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

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

4.HIS NEW PLANJessica walked into her husband's room with a stern expression on her face. She didn't even bother to knock."I'll see you soon, babe." He said on the phone. Then blew a kiss through the phone while smiling widely.She slammed the door behind herself and crossed her arms below her breast and watched him hang up before speaking. "Really? Are you not even worried that your parents will hear? They are within these walls for God's sake!"He looked plainly at her. "Do I look like I care?" His tone was like someone who wasn't bothered but nonchalant. He was lying on the bed, but he rose to a sitting position. "What do you want? Barging into my room like that, it better be good.""I am your wife, Chris, and no matter what you say, I will forever be your wife! We are still legally married and I will not adhere to any silly talk of divorce!" She spat out angrily.He smiled and nodded. "Okay, can you leave now? I'm busy.""Your son has been crying all day and there is no one to

His Greatest Regret A Strict Warning
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. "Thi
His Greatest Regret An Apology Note
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. As you know, I am a very busy woman so please get straight to the point. I have t
His Greatest Regret A Strict Warning
Cara rose from the dining chair and went into her bedroom to get a change of clothes. Putting on a semi formal black and white dress, she put on a pair of black high heels and packed her hair behind her. Picking up a black small bag to match with her shoe, she walked out of her room and got ready to leave. Jessica had also texted her the address of the said place for them to meet, a high end bar not too far from Cara's residence, and she decided to drive herself there. The time to meet was in two hours time but she wanted to get there early to survey the place, just in case Jessica had fixed any hidden cameras or something like that. She got there in less than thirty minutes. Arriving there, she made herself comfortable by sitting at the bartender's front. She decided to take something soft, after all she was with a baby. She would never get used to the fact that she was pregnant. "Would you like anything else, ma'am?" The young bartender asked her. She shook her head, "no thank
His Greatest Regret Phase One
Plans were made on how to begin their finding for the truth, of course, Romeo offered to carry all the responsibilities so he would avoid stressing her. He put her to bed that night and left early in the morning after preparing breakfast for her and every other necessary thing. Cara woke up early in the afternoon, feeling refreshed after a good night rest. She freshened up and went into the kitchen. She was not surprised to find freshly cooked meals in the kitchen but she was pleased. All day long, she kept touching her stomach, thinking about her baby that was now growing inside of her. How was the baby doing? Was the baby healthy? Did babies inside the womb sleep? If they did, was her baby sleeping?She did not know whether to eat much or not, but she did not have appetite to eat that morning. Shaking her head, she told herself to stop thinking about the baby and focus more on the new task at hand. Just at the thought of the Knowles family, her phone started ringing and it turne

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
His Greatest Regret A New Plan
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

"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
