LOGIN"A whole week with you?!" Rick exclaimed. "I'll pass." "You're dead." Andrew said casually and walked up to him and started playfully strangling him. Camilla pushed him away, laughing. "That's not what he means. Well... That's what he means but a whole week away from our personal lives? Is now really a good time? I mean, we've got quite a lot on our tables." "Now is not a good time," Andrew said. "It's a better time. Don't you guys get it? It's exactly why we have to do it now. With everything that's going on, we need to breathe so we can get our heads cleared and be able to think straight.""I think he's right." Jastrow supported. "Besides, we barely hang out anymore. Everyone's busy making, delivering, or caring for babies. You included, Abby."Abby chuckled and punched his arm slightly. "Why don't you go make babies with your very serious girlfriend?" Camilla asked, arching her slim brows. "Because he's gay." Andrew stated. "But thanks for supporting me, I'll always support th
Romeo let out a soft sigh and nodded his head. "You're right, this wasn't the plan from the start anyways. I'm going to get on it immediately and make sure Jessica leaves first thing tomorrow morning. She should probably rest for the rest of today, she needs it.""No kidding." Rick snorted. Cara took in a deep breath and got to her feet. All eyes were on her, watching her. As they noticed she was walking towards Jessica, they immediately stopped her. "Woah woah--""Relax guys," she said calmly.Jessica visibly flinched, leaning back in her seat, but she kept a firm gaze and met Cara's eyes. She wasn't one to show weakness even in the face of death. Cara stopped in front of Jessica. "I'm going to send someone to pick up Jeremy right away, if he has anything important to take, they'll take it for him, if it's just clothes, they'll leave it and get new ones here. Your money obviously, I'm not a martyr." She gave a roll of her eyes. She continued. "Before sundown, Jeremy will be here,
Cara sat on the sofa with her hands in the middle of her thighs and her back straightened. She held her head up high, she was proud of her actions. Meanwhile, Jessica sat away from her, wincing in pain as Abigail tended to her wounds. "Can't you be any gentle?!" She hissed. "Oh girl, don't make us have our own session right here." Abigail said alongside a soft laugh, cloaking her anger. "It stings!" Jessica exclaimed. "Believe me, my hand will sting even harder." Romeo sat next to his wife and handed her a glass of water. Cara accepted it with a soft and innocent smile and sipped from it. "Are you okay?" Romeo asked her worriedly. "Are you hurt anywhere?" He checked her once again just to be sure. "I'm okay." Cara said, smiling. "She hit me, but it won't leave a mark." "Your knuckles are bruised too." Romeo stated. Cara stared at it for a second but smiled either way. "They're just tiny bruises. They'll disappear before you know it." Romeo let out a soft sigh. "Babe, what h
Just then, a soft knock came on the door before it pushed open. Cara walked into the room and picked up Jessica's phone from the ground. She stared at it for a moment, flipping it over in her hand. The screen had cracked badly but the screen still came on. The lock screen wallpaper was a picture of Jessica and her son. "You heard all of that?" Jessica asked, looking up at Cara. Cara's lips pressed into a thin line as she let out a soft sigh. "I'm sorry--""Don't!" Jessica cut her off sharply, raising her index finger in the air. "Don't even think about it."Cara sighed and walked into the room fully. She closed the door behind herself and walked over towards the small drawer next to Jessica's bed. Placing the phone on it, she rubbed her hands against her thigh. "Jessica, this is my fault." Cara started softly. "If it wasn't for everything that happened, the plan would have been in ignition and the assassin would have probably made a move by now. It's been two days!""Exactly!" Je
Jessica walked back into her bedroom, ignoring the two best friends who were probably gossiping about her. She picked up her phone to check her message from Rockie, still nothing. A sigh drew from her lips. "I can't actually judge her." She thought to herself. "She probably believes I ran off on her, especially since I can't tell her why I'm stuck here. How do I explain that my psychotic ex husband is after me? Knowing Rockie, she'll call the police immediately and that will ruin everything. Besides, no one is to know I'm here."She paused, thinking about it again. If no one was to know she was there, that was actually more scary because they could kill her here and no one would know she ever went to Cara's place. "I mean, they'd think it's impossible for me to go to my ex best friend's place. Am I really safe here?"But the thought of Cara killing her was very close to impossible. She knew Cara well, even though Cara was pretending to be wicked and mean now, she could see through
It had been two days since the accident, Romeo didn't talk about it. He tried to remain the same, waking up early to make his wife breakfast, taking care of their daughter, working on the whole "capture Chris" plan. But Cara saw through everything, she knew he was trying so hard to act indifferent but he was too calm which made it all obvious. She didn't know whether to talk about it or not, but she tried to support him silently. "What do you think I should do?" She asked Abigail as she changed Alice's diaper. "Has he gone to see her?" Abigail asked. Cara shook her head. A sigh drew from Abigail's lips. "He's probably trying to arrange his feelings. He wants to understand his emotions properly before taking any step or saying anything about it. He probably feels a lot of things right now.""Like what?" Cara's brow arched softly. Abigail hugged herself as her lips pressed into a thin line. "Mmm..." She thought for a second. "Regret, anger, sadness, shock, betrayal, there's a lon
Cara woke up with a soft yawn, stretching her arms tiredly. She felt like she needed more sleep, probably the whole day would suffice, but tomorrow was her wedding and she planned to put Chris in his place once and for all today. As expected, Romeo was already up. She was no longer surprised by ho
"Cara Smith, once Cara Knowles, now planning to become Cara Armani. What kind of woman is she? A gold digging b*tch!"Cara Smith grew up in a struggling family whose only asset was a company that could crumble at any moment. The Smith family could not carry their own bills, talk less of paying thei
Romeo felt like he was on a vacation, it had been a while since he got the chance to relax like that. Of course he had to tend to emergency calls from work but apart from that, he felt so loved and welcomed by Cara's entire family. But alas, it came to an end. Just as everything in life does. But
Chris' eyes flickered with evident confusion. Something about his movement made Jessica wish the floor would just open up amd swallow her. "What did you just say?" He repeated his question, taking a bold step towards her. She batted her lashes, anxiety causing her to take a step back. But she tol
