C18 Birth of the twins

As a formerly rich heiress and a young girl growing amidst luxury before the unfortunate incident that struck her family into bankruptcy, Clara Johnson grew up dreading her currently poor state. And her dad... her strict father who took illegal loans from the loan sharks of the Underworld, could find no place to hide after countless threats to pay off his debts. Clara lost her mother in the midst of all the threats and her dad turned to drowning himself in misery with alcohol and living a retarded life.

The loan sharks held no hope of Clara's father...Marlon Johnson, ever paying his debts to them so they took his daughter instead, as a bargain to have her work to pay off all her family's debts.

It all started with a brutal rape that took Clara's virginity, and as a weak girl then, she had always cried herself to sleep in a crumpled mess whorehouse.

Later, Clara was sold to please scoundrels who fantasized about her beauty after she had turned into a dancer in their clubs. Her soft and tender heart began to harden as she went through these current experiences in her life.

Until one day, she accidentally committed her first murder, after withstanding the frequent harassment she faced at the hands of her buyer. Instead of regrets and fear, Clara found a new side to herself. She began to feel a sense of power and was very satisfied with the result of the man she killed. He had been a frequent torment in her life for so long.

As everything began to process, In her grieved moments, Clara's proceeded to harden her heart with only one aim, to descend her wrath on all those who contributed to destroying her life. Therefore, she became a seductress and went on a killing spree on all those who ruined her life.

In merely a month after her mission, the entire underground world became aware of her brutal killings and some began to fear her. She was later nicknamed Deadshot...Due to her severe torture and the way she killed all her culprits, which was so brutal it could even bring a serial killer to his knees.

"What is your name?" At a bar where Clara visited after every murder she executed and drunk herself to slumber, was where she met her age-mate, an innocent young hardworking girl who had to make a harsh living serving in a bar.

As Clara frequented that bar, she had begun to notice that girl for a while now and always stare at the girl. She used to often wonder to herself, as she had the same innocence as that girl before she got sold by her father to join the Underworld.

Yes! Before she could kill the mastermind behind her kidnap, he confessed that it was her dad who sold her to pay off his debts, which angered Clara and drove her to madness. So this was the day she had planned to kill her dad too. But she figured she couldn't do it sober so she came to get drunk tonight.

Henceforth, she will be unstoppable. But Clara didn't know why today of all days became the first time she decided to speak to the girl before her.

"Rachel...My name is Rachel?." The young Rachel Sanders replied to the drunk lady before her.

"And I am Clara!" Clara introduced drunkenly.

"I know! I hear people call you that around here. They said you are a frequent guest here..." Rachel replied in a small tone, as if in fear.

"You know what, I like you Rachel...Come sit with me!." Clara called out with the gesture of her hand since Rachel seemed reluctant to obey, fearing her boss.

"Don't worry...Herlin is my friend. She wouldn't scold you...come on!" Rachel approached the drunk lady in tiny steps until she sat next to her.

"You look so innocent...what are you doing working in a place like this?" Clara asked the shy girl who denied a drink she offered her in a glass.

"I am sorry but I can't drink... thanks." Rachel breathed, barely a whisper, which Clara hysterically laughed at.

"I didn't know there was someone alive who can't drink. Yet, you serve it to everyone here...I am liking you more and more. You know what, you will be my buddy from now on. Cheers!" Clara raised the glass she offered Rachel and gulped it down.

"You know, I was just like you before that man destroyed my life. You wouldn't believe it if I tell you who that man was. A man meant to protect me no matter the situation. A person whom I could count on, to stand by me even when the whole world was against me, became the reason for my miserable state right now." As Clara spoke, a tear escaped her and she wiped it away in anger.

In her drunken stupor, Clara began to talk to the quiet girl before her who only listened to all her gibberish, until Rachel's expression changed to shock when she heard what Clara said after.

"That man was my father. He was the reason I lost my mother. So he deserves no less than death itself, and I am going to finish him tonight!." Clara got up drunkenly to whisper these into Rachel's ears then giggled as if she had just told a funny joke.

Rachel turned to stare at her in shock and wondered if Clara was only saying stuff like that because she was drunk, so she decided to make her quit drinking.

"I think you have reached your limit. you are already drunk. Here, let me help you to your car." Rachel got up to support Clara who wagged drunkenly and was nearly about to hit the ground when Rachel held tightly to her. Then Clara continued to laugh hysterically until her laughter suddenly turned into tears.

After Rachel placed Clara in her car, she called her usual designated driver to send her home and Clara waved drunkenly at her...

"See you tomorrow...after I am done with tonight's mission." Clara uttered with a smirk and collapsed in the car seat.

Yet, Rachel was left wondering whether Clara was serious about what she just blabbered, but she made nothing of it and went inside the bar to continue her duties after the driver left with Clara.

The death of Clara's father which was discovered the next morning shook the entire news channel...The death of the formal billionaire became the talk of the town. The reports from the investigation claimed Marlon Johnson had hung himself to death. But the news flow in the underground was that, Deadshot killed her father in rage to finish her vengeance.

Since then, Clara was known to be the most feared heartless killer...a seductress assassin whom druglords approached to request the elimination of their business rivals.

"Why did you do it? wasn't it enough when your decisions killed mother? How could you sell me to those scums...!" Clara screamed in anger before her drunken miserable father who still sat with a glass of drink in his hand.

"I know you, Clara...you take after me. You would have taken the same decision as me and wouldn't think twice about it. Why do you want to blame me now? I have given you all the luxuries so far and even sold you so you could continue living a luxurious life too." Marlon uttered with no single remorse or regret of his decision.

"Do you know the kind of life I lived there...oh, you have no idea what I went through. Luxury? Is that all you think this was about? What about my youth, my innocence, and my future? You snatched all that from me with that decision. I hate you, dad! I hate you soo much I even had the intention to finish you off tonight like I did all my tormentors.!" Clara hissed in anger as painful tears flew down her cheeks. And Marlon raised his eyebrows in alarm at what she just said at the end.

Upon seeing that reaction on his face, Clara knew then that, her dad had no idea about everything she had been going through.

"Yes! Dad...your daughter is now a murderer. And let me tell you, I really enjoyed their painful cries as I tortured them before I ended their miserable lives.!

Then the tears in Marlon's eyes which he tried to hide let loose across his cheeks and into his unkempt beard.

"It's no use now for the fake tears...My life is already ruined but I will make sure I won't end up like you! You just said I take after you right? Then I would make sure I won't crumble to misery like you did to yourself... I would grow, and make a fortune for myself by any means, and I would prove to you that, I don't take after you and will never will.!" Clara rushed to exit her dad's place after her outburst before she turned for her last words. "It's no use living a life as worthless as yours. If I were you, I would have found peace in death. Goodbye! and this is the last time you will ever see me.!

And that was indeed the last Clara saw of her dad.

After the news of her father's death, Clara thought she would find peace and finally leave her life, even after carrying out all her vengeance. But instead, she felt empty. And emptiness consumed her and she could no longer discover her true self.

Before her father died, the conversation they had which drove him to commit suicide, made Clara realize the promise she made before him. To never end up like him. So for now, all Clara was yearning for was to amass wealth, which she thought would be her ultimate happiness and a way to a perfect lifestyle. She also became determined to prove something to herself, concerning her final words to her father. She wouldn't end up like him. The downfall of her billionaire father wouldn't be her fate.

However, not until she was given an offer by the most dangerous drug lord of the Underworld, to execute a mission...with an amount of money she could never resist. Despite the death trap mission she was assigned to...to finish off the brutal most feared underground Boss name Tylon Tycoon, Clara gladly accepted it without batting an eyelid.

It became a mission that changed her life for the worse, until she finally met her formal college sweetheart...Nicholas Kurt. That was when Clara decided to spark old love and started dating him to get back everything she had lost of wealth and fortune.

Nevertheless, even though Clara lost the opportunity of getting married to Nicholas in the past, it seemed his wife...Caroline Kurt was about to give her another chance to retrieve her formal aim...Her unlucky moment before, was about to turn lucky now...due to this proposition Caroline just offered her.

To birth an heir to the Kurt Corporation... What better life-span insured security this would benefit her eternally.

Meanwhile, knowing that Caroline had struck that deal with her to agree to do the artificial insemination with her husband...Nicholas's semen. After which, she will live an abundantly luxurious life.

Moreover, from the plan, Caroline shared with her about how they would go about the entire process of the childbirth. So that nobody will ever find out about Clara giving birth to the child. Everybody will believe Caroline was their mother and they will never doubt that.

Caroline had indeed figured out an impeccable plan which began with Clara's fake world tour vacation broadcast.. While she stays in a secure place during the entire period of her pregnancy and childbirth.

After Caroline had faked Clara going on a year holiday across the globe, with reliable evidence to buck it up, so that no one could ever doubt it. Simply to prevent any suspicions later about Clara's sudden disappearance.

Meanwhile, Caroline will parade herself as a pregnant woman to the outside world with a fake pregnant tummy until Clara gives birth.

Henceforth, the deal both ladies struck was only known amongst themselves, with the knowledge of the doctor who suggested the surrogacy and Nicholas, the father of the child.

It happened exactly as Caroline predicted, but since she was battling with a brain tumor. She had delayed her operation until the birth of the children whom she later found out from the scan, were twins and both boys too.

Caroline's operation had only a ten percent rate of her survival, so she didn't want to risk not accomplishing what she started, or maybe failing to witness the birth of the twins. She feared losing her life so she delayed her operation, only to witness Clara's birth and welcomed the twins into her arms.

After Clara Johnson delivered the twins and left with a huge sum of money to live her luxurious lifestyle, Caroline got hospitalized for her tumor to prepare for a series of operations.

However, due to the delay in her surgery before, the tumor spread drastically so Caroline had to undergo different stages of surgeries scheduled the next day. She spent most of her time in the hospital. Yet, happy and contented to finally meet both her sons.

While holding the twins in her arms, Caroline felt an extreme joy, a contentment she had never felt before....the instant she first held Eric and Evans in her arms.

"My sons!" She whispered as tears fell from her eyes amidst smiles. "My most precious little angels!. I am your Mother! your mommy...and I shall name you Eric and Evans. The only thing I regret is our short meeting together." Caroline kissed the boys multiple times on their entire faces longingly, before she handed them back to her husband who was heartbroken about his wife's condition.

"Promise me, Nicholas...that you will take very good care of them. You know Clara didn't want them in the first place, so it's up to you to take care of them in case I don't make it after the surgeries.

"Don't speak like that dear...you will surely recover and get back into health after the surgeries." Nicholas uttered in comfort to his wife, even though the hope in his voice betrayed him. They both knew Caroline wasn't going to make it but there was still hope to hold unto.
