Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 1

The driver opened the suite’s door for her, bowing politely

Clara Calloway stood at the entrance, looking at the darkness inside the room. Every fiber of her screamed to turn around and bolt! But the check that was clenched in her fist made her straighten up, she forced herself to walk in.

The door was closed behind her, blocking out the last shred of light! Clara, like a frightened bird, frantically searched for a light switch, only to find there were none

in the room.

Suddenly…

She felt someone approaching from behind!

Just as Clara was about to scream, a pair of large hands suddenly covered her mouth!

“Quiet. I don’t like noisy women.”

The voice was deep and frightening, laced with a hint of annoyance.

The next moment, she was abruptly lifted and roughly thrown onto the soft bed!

“Hold on!” Clara pressed against his chest with her voice trembling. “I want to know. Why me?”

“You don’t need to know why.”

She wanted to ask more, but his lips had already silenced her….

Even now, Clara still remembered that man’s icy voice, his cold hands, and his rough, seemingly endless actions, until she lost consciousness.

Ten months later, outside a villa in a suburb overseas, a dozen black Bentleys were waiting at the gate. They were waiting for the birth of the youngest offspring of the Melendez family.

Inside the villa, Clara was in a battle with death!

“Push, don’t give up! We can see the baby’s head!”

“I can’t… I’m all out of strength!” Clara’s forehead was soaked, her face pale as a ghost from the pain! Thank God, the bed rail in her hands was made of iron, otherwise, it could have been crushed! “I can’t do it, I’m really out of strength!”

“Ms. Calloway, the lady has specifically insisted on a natural birth, and without the use of any painkillers. It’s better for the baby’s growth! Just hang in there, and follow my lead. 1, 2, 3. Push!”

“Ah! It hurts too much! It really hurts” She couldn’t tell if the moisture on her cheek was tears or sweat. At that moment, she wished she could just die, not having to give birth anymore!

The doctor was in a bind. On one hand she saw the laboring mother exhausted, on the other hand, she was afraid of the Melendez family. She didn’t dare to decide lightly.

“Childbirth is always painful. If you don’t push, the baby might die in your womb!”

The doctor’s words seemed to have an effect. Clara suddenly mustered all her strength, and gave birth to a baby boy in one go!

“Ahhh…” The cries of a newborn filled the room. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“It’s a boy! The little one has a heart–shaped birthmark on his back!”

Hearing the baby’s cry, the half–unconscious Clara weakly lifted her hand, “Give it to me… I want to see him…”

The doctor held the baby, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “I suggest you don’t look I’m a mother too, so I know looking will only make it more painful.”

With that, she handed the baby to two men in black suits standing outside the door.

“No, dont, I. I want to see him just once!”

But the men in black had already left with the baby. She could hear the sound of the car engine starting.

The doctor looked at her expression and sighed. Just as she was about to disinfect Clara, Clara suddenly clutched her stomach and groaned.

“It hurts. It’s starting to hurt again!”

“Still hurting?” The doctor was taken aback, immediately checked her. “Oh my God, there’s another baby in your belly”
