That comment was a huge slap on his face. Everything Clara has done to him, Marcel was able to endure and move on but he had never felt this insulted until now. As someone who had been with many women and could boast of his ability to bring a woman to orgasm, it was a huge blow to his pride. Plus men were egotistical creatures, not to mention that Arthur currently smirking at him irked him, greatly."What did you just say?" Marcel asked in a dangerously low tone. His fists were clutched by the side which was the only sign of anger he showed because his expression was apathetic; he was completely void of emotion.Marcel was angry, Clara could see that, considering that she couldn't tell what was going on in his mind with his blank face. However, she knows him well enough to know that below that calm demeanor, there was a burning inferno.Clara was supposed to be scared, but what gave her confidence was the fact that Marcel wouldn't be able to harm her, not in the open and not with hi
Clara stood as frozen as an ice fish, her brain seem to have malfunctioned the moment Marcel pressed his lips against hers. She did not see it coming.Her mind had been wrapped around the pain in her scalp where he grabbed her hair tightly and was cursing him mentally only for him to kiss her suddenly.Clara didn't react even though her eyes were open and witnessed when Marcel's eyes shut close. Like magic, the pain in her scalp became numb the same moment the kiss deepened and her lips parted. If anything the pain gave birth to a bliss that made her body shudder. It was a kiss like never before and had her toes curling even before she could respond to him. Clara couldn't count the number of times she and Luther kissed but it couldn't compare to this one right here. This kiss was on a higher level and it made her begin to see Marcel in another light. Marcel was a damn good kisser and she couldn't help but wonder if this was what she had been missing out on all this time? If she had
Arianna didn't have a nightmare last night, no, she didn't even have a dream. However, she woke up quite early and was on tenterhooks.Her head was finally cleared from the events of yesterday and she had the opportunity to think. Now, how was she going to get herself out of this predicament? She can't keep on deceiving Big Joe and pretending to be interested in being his faithful wife in the future.However, it wasn't that bad marrying Big Joe, right? She means, compared to Marcel, he's been good to her.No!!Arianna shook the useless thought out of her head. What the hell was she thinking? She had to force herself to remember why she should never get married to Big Joe in the first place.Number one, she wasn't ready for marriage. Arianna was not against those getting into marriage early, however, she needed breathing space. She has heard how tough being married is and enjoyed her singlehood a bit before being tied into such bondage. Moreover, she would rather experience hell with
Thinking about her ridiculous proposal now, Arianna could imagine how shocked her father must have been by that. Imagine your seven-year-old daughter telling you she wanted to get married to her crush? She was quite bold as a kid. But all that ended after her father died and she crawled into a shell of her own."Arianna, what are you talking about?" asked her father, still flustered by her announcement.She pouted, "I'm thinking, since I don't have a mom, I could just get married to my crush and be my own mom, and then when the time comes, we'd have our babies," she figured everything out.Her father went pale in the face, "How could you think of such a thing, my Ari? Look around you, do you see any of your mates that are married?"She shrugged, "No,""Then why would you think of such, Arianna," He breathed. "You said It's unique to be different. The fact that I think this way means that I'm special and special people do great things. I could go down in history as the youngest marri
Arianna found herself on a beach and instinctively looked to the side to notice her father by her side. She smiled, knowing she was right to have taken his hand. Her father was dressed entirely in a white outfit and when she looked down, she was wearing a flowing white dress as well."Daddy!" She screamed and ran into his open arms. Arianna felt like she was back to being a kid once again and relished the feelings. It was a dream come true. "Arianna," He whispered back, running his hands through her hair while she pressed her face to his neck."I missed you, daddy. I missed you so, so, so much," She confessed, hugging him tighter as if he would vanish if she dared to let go. Arianna didn't want to be separated from him ever again."I know, I know," The man admitted and kissed her face out of happiness. They remained that way for a while until Arianna finally let go of him yet held onto his hand. She was not letting go of him this time. A life without her father was not worth it. He
Cassie watched her thrash around on the bathtub and honestly, she admired Arianna's courage to go through with her plan of suicide. Although she was surprised what might have triggered that decision, nonetheless, everything worked in her favor or so she thought.It wasn't until Cassie realized that Big Joe would be angry if anything were to happen to Arianna and that she would be the first suspect in this case, made her finally make a move. Even if it were a suicide, Big Joe wouldn't believe her and would use her as a scapegoat to appease his anger - Arianna committing suicide days before her marriage was a big slap to his face and a huge stain on his reputation. So Cassie went into action immediately, pulling her naked form out from the tub and began to perform emergencyCardiopulmonary resuscitation on her. For over a minute when Arianna didn't respond, Cassie was scared that she was really dead and was planning on raising an alarm when she suddenly came to life. Now she - Cassie
"I don't really like this," Arianna complained, wiggling in the dress like a fish out of water.After Big Joe announced his plans of having breakfast with her, Clara took over the role of dressing her up for the occasion. And she came up with the idea of dressing cute yet sexy for her husband to be (so she reminds her constantly). Arianna was going to be sick. Currently, she was wearing a floral V-neck Midi dress. The deep neck showed off a lot of cleavages than she usually would. Arianna bet Big Joe would concentrate more on her breast than the food on the table - and she didn't like it, one bit. Arianna was a reserved person and hardly showed skin in her dressing - that was more of Mimi's style. Not to mention that she was quite conscious of her body, especially now she lost weight. She must look like a skeleton. She cringed at the thought of looking at a mirror."Stop doing that," Cassie slapped her hand away when she tugged at the neckline again as if trying to pull it together
The room Arianna entered was spacious with blackwood flooring and enough lightning to illuminate all corners. It wasn't magnificent yet plush, however, what captured her attention was the long rectangular table.There were about ten people seated down on it with a hot feast served right in front of them. And no matter how much she stared at them Arianna had no clue who they were and all were immaculately dressed in suits. Not to mention that they were all males, no females. Not even a female company accompanied them. Not one. Arianna was the only female gender in the room and she had never felt like an outcast, an odd number in her entire life until now. It was her against the men. All eyes were on her upon her arrival and she felt like running away, as fast as her feet could take her. But her body didn't comply with her mind; Arianna stood frozen like a fish. Looking to the right, she finally saw Big Joe seated adjacent to his guests and at that moment their eyes connected. He wa
