Cara frowned. "Sure, we do need to talk. Come on in." She pulled the door wide open for him. Though she was acting angry-- which she was-- she was actually startled to see Romeo so... Disorganized.

He was never one to show that side of him to anyone.

He closed his eyes and fought the urge to throw up before opening his eyes back. "I don't... I don't think I should."

Her eyes rolled skyward. Grabbing his hand, she led him into her room and slammed the door.

They stood so closely to each other that the strong smell of alcohol filled up her entire lungs just by standing in front of him. He must have really had a lot to drink.

His cheeks burnt red. He averted his gaze and took a step back.

She scoffed angrily. "What so you're avoiding me now that you're getting married?"

His thick brow arched in confusion. "What?"

"Yeah, I know. Camilla told me about it and even if she hadn't, I saw the ring on her finger and the way she hugged you and wouldn't let go. The way you smiled too, you never sm

  • His Greatest Regret    Confession

    The alarm blared loudly and Cara opened her eyes with a tired groan. Stretching her hand to the table, she turned off the alarm clock and sat up. Looking around, she realized she was the only one in the room. 'What? Did he have a change of mind after thinking it through the night?' She asked herself. She hurried out of bed without changing out of her pajamas. "Rom-- Romeo! Romeo!" She screamed his name as she ran down the hall. Arriving at the bar, she was standing in her pajamas with all eyes on her. Romeo was on his feet as if he had heard her voice and was hurrying to join her. "Cara, hey, are you okay? Did something happen? Is there a leak in your room?" He hurried to meet her as he asked, a worried expression playing on his face. She didn't know how to reply, at least not with everyone staring at her like that. Romeo shook her shoulders gently. "Hey, you okay? You look frightened." "Please tell me the captain died." Andrew said and everyone was looking at him now. Th

  • His Greatest Regret    Dinner

    Chris stared irritatedly at the food that sat on his plate. Ever since he had told Cara about the car he got her and she obviously wasn't pleased by it, he had been trying to reach her but her number was not connecting.She couldn't have... Blocked him? Could She?He couldn't stop asking himself different questions. Was she really on a cruiser with the CEO and founder of Breeze motors? How did she even meet him in the first place? Through Romeo?His brow creased.Dropping his fork, he reached for his phone and clicked on Instagram. He was tired of all the unanswered questions and if it meant he had to stalk around for a little for answers then he was more than willing to do it.The first person he searched for was Andrew Malhotra. Everyone knew that the man and social media were five and six. He liked to post updates and he did so every day.About his outings, new cars, relationships, and friendships. He tended to post a lot.Chris was not all too surprised when he saw a few pictures

  • His Greatest Regret    Kill Yourself

    After forcing two portions of their breakfast down her throat even though she wasn't hungry, Jessica was asked to oversee the maids and assist them in washing the dishes even though she didn't have to.Yet she smiled at Michael and said; "yes dad, I will do just that.""If they break a single plate, Sarah make sure to use the shards to imprint on your face and I won't do anything to stop her because I already warned you." Michael nonchalantly spat out.She nodded with a forced smile. "Yes dad, I understand. You are truly so kind towards me."Michael grunted and walked away, sparing one last glance at her like she was a sight that highly disgusted him.Jessica let out a heavy sigh. She glared at the maids standing behind her. "What are you waiting for? Pack the god damn dishes and go wash them!"They bowed their heads and hurriedly carried the dishes."Break one and I'll not only imprint on your skin, I'll slit your throat with it!" She spat out angrily.They all made sure to be carefu

    "Okay, okay, everybody calm down," Andrew rose to his feet with a glass of whiskey in his hand. "Finally, everyone is here and the mood is f*cking right!" He sighed. "I couldn't be happier."They all chorused a laugh.Cara had gone back to her room, after her conversation with Romeo, to change into something sexy but befitting of the cold weather.She noticed Camilla putting on a lengthy dress that reached all the way down and a pair of black heels. Then her long black hair was left to fall loose over her shoulder and a big jacket was around her shoulders to keep out the cold.So she ruffled through her own clothes and took out a baby pink long sleeved floor length dress that had a slit all the way to her thigh on one side and a few openings around the waist area at the back.Her heels were the same shade of pink as well and so was the small purse in her hand. She had wondered if it needed or not to carry a purse but Camilla was carrying a small black bag and she thought, why not?She

  • His Greatest Regret    Saved

    Jessica stared at the knife in her hand and the one in Chris' hand. Frightened out of her wits. Droplets of sweat trickled down the side of her face and her forehead.She wanted to open her mouth to speak, to tell him she would actually do it. Maybe then he would have been frightened. But fear's grip around her throat made it impossible for her to speak even a single word."Chris!" Michael exclaimed. "J*sus! Put the god damn knife away this instant!""No dad! She said she wants to kill herself, this is what she wants. I can't stand idle and watch her suffer when I can just help her out now can I?" There was a psychotic twist to his tone."Use your god damn words!" Michael yelled. He wanted to approach his son, but even he was scared of the knife in his hand. He turned to look at his wife. "Say something! Your son is about to commit murder!""Murder?" She turned to look at him, her expression was of someone that was surprised but in a bad way. "Oh dear God! Do not use such words in my

    Chris threw on his jacket and stormed off in his car. Arriving at his favorite club, early as it was in the morning, he went and sat down in the vvip room where he always was. He had reserved the place for life. It was practically his home.His girlfriend-- one of his many girlfriends-+ was already there and waiting after receiving a call from him.Sitting on the couch, he took out his phone and began scrolling through all of the pictures."You look quite pissed." His girlfriend commented. "Are you okay?"He sighed. "Just do what you came here for." He rudely responded.She slid her arm across his body and unzipped his pants as she went down on her knees. Taking out his member, she slid it into her mouth and got down to business.Chris heaved a sigh in relief. He kept scrolling through the recent pictures, his eyes refused to believe it when he saw Cara in one of Andrew's posts. She really did know him. He couldn't believe it.Even he had not been invited to party with Andrew though t

    "Cheers!"Andrew Malhotra exclaimed in a cheery tone as they all clinked their drinking glasses together."Okay, now, it's time to play our decent and fun games. Later at night, we'll get a little slutty." He grinned."Okay, okay, let me stop you there." Rick stated. "Decent and fun, sure but slutty? Dude, there are only two women here and one's mine and the other is Romeo's girl. How the hell are things supposed to be slutty because I will not even let you watch Camilla give me a lap dance.""Maybe Jastrow will give him a lap dance." Romeo remarked and they laughed."Come on, come on," Andrew motioned with his hand for them to tone their laughs down. "We all know I am one thousand percent straight and even if I decided to be gay overnight, Jastrow isn't my type.""I don't even want to be your type." Jastrow commented."Whatever." Andrew let his eyes roll skyward. "Okay and don't worry, over possessive Rick, I got a few girls on the ship to dance for us.""Wait," Romeo sat up in his s

  • His Greatest Regret    Any Marshal Plan

    Several minutes passed by, Jessica laid in bed as if she were dead. Staring at the tall ceiling of her room and being unable to piece her thoughts together.Her own husband had held a knife at her and threatened her to kill herself or he would do it for her.It didn't make any sense at all! How could a man change so drastically over the period of a year? Just one year! He used to love her and cherish her and even worship her just a year ago but now he didn't mind if she lived or not.He would even help speed up her death!For the first time since she was laid to bed by the maids, Jessica turned to lay on her side, looking away from the ceiling for once.Her room was large and richly decorated with all the treasuries she had hoped for once she married him. She had married Chris for his money, the fame and power that came with being a Knowles woman but did she ever really stop to think about what it was like on the inside?Were these the things Cara had to tolerate while being Chris' wi

  • 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

    Romeo coughed, choking on his meal. He reached for his glass and took a generous sip from it and returned the glass to the table. “I'm sorry, you caught me off guard.” Clearing his throat, he continued, “I'm… confused. Are you asking me to marry you or are you curious to know if I want to marry you?” “I…” she chuckled softly. “Sorry, I don't– I don't even know where that came from. It's just… I have been thinking– a lot actually about our… future together. I mean, I don't–” she paused, smacking her lips together then scratching her head confusedly. “I mean I don't know what will happen to us and I think I am scared of getting married.” She finally confessed. Romeo squinted, staring into her confused eyes. He reached out and touched the hand of the woman sitting opposite him and smiled. “So this is what that was about…” he softly said.She looked confusedly into his emerald eyes. “What what is about?” Her thin and perfectly shaped brow twitched. He drew his hand back and rose to his

  • His Greatest Regret    Your Plus One

    Romeo got to Cara's house that evening and she gladly offered him some green tea to replenish his strength lost at work. She herself had just returned not quite long. She sat down next to her lover and stared confusedly at him. “You look troubled, is everything alright?” He took a sip from his tea and placed it on the table. “I look like this thanks to fatigue. But, something noteworthy did happen today. Apparently, Jessica came by to my workplace to drop an invitation for me.”Cara's brow furrowed. “An invitation? What did she say to you?” “She didn't wait to see me. She was ‘busy’. But she handed the invitation to my driver and not even my secretary. They are having an anniversary and it is completely normal to reach out to an Armani on things like this but definitely not me. I might hold a prestigious position but my parents are considered to be higher than me and they would have gotten the invite. Or at least they should have. “I don't know if I am being over calculative about

    They all stared confusedly at Michael, waiting for him to explain himself. The man grinned from ear to ear and nodded affirmatively at his daughter in-law. “This is exactly the kind of character we need in the Knowles company, you know how hard we are trying to thrive, with such a determined mind, we can do anything!”He turned to look at his wife. “Sarah, listen to me.”Sarah stared impatiently at her husband, gritting her teeth in annoyance but trying her very best to hold herself back before she scratched out his eyeballs. Michael continued. “You told me personally that you need a break, you said you have not been able to pay close attention to your fashion house, would you rather give her control over what you hold so dearly to your heart or just a simple position in my company?” His brow arched. He walked towards Jessica and touched her shoulder slightly. “This young soul burning with rage is what we need. Of course… I am not happy that my son's marriage is not working out well

  • His Greatest Regret    Ice Cream Date

    Cara slid on her blouse, a shade of green, fitting tightly around her bust and small waist. She pulled her pants up her slim legs and buttoned it properly around her waist. “Don't forget your jacket babe.” Romeo remained her as he dressed himself up properly. She smiled and nodded her head. Throwing her jacket around her shoulders and sliding her arms through the arm holes, she was done dressing and ready to leave. Romeo stopped by the door, his hand resting on the door knob. He sucked in air through his lips and turned back to face Cara. “Are you sure ice cream is really what you want to have for breakfast? You have thought deeply about it? I mean I don't mind, I can whip up something fast and delicious for you if you would like.”“Ice cream will do just fine.” Cara responded with a soft smile. “It's not like I wouldn't enjoy a meal with you, I'm afraid of what might happen.”His emerald eyes sparkled as he squinted. “Happen?” “Men look extra hot in an apron and I might not be a

  • His Greatest Regret    I WANT WHAT I WANT

    Chris arched his brow at his woman. "What is that supposed to mean?"She turned back to look at him and her lips spread into an even wider and grimmer smile. “You had an audience at your own show, it's only right that I get one too.” She rose slowly and dramatically to her feet. “Of course, your father is much of an audience to me, loving, supportive, not to mention rich and handsome, oh Sarah doesn't know what she has. Or shall I call you mother in-law? Whichever you'd prefer.”Michael blushed generously. “You are too kind with your words.” He stood up straight and adjusted his buttoned up shirt. “I see you have taken your time to study me,” a somewhat irritated side glance was casted at his wife, “unfortunately, some people don't appreciate me enough.” Sarah scoffed. “Are you foolish or just plain dumb?” She frowned at her husband. “She has you wrapped around her finger, just the way she wants it!” “Oh dear no, mother in-law, you have got it all wrong.” Jessica faked politeness. “

  • His Greatest Regret    Jessica's Outburst

    Chris stared dumbfounded at his father, confusion and surprise burning in his gaze. Had he heard the man right? Loss control and financial accounting duties? To Jessica? Sarah burst into a loud guffaw. Everyone stared confusedly at her but she kept laughing anyway. "What's so funny, my dear?" Michael finally asked. She wiped a tear from her eyes and finally stopped laughing. "Oh dear, you crack me up sometimes." Michael was confused. "How so my dear?" He arched a confused brow at her. She looked at him as if he was the one acting weird. "What do you mean how so? Jessica? This is more than a joke!" Michael shook his head with a soft sigh. "My love, I am being serious--" "Nonsense!" She barked, cutting him off. "What an outrageous prank this is! You are trying to tell me that this girl will take over my position?" She squinted her eyes softly as if trying to see the sense in what he had just said. "Care to tell me why you are referring to our daughter in-law as this girl?" Mich

  • His Greatest Regret    Back Scrub

    Cara turned in her bed as she began to wake and landed in the strong arms of her beloved Romeo.She let out a soft gasp, hoping not to have startled him awake. But he was still sound asleep. Thankfully. She smiled.She stared at his godly face, wondering how long it must have taken to make a man as fine as that. She felt her cheeks flush red as memories of the past night resurfaced in her mind.She was so sure of it, she had never screamed like that before. Not with any man. Romeo was the first to ever make her wish her body could take more than it originally could. More than it was legal for any body to!'Damn! This man is everything and more!' She bit down on her lips as she thought to herself.Her eyes trailed from his face down to his bare chest and broad shoulders. It wasn't like she was comparing them with each other-- there was nothing to compare about-- but Chris wasn't half the man Romeo was.He wasn't on the same level with him, not in body and skill. Romeo had some impossib
