Mag-log inCara paced around in the living room, chewing tirelessly on her finger. "Hey baby, let's calm down." Romeo said softly, not physically stopping her pacing moment but also not being able to stand and do nothing. "Nobody is telling me what's going on and you don't want me to leave." Jessica said furiously. "If nobody talks, I'm walking out that door and if you refuse, I'm calling the cops because this is kidnapping.""Please calm down." Romeo's tone was soft. "Just..." He sighed softly, "give her a moment." Jessica smiled and nodded her head. Romeo was so gentle, for a moment, she had actually forgotten that so much more glowed about him apart from his emerald magical eyes. His personality was a gem itself. Always so gentle with women, even her that she knew he hated her guts. She remembered the way he stood up for her the day Chris had hit her publicly. The way he protected her like she actually mattered to him. It was enough to guess the kind of personality he had and one thing
Cara stared at the woman sitting before her, her words echoed in her ear once again, she wanted to move back to the city. Her brow twitched softly. "Okay? Why did you think I would need to know that?""Because..." She sighed softly. "Because Cara, you were the one who helped me out of the city. You gave me a place to live, you kept me and my son alive. I owe it to you to let you know when I'm going to be back in the city."Cara felt a little touched by those words. She scoffed. "So the great Jessica Knowles knows how to be grateful. That's a first.""It's not." Jessica said almost immediately. "I've been grateful to you since the day you picked up my call and accepted to help me escape. I was grateful to you all those times I was in that town, I was grateful to you for the good people I met over there. "I owe it all to you and I am not blinded by my ego to know that. I just don't think my son and I belong there, we belong in the city, where we once were thriving, I want a good life
Cara's brow shot up almost immediately as she heard those words leave her husband's lips. "What?" She asked, knowing well that she had heard him correctly but didn't believe she had heard him correctly. "What did you just say? Who's here?" She asked again. Romeo let out a soft sigh. "I can ask the security to turn her away if you don't want to see her, I know that it must be too hard for you at this moment--""No no," Cara said, cutting him off. "She came all the way, let's hear her out. But just be on stand by in case she tries anything stupid. Please. We still don't know who hired an assassin to hurt our child." "Of course." Romeo stepped forward towards her immediately and wrapped his arms around her. "I'm going to protect you with all that I have and I will never look away from you for one second." His voice was soft and tender. He reached up to her face, tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, and cupped her cheeks. Cara felt so warm and a little bit calmer inside. Tha
Cara had spent the whole day being productive. She slept, woke up, ate, and slept. Very much productive to her. Romeo was meant to be on a business trip for one month, so he had that month to stay at home, work free, and do what he loved doing best. Taking care of his family. The night was still very much young, but Alice had already fallen asleep-- thanks to Romeo keeping her well fed and clean all day-- dinner had been made, and everything was in place. After dinner, she sat in the living room, head on her husband's shoulder, and snacked on some popcorn while enjoying the movie they were watching. "Is the movie good?" Romeo asked her. She nodded her head. "Yeah, I love it.""I don't understand it." He confessed. She raised her head to meet his gaze and a soft laugh escaped her mouth. "What?" "I don't." "How do you not understand it? You're Romeo Armani! You understand everything. You're a perfect human being." She asked, still laughing. "Oh that is a total lie, definitely
Jessica went to the bathroom alone, feeling sticky all over. Like she always did after playing lesbian with Rockie, she soaked up in the bathtub for thirty minutes. Rockie knew this ritual and never once tried to break it. She knew to give her the space she needed. A lot ran through Jessica's mind as she lay in the bathtub, only her head popping out. She was tired. It took her one visit from Giovanni for her to realize this. She didn't want to continue living the life she was living. Close to a year now, she had laid her body down for different men, even women! To do her as they wished just to get money to survive. But that was the problem. At first, it was for survival, but what was it for now? She was sure she had millions already breathing in her account. Big shots came into the quiet town to find a pretty lady to sleep with while spending millions. She's earned a lot. Why not go back to the city? She wasn't a wanted criminal. Sure people would talk, they would call her na
"Babe, could you pass me the socks under the pillow next to you?" "Babe?" Rockie called out again, apparently Jessica hadn't heard her the first time. Jessica blinked. "Huh?" She turned her head towards Rockie, staring at the woman's outstretched hand. "What..?" "Socks?" "Oh yeah! Socks... Uhm... Socks?" Jessica's brown eyes squinted softly. "What... Socks?" She asked, confusion written all over her face. "The ones right next to you?! Right under the pillow." Rockie was a little pissed. "Oh right!" Jessica immediately dug out the socks from underneath the pillow and handed it to her. "Here you go."Rockie stared at her with concern and slight anger. She accepted the socks and put them on her one year old's feet. Once she was done dressing the little girl, she left her to play with Jeremy, Jessica's son, then she went to join Jessica on the sofa. "Babe, what's going on with you?"Jessica stared confusedly at her. "What do you mean?" She shrugged her shoulders leisurely. "You've
Cara despised pettiness, so she despised herself for what she did next. "Remember, Jessica, that bug could still be around here." She hinted at Jessica's ugly secret. Jessica knew what she was saying and fell quiet. She clenched her fist in anger. Cara continued. "If it pleases you that I leave t
Jessica had made up her mind, she was more than ready to sleep with the handsome man that was standing right in front of her, opening the door to his hotel room. Thankfully, he would not be able to tell that she was a married woman due to the fact that she had hid her wedding ring.She was young a
As Jessica noticed that they were all walking towards her, she rose to her feet and tried to act as composed as ever. "So...?"Cara wanted to roll her eyes, knowing well that Jessica was acting like she was not worried of the situation. Romeo could discard her right away if he wanted to, Jessica ou
She stood there silent for a moment, letting herself take several calming breaths before finally finding the strength to walk back into the living room. Forcing a smile to her face, she sat back down on her seat, smoothening her dress and trying to hide her discomfort. "So," Tori was the first to
