Arriving at the location, Jessica composed herself as she walked in. She tried to shrug off the feelings of fear and agitation that was thriving inside of her at the moment due to her family's oppression.

"My whole life depends on this. I can do this." She said to herself before taking a deep breath. "I have to do this..." She muttered underneath her breath.

Walking in, she wore a smile and ignoring the sudden heavy beat in her chest, walked towards Cara where she was sitting. "Good afternoon Cara." She said in a voice that was supposed to be confident.

Cara stared at the woman in front of her up and down. "Afternoon." She responded halfheartedly.

Jessica sat herself down right opposite cara and dropped her bag on the table. "I did not actually expect you to come. Have I kept you waiting for too long?" She arched her brow at her.

Cara's lips curved into a slight smile. "No. I actually just arrived. As you know, I am a very busy woman so please get straight to the point. I have t

  • His Greatest Regret    Simple Request

    She let out a scoff, refusing to believe that those were the actual words of Cara. How could she be so mean to her? She knew that she might have done some bad things to her that actually hurt her but would she really not get over it? Was she really going to be that petty? Another scoff escaped her mouth. She reached forward and picked up her drink then gulped it down. Placing the empty cup on the table, she raised her eyes to meet with Cara's. "Is that really what your response is going to be?" She sat crossed legged with her arms below her breast. "Are you really going to play this petty? Like for real?" Cara crossed her arms below her breast. "I do not understand what you are talking about. Being petty? If anyone amongst the both of us is being petty then it is you or don't you know that?" She arched her brow at her. "I came to an old friend for help regarding a mistake I made that anyone could have made. How is that me being petty?" Jessica demanded in a restricting tone

  • His Greatest Regret    Shocking News.

    Jessica rose to her feet, an air of confidence flowing behind her. She was no longer smiling, anger caused her blood to boil yet her voice was calm as she swayed her hips, walking slowly towards Cara. "I knew how much you loved your husband, Chris, how much you cared about him and wanted to treasure the marriage for all eternity even though you did not have children. "I know more than anyone that you planned on remaining by his side until you turned grey and old. That was what made it even more fun when I stole him away from you." An evil smirk grew on her face. She continued in the same calm and demeaning voice. "Yes, you could say that I was greedy because what I wanted then was not a happy family but all the riches that came with being the wife of Chris Knowles. "But getting a family was a plus for me and I have you to thank. But if you don't help me talk to your boyfriend so everything can be settled and I end up getting kicked out of my marital home..." Her face grew cold and

  • His Greatest Regret    What would he do ?

    The atmosphere was cool. The soft melodic rhythm of a gentle jazzy music floated about in the living room, carrying along the sweet scent of fresh wine and something spicy wherever it went. Cara felt nervous, a chill running down her spine. She found it hard to stop tapping her feet nervously in contrast to the gentle and serene environment she was in. But no one could blame her for the way she was feeling, especially since she was in the large and expensive abode of the Armani family. She tried to tell herself it was no big deal, there was no reason to be nervous, even though she was in the home of the most prominent family in the city, she should not be nervous though. 'You would not be in such a situation if only you had not said yes...' She thought in her head. A single yes that night had changed her life from that moment on...Cara thought about a way to present her pregnancy to her family, how would she say it to them? How could she say it to them? A nice and simple way or a

    Jessica let out a screech as she threw her pillow off of the bed. Anger caused her blood to boil and all she wanted to do was trash things until she was calm again. "How dare she look down on me like that?!" She yelled out angrily. "That b*tch is going to pay for everything she said. Everything!" She picked up another pillow and trashed it against the window. As angry as she was, she dared not to break anything, especially now that she was walking on eggshells around her own supposed to be family and in-laws. "When is this suffering going to end? When am I going to have the last laugh already?! I can't take any more of this bullsh*t!" She spat out angrily. A knock on the door caused her to stop where she was, the anger in her rose even more. "Who the f*ck is it?!" She barked out angrily. "I'm so sorry to disturb you ma'am, it is me, your personal maid." The voice from the other side of the door said in a bit of agitation and fear. "What the f*ck do you want? Go away! I don't nee

    Arriving at the hospital, Jessica was let to the ward where her son was being taken care of. She was surprised to see Chris sitting next to the bed where her son was lying. She stopped, frozen by the entrance of the room. What was he still doing there? She had expected him to just drop him at the hospital and leave but he was actually sitting there, looking... Worried. She had forgotten about her son for a moment and all of her attention was fixed on her husband and how he was looking at his son with so much love and affection.Did he love their son that much? Did he truly care about him or was he just acting? She cleared her throat and walked into the room, her hands crossed below her breast. "Tell me now if there are any secret cameras in here." She boldly said as she walked in. Chris looked back at her, sparing her just a glance before looking back at the sleeping baby boy on the bed. "Took you long enough." He responded without looking back at her. She scoffed. "Took me long

  • His Greatest Regret    Impossible

    Cara sat there in front of Romeo, staring at him while thinking in her head. Would he really stay with her forever or would he leave her when he got someone better? Romeo did not bother to ask again, it was as if he already knew what she was thinking in her head. A smile crept up on his face as he stared at her and he held her hand tightly in his. "Cara," he called her name so softly. "I actually had the intention of asking you something very important today."She stared at him with enthusiasm, eager to know what he had to say. But she did not try to interrupt him and she waited for as long as he paused until he was ready to talk. Romeo let out a soft sigh. He suddenly but gently let go of her hand and rose to his feet. With his back facing her, he started in a gentle tone. "Cara... Ever since the day we met for the very first time," he turned around to look at her now. "I had felt this pull towards you, I have been attracted to you ever since."But so much happened, we could not b

  • His Greatest Regret    Meet My Parents

    Tears trailed down Cara's face effortlessly. She had hoped for that day to come but she had also never imagined it coming. She nodded her head, trying to control her tears. "Yes..." She managed to voice out amidst the tears that washed down her red excitedly flushed cheeks. Romeo's lips curved into a smile, he might have looked like he was calm but his heart was racing uncontrollably. He had not expected a straight and positive answer from her even though he knew she loved him. He felt like all his worries were washed away by a sudden downpour and now he felt so light without any burdens or worries. He carefully placed the ring on her ring finger, adorning the small and petite hand of Cara Smith. Cara blushed hard, her hand, it had been empty for too long, without a ring to show that she belonged somewhere. She stared at the delicate adornment, wondering why something so small had the capability of making almost every woman happy. "My dad called me today." She said the words in t

    Romeo gave her a gentle smile and smoothly caressed her cheek. "When we get to that bridge, we will know how to cross it. Bit firstly... You have to come over to my place to see my parents... Tomorrow."Cara choked on her words as she wanted to speak. That was how she found herself in the living room of the most prominent family in the entire state. Sitting in a living room as luxurious as heaven. She swallowed hard, trying not to choke on her own saliva. A brown haired middle aged lady walked into the living room, dressed in a silvery mini length dress and perfectly shone black pair of heels. Her hair was made into a tight bun and her lips were adorned by a light shade of red. She walked in, looking younger than Cara thought she might be. A bright smile played on her face as she came in with elegant strides and both of her hands were fixed in front of her. She gave a deep bow of her head and straightened herself once more, "lady Smith? Mr and Mrs Armani will be with you shortly,

    Those were the exact same words she had said to him just now, to take a break, so why was she so heartbroken? Why did she feel a sudden chill snake up her back? Why did she crumble to the ground? Why was it hurting her so much? Tears trailed down her eyes freely, her heart beat like it was about to explode, it was not built for such pain. The way it made her feel, watching him walk out on her and slam the door without looking back, she was at the edge of losing her mind. Her heart was soon to explode. "Come back..." She mitered softly, hoping he had not left. Hoping he was still by the door outside, hoping he was only waiting for a second before walking back in and engulfing her in his arms. "Come back to me..." She muttered softly. She strength to even speak any louder than that had evaded her. No matter how hard she tried to reach for it, it kept slipping out of her grasp. So she remained on her knees, tears washing down her face like heavy rain, heart as burdened as ever, soul

    Romeo took Cara home later in the evening, she had been silent all through the ride and it was to his notice. As they arrived in the living room, he was supposed to turn back and leave, after all, Giovanni was still waiting for him. They had some catching up to do. But instead, he sat her down and sat next to her. "Is everything alright? You did not say a single thing all through the ride back home." Cara had been lost in her own thoughts but she was thankful that he had noticed it. She sat up properly and asked him, "did you hear what your mom proposed to me today?" Her voice was soft. "The merger?" Romeo's brow arched as he asked her and she nodded her head in response. He continued. "Yes I did, what about it? I wasn't really paying attention to her." Cara let out a soft sigh. "Well you know enough to know what her proposal was. Why do I have to merge my company with yours?" "It's not that you have to, it's just something that seems like the right and normal thing to do."

    Cara despised pettiness, so she despised herself for what she did next. "Remember, Jessica, that bug could still be around here." She hinted at Jessica's ugly secret. Jessica knew what she was saying and fell quiet. She clenched her fist in anger. Cara continued. "If it pleases you that I leave the room, I will, just know that whatever Romeo decides is of his own choice and not mine." Jessica still did not say anything. Tori shook her head, "that's absolute nonsense." She touched Cara's hand softly. "You are the new woman in the home of the Armani, every decision taken shall be in front of you. We are one. You can counter his words if you wish, or you can comply. Whatever you do will be accepted because you are a part of us now." Cara responded with a soft smile. "Now," Romeo started off in a tone that rose with authority, "back to your case. My decision still stands, same as it was before. The Knowles family has been with us for a while now, sure, but ever since power was switc

    As Jessica noticed that they were all walking towards her, she rose to her feet and tried to act as composed as ever. "So...?"Cara wanted to roll her eyes, knowing well that Jessica was acting like she was not worried of the situation. Romeo could discard her right away if he wanted to, Jessica ought to be smart enough to know that. But she said nothing about it and continued. "It has been decided. Both of you, you are going to pretend like you don't know each other. We are just going to tell Mr and Mrs Armani that you have a very low tolerance rate for bugs and you saw one under the table. That was why you ran out." "And if they ask about the bug or want to call the manager to take care of it?" Jessica questioned. "Then we will just tell them it has been taken care of. No story." Cara responded. Jessica was silent for a while before speaking. "Why are you helping me this much? It makes my skin crawl." "Because no matter how much of a b*tch you are to me, I am not a petty woman

    Romeo discarded the restaurant's manager respectfully, after they made sure no one else was going to overhear their conversation, they continued to address the issue on ground. Romeo pulled Giovanni aside, "how could you do that, Giovanni?" Giovanni arched a brow. "How was I supposed to know she was married and involved with your company? With a kid! I had a one night stand Romeo, not everyone is as committed as you are. Even in your bachelor years, you did not hook up with any woman. You're perfect but I'm not." Romeo gave a roll of his eyes. "This is not about me being perfect, besides I'm not. I didn't do any of that because I chose not to. And I spent my nights at the company while others spent theirs at a club."Giovanni scoffed. "Oh please, that's just an excuse. What about college years? Even the time you spent with me in Japan, you are too good for your own health." "My college years were pretty wild, Giovanni, believe it or not. Not in the hooking aspect because I was com

  • His Greatest Regret    Now Everyone Knows

    The Armani family-- Cara included-- along with their guest stared at Jessica as she dashed out of the room, ignoring Tori's call to her. They could only wonder what could have resulted to such impromptu action. All except Giovanni of course. The look on his face was neither surprise nor pleasure. He was just simply staring. Cara involuntarily rose to her feet and chased after her former best friend. She had not even expected herself to do something like that but she was already standing outside the room before she realized it. "Jessica!" She called out to the runaway princess. Jessica stopped and turned around, surprised to see Cara outside as well. She waited until Cara had walked up to her before she began to spit out without a second thought. "What are you doing here? Did you come here to make fun of me? Did you come here to let me know how much of a failure I am?! Huh?!" "Calm down." Cara said softly. "You need to breathe or else you'll pass out at this state." Jessica stil

  • His Greatest Regret    Her One Night Stand

    Jessica had made up her mind, she was more than ready to sleep with the handsome man that was standing right in front of her, opening the door to his hotel room. Thankfully, he would not be able to tell that she was a married woman due to the fact that she had hid her wedding ring.She was young and pretty, this knowledge was known to her herself. So there was nothing wrong in her acting like a young and careless spinster exploring the world and by the world, she meant different men. Chris would care less anyway. And so the door opened and he led her into the fanciest room she had never known existed in the club. Obviously, from his aura alone, she could tell he was a rich man and now the room confirmed it. Behind the closed doors, she was in his arms again. They were strong and manly, her chest was firmly pressed against his. Their bodies emitted warmth that made her want to growl in delight. She enjoyed it, the feel of being in a man's arms. She clung tighter onto him, wanting

    Jessica was elated! She had been able to get a call through to Romeo's dad and managed to plead an audience with the man. If it all worked out then she would not be sent out of the Knowles family. "I can't believe that I scored such a huge goal! If I can just manage to convince him-- I hope I can-- then I will be able to embarrass Cara for treating me like shit!" She twirled around happily in her bedroom. "There's no time to waste!" She cautioned herself. Hurrying to her wardrobe, she dressed up in a fancy and official mini dress and combed her hair until there was not a single strand loose. Her looks alone would be her first impression that day to Marcus and she knew it. She her make up quite obvious to add to the depth of her beauty. She looked ready after putting on her nude colored heels but she did not feel ready. With a nervous breath, she picked up her hand bag and walked out of her room.Bumping into Chris in the hallway, her face was drained of its smile. She thought to

    Cara opened her eyes to the realization that she was alone in bed. She sat up and looked around only to notice that Romeo's clothes were no where to be found. Had he gone without waking her? She asked herself. Climbing out of bed, she fetched a plain white T-shirt and threw it on over her naked body then went to the living room. The stomach tingling scent of fresh toasts and fish sticks as well as coffee hit her nose and she was drawn to the kitchen. She paused and leaned against the counter, a smile playing on her delicate face. Standing before her was a shirtless man in an apron, completely focused on the eggs he was preparing in a pan. His muscled arms were all she could stare at and his chest. The apron revealed part of his abs and most of his chest and all of his back. She would be lying if she said his perfectly built body was not a great turn on. Biting down on her lower lips, she watched him cook the meal like a pro, all she wanted at that moment was for him to cook her
