Giancarlo

Playmate? I was bewildered. Surely, something must be wrong somewhere. How could she—playmate? Like did she think my love for Claire was some child's play? I felt a fire ignite inside me, my jaw clenching hard and my teeth biting into my cheeks.

Where the heck did Claire dig such a mother from? I raised myself from my lying position to let my anger sink into the depth of my stomach. My hands had trouble holding me up as they were vibrating with fury.

Her words still came biting into my ear in repetition, sending charcoals of anger smothering my breath and making me ache to smash something on the wall.

Was she for real? Come to invite me? I shook my head in disbelief. I must really have heard it all. She wasn't even forcing Claire to marry Theodore, she was rubbing it on my face.

My nose flared pumping out more heated air than it took in.

"Mom, are you insane?" I could feel the heat from Claire's anger too. She probably wouldn't go ahead with the ridiculous engagement. “How

    Claire."Liar!!" I blurted immediately, standing up to face Sophia with fire burning in my eyes and hot air swimming out of my nostrils.Fury ignited quickly inside me like a firecracker ready to blow up all over my face and I so much wished it could blow up at once and engulf everyone so that I could rest.My vision clouded with the injustice of the moment and my heart entwined with the spider web of rage that tangled my heart without breathing space, making me hunger for room and the opportunity to let the emotions crash out into the real world.Who gave her the right to stand before everyone and spew lies? I just couldn't understand how humans could be so evil! My hand swung dangerous by my side wishing they could collide with something and destroy them into shreds just like I wished I could claw my nails into Sophia's make-upped plastic beauty and reduce it into drips of flesh and blood.I took in air in sharp intervals, chest heaving with the cooking anger grating in my heart, a

    Giancarlo.This can't be true! I kept reiterating in my head, shaking it heavily as the figures danced before my eyes. My ribs thomped with pains and my ears rang with Sophia's accusing voice. I couldn't believe it.Everything seemed so wrong, my eyes glued on the transaction history, reading the billions of dollars that had been moving out from the company's account into her account daily and my throat dried.Claire would never do that! I assured myself as I started unblinkedly at the figures, confusion and disbelief simmering like a pot of porridge in my heated brain and my teeth chattering uncomfortably.Lorenzo stood quietly by my side, not even moving his body. His silence was too foreboding that I suddenly wished he would say something, explain what was going on. Explain why the transaction history was telling me that the giant billions had been semt from the company and how I could prove Claire's innocence. Frustration sat like a heavyweight champion in my head, pushing my bra

    Claire.No sooner had they left than I grabbed my phone from the bed, hands shaking and aching to go through my other accounts and eyes dilating swiftly.My head spun, I could feel my blood rise with every tap I gave my phone and sweat drop with every breath I inhaled.What if everything got worse? What if the other accounts held more stolen funds than I could ever imagine? I held my chest, willing my pounding heart to reduce its pounce.Why me? The hurting thought pressed my heart like a dumbbell, squeezing more fear and sadness into it and making my brain quake in helplessness.What about the wedding? The sharp thought pierced through.I pushed my mom's insensitive comment about a wedding tomorrow to the back of my mind. If I didn't wish to get married would she force me? I tried to give myself motivations but it faltered.I knew deeply that she could force me, especially using the tool grasped strong by Sophia. My throat dried up with the thought of being tagged a fraud and then im

    Claire.Realizing the truth with horror, I shot up, breathing heavily like I had just completed a marathon race and my hair tossing forward to cover my face.I tossed it backwards angrily.Had he tampered with my account? My breathing grew rapid.Of course he would. Who else? He worked with the finance team so he could have pulled it up to spite me, punish me for something I never did."Claire, what's wrong?" Carlo spoke to me for the first time and I felt so irritated that I wanted to scream at him, transfer some of the bubbling aggressions in my chest to him and make sure he paid for ever doubting me.I shot him an angry glare, roasting him already with my eyes and cursing him with a thousand swear words inwardly.I shifted my attention from his betrayal back to Alex's consistent wickedness and rage bounced up and down in my chest. I needed to confront him I took in the black bikers short and black polo I was putting on in one glance, grabbed my phone and stormed out to go find Ale

    Giancarlo My eyes watered greatly, tears clouding my vision and thought as Lorenzo briefed me on the situation at hand. My head tangled with guilt and sadness, ears ringing with Claire's sincere plea, making it heavy for me to think properly without giving in to the suicidal thought of cutting myself into pieces.My nose itched from desperate need to cry and sob loud and my tongue was already sour from too much hard swallowing of saliva. I took in deep breaths to steady myself and bring me back to reality.Lorenzo went on and I struggled to keep pace with him, my whirring head and clouded senses fighting dangerously to overpower his words.He said that he'd have to trace the bank account that transfered into Claire's bank account in order to prove her innocence. I nodded, understanding him after a long time of throwing his sentences back and forth in my mind and a long fight with my emotions that were all over the place.Lorenzo believed that she wasn't the real culprit and of cour

    Giancarlo My body trembled and electric current thrashed through my body, leaving me an empty, hollow shell and making my brain feel as empty as a headless goat.Fear wafted into my bones, making it ache for the knowledge of the unknown and putting me in a corner.He knew everything? The question pushed through my chest like a sharp horn, wrecking it with uncontrollable pain and devastation and feeding it the bitter bread of sadness.I tossed the phone on the bed towards Lorenzo, eyes blinking hard to stop the embarrassing tears from showing up too much. He got the clue, took the phone, read the message and gasped, eyes raising and laced with shock and petrifaction.Yes, it was shocking, even for him. The last person we had wanted the news to get to, was Grandpa Ettore. All the actions and risk I had in mind to take was just so that he won't get to know about it, so that he won't add his own troubles to the heaps of troubles that already existed.I suddenly felt feverish, hands and f

    Claire.It wasn't just a picture. It was a life threatening picture that sent my heart running and my flesh dissolving. My heart pounded against my ribs, in rapid jerking beats and my fingers grew sour from my strong grip of my phone. Time froze as I stared with mouth agape.Carlo was with grandpa at the swimming pool and Lorenzo just sent a photo of them.My heart pounded in fear and my breathing was uneven, sounding like it took minutes rather than half-seconds for oxygen to find my nostrils. It felt like I was collapsing, falling into a tunnel-deep of thorny plants as realization seeped in through my bones.What was going to befall me? Was I already going to be fired? My body began to shake, chills swimming through my veins to my skin and making the few body hairs I had, stand in salutation.That was when I noticed that I was still in Alex's house, with him staring interestedly at me, or was that worry? I didn't care to know.Stilling my expression, I gave him one sweeping look o

    Claire.Even as the thought filled my head, I rebuked it almost immediately, hating myself for even thinking of it. There were so many things I wanted to do and dying had suddenly paled out of the list. Dying would mean that I would never feel the fire in my body whenever Carlo's palms grated my skin and that I had renounced the shivers that always ran pleasurably down my spine with just a light caress from him.It would mean that I would never see Carlo again and never accept his massive dick into my pussy that always grew wet whenever there was little problem to worry about and that I would have to cut short my future and everything at the young age of 25 even before I had married the love of my life!!!Certainly even if I had gone haywire I wouldn't be stupid enough to do it. Life was too short to kill myself.I kept eyeing the guards for them to back out, fear shearing my heart and numbing my mind from all other emotions as the wind blew dangerously at my hair, sending wisp flyin

    Claire.I reacted before my brain registered anything; a hot and resounding slap that even quietened Carlo's snore and made everywhere as quiet as a grave yard."Are you stupid? Like what the fuck?" I howled, eyes blazing in fury of a thousand tigress and my mind whirring like a hurricane wondering what the time was and why he had such boldness in him."Do I look like a whore to you? A sex toy?" My chest heaved and fell with the scalding heat in my chest and I clenched my fist hard, ready to punch out the teeth he used in speaking out.What the fuck was wrong with this return-from-the-dead ghost? Was he nut? How brave could he be? Saying so much nonsense with stupid pride? How dare him speak such a condescending, corrupt sentence to me?The thought ran swift in my head making my lips quiver and my lashes blink fast in marks rage."Well, you leave me no choice," he shrugged and pointed the gun at Carlo, threatening to pull the trigger, while putting on a monster-like smile and looking

    Claire.My first instinct was to take my hand to my breast to cup it out of the eagle reach of his eyesight. I looked around frantically, trying to register any escape route or something but I saw none."Who are you?" I managed to ask after looking around did not yield good and satisfying results. I bit my lips hard as his eyes still trailed down my body, settling a little too long on my thighs and pussy area and making my cheeks grow red in embarrassment."It's me, Theodore," he replied, his voice getting annoyingly seductive and his eyes shining with the shadow light casted by the light around. I tightened my arms against my boobs, suddenly regretting not at least putting on my panties before embarking in such an idiotic war.Now I was exposed to him, almost defenseless. What was I even thinking? I scolded myself for my stupidity. Although, I had planned enough for everything, my nakedness and the shame from it was making everything seem so hard.“It's me,” he repeated. “Theodore.”

    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.
