The rest of the meal was downed in silence. Miranda prepared a lunch box filled with chocolate snacks for Romeo.

"Thank you so much for having me over, Mr and Mrs Smith." Romeo thanked them. "I hope I didn't ruin the mood by telling you Cara and I are just friends?" The look on his face had a hint of guilt.

"Oh of course not!" Miranda expressed joyously. "You simply told us the truth. Sure I was hurt because you are such a fine young man who is also very intelligent and caring, your kind rarely

  • His Greatest Regret    At the therapist

    Cara felt her heart beating heavily in her chest, she didn't like the feeling of being there. She was okay, she knew she was fine. But everyone had insisted on the same thing, she received therapy for her PTSD which she was very sure she knew she didn't have. "Mrs Armani," a lady's soft voice called out to her. "Please, I want you to relax here. This room, it's a safe space." She explained. Cara smiled at her. Forced and obviously fake. The lady smiled. She looked like she would be in her early thirties. Her hair was brunette except it had more blonde to it, making it look like a mix of blonde with brown highlights. She was putting on a soft baby blue sweater with a pair of black office pants and black red bottom high heels. She sat crossed legged opposite Cara with a checklist clipboard laying on her lap. Her nails glittered softly, a blue to match her sweater. There was barely any make up on her face, she was naturally beautiful. Her beautiful blue eyes were soft and accom

  • His Greatest Regret    A changed Jessica

    "Jessica..." Giovanni called her name softly. "Listen, you don't get to judge me okay?" She suddenly snapped. "Look, I don't know what kind of nonsense is going on in your head but we only had a one night stand. We're never meant to see each other again, that's how it freaking works! "Didn't anybody teach you about one night stands? Was it your first? What makes you think showing up at my front door is okay and reminding me about the night we fucked?!"She looked visibly exhausted by his presence. Giovanni could see it all in her responses and her eyes. But he couldn't help the feeling that she was in greater danger with the new people she was living with.He decided to address that later. "Listen," he said calmly. "I know what you think but I am not in love with you. Okay? It's just, after that day when I found out that you were married, I wanted to know why you did something like that with me and why you did it like it meant something special to you."She grunted and rubbed her

  • His Greatest Regret    The August visitor

    Giovanni stood outside the house, staring at the woman he had almost crossed the entire world looking for. Her brown eyes didn't seem to shine as bright as it did when last he'd seen her. Her young face seemed to have taken on an older look probably from days of crying and regrets. Giovanni could only think of one explanation, looking at her beauty looking dull. She was just recovering from all the sadness and regrets and sleepless nights she had had to battle with after being saved from Cara, her enemy nonetheless. Jessica's eyes widened in disbelief. She'd recognize those bright blue eyes anywhere. "Giovanni?""You remember me?" Giovanni asked, a slight smile curving on his lips. "How could I not? What are you doing here?-- how are you even here?!" She asked, stepping out from behind the door while tugging a strand of hair behind her ear. Bright blonde, a new shade, Giovanni thought. It suited her regardless. Her body looked slimmer than before, covered in a pair of faded blu

  • His Greatest Regret    Postpartum Anxiety

    "PTSD?!" Miranda exclaimed. "Oh dear!" "Calm down Miranda," Abigail said. "I promise you that she's not beyond saving. She's alright. I mean it. It's not too serious.""She was crying uncontrollably, obviously kidnapped by anxiety and you say it's not too serious?" Romeo's voice was stern as he spoke. Abigail swallowed. Looking at him now, it reminded her of the reason he was Romeo Armani. A mini god. She cleared her throat softly. "Something happened, I hadn't realized she had PTSD so I-- we indulged in a conversation that triggered it. It was my mistake, I should have dismissed the talk.""What did you talk about?" Romeo asked almost instantly. There was nothing hostile to his voice, but it reminded her of when she was being reprimanded by her father. He never hit her, but the calmness in his tone was what scared her the most. "We uhm... We talked about the night she was attacked. That was what triggered it. She still feels like the man is standing behind her and she-- from t

  • His Greatest Regret    PTSD

    Cara flinched as the door closed from the living room, a gasp escaped her mouth. "Hey relax." Abigail said, trying to calm her friend down. "It's just Joshua." "Joshua?" Cara asked, wondering what her brother was doing at her place. He hadn't really come over in a while, his wife had also had a baby and he was busy taking care of them. Miranda also went and came too. Tori as well. She rose from her seat but almost collapsed to the floor. Abigail had to rush and hold her, letting her put all her weight on her. "Hey, it's okay. You're alright, I've got you." Abigail said comfortingly. "Cara!" Joshua exclaimed as he rushed towards them. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the living room sofa. Cries suddenly came from upstairs, Alice had woken up and immediately broke out in tears. Cara felt her heart skip a beat. She wriggled in her brother's arms. "Let me down! My baby! She's crying, something is wrong! I need to get her!" "Hey, hey calm down." Joshua tried to h

  • His Greatest Regret    Who's not done with her?

    Cara rocked her baby to sleep after making sure she was well fed. It was already past noon and she was yet to have breakfast. She felt so disorganized. "Alice is just three months old and I'm already losing my mind." She ran her fingers through her hair. "Was it always this hard? Nobody told me it was going to be this hard."Abigail chuckled softly. "I can't wait for Alice to get older so she can drive you even more crazy like my son does. Trust me, once they start yapping and walking, you'd be wishing you were back to this stage where all they knew was food, burp, shit, and sleep."Cara whimpered softly. "Come on darl, let's get you something to eat." Abigail placed her hand around her waist and led her downstairs. At the kitchen counter, Abigail leisurely peeled an apple for Cara while Cara sat quietly, staring-- apparently at the fruit basket-- but obviously at nothing. Abigail tried to make small talks but Cara simply gave absent minded responses. Noticing this, Abigail knock

  • His Greatest Regret    Unwanted Convo

    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

    Jessica sat comfortably on the bed and looked up at her husband. She suddenly broke out in a laugh that had Chris wondering what was so funny. A single tear drop trailed down her face and she wiped it away with her index finger. A soft sigh drew from her mouth and she felt a sense of relief wash o
