LOGINGiovanni threw his hands in the air like he was admitting defeat. There was a playful smile to his face but Cara could see clearly that the smile didn't reach his eyes. There was visible tension in them. The second Romeo walked out of the room, Giovanni seemed to visibly relax. He brought a calmer smile to his face and cleared his throat. “Mrs Armani, I'm so sorry I couldn't visit you any earlier. I heard what happened only a while ago though, but I would have come sooner if it wasn't for my father.” Cara's brows creased softly. “Did something happen to your father?” “No, he's fine. He just needed my help with some things back in Asia. Romeo claimed he didn't want to disturb me, that's why he didn't tell me earlier. Are you okay now?” Cara smiled and nodded her head. “Apart from the usual pains I should feel normally from time to time, I'm fine. But I'm also not fine, honestly, being locked up in here is hurting me mentally and I just want out!” She groaned. Giovanni couldn't he
Cara woke up to the sound of voices around. Opening her eyes, the first face she saw was her husband's, looking just as worried and anxious as Cara was feeling. Standing just a few feet away from him was Abigail. She was engrossed in a conversation with a man putting on a white coat. "Cara, can you hear me?" Romeo asked, taking her hands in his and squeezing it softly. She nodded her head softly, everything still somehow felt like a dream to her and she wanted to be sure that she had woken up. His voice called the attention of Abigail and the man towards her and they rushed over. .Unlike Abigail, the man didn't touch Cara but it seemed he had already done a full evaluation from just looking at her.Opening her eyes fully, only then did she realize that there were more people in the room. Tori sat on the other side of her and Miranda sat beside her. Their eyes were fixed on Cara and she could feel the worry in them just by meeting their eyes. "Okay, I'm going to need you to tell
25. Feel nothing Abigail walked over to Cara and held her hand. "Honey, you're not the problem, I'm just going to need you to calm down, okay? Remember what we said this morning about you being stressed out.""No Abby, think about it." Cara said amid a sniff. "Romeo is ever so loyal to me, even more loyal than a dog will ever be to its owner! But it's not enough for me because that bitch is still around. "I know he won't cheat on me, I know he's not Chris, I know things are going to be different this time around. But then again, what if it isn't? What if I'm just trusting him blindly? Or what if I'm just doubting him for no fucking reason?!""Enough!" Abigail barked. Cara was surprised by her outburst. It was a second time that same day. Planting her hands on her hips, she let out a soft sigh. "Enough will all the Romeo and Vicky drama for one fucking second! You're not in a very stable condition, your vitals have been way off the chart since I arrived this morning. "If other doc
Romeo couldn't stop thinking as he kept looking for Vicky, she was the main reason that his wife was having a hard time. Giovanni's words repeated in his head. He was indeed one of the reasons she was being stressed. He had to do something about it. After finding her at the playground, he stood by her until she was done crying. He promised to remain by her side until she was smiling again, and then he would tell her. Standing opposite her now, he tried not to act too mean or too soft either. "Vicky, we both know what this is doing to you and we both know it's not going to end well." He tried not to make this about his wife but about her instead. If he wasn't willing to step back because of his wife then at least she would be willing to step back for her own sanity. "What do you mean?" Vicky asked with a soft laugh. "We can't become what we once were, we can't become more, there can never be a future for us. We can't even be best friends anymore. You understand this so please do
Vicky sat at the swing set of the estate's playground. Tears pooled down her face as she stared at the diamond wedding ring snaked around her finger. Those words hit her way more than she would like to admit. Her marriage was a very sensitive topic to touch, she hated thinking about it, she didn't even want to remember that she was married. Yet she wore her ring every single day to remind herself of the terrible mistake that she had made. Who would ever hear her out if she told them what she was truly going through in that home. What would they think about her if they had found out that she had run away?The thought of it weighed heavily on her chest and she felt a tightness there, making it hard to breathe. She felt a figure standing before her and before she could look up, he crouched down on one knee in front of her. Romeo's eyes seemed to glow under the sunlight, the tenderness in his gaze was melting her heart. The way he made her feel made her break out in tears again. She
Cara didn't feel like eating but it was easier to force the food down her throat than to face Abigail and tell her she didn't want to eat. Everyone was gathered around the dining table and they ate without exchanging a single word. A soft cough escaped Cara's lips every single person at the table-- save for Vicky-- raised something in her direction, each of them looking at her with worried expressions. Tori held a glass of water, Romeo held a napkin, Abigail raised her stethoscope. Cara smiled. "I'm fine." She said calmly. Maybe it would be better to be in the hospital after all, she thought to herself. She continued eating but couldn't bring herself to down the food properly anymore. Every single pair of eyes were placed on her, watching her just in case something happened. "Guys I'm going to die from all your stares!" She exclaimed, dropping her fork back into her plate with a soft clatter. "We can't help it," Abigail said. "I'm not going to let anything happen to either of y
Jessica sat with her back almost hunching, she could not help the feeling of nervousness that clawed at her body from every angle. Remembering her conversation with her ex the night before made her feel so anxious. Jayden was a dubious man, a very dubious one. She hated the fact that they were me
Cara would be lying if she said she was not confused by the sight that played before her eyes. If she was not mistaken, that was Jayden, Jessica's ex boyfriend. So why were they together and acting like a cute couple?But was that really her business? Jessica had laid low for a while now and she ha
Jessica sat by the bar, alone with nothing but her thoughts. Her eyes stared into nothingness and her thoughts spiraled a web around her consciousness. How could Chris be so stupid and heartless at the same time? Was he really feigning ignorance that he did not know how much Cara hated him and wan
Alone in the coldness of her bedroom was Jessica, torn between her wishes and a lifelong debt. She sat down on her bed, knees to her chest with her arms wrapped around them. Her thick duvet was thrown over her body.Her eyes stared at her lamp but she saw nothing. Staring into the emptiness with he
