LOGINNicholas didn’t have any ill intentions when he crossed his finger across Clarissa’s lips but the way she gasped and parted her lips, it’s a fatal temptation.Why the fuck is she looking at him with those innocent eyes?And it only pushed his dominant trait to devour his prey. He pulled back his hand, burying it deep in his pockets, his fingers twitching at the loss of her warm velvety lips and took a deep breath.“Hear me out.” He said, restraining himself from pouncing on her. “No. I..”Clarissa who came back to her senses after losing his touch protested but he cut her off. “I said HEAR ME OUT.”She flinched at his coldness and took a step back in fear.How can she forget about who he is?In the past, she didn’t even have the courage to look him in the eyes, let alone raise her voice at him.A frustrated sigh left his lips when he saw her sad face and cupped her cheeks, lifting her head to look into her eyes. “I would never belittle you Clarissa.”He said, his voi
Clarissa hates the life of being on the spotlight, the attention, the crowd, the fame, the lights, the cameras, she just hates it.She spent her childhood, staying away from the public eye to respect her own privacy and always set some ground rules to stop her mama from dragging her into her world. The business world.Her marriage with Nicholas helped her with the inferior complexity and she began to embrace the attention but she didn’t let that get into her head whilst she gets obsessed with the power.And her divorce with Nicholas gave her mama a chance to break her rules.She just sat her down on the throne without proper training and it was to get back at him for leaving her behind.It was hard to understand the things about her company as she never paid attention to it but she tried and worked hard to be a part of it.The board accepted her, her employees respected her and it only took Nicholas a minute to ruin it for her and made her look like a clown.He proved that she
Nicholas felt enormous joy as he walked out of the meeting room gloriously with his woman.Actually, he has got no reason to come all the way to RISSA essence, leaving his work behind, dumping it on his assistant, Victor.The reason is very simple.He wanted to see Clarissa and wishes to spend some time with her.Ever since he realized his feelings towards her, he is finding it hard to control himself from seeing her or craving her presence around him. It’s like the bridge has broken between them which he built over years and there are no obstacles to stop him from having her in his life. And coupled with the fact that she was the girl who saved him from decades ago, he lost his resolve and he felt like he freed himself from a cage.The one in which he unintentionally locked himself for years.If he hadn’t told Natalie the whole story about his kidnap, Linda wouldn’t have altered the facts and he wouldn’t have promised her to look after Natalie all his life.It was such a f
Clarissa can hardly believe her eyes because from the moment Nicholas entered the board room, her mind went blank and she felt like she landed in a la la land fantasy. It has only been ten minutes since they texted each other and here he is, clouding her space. Why did he come to her company?And what did he mean by he is here for her?And how shameless can he be to say ridiculous words in the presence of board?She gulped when his dark eyes met with hers and dodged him, embarrassed by her behaviour of ogling at him. God!She must’ve looked like crazy with drooling lips and owl eyes.“Sorry to spoil the fun.”Matilda said, getting Nicholas’s attention who is busy coveting her daughter.She is outraged by his audacity of disturbing her meeting and she won’t like it if he advances further. “She can’t come with you. We are in a board meeting.”She emphasised the meaning, clearly and bluntly telling him to fuck off.Nicholas isn’t offended by her rudeness but the board di
“Are we clear so far?”Matilda asked after finishing her presentation.She never felt this tired in her entire life because she put extra efforts in drafting the contract with Romano group as she didn’t want any complications in the future.Of course she has always been careful in all her collaborations but this particular one consumed all her energy.But she has no regrets in this regards because something good happened to her recently and she didn’t want to ruin her happiness because of Romanos.When the board didn’t rise doubts, she took their silence as a yes and continued with the meeting, revising the contract once more.But when she is half way through, the door to the conference hall is pushed open from the outside.All heads turned towards the doorway, frowning at the disturbance and saw Lara Jane who works in secretary department outside the conference hall. “Sorry for the interruption Ms. Anderson. I…”Lara quickly apologized, bowing her head, scared by the displeased look
The board members of RISSA essence gathered in the conference hall for the meeting after lunch. The same one which Antoine told Clarissa to look forward to. Matilda graced the host seat and gestured her assistant to provide the members with the files she prepared ahead. After reading the contents, the board nodded in delight, satisfied by Matilda’s decision and exchanged a knowing look among them. “Have you seen the contract?”Matilda asked after a while, giving the board enough time to bask in the pleasure of attaining the billion dollar deal.Her eyes scanned the room, amused by the gloating faces of her board.Are they really that desperate to work with Romano group?Fuck them and their hotels. She doesn’t understand what spell Nicholas cast on her people to make them go against her who they worked with for two decades. And for what? The merge?The VVIP access card to all Romano hotels?It’s the bullshit. She should not let him get to her but here she is, with a
The office fell into an awkward silence with Zita’s narcissistic comment, making Matilda and Antoine roll their eyes at her arrogance.If only she looks at her own background before bragging about Romano’s history. She’s the perfect example of ‘personality change after gaining power.’Unlike Ma
“You look pretty but beauty can’t rule the world, especially Romano group.”Clarissa shivered at the sharp voice that came above her and shut her eyes, her body trembling at the intimidating presence of her soon to be father-in-law.She clenched the bouquet of white roses in her hands, her head l
Nicholas Romano, a man of self control and a nobleman with good manners and poised elegance. He’s unshakable and ruthless to those who tries to harm him or his people but today, something has happened. The thirty seconds time he spent inside the elevator to reach the ground floor after hearing
The entire ride to the Romano group is filled with silence and dread as no one uttered a single word. Matilda who used to boss around others felt intimidated by her daughter for the first time and sat in the back seat, sticking her body close to the door, afraid of provoking her raging daughter.
