ANMELDENThe highly anticipated dinner which was organized to celebrate Clarissa’s pregnancy is ruined and the food left untouched as the divorce news shocked Romanos.Dante left the dining hall, commanding Nicholas to follow him to the upstairs while Clarissa lost her appetite and disappeared into the living room not before giving her mother a look of disappointment. She thought to deal with Romanos delicately but her mother chose rough route and now, she didn’t know what Dante will do to her and the baby.Matilda can feel her daughter’s distress but she is not worried about the baby’s custody because she has everything planned.She was the one who told the Romanos about Clarissa’s pregnancy because she want them to swim in the glory of becoming grandparents before drowning them deep into the depths of the ocean. They cannot get the custody of her grandchild because Nicholas divorced her daughter while she is pregnant which shows his distrustful personality.He is unfit to be a father. Tho
Clarissa lost her patience when Nicholas blamed her mother about the divorce announcement and only felt disgust as she thought about his selfishness.How far can he go to make his parents believe in him?If he cannot accept the things he did, what right does he have to talk about them? How easy for him to turn the tide as if he has every right to do so?He cannot use her mother to his own benefits. She won’t let him. “Don’t you dare blame my mama Nicholas.”She said coldly, looking at him with her stormy eyes, finally opening her mouth to talk back at him. “She didn’t tip the media.”She didn’t care about the looks she’s getting from his in-laws and Nicholas and scolded her malicious ex-husband.She had enough of his lies. She cannot tolerate him anymore. “It’s you who used the media to marry my step sister.”Matilda smirked as Nicholas’s face turned ashen and felt proud of her daughter.At last her baby girl came to defend her. She cannot ask more from her. “Bullshi
The dining hall fell into dead silence as Matilda started to rebuke Dante, shocking everyone sitting at the dining table. Clarissa can only look at her mother in fear, scared that Romanos would do something to her for talking back to the head of Romano family. But none of her concerns mattered to Matilda as she burst out, exposing Nicholas’s lies, determined to defeat him and his parents for being the villains of her and her daughter’s lives. She looked at Nicholas who is shooting daggers at her side and scoffed, pushing away the empty plate in front of her. “How hideous of him to shamelessly deny the divorce?”“Stop!”Nicholas warned her in a heartbeat, not liking her interference in his life. She may be the mother of Clarissa but she didn’t have right to talk about the divorce.“NO!”Matilda yelled back, resolute in her decision.Dante and Zita exchanged few glances, confused by her words. What did she mean by denying the divorce? Dante immediately turned to his son
All pairs of eyes in the dining room fell on Nicholas while his gaze fixed on Clarissa who is glancing at him from the corner of her eye. He clenched his fist on his knee, suppressing his urge to strangle her because he knew what she was trying to say to his parents before his arrival.His mood which was spoiled from her words earlier worsened as her determination to cut ties with him became strong. He is amused by her courage to sit with his parents and talk about the divorce brazenly. What should he do about her stubbornness? “Excuse me for keeping you waiting.”He apologized everyone like a gentleman and adjusted his chair, making Romanos smile at his curtsy. They knew their son is a gentleman. “Shall we start the dinner?”Zita said as she took the salad bowl and served herself some before passing the bowl to her husband.“Sure.”Nicholas started to fill his plate while the servants who are waiting in the corner came forward and filled their glasses with drinks bef
The clock ticked as Catherine stared at Antoine for quiet a while without moving from her place and admired his sharp French genes. The tiredness from the surgery has long gone as she basked in the glory of his presence and heaved a sigh, feeling relaxed just to see him sleep peacefully.The calmness in her heart, the serenity around her, the comfortable silence in the room engulfed her like a thick blanket, making her feel content. She didn’t want to name the feelings arousing inside her because of Antoine but she’s sure of one thing. She likes him. “How long are you going to watch me sleep?”Antoine’s husky voice startled Catherine and she stood up straight, surprised to know that he’s awake. He still has his eyes closed but there is a teasing smile playing on his lips as he sensed her distress. The thought of her watching him sleep pleased him and opened his eyes to see her red, embarrassed face who is now looking at him with her fury eyes. He chuckled at her cute fac
Clarissa.A soft, gentle, kind woman she is. But she turned gloomy because of him. Nicholas Romano. He thought Clarissa plays no significant role in his life but she’s more than he imagined. Before their divorce, she was nothing, a nobody but now, she suddenly became very important to him.Perhaps, it has something to do with the argument they had in her office.Till then, he was confident in her love but after that day, a strange feeling, an empty hole was created in his heart when she said she is done with him.For the first time, he feared about something other than his Romano group.The fear of losing her is excruciatingly painful and without his knowledge, he started to care about her, expressing his hidden feelings.
