Se connecterAntoine put on his jacket and set his hair with his fingers before spraying the perfume around his neck and stepped out of his bedroom. He came to the kitchen and took the bread from the basket, taking two big bites hurriedly and checked the time on his wrist watch. Clarissa slapped his hand which is trying to take another bread piece and glared at him for stealing food. The party hasn’t started yet and he is eating already. Greedy cat.Antoine winked at her playfully and quickly stole a grape from the fruit bowl before popping it in his mouth and left the kitchen, saving himself from another hit. “I am off to get the cake and pastries. Do you want anything to add to the list?”He asked, grabbing the car keys from the wall hooks near the door and wrapped the shawl around his neck, getting ready to go out. “Yes! Here.”Clarissa shouted from the kitchen and ran out with a list in her hand and handed it over to him .“Come back soon.”She said walking him to the door and A
Clarissa woke up the next day, her heart jumping in excitement to celebrate her boy’s birthday. She kissed her sleeping son on the cheek and quickly washed herself before stepping out to do the arrangements for the big day. “Bonjour!”Antoine greeted, entering the kitchen, his voice hoarse and squinted his sleepy eyes at the woman who is actively roaming in the kitchen, her hands skilfully cooking the breakfast. “Bonjour!”Clarissa greeted back, not sparing him a glance as she cut the fruits like a master chef.Being a mother promoted her from businesswoman to a chef and she enjoys feeding her son with her hand cooked food. “Sorry! I woke up late. Bad dreams.”Antoine said as he dragged the chair from the counter and slumped his body on it, his hands clutching his hair as though he is hit by a hangover. Clarissa’s hands paused for a second as she lifted her head to look at her friend, her brows furrowing in worry.“Pour yourself a cup of coffee.”She said, pointing at
Antoine stood in the living room, looking at the decorations with a smile and sighed. Clarissa had been planning this for a week but her one mistake ruined the surprise.She cannot be blamed though because the boy is too smart.He put the remaining scattered decorative items in the box and put it away before going to the kitchen, to get the vase and set it in the middle of the coffee table.It’s done. He retreated to his room after turning off the lights in the living room and laid on his bed, closing his eyes to get some sleep but it is far away from him.He looked at the ceiling, deep in thoughts, his heart wavering, struggling to push away the unwanted memories but they are rushing back like a tsunami.It’s Mattia’s birthday. A day of joy and happiness. Something to celebrate and have fun but it is also the day he experienced a heartbreak for the first time in his life. A terrible one precisely. It has been five years since the incident happened yet his heart ached whene
Five years later…The moon peeked through the clouds, illuminating the city with it’s moonlight, accompanying the floral fields of Grasse to survive the night.The temperature dropped to sixteen degrees celsius despite the summer as the city is located in the hills above the sea level.As night drew darker, the winds carried the floral scents to each and every door in the city, spreading the purity of divine fragrances. A woman in her mid - thirties, closed the window of her bedroom, blocking the winds and looked at the little figure sleeping on her bed.When she didn’t find any movements, she heaved a sigh and smiled in victory, successfully putting her devil to sleep.Mission accomplished.Yay!She clapped her hands silently for succeeding in finishing her task but heard faint, distort noises coming from the living room and rushed out hurriedly, her steps soft and steady, afraid to wake up the devil.“Hush!! What are you doing idiot?”She scolded the man who is busy sorti
The 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
“S'il te plaît, Matilda. Ressaisis-toi. On trouvera une solution.”(Please, Matilda. Pull yourself together. We’ll find a solution.)Antoine said as he rubbed her back soothingly, trying to ease her tension. They knew Nicholas will get to them in one way or the other but they didn’t expect him
Clarissa looked at the conference room which is in disarray at the mentioning of the voting and gripped the armrest tight, popping out her veins, her knuckles turning white. Her heart sank, thinking of the consequences about her actions and trembled, feeling her mama’s glare from behind even thro
The conference room fell into dead silence when Matilda took over the charge of the meeting, startling everyone with her presence, especially Clarissa who stood like she was struck by lightning. She didn’t expect her mama to monitor her every move in the company otherwise how did she manage to ta
Antoine never in his dreams expected Clarissa to take Nicholas’s side. He supported her and lied to Matilda about the Defiliation documents. The sly fox didn’t sign them but to protect Clarissa, he hid the truth from his godmother and agreed with Clarissa’s lies but he didn’t ask for her decept
