LOGINNatalie looked at Clarissa in fear, frightened by her long silence.Did she really hate her?She shouldn’t have brought this topic at all because she didn’t want to be hated by her sister.In the past five years, she grew attached to Clarissa as she got to know about her a lot, had a better understanding of her character and realised what she had missed in her childhood. She regretted her actions from the past and wanted to make amendments. She finally came to the consensus that nothing can be more important than a familial bond and she has it with Clarissa now.She didn’t want to lose it.Clarissa frowned, looking at the empty glass in her hand deep in thoughts. Natalie gulped, feeling nervous with each passing second and even Antoine straightened his back, looking at Clarissa in confusion. What is she thinking about?“I don’t know.” Clarissa said, breaking the ice but it didn’t help Natalie from feeing anxious and the poor girl, lowered her head in guilt. She knew it
The night fell, dropping the temperature in the air, bringing the cold winds to the city from the hills, filling the empty streets with winds.Clarissa laid on bed with Mattia after a memorable dinner and read him bedtime stories, putting him to sleep. Meanwhile, Natalie and Antoine gathered in the balcony, wrapped in thick blankets, cuddled on recliners and served themselves with drinks. “Delicious! I miss this taste.”Natalie moaned with her eyes closed as she sipped the wine, the bitter sweet liquid quenching her thirst, taking her into a fantasy world. Antoine sighed, rolling his eyes at her exaggeration and sipped his drink, stretching his long legs and put them on the railings. Just then Clarissa pushed open the balcony door, rubbing her hands as her body shivered from the cold and quickly occupied the recliner beside Natalie, covering her body with the blanket. “That’s really fast.”Natalie said, surprised to see her sister join them earlier than expected. “Is he
Antoine put on his jacket and set his hair with his fingers before spraying the perfume around his neck and stepped out of his bedroom. He came to the kitchen and took the bread from the basket, taking two big bites hurriedly and checked the time on his wrist watch. Clarissa slapped his hand which is trying to take another bread piece and glared at him for stealing food. The party hasn’t started yet and he is eating already. Greedy cat.Antoine winked at her playfully and quickly stole a grape from the fruit bowl before popping it in his mouth and left the kitchen, saving himself from another hit. “I am off to get the cake and pastries. Do you want anything to add to the list?”He asked, grabbing the car keys from the wall hooks near the door and wrapped the shawl around his neck, getting ready to go out. “Yes! Here.”Clarissa shouted from the kitchen and ran out with a list in her hand and handed it over to him .“Come back soon.”She said walking him to the door and A
Clarissa woke up the next day, her heart jumping in excitement to celebrate her boy’s birthday. She kissed her sleeping son on the cheek and quickly washed herself before stepping out to do the arrangements for the big day. “Bonjour!”Antoine greeted, entering the kitchen, his voice hoarse and squinted his sleepy eyes at the woman who is actively roaming in the kitchen, her hands skilfully cooking the breakfast. “Bonjour!”Clarissa greeted back, not sparing him a glance as she cut the fruits like a master chef.Being a mother promoted her from businesswoman to a chef and she enjoys feeding her son with her hand cooked food. “Sorry! I woke up late. Bad dreams.”Antoine said as he dragged the chair from the counter and slumped his body on it, his hands clutching his hair as though he is hit by a hangover. Clarissa’s hands paused for a second as she lifted her head to look at her friend, her brows furrowing in worry.“Pour yourself a cup of coffee.”She said, pointing at
Antoine stood in the living room, looking at the decorations with a smile and sighed. Clarissa had been planning this for a week but her one mistake ruined the surprise.She cannot be blamed though because the boy is too smart.He put the remaining scattered decorative items in the box and put it away before going to the kitchen, to get the vase and set it in the middle of the coffee table.It’s done. He retreated to his room after turning off the lights in the living room and laid on his bed, closing his eyes to get some sleep but it is far away from him.He looked at the ceiling, deep in thoughts, his heart wavering, struggling to push away the unwanted memories but they are rushing back like a tsunami.It’s Mattia’s birthday. A day of joy and happiness. Something to celebrate and have fun but it is also the day he experienced a heartbreak for the first time in his life. A terrible one precisely. It has been five years since the incident happened yet his heart ached whene
Five years later…The moon peeked through the clouds, illuminating the city with it’s moonlight, accompanying the floral fields of Grasse to survive the night.The temperature dropped to sixteen degrees celsius despite the summer as the city is located in the hills above the sea level.As night drew darker, the winds carried the floral scents to each and every door in the city, spreading the purity of divine fragrances. A woman in her mid - thirties, closed the window of her bedroom, blocking the winds and looked at the little figure sleeping on her bed.When she didn’t find any movements, she heaved a sigh and smiled in victory, successfully putting her devil to sleep.Mission accomplished.Yay!She clapped her hands silently for succeeding in finishing her task but heard faint, distort noises coming from the living room and rushed out hurriedly, her steps soft and steady, afraid to wake up the devil.“Hush!! What are you doing idiot?”She scolded the man who is busy sorti
