Clarisse's palms felt sweaty as she sat next to Christian in the car; her heartbeat kept racing at the thought of how the organization would be, the people she was going to meet, who her boss was going to be, and how the whole experience would be for her. She felt like it'd have been better to start as an intern but Christian was firm about the decision and was adamant that he can't allow his wife to be bossed around. He could see her nervousness written all over her face, he gently reached out to her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. She looked at him as he did that and he smiled gently at her," There's nothing to be nervous about, you're going to be fine", his assuring voice soothed her mind a little, " don't forget your purpose, this is the perfect opportunity for you to be strong as you wanted, and the time to chase after your dream ",Gael, on the other hand, drove to Christian's office as he was instructed, while Christian took Clarisse to the fashion designing organization.
" Stella? Again?" Karine exclaimed in anger as she looked at her bruised face; even the makeup could not hide the swollen cheeks and the bruised lips.Stella tried to conceal her pain and suffering with a fake smile, " I'm good, I fell on the file", she said leaning towards Karine's desk," C'mon, you know that lie isn't for me; we both know the reason behind this; for how long, Stella? How long will you keep up with this?"," He's going to change Karine, he promised me"," He promised you? After this or before this?" she asked in disdain, pointing at the bruises on her face." Lower your voice," Stella pulled her hand as she could see some employees gathering and looking at her from the corner of her eyes." Sorry", Karine apologized, realizing she was raising her voice, which was out of anger." It's okay, I couldn't..." her speech was interrupted as Karine quickly pinched her; everywhere became quiet suddenly, and the people were back to their work in a flash. Stella immediately kn
Sitting on an isolated rock on a mountain is a little boy, staring into space with a heavy heart full of unspoken pain and desire. His mind is clouded with wishes and hopes of escaping, even if it seems like an impossible dream. He seems lonely as he sits, with his teary eyes, bruised lips, and cheeks; he heaves a sigh, exhaling air from his heavy chest.Just then he heard a continuous grunt that came from the side and turned his head to see a replica of him struggling as he climbed the mountain and walked to where he was sitting." Why do you always have to sit in a place that's so difficult to climb?" he complained as he walked to him and sat down beside him, panting.The two boys were carbon copies of each other, wearing the same clothes, same footwear, same hair, the same face, and above all, they had the same voice. They both have bruises on their face and arms, the only difference between them is their personality." How are you?", he asked looking at him," Do I look okay?", th
Alice smirked, her stomach bubbling in excitement and anticipation as she hung up the call before turning back to her mother." Everything set?"," Yes, Mum, I can't wait", she cooed. Patricia grinned rubbing her hands together," I can't wait to take out my revenge on her"," Can't believe that nitwit, she dares tried to take what belongs to my daughter; who does she think she is?" Patricia said and scoffed, "She went into a fashion design company? She's so ridiculous, trying to take advantage of my daughter's husband"," Don't hate her choice too much mum, that is what provides us this opportunity, if she hasn't decided to start working this might not be so easy"," You're right," Patricia agreed and giggled, " thank you, Clarisse, for providing us this opportunity," she said, and they both laughed.Slowly, the happy expression on Alice's face wears off making Patricia feel concerned," Is everything okay? Why did your expression suddenly change "," If we succeed mum..."," When we
Kyle was humming his favorite song when, as he entered the Mortana's building, he headed over to the reception with his secretary, who proceeded to confirm their appointment when he saw her. The only woman that had been on his mind ever since the first time he set eyes on her, his only reason for coming to the company, she was right there, standing in the lobby and listening to a man; he couldn't help but stare at her. Her innocence frail face, her gentle little smile that could melt a soul, he was lost in her charm." Sir, we can go in..."," A minute", he said in a hurry and ran outside, he didn't want to miss his chance and when he saw her leaving the building, he immediately went after her He looked outside, trying to get where she went, but his instinct went for the left, which he took. He suddenly halted in his tracks when he saw her looking afraid, with some men in black obstructing her way. One of them made to move closer to her but Kyle immediately jumped in and wrapped his
The longer Christian stares at his phone at the details sent to him, the more his blood boils. His jaw was clenched, and his fist was tightened, but he maintained a col,d, blank face still. They finally pulled up at the Get-it-all gambling house.This was Cyrus first time of driving his boss to a gambling house and it was surprising for him. Just as they pulled over, their car was in between the vehicles that had been following them. Some men immediately jumped out of the car, all dressed in black suits and trousers with dark shades; one of them quickly came over to open the car for Christian, who charismatically stepped out of the car. The guards in front of the building were confused, a lot of people had come into the house but this was the first time they had seen someone with so much influence and a cold aura, the way he stepped out, dressed in his suit that is covered with a long grey coat, his hot and sexy features could not be ignored. A lot could be told with just a glance at
(13 years ago)Antonio struggled to carry the big basket of carrots, grunting as he carried it out of the farm while the farmers laughed and chatted as they kept working. He was almost out of the farm when he was startled by the sudden shout from the annoying and familiar voice. "Hey!", Anthony yelled startling everyone and drawing attention to himself, " what are you doing?", he directed at Antonio, looking so pissed," What does it look like I'm doing?" Antonio replied, eyeing him.He walked briskly to him and took the basket from him, dropping it roughly on the floor." Hey, you better don't ruin the basket and my carrots", the woman who owns it yelled," Didn't I tell you to stop coming here? You said you love to study and Mrs Zaira said she's going to enroll you, ain't you meant to be studying?", he yelled at him," Am I going to read on an empty stomach?", Tonio yelled back at him," I said I'll take care of it"," Who are you to say that? Didn't you also want to go to school "
(Same night Durbar was tortured)Clarisse had no idea how to go home, but she planned to call Christian once she got out of the company. Everyone exits, bidding each other good night."Good job to everyone today, Have a nice night everyone!", Suzanne said as she bid all her employees good night," Good night ma'am", they replied in unison," Should I drop you off, Miss Clarisse?" Suzanne asked.Hester rolled her eyes when she saw this gesture. Clarisse was about to accept when she saw Christian's car. She turned to Suzanne smiling," No, but thank you so much, ma'am"," Okay, bye", she bid her before entering her car.Clarisse jogged towards the car waiting patiently for her, smiling as she opened the door." Hey princess," Christian greeted as soon as she opened the car and got in." Hi", she replied," How was your day?"," It was great, I had a nice time and learned new things"," I'm glad to hear that." Christian nodded and gestured for the driver to drive.Hester scoffed as she w
