudia murmured, she was ashamed to face him.

"Just forget it, Claudia, I have talk to Barbara, although she is still very upset with you, I am sure with time, she will let go of the pain, you and your mother had cause her alot of pain but not to worry, she is not going to press charges against you till you are perfect and she is going to make sure, you get out of jail pretty soon, so you could be with your father and grandfather"

I am really sorry, I was selfish but the truth is, I have no excused for my actions, I really don't want to hurt anyone but the truth is, I was jealous of Barbara, of everything she had but she is still my sister, so I hold no grudge against her, if she really can't forgive me and father doesn't want to speak with me as well, I really need this to restructured my life. Claudia doesn't know how to face everyone, the prison will only be the place where she could hide her shameful face.

Dante, what about a different punishments? Instead of sending her to jail. Noah interrupt their conversation, Dante look at him, that was the first time, Noah will want a different punishments for anyone who did wrong.

Do you know a better one? Dante asked with wink at him

Why not make her stay with her father and grandpa,she should take care of them and stay beside Barbara, to run her father's company. I think you should know that she need Claudia now for running the company and she is struggling to face them all, that could be a bigger punishment. What do you think? Noah asked and turn his face to Claudia.

What? Claudia yelled.

Yes Claudia! That will be the best punishment, you should grabbed that opportunity if they option for it.

Dante smiled inwardly and tap his friends shoulder.

Come on Noah, I think Claudia wants to rest now, we should let her rest. Noah wants to still say another word, but the truth is, Dante didn't let him, he put him out.

****

Hey man was up with you been her spokesperson and solicitor, don't tell me, you are falling for her.

I am not, I am only concern, don't you think the old man, will really want his two kids to get along? Dante look at him, he never thought of that before. Stop staring like I am speaking some foreign language, it's enough torture for a culprit to face the people she hurt everyday than been lock out of the entire world.

I will talk to Barbara about it but the truth is, I don't think Barbara will buy it...

You are her husband and she listen to you, so try talking her into it. Dante stared at him, he frown, that look on Dante's face is one thing he understands.

Fine, I will help a brother, after all, you are helping me handle alot of things. Lover!

Noah turned around, he almost choked when Dante called him lover. He turned back to go back to meet Claudia, Dante laughed and shake his head, he need to tell Jayden that their beloved stone hearted friend is falling hopelessly for Claudia, he just hope that, Claudia turned a new live and open her heart to love after all, the man she love is no more.

*****

Barbara was lying on the bed, when Dante returned, he smiled and walked gorgeously to his wife.

Hon! Is that you?

Yes love, sorry I took long.

It's fine, how did it go? Barbara asked as he kiss her.

It's fine, Claudia is sorry.

Hm! You shouldn't take that woman words to heart, she is not sorry, she is really a demon like her mother and that reminds me, I need to buy some things for dad, his nurse said he need them.

I will asked someone to do it...

No, I want to do it myself, I want to prepare a nice meal for him all by myself. I want to treat my dad and I haven't really tell him that I am pregnant and I planned to have a little party for my dad, do you think we could invite mother.

Dante frown, he doesn't want his love to get stress.

Stop frowning let's go and you can tell me all about your day on our way.
