Giancarlo “You still haven't answered my question.” Enzo's voice series into my ears, bringing me back to the warm glow of my office. “What question?” I asked, clearing my throat to get a hold of myself. There was no way I was thinking that. “What do you intend to do about your sudden engagement? It's not just you, Claire and the public in play. Your grandfather is also now in play, and he takes the top of the chart.” He's right, and I didn't know what to do. I had taken a line out of Claire's playbook and impulsively told my grandfather we were going to get married.“I'll think of something. Bring up some kind of drama to call off the engagement, something my grandfather would believe.” His gaze slipped away for a few seconds as though he was in deep thoughts before he nodded his head in agreement. “I hope you're going to be fast on that.” Lifting my weight off the sofa, I made my way back to my desk. As much as I had a crisis on my hands, I had work to do. “For now, I need t

ClaireI stared at the screen of my phone as it continued to vibrate violently in my hand, the sound of the ringtone reverberating through the walls of the house. “Oh God! What do I do?” I panicked, biting harder on my bottom lips. I thought of what to tell them, come up with a lie or something, but I came up blank.“Give me let me talk to them.” Giancarlo suggested, stretching his hand forward to take my phone, but I took a step back.“No, you can't.” The phone stopped ringing and I knew we all had the same thing on our minds. They were eventually going to call again. And just on cue, the phone started ringing again. “Well, you have to pick that.” Enzo said in a calm voice. I nodded my head and let out a breath before swiping my finger across the screen. “Hey mum.” I squeaked, trying to keep my nerves from wrecking my voice. “Where the hell did you keep your phone? We've been ringing the doorbell for minutes and you're not opening up. We're all tired from the long flight, you k

“You can't be serious about that.” I stared at my parents, my chest tightening with disbelief. My father sat, staring at me with a daring gaze, challenging me to say otherwise. My mother was just being my mother as usual and the snide look on her face made me more angrier.As promised, when they woke up this morning, Giancarlo was the first name they uttered and now they want a family dinner to get to know “my fiancé’s” family.“First of all, you don't tell me you are flying down here and now I'm supposed to arrange a dinner with Giancarlo and his grandfather for tomorrow night? Be real, mum.” “Having dinner with them doesn't sound bad. We never knew you guys were together, that's just the perfect medium to get to know them.” Eliza said, her voice as calm and cool as ever. “Really? You too? What– don't I have a say in this?”“You don’t have a say in this, Clarissa. We're going to have dinner with this family and get to meet them,” my father said, his tone cold and final.God how co

Giancarlo“It's so nice to finally have you around, Mr Caruso.”Claire's mother's voice came out in a rather pleasant home, a wide smile plastered to her face. Like Claire, she had auborn hair and a very pretty face. Her face makes her look you get than her age.“Please, call me Giancarlo.” I returned the friendliness, a bit uncomfortable with the formal name.“Well then, Giancarlo.”Like planned, we were having a family dinner in Claire's apartment. My grandad willingly agreed to it with no hassle, he had even volunteered to bring Enzo and I here.My eyes darts towards Claire's sister, Elizabeth, like they had introduced her. She was the very quiet type with sleek brunette hair and green eyes, brighter than Claire's. I had a feeling this was not the first time I was seeing her.“You have beautiful daughters, might I say.” My grandfather spoke, s

ClaireA lot of things have happened tonight, but Eliza speaking to Giancarlo in that tone was not one I expected. The whole table turned towards her, completely shocked by her outbursts.“Excuse me?” Giancarlo was just as shocked as everybody, too shocked to think of proper words to say.“You heard me, you are not going anywhere with my sister.”“Eliza…” I tried to talk to her, but my father beat me to it.“Elizabeth, what's wrong? Why would you say something like that to your sister's fiancé?”Yeah right, fiancé indeed…“Dad, it just doesn't make sense to me. Don't you smell anything fishy? Even Claire and his best friend here didn't know the trip was happening?”Her voice was calm and collected, a complete contrast to what mine would've been was I in her shoes.L“The trip is alr

“May I join you ladies.”Penelope and I darted our gaze towards the owner of the voice and a smile crept up my face.“Enzo! Fancy seeing you here. Of course you can join us.”“Hi.” He threw a light greeting towards Penelope, but she was too stuck staring at him to breathe a response. I almost laughed at her behaviour, but I didn't want to give her away.“Looking beautiful as always, Claire.”“Oh please, don't flatter me.”I blushed slightly, laughing gently to cover up the blush.“I don't flatter, I state facts. I'm sure your friend would agree with me.”He turned his gaze to Penny and she blurted out the first words that came to her mouth.“Oh yes, yes, horses can fly. I totally agree with you?”“Penny!” I called in an embarrassing tone, and she snapped out

I couldn't exactly tell how long it was. A few days? Weeks? All I knew was that it wasn't up to months since I started living with Giancarlo.Since the last fight with them, my parents haven't even tried to put effort into our relationship, which kind of just gave me a solid ground on the fact that I might not be their daughter.I resumed work as usual and though a few times Giancarlo tried to make me quit, but I was solid on my ground. Though we acted like a sweet couple in public or in front of his grandfather.“Ughh….. that bright colour again. Your tastes for weird colours make you look childish.”I turned at the sound of Giancarlo's voice, almost dropping the plate in my head. Rolling my eyes, I set my eyes back to the table. Lately, he's been getting on the tips of my nerves. If it wasn't my choice of colours, it was my choice of clothing, or the way I do things.“It's not my faul

GiancarloThe colour riot silk scarf she had around her neck with the bright green blazers she had on was the first thing that caught my attention.“Ohhh what a beautiful scarf you have on. I didn't see you this morning, would've given you my compliments.” I said, the side of my lips tugging up in a smile. She glared at me but rolled her eyes without giving me a response.“Now's not the time to be sarcastic.” Enzo chided, a little bit too serious.“What's all this about, Enzo? Is the world coming to an end?”“Close to it.”“What's wrong? What's going on? Is it something about me?” Claire asked. You could see the nerves swimming in her eyes.“You might want to sit down to hear it.”We all sat down on the sofa. Enzo and Claire in one while I sat on the one opposite of theirs.“I think your g

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

Claire.All attention was on me, the gasps strong enough to fall like a gentle breeze on my warm cheeks and the stares feeling like hot flames on my skin and scalding some part of me.I could especially feel a burning stare from the female cop, hot and consuming, spanning as long as a lifetime and carrying with it other hot emotions that weren't far from hatred and contempt.Was she annoyed already? I smiled to myself, feeling like a queen in a beautiful castle and the hard glares at me loosing their intensity on me.Why was she angry?I thought. I hadn't said anything yet and she was already burning? I wondered in amusement, feeling more confidence swimming under my skin."Are you aware that you just verbally abused us?" Her voice was icy with fury, voice trembling and her hands clenching by her side. Her chattering teeth was grinding loud enough that it could even be heard amidst her sharp inhales and exhales and her creased foreheads develop an extra line of rage and her eyebrows s

Claire.I was sure the arteries and everything connected to my heart had been unplugged and carelessly flung to the floor with wickedness, darkening in fear as the fell helplessly to the ground.I opened my mouth to breathe but no air seemed to enter. Instead they just bathe my heated nose and teased the hairs in my nose with the promise of entry. My senses reeled with the situation, fear stringing itself into my blood and transferring its power to different parts of my body, making me dizzy with trepidation.They were here! Here for me!! The painful thought sat like an indigested meal in my stomach, refusing to travel much to any other place in my body.At last there was nowhere I could run to, no place to hide, nothing to do. I was to face and dance to that music which I certainly had not budgeted nor planned for.I paced the floor, panic wrapped around me like a cloak and Elizabeth looking at me with shocking, judgemental eyes.Her lawyer gaze was already registering me as a suspe
