All Chapters of Unforgettable Fragrance : His Burning Desire: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Clarissa stood in front of the conference room in Rissa essence where the board is waiting for her to attend the annual strategic meeting. Her mama would’ve done it for her but the board insisted, demanding for her to host the meeting. It’s probably to criticize her for the lack of strength to be fit for acting CEO position. For the past two weeks, her mama worked tirelessly, to make her work easier when she returns, giving her time to recover from her injury but the time is up now and she has to fulfil her role as the temporary head of the company. “Regardez-moi, Rissa.”Antoine said, holding Clarissa’s shoulders and turned her to face him. “Don’t be scared. You’ll do great inside.” he said, squeezing her shoulders slightly, to make her feel comfortable but she can’t help the nervous feeling which is threading inside her inch by inch.Because the board is not waiting for just the meeting but to test her abilities, to scrutinize her. It’s an exam for her which she will defin

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 take control over her meeting?The problem is not about being the in charge here but getting caught by her mama.How is she going to manage the situation now? “I do not approve of this collaboration.”Matilda said, her voice non negotiable as looked at the people in the room with her sharp eyes. When no one dared to defy her, she took a deep breath and controlled her rage before opening her mouth again. “Let’s drop the discussion. Period.”She said, intending to end the meeting but Savannah Pugh, the lady who encouraged the board and Clarissa a while ago raised her hand, expressing her objection. “Why Matilda?”She said, hiding the smirk behind her frown and leaned forward, placin

“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 to use Clarissa against them. Until a week ago, even he was thrilled to work with Nicholas but after hearing Matilda’s past, he changed his mind and told Clarissa to never speak to the sly fox but she went behind their back. Forget about him, Clarissa didn’t even hesitate to backstab her own mother. How cruel?Matilda always felt that her daughter is her pride but she faced a backlash for the first time in her life because of her. Clarissa stood few steps away from them, her body trembling at the sight of her mama who sat on the sofa with her head lowered, eyes closed, fingers pinching the space between her brows, concealing the tension in her body with her straight back. Even thr

‘Trust me Clarissa.’‘Do as I said.’‘The board will accept you.’Those are the words Nicholas said to Clarissa and she blindly believed in him. She thought he’s helping her with her company but it’s all a trap. Nicholas’s trap. He’s doing this to keep his Romano group with him and like a fool she believed that he’s doing this for her.Every word, every smile, every gesture, his kindness, it’s all a façade. He’s just laying down brick by brick to achieve his goal. “Even our divorce announcement.”She repeated her words with distorted voice, her world spinning around as the truth tightened the rope around her throat, choking her hard, making it difficult for her to breathe. “Exactly! He’s securing his position as CEO.”Antoine didn’t stop even after seeing Clarissa’s condition and continued to spit the bitter facts which are like stabs to her. He too believed that Nicholas is falling for Clarissa when he saw their chemistry in the Romano group but only after hearing Mat

Matilda stood with her heart hanging on rope as she saw her daughter on the hospital bed with a pale face. She looked so fragile and slept curling her body like a baby which shook her heart. Her actions of supporting Nicholas did anger her and she locked herself in the bedroom but never expected something to happen to Clarissa.Only heavens knew how guilty she’s to turn off her mobile, disabling the contact thread and her heart didn’t stop thumping until she saw her daughter with her own eyes. “How is she doing, Catherine?”She asked, approaching the bed slowly, her hands trembling by her sides as she got close. Catherine closed the reports file and scoffed at Matilda who is staring at Clarissa with guilt filled eyes. What’s the use of coming now? Where was she when Clarissa was burning with fever and drove to her alone, enduring the pain in her abdomen?“Why do you care?”She said, her voice sharp and distant as if she’s talking to strangers and sat beside Clarissa, l
