Chapter 8
The car Damian bought was an SUV. I opened the car and got in. Without hesitating I drove away from the house; I looked back to see Damian staring at my car with an unreadable expression. He probably must be happy to see me out of his house for good.
I drove straight to the car dealer and sold the car for a good amount. I went to the house with an agent and sold that too. Now my account balance had many zeros. I immediately went to the train station to buy a ticket; it only cost me extra to join the train leaving immediately back to my hometown. I opened my phone and posted. a short sentence on my Facebook account.
*Time for a new beginning‘
Soon my phone was blowing up with notifications; I frowned when I saw a

particular user had liked my post.
It was Damian.
I sighed and closed my phone; soon after, I got a text. I looked at the sender to see that it was Damian.
‘Where are you? He asked me,
‘None of your business, I sent to him. I turned off my phone and placed it inside my purse, and seconds later my phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was from Damian. I rejected it and put it back in my
purse.
The call came again; I took my phone out, switched it off, and put it back in my purse.
I was going to start afresh. The train was going to leave in ten minutes; in ten minutes I would leave my memories with
Damian behind.
“hi, we meet again” I heard beside me, I turned around to see the man I met at the
hospital days ago.

“Hello,” I said happily,
“remember me?” he joked, I laughed at him, I was glad I saw a family–friendly face.
We made small talk when suddenly there was a commotion outside. I looked out of the window and was surprised to see Damian commanding a group of men. I ducked my head so they wouldn’t see me, but it was too late.
“We have seen her,” one of the men shouted, and Damian came running to my window; he looked disheveled.
“Clara, hey Clara, where are you going?” He asked, and I looked away from him; I didn’t want to see him.
“do you know him?” Robin asked me, I shook my head.
“just some crazy ex” I shrugged.
“Clara, baby, please look at me. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to hurt you. Ana is my childhood friend, and she has done so

much for me. That is why I did all those things for her,” Damian explained anxiously, but I didn’t care.
“Clara, please, give me a chance to redeem myself. Let us go back to the way we used to be. huh? The nights when you used to massage my head and feet when I had a little headache, he said in a sad voice.
I chuckled: I had done a lot of pathetic things when I was in love with him.
“Please, honey, forgive me. I will do anything; I will even send Ana to another country,” he bargained desperately.
“Would you cut her open too?” I turned and asked him; I saw him freeze, looking at me like I suddenly grew evil king horns, and I smiled at him.
“That’s what I thought,” I told him; at that moment, there was a voice
announcing that the train would leave in a minute.
Damian grew more desperate.

Please, Clara, please,” he begged.
“Stop that train!” he shouted at his men, and the train was stopped; the announcer announced that due to certain issues, they would delay the departure time, and I gritted my teeth.
I marched out of the train, and Damian followed after. I walked up to a car and got in without looking at who the driver was. I turned around and was surprised to see that Ana was the driver. I turned around to get out, but she locked the door.
“You can’t leave,” she sneered at me. Why did Ana follow me?
She immediately started driving; my heart beat painfully in my chest. I was going to die.
“When Damian left me in his office, I knew he was going to look for you. I can’t have him leave me for you. Today I will prove to you that Damian loves me more than he loves you,” she said with a wolf

look in her eyes.
I looked back at her in disbelief.
“Are you mad? What do you plan to do?” I asked,
“You will see,” she said. She drove at high speed out of the train station and out of the city, pushing the car to its limit, and soon we got to the mountainside.
“Ana, are you crazy?” I asked her when I realized what she wanted to do.
“Yes, I am crazy about Damian,” she said, driving towards the edge of the mountain. I could see the world pass by in a blur, and soon we were flying.
The car tumbled off the road; it tumbled a few times before stopping just at the edge of the cliff. My head throbbed, and I felt a warm liquid flowing down my head. I looked towards Ana to see that she was also.
in the same predicament but worse, but she had a smile on her face.

you crazy? “I shouted. The car
rocked forward, and I stayed as still as
possible. I sighed in relief when I heard a car coming.
It parked by the side, and then I heard a voice.
“Are you ok?” It was Damian. Ana immediately began screaming; I watched from the rearview mirror as Damian rushed down to save us.
“I’ll get you both out,” he said in a shaky voice.
“Sir, wait. If you pull one of them out, the other will fall off the cliff,” one of the men
behind him warned.
Damian froze.
Ana began screaming.
“Help Damian, my baby,” she cried.
My heart stopped when I saw Damian waver; I closed my eyes, and a sigh escaped my lips.

This is where my journey ends.
“Sir, you will have to pick one,” the men behind said. Damian didn’t hesitate.
He bent down and looked at me.
“I am sorry, Clara,” he said, Ana turned to smirk at me as she was being pulled out. No matter how still they tried to be, my car tipped over and fell off the cliff.
