MasukClarissa cut the vegetables in the kitchen, her lips moving continuously, mumbling incoherent curses as she prepared dinner.Antoine popped in his head from outside and looked at the busy figure in the kitchen and sucked in cold breath, chills running down his spine.Damn!She is boiling like a soup. She would burn him alive if he dips his hand in. “Should I call the cops Rissa?”The words rolled out off his tounge before he can control himself and covered his mouth, biting back his tounge. Fuck! He is doomed. Should he really piss her off when she is already on the verge of erupting like a volcano?Clarissa glared at him with her bloodshot eyes, her fingers itching to drive the knife she is holding into his heart for mocking her.How dare he?She failed to kick the badass man out of her house as Mattia clung to him like an octopus, dragging him to solve the puzzle with him and the nerve of Antoine to rub her failure on her face. “Why don’t you find a hotel room to sque
Nicholas stood in Clarissa’s bedroom, utterly defeated in the game of winning her back. He knew it’s difficult to convince her, considering his past actions and he should feel happy that she didn’t kick his balls and gave him a chance to explain himself but he still expected a miracle to happen. Well! She should be blamed for making him think that she is easy to be tamed because she gave in to him in the past without much efforts. Or is it him who made her the lioness she is now? Whatever! He surely became a shameless lion and won’t budge from his decision. “Sorry to disappoint you Ms. Anderson. I’m not leaving your house until I get you out of here.” He said, refusing to step out of her bedroom and sat on the bed, making her blood boil with rage. The nerve of him to sit on her bed. Antoine came to her side, flabbergasted by her sudden yell and looked into her room, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw Nicholas sitting on her bed as though he owned it. He can
Clarissa felt her heart numb because she didn’t know what to say after hearing his explanation.He was hesitant to let her go but his obsession for his company won against his feelings for her which was why he left a seed in her as an insurance policy to decide their fate. He is saying that he realised his feelings for her after the divorce and wanted to come to her when he succeeded in impregnating her but stopped because of her dad and Natalie.How is that convincing? Fine! Maybe he really was a saint and wanted to protect her and the baby from malicious women like Natalie and Linda but there are still so many things he did which can’t be forgiven. She didn’t struggle to get rid of him because she knew it’s useless to waste her energy when he held her in an iron hold which he uses to keep her in a place. Since he wants to get on her nerves, let her grant his wish.“Forget about divorce Nicholas. You took advantage of my vulnerability.”She said, boring her gaze into hi
The divorce had always been the plan.Feelings, love, longing had no place in Nicholas’s heart. His only goal is the Romano group. But Clarissa had a great effect on him.Her absence was like a leash on him, pulling him back to her and when his heart wavered, urging him to go to her, Derrick came to him with bombarding facts.And when he told him about the divorce, the old man was devastated but later he came to consensus with the situation because keeping Clarissa out of Nicholas’s life felt the right thing.When he can’t give her love, there is no point in dragging her with him. That’s what Derrick said. The poor man didn’t know that he already fell head over heels for his daughter and refused to file the petition in the court. Nicholas looked down into Clarissa’s eyes, whose eyes are filled with confusion and stroked her cheek, her soft skin feeling velvety under his touch.“That bothered me.”He said, moving his fingers to her tendrils and twirled them between his fing
Nicholas knew getting Clarissa would be the toughest task he has ever dealt with but she is harder than he expected.She is not sweet and kind anymore. She is like a stubborn kitten, brandishing it’s claws the moment he tries to cosy up to her. But he is determined to tame her stubbornness. “Did you not bring me here to hear my explanation?”He asked, finally pulling out his trump card. The purpose of his visit and her agenda to bring him into her room is to listen to his explanation and she is not letting him speak but started shooting him with bullet after the bullet.He knew she is mad at him but at least she should give him a chance to defend himself before passing down the verdict. Clarissa frowned, unwilling to hear his explanation but since she took the initiative to bring him in, she should just let him try his best. “I’m all ears.”She said, folding her arms across her chest and gave him all the attention he needed.“I…”Nicholas stuttered, not expecting her s
Mattia looked at the three elders in the living room with his big doe eyes, confused that why they stood in the corners like they are strangers. He then looked at his mother’s closed bedroom with a frown, not understanding why his mother sent him out and took daddy inside. “Mattia, come here.” Natalie whispered as she gestured him to come to her side and the little boy obeyed, taking tiny steps and approached her. “How about we finish the puzzle together?” She asked, trying to keep Mattia distracted while her sister sorted out her things with Nicholas. Mattia nodded his head in excitement when she talked about the puzzle which he has been working on for a week and quickly ran towards the coffee table in the living room and pulled out the puzzle sheet from beneath. Antoine and Catherine stood on opposite sides, trying to avoid each other as much as possible. Catherine’s outburst is something Antoine didn’t expect but he also didn’t want to dwell into the depths of her w
“Boss!”“Boss!”Victor chased after Nicholas, running behind him to keep up with his pace as he held the notepad in the air. Nicholas didn’t bother to respond to his assistant’s cries as he made his way into the elevator and pressed the button of the floor where his PR team is racking their bra
Clarissa is in deep slumber when someone banged on her bedroom door, waking her up from a beautiful sleep.She was dreaming about something glorious but she was interrupted, upsetting her mood even before she started her day and carefully got down the bed.She placed her hands on her now visible
The heavy animalistic winds which growled all night subdued in the wake of the dawn, the light rays penetrated the black clouds from the sky, swallowing the darkness, illuminating the warmth, a fresh start for the world to begin the day. Nicholas woke up from his sleep due to the continuous buzzi
The silence in the office, the guilt of his past actions, the weight of his responsibilities pressed on Nicholas so hard that it didn’t subdue the pressure on his chest even after smoking two cigarettes. He lit another one, the memories of his engagement night flooding back at once with intensity
