ROSES ON FIRE EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
ClarissaThe shock of his line immediately propelled me to my feet. At the same time, Pierre approached, placing his hand on my shoulder. He could definitely feel me shaking. How the hell did he figure it out?I could barely make eye contact with him. I just couldn’t look him in the eyes. But it was his reaction that shocked me the most. “Please don’t be afraid. Your secret is safe with me. We’re like artist to artist, right?” It was possible that his reply would make me calm down, but I could hardly do that. Hardly at all. Despite my hoarse voice and difficulty finding words, I still found the strength to ask. “How did you figure that out?” I asked in a low tone, barely audible to myself. “I don’t have to be a genius, Miss Ward. Few women have this little sexy mole here by the mouth,” he said, coming menacingly close. With such a sure movement, he gently stroked me near the corner of my mouth, sending shivers down my body. “In fact, I don’t know anyone who has”He moved his hand
ROSES ON FIRE THE INTERVIEW PART II
ClarissaI could barely breathe again, but this time I had a better grip on my emotions. It is his business if he wants to find Cello Clare. I giggled to myself, even sketching a barely visible smile. And I couldn’t help myself either.“I wish you good luck in finding her. I hear she doesn’t show her face at all.” “And how would you know that, Miss Ward?” I didn’t even have time to breathe in or prepare a response that wouldn’t give me away. But at the same time, I remembered I had the perfect cover.“I’m a journalist, Mr. Trottier, so I’m not missing a thing,” I said, putting a different emphasis on his name just to show him that his remark didn’t sit well with me. Was I jealous of Cello Clare because she was getting more attention? That was ridiculous.“Ok, I am ready to continue the interview,” he replied, and I felt a slight victory in his own duel of words. “Fair enough. What keeps you enthusiastic about continuing to make music and explore different styles?” I asked the next
ROSES ON FIRE THE INTERVIEW- PART I
CLARISSAOnly after swallowing hard a few times did I manage to put myself in the shoes of the journalist and do the job I had come to Paris to do. In fact, Pierre’s hypnotic gaze could either cause you to stop moving in your seat or continue to move and not find your seat. This was so damn frustrating. But within seconds of clearing my throat, I positioned the tape recorder on the table in front of him.“Mr. Trottier, as you know I represent Devilish INK magazine and I’m here to interview you, to help the public get to know the man Pierre Trottier, not just through your talent and profession, but as you are entirely. With your life, your experiences, your memories. So, Mr. Trottier, if you had to give yourself a definition, what would it be?” I started out confident. Every time I did my job, I changed my tone of voice, becoming very formal and nothing, not even a grimace from the person being interviewed, could bring me out of this trance. “I think the public already knows me ma
ROSES ON FIRE ADMIRATION OR FEAR
CLARISSAI almost ran out of breath at the butler’s comment. Taking Hanna’s hand, I swallowed hard.“Just you, Miss Ward,” the man spoke firmly, breaking us apart. I couldn’t believe we had come together and now this man would separate us. What was so secret that Pierre only wanted to see me? “Ok…” I muttered that I barely heard myself. “But I don’t quite understand. Why is Mr. Trottier only wanting to see me?” I asked anyway, showing interest. After all, I had come with Hannah and I still intended to stay with her throughout the evening.“Well, Miss Ward, that’s a question only Mr. Trottier can answer,” said the butler on the same polite note, gesturing with his arm for me to follow him.“Go on Clare! I’ll stay here quietly and when you come out, we’ll leave immediately,” Hannah urged me, pointing in the same direction.“Are you sure? If you don’t want me to go, we can leave now...” I reassured myself that Hannah would be fine.“Yes, I’m sure. We can’t leave without the article or M
ROSES ON FIRE EAGER PIERRE
ClarissaThe day of the big event arrived, and I was on the plane with Hannah. I couldn’t say I wasn’t nervous. I’d been across the border before, but I had a feeling this trip was going to have a different meaning. “Are you feeling ok, Clare?” Hannah asked me suddenly, putting her hand on my shoulder. They just warned us to fasten our seatbelts as we were about to land. “I am fine, just a little nervous. But it will pass” And it really had to pass or I wouldn’t be able to do my job properly. As soon as we landed and stepped off onto Parisian soil, the feeling of uncertainty faded a little. We traveled by cab to the cottage paid for by the magazine for the weekend we were supposed to spend here. It was perhaps more than I could have imagined. Small, comfortable, with a welcoming, flower-filled courtyard. A terrace on the top floor graced it perfectly. I was also thinking about the coffee I was going to enjoy the next morning. And somehow, to make the scenery perfect, we had a cle
ROSES ON FIRE MY GHOSTS
ClarissaI simply couldn’t control my tears and now they came out like waterfalls. It was a part of my life that I wanted so badly to forget, to bury so deep in my mind that it would be lost forever. I wanted my subconscious to repress that tragedy. Sometimes I had nightmares and would still wake up screaming and sweating, but then I would tell myself that I was fine, that I was in the safety of my own home and that no one could hurt me or Skyler anymore. I never went to therapy, but not because Hannah wouldn’t insist on it for me, but because I was sure I could get through it on my own. Never pressed charges against him, though. He was so rich that it was just a waste of time and money. My money.“Let’s go, I have to be in Milena’s office in five minutes!” I told her, but I was getting tired. Milena was going to add something about all this, and I knew it. I was grateful for all her help, but sometimes I felt she was getting too involved in my personal stuff.“Okay, but remember, y
