His Greatest Regret The D-Day
Jessica stared confusedly at her lover. “What is it that you can't do? Did something happen to you out there?” Her eyes shone with worry and a bit of confusion. Chris shook his head. “No, not that. Nothing bad happened to me. I just mean… Today is the day I get divorced, Jessica and I don't think I can pull through with it.” Her worry turned into disappointment almost immediately as a frown settled on her face. “You can't pull through with it or you don't want to?” A sigh left his mouth. “Jessica–” he whined. “No,” she raised her hand to his face to shun him. “You're the same, both of you!” “What do you mean?” His brow subconsciously arched. “What do I mean? You and Cara, both of you are the same. Why isn't one thing enough for you? Cara cheats and sleeps around with other men because she claims you are terrible at sex which I know is an excuse because you are not terrible. “I don't remember the number of men she has hooked up with and only the heavens know how many more there

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
His Greatest Regret The Good News
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
His Greatest Regret The Last Laugh
"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
His Greatest Regret Those pinning eyes
"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
His Greatest Regret The Recording
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
His Greatest Regret The Video
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
His Greatest Regret A Prosperous Anniversary
Guests had already begun to arrive and Jessica personally went to greet them in her inciting dress. People stared, men with interest and women with disapproval, but Jessica cared less about those judgy eyes that were fixed on her. She did what she did in her sane mind so she owned the dress like a queen, telling herself how much she slayed. Chris on the other hand found himself staring at her curves, once again, he was being lured towards her. Whenever they stood together to greet a guest, he could touch her body sensually, caressing her and feeling her curves. Jessica didn't fight it, she allowed it willingly. When the party was all over, she knew he would come to her and only then would she shut him out. “Thank you for coming,” Michael smiled widely as he greeted the vvip of the events. He was nervously on the lookout for the Armani representatives, usually Tori Armani and her husband, Marcus. But he managed to keep his anxiety from showing on his face as he said hello to his f
His Greatest Regret A PROVOKING DRESS
Jessica stared contentedly at the image in the mirror before her. Looking back at her was a sexy woman dressed in a red rather sexually provoking red armless dress that revealed more than enough skin. Her bare leg up to her thigh was out in the open and so were most of her breast and cleavage. The back and front– save for the bust area– of the dress was plain see through net with floral patterns and the length flowed all the way to the ground. It had beautifully wavy designs and would have been perfect for a night with her husband alone rather than a night with her husband and several prestigious guests as well. Her black six inch heels shone perfectly, a color to match her purse and silver accessories designed her neck and ear. Her mother in law walked in, dressed decently in a mid length white gown that was neither too free nor too tight. Her hair was packed into a perfect ponytail and she had decided on pearls for jewelry. She stared surprisedly at her daughter in law, her jaw
