The time slowed down and she was grateful for it because she could stare into his eyes longer. His smile, those beautiful green orbs he called eyes, his everything! How could she not stare?

She was always the kind to stop and appreciate a work of art.

“So do you… do you need me to come with you?” His honey tone made her sway.

She blinked. “Huh? Oh sure! Yeah, I mean… I could use the company. I didn't tell anyone back at home it was today because I knew they would flood the place and make a scene.”

“Good choice.” He responded then let out a soft laugh. “Let's go.”

With a nod, she closed the door and followed him.

While inside his car, she kept tugging at her dress to somehow make it longer and cover up her legs. She felt uncomfortable revealing so much– too much even!-- but sadly, her dress didn't become any longer.

Romeo smiled softly. Putting his BMW on autopilot, he took off his jacket and covered her legs without saying anything.

She was surprised but more ashamed. She had hop

  • His Greatest Regret    Celebration

    The event didn't take too long, all they had to do was sign a few papers and they were done. The one month waiting period of course still stood and they would have to come back then to finalize their divorce but this stage had been completed.“Carina,” Romeo called her name tenderly. “Now that you are officially single, what do you say we finally go on that trip we have been postponing?”She gave him a weak smile. “Okay. But let's leave tomorrow.”“No problem. So I was thinking maybe we could use this as an opportunity to celebrate your divorce. You have been set free from the shackles of your marriage so let's celebrate–”“Cara!” Chris called out her name. “Wait right there.” He ordered.Cara sighed and crossed her arms below her breast. She had covered herself up with Romeo's jacket and the only meaning Chris had read to it was that they were head over heels for each other which did nothing but infuriate him.“Isn't this all too soon?” His voice burnt with rage. “You're not even goi

  • His Greatest Regret    One Year Later

    Cara remained quiet all through the ride. She held back on her tears as they kept threatening to fall. It was a lot of work to keep those waters from pouring down her face.Arriving at her complex building, she got out of the car and Romeo saw her off to her apartment. She still had to fake being okay even though it was very evident on her face that she was not.Her legs trembled as she walked but anytime it happened, Romeo held her up with a gentle smile, knowing well what she was going through and not asking any questions.It had hurt him– even though the words weren't directed at him– when Chris had talked about her inability to have children. It wasn't her fault and he wished he could tell that to her.At the entrance of her apartment, she stopped and turned to him with a soft smile. “Thank you for today. You are always so helpful.” Her voice was empty of life.Romeo felt so heartbroken looking at her like that. She was too shattered to be put back together by a few words but he s

  • His Greatest Regret    Long Time No see

    Her eyes widened for an instant before anger dawned upon her. Her day had been going perfectly well until the universe threw such a bad luck at her.Chris’ eyes widened. “Cara…” he muttered.She frowned. “Will your insurance cover the damages? It is quite much.” She ignored any attempt at a friendly conversation or even exchanging pleasantries.There was nothing pleasant about the situation.“What? Oh, yes, yes they will.” He responded with a half smile. “Where are you– where are you going?”“And why should that be your concern?” Her thin brow arched.“Cara, we haven't seen each other in a while, it's been almost year–”“--and I hoped it would be longer.” She interrupted him with a stern look on her face.He sighed. “It's been almost a year since we went back to finalize our divorce after the waiting period. You can't even be like, ‘long time no see’?”She scoffed a laugh and planted her hands on her hips. “And why do you think I would say that? Hello? We are like strangers to each ot

  • His Greatest Regret    Someone New

    Cara's eyes locked with Romeo’s gentle gaze. She wondered if she was the only one being affected by their closeness.His eyes went back to her injury as he continued to tend to it and she was grateful he had looked away.She found herself wishing he hadn't though. If looking away was that easy for him then didn't it mean that he didn't feel any sort of connection whatsoever with her? A whole year and she was the only one feeling like that.“If you don't want to tell me what happened then it's fine,” he started with his eyes on her injury but then he suddenly stared into her eyes. “But next time, try not to visit the board with a bloody forehead, okay?”“I…” she stared into his green orbs. Clearing her throat, her senses finally washed in and she could complete her sentence. “I had an accident today.”His eyes widened. “Oh my goodness, are you okay? Why didn't you check in at the hospital? You should have called me.”“I was too distracted to even feel the pain from the cut.” She plainl

  • His Greatest Regret    At The Club

    Later that night, after Cara went home for a change of clothes into something sexy that fit for a club, she got into Romeo’s car and they both drove down to SA club.A club known for big and influential people. There were several floors and vvip wards and surprisingly, Romeo had access to every room in the entire building. According to his confession.Sitting at the bar of the club, they both ordered whiskey neat and drank next to each other.“Okay,” Cara started. “To be honest, I'm so glad we had the lobsters instead. It was so amazing, like I had never had a lobster before.”“I feel you.” Romeo responded. “That place is top notch. I went there with my mom one time and I fell in love with the place. Everything they serve is amazing.”“It's beyond amazing.” She emphasized before letting out a chuckle.“Let's go there again soon.” His voice was gentle.Even with the crazy lights, she could still make out his handsome features and intoxicating smile. Boy would she love to get drunk on h

While she was still pregnant, he had already started growing distant but not like ignoring her existence in the house completely like he was doing now.The way he treated her was like a slave who was only around to take care of the baby. Their own baby!He slept in a separate room and was never home. When he got home most nights, he was always drunk and ignored her.He hadn't touched her in months! She found herself worrying why she even married him.

    Cara was silent. The drive to her apartment seemed longer than she thought. Yet the deafening silence prevailed without competition.On arriving at the entrance of her complex building, Romeo pulled the car to a stop and made to open the door to come down but Cara didn't budge.He stopped and turned to look at her, hands still clinging on to his seatbelt. “Carina?” He called her name softly. “Are you alright?”She turned to look at him, her eyes staring into the magic green orbs he called eyes. “Are you alright?” She threw the question back at him.His thick brow arched skyward. “What? What do you mean?”“Back there, you seemed… angry.” She hesitantly responded, not knowing the words to use and how to put them carefully with each other.His hands finally slipped away from his seatbelt as he relaxed into his seat with a silent sigh. “How could I be alright when he talked trash about you? And besides, what does he know about me to say that nonsense he said? Does he think everyone is lik

    Cara threw on her clothes and shoes as she got ready for work. Her hair dangled in a ponytail behind her while a black skirt wrapped around her curves. A white long sleeved shirt over her shoulders with a black red bottom heel.As she reached for her bag, her phone started to ring and she felt anger dawn upon her as she saw the name Chris on the screen.She didn't know why she hadn't deleted his number after all these months.Taking a breath to calm herself down, she answered the call in a stern voice. “What is it?”“You still have my number saved on your phone.” He said with a calm tone that was highlighted by surprise.“Is that what you called to check?” She angrily questioned him. “Because if that's it, I want you to know that some of us are busy– too busy to be playing games–”“Your car is ready, would you like me to deliver it to your address?” Chris cut her off asking.She swallowed her anger and responded. “No, tell me where to pick it up and I'll be there.”“Okay,” he responde

  • 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

  • His Greatest Regret    A Familiar Stranger

    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

  • His Greatest Regret    Giovanni In The City

    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

  • His Greatest Regret    His Father's Story

    Romeo walked her to her door, she stopped and turned to look at him. She had played around with a question with her tongue but finally decided to ask. "That woman... Did she have any child for your dad?"Romeo had completely forgotten about what they had been discussing. "Huh?" He arched his brow at her. A second later and it all came back to him. "Oh! No, no she did not. She got married to someone else and lives happily in another country. Japan, Tokyo to be precise."Cara's brow wondered at the precision and she decided to ask. "How do you know exactly where she stays? Are you in touch?" Romeo nodded his head softly. "The time my dad and my mom finally grew close, that year exactly, it was after he said goodbye to her sincerely and was ready to move on. We all went to see her and spent a few days in her family house. She has a son, Giovanni. She named him after my dad, it's a name he still doesn't like to remember because of her." "Doesn't seem like they have said goodbye properly

  • His Greatest Regret    Accepted

    Cara gave a soft bow of her head as she bid farewell to the Armani family. The day had gone by very quickly, almost as fast as the blink of an eye. She had a soft smile on her face, a smile that didn't even bother to try to measure up to the happiness inside of her. She was not excited that she was going to become a part of the Armani family, rather, she was excited that she was going to move from Romeo's girlfriend to his wife. Waking up by his side every single morning would be a massive dream come true. Romeo stood by her side, his hands at his side as he bowed his head to show his respect to his parents. He had always been the respectful kind. Tori gave a soft smile on response. "It was lovely to have you over, Cara. I haven't seen my son smile so widely and sincerely in a very long time.""We hardly even see our son, we just know that he is doing s good job taking care of the company." Marcus added with his usual not to firm but not to lenient expression. Cara smiled. "Thank

  • His Greatest Regret    Greedy Love

    The gentle breeze whipped against Cara's face, playing with the loose strands of her hair and caressing her cheeks. She took slow steps forward, allowing her legs move at their own will and nothing more. Her hands were placed by her side, she strolled in her high heels like they were a part of her feet. Her lips may have remained silent and still, but her mind roared with thoughts, tearing up her brain. It was a massacre. All she wanted was peace and silent, to calm the ongoing storm in her own head. So she took to the gardens after her meal with Romeo's parents. She was waiting till romeo arrived. The several scents of a wide collection of flowers wasp against her face and filled up her nostrils, creating a one of a kind cologne. The sight alone should have been calming, not to mention the tantalizing scent. But nothing was working, Cara brain still allowed itself get ambushed by thoughts. Firstly, in a thousand years, she would have never thought that Tori Armani, soon to be h

  • His Greatest Regret    Dance Away Her Sorrow

    Jessica sat on her bed, her eyes stared at the wall, barely blinking. The house had been practically empty over the past few days, Chris had gone on a business trip, Michael had been going out nonstop to meet with other investors just in case Jessica failed to bring the Armani back, Sarah was more or less a ghost in the house. Jessica did not know what to do, how was she supposed to get back in power after a fall so hard and high? How was she supposed to rule again when her crown had been melted and thrown away? She could just have to buy another one. But it was too costly apparently. How? What? When? She kept asking herself. She thought in no less than a few minutes more, she was going to run crazy for sure. Was that how quickly people fell? Just one mistake from her own plan had destroyed everything beyond repair. Chris had been wrapped around her finger, Sarah had become her puppet, Michael had become her soul supporter, but in just one night, everything had destroyed. Sh

  • His Greatest Regret    Table Ethnics

    Summoning the rest of her courage, she made her way to the dining and sat herself down after both Tori and Marcus had sat down. One thing rich people liked to test that she was sure of was table ethics. That would obviously not be a problem for her. She had attended several prestigious events and knew how to properly compose herself at a table. Their meals had been served out in a platter of gold for each of them. Literally. She had no trouble at all deciding what fork to use or how to cut her juicy steak and chewing properly had never really been a problem for her. She could catch Marcus' judging gaze every once in a while. He seemed pleased. She too was pleased to know she had matched his high hopes. "So when do you hope the wedding will be?" Tori asked with a slight raise of her brow without taking her eyes off of her meal. Of all the moments to flop, Cara chose then to choke on her meat and cough in a way that was not all lady like. At least in the eyes of Marcus. She immedi

  • His Greatest Regret    A Test Question

    She stood there silent for a moment, letting herself take several calming breaths before finally finding the strength to walk back into the living room. Forcing a smile to her face, she sat back down on her seat, smoothening her dress and trying to hide her discomfort. "So," Tori was the first to speak up. "I heard your business is doing well, you are the CEO I presume?""Yes," Cara tried to keep calm as she responded. "Yes I am. I uh recently took over the company from my dad. It has been just a year plus though." Tori nodded her head softly and majestically. The woman made Cara feel so tense, to her, every single movement that Tori made was queenly like and oozed of full born royalty. She did not even want to look at Marcus because his silence alone weighed heavily on the room already. Eye contact with him could break her soul and cause her to squirm. "How does it feel taking care of a responsibility as big as that?" Marcus suddenly spoke up and Cara felt her heart stop for a b
