Giancarlo.

I laughed, my first instinct taking over me and swirling me in a hurricane of amusement.

What a ridiculous question to ask. I took my hands to my waist in casual wonderment, releasing Claire from my encompassing hug that might have been suffocative and giving the thought a second of brooding.

"Are you being serious right now?" I said in between fits of laughter, my laughter growing more and more, moving from my chest and making racking sounds in my throat.

I didn't even realize that Claire had joined me in the laughter. It was only when her beautiful laughter matched with mine that I realized happily that she had loosened up.

Together we laughed in harmony, her voice shrill, loud and clear and mine, deep, hoarse and wavy, filling the air and waving all the awkward silence that had fallen on the room after his speech.

No one else was laughing with us, but it didn't matter. It was a good laughing medicine and I would be a fool to let that chance slip by.

  • Married to my Ex-Fiance's Boss   Chapter 141

    Claire.What the heck? My brain sizzled as her retreating behind voluminously shook.How did what she said even connect? How could she just bring that up all of a sudden? The hurt in me shifted to fury, burning through my heart down to my stomach and then to my intestines.Was it to beat guilt into me? The questions in my mind struggled hard with the pain in my heart that was caused by the weight of her words, making my heart feel like it weighed three hundred pounds.Was she aware of what I was going through and how much I was struggling to stand strong? How could she be so unkind with her words? Tears of angrey frustration welled in my eyes, pricking my lashes and making it itchy.I leaned on the wall and buried my hands in my face, letting all the emotions crawl down in tears."You know she wasn't lying though," I heard another voice, hard and confident, and I instantly knew I was damned. I looked up to confirm if it was truly who the voice belonged to and I had no chance to even b

    Claire.Of course I was happy for them. How could I not be? When they were both related to me and had at some point been the only people I relied on. There were times when they had been the angels for me on earth and had fone through thin to make me comfortable. So, we not being on speaking terms again didn't make me love them any less.Among the small crowd, I managed to hide and shield myself from their view, making sure they didn't as much see a whiff of my presence. It wasn't because I was afraid of anything, it was just that it would make every easier for everyone.I wouldn't have to exchange any pleasantries nor give too many congratulations with my mentally chaotic state that reeling my head left and right and making me wish I could dig my hands into my skull and pull out my brain.So in order not to collapse bitterly on the floor, the perfect thing to do was to remain in the audience and in the background, remainimg happy for them while still trying to use their happiness to

    Claire.I didn't know which was worse. Whether the fact that grandpa had immediately come to my rescue and flippantly and unconnectedly switched the topic from forced marriage to a chance to go on a treasure hunt and the fact that Carlo and I were to be on separate teams with our obsessed love interest who were sure to wring out necks out.I and Theodore in one group while Sophia and Carlo were put in a different group. Lorenzo and Elizabeth made it together and Alex and Tory too, giving them a proper honeymoon to look forward to in the forest camp. I didn't even know whether to cry or shout as grandpa quickly read the names, informing us to take my notes of our groupings and adhere strictly to the rules.I couldn't even disagree with him because he had saved my sorry ass from danger and shame. How could I have even explained my self and situation to everyone especially when I too was in the dark.At that time, sleeping with Theodore seemed to be the logical way to punish Carlo when

    Giancarlo."Well, Lorenzo told me that you were in jail that I needed to go bail you out." I said confusedly, wondering what could be going on, my chest thumping with the thought of having been deceived.Could Lorenzo have been wrong? Or was there some sort of mixup somewhere? I wondered, my brain shrinking more and more as I weighed the possibility."I was in jail?" He kept asking in disbelief, looking around at everyone to read their reactions and tapping his feet uncontained on the tiled floor. He smiled and shook his head, raised his eyes to meet mine that was adjacent to him and smiled again, putting his head back down to the floor.“You mean I had recently been to jail?” He chuckled, obviously finding everything too funny to comprehend.“Yeah, kinda. And I don't invent the news. Lorenzo spoke to me about it himself, looking down and accusingly at me. I can't believe he could be wrong.” I shook my head vehemently at everything, looking for confirmation at a confused Claire who

    Giancarlo."Marry who?" My eyes flashed in anger, growing red and painting my vision with blood. My heart pumped much blood with the great amount of oxygen that came from my nostrils, making blood rush fast to all my body parts.With the great rush, some blood flowed to the wrong side in me and I was definitely sure I would have a cardiac arrest and fall and die out of rage."You want Claire to marry this dead man?" I asked, managing to withstand the wave of heart failure and pointing at Theodore.He looked back at me defiantly and felt like biting his head off and chewing it all up. How could they be so unnecessarily selfish? "I want to understand. How do you expect her to get married to someone who's dead already? Does that even make sense to you?" I shouted in great anger, my lips trembling together with their stupidity and my ribcage hurting with the breath that I took in every second.How could grandpa be that insensitive? I wondered frustratingly, my hands remaining still on C

    Claire.At that moment, I felt like I should collapse or something or that there should be an earthquake that could swallow everyone and make me disappear at onceI wouldn't mind if it ended up killing people, as long as it saved me from the hot spot I was suddenly plunged into.My lips remained opened as I had suddenly lost the ability to utter a word. All eyes were placed on me, probably taking note of every detail in my body, analysing each invisible mole and saying hateful words to me in their mind.I began to shiver, my legs joining in the shaking, promising to haul me to the floor where everyone obviously wanted me to if help did not locate me.Sweat of tension, rolled down from my chest to my legs and made my shivers grow worse.But help was already on its way as I didn't have to stand there for long as Carlo had already come to my aide, wrapping his arms around me to console me and whispering something that I couldn't catch in my distressed state."How could you say that about

    Claire.Like what was really wrong with this people? My brain heated and my ribcage tightened as I tried to understand the sorry mess they had put me in.Why was Theodore here? And why was Alex and Tory and Theodore's mom sitting in the sofa like they were about having a family meeting, looking at me like I had stolen their belongings?Why the heck did no one tell me about their coming? Why did they keep me in the dark? The question filled me with so much anger that among the numerous thoughts circling my mind, I wanted to give in to the thought of turning and sending myself back to my room and especially, back to bed.I sighed dejectedly, taking my eyes to the floor, my chest racing fast. It was very unlikely that things would go well if I gave in to the tempting thought. If for anything, it would get worse and I would basically be thrown into the pit of hell.I scanned my brain for a way to get myself back on track, and at least look them in the eyes.So I fell into conclusion that

    Claire.My phone's buzzing sound woke me up from the terrible dream I was having. My head ached in harmony with the violent sound and I groaned in frustration as I weakly stretched my hands to pick the phone.I turned it over to read the caller's name, a curse lingering on my lips. It turned out to be Giancarlo. What was it? Why would he be calling me when he was in the room with me? I wondered tiredly, rolling my eyes at it.But It was then that I noticed how bright the sun had gotten and that Giancarlo had probably woken up and was at God knows where.From the empty balcony and the silence in the bathroom, it was logical to think that he was out.I yawned tiredly, shielding my eyes from the bright light that was fighting with much success to pull sleep out of my eyes and sat up.My headache worsened as the blinding light was becoming a first-class contributor to my aching head that had sworn not to take a break on torturing me.Not wanting to keep my darling waiting, I swiped to an
