All eyes were fixed on Cara and Romeo yet the two walked without a care of the world. Cara would not lie that a part of her was feeling nervous but she managed to keep it from showing. Thanks to the man she had right next to her, anything seemed possible and nothing seemed impossible. She walked with her hand wrapped around his, keeping each other close no matter what. Romeo on the other hand was not worried a single bit, it was not the first time for him attending such a gathering and it was definitely not the first he would have all eyes focused on him. He had gotten used to having so much attention on him and being in the spotlight from a very young age thanks to the family he hailed from. It was his strength and weakness. Mr Knowles rushed from the stage and hurried towards Romeo. "Mr Armani! I didn't know you would be the one attending the event." Romeo gave him a gentle smile. "It is a pleasure to see you too Mr Knowles. Is my presence not gracing enough?" He let his b
Cara stared at Sarah's reaction and realized that something was wrong. She knew the woman quite well, after all that was her mother in-law for years. Obviously, Jessica had something against her and was making her dance to her will. It even became more glaring when Sarah unwillingly wrapped her arms around Jessica and gave her soft pats on her back. People applauded the obvious fake act of love just because. No one was interested in the family problem they were having although they did not mind gossiping about them. "What do you think is going on between those two?" Romeo asked as he leaned in closer to Cara, keeping his voice to a whisper loud enough for only her to hear. She was surprised that he had even noticed it but then again, Romeo had proved to be a man of keen sight. She turned to move closer to him and responded. "I did not think you would notice. It is obvious that Jessica has something against her mother-in -law, that is if the Jessica I know is still in there, then
"Oh dear!" Jessica suddenly screamed, placing a hand on her forehead and acting like she was in distress and was about to pass out. A princess in distress. "How long will I have to put up with this?" She cried out. All eyes were now fixed on the catastrophic show that she was putting on. Murmurs followed without a second's pause. "What is going on?" "Is there a fight between the former couple?" "Is something going on between Mr Knowles' son and his ex wife?" Jessica pretended like she was heartbroken even though she was a woman without a heart. "How long will I live in the shadows of Cara Smith?!" She demanded firmly, letting her voice overshadow the murmurs of the onlooking crowd. She walked towards her husband and stood in front of him. No one expected the next cause of action, not even Chris, until a loud and resounding slap landed on his face.Gasps erupted in the hall, from Cara as well. Meanwhile Romeo just stared in awe. Chris growled angrily. "What the f*ck did you just
"What in the name of the heavens is going on here?!" Sarah yelled out as she rushed towards the scene. Jessica, once frozen and lost in the mystery of Romeo's eyes, now sprung awake and back to her senses. She snatched her hand from him and stumbled backwards. "She-- she was-- she said that--" every single attempt at forming a sensible sentence was futile as Jessica spoke. She stopped and shook her head to clear her sense of reasoning. "She said something so preposterous! How can she say something as insulting as that and not come with proof?" Cara opened her mouth to speak but Romeo's mellow voice cut her off ever so softly. "My woman would never tell a lie just because." He did not look at her as he spoke but she felt a cold shiver run down her spine... In a good way. His voice grew hard in an instant. "I hope the Knowles family acknowledges this as a sign of disrespect to the Armani family and are ready to face the consequences of this action?" His attention was fixed on the
A groan escaped her mouth as she tried to open her eyes, a brain crushing headache hit her so hard that she thought she would pass out again. In a second, it disappeared like it was never there. She managed to open her eyes and sit up. Looking around, she was met by the white of a hospital room. She tried to remember what had happened before it all blacked out. "--it's possible that she wakes up now-- oh, Miss Smith! Right on time." A man in a white coat said as he walked in. Right next to the man were a set of green eyes she recognized. "Cara, you're awake." Romeo said, he walked over towards her bed and sat down next to her. Taking her hand in his, he continued. "How are you feeling?" She looked confusedly around. "What happened? Where-- I mean, like what happened after the event? Why am I here?" "You passed out." Romeo responded. "But don't worry, no press was around to cover it or else your former friend and ex husband would have found a way to make it tomorrow's headline." H
Cara found it hard to understand the words that she had just heard even though it was simple spoken English. She sat with pricked ears, "I'm sorry, I don't... I don't seem to understand... What do you mean by... I mean I can't--""Calm down, take a deep breathe." Romeo said to her. "If you are feeling this excited then just imagine how happy I am. I couldn't believe my own ears when I heard the words from the doctor." Cara sat up straight in the bed. "But I... I was told that I could not have kids.""Were you?" Romeo asked with an arched brow. "We don't really know who had issues between you and your ex husband, now did we? But you accepted the blame because your ex husband always claimed to be fine."Cara understood what he was trying to say but at the same time, she had to stop and think properly about it. Her brain refused to work properly though no matter how hard she tried to make it. "Miss Smith," the man in white called her name. "I want to let you know that from the series
Jessica swallowed. She did not know how to respond to the words she had just heard. Everything they said was true and it was not in her intention to cause any trouble but the deed had already been done. With all the damage she had caused, she stood and spoke with her full chest. "The Armani will not break off a deal with a good company like us for something so little and irrelevant." Chris arched a brow at his wife. "Little and irrelevant? Little and irrelevant? You think something as large as this will not cause any issue? That spoilt son of a b*tch is the main face of the Armani family, you really think that he won't do anything?""I want us to stop arguing and find a way to settle this now!" Michael yelled out loud. They all fell quiet at his voice. Neither of them had an idea on how to fix the problem on ground. "I know what to do." Chris said in a soft and composed voice. All eyes fell on him as he spoke and he continued. Turning to face his wife, Chris started, "Jessica has
Plans were made on how to begin their finding for the truth, of course, Romeo offered to carry all the responsibilities so he would avoid stressing her. He put her to bed that night and left early in the morning after preparing breakfast for her and every other necessary thing. Cara woke up early in the afternoon, feeling refreshed after a good night rest. She freshened up and went into the kitchen. She was not surprised to find freshly cooked meals in the kitchen but she was pleased. All day long, she kept touching her stomach, thinking about her baby that was now growing inside of her. How was the baby doing? Was the baby healthy? Did babies inside the womb sleep? If they did, was her baby sleeping?She did not know whether to eat much or not, but she did not have appetite to eat that morning. Shaking her head, she told herself to stop thinking about the baby and focus more on the new task at hand. Just at the thought of the Knowles family, her phone started ringing and it turne
Cara rose from the dining chair and went into her bedroom to get a change of clothes. Putting on a semi formal black and white dress, she put on a pair of black high heels and packed her hair behind her. Picking up a black small bag to match with her shoe, she walked out of her room and got ready to leave. Jessica had also texted her the address of the said place for them to meet, a high end bar not too far from Cara's residence, and she decided to drive herself there. The time to meet was in two hours time but she wanted to get there early to survey the place, just in case Jessica had fixed any hidden cameras or something like that. She got there in less than thirty minutes. Arriving there, she made herself comfortable by sitting at the bartender's front. She decided to take something soft, after all she was with a baby. She would never get used to the fact that she was pregnant. "Would you like anything else, ma'am?" The young bartender asked her. She shook her head, "no thank
