They all looked surprisedly at Romeo, even Andrew. Their sweet smiley boy was never one to curse like that.

Cara took out her phone and responded hesitantly. "It's... It's Chris." She stared at the screen once more. "Wait, what? Why is he calling me?"

"That's what I'd like to know!" Romeo said sharply. "Does he take you for a fool or what? After leaving you like that, he needs to know it's the end of the story for both of you. Why the f*ck haven't you blocked his number anyway?"

Her eyes were wide open. She didn't know why Romeo was so angry. She knew he disliked Chris. Anyone in their right state of mind would. But he never really said bad words out loud or lost his cool like that just at the mention of Chris.

"Uhm... Sorry?" She hesitantly responded. "Uhm... I'll just... I'll pick it up real quick and be right back with you. It seems I didn't make myself clear enough the last time we met." With a sigh, she picked the call and walked out of the mini mart.

Romeo let out a sigh as he r

Why does Chris think she likes cheap things? Maybe because he was cheap with her?

    "You are the worst man-- no, the worst human to ever exist." She said to him."What?" He seemed confused by her sudden rude reply. "What are you...? Cara--""You useless son of a b*tch! What do you actually take me for? A cheap woman? You think I'll come crawling back to you because you bought me a car? A cheap car?!"Who told you it works like that Chris? Rather than apologizing, you just downgraded my life to the lowest level possible and you want me to do what? Tell you I love you and go back to you?"She scoffed a laugh. "I would rather eat sh*t than do that! No, I would rather jump in front of a car and then jump in front of a train and have them dump my body into the river where piranhas can eat me instead of going back to you!""Watch your tone Cara, I am being really open and generous with you here!" He barked. "So if this is a joke then you had better stop it because it is not funny.""Oh honey, it is far from funny." Cara stated. "You are a selfish jerk with the worst person

    Everything about him was perfect. From his looks to his dressing and his smile and his hair. The way the words he spoke rolled off his tongue perfectly made it impossible to guess that he was Asian. Only his Indian last name and skin color gave him away.He stared back at her like someone who was interested in her. But how would she say it-- if need ever be-- that she was only drawn by his good looks but was truly interested in another man?She smiled softly and cleared her head of the thought. "I'll get going now but I'll see you there?""Yeah." He smiled. As she was about to walk away, he called out to her. "Hey, uh, do you think I could get your number?"She smiled.***Romeo sat in the driver's seat with a deep frown on his face. He had seen her walk in and expected her to have walked out a while ago when she noticed he wasn't there.Suddenly he asked himself. "What is wrong with you, Romeo? Why are you being so dramatic? Isn't this for the best?" His brow arched as he asked.He l

    Anger caused her to clench her first till her nails dug into her skin yet she wore a smile on her face like she wasn't even bothered in the slightest way about what she had just witnessed."Alright, alright, you love each other, we get it." Rick rolled his eyes. "Can we just get on the freaking cruiser now? I've grown old while waiting for you guys.""Every time I look at these two, it makes me wanna barf." Andrew rolled his eyes as he said.They all started towards the cruiser while a few men walked over to their car and started unpacking their load.Camilla walked with her arms around Romeo and he placed an arm over her shoulder.He turned to look at Cara and smiled at her. "Let's go."She nodded and followed them. "Uhm but wait, Romeo?"Romeo stopped and Camilla next to him still hugged him tight, her head on his chest.Cara felt awkward to even have a conversation with him with the dark eyed woman around. She pointed at their bags, "our things... Uhm... Will they...?""Oh you don'

    A few hours before night time...Romeo stood by the edge of the ship, relaxing on the railing while the wind ruffled through his hair. A glass of whiskey was in his hand.He had refused to drink from the one Andrew had bought because it was cheap and would probably not be of good quality.He wasn't being judgemental, it was just the way he was trained and brought up.He stared into the deep blue sea, wishing his mind would be at rest like the water. But in his head, there was a heavy storm. If he were to give it a name, he would call it the unresting sea.He was worried since Cara hadn't left her room since they got on the boat but he didn't want to go and see her. His feelings had been getting the best of him lately and he wasn't sure what he would do if he were to be alone with her.Why was it always so hard with women?With a sigh, he raised his glass to his mouth and took a sip from it."Seriously, is this a party or a funeral?" Andrew asked as he walked up to Romeo and relaxed on

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
