LOGINThe operation theatre is close to Clarissa’s room because Catherine wanted it to be like that as it would be easier for patients and the doctors for quick access in case of emergencies. It is also one of the reasons why Clarissa is so brave to delay her delivery so that she can corner Nicholas into answering her. And she appreciated herself for her insistence because she got what she always wanted. His answer and his love.She can doubt his words but he never lied to her. Be it his hatred or his desire, he has always been honest with his feelings towards her and she believes in him now.In addition to that, he has no reason to lie because he got his company, he got the merge and the board is satisfied with him.He is set to rule his empire for years to come. No one can bring him down, not even his parents because his success rate is unmatchable to anyone. If he wants to leave her, this is the best opportunity to walk away from her but he stayed. It proves his love and she fe
The doctors set the operation theatre for Clarissa to walk in. She was dressed in the hospital gown and the nurse put an IV drip on her, preparing her for the delivery. When Clarissa was all set to go, she stopped at the door way and looked at Nicholas who is holding her waist, supporting her body to move. “Stop!”She said, her face damp with sweat, her cheeks flushed for holding back her screams.Everyone halted in their tracks and turned back to look at her, giving her body a once over, thinking that she is having trouble to walk but her next words cleared their suspicion and they moved forward a little, giving the couple space. “Do you love me?”Clarissa asked, stubbornly delaying her delivery.She came this far and yet, he gave her no answer.She maybe in no position to think about her personal life but it’s crucial to her. Nicholas didn’t know how to react to her question because she is on the verge of giving birth to their child and here she is in the mood to conf
“Sorry for the interruption.” Catherine said after she entered the room and is shocked to see her friend, getting served by the powerful figures in the business world. She just stepped away for few hours and they managed to coax her stubborn friend. Not bad. All heads turned to her side and gave her space when she made her way towards the bed. “I am here to check her dilation.” She said and walked to Clarissa’s feet. She put her gloved hand into her dress and checked the opening. When she pulled her hand out and looked at the anticipation in everyone’s eyes, she shook her head in disappointment. “Just five.” She said, making Clarissa whine and she threw her head back in displeasure. “Why is it not opening?” She complained with a sulking face and looked at Catherine, demanding her like she is the cause of her pain. Catherine widened her eyes in amusement, not knowing how to react to her friend’s tantrums. Is she serious? It has only been ten hours and she i
Clarissa experienced heartbreaks, the pain was unbearable and she felt there could be no pain which is comparable to what she had been through but this, the labour, it’s excruciating.She felt her bones breaking each time the contractions came and her insides are twisted into a knot, making her difficult to breathe.She bit her inner cheeks, restraining herself from screaming as she didn’t want to scare the baby inside with her loud screams and endured the pain but she didn’t know how long can she hold back.“Rissa…”Matilda whispered in concern, worried to see her little girl in agony.She wants to take her baby into her arms and wipe her sweat, whisper her to calm down but her hands are tied and she blamed herself for prioritising her revenge than her baby's feelings.How can she not love Clarissa?She is her only daughter and never wanted to give birth to another child because she didn’t want to share her love with anyone and Derrick felt the same. They never looked for a
In Brooks hospital....“I was just joking when I said you will get into labour tonight. I didn’t expect my words to come true.”Catherine joked as she walked into the private room in the hospital with medical reports in her hand and greeted the people inside the room with a bright smile.“Argh…”Clarissa groaned softly as she started to sweat, the contractions painful but bearable and glared at her friend who is in the mood to joke about her condition.“I hate you Catherine Brooks.”She grunted as the contractions died down, giving her time to breathe and took deep breaths.God! She saw many child birth videos and knew the labour would be painful but it’s killing her. And she is still at an early phase and yet to reach the final stage. Only heavens should know how she can endure the pain then.Catherine chuckled at her friend’s fury and came to her side, looking down at the panting woman with a smile. She was about to go home after closing her cases when Matilda called he
‘Mama! Please…it’s my birthday. I want to see dad.’‘It’s new year mama. How about we invite dad for dinner?’‘I made this perfume for dad. Shall I send it to him mama?’‘Mama…I miss dad. Can you call him?’Clarissa recalled all her memories, the painful ones where she always begged her mama to call her dad when she was sick, hoping he would come running to her, knowing that she was suffering with high temperature but her mama was hard as rock, refusing to contact her dad.There was once she was admitted to the hospital because of stubborn fever and had an IV drip. She missed her dad so much and wished to have him by her side but knew her mama would reject her like always.So, she took the nurse's phone and called her dad when her mama was talking to the doctor about her condition. The call was connected and her dad answered the call but when he heard her voice, he cut the call immediately and when she tried to call him again, the call straight went to voice mail. Just why d
“Welcome Mrs. Romano.”The security at the Romano group entrance greeted Clarissa as soon as she stepped out of her Bentley and bowed to her respectfully. She smiled at them with a nod, acknowledging their greetings and walked around the car, knocking on the passenger seat window. The window r
Matilda detested Nicholas’s devious actions of using her daughter to form an alliance between them which is impossible to even dream about. Why didn’t he approach her first with the contract? This is one of his tactics. Using her daughter’s weakness to benefit his company. She isn’t intereste
Clarissa felt like she’s sitting on pins and needles when she saw her mama going through every page of the contract with her scrutinised eyes. The clock ticked behind her, scaring her with the stretching silence and glanced at Antoine who just started to feel uncomfortable at Matilda’s calmness.
Clarissa and Antoine sat at the dining table, opposite to each other, staring at the file Nicholas gave them, which is now placed on the table, waiting for Matilda to review. The drive back to home is worse than waiting in Nicholas’s office because they’re afraid of Matilda. What would she do i
