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

  • His Greatest Regret    Become A Trillionaire

    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

  • His Greatest Regret    Rooted Question

    "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    First Phase

    Chris let out a sigh as he slammed the door to his bedroom shut. Why was he having such a terrible day? Why wasn't one thing going according to his plan?Sure, he too had deleted the pictures from his wall but only because Jessica asked him to. He would have left it there if he had the choice.Thinking about it now, it was wrong that he let Jessica control his every thought and move back then. It was like he was nothing but a puppet to her and he let her control him but not anymore.He was the puppeteer, not the puppet. And no one would control him like that ever again. Not his parents or Jessica.His mind was set on one thing now and that one thing was bringing Cara back into his home. That was the only thing he wanted and he would make sure he did it.Jessica? She could go to hell for all he cared, she wasn't supposed to be in his life in the first place. Not her or their son. It was always meant to be Cara.Sure, it took him a year to realize that, but his eyes were opened now and

  • His Greatest Regret    Can’t Have Kids

    Cara blinked. "Ma--marriage?""Seriously Andrew?" Rick arched his brow. "They just got together and you're already asking them about marriage?""I mean they aren't kids anymore and we are all aware of how much Romeo loves kids and wants to settle down and start his own family." Andrew stated."Let's just skip to the drinking part please? This questioning is boring." Jastrow added.Andrew scoffed. "Alright, alcoholic drunk. Drink till you drop."Just like that, the question was averted.They spent the rest of the day having casual conversations then sometimes it slipped into work talks but only briefly.They drank, danced and partied but Cara was not as free and happy as she was before. She would fake a smile whenever Romeo was around so he wouldn't ask her what the problem was but once he was out of sight, her worry came back to eat at her.'Romeo loves kids and wants to start his own family? That future is impossible with me!' The words haunted her brain.What about his friends, they

  • His Greatest Regret    Cashier Job

    Romeo cupped Cara's face in his arms and smiled softly. "I know. I remember." She blinked. "What?" "One year ago when I went with you to face your ex husband, I remember they said something like that and it really hurt you. I don't have a problem with that. Just to be sure, we will go see my doctor once we are back in the city and whatever he says, we'll move on from there." He explained to her with a calm look on his face. A single tear drop trailed down her face. "You... You remember...? Why didn't you... I mean, they said you love kids, why didn't you... I mean, why are you--""Because I love you." He cut her off. Wrapping his hands around her waist, he pulled her in closer to himself and smiled. "I know I love kids but I can imagine myself living without one of my own... Somehow, I can't imagine myself living without you. Besides, there are tons of kids out there without parents, I can take in as many as I want since I love kids so much." She couldn't control her tears as they

  • His Greatest Regret    Manipulating Him

    Jessica slammed her fist on the table and rose to her feet, aggressively shoving the seat behind her further away. "This is outrageous! It is more than outrageous!" She fumed. "How can you ask for something as lowly as this from me?" She squinted. "I may have little value in your eyes but I know my worth enough to know that I will never be seen working the cash register at some dumb café!" She kept her head high as she spoke.Michael fumed. "How dare you talk back to your mother-in-law like that?!" He rose to his feet like a rising storm. "Do you have any idea of the gravity of what you just did?" He pointed a judgmental finger at her face. "This is the highest form of disrespect in front of your parents in-law!""Go ahead!" Jessica barked. "Get angry! Yell all you want but let me tell you this, however angry you get, it will not drive me to do something as lowly as this. Can't you even stop to think about this for once? This isn't embarrassing for me alone but the entire Knowles fami

  • His Greatest Regret    Back On Dry Land

    Jessica bent her head to the side slightly. "Are you even hearing me?"The maid blinked. "Yes! Oh of course! Thank you so much! I really appreciate this opportunity ma'am, thank you so much! I promise to return this favor someday one way or the other." Tears brimmed at the young girl's eyes.She looked slightly over twenty with beautiful blue eyes and silky blonde hair. Her small body was wrapped in her maid uniform of black and white. Her small dress was black while the apron clinging on to her waist was white. A color to match the scarf on her head.Jessica stared at her with an unreadable expression and rolled her eyes. "Go on then. And next time, don't make a promise you're not so sure you can keep. Also, I don't know how long you get to keep the job so don't look at me like you worship me now."The maid chuckled softly before running off in excitement.Jessica rolled her eyes once more and shook her head. People were so gullible, she thought to herself.The thought led her back t

  • His Greatest Regret    Let's Play Golf

    Cara spent the next few days in the comfort of her home, not bothering to go to work or even go for her pregnancy check up. Her doctor had reached out to her due to her absence and Cara simply said she would visit when she could. She stared at her phone all day, wondering when Romeo would finally call to check up on her. But nothing came through. Not even by accident.Were they really over? She wondered. He asked for a break not that they should cancel their wedding right? Speaking of their wedding, she did not even know if it was already canceled. She could not know anyway, Romeo's parent had taken full charge of planning the entire event and simply told Cara and Romeo to relax. All they had to do was to be there on that day. That day having being a few days away, anxiety was a small word to describe what Cara was feeling. She did not know whether to reach out to him first and ask if they were still getting married. How stupid would that sound though? Or nonchalant and not even

  • 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
