After I leave the house, now I'm in the club and it looks like the bartender is shocked to see me here again,
I immediately go in front of him but I stop for a minute when he calls someone on his phone,
he put down his phone and I see that he click the speaker on his phone, "That bastard," I whispered, "excuse me? are you saying something?" the bartender said,
I shake my head and close my arms, "Anyways what's your name?"I said and smirked, I see that he gulped, "You see, I missing someone right now, so can I ask for something?" I said and stretch my arms,
"Y-Yes ma'am! one heavenly drink," he said making me get confused and cross my arms, "I don't ask about that though," I said seriously but at the same time I'm feeling happy and I feel I wanna laugh because the evils whispered Harreld is annoyed right now,
"M-Maam? W-What you mean HA-HA" he said while looking at his phone, "I mean, I don't ask for HEAVENLY DRINK, I don't need th----"
"--Okay stop! I'm really annoyed right now, I'm going there! Don't leave, I need an explanation. BEEEEEBBB!"
he hang up the call, I did not expect that though, how boring. "I was about to ask for his phone number but you said something else, now he's mad how can I ask him to stop messing with my ex-husband," I said annoyed to the bartender, "Why was it my fault? I just follow what the boss said," he said that make me roll my eyes,
"Marisa, let's move place"
He's fast who would think he will be here immediately, "Why are you mad?" I ask and let him take my hand, "Are you asking the obvious?" He said and smirked,
"Yes? Is there a problem?" I said and he get annoyed more, "Why did you go to the club?" He said with an angry look, "To ask something of that bartender, how would I know that he will contact you"I said that made him release my hand,
"You go there to ask his name!? Am I not enough for you?"He said that made me want to laugh, because he's so cute, "What are you smiling for? Are you happy that I look like this!"He said that made me look at him seriously,
"Yes," I said which made him grit his teeth, "Because you're so cute," I said and touch his face and smile at him, "A-Am I?" he asked that made me nod, he looks into another way that made me laugh, "But you go to the club to ask the bartender," He said and close his arm,
"I actually want to ask your number, but he spits nonsense, It's not my fault that you misunderstand," I said and look at him seriously, "For what? I thought no communication?" he said seriously,
I sigh and mess up my hair, "Let's stop the deal" I said that made him confused, "I mean, let's stop because I already lose and stop spreading rumors already because I cheated on him too, even if it's just a one night, and besides even the world knows that we are married, for us, we never become for each other. Will gonna divorce, it's just funny because he's the one who opens that up, maybe if it's not for my mother and his father? Maybe we learn to love each other because now, we gaslight each other that it's pity and not love," I said and sigh,
"do you love him?" he asked seriously, "Of course, would I forgive him immediately if not? would I set him free if not?" I said that made him annoyed and confuse, "If you love him, why didn't you fight for him?"He ask seriously that made me laugh, "Because my love for him is not enough to not miss you and choose you," I said and turn my back to him,
"He can never love me, he can never touch me, and also I can't love him just like what you think, because it's not because of you, It's because we choose not to be in love, with each other at the first place, because we pity each other, to the point were afraid, communicating for each other," I said and turn around to him and smile,
"I don't get it, but if that means you being with me and you end up being with him, it's fine," he said and hug me,
"anyways I need your number, I'm going to get busy because of the company, and I need to take care of the divorce paper, also need to find a new home, because the house I'm staying in before is the house of Claymon, and I said I don't want it, or should I make a private room in my office? Just like what Claymon did in his office? Hmm, that's a good idea" I said without thinking that Harreld is getting annoyed again,
"You finally shut up, give me your phone," He said and smirked,
I give my phone to him and unexpectedly he got us a picture and immediately made it wallpaper, "What the h-k? are you being jelly? We are not in a relationship though" I said and laugh,
he look annoyed and smirked, "Fine I'm sorry" I said and I see him type his phone number and nickname it 'Husband' "What!? when did it happen?" I ask in shock, "Probably when you said I love you to me, while you didn't say that to your husband" he said and give me back my phone,
"Don't change it, I told you to take responsibility for me" He said and hug me, "I miss your warmth, do you know that? "He said that made me feel un-secure,
if one day you choose to distance yourself because I'm in danger because of you, would you still say that?
"Of course, you'll say that!" I said and smile,
"Ha? Anyway, if you don't have a place to go, you can stay at my place in the meantime" He said that made me laugh, "Only stay? I doubled that" I said and I see him do a side look, "Yeah right, but I'm still not divorced so calm yourself" I said and he nodded,
"You change," I said that made him confused, "What do you mean," He said that made me laugh,
"How can I say this, Hmmm... You become more understanding and sweet" I said which made him laugh, "Did I? Maybe because this day is unexpected, we made a deal recently and I was shocked when I found out you're in the club, I thought I need to wait for a week but maybe it thanks to him," He said that made me confuse,
him? did he mean Claymon? "Then you should say thanks to him in the future," I said and hugged him, "Yes I'll do that," he said.
At this time I already know that I'm in danger, but I can just learn how to fight back, if I said Awhile a go that I don't care, this time I care, because if this guy suddenly chooses to distance himself from my sake, I will literally destroy everything even if I don't know how,
"Marisa, you really need to figure things out," Harreld said, pulling me closer. "You can’t keep bouncing between him and me. It’s not fair." I sighed, feeling the weight of his words. "I know, but it’s complicated. I can’t just turn off my feelings." His gaze softened. "Then let’s make it less complicated. What if we just focus on us, at least for now?" I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "You think that’s possible?" "Why not? Let’s explore what we have before worrying about the rest," he replied, determination in his eyes. I nodded slowly, a sense of hope sparking within me. "Okay, but you have to promise to be honest. I can’t handle any more secrets." He smiled, a warmth radiating from him. "I promise, Marisa. We’ll navigate this together." "Together," I echoed, feeling the tension ease a bit. "But you know my past is messy, right?" Harreld leaned in closer, lowering his voice. "I’m not afraid of a little mess. I want to understand you, all of you." I bit my lip, weighing his
Sitting at my sleek, modern desk, I looked out at the bustling office around me. The hum of conversations blended with the clattering of keyboards, a familiar backdrop that usually calmed me. Today, though, my mind was anything but calm. “Focus, Marissa,” I whispered to myself, pushing back thoughts of Harreld and the whirlwind of emotions I was grappling with. I needed to center myself for the upcoming meeting, but it felt like my brain was a chaotic storm.My phone buzzed insistently, pulling me from my thoughts. I glanced at the screen: a reminder about my meeting with the legal team regarding my divorce. “Great, just what I need,” I muttered, feeling the weight of dread settle in my stomach. “You can handle this,” I coached myself, though the self-assurance was shaky at best. “You’ve thought it through. Time to move on.”As I gathered my notes, my assistant Jamie poked her head in. “Hey, you okay? You seem distracted.” Her tone was gentle, but I could hear the concern in her voi
Absolutely! Here’s a scene focusing on Marissa and Harreld as they deepen their emotional connection without crossing any boundaries.---### Marissa’s POV: An Unexpected EveningAs we settled into the cozy hotel room, the atmosphere was charged with a mix of excitement and nervous energy. Harreld’s gaze was steady, and I felt a flutter in my stomach. “Are you sure about this?” he asked, his voice a soft rumble.I nodded, my heart racing. “I want to be here with you.” He stepped closer, and I felt the warmth radiating from him. “Let’s take our time,” he suggested, brushing his fingers lightly along my arm. The touch sent a shiver down my spine, igniting a spark of electricity between us.We moved to the plush bed, and I sank into the softness, feeling both nervous and exhilarated. “This feels surreal,” I thought, glancing up at him. “But it’s also what I need.”Harreld settled beside me, our knees touching. “Tell me about your day,” he said, his tone inviting. I could see genuine int
I sat at a corner table in the café, swirling my coffee and watching the steam rise. Claymon walked in, looking as disheveled as I felt. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Did he really think he could waltz back into my life after everything? When he approached, I gestured for him to sit, but I felt a strange sense of detachment. “So, you decided to show up,” I said, leaning back in my chair, feigning nonchalance.“Yeah, I thought we should talk,” he replied, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.I sipped my coffee, the warmth only reminding me of how cold our relationship had become. “Talk? About what? How you decided to cheat on your wife while I was right in front of you?”He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I know I messed up, Marissa. I didn’t want it to end up like this.”“Didn’t want what?” I challenged, raising an eyebrow. “To hurt me? Or to have me finally see you for what you are?”He winced, and for a fleeting moment, I felt a pang of guilt. But it quickly faded. “I
The wind whipped through my hair as I leaned against the railing of the balcony, staring out at the sprawling landscape below. The mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks dusted with snow, while the sun dipped low in the sky, painting everything in hues of orange and purple. This place was a far cry from the chaos of my life back home.Harreld stood beside me, his presence both comforting and intense. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, a stark contrast to the chill in the air. I had always felt a connection with him, a spark that ignited something deep inside me, but I was still grappling with the remnants of my past. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, his voice low and smooth. I nodded, trying to push aside the thoughts of Claymon and the mess we left behind. "It is. I never thought I’d find peace like this."Harreld turned to me, his gaze piercing. "You deserve this, Marissa. You deserve to be happy."There was a sincerity in his tone that made my heart flutter, yet I
Harreld’s presence had shifted something inside me, igniting a flame I thought was extinguished. I stepped into the sleek, black car he had waiting, and as I settled into the leather seat, I caught his gaze—intense, almost protective.“Where to?” I asked, trying to keep my tone light despite the weight of our recent conversations.“Somewhere we can talk privately,” he replied, his voice low and serious.The drive was filled with electric tension, the kind that buzzed just beneath the surface. I knew Harreld was a mafia boss, a powerful figure who commanded respect and fear. But right now, it was his gentleness that intrigued me. I could sense the complexity behind his rugged exterior.“Are you worried about Claymon?” he asked, breaking the silence. His eyes flickered toward me, gauging my reaction.“I’m not worried about him,” I said firmly. “I’m more concerned about what comes next for me. I’m done with that chapter.” Harreld nodded, though his expression remained serious. “Good. Y
The neon lights of the club flickered as I pushed through the heavy door, the bass thumping like my heart. I hadn’t intended to come here again, but something about the chaos felt comforting after everything with Claymon. The bartender's startled look reminded me I was stepping back into a world I thought I had left behind."Marissa!" he called, but I waved him off, already scanning the room for a familiar face. I wasn’t here for him—I was here for Harreld.He was leaning against his sleek black car outside, arms crossed, a figure of calm in the chaos around him. As I approached, I could see the tension in his shoulders. “You’re late,” he said, his voice low, almost teasing.“Traffic,” I replied, smirking, but I could sense he wasn’t in the mood for jokes.“Let’s talk,” he said, his expression shifting from playful to serious. “I need to know what happened with Claymon.”I sighed, the weight of my recent conversations flooding back. “We talked. It’s over. He… he doesn’t love me, and I
The sun was setting as I leaned against the balcony railing, staring out at the city skyline. My thoughts were a chaotic swirl, much like the colors of the sunset. I had left Claymon behind—his coldness, the hurt, the pity that clung to us like an unwanted shadow. Now, standing here, I felt the weight of uncertainty lifting, even if just slightly.Harreld was inside, his presence both comforting and electrifying. Ever since our unexpected connection, everything felt different. But there was something lurking beneath the surface—a tension I couldn’t quite place.“Marissa!” Harreld’s voice called from the living room, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to see him emerging, a playful smirk on his face, but his eyes held a seriousness that contradicted it.“Yeah?” I replied, trying to keep my tone light, even as my heart raced.“Come here. I need your opinion on something.” He gestured toward a large map spread across the coffee table, littered with notes and marked locations.Curiosit
Sure! Here’s a revised scene from Marisa’s point of view, reflecting that she has already divorced her husband.---The dim light flickered overhead as I set the small table in the hideout. My hands moved mechanically, placing two plates of hastily prepared pasta, steam curling into the silence. It felt surreal to be here, especially after the whirlwind that had led to my divorce. The air was thick with unspoken words, a tension that settled heavily in my chest.Harreld lounged against the wall, arms crossed, a smirk on his lips that hinted at mischief. “Is this your idea of a romantic dinner?” he teased, his tone playful yet charged.I shot him a glare, crossing my arms tightly. “Don’t flatter yourself. This is just sustenance.” The words were defensive, a shield against the pull he had on me.He chuckled, leaning forward slightly. “Sustenance for what? A new chapter in your life?” I felt my cheeks flush with a mix of embarrassment and something else—something more dangerous. “You t
