SUGAR BROTHERS
THE TWENTY FOUR

Damian took off his sunglasses as he got out of the car, he looked at this house in front of him.

The house was not large, but to Damian it was too small.

So this is where Clara lived all this time?

Damian wanted to knock on the door and meet Clara, asking her about her current situation but Damian abandoned his intentions.

Considering Clara is always hysterical and hates the existence of Damian makes Damian hesitant to meet Clara at this time, Clara is not healthy. Damian did not want Clara's condition to worsen just because of her presence.

Damian gets back in his car, maybe he'll see Clara next time. I will go to the hotel first. He had just arrived and came straight here, he had not had time to rest.

Damian types a message to his man to keep an eye on Clara, making sure Clara is okay.

Clara put the newly redeemed vitamin from the pharmacy to the table, she sat on the sofa with her head down. Clara had her temples kneaded, today was really a hard day for Clara.

Clara doesn't know how she should react, Clara never imagined herself pregnant with Damian's child. Clara really hates Damian but on the one hand Clara can not hate the child she was carrying.

Clara knows what it's like to be wasted, not loved by parents. Clara did not want the child in her womb to feel what she had once felt. Clara is not.

But if Clara maintains her womb then what's the front of her job? How will Clara's boss react?

Clara says that she is a single woman, if it arrives now Clara claims to be pregnant then her boss will consider her not a good woman or feel cheated or even Clara can be fired because it is considered troublesome later because she is pregnant.

Clara is in a dilemma, she can't lose her job. If Clara loses her job at this time Clara does not know if Clara can find another job with this pregnant condition.

“You came back without a penny?!” Thomas kicked the table, upset that Diana had come home with no money for the umpteenth time.

“I've tried Thomas, I've tried to return to work at another hospital but no hospital wants to accept a troubled doctor, I even went to visit Damian again today but Damian wasn't around. Even though Damian exists I'm sure he will just kick me out and won't be willing to give me even a single coin.”

Thomas shook his head no matter what, “Dumb, that's your business. All I want is for you not to come back to this house empty-handed. If you come back without bringing anything better you don't have to set foot in this house.”

Diana was shocked by Thomas' words, what the hell is that? If Diana doesn't come home with money then Diana can't go back to this house? The house clearly costs Diana who pays.

“Why can't I go back to this house, this house I paid Thomas not you, after all, if you really can not be separated from drugs and your drinks, why not you just go looking for money for yourself?”

Thomas growled, he rose from his position and grabbed Diana's hair strong. “Who taught you to be this defiant huh?!”

Diana grimaced in pain, always like this Thomas always hurt Diana whenever Diana did not comply or everything went against her will.

Tears flowed down Diana's cheeks, always hurting Thomas. But why Diana could not leave Thomas, every time Diana was fed up with the treatment of Thomas Diana always remembered the happy time with the man. And also his deep love for Thomas.

Diana always tried to stay by Thomas' side even though she was battered by the man she loved.

But how long can Diana survive?

Did he die in Thomas's hands?

The man he loved half-dead?

***

Damian came out of the bathroom refreshed, he checked his cell phone again where he knew there was a new message from his man.

No message yet.

Damian lay in bed remembering what had happened today.

He was so in a hurry to fly here because he heard Clara was not well, Damian had panicked and almost approached the person he told to watch over Clara and intend to hit the man for not being able to carry out his duties.

But when Damian arrived he actually got the news that Clara was pregnant.

Of course Damian knows it's his son, Damian recalls that before he had not used safety when dealing with Clara and Damian was sure Clara did not sleep with men other than himself because as long as Clara went Damian included his man on the side Clara was silent.

Where Clara works.

What time does Clara go to work, and where does she usually have lunch.

After work Clara stopped by wherever Damian knew.

Everything Damian knows, violates privacy, but Damian doesn't care.

Because it's for Clara's safety and for Damian himself.

A smile etched on Damian's lips, thinking that his son was growing in Clara's stomach made Damian happy not to be upset.

Damian had hoped for a child, but Damian was expecting a child from Diana because Diana was the woman Damian loved.

But who would have thought now Damian would actually have a child from Clara, Diana's sister.

Damian hopes his son will grow up healthy and similar to Clara.

He wanted to have a daughter, just imagining it made Damian's smile widen.

Damian is eager to see Clara, asking if Clara is okay and if their son wants anything. But Damian still can't do it.

Damian has to do it slowly, if he re-forces Clara will only get away and this time Damian will not only be threatened to not have Clara later but also his son.

Damian did not want that to happen, Damian had already started to open his heart. Damian has started to try to believe that he can love others again and trust that he can be happy again.

Damian just needs to be patient.

Clara covered her nose, she was fed up with her lunch.

Though previously no problem but a few minutes later all the food so disgusting in the eyes of Clara and scented unpleasant.

Clara glanced at the embarrassment of her superior sitting opposite her, they were currently having lunch together but Clara just ruined it by feeling nauseous.

Ugh, that's right..

“You okay?”

Clara looked up and shook her head quickly, “No kok Bu Angelina, I'm fine.”

Clara fearfully watched Angelina's change in expression, her superior.

“You look unwell, didn't you check into the hospital yesterday? Then what happened to you, you just look less healthy in my eyes.”

Clara let out a heavy sigh, this is what she was afraid of. This boss had sharp eyes and also incredible intelligence so Clara doubted she could fool her boss about her pregnancy.

“Not a problem Miss Angelina, I'm just too tired.”

Angelina looks nodding, “Don't overwork. I don't want to be considered a cruel boss to make you sick like this. Tomorrow the store will close so you better rest as much as possible.”

Clara nodded and thanked him.

Indeed his superior is scary but also good, Clara will definitely tell the truth soon.

Clara just needs time.

Time to gather all her courage to speak up about her current state.

Yeah, soon.

Clara will do it soon.
