The times passed by in a very slow motion, her smile had vanished and her face had been painted red with embarrassment. Yet Cara stood there in his arms a second longer before finally– slowly– pulling away from him.

The moments her hands were away from his beck, she hastily stepped back and cleared her throat. “Sorry… about that. I just got overly excited because... well the place is pretty amazing.”

“Why are you sorry?” Romeo's honey and sweet voice stirred her stomach and caused her to redden when she found the courage to look up at him.

A few seconds more, and she would turn purple from holding her breath. So she looked away from him. “I didn't say… I mean I…” she scratched her forehead. “I touched you without your permission and I am sorry for doing that. I should have… have been more careful how I react when I–”

She gasped softly and fell quiet the moment she realized she was resting against his hard chest again.

Romeo had pulled her into his arms this time and hugged her for

If Cara complained that Chris was indecisive, it seems her complaints were justified. He's either weak, or his instincts about Cars being a good woman are pushing through the flattering haze s3x Jesse offered him.

  • 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

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.

    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

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.

    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,

    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

  • 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    From The Trash

    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

    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

  • 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 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

    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

    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.
