ClaireDid I just receive a dirty slap? My breath came in short as the lights dimmed and the spotlight shone on her.Just as elegantly as she had acted before, she turned and swung her waist this way and that while Alex followed her behind.A wildfire of anger spread through me, adding more flames to my cheeks.“This can't be real,” my mind raced as I tried to process the drama that just unfolded.Was this some kind of joke? I stood in silence, seething as their shadow faded away from sight.Could this have happened or was I in some wonderland where heart-rending slaps were given as late-hour dinner?My brain throbbed in heaviness.I reverted my red eyes to where the receptionist sat. She was still engrossed in her work."Are you alright?" A voice startled me.I took my hands down and my fist clenched and trembled with rage.Sophia slapped me? The light, feathery steps drew near to me and rounded his hands on my neck, weighing in on my short frame.His cologne drove straight to my te

Giancarlo I could barely breathe from the compression in my chest. Alex? He dared to lift his hands on my woman? My eyes double-crossed on things. My view was bloody and if something did not happen quickly, I would make it happen.I flew the stairs not bothering to use the elevator which was going to calculate its step.I had no time to let anything decide for me. Alex? I muttered the question under my breath as I replayed Claire's voice in my head.Alex, who was nothing more than a rat, dared to lay his hands on my fiancee? To slap and leave prints?It sounded like some overcooked balderdash. Where could he have gotten such bravery?Anger washed through me, consuming every rational thought in its path. I struggled to contain it but it blew through my brain, making my breath ragged.Still tossing the name in my head, I completed my descent. Where was his room? I scanned the reception area, searching for just a glimpse of him."Just a glimpse would do,” my heart tossed in fury.My

Giancarlo"I want to believe you're pulling my legs," I whispered, my stomach churning."I'm not. He just called to tell me that he's on his way to the Maldives," Enzo said, pocketing his phone and giving me the what-are-you-going-to-do-look. "I don't know," I replied and turned the door knob. I was already drained. It would do much good if I was just given enough time to tend to Clara's wounds. "Just help him lodge successfully and keep me updated.” I said weakly ."And," I continued, pressing my eyelids tight. "Don't let Grandpa hear about what I did. Don't let the news stay more than an hour”Fear gnawed in my throat. Why did he have to come?"It's 1: 35pm," Enzo said."What was he thinking about flying this late?" I wondered out loud, trying to muster as much calm as I could.My head banged in frustration and my feet could no longer hold me."He probably used the jet. What should I do for you?" He asked gently, his eyes as gray as a cloudy sky."Help me," the words slid as weak a

ClaireJust to clear my head, I had gone out for an early morning swim in preparation for the war.I needed to renew my self-control by making it as waterproof as possible. Swimming was the best therapeutic exercise for me. The only way I could escape everything and prepare for anything.I dipped myself into the water, basking in its chilly glory. My heartbeat slowed to a calm pace while my blood boiled with a strange feeling of enthrallment, filling my nostrils with air.My thoughts trailed back to the reply I had given Carlo. It was the wrong answer but the right name to mention.Alex had been bugging me a lot. It was high time he backed down and at least took Tory seriously. It wasn't fair for either of us.The image of the smirk on his face when Sophia had laid her hands on me, still filled my heart with dread. And whenever I thought back to his betrayal, I had to remind myself to take in some breaths so that my heart would not stop.Still relaxing at the bottom of the water, hop

Giancarlo"Oops," Sophia's voice sizzled through the room. "I should get going. We have to prepare to talk business shouldn't we?" She pulled herself up, arranged her skimpy gown and walked out the door.I was bristling with anger, sick and ready to die. How best was I going to explain myself? The scenario was crafted beautifully enough to be believable that without concrete evidence, the case couldn't be won in court.Even with the best lawyers, I didn't think there was a way to pull out of the tunnel of mess.My phone rang and I cringed at the caller. "Grandpa Ettore? What did he want? Of all times to call?" The questions flowed through me, stifling me.I felt my brain shift from its position. Dramas just couldn't end, could they?"Good morning, Grandpa," I folded my anger into a ball of waiting happiness. Grandpa must know nothing about my mood."And what could ever be good about the morning?" His aged voice boomed the speaker and bit my ears into pieces. I drew the phone away fro

ClaireListening to Mr. Grayson's speech was equivalent to listening to a goat bleat. All the qualities he listed about Carlo, spurned my mood.They oozed hatred and jealousy. Calling Carlo a rapist? Sure Carlo was many things. But a rapist was not one of them.The more he spoke, the more I realized my mistake. I was seeing Carlo more as an angel than the devil Mr. Grayson was painting.He kept reiterating and using the words "flirt, always horny, and a woman beater" but I could accept them. It just didn't fit.Plus he didn't spill the words with concrete explanations. His vocal evidence was not strong enough to keep a stone rolling."You should stay away from him," he leaned forward, cocking his head a bit to the left. "Are you aware that his mother died because of him?" An air of superiority engulfed him. His shoulder puffed higher.I nodded in an offhanded acceptance. What he was saying was hanging over my nose, never penetrating nor leaving.He continued, pulling his expensive jac

Giancarlo "Did something happen?" I voiced out my nagging thoughts, casting a glance at Theodore who returned the favor with a machete-gaze.There was a time when I once loved him like a brother. But sadly, the love had evaporated quickly. Why? Because I had loved him too much and placed all my trust in him.The betrayal had hit harder because he was the closest to my heart. Him not believing me and joining the multitude to torment me was dagger-stab painful.If I had been told that my best friend would become my archenemy in the future, I wouldn't have accepted the ideology.Scaring the hurtful bullying from high school away from my memory, I caressed Claire's hair. I'd missed the texture even when it wasn't up to hours since we parted. It was so warm to feel."Did he say something?" My companion stirred. Anger had not failed to stand by me through the few hours of my existence on the Maldives island. "Well, some rubbish that made no sense," the reply came satisfyingly, putting to

Claire"There comes the power couple," Mr. Grayson's mocking venom slithered the audience as all eyes moved to grace our entrance.I pushed on my award-winning smile, happy with the contortion on his face. Did he think I was going to break it off with Carlo? How could I? When Carlo's cock, just as marvelous as his face, was a free train ride to heaven.Sophia's eyes reddened to the color of Tory's cherry dress. Did she also think her little child's play would break us? My smile widened as I watched her grow restless with Carlo's closeness to me.My confidence grew as Carlo placed his hands on my waist, patting it lovingly.I turned to give his angelic face a couple of appreciative smiles. No man has ever made me feel so good.For once, I was thankful to Alex for cheating on me and providing me with the opportunity to open better doors."Sorry, we're late," I began with a happy apology. "Some beyond-our-control scenes popped up," Lorenzo gave us a knowing smile and I nodded back."In

Claire.I woke to a strange toxic gas smell, making my nose get peppery and itching my skin. My nose itched with it too, dragging the hairs in my nose violently. My ears confirmed that something was wrong as there were sharp gasp for breathing, sounding in the roomMy eyes had to haul themselves open to find out what it was. I opened my eyes slowly and tiredly, my head banging with the promise of a bad occurrence and my heart getting foggy in fear.Another sound graced my opened ears. It was a thudding sound that sounded exactly like the fall of a giant and another thudding that could not be mistaken for anything but a footstep. I lifted myself upwards into a sitting position, blood rushing fast in all my body and my mind tattered with savage fear that moved electrically through all corners of my mind.My body began to shake violently and the environment, threatening to spin as I caught the mask appearance of a man and another sprawled figure on the floor. I immediately looked to my

Giancarlo.I widened both my eyes and my mouth as i stared doubtfully at her, heart pounding hard and hands shaking with the mere thought of everything.Could Claire truly do this to me? My heart raced and my blood pressure plummeted as I tried to understand the scenario, mind feeling like it was encircled in a spiky hammer and lips feeling very hot from the burning look in her eyes.Her eyes burnt ever so harshly, furnace of hate and resentment glowing so hard that the blood that bubbled in my mouth had to even still in fear with her fiery eyes.Nothing seemed to make sense, everything was just moving in a zig-zag fashion that it was extremely difficult to track it down.How could she do this to me? I wondered hurtfully. Could this really be her? The thought was icy in my head, sizzling with the fire burning inside me.As if in reply to my mountainous question, her appearance began to change. First, her lips; soft and succulent, were transformed into a darker and more manly lips purs

Giancarlo.I looked intently at the liquid, more in pondering than in horror, the veins in my head popping in and out in worry.With my banging head, it was hard to make connections properly especially when Claire was not even around to make things clearer. Or was she? The idea suddenly popped into my mind as I remembered the balcony, hands moving away from the liquid for a moment and look out to the chairs at the balcony.She could be there and waiting patiently for my return or probably receiving some fresh vegetation air.I moved with slow, unsteady steps towards the balcony, eyes checking backwards to reconfirm that the fading red dot from my eyesight was blood, and head thumping hollowly, feeling as empty as a useless milktin.Even when my tired mind thought that it was blood, I was still too confused to understand the enormosity of everything and make quick moves to a health practitioner.So I lazily walked up to her, like nothin

Giancarlo.I didn't even know what put me to sleep nor how long I had slept. But I certainly did know what brutally hauled me awake, panting like a dog and eyes widened like a pussy. My ears were not even spared from the brutality as my shrieking phone was literally shouting painful waves into my newly awakened senses, circulating pains into my upper body and making me wish there was a way I could just die at once. Its loudness was no doubt the source of my awakening as it continued on tiredlessly proudly teaching me a lesson I was certain to never forget.I looked around, head banging in confusion, hands finding trouble feeling, legs feeling more like there were two planks of wood lying peacefully on them.I was still looking around trying to put two and two together and maybe find an explanation why I was just so confused.Aside from the violently ringing phone that was threatening to rip my head and ears off and plunge it into the vegetations across the balcony, I found it diffic

Giancarlo.Suddenly, everywhere grew hot and suffocating, my chest beating faster than a talking drum and forehead throbbing hard. I tried to think of a time I had actually helped Lorenzo out with something, but surprisingly my mind sang nothing back.I shook my head sharply in disappointment, continuously hoping for just one scenario to surface and save my friendship and brotherhood.My brain was blank and suffering much with the hard exertion, my eyes growing blurry from the many colorful stars that appeared before them and fingers hardening from too much clenching and unclenching.Was there truly no time that I had gone through thick and thin for him? I brooded helplessly, guilt and hurt fighting for a room in my already tired and weak heart and my stomach churning with a promise of a successful nausea.I racked my brain harder, his glare growing more intense, burning through my self-control and leaving me nakedly exposed to his perfect judgement.The result from my intensively ra

Giancarlo.Since when? My pulse pounded hard, throat feeling as dry as charcoal and heart slicing the words into dices of anger and surprise.Was he perchance kidding me? My mind rotated in horrifying surprise, and my eyes dilated as I looked to the floor for answers.How could I have been so blind to not have noticed anything? I wondered deeply, hands moving to my chin in perfect posture.But then, he had barely shown anything to me and Elizabeth had not even been around.Or was she around all the while? Numerous thoughts ran through my mind as his words sunk deep into me, feeling very unwelcomed in my brain."Since when?" I managed to ask calmly, the warring thoughts in my head, buried suppressingly by my self-control but still struggling to raise the rock pressing it down.He turned to look at Claire who had frozen on her track while trying to head to the bathroom and smiled."It's been three weeks now," he replied in a calm tone too, hands clenching by his sides and eyes looking e

Giancarlo.Claire reeled forward almost falling, hands running fast to her knees to act as a tripod stand.I quickly held her back, aching with her from her sisters banging words. Perspiration dropped like trickles of rain down to my legs, feeling more cold than hot as she seemed to wish to haul herself violently to the floor.While I didn't see anything wrong with her, stating her view and turning the table on her mom, Elizabeth certainly saw a thousand things wrong with it and had not hesitated to set the matter straight.Claire began to gasp for breath by my side, falling a little forward to get more air and hands slipping and almost sending her to my the ground.Just as I held her back, she began to cough violently, tears streaming down her eyes and shoulder rising and falling in unison with her chest."Calm down, she'll come around," I tried to reassure her, pulling her up and closer to my chest and welcoming the vanilla scent from her hair. “Don't let her words get much to you.

Claire.I watched as his expression dropped from shock to horror, eyes widening more than they should and lips parted wide.It was seriously embarrassing to think that they had never connected things that far and that a civilian like me was the one rather blessed with the brains to dissolve the case.My heart thumped with a brief moment of joy as surprised danced in their expression, eyes mirroring their lost war and my victorious win.I had managed to change the situation into something useful, hadn't I? I smiled to myself, deep enough that it displayed itself on my face."Uhhm... I think we need to go," the man stuttered embarrassedly, face turning crimson and hands quickly pushing the phone back into his pocket.The lady tried not to meet my eyes and just followed behind in a rush, eyes somewhat bowed and focusing more on her shoes.Were cops supposed to behave like that? I wondered amusingly as they left with their battered pride.I smiled to myself again, giving myself a heartfel

Claire."I don't know, Claire. It seems you're complicating things," the female police seemed to be speaking through her nose as she had suddenly forgotten all formalities and allowed her rage, permanently sit on the surface. I almost burst in laughter with her squeezed red face that looked like she had just received a surprise triple punch on it."Does it really seem like it?" I teased, glowering as her face contorted the more, eyes shooting sharp swords at me and lips forming with a promise of a battering insult.The male cop shot her a calm but commanding glare that sent the insult in her lips back to the pit where they came from and helped fix her shitty face into an emotionless one."I think I've explained it in the best layman terms that exist. If it seems complicated to you, maybe, just maybe it's difficult for you comprehend, not that what I said is complicated," I concluded sweetly, all smiles and little regret dancing melodiously in my heart.Carlo moved into the picture, w
