Clarisse checked herself out again the sixth time, making sure everything was in order and asking Blue multiple times about her looks before leaving the room, dressed in a skinny black trouser, a white turtle neck top with long sleeves, black ankle boots, and a big black sweater. Blue assisted in putting on light makeup for her, wore a bangle, and carried a black purse." Hi", she greeted smiling as she saw Christian waiting for her by the car." Hey Mama, looking gorgeous", he complimented causing her to smile," Thank you, I hope I didn't keep you waiting"," Not as long as I've waited", he replied.Clarisse looked confused when he said that but she shrugged it off. She stared at him after sitting inside the car; he was a dreamboat, and no eyes could be tired of staring at the man who seemed to have descended from the realm of gods. His handsomeness had no flaws, and his charisma was breathtaking." You like what you see?", he teased her, jolting her back to her senses.She felt emb
There she was, laughing so loud that gives her the chills, the irritating faces of the people who made her life miserable, Patricia, Alice, and the person who immediately made her feel dizzy, Victor. Clarisse immediately looked away; her breath trembled, and a feeling of fear crept through her. ' what's he doing here? Why is he here? Why didn't Christian tell me he'll be here?', she kept saying in her mind as she gradually began to feel suffocated. Grandfather looked at her and immediately knew something was wrong; her forehead was getting sweaty even though the atmosphere was chilly, and she was trembling. Just as when he wanted to reach out to her, a figure hugged her from the back and his eyes caught who it was. Christian. Her mind called as she was hugged; his drop of pleasant cologne filled her nose and dropped the storm rising in her, calming her down as she felt a sense of safety. Christian frowned deeply as he saw the new guest. His frown deepened when he saw Victor, and
" Is that some kind of tale?" her annoyed voice cut him short, " were you like that to me or my sister?".He looked up to see a dashing woman, her skin was glowing, and the pale face he was familiar with was gone, now replaced with a beautiful, cheeky face accompanied by a painted nose, her banging figure, and her elegancy that spoke of another class, he almost nearly not recognized her." What are you talking about Clarisse, it was this jealousy that made you ruin your marriage with him, he was just being a nice man"," You mean a nice boy, 'cause this is the first man I'm married to", Clarisse said and wrapped her arm around Christian's, who tried to hide the fact that the statement got to him.Alice scoffed disgustedly, eyeing her." I love you, Clarisse, and gave you everything you want, but I'm sorry it's my fault that you couldn't get satisfied", he said, feigning a guilty expression.Christian could tell that she was furious as he could feel her clenching her wrapped hand aroun
Clarisse walked through the pact unsure of what to do. She kept looking around the forest strolling with her gun in her right hand." I can't hunt here like this", she said to herself as she decided to enter the forest. Every other person has spared up and has entered the forest to hunt leaving her all by herself. She was bored and had no clue about what to do, but she went anyway.She kept looking around the forest, moving carefully so as not to attract any dangerous animals or trip and injure herself. " Are there even any animals here? It's so..uh?" she quickly hid behind the branch as she saw the deer. She smiled and said," I found one. But am I supposed to be hiding?".She carefully peeped and saw that the deer was busy eating, cluelessly of who was watching it.Clarisse carefully took her stance, making sure she didn't make any sound so as not to scare the animal away." Christian would be so proud of me", she thought to herself as she raised her gun and pointed it at the anima
Clarisse began to leap as soon as she was out of Alice's sight, she couldn't fake it anymore as it really hurts. She leaped back to the clear pack she once was, frowning her face with every step she took as the ankle really hurt.She could hear someone running and raised her head to see Christian running up to her. She stood straight, watching him run to her, her heart melting, and her eyes got teary when she noticed the expression on her face.I thought I had lost everything; I thought there was nothing left, even my dreams seemed like an unreachable cloud, but maybe I was wrong anyway; maybe it wasn't over yet.Her heart started beating so fast and all she needed was a hug from him.Christian got to where she was standing and stopped running; he was panting, and written all over his face were his worries." Where have you been? I've looked everywhere for you, but you weren't picking up your phone either", he said, almost yelling.Clarisse blinked her eyes." Oh. I didn't take my pho

(13 years ago)Antonio grunted as he walked out of his room to the living room where his mum and Anthony were. He sighed frustratedly on seeing his mother; she looked so skinny and pale; her lips were all bruised, and her face, her fingers were long and tiny, looking so worn off, and her messy hair packed in a bun shape. She was dressed in a flower-patterned blouse and a flare-long skirt." Mum, you should take some rest; there's nothing we can do; it's not our fault, there's no money; he was the reason why your business failed," Anthony said angrily.Antonio's stomach grumbled, but he was so angry that he ignored his hungry stomach." Mum!" he yelled, startling her." Stop shouting", Anthony shouted back at him," I'm not shouting, I'm just pissed, do you think people would believe it if we say you're our mother?", he began, " we are two handsome boys, we inherited this look fr
" Ow", Clarisse winced," Stay still".Clarisse clenched the tip of the pillow, trying to endure the pain, and Christian gently massaged the ankle. She looked at him as he took care of her; his furrowed brow looked so serious and carefree. Her heart was melting as she watched him try to make it less painful for her and apply lotion around it before placing it on the floor gently." Done, how do you feel?", he asked sitting up next to her," Hm, it's better now", she replied nodding her head," Can you walk with it?"," I should be able to "," Try".She stood up and took a few steps back and forth, nodding her head, "Woah! It's almost not paining me again "," Yeah, I can see that; you're no longer leaping like a frog."Clarisse paused with her shoulder dropped as she gave him a side look but he simply looked away," Just don't stress it, make sure it's no longer paining you"," Hm", she nodded and went back to sit." Mama," he called, looking over at her.The serious but sexy tone ca
"Okay.... let's eat", Sharon said, preparing to dig into the mouth-watering food when Christian grabbed Victor's wrist.His heart skipped, and he didn't say anything throughout the night, hoping not to jolt Christian's senses, but he was wrong; even his silence could not make Christian forget their deal." You ain't forgetting something, are you?" he asked, looking at him.Victor gulped down an empty lump, " what are you talking about?"," I hunted two animals today, how many were you able to kill?"," None", Ashley responded for him and started laughing.Christian let go of his hand and stood up quietly, he put one of his legs forward," You know what to do".Victor clenched his fist hard around the spoon in his hand; he couldn't believe he was facing such humiliation; his blood was boiling; someone as rich as he was going to clean some nonsensical man's shoe, no way." Hey, you can't be serious, did you take that seriously?... "," Hm", Christian nodded, " I took it seriously "," D
