Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 82

“Burn those who burned me!”

Chapter 82

“Make sure you both come home.”

That final word pierced Clara’s heart with warmth. Finally, she could feel at home.

After saying their final goodbyes, Clara and Gloria headed to their new condo.

“Whoo–hoo!!! Clara are you ready! The new adventure starts now mama! You’re finally an adult, AND we gotta new mystery man on our hands.”

Clara slightly blushed. She hadn’t heard from her mystery benefactor since the day of her flight, but she did hear from her friend Christine about some of what happened at the gala. She and Gloria had a good time laughing at that, but because Christine didn’t attend the gala, she wasn’t sure who the mystery person was.

“I’m meeting up with Terra in a few weeks so I should have the full story.”

That was the day after the gala, Clara knew she would be hearing from them soon.

The movers finished unpacking the condo swiftly leaving the girls time to unwind. While relaxing in their new living room, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“I’ll get it.”

Gloria popped up before Clara could move.

“Ehhh!!!! Casey!!!”

Casey picked Gloria up and hugged her tight, Planting a soft kiss on her lips, she beamed brightly.

“Hey baby, did you miss me?”

“Did I miss you? Yes!”

Casey laughed lightly as he made his way into the condo. Looking around before spotting Clara.

Casey bear hugged Clara spinning her in a circle. She couldn’t help but laugh, Casey was every bit a big brother.

“Hey! Glad you’re here!”

Gloria interjected.

“Me too! I’m starving!”

Both Clara and Casey laughed out loud.

“You got a point, I’m a little hungry too. Y’all want some pizza; my treat.”

Gloria instantly perked up.

“Oh! I know a great pizza place not far from here, let’s go!”

Gloria took everyone to Pizza Palace. After making their order, the three of them sat at a booth catching up. Casey showed the girls pictures from his family vacation.

“OMG! It looks like everyone had so much fun!”

Gloria gushed as she scrolled through the pictures.

“Yeah, my mom said next vacation you gotta come.”

Gloria blushed. She and Casey’s mom bonded over Christmas vacation. Casey suddenly looked at Clara with a mischievous smile,

“So, I heard what happened at your step–sister’s little gala.”

Clara laughed as she stuffed fries in her mouth.

“Yup, apparently somebody made them look very foolish.”

Casey looked at Clara with a puzzled expression.

“Somebody? You mean, you don’t know?”

Both Gloria and Clara looked confused.

“Know what?”

Gloria asked as she sprinkled garlic on her pizza.

“It was Ethan Taylor.”

WHAT!!!!!!

Clara could hardly believe her ears. ETHAN TAYLOR! Why?

“I don’t understand. Are you saying Ethan Taylor ruined my sister’s gala? Why?”

“Well, because of you.”

Clara and Gloria’s eyes bulged. Gloria practically choked on her soda.

“Wait! Ethan Taylor knows Clara. Clara you know him?”

“What! No! I have no idea what’s goin on right now. Casey, are you sure?”

Casey wiped his hands and reached for his phone, Pulling up a video, he widened his screen so both girls could. It was video from the gala. The scene was when Ethan confronted the Grangers.

Clara could hardly believe what she was seeing, there was Ethan Taylor, confronting her father on her behalf. But the most shocking part came next. The phone call. Clara looked on in shock as she remembered that exact conversation. Suddenly, Gloria spoke up.
