LOGINThere is a phrase called ‘Instant regret’ and Nicholas happened to experience the meaning of it because he regretted his words as soon as he saw the disappointment on his wife’s face.It was too late to take back.He didn’t mean to say that to Matilda but that’s how the truth sounds. Harsh and brutal.“Nicholas!”Clarissa called out, her eyes glaring at him and pulled back her hand abruptly, startling him with her strength.He sighed at her anger and pinched the space between his eyebrows, feeling tired. “I really don’t wish to see your mama’s downfall Clarissa.”He said helplessly, his voice soft and coaxing but Clarissa’s anger didn’t diminish.He sighed again, holding out his hand to take back her hand but she dodged his touch, turning her face away. Seriously?“You know how the board will react if they lose Romano group’s deal.”He tried to explain the severity of the problem with all the patience in the world unlike his rude, straightforward self and his parents fel
***Warning***Mature content ahead.**********In Nicholas’s wedding house…..Clarissa stood between her mama and Nicholas, her hands held by them correspondently, reluctant to let go and she sighed helplessly, her legs shaking from the sex and the exchange of heated words between them. She didn’t want to suffocate in the middle but none of them seemed to care about that fact.One side, her mama is adamant to be in the same room as Romanos, her hatred for them is evident from her tone, her eyes, her words and fucking every cell of her body frantically screams disgust whenever she faces them.And on the other side, Nicholas who never takes a no for an answer and drives his world with the determination to possess everything he laid his eyes on. Two stubborn heads and she couldn’t handle them both, not when she’s in a state of muddle headed and lacks the sense to pass down the judgement. She can’t trust herself because she’s vulnerable and her mind is filled with numerous tho
Linda paced around her study in circles, her brain working fast to find a solution to her problem. She is alone. She is alone.She is alone. She chanted the words, as if they gives her strength.Fuck! She is alone. So what? She was alone when she cooked millions of plans to seduce Gael and Derrick, to deceive Romanos and setting up her daughter with Nicholas.She was all alone and never looked for a helping hand. Why does she need one now?She was alone when she instigated her boyfriend Gael to invest on Derrick because she knew the coward is a genius and can earn them a fortune with his super brain.But the stupid Gael chose simplicity over popularity. He said no to fame and stayed indoors while Derrick shone brightly like a star.She couldn’t watch him and Matilda live a glamorous life, out in the open, while she led a secret life with Gael.She was jealous, angry and desperate to be seen, to be recognised as a respectful lady, to be envied by other woman who couldn’t
The moonlight descended the city like a thick coat of paint on a ceramic vessel, hard and dark.The bustling roads reared to a mindful of vehicles, still roaming the night life while the couples took a stroll on pavements after a delightful dinner dates, along with few late night workers. Joshua, the editor in chief of CNN, looked out of the window from the backseat of the taxi as he headed to the airport.The guilt, the regret and more than that the remorse clouded his face as he took out his mobile from the pocket, his palms damp with sweat, a mist formed on his forehead as he fished out the contact.His wrinkled forehead creased at the sight of her name on the screen, his finger hesitant to click on the call sign. His heart hammered against his chest heavily and in the closed space of the car, it echoed in his ears vigorously.Without wasting a second, he slid his thumb to call, putting the phone near his ear, his hand trembling, his head tilted back to watch the cars behin
Dante lived for some sixty years yet there is not a soul on this earth who dared to talk back at him let alone blackmail him but Matilda, the woman has got some nerves. She is challenging his pride and he couldn’t digest it. “You sure? Aren’t you afraid of public criticism?”He said, simply stating the facts.The divorce almost ruined the shares of their companies in just hours and if they release another statement, accepting the divorce, they will become the laughingstock of the people.Hours of hard work would go in vain and the trust they build over the years will break in a second. They will become the victims of public criticism, especially RISSA essence.Romano group will of course face a backlash but it won’t be as severe as what Matilda will face. “Don’t flatter yourself too much Dante.”Matilda rebuked as she scoffed at his remarks.She knows about the damage her company will face if she dares to go against Romano group but she also knows how to control the dam
The Romanos and Matilda sat in the living room leisurely, waiting for Nicholas and Clarissa to come down. The air is thick and anyone can smell the gunpowder from miles away as Matilda is at odds with Dante because of the divorce and his warning afterwards. Zita sat with her legs crossed, scrutinising Matilda with her sharp eyes, not liking her arrogance.She didn’t like to see her sit in peace, totally unbothered by the fact that she caused a havoc in the dining hall. The audacity of her to mock her about the dinner. “Did you instigate your daughter to propose the divorce, Matilda?”She asked, sarcasm dripping from her tone but there is a hint of displeasure in her words.She never cared about her son’s personal life but marriage is not a trivial thing and she felt Clarissa is the one but now, the divorce news really angered her. Especially when there is the heir. Matilda rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed by her voice. She can’t wait to leave this place. “Why don’t
