Claire

I stared at the blank screen of my phone, battling in my mind on what to do. Since the news about Giancarlo and I started flying around, I hadn't logged into my social media accounts.

The hoarde of paparazzi I had to push through last night gave me PTSD and made me dread the amount of people I'll have on my social media. At least I didn't need to go to work since Giancarlo owns the company I work for. I wouldn't be able to deal with coming up with a lie or going regardless, supposing I wasn't working for his firm.

“Oh God! How could I be so stupid to propose to a complete stranger on impulse?” I whined to myself as my hand slumped on the bed, my head collapsing into the pillow.

“At least let me take my phone off flight mode.”

I turned on the screen of my phone and tapped on it, putting off the flight mode. I feared my phone would somehow be hoarded with calls so I placed it on flight mode the moment we came back from the restaurant.

It wasn't up to a minute when my phone

    Giancarlo “You still haven't answered my question.” Enzo's voice series into my ears, bringing me back to the warm glow of my office. “What question?” I asked, clearing my throat to get a hold of myself. There was no way I was thinking that. “What do you intend to do about your sudden engagement? It's not just you, Claire and the public in play. Your grandfather is also now in play, and he takes the top of the chart.” He's right, and I didn't know what to do. I had taken a line out of Claire's playbook and impulsively told my grandfather we were going to get married.“I'll think of something. Bring up some kind of drama to call off the engagement, something my grandfather would believe.” His gaze slipped away for a few seconds as though he was in deep thoughts before he nodded his head in agreement. “I hope you're going to be fast on that.” Lifting my weight off the sofa, I made my way back to my desk. As much as I had a crisis on my hands, I had work to do. “For now, I need t

    ClaireI stared at the screen of my phone as it continued to vibrate violently in my hand, the sound of the ringtone reverberating through the walls of the house. “Oh God! What do I do?” I panicked, biting harder on my bottom lips. I thought of what to tell them, come up with a lie or something, but I came up blank.“Give me let me talk to them.” Giancarlo suggested, stretching his hand forward to take my phone, but I took a step back.“No, you can't.” The phone stopped ringing and I knew we all had the same thing on our minds. They were eventually going to call again. And just on cue, the phone started ringing again. “Well, you have to pick that.” Enzo said in a calm voice. I nodded my head and let out a breath before swiping my finger across the screen. “Hey mum.” I squeaked, trying to keep my nerves from wrecking my voice. “Where the hell did you keep your phone? We've been ringing the doorbell for minutes and you're not opening up. We're all tired from the long flight, you k

    “You can't be serious about that.” I stared at my parents, my chest tightening with disbelief. My father sat, staring at me with a daring gaze, challenging me to say otherwise. My mother was just being my mother as usual and the snide look on her face made me more angrier.As promised, when they woke up this morning, Giancarlo was the first name they uttered and now they want a family dinner to get to know “my fiancé’s” family.“First of all, you don't tell me you are flying down here and now I'm supposed to arrange a dinner with Giancarlo and his grandfather for tomorrow night? Be real, mum.” “Having dinner with them doesn't sound bad. We never knew you guys were together, that's just the perfect medium to get to know them.” Eliza said, her voice as calm and cool as ever. “Really? You too? What– don't I have a say in this?”“You don’t have a say in this, Clarissa. We're going to have dinner with this family and get to meet them,” my father said, his tone cold and final.God how co

    Giancarlo“It's so nice to finally have you around, Mr Caruso.”Claire's mother's voice came out in a rather pleasant home, a wide smile plastered to her face. Like Claire, she had auborn hair and a very pretty face. Her face makes her look you get than her age.“Please, call me Giancarlo.” I returned the friendliness, a bit uncomfortable with the formal name.“Well then, Giancarlo.”Like planned, we were having a family dinner in Claire's apartment. My grandad willingly agreed to it with no hassle, he had even volunteered to bring Enzo and I here.My eyes darts towards Claire's sister, Elizabeth, like they had introduced her. She was the very quiet type with sleek brunette hair and green eyes, brighter than Claire's. I had a feeling this was not the first time I was seeing her.“You have beautiful daughters, might I say.” My grandfather spoke, s

    ClaireA lot of things have happened tonight, but Eliza speaking to Giancarlo in that tone was not one I expected. The whole table turned towards her, completely shocked by her outbursts.“Excuse me?” Giancarlo was just as shocked as everybody, too shocked to think of proper words to say.“You heard me, you are not going anywhere with my sister.”“Eliza…” I tried to talk to her, but my father beat me to it.“Elizabeth, what's wrong? Why would you say something like that to your sister's fiancé?”Yeah right, fiancé indeed…“Dad, it just doesn't make sense to me. Don't you smell anything fishy? Even Claire and his best friend here didn't know the trip was happening?”Her voice was calm and collected, a complete contrast to what mine would've been was I in her shoes.L“The trip is alr

    “May I join you ladies.”Penelope and I darted our gaze towards the owner of the voice and a smile crept up my face.“Enzo! Fancy seeing you here. Of course you can join us.”“Hi.” He threw a light greeting towards Penelope, but she was too stuck staring at him to breathe a response. I almost laughed at her behaviour, but I didn't want to give her away.“Looking beautiful as always, Claire.”“Oh please, don't flatter me.”I blushed slightly, laughing gently to cover up the blush.“I don't flatter, I state facts. I'm sure your friend would agree with me.”He turned his gaze to Penny and she blurted out the first words that came to her mouth.“Oh yes, yes, horses can fly. I totally agree with you?”“Penny!” I called in an embarrassing tone, and she snapped out

    I couldn't exactly tell how long it was. A few days? Weeks? All I knew was that it wasn't up to months since I started living with Giancarlo.Since the last fight with them, my parents haven't even tried to put effort into our relationship, which kind of just gave me a solid ground on the fact that I might not be their daughter.I resumed work as usual and though a few times Giancarlo tried to make me quit, but I was solid on my ground. Though we acted like a sweet couple in public or in front of his grandfather.“Ughh….. that bright colour again. Your tastes for weird colours make you look childish.”I turned at the sound of Giancarlo's voice, almost dropping the plate in my head. Rolling my eyes, I set my eyes back to the table. Lately, he's been getting on the tips of my nerves. If it wasn't my choice of colours, it was my choice of clothing, or the way I do things.“It's not my faul

    GiancarloThe colour riot silk scarf she had around her neck with the bright green blazers she had on was the first thing that caught my attention.“Ohhh what a beautiful scarf you have on. I didn't see you this morning, would've given you my compliments.” I said, the side of my lips tugging up in a smile. She glared at me but rolled her eyes without giving me a response.“Now's not the time to be sarcastic.” Enzo chided, a little bit too serious.“What's all this about, Enzo? Is the world coming to an end?”“Close to it.”“What's wrong? What's going on? Is it something about me?” Claire asked. You could see the nerves swimming in her eyes.“You might want to sit down to hear it.”We all sat down on the sofa. Enzo and Claire in one while I sat on the one opposite of theirs.“I think your g

    Giancarlo.This can't be true! I kept reiterating in my head, shaking it heavily as the figures danced before my eyes. My ribs thomped with pains and my ears rang with Sophia's accusing voice. I couldn't believe it.Everything seemed so wrong, my eyes glued on the transaction history, reading the billions of dollars that had been moving out from the company's account into her account daily and my throat dried.Claire would never do that! I assured myself as I started unblinkedly at the figures, confusion and disbelief simmering like a pot of porridge in my heated brain and my teeth chattering uncomfortably.Lorenzo stood quietly by my side, not even moving his body. His silence was too foreboding that I suddenly wished he would say something, explain what was going on. Explain why the transaction history was telling me that the giant billions had been semt from the company and how I could prove Claire's innocence. Frustration sat like a heavyweight champion in my head, pushing my bra

    Claire."Liar!!" I blurted immediately, standing up to face Sophia with fire burning in my eyes and hot air swimming out of my nostrils.Fury ignited quickly inside me like a firecracker ready to blow up all over my face and I so much wished it could blow up at once and engulf everyone so that I could rest.My vision clouded with the injustice of the moment and my heart entwined with the spider web of rage that tangled my heart without breathing space, making me hunger for room and the opportunity to let the emotions crash out into the real world.Who gave her the right to stand before everyone and spew lies? I just couldn't understand how humans could be so evil! My hand swung dangerous by my side wishing they could collide with something and destroy them into shreds just like I wished I could claw my nails into Sophia's make-upped plastic beauty and reduce it into drips of flesh and blood.I took in air in sharp intervals, chest heaving with the cooking anger grating in my heart, a

    Giancarlo Playmate? I was bewildered. Surely, something must be wrong somewhere. How could she—playmate? Like did she think my love for Claire was some child's play? I felt a fire ignite inside me, my jaw clenching hard and my teeth biting into my cheeks. Where the heck did Claire dig such a mother from? I raised myself from my lying position to let my anger sink into the depth of my stomach. My hands had trouble holding me up as they were vibrating with fury.Her words still came biting into my ear in repetition, sending charcoals of anger smothering my breath and making me ache to smash something on the wall.Was she for real? Come to invite me? I shook my head in disbelief. I must really have heard it all. She wasn't even forcing Claire to marry Theodore, she was rubbing it on my face.My nose flared pumping out more heated air than it took in."Mom, are you insane?" I could feel the heat from Claire's anger too. She probably wouldn't go ahead with the ridiculous engagement. “How

    ClaireI tried not to think much about the sex and how enjoyable it had been. Thinking about the enjoyment part, I realized how selfish I must have been to leave him to do all the work while I enjoyed.Luckily for me, it was nothing serious. He had just collapsed after too much exertion of energy and not because his heart had failed him. I cursed under my breath, my chest heaving with relief as the doctor left the room. What would I have done if it was something serious? My heart twisted with the thought of the unknown. One slip, and he could have died. I cringed and pushed the thought away trying to focus on the present. What had I even been thinking when riling him up the more, screaming "faster" and moaning like a slut? I took my hands to my head and shook it in embarrassment and disgust, my heart biting with hatred for myself.Though I would agree, the sex was pretty good, better than all I had ever had. His dick had transported me to heaven, and done something extraordinary;

    Giancarlo My hands hungrily grabbed her standing breast while my dick pressed somewhere between her fat, firm ass and her back. The gel she had on her body made pleasure surge through my dick with the contact and I took in two sharp breaths."Babe," she gasped breathlessly as my hands trailed down to her pussy again, finding a way to touch on her clitoris. I flicked it gently with my hands and curved my fingers upwards to continue the pleasure hunt.I fucked with my fingers for a brief moment before caressing and rubbing my hands at the entrance, while feeling a bit satisfied with the tickling sensation on my dick.My other hands grabbed her breast and squeezed them hard like an orange."Let's try doggy style," she moaned sluttily and I must say I was surprised. But the surprise quickly switched into another stirring of sensual pleasure. My dick was now awake with antennas receiving signals here and there.My dick was closer to her anus and throbbing hard to enter. So I rushed back i

    ClaireMy breath slowed into a normal pace as a pillar of love for Carlo took a stance in my chest, filling me with all the warmth I had missed out for the past two weeks.His dick had been so sweet, too sweet that I had felt a building pleasure almost immediately he inserted it deep into me. His nine inches worked wonders in me that I felt like I was floating in air.Had my womb shifted? I wondered as I lay under him, matching his breathing pace and enjoying the sweet smell of his cologne or was it parfum? I had no idea and didn't even bother.He had pounded me harder than ever and i had taken almost a dozen trips to heaven and back, feeling like a drug addict.How could one be so good? I wondered. How could he be so all round perfect? I suddenly felt like marrying him, having him all to myself and even fucking outside in front of everyone.I cringed at the ridiculous thought. How could I ever want that? But still, I could allow anything happen as long as it was Carlo's slightly curv

    Giancarlo.My heart throbbed as her body clashed into mine, sending shivers round my entire bodyMy chest pressed hard on her breast, my heart beat aggravating Her breast was so soft that I felt like pulling both of them into my mouth at once.The suppressed passion swam up, filling all my senses with her presence. The connection between us was palpable, igniting every nerve and vein in me to crave for more.My breath hitched as her hands found their way to my rock hard kicking dick, caressing and jerking it up and down.A crash of pleasure filled my brain with the activity, making me itch closer to her.Leaving one hand on her breast, I took the other to her cunt, shifting her panties to the left to gain more access. She was already wet.Fuck, I muttered under my breath, feeling heat pour down my body.The gown was getting on the way. Breathless and raging mad, I hastily unzipped her gown and sent it to the floor, leaving her in her bra and panties.Her silky body glowed beneath my

    Claire.It's surprising how I had not died when I had impulsively pulled my life away from my nostrils. It still felt like a miracle to me.I had felt dizzy no doubt, collapsed and all of that, but I didn't die neither did Carlo.It was two weeks yet it felt like it had just been yesterday that Carlo had been on the brink of death, receiving a high amount of electricity through his chest, body lifting and thudding within seconds of the shock.It seemed like yesterday that his white face had made me cringe with its striking resemblance to a corpse, that the nurses had crowded him, looking like they'd suffocate him to death if he didn't die naturally.Then, I had been afraid, trying hard not to believe the thought that he was dying, that he was leaving me behind. All I could think of, was his name and so I screamed all the frustration, anger and love and betrayal into the name, begging him to return that I had forgiven him.Had I truly forgiven him? I wondered but couldn't come up with

    Claire As swift as a cheetah, I jumped out of the bed, oxygen barely seeping into my lungs and my life flashing before my very eyes.Determination and love for Carlo was all I got. I trusted its motivation more than anything."Claire, what—" the familiar voice didn't make me turn nor stop my stride, rather, it created more tactics for escape in my head.She tried to hold me, but I dodged, surging forward with determination beating hard on my chest.I successfully made it pass both of them, and I increased my pace, breathing laboriously and colliding with a high wall of tiredness in my system.“I can't stop now. I must see Carlo," the thought flew in immediately my head began to respond to the oxygen reduction in my body.I clenched my fist as I tried to maintain the sorry imitation of a run, eyes blinking fast to quickly switch my faltering vision from darkness into light.Aside from the spinning in my head, I didn't even feel the need to stop to catch my breath. Maybe because I had
