His Greatest Regret New Plan
Jessica walked into her husband's room with a stern expression on her face. She didn't even bother to knock. "I'll see you soon, babe." He said on the phone. Then blew a kiss through the phone while smiling widely. She slammed the door behind herself and crossed her arms below her breast and watched him hang up before speaking. "Really? Are you not even worried that your parents will hear? They are within these walls for God's sake!" He looked plainly at her. "Do I look like I care?" His tone was like someone who wasn't bothered but nonchalant. He was lying on the bed, but he rose to a sitting position. "What do you want? Barging into my room like that, it better be good." "I am your wife, Chris, and no matter what you say, I will forever be your wife! We are still legally married and I will not adhere to any silly talk of divorce!" She spat out angrily. He smiled and nodded. "Okay, can you leave now? I'm busy." "Your son has been crying all day and there is no one to tend

Anger, frustration, anxiety, everything mixed together and coursed through Jessica's veins. Her head was about to explode from thinking out loud. Some people even thought she was crazy and maybe was! She just didn't notice it yet."But... At least I still have some sort of control over him." She ended her loud thought with that.If she could yell at him to take care of their child and he listened then she could yell at him to make him come back to his senses and hopefully he would listen.Arriving at the house, she gave a gentle smile and a small nod of her head to Michael and Sarah Knowles while passing by.It wasn't like they cared or noticed but it was better for her to show her respect and be ignored than to not show it and be interrogated like a criminal caught at a crime scene."I have to admit, I am pretty impressed with yo--" she froze, looking around her baby's room. "Chris?" He was no where to be found. "Chris!"She growled underneath her breath. Turning around, she dashed d

Cara had woken up a little earlier than usual to make sure she was extra prepared for the trip.She had spent over thirty minutes working on the perfect curls to add to her hair and what product to apply and make it more bouncy than it already was.She had decided on a baby blue suit trouser and shirt with a black turtle necked top on the inside. Her bouncy new curls were left to fall over her shoulders and a pair of black high heels clung onto her feet.Her neck was bare of any jewelry but her pinky finger and index was decorated with thin silver rings while the other hand was her thumb and index.She had done so many beauty therapies the night before that her face was looking so perfect that morning without any make up. Lightly, she applied a shade of red to her lips and little powder on her face. Her eyes were carefully outlined.Her change of clothes was packed inside her small traveling box and she was ready to go.She was so excited and nervous for a trip she continuously turned

The cool rhythm of the breeze flowed through Cara's hair as they drove down the free road of Los Angeles city. The air had never felt any more fresh as Cara left the window winded down.Part of-- well most of-- the reasons she had left the window down was because her face kept burning red and the last thing she would want was for Romeo to see.He casted glances at her occasionally but didn't think to interrupt or start a conversation. She seemed to be enjoying the wind as it kept ruffling through her hair.Cara closed her eyes and listened to the wind, letting it calm her beating heart. But yet, her heart kept racing. Just a touch of the hand, yet her heart kept fluttering like it would fly out of her chest.The butterfly in her stomach kept flapping its wings without rest. 'Will you calm down?' She said in her mind to herself. 'Stop reading meaning to such little things!'Her eyes popped open in anger. She snapped her head to the side, casting a glance at Romeo.He was collectively c

Jessica laid on her bed with her tears trailing down her face. Her life was never as terrible as this. She had quit working due to her pregnancy and now that she had delivered, she was so busy taking care of her son that she didn't even think of getting a job.But wasn't that someone worth considering now? If she was busy with her work, she wouldn't have the time to think about her husband and be heartbroken.But who would want to hire a nursing mother?Sarah, Chris' mother, had a fashion house, maybe she wouldn't mind hiring her as an extra worker. It didn't really matter if the pay was small, she could get any money she needed from Chris anyway, but just a chance to leave home and breathe again.Raising herself to a sitting position, she sniffed and wiped her tears. The least she would do was to hire a baby sitter to take care of her son.She reached for a tissue and blew her nose before getting to her feet and leaving her room.She bumped into a cleaning lady and the lady bowed. "O

"Okay then I guess it's a done deal." A tall brown haired man said with his pink lips spreading into a smile. "Pleasure being here today." He shook the hand of a fellow man. He squinted and sucked in air through his lips. "Is... Your boss okay, though? He seemed absent minded all through our discussion, like something terrible was bugging him.""Oh uh... Just thinking about ways to grow the company, that's all." The other man replied with a forced smile. His eyes darted towards his boss who wasn't too far away from them yet his mind was somewhere he could not even guess.Chris sat in his chair with a hand on his chin, lost in his own thoughts. He kept wondering, what was the perfect way to approach Cara without seeming proud? He couldn't just go over to her with a few thousand dollars and hand it to her.How about doing her a favor? Maybe he could buy her a new car since he crashed her own one."That is a perfect idea!" Chris suddenly exclaimed as he sprung to his feet.The others aro

Andrew smiled. "Thank you once again for your purchase, I can assure you that she will like-- no, love this! It is very modest and white signifies a cool and calm color.""Thank you for your help, I hope I haven't made you lose your trip?" Chris' brow arched."No but you will if you keep me here." Andrew laughed softly.Chris let out a soft chuckle. "Ah alright, have fun at your-- did you say cruiser? Well, have fun there.""Thank you once again." Without wasting any more time, Andrew got into his black Benz and drove away. "Someone more important than his own legally married wife?" He asked himself as he drummed softly with his fingers on the steering wheel. "If it's not his mother or sister then... He's such a jerk."His phone vibrated from the holder and he picked it up. "Didn't I connect this thing to the car?" He muttered the question to himself as he flashed a glance at the phone to see the caller. "Hey siri," he chanted."Uh huh?" Siri responded. "Connect my phone to the car.

Cara stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, wondering when the courage to go back out would fill her up. Her reflection stared back at her and she let out a soft sigh.She kept asking herself, why would Romeo do something like that? It was caring, yes, but also quite embarrassing for her.How would she face him? How was she supposed to go back out there and pretend like she had only excused herself to powder her nose?How would he look at her now?She let out a sigh. "Maybe I can pretend to have a work emergency and then go back home to bury myself under my blanket for the rest of my life!" Another devastated sigh left her mouth.That would be no use because knowing Romeo, he wouldn't let her go."Alright!" She suddenly stood with her back straight and her chest forward. "There's nothing to be ashamed of about this! Own it! You're a woman and it happens! Obviously, Romeo being a sophisticated man will not make mentions of this or try to use it as a joke to embarrass you so t

His Greatest Regret An Ordinary Ring
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
His Greatest Regret Time For A Break
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." Rome
His Greatest Regret A Simple Merger
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
His Greatest Regret A Petty Liar
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
His Greatest Regret Familiar Pain
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
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
