Chapter 728 - Ben and Clara(V) (1/2)
”Farak,” she murmured.
Tightening the grip around the rod that he was holding, Farak Lafit nodded his head, ”It's me, I thought you lost your memory or something after I attacked you with this earlier.”
Passing past the hanging body, he pulled an old metal chair and sat down right in front of her. ”Bad, bad very bad elder sister,” he murmured.
Looking at his red eyes, pale face, chapped lips and his actions, Clara knew that he was high on drugs again.
Her life in the lafit family was nice and comfortable initially. Everyone loved and treated her like the little mistress of the house. At that time the little Clara was happy with the amount of love and attention she was getting. After being in the orphanage for almost five years, she always craved for love and a family. After being adopted and loved by the Lafit family, she thought she had everything and life couldn't be any better but everything changed after Farak Lafit was born.
After the next heir of the Lafit family was born, the whole Lafit family rejoiced in joy. Everyikr started doting and looking after the little boy, completely ignoring Clara's presence. There were times when her mother Helena Lafit who once doted on her and always refused to leave her side would even forget to call Clara out for dinner.
Clara still remembered the time when she was down with a very high fever but her parents still left for a part alone with their son, leaving her alone. That is when uncle George canceled all his plans and stayed back with her. He took care of her all night and even took her to the hospital the very next day for a checkup. When the whole Lafit family ignored and disdained her, uncle George was the only one who loved and adored her.
As years passed by, she got accustomed to her parents biased behaviour and their cold treatment towards her. They showered all their love and attention to Farak who was very notorious and spoiled. There were uncountable times when Farak would get into very serious trouble but father Lafit would cover everything up using his connections. All Clara had was uncle George and she was happy with it.
Uncle George was more than just a father figure for her. He was her idol, her best friend and the only person she could trust until Ben barged into her life.
Not wanting to stay with the Lafit family anymore, Clara insisted on attending college in the states. With uncle George's help, she convinced her parents and flew to the states and that is where she met Ben.
After meeting Ben, her life changed. He showered so much love on her that she completely forgot about all her sufferings in the Lafit family. He was just perfect for her and she was also head over heels for him, they were the best couple but who would've thought that this happiness wouldn't last long.
