Tempted Trapped and Too Late To Run 22

Chapter 22 

The Bradford family was gathered basking in the warmth and joy as they tossed around ideas for the wedding venue. Naomi held Quenas hand, her eyes glistening with emotion 

You have been through the whinger, but you’ve finally found her happiness. You two better hold onto it tight and not let any jealous busybodies mess it up

Quinn gave a gentle smile Mom, Simon and I will be happy” 

Ryan chipped in, If Clara had let go sooner, you two could have been together ages ago ” 

Simon kept glancing at the clock on the wallit was already seven, and still, the door stayed quiet. He burned to the butter nearby Has Clare shown up 77

No, Mr. Simon, she hasn’t been seen.” 

Simon let out an annoyed huff, crossing his arms with a look of displeasure. She’s pulling the same stunt again, isn’t she? I knew it.” 

Everyone’s initial joy turned cold, shifting to disdain 

Naomi’s chest heaved with anger as she pulled out her phone to call Clara. When she got no answer, she sighed in frustration, Sometimes, I wish I hadn’t given birth to herf” 

Quinn quickly handed her a glass of water. Mom, don’t be upset. She might just be caught in traffic. Let’s give it another hour” 

Ryan rolled his eyes. Quinn, stop making excuses for her. It’s always the same story. She claims to end the engagement but never shows up. I thought she meant it this time, but clearly not.

The room’s mood soured, though Quinn couldn’t hide her satisfaction. She had faith in Colton’s knack for stiming up chaos, once he got going, consequences be damned. Clara would be left humiliated, and she had it coming 

By eight o’clock, Clara still hadn’t appeared. Simon slapped the table in frustration, his face darkening. My time’s too precious for this. I’m out of here. Mr. and Mrs. Bradford, I’ll see you later

Everyone’s faces fell as Quinn hurried to see him out. Simon, please don’t be mad.” 

Simon wasn’t exactly angry, he felt a mix of emotions and just wanted to leave 

After seeing him off, Quinn returned, locking somewhat hurt. Naomi handed her a card loaded with a million dollars. Quinn, here’s a little something to make up for tonight. Use it for something nice, and let’s check out that house you liked soon.” 

Thanks, MomQuinn hugged her arm. I knew you always had my back.” 

You need to leam to stand your ground more, or you’ll always be taken advantage of.” 

Clara woke up from unconsciousness to find it was already ten at night. She sighed, pulling herself out of bed. The room was empty

This must have been a suite Dylan set up for her. Feeling clammy, she headed to the bathroom for a shower 

When she emerged, there was a knock at the door. She opened it to find a staff member with a service cart

Ms. Clara, you’re awake. Would you like something to eat?” 

She was starving, so she ate a little and felt her strength return. As she checked her phone, she saw a slew of missed callsfrom Naomi, Simon, and even Ryan. Simon had texted her 

Simon: I knew you wouldn’t come

Clara’s expression stayed calm as she noticed messages from an unknown number.X 

You won’t be so lucky next time. You’re done for 

She guessed it was Colton. Her face darkened, she promised herself Colton wouldn’t get away 

w with this.

Just then, another message from the unknown number came through

[Nate’s in the hospital. Get ready for payback. You can’t handle his ways. Who knows whose bed you’ll wake up in next

These two were truly disgusting 

Her current place wasn’t safe, and she couldn’t go back there for now. She called Megan and found out Colton was drinking at Moonlight. Clara decided to head there

She found Megan still in her server’s outfit. “Megan, can I borrow your outfit?

*Clara, don’t do anything stupid. If something happens, fill get in trouble.” 

Nothing will happen.” 

Megan reluctantly handed over her clothes, and Clara changed into them, adding a hat before heading to Colton’s private room. Colton 

was the younger her of the Wen family name that camed weight, though not as much as the designated successor 

Cars kept her head down, serving drinks to the room’s occupants Tonight’s guests were a mix. Some were close to Colton, and others. Just happened to be there, drinking together

Colton, already on edge grew more belligerent with alcohol Clara’s just a tramp. Nate had her all night. Her screams echoed down the 

anche 

Healy isn’t the after Simon? Why would she go with Nate 

Goton neered ou don’t know her. She’d do anything to please Simon, even cozy up to every man around him. She’s just a highclass escort if you’re close to Simon, you can have her She visits the clinic hundreds of times a year, and I’m afraid she’s caught something.”
