Se connecterDerrick held Mattia as the little boy played with his gold rimmed glasses and looked at Clarissa, sweat trickling down his neck as his lips quivered, hesitant to ask the question he badly wants to ask.The two dominating people stayed silent so of course the responsibility to question her fell on him automatically. “It’s just that…can we still meet you and Mattia after you return to Grasse?”He asked after much contemplation and heaved a sigh when she nodded her head with a smile. “You can dad. Mattia wants to meet you as well. Right? Darling.”She said to which the little boy nodded his head, his cheeks stuffed with food and mumbled with his cute voice. “I love your parents mom.”His words made everyone smile but there is heaviness in the air which can’t be ignored but no one dared to address it whilst it backfires them. It’s not that they didn’t want to anger her, it’s just that they are letting her do things in her way.In the past, she lived her life for someone else
Catherine helped Clarissa to unpack her luggage after a rejuvenating talk with her and tried to slip away before Antoine arrives but Clarissa forced her to stay for dinner.She did that at the airport, shoved her into Antoine’s car and she did it again, made her sit beside him at the dining table. People say, friends are angels given by god but why did god send her a devil?“How about I throw a welcome banquet in your name Rissa?”Matilda said out of nowhere while she fed Mattia who sat on Derrick’s lap, enjoying his grandparents royal service.Her words got everyone’s attention and they looked at Clarissa hesitantly, concerned about her opinion.Her sudden absence left a major hole in both personal and professional lives of Matilda and Nicholas.There were many speculations about her after she left to Grasse, leaving them in mess and their companies shares effected greatly. In addition to that, there was no information about Mattia, even Antoine left RISSA essence, Linda le
“What are you planning Rissa?”Catherine asked after they settled down in Clarissa’s room. Mattia is busy playing with his grandparents and Nicholas flew to his company after dropping them and told that he will join them for dinner. As for Antoine, he missed RISSA essence, especially his laboratory, so he drove to the company, only after coaxing Matilda as she was mad at him for leaving her and the RISSA essence. Her mama is stubborn and refused to talk to him but who can resist the French man’s charm?She of course forgave him when he started flirting with her and flattered her with his cheeky words. “What do you mean?”Clarissa asked, confused about her question. She had just unpacked the luggage and started sorting out the clothes in the closet.Though it’s a new house, she didn’t feel remote because it is similar to the house she previously lived in with her mama and Antoine. The house is beautiful with warm sunlight illuminating in the living room. It’s cosy and c
Matilda and Derrick stood outside their residence which they bought together five years ago to spend their rest of the life, their eyes eagerly waiting for someone. The scorching sun above their heads burnt their skin but still they refused to retreat because the joy they are feeling is nothing compared to the blistering weather outside.Derrick wiped his sweat, checking the time on his wrist watch for the nth time, his heart racing faster than a horse.Why is the time running slow?It’s like the minute’s hand is stubborn to move forward.“Do you think the flight landed?”He asked, worried that there is a delay in the flight arrival.“Yes! Catherine texted me. They are on the way.”Matilda said, her slightly wrinkled face beaming with happiness as she cranked her neck, looking at the front gate with anticipation.The airport is close to their house, so they should be here by now. Derrick sighed in relief, feeling relaxed after knowing that the flight has landed safely and
Clarissa walked out from behind the curtain and stood in the doorway, folding her hands and leaned on the doorframe, looking at Nicholas who rested on the recliner with his eyes closed, his hands neatly folded on his stomach.The weather is chilly outside and her body became cold from the cold winds but there isn’t slightest reaction in him.He just laid there like a divine god.“How long are you going to stand there and watch me sleep?Nicholas asked, still with his eyes closed and Clarissa smiled dropping her hands to her sides and leaned her head on the doorframe. “Do I need to answer you?”She asked and watched as his lips stretched into a smile.“It’s freezing outside, go back to your room.”He said without turning to her but Clarissa made her way towards him and sat on his lap, making him open his eyes in shock and surprise.Nicholas removed his hands from his stomach as she bent towards him, leaning on his chest, her hand burying in his ruffled hair.“What about you?
Clarissa woke up from her deep slumber as she suddenly felt stuffy in her heart and sat up, rubbing her forehead. She checked the time and sighed, leaning back on the headboard. It’s just two. She looked at Mattia who is sleeping soundly beside her and smiled before planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. The boy played till midnight with Nicholas before collapsing on her and fell asleep quickly. Naughty boy.Her eyes fell on the empty spot beside Mattia as she thought about Nicholas. Of course he is not here because as soon as Mattia sleeps, he has to leave her room and should sleep on the couch in the living room. She looked at the empty spot for a long time, feeling lost inside, the stuffiness growing heavy in her heart the more she thought about Nicholas.He used to be cold and arrogant in the past, always finding reasons to blame her but now he is like a brand new version of a better man.But the thing is, she doesn’t want him to change.He doesn’t need to bend his pri
Nicholas humiliated Clarissa as much as he can, pushed her limits countless times, played with her emotions but never once she expressed her dislike or resisted him or fought back.Her submissive nature, her endurance, her stubbornness made him take her for granted, encouraged him to play with her

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
