Clarissa’s Pov:- I swallowed visibly while debating what to ask him, I know nothing about Shade, I’m confused but I had been researching about this as I had to handle Apollo while staying here. I had read how to behave with a person with MPD, I made myself remember it. “I-I want to talk to Apollo? Please let me!” I asked with a smile, My heart was beating rapidly while I felt tensed and nervous about him. I noticed the way his eyes moved to my face to my body which made me self-conscious, “You’re Clarissa?” he asked, I noticed that his accent was different, the way he said my name sounded different. I nodded my head in response and maintained the smile. “I have 'eard a lot about you, Nice meeteng you,” he said while extending his hand towards me. I forced a smile and took his hand, he has an Irish accent.“You too,” I replied, “I'm shrry but I can't allow you to talk to Apollo, as de topic will cause him pain and I can't allow dat,” he said politely, I was disappointed at his rep
Tears were rolling down my eyes as I glanced at him, I had to save him and help him… I can’t see him like this! “Hello,” Romulus answered, “Rom-Romulus,” I cried while holding the phone, “Clarissa?” He replied with concern in his voice. “Apo-Apollo,” I tried to make words but I was sobbing, “What happened, Clarissa, What happened to my brother? Please stop crying and tell me…” he yelled with evident panic in his voice. “He-He fell unconscious, please come here,” I cried, “Okay, please stop crying and be with him, I will be there soon, be strong!” he said and hung on me. I walked back to Apollo and sat down near him, “Apollo!” I cried but there was no response, “Please open your eyes,” I moved my hand under his head and pulled him on my lap, tears rolling down my eyes while yelling for him to open his eyes. Hearing my cry the butler and maids came to the living room, “Bring water,” I asked looking at the butler, he nodded his head and ran to the kitchen. “Apollo!” I shook him
Clarissa POV:- I have to ask Romulus about it right away, I thought and turned to Romulus who was strolling back to me after leaving Benjamin outside. “What happened to him at 7?” I asked and I noticed his shoulders sank and he held a weak sigh. “My grandmother… After losing my grandfather, she has changed, my mother didn’t know the condition my grandmother was in and let her take Apollo to her home… Grandma used to beat him a lot when he did things wrong and abused him… he was so scared of her that he never said any of us about it and tolerated her for years… Cyrus had come to the light to make my grandmother stop beating and he even defended Apollo and told everything she did to my mother… After seeing what my grandmother is doing to Apollo with her own eyes, my mother stopped sending him to her… Cyrus hated my mom for sending Apollo to my grandmother but what he doesn’t know is… that my mother... didn’t want my brother to witness what my father was doing to my mom… she wanted to
While I closed my eyes, everything Romulus said rushed to my mind, Rage filled my body when I recalled what Juliette did to Apollo, I have to confront her for it. She has no right to do those things to him and how dare she say those nasty words to my Apollo! By just looking at him, women wet their panties and they do everything to have him. He has every single thing that any woman craves for. I felt him kiss my shoulder and push my hair back, “Please stop crying, Clarissa!” he added, I drew back and glanced at him. He wiped my tears and picked up my hands in his while dragging them to his lips and kissing my knuckles. Our perfect moment was ruined by a Romulus, we heard him clear his throat and looked at him. He was clearly trying not to smile. I blushed and looked away, “Brother!” he said while strolling to Apollo. “You had to ruin it!” he said while glancing at him, Romulus chuckled “How are you feeling?” he asked with concern evident in his voice. “I’m okay!” he responded flatl
Clarissa's POV."Calm down sweetie," My mom said as she watched me pace back and forth in our living room. I had been pacing for forty minutes right now angry and pissed at society."How will I calm down mom when I was fired for just helping my fellow colleague," I yelled out of frustration."Bastard," I muttered, For which I gained a warning glare from my mom."He deserves it!" I said like it was obvious."You didn't tell me what actually happened," she asked sitting on the couch, waiting patiently to hear why I was fired by my so-called boss."One of my colleagues at the canteen has nothing to eat at home, and he has a family to feed. He never ate anything in the canteen even though he was working there. He many times came to work without having food. I couldn't see him work without having food; he looks pale and very... you know, weak. So, I ordered some food from my account and gave it to him. That bitch Morgan has told this and added some more to the boss Mr. Anderson, he shouted
It took me a sec to snap back to reality and face the person who was smiling at me. I walked towards her; she immediately stood up and extended her hand, "Hello, Miss Green. My name is Lillian Davis" She greeted me, I took her hand and shook it."Hello," I replied,"I'm a personal assistant of Mr. Matthew Villin; I'm here to talk about his interest in having you as his personal publicist," she said.I nodded my head and walked towards my desk and laid my bag on the table as I sat down on my chair."Please," I said, gesturing to her to take a seat in front of me. She smiled and walked ahead and sat in front of me while taking a file and placing it in front of me."This contains the pay and all other things," she said, I nodded and took it and opened the file.The Villin's are the most fearful and extremely dangerous family. There are many rumors and stories of them ruling the city for years. The system can't do anything against them even if they do, there's a man who would rescue them
I heard sounds of different voices and other things which were making my head throb in pain, I opened my eyes and everything was blurry and I blinked my eyes to make it clear for me to see where I was. I see my mom talking to a man wearing a white coat.She was worried, I can tell that by just looking at her expressions. I tried to make a sound but my throat hurt like I hadn't drunk water for many days. Still, I managed to whisper but it went unheard by her. This time I tried to whisper louder and she heard me.She hurriedly walked toward me, "hon, Are you okay?" She asked while taking my hand in hers, I nodded my head at her as I tried to sit up but felt this pain in my head increasing by my move. My mom put a pillow on my back and helped me sit. I leaned back on the pillow."Water" I managed to ask,She handed me over a glass of water, I gulped it whole. I turned to my mom and asked, "What happened?""You had an accident," she said and immediately everything rushed to my head.I rem
The office was so beautiful, There were a black executive desk and leather upholstered chairs and light brown wood wall cladding, golden accents, and a crystal chandelier centering the meeting table all complementing each other creating an elegant-looking office.At the right of the office were two ceiling windows with light brown color curtains on either side of the window. On the other side, is the table with a bookshelf filled with many books.I walked inside my office admiring each and every corner of it, with my mouth wide open."Did you like it, Miss Green?" Asked Lillian."Yes, I love it," I said honestly.I walked to my desk and put my bag on it. My things were brought here and were placed on the desk. Everything was set up neatly for me to use."I'll let you do your work, Miss Green," she said, for which, I turned around and nodded at her."Come, Miss Miller, I'll show your office," she said to Lydia and walked her out of my office.I traced my fingers against my desk and inh
