Clara got married to the love of her life Johnson, and the blissful union was blessed with 4 lovely children. They made up their mind that they weren't going to have more children in order to be able to take care of them. After five years, Clara got pregnant again and when she told her husband he asked her to get rid of the baby but she refused.

It because a serious issue and Clara had to go stay at her parents place where she gave birth to her baby which she named Delight. After a while, she came back to her matrimonial home. Clara shouldered all the responsibility of her baby because her husband refused to take of the baby.

While growing up, her father resented her so much. He always finds fault in all she does and always shout at her at any slightest provocation. This continued for a while until after her Primary Education, her mother sent her to go live with her grandma because their home was too toxic for her.

Her grandma really loved her and did everything possible to bring her up well. Her grandma enrolled her in a secondary school where she kept on performing well. Fast forward to many years later when she finished her secondary school and one of the prominent men that came for their graduation gave her scholarship to study for her Tertiary education due to her academic excellence.

On getting to high school, she studied Petrochemical Engineering. She excelled excellently topping the chart by being the best graduating student in a class filled with boys. After school, Delight secured a good job with lots of incentives in a Petroleum Company. Delight that was rejected by her father when she was a baby turned out to be the most successful in her family, not just that, she was also the one taking care of her parents and siblings. Truly, the rejected stone later became the chief cornerstone.
