LOGINThe next few days went by smoothly, Cara didn't feel so insecure anymore. Even when she walked in on him on the phone with Vicky, she simply kissed him on the cheek and laid down on his lap.It was finally time for Vicky's party and surprisingly, Cara was actually looking forward to it.She would get to see all her friends again-- Romeo's friends-- and even leave the house while putting on a pretty dress.Romeo stepped into the walk-in closet of their bedroom and froze by the door, his lips softly parted as he stared at the woman standing before him.He felt like his heart had found a whole new rhythm to beat, something that made him feel like his life was starting all over again.Something indescribably... Good.Cara turned towards him and a soft smile formed on her lips. "What do you think?" She spread her arms and gave him a little spin so he could see all the corners of the dress.His emerald eyes shone with love, love that he didn't even know was there.He loved his wife with all
Cara stared at the ringing phone for a moment and her eyes traveled up to her husband's unshaken expression as he noticed the name on the screen.Wordlessly, he flipped the phone over and picked up his fork to eat."Who's that?" Tori asked."Vicky." He said without a single change in his expression.Tori gasped. "You're gonna let it just ring like that? Answer it, it would be rude of you not to answer her call, after all, she's making you a VIP at her party. Maybe she has something to report.""Not at the table mom. We'll talk later." His voice was calm but his tone made it known that there was no room for argument or further discussion."Oh..." Tori turned to look at Cara who was now fiddling with her fork wordlessly. She chuckled softly, almost nervously. "Ah! Of course! Where are my manners."Romeo simply smiled.Cara kept her gaze on her meal, not wanting to meet her husband's gaze, but she couldn't raise another fork to her mouth.She couldn't believe that there was going to be a
Cara stared at her friend with sympathy. She knew Abigail didn't like talking about how her husband hurt her, who would to be honest? But just to shine a brighter light into the situation, she spoke of her pain. She too could relate to losing someone she loved, after all, her husband had left her for none other than her best friend. If that wasn't pure pain then she didn't know what was. She placed her hand on Abigail's and squeezed it softly. Abigail couldn't help but to chuckle softly. “Who is comforting who?” She asked and Cara chuckled. “We're here for each other and you know that.” Cara said with a soft smile on her face. Abigail nodded her head, a gentle sad smile dangling on her lips. She continued. “So darling, I need you to trust him on this. Leave the choice to him, I know how much you love him and how much he loves you too but forgive me for saying this, if he leaves, then it was never meant to be.” Cara nodded her head, her friend was right, she knew it all along thou
“Did you hear? The hitman, your friend's ex boyfriend right? He's been sentenced to twenty years in prison.” Romeo said to Cara. He waited for a response but didn't get any. When he stared closely at her, he realised that she was there but her mind was elsewhere. He placed a hand on hers as he called her name softly. “Cara?”She flinched. “Huh? Oh… sorry. I don't– my mind was elsewhere. What were you saying?” Her brow arched as she asked him. “I was talking about your friend's ex boyfriend. He has been sentenced to twenty years.” He repeated. “Oh wow! That's… that's amazing! Now my mind can be at peace. All this while I was worried that he could be released or something.” She let out a soft breath. Romeo could tell that someone was bothering her. He took her hand in his and caressed it. “What's bothering you?” He asked in a soft and melodic tone. “What makes you think I'm bothered by something?” She asked him, her thin brow arching. He stared at her, knowing well that to him, s
Romeo was suddenly distorted, it wasn't that he missed her, but hearing her name had altered the proper functioning of his system. But only for a second. Cara arched her brow at him, wondering what was wrong. He shook his head in response, forcing his lips into a slight smile. “Okay,” he said in response to Andrew. “I don't see why it matters to me though.” Andrew peered out of the kitchen of his apartment and glanced at the sophisticated woman sipping from her cup of tea with the grace of a queen. “It matters dude! It f*cking matters because she's sitting in my fr*aking apartment, sipping on my fr*aking tea like a fr*aking queen!” “Dude.” Romeo said. “Sorry, I'm fr*aking out.” Andrew confessed. A low sigh drew from his lips. “What do I do man?” “Wait, how is she in your house? We hadn't even met each other when…” he paused, staring at Cara. Cara just stood there with a smile on her face, waiting for him to end the call. Noticing the pause, Andrew asked. “Is Cara with you?” “
Cara turned to the side with a soft grumble. She felt like she was going to throw up. Sitting up in bed, she wondered why she was feeling that way when she didn't even have alcohol. She wanted to call it morning sickness, but she wasn't sure if it usually happened at midnight sometimes too. Rubbing her weary eyes, she turned to look at Romeo. His chest rose and fell softly, a rhythm that always helped put her at ease. But she still wasn't feeling too good. She didn't want to wake him because his health mattered so much to her and he needed his rest. Managing to climb out of bed, she went into the bathroom and took a shower, hoping to calm herself. Was she hot? Was she cold? Her body was confused. “What the fuck…” she muttered as she returned to the bedroom. She couldn't even throw up. A sigh escaped her lips. “Didn't Abigail tell me these symptoms would stop by the time I'm in my second trimester?” She slid back under the blanket, managing not to wake Romeo up. Turning and tossi
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

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.
