Chapter 31 : Catherine’s guilty

“I wonder what would people say when they find out about your divorce.”Catherine said as she looked at the different magazine covers which were scattered on Clarissa’s bed.Matilda and Antoine are at work, dealing with the aftermath of the banquet, leaving Clarissa alone. So Catherine took a break from her duty to pay her a visit, to know about her health and about the unexpected guest at the banquet. It’s so unfortunate that Clarissa has to stay at home right after becoming the acting CEO but she is not in the mood to worry about her professional life as her personal life is at stake and her friend’s remarks aren’t helping her. “Cathie..!!”Came her cold voice from the other end of the room which made Catherine frown and rolled on her back, to see her friend sitting on the sofa, by the window.“What??”She said, holding a magazine up in the air in which Nicholas and Clarissa looked at each other with love filled eyes and pointed it towards her.“Look at these.”She tapp

Chapter 32 : Passed the test

Catherine left Clarissa’s pregnancy report in her bedroom intentionally when they were packing her stuff to leave her wedding house after divorce. She knew all about her friend’s miserable marriage life but she strongly believed that Nicholas wouldn’t let go of Clarissa if he knew that she’s carrying his child.It’s just her intuition and acted on her own by dropping the medical report on the bed in Clarissa’s bedroom, testing him about his feelings.And he passed the test.If he hates Clarissa, why would he even bother to go into her bedroom? And he gained her trust by not publicising their divorce, stalling time with ridiculous reasons and postponed his wedding with Natalie.

Clarissa endured so much pain in her life so she thought to help her, to find her happiness and to make Nicholas realize his feelings. So she

Chapter 33 : Thief

“Take care Rissa.”Catherine said, hugging Clarissa tight and bid her farewell as she got a call from the hospital, patients lining up for her. So they cut their talk short and called it a day. “I sent the medical report to your email.”She informed, putting on her overcoat, the tensed atmosphere from their conversation dismissing slowly at the mention of the baby. Clarissa hummed at her friend in response as she stood at the doorway of her bedroom, seeing Catherine rush out in a hurry. “See you again, love you.”And then she disappeared, fleeing off like a butterfly. “Love you.”Clarissa whispered with a chuckle and closed the door before limping towards the bed and laid down carefully, thinking about Catherine’s words.Can she really bet on her intuition?But she promised her mama to end things with Nicholas. How can she go back on her word? Moreover, Nicholas won’t leave Natalie under any circumstances. It’s as if they were born as a couple, always sticking close to

Chapter 34 : Lavender Candles

Clarissa was neatly tucked in bed when she finally saw Nicholas’s reply and is momentarily stunned, unable to react. What the hell did he mean my running away with his child?How can he address her child as his when he never wanted him/her? And the audacity of him to call her a thief. Her fingers worked faster than her brain and she typed the words, driven by anger and pressed the send key, her lips curled into a gloating smile as if she just won a war. ‘You never wanted a child with me, so save your words and give my hairpin back.’Nicholas has just entered Clarissa’s bedroom in his house when his cell phone buzzed in his pocket with her text but he didn’t rush to see it. She can wait. It pleasures him to see her wait. He closed the door behind him with a soft thud, the smell of lavenders mixed with soothing oils filling his nostrils as he walked deeper into the room. He never set foot into this room unless he needed her physically but after her absence, he’s been com

Chapter 35 : Ma belle

“Are you feeling better honey?”Matilda asked as she stared at her daughter who is gobbling down the food like a glutton.It’s been so long since she saw her relish the food with so much contentment and her heart thumped with ease. “Yes mama.”Clarissa said as she nodded at her mama, her cheeks fully stuffed with wheat bread but she managed to speak, sounding like a three year old kid. The swelling subsidised a little and she can walk without limping but it’s a bit painful and for full recovery, she has to wait a week or two. “Good!”Matilda lowered her head, cutting her toast with knife, her movements slow and composed.“When will you meet Nicholas to close the agreement?”She asked, putting the cut piece in her mouth with a fork and looked at her daughter whose face turned pale, draining all the blood, making Matilda freeze, her hands stopping in mid-air.Just mentioning about the agreement drew such a strong reaction from her. How can she survive if she can’t control h

Chapter 36 : Phone call

Clarissa waited in the living room, cursing Antoine while he went to see the visitors through security camera. He stood at the door, with one hand placed on the wall while he answered the door phone with the other and saw three men, dressed in black suits, standing outside the main gate of their property and frowned. Who the hell are they? “Excuse me!”He said through the video call and the people on the other side, stood in their positions before bowing to him as a greeting. One of them stepped forward, taking the lead to talk. “Good morning sir. We are here to take Ms. Anderson.”Antoine’s frown deepened, hearing his words because who are they to take Clarissa?He spotted a black van behind them, making his suspicions grow more. If Matilda wanted to get Clarissa, she would’ve directly called him or her daughter but won’t send these strangers to her house. Something is fishy. He put his finger on the emergency button ready to press it if the men tried to intrude an

Chapter 37 : Cancel the meetings

Nicholas quickly finished signing the documents and gave the file back to his assistant after Clarissa’s phone call.He didn’t utter a word or expressed his opinion on the conversation but just dove into work like the phone call didn’t matter to him.Victor on the other side is very much excited, his insides twitching with anticipation because it’s been months since Ms. Anderson came to the company and can’t wait to see her take back her right as Mrs. Romano. “Cancel all the meetings for today.”Nicholas said, taking off his glasses and picked up the lens cleanser from his desk before spraying it on the surface of the lenses and wiped them gently with the microfiber napkin. His movements smooth and controlled as his long fingers cleansed the glasses in dignified demeanour. “But boss?..”Victor's face grew tensed because he scheduled a meeting with the Cooper Corporation AKA Derrick and Linda in an hour, to discuss about the renewal of the contract between their companies.D

Chapter 38 : Good manners

“Ms. Anderson!”Victor stood up from his chair as soon as he spotted Clarissa outside his cabin and approached her with a huge smile, his eyes widening in surprise and glee. “I’m glad to see you. It’s been a long time.”He said, bowing to her respectfully, giving her the respect she deserved as the mistress of Romano group.Clarissa acknowledged his greeting with a smile which she always carried with ease. She didn’t have to practice it because it just comes to her naturally when she’s faced with the people who makes her comfortable. “You’re right. How are you doing, Victor? How’s your wife?”She inquired him about his family, as she vaguely remembered the cute plump lady who he once brought to Nicholas’s birthday party. Victor dropped his jaw in shock, hearing her words because it’s really unbelievable that she remembered his wife. She only met her once but she still remembered her. His heart fluttered with exhilaration because even his boss never cared of him like the

Chapter 39 : Dark secret

In Cooper Corporation…..Derrick and Linda sat comfortably on the sofa in Derrick’s office, waiting for Nicholas to join the meeting but the screen in front of them remained blank even after five minutes past the schedule time. They waited for another five minutes, brushing the late attendance as a technical error but still there is no sign of Nicholas, making Linda boil with rage. She quickly took out her mobile and dialed Nicholas but the phone is turned off. “Fuck!”She cursed, her fingers scrolling through the contact list impatiently and dialed Victor.She waited for the call to connect, her brows furrowed in annoyance, the makeup forming wrinkles on her forehead and at the corner of her eyes, making her look ugly.Derrick on the other hand sat beside her, stretching his body lazily, his mood brightening after seeing Linda’s agitated face. He really wish to thank Nicholas for rattling her up. “Victor, what the fuck is wrong with your boss?”Linda ranted at Victor a

Chapter 40 : Little Punishment

Clarissa never felt waiting to be terrible because in the past, her heart would be filled with anticipation, excited to meet Nicholas but now she can’t wait to leave his office because the closed space is suffocating her and her ears almost exploded from the deafening silence. She looked at the man behind the desk who is working seriously and sighed for the nth time, feeling annoyed. She didn’t understand why she acted like a fool and sat here, waiting for him like she did in the past. She’s not his wife to please him anymore. She’s here to talk about the agreement and to get back her mama’s hairpin and should do that without delay but why can’t she move her body?It’s like something’s binding her limbs, forcing her to just sit, her eyes gluing to Nicholas but he didn’t spare her a glance not even once just like always.He knew she’s here, waiting for him anxiously but he fucking said or did nothing as if her existence didn’t matter to him as much as the file in his hand.
