He is saying that he realised his feelings for her after the divorce and wanted to come to her when he succeeded in impregnating her but stopped because of her dad and Natalie.How is that convincing? Fine! Maybe he really was a saint and wanted to protect her and the baby from malicious women like Natalie and Linda but there are still so many things he did which can’t be forgiven. She didn’t struggle to get rid of him because she knew it’s useless to waste her energy when he held her in an iron hold which he uses to keep her in a place. Since he wants to get on her nerves, let her grant his wish.“Forget about divorce Nicholas. You took advantage of my vulnerability.”She said, boring her gaze into hi
The divorce had always been the plan.Feelings, love, longing had no place in Nicholas’s heart. His only goal is the Romano group. But Clarissa had a great effect on him.Her absence was like a leash on him, pulling him back to her and when his heart wavered, urging him to go to her, Derrick came to him with bombarding facts.And when he told him about the divorce, the old man was devastated but later he came to consensus with the situation because keeping Clarissa out of Nicholas’s life felt the right thing.When he can’t give her love, there is no point in dragging her with him. That’s what Derrick said. The poor man didn’t know that he already fell head over heels for his daughter and refused to file the petition in the court. Nicholas looked down into Clarissa’s eyes, whose eyes are filled with confusion and stroked her cheek, her soft skin feeling velvety under his touch.“That bothered me.”He said, moving his fingers to her tendrils and twirled them between his fing
Nicholas knew getting Clarissa would be the toughest task he has ever dealt with but she is harder than he expected.She is not sweet and kind anymore. She is like a stubborn kitten, brandishing it’s claws the moment he tries to cosy up to her. But he is determined to tame her stubbornness. “Did you not bring me here to hear my explanation?”He asked, finally pulling out his trump card. The purpose of his visit and her agenda to bring him into her room is to listen to his explanation and she is not letting him speak but started shooting him with bullet after the bullet.He knew she is mad at him but at least she should give him a chance to defend himself before passing down the verdict. Clarissa frowned, unwilling to hear his explanation but since she took the initiative to bring him in, she should just let him try his best. “I’m all ears.”She said, folding her arms across her chest and gave him all the attention he needed.“I…”Nicholas stuttered, not expecting her s
Mattia looked at the three elders in the living room with his big doe eyes, confused that why they stood in the corners like they are strangers. He then looked at his mother’s closed bedroom with a frown, not understanding why his mother sent him out and took daddy inside. “Mattia, come here.” Natalie whispered as she gestured him to come to her side and the little boy obeyed, taking tiny steps and approached her. “How about we finish the puzzle together?” She asked, trying to keep Mattia distracted while her sister sorted out her things with Nicholas. Mattia nodded his head in excitement when she talked about the puzzle which he has been working on for a week and quickly ran towards the coffee table in the living room and pulled out the puzzle sheet from beneath. Antoine and Catherine stood on opposite sides, trying to avoid each other as much as possible. Catherine’s outburst is something Antoine didn’t expect but he also didn’t want to dwell into the depths of her w
“Clarissa!”Catherine bellowed, startled by Clarissa’s rudeness. She knew Clarissa has changed in the past five years but she is unrecognizable. The friend she knew won’t ever treat people, even her enemies with such insolent behaviour.Not just Catherine, even Antoine and Natalie were flabbergasted by her actions and stood there stunned, scared by her anger. “Stop being stubborn. Just give him a chance to explain.”She chided her, giving Nicholas a concerned look who is heartbroken by Clarissa’s actions but he stepped forward, raising his hand to stop her from defending him.The more she supports him, the more Clarissa hates him and he didn’t want anyone to take his side. He can solve his own problem. “Are you serious Catherine?”Clarissa retorted, shocked by her words.Catherine knew what she went through because of him and she is still telling her to give that selfish man a chance? She knew Nicholas and Catherine has become good friends over time but she didn’t expe
The door bell disrupted the silence in the living room and Nicholas who is basking in the after glory of disrupting Clarissa’s peace frowned.Who is it at this hour?He adjusted his suit and inserted his hand in his pocket to take out his phone, to check office emails but when he heard the soft childish voice from outside, his body froze and he looked at the door in shock.“Mommy! I am home.”Catherine gasped, her limbs automatically rushing to the door in excitement.Perfect timing.Mattia will be the solution to all their problems. Leaving Grasse it is then.Nicholas stood up, his eyes turning red, his heart thumping with anticipation.It’s Mattia. His son. Just as he took a step forward to answer the door, Clarissa rushed out of her bedroom and gave his extended leg a sharp look, making him retreat and ran towards the door.“Aunt Catherine.”Mattia exclaimed in surprise when he saw her in his house and jumped into her arms, his body thrilling with extreme excitement.
Nicholas stood near the ceiling to floor windows in his office, looking at the buildings outside, his one hand tucked neatly in his pocket while his other hand held the cigarette between his two fingers. The smoke illuminated in the air in vigour, resembling his distress mood. After Natalie lef
Catherine knew Clarissa half her life and is aware of her personality like the back of her hand. She saw her friend fall in love with Nicholas and knew how deeply it rooted in her heart but never once expected to face a day where she has to witness the evaporation of that unconditional love. Ni
The world is full of surprises. It runs with the hearts of billions of people. Likewise, there are circumstances where people tend to run away, far from the calamities which are hard to live in or even get close to.The fear of being in the tornado, the suffocation in tsunami, the struggle of ea
Even a ship with a tiny hole is fated to be drowned into the depths of the ocean even if it costs millions or made of gold. And currently, Nicholas is facing such fate because he’s impeccable in every aspect except he is unkind and lacks compassion.The very reason why Clarissa decided to leave
