Claudia Woods' Point of ViewI knew that each word he said wasn't true although his eyes were very confusing. I stood straight and didn't let him come against me when I took a deep breath before crossing my arms. "You should change the name of your hotel. Perhaps, divert it to the name of your new chick?" I uttered before speaking. "Apparently, it doesn't sound good and I don't want anything that is related to you. No offense but… it seems like you don't really know what I like. Peonies? My ass." I was angry. I wanted to hurt him the way he did back to me that night that led me to misfortune. Seeing how his mouth turned into awe after I left him, it gave me the satisfaction I've been craving for and a little bit of thick and hardness I weigh comes out of my chest. As I was waiting for a taxi to pass and come by, it was when two new hotel staff began to walk with their things on. It seems like they're just going to cross the road toward the Cloudis Hotel. "You know what, the manage
Zamir Trian Cassano’s Point of ViewHer phone was dead and it has been like that for the whole day. I haven't received any bad information from Lorenzo and Gavin's team for more than 24 hours. I was certain that the phone she was using wasn't defective or anything and besides, if something happened to Claudia and the others, the Headquarters would notify me right away. "Miranda," I called my secretary whilst she was outside with his boyfriend Emman. "Did the landline inside my office make a sound whilst I was in a meeting earlier?" I inquired since she's the only one who's here. Miranda shook her head. "No, sir. Why?" I took a deep breath before shaking my head. It was when Emman craned his neck before smirking. "You seemed wary. Girl problems?" Emman already knew what it was. "Claudia's not answering her phone. I wonder if something happened. I'll get notified if it does immediately," I asserted stoically, glancing at the glass of alcohol I was holding whilst the two of them cam
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewI didn't go to work earlier for the morning session for some reasons. I was late when I got up from the bed and instead of going there late, Mrs. Castro would just scold me which I was trying to avoid. Instead, I told her I woke up not feeling well and will try coming to work later this afternoon. Fortunately, I was able to come. She asked how I was and if I could work and said yes. Well, I just said that because I was so mad. There's a bunch of customers inside and they are glad I came to work. Otherwise, the cafe would be short when it comes to their staff. Whilst I was working to the counter and checking if everything's alright, I could hear Renee, Jasmin, Chloe, and Sorin giggling as if we just had a guest that was good looking. I knew that these four are very excited each time there's an artist who's going to come and visit us, or someone who's handsome that is literally aligned to their taste. Our place was famous and has over a hundred thousand
Claudia Woods' Point of View Zamir always had his way on booking such hotels nearby especially when it was on the spot. The moment I got inside the hotel, I was left wondering whether I'd leave him off or just talk as what he wanted for us. Zamir have no enough clothes but knowing who he was, he immediately told someone to send him using the chopper he had as he went straight here with his wallet and phone and now, Miranda— his secretary is the one who's handling all the things including the transportation of his clothes he will be going to use. He was in the process of paying when suddenly, the television in the lobby caught my attention. Another interview has been made with Danica but this time, Zamir and I could watch it together. He saw how my expression changed and how I got stiff. Zamir held my hand, he's making sure that I won't escape and fix it together at the hotel he's going to stay in while he is here. My mind was in awe— completely blank as my heart felt heavy. I've
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewThe heavy rain was pouring so hard that you can't see anyone outside aside from the cars banging on the roads. I couldn't go home, especially when it was already night and late. Regardless, I stayed inside his hotel without talking or saying anything. My feelings for him never changed, but the trust I had was undeniably fading away. I was biting my lower lip whilst I was on the couch, glancing at my phone and trying to make myself happy by watching videos when I got a message from Fatima. Zamir was at the window and talking to his phone as I replied and said I was with Zamir, my boss. "She's with me. You don't need to worry," I heard Zamir asserted. "Claudia's alright. I'll drive her home later when the rain stops." I rolled my eyes over and hugged myself even more. The tears I had within me stopped and no matter how much I persuaded Zamir to tell me what his hidden work with Danica was, he just couldn't and would never tell anything to me. There was
Claudia Woods’ Point of View I felt sick the moment I woke up from a deep slumber. Seeing Zamir at the side and the heavy rain pouring behind us made me suddenly get up from the bed. I was shocked, and so was Zamir. I woke up when I felt someone was holding me and when I saw the thermometer he was using, I got up from bed and then realized how I ended up here. “Your body temperature cooled down. You have to eat this and I won’t tolerate further topics aside from your fever you got from running away yesterday.” He muttered stoically as he sat down beside me with soup on his hand. Zamir clenched his jaw. I blinked thrice and just glanced at him. I put my hands on my forehead before realizing I was indeed sick and caught a fever. “No…” I asserted when he was about to spoon feed me but I find it hot. He made a small sound, probably hissing and annoyed. “Stop provoking me right now, Claudia. I’m going to blow it so you can eat.” I ran away from yesterday until my knees were numb. Unf
Claudia Woods’ Point of View Fatima couldn’t utter a word now that he was ogling at Zamir whilst the four of us were in our living room. Her mind couldn’t process everything I told her just yet. It seems like she was shocked, and deliberately processed each information one by one. Anyhow, I skipped the information where Zamir was a mafia boss but instead, I told her he’s a billionaire and has tons of businesses. She was astonished and it seems like she's contemplating everything yet and we're ready to answer every question she has before we depart. Unfortunately, Zamir has to come back immediately and he wants to be with me, and in order to do that, she has to ask for Fatima's approval first because Fatima won't ever let me unless, otherwise, we provide her the necessary answers. "I thought he's just your boss like… damn!" Fatima asserted before crossing her arms. "I can now understand everything. If I'm not mistaken, is Lorenzo also working under you?" Zamir nodded his head. "He
Claudia Woods' Point of ViewI have shaved. As I gazed at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a sense of beauty. The countless kiss marks that adorned my body were slowly fading away, but their presence still lingered in my memory. Zamir has been missing lately, and it appears that he was upset once again. He was seen talking to someone in Italian, which is his first language. I wore my bikini underneath a thin shirt as I went out. Despite the cold air and fatigue from our earlier flight, I find myself still wanting to swim on this night. There were numerous guards present, but I decided to head to the poolside to relax and clear my mind. As soon as I removed my shirt, I swiftly dove into the pool. It has been quite some time since I last immersed my body in a pool of water, and I must say, I am thoroughly enjoying the experience. I felt overwhelmed with thoughts, so I decided to take a deep dive into my mind to clear it and create new memories that would lead to
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
