MasukNicholas expected anything. Clarissa begging him to spare her or threatening him with the pregnancy or lying him about having an affair with someone else, anything but not Relationship severing agreement.Somehow all his predictions satisfied his ego because it gave him a sense of authority over her perceptions but this, THIS is not within his expectations.He should really admit that he is shaken a bit by her actions but he hated it. He hated the fact that he is unable to rule out this possibility. He hated that she is throwing him out of her life like a trash as if he meant nothing to her while he should be the one doing that to her. He hated her arrogance. He can’t tolerate to be on the receiving end because he’s always been the guy who dictates people, standing on top of the food chain, being the one in control.But for the first time in his life someone took the reins from him and he can’t let that happen. He would do anything to get back his reins. He approached Clariss
Clarissa pressed her back to the trunk, beads of sweat dripping from her temples despite the cold outside but it didn’t effect her as much as Nicholas’s presence in front of her and the fact that he knew about the pregnancy. He alone is enough to make her shiver of the coldness emitting from him. Her throat felt heavy to even gulp because his hand is lingering on her belly, caressing the bump softly but all she can feel is dread, his terrifying gaze swallowing her alive.“Say something Clarissa Anderson.”Nicholas said, giving a little pat on her abdomen, making her flinch in trepidation.“I.. I…”She couldn’t utter a word because she didn’t know what to say to him. How did he even know about the pregnancy? She had been very careful to be discreet with the check ups. Even if she wasn’t, Catherine wouldn’t tell a soul because she knew her situation and same goes with Antoine.That leaves her mother but she won’t be foolish to risk her grandchild’s life.How? ‘How did yo
Clarissa would’ve been happy to receive gifts from Nicholas if he initiated it when they were married but now whatever he did seems meaningless to her.Because in the past, he has been honest with her. Take it his hatred, his physical desires, his anger, everything, he never hid his feelings and expressed them openly.Even if they hurt her, still she endured because she liked his honesty but now, he’s pretending to care about her and she didn’t have to guess the reason. He wants her.Physically.She didn’t manage to make him fall in love with her but somehow he fell for her body.No matter where he goes or what he does, he comes to her whenever he’s in the mood. The loyal husband he was. He never looked for other women when they were together which pushed her more to work hard to keep her marriage. She didn’t know whether to feel proud or sad about it but that was all in the past. She lost him the moment Natalie came into picture. “Don’t mistake me as your ex fiancée.
Clarissa’s breath came out shallow as she panted, running after Nicholas who seemed to have no intention of caring about her situation. Her legs trembled, on the verge of collapsing but she managed to match his pace, her eyes looking at the familiar path he’s leading them into and something stirred in her. Don’t tell her he's thinking of…?She opened her mouth to beg him, to slow down, to let her go when her left ankle twisted, drawing a soft scream from her and only then did Nicholas halt in his tracks, turning back to look at her, his eyes still holding the fire.Clarissa crouched down, ignoring her caged hand in his grip and held her aching ankle, her face scrunched in pain.She knew it. She expected this would happen before she wore the heels. Nothing good happens to her when he’s here. Nicholas’s anger dissipated a little, just a little, seeing her wince in pain and exhaled sharply, trying to calm down.He let go of her hand and Clarissa didn’t waste a second before li
Nicholas may not love Clarissa but he couldn’t tolerate if someone gets close to her. Because she loves him and has been loving him for years, even before their marriage, even before his engagement with Natalie.It gave him a sense of pride, being loved by her passionately and slowly got used to it but she shouldn’t expect him to reciprocate to her feelings.She knew the rules and followed them but now she’s a free bird and he didn’t like that.He hates to see her living her life without him and his protection. It’s oddly an eyesore. He likes to see her under him, his control but everything has changed after the divorce.She hid the pregnancy news, agreed to throw a banquet to which he wasn’t invited and is boldly talking to her friend in his presence. If it’s in the past, he would’ve tied her to the bed and taught her a lesson till she realized her mistakes but now, he didn’t have that control over her and it’s bugging him. It’s like he lost his favourite doll. When will she und
The music slowed down in the banquet hall as the guests started to leave after bidding farewell to the hostess but Daniel Morgan didn’t show any signs of calling it a night. While Matilda is stuck with the Morgan, Clarissa and Antoine waited for Joey to get the documents. The golden light from the crystal chandelier reflecting on Clarissa as she placed her hand on the abdomen, caressing it gently, her lips stretching into a motherly smile but when she thought about Nicholas, her smile faded and dread filled her eyes. She can’t hide her pregnancy from him forever. Now that she became the acting CEO, some of business gatherings demands her presence and there will be few situations where she couldn’t avoid facing him which might eventually reveal her protruding belly. As of now, the stylists adjusted the dress around her waist, hiding her little baby bump but in the future, it’s not possible. She should think of a way to break him the news or hide till she gives birth or
