LOGINDerrick and Matilda battled at the door, one is struggling to twist the knob to open the door while the other refused to let her go. He is ashamed to face her with his past but she deserves his apology more than anyone in this world.“I’m sorry.”He said, making her struggles come to a halt and she looked at him in utter disbelief.Did he just say sorry to her for what he did? After twenty two years?Is he kidding? “Sorry?”She repeated coldly, pushing him away with her shoulder and turned to face him. “Don’t you think it’s too late?”He nodded desperately and stepped closer to her. “I know.”He said, looking at her pleadingly “I know but I should say it. I’m sorry Grace.”She slapped him.The slap is so hard and loud that it echoed in the room, making his cheek burn and he faced the ground in shame, his gold rimmed glasses lying on the floor, broken in pieces. “Don’t you dare, Mr. Cooper.”She warned him, her hand shaking because of the slap but she didn’t regret it.
Nicholas stood in the corner, swirling the glass in his hand deep in thoughts, his expression hidden under the dim lights but the dark aura emitting from his body made people avoid the perimeter of him.He downed the drink in one go, the alcohol slowly getting into his head as he remembered Natalie’s words.The nerve of her to threaten him.But the possibility of her telling the truth to Clarissa made his heart skip a beat. Even though he warned Natalie, her words can’t be called as a bluff.What if Clarissa really gets to know about what happened on the engagement night?Would she still love him?Will she forgive him?Will she still agree to be his wife?Even if she is willing, his mother-in-law won’t let her. She would even risk her company by terminating the contract to take Clarissa away from him. And this time she won’t budge with her decision. Matilda has gone as far as contacting his parents to tell them about Clarissa’s pregnancy with the intention of stealing the
Derrick’s reaction snapped something in Matilda because she spent many sleepless nights, stranded outside filthy hotels to get the evidence against Linda and is this how he fucking reacts?A chuckle?An amused smile? Really!?No!She wants more. She cannot accept this. She want to see him cry, to feel the pain she felt and is still enduring. “Didn’t you leave me for that slut, Mr. Cooper?”She asked, offended by his indifference to Linda’s affairs and pointed her finger at the pictures in his hand. “Look how she is cuckolding you.”She looked like a teenager who is complaining to her boyfriend and Derrick found her adorable and he just let her rant at him because he wants to know her motive behind spying on Linda.“Karma is a bitch right. What goes around, comes around.”She said with a malicious smirk and looked into his eyes, blood rushing to her ears. “How does it feel to see your spouse fooling around with other men?”She finally spat the words which she reserv
Matilda knew the exact moment when Derrick stood behind her.Even though she is surrounded by people, she can sense his fear from miles away but she waited for him to take the initiative and he didn’t disappoint her.He managed to call her name but with great difficulty. At least that hasn’t changed in years. His hesitation.She is glad that her friends left her alone in understanding, otherwise she wouldn’t have known how to convince them. She bid them farewell, feeling conscious about the look in their eyes but she ignored the judging eyes, waiting for them to leave before turning around to face Derrick.He stood few steps away from her, his eyes looking at her with anticipation, his trembling hands buried deep in his pockets.He took a step closer when he got her attention but hesitated to move further and gulped, displaying an awkward smile. “H..how are you?”He asked after much contemplation but there is no change in expression on her face unlike his dancing expressions
Nicholas looked at the woman who is blocking his path in fury but he smiled through the surging anger, not letting people see his displeasure. “How are you Nick?”Natalie asked, successfully cornering him and offered him a drink but he didn’t extend his hand to take it.He is not a fool to drink that potion. Who knows what she mixed in that drink?“Natalie.”He greeted back, his insides churning at the strong perfume she sprayed on her which dominated the smell in the banquet hall. He didn’t expect to see her here but he has to admit that she put great effort to make herself look like a doll. She is pretty but not desirable to him.The woman who desires him is nowhere to be seen and he is stuck with this siren.Natalie isn’t offended by his rejection as she expected it from him and put the glasses back on the tray the waiter brought towards her.The lights dimmed in the hall as the musician started playing a jazz music and all the couples started to dance, indulging in th
Clarissa and Catherine looked at the rattling door of the restroom, their backs damp with sweat as they gulped in fear when the person outside started knocking rapidly. Clarissa grabbed the edge of the counter behind her, terrified for the second time because Catherine did the same earlier and she almost had a cardiac arrest thinking that she was caught.They both shared an anxious look and Catherine stepped forward, telling Clarissa to calm down before unlocking the door and her face turned red in fury after seeing the person standing outside. “You!! Douchebag.”She cursed, hitting his chest and Antoine winced in pain, looking at her in confusion.What did he do to receive her punches?He just followed them out of concern as they disappeared for a long time and thought to check up on them and look how ungrateful she is. Clarissa heaved a sigh in relief, closing her eyes and patted her chest.Thank god!It is Antoine. “Can't you wait a little longer to pee?”Catherine

The air became thick in the elevator as Nicholas continued to look down at the stubborn woman whose face is twisting with mixed expressions. One second she’s furious as raging bull with red flushed face and the next second she’s blinking her eyes in fear, altering her looks from side to side. B
In RISSA essence…… Everyone present in the lobby stared at Nicholas with their wide eyes as it is their first time seeing him visit the company.He looked so dashing and handsome in real life than on screen. Truly an eye feast. Nicholas didn’t care about the looks he’s getting from the spect
Nicholas drove his car at full speed, his eyes carrying the storm which is ready to burst at any moment. The roads were full of traffic but he managed to arrive at the destination, keeping his anger in control, waiting for the right time to explode. He doesn’t need anyone but his parents to tri
