After a few hours.Clarissa is currently walking her way at the Angels Home Orphanage. After six days of working, she can finally relax and have a happy time with the children. She missed playing with them so much, and she's really excited to meet them all again."Wow! A new firetruck toy! Thank you very much!" She thoughtfully frowned when she heard that excited voice coming from the auditorium of the orphanage. Did another philanthropist visited the children again? And who could it be? She walks faster as she gets more and more curious. She can hear the sound of the children,and it's clear that they sounded happy and excited. As soon as she reaches the entrance door of the auditorium room, she saw the children who are currently standing in line. She saw a really pretty woman who screams of expensive items from head to toe, and she was the one who is giving gifts to the children. She's happy to see that many people wants to help the children at the orphanage, and they will welco
Few days have passed.Clarissa and her colleague, Angel, are having a 15-minute break at work. They are at the al fresco table outside the convenience store, while enjoying some pastries and having iced coffee. "The pastries and the iced coffee tastes good! Let's order at that coffee shop again." Angel smilingly said, while looking satisfied with their afternoon snack."I agree with you... Anyway, our 15-minute break is over, we should go back to work." Clarissa suggested."Yep, back to work..." Angel nodded in agreement.Clarissa volunteered to put their trash on the garbage can. As she was about to throw the trash, she suddenly saw something inside. She frowned when she saw something squared, and there were some colorful wires attached into it. There was also a red counter on it and the numbers are changing.And she's not stupid not to know what it was."Angel, run away!" she shouted at her co-worker.Angel started running away, and Clarissa did the same thing too, however, the sma
For the passed few days, Michele has been consistently protecting Clarissa after what happened to her. He's always showing up at work, driving her home, and he also visits the orphanage during the weekend, just to be by her side, and at the same time, he's starting to get closer to the children and everyone there.It was another weekend at the orphanage, and Michele is helping out preparing lunch for the children. He is doing the barbecue grilling, while the others are cooking their own dish, and there are some few who are setting up the long table and the chairs as they are gearing up for an outdoor lunch party.Michele's eyes roamed around to look for Clarissa, but she was nowhere to be found. He suddenly became anxious, thinking that something might have happened to her. Eventhough they are in a public, populated place, he's still up on his feet, and alert at all times. His father, the Godfather of the "La Famiglia" will do anything and everything to get what he wants.He immediat
"You're right. I shouldn't be wasting my time on you. And it's your lost , not mine. I can find a better man compared to you." Celeste haughtily stated.At the same time, Clarissa wanted to give Celeste a big hug to comfort her. As a woman, she fully understand her pain, and she wants to support her in anyway she can."I have to go. I have better things to do. Goodbye, Michele and Clarissa." Celeste finally said her goodbye. Then afterwards, she turns her back on them, and started walking away without looking back.As she continues to walk away, big tears started to stream down her cheeks. She doesn't want to glance back at Michele because she doesn't want to see her crying like a pathetic fool. She has to maintain her dignity as a woman.And as soon as she steps inside her car, she finally lets herself cry out loud, pouring out all of her pain, frustration and heartbreak...======================================When Celeste was finally out of sight, Clarissa started to speak again.
"You know very well on why I came here to talk to you." Michele Montserrat's started with his agenda rightaway."Yes, sir. Please allow me to explain that I didn't try to convince Michele on anything. Everything he decided on, he mainly concluded them all by himself." Clarissa explained her side.Michael nodded in return."Yes, I understand that. My son has this characteristic of being stubborn, and I can admit that he got it from me. I am perfectly aware that Michele decided everything all by himself, and he's not easily influenced by other people. However..."Clarissa held her breath in suspense as she waited for the old man to speak again."But your presence has a great influence and impact towards my son. His feelings for you--whatever you call it, has got something to do with all of his decisions. Which made our relationship as a father and son very problematic." Michael's jaw clenched, as he tries his best to control his emotions."I am truly sorry, Mr. Montserrat, but have you
Michele is on his guard as he is making his way to his father's mini-office inside their mansion. The great and powerful Michael Montserrat called for him and requested to have an appointment with him this evening.His father didn't tell him the agenda of their meeting, but he already had this guy feeling that they are going to talk about his relationship with Clarissa.And he's never going to back down. He will protect and defend Clarissa against his father.When he is finally standing at the door of his father's mini-office, he started knocking on his door."Come in, son!" he heard his father's voice inside the room.Based on his father's tone, it seems like he has been expecting him.He took a deep, calming breath before he opens the door. After a few seconds, he opens it and made his entrance inside the mini-office."I'm glad you can meet with me now, son. Go ahead and have a seat." Michael greeted his son.Michele took a seat, while feeling cautious. He is getting mentally and em
Michele woke up, in a startled manner. He is aware that he has already opened his eyes, but all he can see is the pitch-black darkness.He knows that he's sitting on a chair, and he can hear some men talking, just a few meters away from him. Looks like they're having a good time, and based on what he's been hearing from them, he assumes that they are playing a game of cards, and he can smell the scent of alcohols and cigarettes.As his foggy mind starts to clear up, he realizes that he is blindfolded, with his arms and legs all tied up. Michele can sense that he is in a serious situation right now. But he decided to keep himself calm, as he starts thinking of the ways on how he can break free and successfully escape...He suddenly heard some voices on his left side. The men are talking about something, so he strained his ears to understand hus abductor's conversation... "He's been here for long hours already. What do you think our Boss will do to him?" one of the men asked his compa
He's more worried and scared for Clarissa, because she's not used to the world that he's in. Clarissa is an easy prey for the La Famiglia clan.Michele snaps out from his reverie when he heard Luca Stracci's voice again."Who should I start with, Michele? Is it your father, your mother or your girlfriend?""Why would you ask me? Don't you have the guts to do it?" Michele challenges him again.Stracci remained silent for a few seconds or so... Then without a word, he laughed out loud as if he was crazy."You got that courageous trait from your father, Michele. But unfortunately, it will get you in trouble at the end..." Stacci leered at him. "You really thought that you have won over my old man? I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you're sadly mistaken." Michele sneered back at him.Stracci's brows met in an angry frown."You're really getting into my nerves now, young man." "I wish you could look at your face now, Stracci. You look like you're ready to explode because of anger. I li
