로그인Antoine looked at the women sitting in the back seat of his Mercedes, sticking their bodies close to the windows like opposite poles of a magnet, keeping safe distance, looking out at the passing buildings deep in thoughts.He frowned, feeling confused by their silence and deliberate distance between them. After exiting Brooks hospital, he got a call from Matilda as she literally barked at him to pick them up from Nicholas’s place and he wasted no time to reach them in minutes.He was in a good mood as he spent some quality time with Catherine but as soon as he came across their ashen faces, he knew the dinner's a disaster. Anything related to Romanos just burns down like their now withered faces. What the fuck really happened?He’s tempted to ask them but is afraid of getting murdered by their looks so he drove them back home quietly, keeping his curiosity in check, pressing his lips tight.The second he parked the car in the stand, both women jumped down in a huff and stor
***Warning***Mature content ahead.***********Dante and Zita bid farewell to Nicholas after Andersons left without clarifying things. The dinner was untouched and became cold but no one seemed to have an appetite after an eventful night. The day was chaotic with divorce news and the night is a puzzle with many unresolved issues. Once left alone, Nicholas felt hollowness as he stared at his empty house which screamed Clarissa’s presence at every corner.The indoor plants, the furniture, the interior design, even the dining hall where he always finds her when he comes back home deliberately late reminded him of how much he ignored her intentionally, at the same time registered every detail.He looked at the empty vase in the living room which used to be filled with amaryllis and sighed.She would personally set the vase with his favourite flowers, hoping to get an ounce of his affection but he always shattered her hopes because he was scared of falling for her.His life is
There 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
