His Greatest Regret Take Over
As much as she insisted that it was okay if she took a bus alone to her parents house, Romeo refused and told her he would drive her himself.“There seems to be more important things than our trip now.” He remarked.She smiled briefly. Her head was lost in a series of thoughts. Why was her father suddenly retiring? She knew the company was not doing well but with enough hard work, they could stop it from going bankrupt.Was he feeling like he was too old for business hassle? All of a sudden? Did her step mother consent to the decision? Why would they think such a decision was a wise one to make?She had so many questions written down in her head to ask them once they arrived there which wouldn't be long anymore.Arriving at their family house, she decided to invite Romeo inside. Since he was intelligent business wise, maybe he could chirp in a few words to back her up.Miranda, her step mother, served both of them tea. “You hardly come home these days. We miss you.” She had a warm smi

Cara was filled with a sense of responsibility all of a sudden. Her father had trusted her enough to hand over his company to her and she would make sure not to let him down!She stopped and turned around to say goodbye to her family once more. Her step mother, Miranda took her hands in hers. “Are you sure you don't want to stay? You can live with us forever if you'd like!” Cara smiled. “It's okay. Romeo said he has it all sorted out and besides, Joshua is enough trouble for you. More than enough even.” She turned to glare at her brother. Joshua stood with his shoulder held up high and his chest buffed. “Hey, I can assure you, I am no trouble at all. I make a decent amount enough to take care of both of them and I have never made them feel uncomfortable before.”“I still don't get why you haven't gotten a place of your own when you are pretty capable of doing so.” Cara's head tilted to the side as she asked him. Her hands crossed below her bosoms. “Extra rent, feeding expenses, no

Cara stared wide eyed at him like he had said something so crazy and absurd. A house! A freakin house! He bought it for her? Why? “Is something wrong? Hold on.” Romeo spoke up. He clicked on the mini screen of the car and set it to auto drive then let go of the steering wheel to look at her properly. “Did– did I make a mistake by buying the house? I made a few efforts while we were back at your parents house.”“You bought me a house!” She stressed on the word so he would understand what she was saying. “Romeo, that's… that's too expensive! How do I pay you back?” He smiled softly, looking like the most handsome playboy in the world. “Carina… you don't have to pay me back.” His voice was as soft as the wind. “But I do! This is an entire house! All to myself? Why?” She didn't know how to react to this information. She kept feeling like she was panicking. Probably feeling like it would be too costly if she had to pay him back. “Because you need one, remember?” He responded amidst a s

The times passed by in a very slow motion, her smile had vanished and her face had been painted red with embarrassment. Yet Cara stood there in his arms a second longer before finally– slowly– pulling away from him. The moments her hands were away from his beck, she hastily stepped back and cleared her throat. “Sorry… about that. I just got overly excited because... well the place is pretty amazing.” “Why are you sorry?” Romeo's honey and sweet voice stirred her stomach and caused her to redden when she found the courage to look up at him. A few seconds more, and she would turn purple from holding her breath. So she looked away from him. “I didn't say… I mean I…” she scratched her forehead. “I touched you without your permission and I am sorry for doing that. I should have… have been more careful how I react when I–”She gasped softly and fell quiet the moment she realized she was resting against his hard chest again. Romeo had pulled her into his arms this time and hugged her for

Jessica stared confusedly at her lover. “What is it that you can't do? Did something happen to you out there?” Her eyes shone with worry and a bit of confusion. Chris shook his head. “No, not that. Nothing bad happened to me. I just mean… Today is the day I get divorced, Jessica and I don't think I can pull through with it.” Her worry turned into disappointment almost immediately as a frown settled on her face. “You can't pull through with it or you don't want to?” A sigh left his mouth. “Jessica–” he whined. “No,” she raised her hand to his face to shun him. “You're the same, both of you!” “What do you mean?” His brow subconsciously arched. “What do I mean? You and Cara, both of you are the same. Why isn't one thing enough for you? Cara cheats and sleeps around with other men because she claims you are terrible at sex which I know is an excuse because you are not terrible. “I don't remember the number of men she has hooked up with and only the heavens know how many more there

The time slowed down and she was grateful for it because she could stare into his eyes longer. His smile, those beautiful green orbs he called eyes, his everything! How could she not stare?She was always the kind to stop and appreciate a work of art. “So do you… do you need me to come with you?” His honey tone made her sway. She blinked. “Huh? Oh sure! Yeah, I mean… I could use the company. I didn't tell anyone back at home it was today because I knew they would flood the place and make a scene.”“Good choice.” He responded then let out a soft laugh. “Let's go.”With a nod, she closed the door and followed him. While inside his car, she kept tugging at her dress to somehow make it longer and cover up her legs. She felt uncomfortable revealing so much– too much even!-- but sadly, her dress didn't become any longer. Romeo smiled softly. Putting his BMW on autopilot, he took off his jacket and covered her legs without saying anything. She was surprised but more ashamed. She had hop

The event didn't take too long, all they had to do was sign a few papers and they were done. The one month waiting period of course still stood and they would have to come back then to finalize their divorce but this stage had been completed.“Carina,” Romeo called her name tenderly. “Now that you are officially single, what do you say we finally go on that trip we have been postponing?”She gave him a weak smile. “Okay. But let's leave tomorrow.”“No problem. So I was thinking maybe we could use this as an opportunity to celebrate your divorce. You have been set free from the shackles of your marriage so let's celebrate–”“Cara!” Chris called out her name. “Wait right there.” He ordered.Cara sighed and crossed her arms below her breast. She had covered herself up with Romeo's jacket and the only meaning Chris had read to it was that they were head over heels for each other which did nothing but infuriate him.“Isn't this all too soon?” His voice burnt with rage. “You're not even goi

Cara remained quiet all through the ride. She held back on her tears as they kept threatening to fall. It was a lot of work to keep those waters from pouring down her face.Arriving at her complex building, she got out of the car and Romeo saw her off to her apartment. She still had to fake being okay even though it was very evident on her face that she was not.Her legs trembled as she walked but anytime it happened, Romeo held her up with a gentle smile, knowing well what she was going through and not asking any questions.It had hurt him– even though the words weren't directed at him– when Chris had talked about her inability to have children. It wasn't her fault and he wished he could tell that to her.At the entrance of her apartment, she stopped and turned to him with a soft smile. “Thank you for today. You are always so helpful.” Her voice was empty of life.Romeo felt so heartbroken looking at her like that. She was too shattered to be put back together by a few words but he s

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
His Greatest Regret Giovanni In The City
Cara opened her eyes to the realization that she was alone in bed. She sat up and looked around only to notice that Romeo's clothes were no where to be found. Had he gone without waking her? She asked herself. Climbing out of bed, she fetched a plain white T-shirt and threw it on over her naked body then went to the living room. The stomach tingling scent of fresh toasts and fish sticks as well as coffee hit her nose and she was drawn to the kitchen. She paused and leaned against the counter, a smile playing on her delicate face. Standing before her was a shirtless man in an apron, completely focused on the eggs he was preparing in a pan. His muscled arms were all she could stare at and his chest. The apron revealed part of his abs and most of his chest and all of his back. She would be lying if she said his perfectly built body was not a great turn on. Biting down on her lower lips, she watched him cook the meal like a pro, all she wanted at that moment was for him to cook her
