The wind blew through her hair, entering her lungs and calming her down from the inside. She breathed, unsteadily and uneasily.

She hated how flustered she was feeling just because of him. 'So what if he is hot hmn?' She asked herself. 'He won't be the first hot guy you have ever seen before so why are you overreacting like this? Huh? Sure, he has an undeniable charm that lures women in, you're not the only one!

'So stop making a fool out of yourself whenever you are around him. Stop letting your guard down like that, besides, he is just a nice guy, you are the one making things complicated. He doesn't feel any special way towards you. Have you ever seen him blush when he is around you?'

"Are you that mad about the elevator?"

She flinched. Turning around, she saw Romeo standing behind her. "Huh?" She asked, her thin brow arching.

"You have been standing here for over two minutes frowning and throwing your hands in the air. You're not saying anything out loud which makes you look r

  • His Greatest Regret    The last floor

    The inside of the building was just as large as Cara had speculated. Different sections filled with dresses, shoes, jewelries and bags of all sorts. Then several top floors for the richer and richer and richer. Someone like her would probably be able to shop in the first floor and highest, the second. She turned to look at Romeo to catch his smile as he nudged his head forward, inciting her to continue their adventure together. Her eyes lingered on his perfect back as he stepped forward and buried himself in the lot of the place. "Wait up!" She hurried after him. Catching up to him, she looked up at his face and noticed his eyebrow twitch skyward thoughtfully and somewhat disappointedly. So she asked. "Is something here not to your liking?" His lips pouted childishly. "This section isn't for us. Come on, onto the next floor." He urged her on and started towards the elevator without waiting. An excited smile played on his lips as he went on. Cara's eyes widened, her mind slow to r

  • His Greatest Regret    The shopping saga

    Lost in her own subconsciousness, a tall buff man in all black and black shades walked towards them, a toothpick in his mouth. "Excuse me?" He called out to them, snapping Cara out of her own thoughts. "Did you two happen to lose something?" Cara's eyes widened. "No, why would you ask that?" "Well because I noticed you on the cctv going from floor to floor without actually picking anything. It's a little suspicious, too suspicious for me. It makes me feel like you are trying to get a mapped detail of the place or something." He explained, hands tucked in his pocket, toothpick sticking to the side of his mouth. "Like for a robbery or something?" Cara's eyes grew wider the moment she realized what they were being accused of. "Your words, not mine, ma'am. If you will not purchase an item then do you mind escorting me to the station? Just for some questioning." He suggested. Her eyes bulged like they would pop out of her head and her fist clenched in anger. "Excuse me!" "Excuse us,"

    Cara's eyes widened. One point seven what? So what? She owed a debt in billions now? Could she ever pay it back in her lifetime? How much of her property would she have to sell before she would be able to pay him back? The attendant nodded her head and began clicking on her laptop. "You--you are R--Romeo Ar--mani?" The security man stuttered as he asked.Romeo turned to look at him. "Oh, yeah, I am. Just another day out in a shopping mall trying to get my usual stealing on am I right?" He smiled. The man immediately bowed his head. A deep bow. "I am so sorry sir! I--I didn't know it was you, sir! I didn't recognize you! I am sincerely sorry!" Cara noticed Romeo's demeanor change, as if possessed by his other self. His brow arched up irritatedly and his smile vanished the sun in the night. "A thief huh?" His voice ran cold like a chill in the night. Brads of sweat trailed down the man's face as he hung his head upside down in a bow. "I am so sorry sir! I would have never... I woul

  • His Greatest Regret    Divorce papers

    Jessica paced about in her living room. Ever since she caught Chris cheating, he was yet to return home. What if he never returned? Could he really abandon her and their smile child just like that? Why did he have to cheat on her? Of all the women in the world, she deserved to be loved by him forever. So why cheat? She felt like she was going crazy. Cara's words kept coming back to haunt her, why did she have to be right about Chris? She growled and pulled at her hair monstrously. What was she going to do with that son of a--"Is something the problem?" Jessica's head snapped to the side at the abruptness of a voice disturbing her concentration. She was about to spit out all of the venom inside her at the person when she realized it was her mother in law. "Oh," she said softly. "Nothing, nothing is wrong. I was just... Uhm..." "Is the baby driving you crazy with his tears?" Her mother in-law's brow arched as she asked. The woman walked sophisticatedly to the couch and sat down.

    Crouching to the floor, she picked up one of the scattered papers on the ground and just like he had hinted on, it was a divorce paper. Tears trailed down her face as her heart wrenched. "You are going to divorce me?" Her voice shook as she spoke. "No no," Chris responded. "Those aren't meant for me. They are meant for you. You will divorce me when you can no longer live by my rules but if my plan works out perfectly then yes, I will divorce you." She looked up at him, teary eyed. "Chris, this isn't--""See you at home darling." His lips curved into a mocking smile. Running his hand through his hair, he returned both of his hands into his pocket and walked out of the room, hitting Jessica with his leg on his way out. She fell to the ground as more tears poured down her face. Why was this happening to her? Was it Cara's wish for bad luck to befall her happy marriage that was coming true? Yes! It had to be that! Because she didn't want to believe that it was Chris who had been such

    "What are you doing just standing there like a stranger?" Miranda's voice cut through Cara's thoughts like a sharp scissors. "Get over here, it's chilly outside."Cara blinked. "Huh? Oh yes, coming."They all went inside and Kenneth, her father, was already by the door to welcome them.Sitting at the dining table, Romeo ate his meal in utter silence. Cara couldn't help but to spare a few glances at him as he ate. There was a sophistication in the way his body was positioned and the way he moved his hands. He ate in a princely manner and held up his table manners without any discomfort or stress.He was really a billionaire trained to be sophisticated and elegant in every aspect. Except for his childishness around her some-- most of the time. Her lips curved into a smile before she even realized it."Something funny dear?" Miranda asked as she looked at Cara.Cara raised her head and noticed Romeo was now staring at her as well as her father. But she locked gazes with Romeo.He looke

    The rest of the meal was downed in silence. Miranda prepared a lunch box filled with chocolate snacks for Romeo."Thank you so much for having me over, Mr and Mrs Smith." Romeo thanked them. "I hope I didn't ruin the mood by telling you Cara and I are just friends?" The look on his face had a hint of guilt."Oh of course not!" Miranda expressed joyously. "You simply told us the truth. Sure I was hurt because you are such a fine young man who is also very intelligent and caring, your kind rarely exists. But as it is, it is obvious there is no romantic feeling between the two of you so I hope you continue to be good friends with each other."Romeo smiled, a smile of relief. "Thank you so much for understanding. Then I look forward to your invites?""You are welcome in my home any time, sonny." Kenneth added with a serene smile. He touched Romeo's shoulder gently and tapped it. "Thank you for all of your help and for staying by Cara's side as a good friend. You stuck by her while we were

    Romeo kept sparing glances at her he drove, he didn't like the infinity that kept them apart. He never meant for her to get hurt like that. He took one last look at her and decided to speak up."Listen I didn't say any of those things to hurt your feelings, all I wanted to do was to make your parents understand the kind of relationship we had--""Can you stop saying that? I-- I told you that I understand." She responded without looking at him."If you understand then look at me," his voice had a different tone to it. Anger. "Hey!" He said sternly. "I don't appreciate this infinity you are trying to put between us. I'm sorry if I have hurt your feelings but this is not the way to settle anything.""You didn't hurt my feelings, okay!" She responded sharply. Her tone could slice through rock perfectly without rough edges."Then what is this? Look at me when I am talking to you." His voice darkened. The soft and charming Prince sounded dominant and commanding but not in a harsh way.She f

    Moments passed by so slowly, Cara took more than enough time to stare at the image of perfection staying on one knee right in front of her.When she realized that her heart was about to explode from all the excitement that was traveling through her body, she jerked her hand from his face with an abruptness and her elbow went straight for her glass.She drew back a breath of shock upon noticing what she had done, "oh dear!" She exclaimed and tried to catch the glass but its content ended up spilling on the table. "Ah! I'm so sorry..." Jerking back to avoid the wine from spilling on her dress, she knocked her chair over with a loud clatter and reached for that one too but it had already touched the ground."Sorry, for that, I'm so sorry for ruining dinner." She instantly apologized, her eyes taking up the mess she had created around her.She heard a muffled laughter and she looked up from the mess, only to realize Romeo was now on his feet as well, staring at her with a hand over his

    "I think Romeo feels like he can truly breathe again thanks to you." Camilla said with a smile on her face.Cara felt her cheeks redden and she smiled softly."Okay. So that's what we are going to do. Now, let us share our duties. I will work on the decorations, what's left is cake, drinks, appetizers and presents. You all should decide on which one you feel capable of doing." Andrew said."I'll take the cake!" Camilla exclaimed excitedly. "The caterers in charge of our wedding makes the best of the best cakes. She is very talented and I think she will be able to make a good iron man cake."Do you think it should be a statue of him? I mean Iron man. I think that will look very cool and mature!""Sure, you're on cake. Just make sure it's perfect and more than one please." Andrew ordered."I'm on appetizers." Jastrow said.

    Cara had a smile on her face. Winter had come and the weather was perfectly chill. Days had gone by in peace and she could finally escape from the stress of her work and meet up with her new friends who treated her no differently even though she wasn't rich like either of them.Andrew tossed her a can of chilled coke and sunk into his soft sofa. "You know I had a feeling that those two lovebirds would be the last to join us." He said to Cara."It's always them." Jastrow added."Hey, you can't blame them," Cara said with a smile. "They have a wedding to prepare for.""True but the wedding isn't today so why aren't they here yet? Just one day to plan the perfect surprise, we are all busy with our jobs so they should not use the wedding as an excuse." Andrew explained.Cara simply smiled. Wedding preparation was always more grand than outsiders thought. They couldn't know the stress unless they were the ones getting married.So she didn't bother to raise an argument to contradict Andrew'

    Days had gone by and silence was proudly dominating the home of the Knowles family. Sarah Knowles had not spoken to her husband ever since he took Jessica's side and not hers while Jessica herself walked around the house like a ghost no one could see.She didn't pretend to be nice to her mother in law, the woman was of no use to her. She smiled at her father in-law, acting nice to him just to get into his head like a parasite and feed on his brain.It was working, that was the only reason she kept it up.And to Chris, she ignored him like he was the ghost. A ghost she didn't see or cared less about. To her, he was just as insignificant as their plant to her. Less insignificant even.She found herself thinking of a man before falling asleep though, a handsome man, suit and tie yet underneath he was like Superman.He was handsome, impossibly good looking for that matter. With eyes that seduced just about anyone and a smile that was even more beautiful than a sunset and a sunrise.Romeo

    Chris rose to his feet under the watchful gaze of Cara. His body shook with anger and he clenched his fist. With a glare, he warned Romeo through gritted teeth. "This isn't over yet, pretty boy. I promise you."Cara scoffed a laugh, trying not to find it unbelievable that Chris was going to such extents. Didn't he boast on the day of their divorce that she would be the one to beg him to take her back? Why was he so desperate now?She watched him storm to his car and drive off, leaving them with nothing but his dust. Her eyes landed on Romeo and sorry flickered across them as she scanned his body for any sign of injury."Are you okay? Were you hurt?"Romeo smiled softly. He had been the one that landed the blows yet she was worried about him. His eyes lit up like an excited puppy. "I'm alright." He took her hand in his. "As long as you are."She nodded her head with a weak smile. A soft sigh escaped her mouth and Romeo cupped her cheek.He looked into her eyes, his emerald balls of mag

    "I think that is very weird but it's not important to me right now. Can you just tell me if Cara is here or not? I really need to talk to her like right now." Chris sounded desperate and pleadingly polite.Andrew let out a sigh. "I don't know the full story so I'm not going to pretend like I do. Just make it quick, I'll call her out for you."He poked his head into the shop and called out for Cara. Cara confusedly walked out with her boyfriend's arm around her shoulder and Rick and Camilla behind them as well and a small shopping bag. Her eyes squinted as they landed on Chris as if she wanted to confirm if she was hallucinating."Chris?!" Her eyes widened as she exclaimed, knowing that he was truly there. "What the f*ck?!""That's what I said except with an 'actual'." Andrew chirped in.Chris' eyes fell on Romeo's arms around Cara's neck and he angrily gritted his teeth. He frowned. "Have you slept with him yet?" His brow arched."What the f*ck! Why would you even ask me that!" She an

    Chris got into his car and drove all the way to the place where Cara's ship had arrived. Unfortunately, he didn't meet anyone. He felt so angry but decided to calm down and check around, they couldn't have gotten too far ahead if he sped up.Only a while ago did Andrew update it that their ship had sailed back safely which meant they were still around somewhere.He bumped into one of the dock workers who immediately apologized to him on seeing his nice dressing and car keys in his hand."Uh excuse me!" He called out to the man who was about to walk away after a short bow of his head. "I'm looking for my... Friend...? My friend uh... Andrew Malhotra, his ship sailed in just a while ago and he texted me to meet up here but I don't know where.""Ohh, I'm sorry but I don't know that name. Except if he was one of young master Romeo Armani's friends." The man stated.Chris nodded his head swiftly. "Yes, yes! He's one of you-- one of Romeo's friends.

    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

"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!
