Claudia Woods' Point of ViewMy eyebrows arched. That was the first thing I did whilst looking at the information Lorenzo gave me. I was sitting across from him at the private plane Zamir owns while my man was talking to Saint at the other set of chairs just right behind us. Lorenzo gave me detailed information about Fatima from the moment I was taken away from her. To my surprise, it was neat and pretty fucking detailed which surprised me at most. It's not that I'm questioning it, but I was just curious as to why Lorenzo give a fuck doing this. "She has been regularly receiving a monthly penny for her to spend with regards to what she needs…" Lorenzo stated. "Three thousand dollars per month." My eyes widened. "But she knows I'm working right? She wouldn't believe me if you gave her huge money like that monthly!" Lorenzo sighed. "Don't worry, she doesn't know what your work is. Just make up some stories when you get back home." "Do you think that's easy?" I sneered. "She's not
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewI was hugging Zamir from behind. After countless arguments that I had from him today, I was able to convince otherwise, I might throw another tantrum. He was busy doing something on his laptop whilst standing, and all I did was to burden him as my hands were wrapped around his massive physique. We had a deal. Zamir wouldn't let me leave not unless he goes into his meeting. Well, it's still early so I didn't really mind. I wanted to see him for a few more hours so I chose to stay. Part of him doesn't want to let me go, but when I hoisted the phone Zamir gave me, I only told him we will talk to each other again everyday. As for Gavin and everyone in his team, they have gotten a hotel nearby our apartment."I love you, Mon Cheri." Zamir muttered before kissing the side of my forehead. We're outside his office in Illinois. There are two cars ready in front and two more behind. Well, prolly vehicles for guards. He leaned closer a little before hugging me.
Claudia Woods' Point of View I was mad. Zamir promised me he's looking after my cousin but how the hell did she get all those bruises knowing Lorenzo was the one who's in charge of her? I was beyond disappointed as to what my boyfriend promised me. Honestly, I still prefer the hundred percent safety precautions my boyfriend will give her instead of the money she was getting from him. Money might be hard to earn but you are only given one chance to live so you better treasure your life no matter what it takes. Fatima was sleeping in my bed. She doesn't want to sleep inside her room knowing she's scared so I let her be with me tonight. Besides, it has been a long time since we've seen each other and I couldn't risk it if she'll get in danger again. Gavin's team has their eyes on us 24/7 but that doesn't mean I'll be at ease. Sighing deeply, I took my phone into the loudspeaker whilst I was in the living room, peeking at the window. From where I was standing, I could see the distance
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewThe next morning, Fatima bombarded me a lot of questions regarding things she wanted to do, especially when it comes to my work. I prepared this scene and have provided her the answer she was seeking for. "Really? Now I don't wonder any longer that the pay was good!" Fatima said, grinning as if she won't a lottery. She's currently at the table and eating the food that I cooked for her whilst I was preparing for my own. She said she wanted bacon, eggs and even veggies she frequently eats in the morning so I prepared it for her. We're close, and being the eldest, I was the one who's doing everything like her mom. She may be an adult already and can prepare for her meals but I treat her as my sister and doing these things were just enough and it won't cover the past few months I've been away from her. Fatima was getting ready for school but there she is, asking me a lot of questions I tend to avoid but I couldn't. "Hmm, you said you're the assistant of y
Zamir Trian Cassano's Point of ViewLonging for someone wasn’t easy. I kept thinking about her 24/7 and I couldn’t erase her from my mind. It was hard to let Claudia go knowing she’s only the person I have and thinking someone might take her away from me again stings like hell. I lost my parents when I was just still a child and I took over at our business at a young age. Letting Claudia away from me was the decision I kept wanting to retract but how can I do that when she’s happy enough to be back? One thing I’ve learned throughout my relationship toward her is not to be selfish. She has her own life as well, her loved ones are still alive. Even if we’re still in a relationship, I am trying not to be selfish for her own sake. For her own happiness not to mention I don’t want to use my power over her. I want her to love me because I’m Zamir, I want her to want me because I am who I am not because I am some sort of mafia shit. “Oh,” Lorenzo asserted when he saw me glanced at the doo
Claudia Woods' Point of View Zamir is here…Zamir. Is. Fucking. Here. I blinked thrice to see if I was dreaming but I wasn't. He smirked and chuckled lightly when I sat on the bed. I didn't expect that he would be here. I was completely astounded about his appearance. I was just waiting for his call and messages earlier but here I am, waking up just beside him early in the morning! "Aren't you happy I'm here?" Zamir mumbled whilst pulling me into a cuddle. For some reason, I nearly wanted to cry when I bombarded him with a bunch of kisses, disregarding if I just had a bad mouth since I just woke up. Nevertheless, it wasn't easy being away from him knowing our love language is physical touch. Whilst we were kissing, it was when my eyes widened. How could it fucking slipped off my mind? "What?" His eyebrows arched. "Did you break some windows? Or our door? How did you get in?" Zamir chuckled a little. It was when he sulked himself to the pillow, sniffing it whilst looking at me.
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewZamir was slowly putting all the buttons on his long sleeves. Well, we had an early quickie because of him. He's such a tease and a huge baby when it comes to me! I wonder if he also became like this to all of his friends. He nearly doesn't want to take his clothes on because he wants another round but I never give in again. Who knows? Lorenzo might come home after taking my cousin to school. Besides, some of his guards might also barged in without my approval. Nevertheless, my smile grew bigger when Zamir came my way, aiming for a straight kiss on my lips before drenching his lower balm. However, my attention drifted to my phone when a notification suddenly came. [Warren: Hey, Claudia. It's me, Warren. How are you? I was told you were back in Illinois again. I'm quite sad knowing we didn't see each other after what happened at the gasoline station. I'll miss you, Claudia. I'm going to wait for you here. :)] Seeing Warren's abrupt message on one of th
Claudia Woods’ Point of ViewZamir left that night. He doesn’t want to go at first but his duty calls. Even though I wanted him to stay longer, he couldn’t. He has to put his priority first instead of me. Well, I understand he has work but Zamir never neglected me even though I’m hours away. My man remained consistent. “Claudia,” Fatima called me. “I applied to work in a cafe last month.”My eyebrows arched. “Why? You’re receiving enough funds from me.” I asserted whilst making my own coffee. Fatima shrugged. “I don’t know. I don’t want to rely on you much. Aren’t you happy? I’m being independent…” She has a point though. I was silent, and didn't contradict what she had said. Nevertheless, I thought that she would bring up another topic again but her work at a cafe remained the same. “Hmm… we have an event in our university and they needed me, but my boss refused to take me on leave because there is no one to cover my shift. Each employee has their assigned task and the two of the
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
