Cara stared at her ex best friend in awe, her expression though remained unchanged. "What?" She asked confusedly. "Warn me? You came here to warn me?" Her eyes creased as she asked.

"Yes, don't act so surprised, you ought to have expected this after the recent things you have done." Jessica confidently spoke.

Cara's lips curved into a smirk, she crossed her arms below her breast and relaxed into her seat. "Go ahead and enlighten me on the recent things I've done. Go on, I'm waiting to hear your threats."

Jessica was engulfed in rage at Cara's confidence in the situation but she refused to let it get to her. She believed Cara was trying to push her to the edge of her patience and she won't let her get her way.

"Cara Smith," Jessica positioned herself in a confident manner with her back straightened and head held high. "I understand how you must be feeling, yes, it might have been a year but it must feel like a few days to you."

    She blinked. Clearing her throat, she managed to rid her face of every look of surprise but not after Cara had seen everything."You think that..." Jessica started but swallowed before continuing. "You really think that I will believe the words that come out of your mouth?""Looks like you already did." Cara smiled. "But hey, eat it up, puke it out, I don't give a f*ck, I already served the meal warm and delicious. Now if there is nothing of importance that you came to see me for, kindly get the f*ck out of my office and my company. Oh and darling? Never step foot in this place ever again or I'll freaking get you arrested!"The look on her face was stern which made Jessica understand that that was no empty threat.She cleared her throat dryly and managed an empty smile. One that barely touched her lips spoke less of her eyes. "I'll get out of your hair... For now. As long as you steer clear of my husband, I don't think we will have a problem.""Yay thanks." Cara rolled her eyes along

    Jessica listened to the beep sound indicating that he had hung up in a state of awe. She couldn't understand why Mathew would say such words to her.Why were they no longer friends with Chris? Because he chose her over his wife at the time? How could they take Cara's side when they feigned ignorance for so long when they knew she and Chris were always hooking up?What a petty move! She thought to herself. Trying to pretend like they weren't guilty as well."Fine!" She exploded at the phone. "I won't ever call you because I don't need help from shitty people like you!"That must have been the reason her number was already blocked in Max's phone.Hissing, she picked up her bag and threw it on her shoulder. If Chris was anywhere in the world that she knew of then it would be his favorite club.Hopefully he wasn't there.But she dashed out of the house anyway and hurried to the club. Not even thinking twice about her son that was asleep upstairs.Even though he wasn't making a single soun

    Cara picked up her bag before closing time to leave. The investors had apologized because they had to cancel the dinner. Each of them were busy with something important that had come up and she didn't actually mind it.She was too tired mentally to even relate properly with them so it was a good thing that they had to call it off."Hello Maisie?" Cara called her personal assistant. "I'll be heading out early, any report you would like to share before I leave?""Can you wait for just five minutes ma'am? I'll be in your office before then with a report." Maisie responded."Okay, no problem. I'll be waiting."She hung up and relaxed into her seat. Five more minutes was no problem.Exactly three minutes later, Maisie was in her office with a report tendered properly. Cara went through everything and was finally done after about fifteen minutes."I'll be on my way now." She said to Maisie who responded with a bow.Getting to her feet, she heard a knock on her door and the secretary popped

    Romeo blinked.It took a moment for him to understand what he had said correctly and the reason she was feeling so flustered. His eyes shone in realization."Oh wait no!" He exclaimed. "That is not what I meant. Okay, uh it's not what I meant to say. What I meant by what I said is that I want you to spend a fun weekend with us."Cara's brows creased. "Us?" She poured confusedly."No, uhm..." He rubbed his forehead and cleared his throat. "Okay. So a few close friends and I-- we knew each other from business and whenever they were throwing a party or hanging out somewhere, they always invited me so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to invite them too. Anyway-- we are going on a cruise to celebrate, spending the weekend on a cruise ship and it would mean the world to me if you could attend it."Cara sighed softly. A sigh of relief. Why was it so flustering spending time alone with a man? There were women out there who hooked up with strangers and called it one night stands so why did

    Romeo's brow twitched upward as he stared at Cara who didn't take her eyes off him. Why was she acting like she had just heard something ridiculously absurd about him? And she refused to get off the phone already so he could ask her about it!"Oh uh... I'll... I'll see what I can do about that." Cara hesitantly responded, finally looking away from him. She hung up and slipped her phone into her purse. "Okay firstly," Romeo started. "Whatever they said, I didn't do any of it."She let out a soft chuckle. "What in the world are you talking about?" She continued outside of her office after twisting the door knob open. Romeo followed. "I mean, the way you were looking at me made it look like they--whoever you were on the phone with--said something unbelievably terrible about me which obviously i didn't do cause I am just a little sweetheart." He smiled. Cara looked up at him as if he had just told a lie and his brow arched. "What's with that judging look?" He asked her. She smiled a

    The wind blew through her hair, entering her lungs and calming her down from the inside. She breathed, unsteadily and uneasily. She hated how flustered she was feeling just because of him. 'So what if he is hot hmn?' She asked herself. 'He won't be the first hot guy you have ever seen before so why are you overreacting like this? Huh? Sure, he has an undeniable charm that lures women in, you're not the only one! 'So stop making a fool out of yourself whenever you are around him. Stop letting your guard down like that, besides, he is just a nice guy, you are the one making things complicated. He doesn't feel any special way towards you. Have you ever seen him blush when he is around you?'"Are you that mad about the elevator?" She flinched. Turning around, she saw Romeo standing behind her. "Huh?" She asked, her thin brow arching. "You have been standing here for over two minutes frowning and throwing your hands in the air. You're not saying anything out loud which makes you look r

  • His Greatest Regret    The last floor

    The inside of the building was just as large as Cara had speculated. Different sections filled with dresses, shoes, jewelries and bags of all sorts. Then several top floors for the richer and richer and richer. Someone like her would probably be able to shop in the first floor and highest, the second. She turned to look at Romeo to catch his smile as he nudged his head forward, inciting her to continue their adventure together. Her eyes lingered on his perfect back as he stepped forward and buried himself in the lot of the place. "Wait up!" She hurried after him. Catching up to him, she looked up at his face and noticed his eyebrow twitch skyward thoughtfully and somewhat disappointedly. So she asked. "Is something here not to your liking?" His lips pouted childishly. "This section isn't for us. Come on, onto the next floor." He urged her on and started towards the elevator without waiting. An excited smile played on his lips as he went on. Cara's eyes widened, her mind slow to r

    Lost in her own subconsciousness, a tall buff man in all black and black shades walked towards them, a toothpick in his mouth. "Excuse me?" He called out to them, snapping Cara out of her own thoughts. "Did you two happen to lose something?" Cara's eyes widened. "No, why would you ask that?" "Well because I noticed you on the cctv going from floor to floor without actually picking anything. It's a little suspicious, too suspicious for me. It makes me feel like you are trying to get a mapped detail of the place or something." He explained, hands tucked in his pocket, toothpick sticking to the side of his mouth. "Like for a robbery or something?" Cara's eyes grew wider the moment she realized what they were being accused of. "Your words, not mine, ma'am. If you will not purchase an item then do you mind escorting me to the station? Just for some questioning." He suggested. Her eyes bulged like they would pop out of her head and her fist clenched in anger. "Excuse me!" "Excuse us,"

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    "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

    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

    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
