Clarissa

His car took one more turn, and we stopped in front of a fancy restaurant. Damien, with his good manners, helped me get out of the car. I was not used to such gallantry, and this man emanated it from all of his pores. I felt like I was blushing again, so I hid my eyes from him.

I still couldn’t explain what I was feeling around him, but I was sure of a mixture of fear and safety, both at the same time. He led me to the entrance of the restaurant.

“Wow, this place is enormous!” I exclaimed as I glanced around, from the chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings to the elegantly set tables and their equally elegant occupants. Suddenly I felt my clothes no longer fit the setting.

“I am glad you like it. Ri… Mr Trottier chose it for us so we can have a quiet conversation,” he added with a hesitation in his voice when he said Pierre’s name.

“I see... Mr Trottier sure has wonderful taste”

I didn’t know what else to say. I was just amazed and my words refused to come out.

  • ROSES ON FIRE   AN OPPORTUNITY I CAN'T MISS

    CLARISSAIt feels like just yesterday that I returned to Riccardo’s house, yet an entire week has passed. Hannah has been staying with us for that entire time.The sound of my phone ringing caught me off guard. I was relieved to find out that only Hannah was next to me.“Hello?”“Clarissa? It’s Pierre,” he said in one breath. “I am sorry I disappeared like that. I haven’t forgotten about the promise we made to perform together, have you?” he asked, his tone more jovial.How could I forget? Only it wasn’t the right time now.“Of course, I remember. How have you been?” I asked, diverting the conversation a bit.“I’ve been great, Clarissa! But that’s not why I’m calling. It’s time to keep that promise of ours. I’ve gone ahead of you and signed you up for a performance at Diamond Hall this weekend,” he blurted. “Wait, this weekend? Pierre, I wasn’t expecting that. I hadn’t performed in ages, and the idea of doing it at Diamond Hall makes me nervous.” I tried to excuse myself.“I know, I

  • ROSES ON FIRE   I SLEPT WITH HIM

    CLARISSAI found Hannah having coffee on the terrace by the pool the next morning, and it came as a complete surprise after my conversation with Riccardo. “Hannah! I can’t believe it’s you. Is it really you? Oh my goodness, I can’t believe my eyes! What are you doing here by the pool? And in this house?” I gasped in disbelief.“Surprise! Seeing the look on your face, I knew you weren’t expecting me. Riccardo brought me here, saying it was just for you. Can you believe it?”“Hannah, you do not know how much it means to me to see you right now. This is such a wonderful surprise! It’s only been a day since we talked, but I already miss you so much. How did Riccardo even arrange all of this?” I asked, overwhelmed with joy. “I know, right? It’s unbelievable. Riccardo called me this morning and said he wanted me to get ready and when the car arrived, I should get in. He told me it was for you. I would have gotten in even if he didn’t say it was about you. This mobster’s still gonna hear a

  • ROSES ON FIRE   I WOULD NOT BE FOOLED

    CLARISSAHis words cut deep into my heart. No one had ever defended me like that before. His eyes radiated hatred but also compassion. But if the mobsters were famous for anything, that was cheating. And he was no exception. So I wouldn’t let him fool me.I would play as he sang to me just long enough to regain his trust and then I would give him the deathblow. Who did he think he was fooling, that he wasn’t the one who hurt me? My troubled mind and bleeding body never deceived me. I couldn’t forget that. His breath reeked of alcohol. His every sickening touch. Every gross kiss. And now I had to remember all that again.“Ok, I will tell you everything!” “I’m all ears!” he said and took a seat in his chair. He motioned me to do the same.Despite my fear, I forced myself to recount the horrifying events of my past. With a heavy heart, I finally found the courage to share the memories that had been weighing me down. As I spoke, the weight of the words seemed to echo in the room, and th

  • ROSES ON FIRE   YOU ARE MY WOMAN!

    RICCARDOWhat the hell was she thinking? To show up like that after leaving like a storm with the necklace in her hand like nothing had happened?As she was apologetic so quickly, I approached her with a menacing attitude, which caught her off guard.“Who is it you are trying to fool, Clarissa Ward?” I asked, showing her the necklace I already had in my possession. “I am not trying to fool anyone. What? Can’t a woman make a mistake anymore?” “You call this a mistake?” I asked, holding her gaze. She fidgeted nervously, as if grappling with the decision to share what was on her mind. However, her quietness was brief as she eventually started talking. “Lately, my mind has been playing tricks on me. I’ve been going through things you can’t imagine. Or, given your nature, maybe you can imagine them. In my past, there was a man who did a lot of harm to me and my sister. He wore the same necklace that you wore and I thought that you... I was sure it was you. It couldn’t have been anyone

  • ROSES ON FIRE   THE FIRST LIE

    CLARISSAThe weight of my emotions made the journey back to Riccardo’s house feel longer, each step accompanied by a new thought. With the truth finally unveiled, it was clear that he caused my sister’s tragic fate and losing my innocence. My heart felt heavy as the weight of this revelation sank in, leaving a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. To solve the problem, I knew I had to be both cunning and deceptive, while also being careful not to reveal my true intentions. I had to convince Riccardo that I was unaware of his malicious actions and still the same gullible person he always knew. I knew I had to play a role, and it had to be so convincing that he wouldn’t see through my true intentions. It was a challenging task to return his necklace, the very symbol of his malevolence, amidst the tangled web of deceit, without raising suspicion.A wave of emotions hit me as I neared Riccardo’s house - memories of my sister, grief, anger, and the determination to seek justice. The wolf in shee

  • ROSES ON FIRE   ONCE AND FOR ALL

    CLARISSAAs I walked in, I saw Hannah had already claimed a table by the window and was scrolling through her phone. As soon as I walked in, she greeted me with a friendly wave. It was a relief to finally see her, and I couldn’t hide my happiness.“Hannah! Oh my gosh, it’s been so long! I can’t even express how happy I am to see you after all this time. My heart ached from missing you so much!” I said, throwing myself into her arms. Her hug was so soothing. “Clarissa! I’ve missed you too! It feels like ages since we last caught up. I’m so glad we could meet today. You look both excited and emotional. What’s been going on with you?” Hannah asked, and we both sat.My smile vanished, and I noticed sadness in Hanna’s eyes. “You won’t believe what I’ve been through,” I said to Hannah, my voice shaking. “It’s been such a rollercoaster. After all these years, I finally discovered the truth about the person who hurt me so much in the past.” “Oh no, Clarissa,” she said, her voice tinged wi
