Claudia Woods’ Point of View There was a hard stone stuck in my mouth. I knew it, something happened between them in the past that’s why Zamir didn’t get angry when Danica kissed him on the cheeks. The fact that Zamir allows Danica to touch him adds fuel to the fire. He said they were just friends… and now that I found out a deeper meaning between them, I felt like they still have feelings toward each other especially when I observed Danica’s interaction with him. I bit my lower lip and then moved. Right now, I am going to ask a lot more with regards to his boss. Among all the people here in the mansion, Lorenzo is the only one I could ask in terms of his love lifes and past experiences. “How many years since they last saw each other?”Lorenzo shrugged his shoulders. “Hmm… maybe three years ago? Two? Or recently? I think my boss went to an event back then and saw Danica there. Who knows? Maybe the sparks between them came back?”Asking Lorenzo further details regarding my questions
Claudia Woods’ Point of View The orphanage we went to was just an hour drive away from the mansion. From here, I could hear Gavin answering a phone call as his gazes went to mine. I was just wearing my usual clothes, I did not bother to find something else rather than the dress I first saw in my closet. There are tons of children outside, they are all smiling the very first time I saw them. “Lisa! Lisa! You’re back,” one of them stated. Lisa went to the kids and due to my astonishments, they all hugged her. A gentle touch of warmth fell through my heart seeing and watching everyone at her. They were all cute, and entertaining when one male child saw me and dragged me with them. As I was assisting Lisa to give the following toys they had with them, I was quite astonished seeing there are plenty more at the covered court of the orphanage whilst a few adults who are wearing the same shirt are also helping. I was just following Lisa when their leader had a huge smile on her lips. “Th
Claudia Woods’ Point of View There was a faint smile onto my lips the moment I was looking at the box of cake I was holding. It’s nearly eight in the evening, and here I am, just gotten the cake I wanted to eat and give to him. I am not the one who’s at fault between us but I was the one who have gotten a food for him as a peace offering. Honestly, I am kind of at fault here as well. I did not tell him I will join Lisa to volunteer and instead of telling it to him first, I made my own decision even if Gavin, my bodyguard did not let me. I was breathing heavily, thinking of the questions I wanted to ask him. For the past few months we are both together, Zamir showered me with the attention, care and love I did not ask for him. He made me drown in his depth, and at the very moment I was at the bottom, I could no longer wiggle my legs and was unable to get out. Arriving at the mansion, there are several guards around the area. My eyes seek for Zamir’s presence, thinking that he will
Claudia Woods’ Point of View Warren was serious the moment we have gotten inside the car. As soon as the engine started, he couldn't stop looking at me as if asking me a question would sting. Warren remained quiet until we had successfully come out the gate and Warren being himself, he spoke. “I’m going to repeat my question, Claudia. Are you okay?”I sniffed. “Don’t mind me. Continue driving, the mansion is suffocating.” “Just tell me if you want to run away or leave them then I’ll do my best to help you,” Warren said. “I knew that man would bring no good for you. I have ways and believe me, he won’t find you if-”I derailed him off by chuckling sarcastically. “That won’t happen. No matter how much I hide, Zamir will find the shit out of me. We are tied together… and I don’t think he would just let me escape knowing who he is and what kind of person Zamir was.” Warren’s jaw clenched. “But I can help you. All you have to do is to trust me.”Trust. I’ve trusted them but they just br
Zamir Trian Cassano’s Point of View She nearly wanted to cry when she saw us together. I froze when I saw her standing at my door, holding a box of cake. Due to my surprised expression, I didn’t react quickly until Claudia closed the door and ran away from me. My gazes went to Danica. She was also in my room, and the towel was wrapped around her body. She was standing just beside our bed whilst she was holding her undies. The bed was in a mess, even the pillow was on the floor. "Why the fuck are you bere?" I muttered, bursting with all my anger as I put my clothes on one by one. Danica raised her eyebrows at me. "Technically, I was about to bathe here since the faucet and shower at the guest room isn't well. And then it worked, and I left my things here unintentionally. I came back to get it.""Do you think I'd fall for your reasoning? State the fuck why you are here!" I repeated, almost gripping her in her neck. She groaned and whimpered. She has been annoying me for days and Go
Claudia Wood’s Point of View The only indication I really had been facing something through was my swollen eyes. I couldn’t get enough of sleep, and seeing Amelia and Saint talking with each other outside the bedroom made me bite my lower lip. The door was slightly opened. I could see them talking and hear every inch of their voices.“You should’ve called me when she went here, Amelia. My boss would kill me!” I heard him soat outside. There was roughness in his voice but I saw how Amelia held his hand. I couldn’t hear her voice, but I could hear Saint’s. “My boss has been looking for her all night and he commanded us all to look for her. Sweetheart it’s my job-”I heard Amelia groaning. “C’mon. Claudia told me how hurt she was, she needs time. Don’t tell her boyfriend about Claudia yet. Please?” Ameli inquired, holding Saint's arms which made Saint glanced at it. I bit my lower lip, I stood up and then slowly opened the door, biting my lower lip. It was when Saint’s serious eyes
Claudia Woods’ Point of View It was evening. My third day staying here. Amelia let me borrow her clothes and we share the same size. Amelia is just a little small for me. She’s tall and has a slender body than me but I am skinny too. Not just as skinnier as her though. She's kind, and by the short time I was with her, I wanted to come back here and bond with her more. Perhaps if I introduce her to Lisa, she would like her as well the way Lisa treats me as her own daughter. Well, Lisa is taking care of me. There are times she calls me Miss but I told her I'd rather be called by name. It's just, Lisa would never listen. “Miss Claudia,” Saint got my attention. “I think you really should go back to the mansion right now. It has been three days since you’re staying here and Zamir’s making me anxious. I just made contact with Lorenzo right now and he told me a very important detail…”My forehead creased. “Don’t tell me he’s marrying Danica already?”Saint’s jaw clenched. “My boss attacke
Claudia Woods’ Point of View William Anderson, Franco’s secretary, was standing before me. I was astounded seeing him aiming right straight in my head, and seeing his shocked face made me worry a lot. This is the first time we see each other again right after Franco and I split. It bothers me a lot, thinking how William could be part of Rivard Escallions. His shocked eyes were similar to mine. We are both astounded. He gritted his teeth, and his aim in my head loosened. “Boss, what’s wrong?” the man earlier uttered with worry. We were attentive when five SUVs began to arrive along with a paramedic. Seeing Zamir walking out along with the visitors in his mansion last time and Lorenzo behind made me at ease. I thought that they would kill us, and Zamir would let me die in their hands, but no. He came. His eyes drifted at Zamir and his men. It was when William glanced behind. “It would be better to kill this lady right in front of their head, boss. Right?” Zamir’s jaw clenched. He
Third Person's Point of View"Ma'am Claudia," Rana, their baby's nanny suddenly asserted. Claudia was inside her walk-in closet, she was done changing her clothes after a maid spilled wine on her clothes that's why she immediately changed. Rana came inside the walk in closet with a smile on her face. "Everyone is waiting for you, even baby Claudine. You should go!" Rana asserted with a huge smile. Feeling nervous, Claudia immediately stood up from her seat and spoke. "Really? Zamir might be looking for me already." The nanny's eyes went to the box where Claudia's jewelry is there including the limited edition jewelry set Zamir gave her after she gave birth. Due to panic, Claudia went out without locking the door and leaving Rana inside without thinking about the possibilities that might happen. Everyone was at the Cassano residence where the christening and the first birthday of their baby occurred. Zamir Trian Cassano has a wide net connection and every person who was invited cam
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewMonths had passed… I woke up with Zamir by my side. He was doing his work inside his bedroom while I was on the bed. As I've said, Zamir is also a businessman and instead of going to his company, he took all the work at home to be with me. He has his personal assistant or secretary doing meetings for him which made Zamir tied up to his house for weeks now. Currently, he's working beside me while we're on the bed when Fenrir called him seconds earlier, asking if he wants to go out. "I'll think about it. I don't think Claudia will—" A small groan came out from my lips when I heard him say that and Zamir only gave Fenrir a curse on his face. "Heard that? My woman doesn't want me to leave." Months after months of being pregnant, I noticed that I was getting more and more clingy. The first trimester was so damn hard for both of us yet after that, I want Zamir around me and doesn't want him to leave my side. At first, I was hesitant thinking I am already st
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewSaint and Lorenzo stayed with us for over an hour. They became my friends for months. I stayed with them and also, we became closer because of the headache I caused to Lorenzo when I was still new here. Anyhow, I'm still a little against his relationship with Fatima. "Do you see that katana, Lorenzo? I'll smack you with that if you tried pulling such a stunt toward fFatima." Lorenzo spoke. "I don't think so. Boss got it in auction for $1.2 million. I don't think he will let you use that. It's an ancient katana, you know." Lorenzo affirmed before smiling so damn wide to me. I chuckled. "Really? It seems like you haven't seen the other side of your boss." "Tell us how he is as your boyfriend. He's too strict, serious and untouchable whenever he's with us." Upon going back on how Zamir treats me, he opened his soft side on me. He gave me too much affection and became vulnerable whenever he's around and I don't want them to know about his other side. I wi
Claudia's Point of View That's exactly what happened the night after. I was spreading my legs wider already on him whilst he was in between my thighs, rocking my world as I begged him to stop after one round. Zamir couldn't stop himself anymore and did it with me but of course, with applying the advice of the doctor. "Zamir… I'm tired." I moaned whilst he was holding my hand. "Aaahhh… mhmmm baby. Oh God…" He smirked. He leaned his body closer to me before kissing my cheeks down to my neck until his lips went to my mound. He sucked my nipples like a baby, rocking my pussy whilst I moaned so loud inside his room. "Zamir…" I called his name. "Fuck." Zamir hummed. "Yes, my love? Do you like it?" I fucking love it.He's pounding me for less than an hour already and Zamir doesn't even want to take a break. His pace aren't slow nor fast either but I'm still tired. I thought he's done already but when he told me to bend over and face the rack, I followed him immediately and spread my l
Claudia Woods’ Point of View "Is that… all?" I muttered solemnly whilst I was sitting above the high stool chair while he was across me, hugging me from behind while caressing my tummy. "You are forced to marry Danica Collins because of your organization right? To know who's the real mastermind or game master of the Russians?" Zamir bobbed his head gently. "Yes, my love." "And… and you didn't tell me because you don't want me to worry and you do that want me to think that you don't love me anymore." He sighed. "I can't just tell you about that anyway. I love you. I don't want you to slip away from me." Even if Zamir already told me the truth, I am still worried. Maybe because things that happened aren't as light as what I think. It still gives me trauma, and the fact that I developed trust issues is also making the way I perceive him have some inner conflicts. Zamir lifted my chin, urged me to glance at him whilst holding those tears who wanted to flow down. He was gentle when h
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewZamir was holding my back, caressing it while he was humming, consoling me from what happened. Just like before, his hugs are enough for me to stop wailing yet my chest still feels heavy. I waited for Zamir to come here. I waited for him to come and see me after a while because of all the people I could call with, he's the only person that registered into my mind. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He muttered softly whilst wiping the tears streaming down my face. Some might think I look like a baby who's crying like an idiot to his dad but I'm not. For some reason, I wasn't able to speak. I was still frightened about what happened.He was caressing my face with his callous palms as anxiety remained surging inside my inner demons. I couldn't help not crying and longed for him. It's funny how I told myself not to come to him anymore but to think he's the only person that could soothe me despite who he was. There are enough reasons for us to be together
Claudia Woods' Point of View I was getting better day by day. I used to get angry whenever I saw Zamir around me but I got used to it. I still haven't talked to him for awhile now but he shows up whenever I need some help. It's not Lorenzo nor Saint nor Gavin but him. My initial plan today is to go to the mall and shop some clothes for me but Fatima wasn't there to accompany me. She's busy with her work and school and at the same time, she's having fun with Lorenzo. Why would I bother disturbing them anyway? I was against their relationship at first but I could see Fatima happy with him. I don't wanna erase those smiles Lorenzo gave to my cousin. "Whoa. That looks good…" I muttered when I saw a stall that serves raw food but to think that I was pregnant and food like these for pregnant ladies are restricted. While I was strolling around the mall, I could feel that someone was following me. But whenever I glanced around, there was no face showing up. At first, I thought it was Pane
Zamir Trian Cassano's Point of View"How is she?" It was the first thing that came off my lips when I saw her cousin Fatima with Lorenzo. She's currently with him and we're inside his apartment. I have nowhere to go until I remember going here to drink with him yet his girl was there. It seems like I got slapped by them due to the relationship they had both with each other. As soon as I lifted my hands and drank all the liquor inside my shot glass, Fatima spoke. "She's doing well. How about you? We should be the one who's asking you that." Technically, without Claudia everything is fucked up. Miserable. I wanted her by my side but she pushed me away. I became alcoholic again because of her yet I can't do anything about her. The doctor told me about her current situation and condition. She said the baby is weak and stressing her even more will make the baby leave us inside her womb and God knows how much I want to keep them both alive. It's fucking hard. I want to explain myself
Claudia Woods' Point of View"Goodness, Claudia!” My cousin Fatima asserted. Both of us are now inside our apartment. I went back here right after I woke up and the day after, I discharged myself and paid all my hospital fees. It took me a lot of money but I didn't mind. Instead, I like the idea of paying for it rather than someone else doing it for me. My taste got bitter. I wasn't expecting Zamir to show up while I was in the hospital. It shows that he no longer cares about me and nothing matters to him other than his organization. "Why do you suddenly want to move out?" Fatima muttered which made me a little uneasy. She doesn't know about it yet but she isn't asking questions. "Why can't we? I have enough money." As soon as I said that, it was when Fatima rolled her eyes at me. Both of us were sitting in our living room, feeling hungry. I was scrolling through my phone as I was craving for Korean food and buffalo wings. It's been awhile since the last time I ate that. Fatima
