All thanks to Clara, the main funeral service was over before Marcel could arrive. Even when he reached the burial scene, the coffin was already being lowered into the ground and he had to push his way to the front. Unlike the other families of the victims, this one was quite aware of her husband's activities and that was why the burial was graced by mostly members of the gang with a few family members. Everyone was dressed in black as he was and just when Marcel was close to standing in front, one of the men resisted him crossing over. "What the hell?" The man said and turned to glare at who had tried passing through him only to get the shock of his life. "B-boss," He stammered, having recognized Marcel. Marcel didn't know the man and guessed he was from a lower-ranking member of the gang. He was not obliged to know every member of his gang, especially those at the bottom of the structure, it was the captain's responsibility except that such a person was recommended. He could se

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

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

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

"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
