She blinked. Clearing her throat, she managed to rid her face of every look of surprise but not after Cara had seen everything.

"You think that..." Jessica started but swallowed before continuing. "You really think that I will believe the words that come out of your mouth?"

"Looks like you already did." Cara smiled. "But hey, eat it up, puke it out, I don't give a f*ck, I already served the meal warm and delicious. Now if there is nothing of importance that you came to see me for, kindly get the f*ck out of my office and my company. Oh and darling? Never step foot in this place ever again or I'll freaking get you arrested!"

The look on her face was stern which made Jessica understand that that was no empty threat.

She cleared her throat dryly and managed an empty smile. One that barely touched her lips spoke less of her eyes. "I'll get out of your hair... For now. As long as you steer clear of my husband, I don't think we will have a problem."

"Yay thanks." Cara rolled her eyes along

It's so refreshing that Chris's friends made themselves "former friends" because they don't approve of his man-whore ways. Non-toxic masculinity!

  • His Greatest Regret    Caught In The Act

    Jessica listened to the beep sound indicating that he had hung up in a state of awe. She couldn't understand why Mathew would say such words to her.Why were they no longer friends with Chris? Because he chose her over his wife at the time? How could they take Cara's side when they feigned ignorance for so long when they knew she and Chris were always hooking up?What a petty move! She thought to herself. Trying to pretend like they weren't guilty as well."Fine!" She exploded at the phone. "I won't ever call you because I don't need help from shitty people like you!"That must have been the reason her number was already blocked in Max's phone.Hissing, she picked up her bag and threw it on her shoulder. If Chris was anywhere in the world that she knew of then it would be his favorite club.Hopefully he wasn't there.But she dashed out of the house anyway and hurried to the club. Not even thinking twice about her son that was asleep upstairs.Even though he wasn't making a single soun

  • His Greatest Regret    The Weekend

    Cara picked up her bag before closing time to leave. The investors had apologized because they had to cancel the dinner. Each of them were busy with something important that had come up and she didn't actually mind it.She was too tired mentally to even relate properly with them so it was a good thing that they had to call it off."Hello Maisie?" Cara called her personal assistant. "I'll be heading out early, any report you would like to share before I leave?""Can you wait for just five minutes ma'am? I'll be in your office before then with a report." Maisie responded."Okay, no problem. I'll be waiting."She hung up and relaxed into her seat. Five more minutes was no problem.Exactly three minutes later, Maisie was in her office with a report tendered properly. Cara went through everything and was finally done after about fifteen minutes."I'll be on my way now." She said to Maisie who responded with a bow.Getting to her feet, she heard a knock on her door and the secretary popped

    Romeo blinked.It took a moment for him to understand what he had said correctly and the reason she was feeling so flustered. His eyes shone in realization."Oh wait no!" He exclaimed. "That is not what I meant. Okay, uh it's not what I meant to say. What I meant by what I said is that I want you to spend a fun weekend with us."Cara's brows creased. "Us?" She poured confusedly."No, uhm..." He rubbed his forehead and cleared his throat. "Okay. So a few close friends and I-- we knew each other from business and whenever they were throwing a party or hanging out somewhere, they always invited me so I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to invite them too. Anyway-- we are going on a cruise to celebrate, spending the weekend on a cruise ship and it would mean the world to me if you could attend it."Cara sighed softly. A sigh of relief. Why was it so flustering spending time alone with a man? There were women out there who hooked up with strangers and called it one night stands so why did

  • His Greatest Regret    The Dinner Request

    Romeo's brow twitched upward as he stared at Cara who didn't take her eyes off him. Why was she acting like she had just heard something ridiculously absurd about him? And she refused to get off the phone already so he could ask her about it!"Oh uh... I'll... I'll see what I can do about that." Cara hesitantly responded, finally looking away from him. She hung up and slipped her phone into her purse. "Okay firstly," Romeo started. "Whatever they said, I didn't do any of it."She let out a soft chuckle. "What in the world are you talking about?" She continued outside of her office after twisting the door knob open. Romeo followed. "I mean, the way you were looking at me made it look like they--whoever you were on the phone with--said something unbelievably terrible about me which obviously i didn't do cause I am just a little sweetheart." He smiled. Cara looked up at him as if he had just told a lie and his brow arched. "What's with that judging look?" He asked her. She smiled a

    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    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

  • His Greatest Regret    Talks Of Marriage

    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

    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
