"Where's your husband?" Dad asks strictly while roaming his eyes around the room.
They were inside my room and Vicenzo's room. After his conversation with Greco and Calcifer, Dad went straight here to see me together with Mommy Adeline, and Aliah.
"He left early, he's attending a meeting" I replied politely and I even smile when he lifts his head to look at me.
I'm sitting on the bed while he's sitting on the two-seater sofa across the bed. Mommy Adeline is beside him, she was not talking- she's just silently sipping her coffee while observing around. Aliah on the other hand keep on walking back and forth checking every piece of stuff that was placed on the tables. She was like a supervisor because she's checking every corner of the room.
"Are you even sure he went on the meeting?" Dad suspiciously utters giving me an intriguing look.
I took a deep breath and shook my head. My gaze landed on my wedding ring that made me smile a little.
"I am
Instead of going back to bed, I stayed here in Vicenzo's office. I entertain myself checking those books, I let my curiosity take over me. I roamed the whole room but I stop when I heard something fell on the floor. I flinch a little in surprise and my eyes instantly went in the direction of the sound- and there I saw a small box on the carpeted floor.I walk towards it and pick it up. It's a wooden box- but it's empty. I shrugged my shoulder and place it back on the office table of Vicenzo. I scowl seeing how messy the table is, there's a pile of documents on the table, open folders, and even crumpled paper under the table."What happens here?" I mumble to myself and I start picking those crumpled paper.I shake my head and was about to stand up when suddenly the door open harshly. Instinctively, I hid on the table and cover my mouth to conceal my gasp. My eyes widened listening to the back and forth sound of footsteps while feeling the fast beating of my heart
I look at the dark sky blankly feeling the heaviness of my chest. My tears keep on streaming down to my face, the dark sky is no longer glimmering with the fascinating glitters of the stars. It's already 3 o'clock in the morning and here I am standing in the balcony wearing only my white night dress not minding the cold morning breeze.I don't know what did I do for me to experience this kind of struggle. My heart is aching and I couldn't accept everything that I found out. It's true that truth will set you free, but the consequences of finding out the truth will make you thought that 'I shouldn't have seek the truth in the first place'.I fisted my hand and took a deep breath. My mind is in so much chaos right now. I take a step forward and then I position myself into a proper posture. I press my lips together and I start counting inside my head while doing the basic position of ballet. I did it for how many times until I tried to tiptoe and lift my body. I open my ey
"What are you doing, young lady?" Gordon asked me when he saw me sitting on the "bed while combing my hair.I'm wearing a puffed short sleeve sheer blouse on the top of my emblisshed faille cady dress pair with my white buckled sandals."You suppose to be resting right now," he stated when he didn't hear any word from me.I sigh and put down the brush of my hair and I look at him. He's holding the tray of my breakfast. It's already 8:32 in the morning, but I haven't eaten my breakfast yet. I honestly don't have an appetite right now."I wanted to visit Mom, and stay with Dad for a while, and meet Gianni and Aunt Marie," I told him and reach my purse bag "Am I not allowed to do that?"I can't stay here, I just can't stay here. I wanted to sleep at home. I wanted to sleep in my room, my own room. My room at my father's house.I honestly don't know if I can face Vicenzo upon knowing such thing- that horrible thing. I swallow the sudden lump on
The car halted in front of our house. I was hesitant to step out but I force myself when Calcifer opens the door for me giving me an assuring smile."Thank you, Cal" I whisper politely."Stay safe here. Remember that even if you're here, we're still monitoring your every move. You cannot go outside, mia signora" he reminds me.I nod my head.I don't know why he agrees but I'm thankful that he let me although, I know that Vicenzo will surely get mad at him.I glance at Greco when I heard the door of the passenger seat open. He walks a little farther from us and roamed his eyes around as if he's checking every corner of my father's house."Let him, he's just checking the area" Calcifer utter.I shifted back my gaze at him and force myself to smile."I'm sorry, I know Greco didn't agree but I still insist to stay here " I apologetically mumble.He smiles coolly at me and shakes his head as if everything is just nothing to h
He's here? What is he doing here?"Flower..." he drawled which made me step back a little because of sudden nervousness "I wanna do bad things with you, I've been waiting for you..." he mutter in a low husky voice just enough for me to hear him.I bit the inside of my mouth as I felt something inside me. Him in front of me right now after days of not talking to him and not seeing him makes me think I'm just hallucinating.I didn't answer him, still surprised by his sudden appearance.I narrowed my eyes to see him clearly, wanting to make sure that it is really him. And I wasn't mistaken when I saw his lips curved into a malicious smile- giving me almost the same vibe when we first met at Zeneca Ballet.I immediately step back again upon confirming that my eyes are not fooling me. It's definitely him, my husband..."Did cat got your tongue honey?" He playfully asks me, hearing the manly tone of his natural foreign accent."V-Vicenzo...
"Not scared anymore?" He mumbles while his lips moving, trailing kisses down to my jaw.I bit my lower lip tightly because of the sensation that my body starting to accept. He's getting touchy again which doesn’t complement his rough and rug facade."I never got scared of you" I replied trying to be serious despite the tingling sensation I'm feeling right now.He stops what he's doing and bowed his head to level his face to me."Ah-huh?" He hissed playfully, provoking me, moving his brows up and down.I wanted to laugh right now because honestly, it doesn't suit him. He looks so dominant, intimidating, and menacing, and yet he's raising his freaking eyebrow like a gay? He has a rug face for Pete's shake!Instead of smiling to hide my giggle, I lick my lower lip and furrowed my brows to make it more convincing."You don't believe me" I mumble bu
I'm anxious while staring at Vicenzo and my father who seems like having a staring contest. They were both looking at each other seriously and not blinking. It seems like they were talking through their eyes that made me feel more nervous.I do not want them to clash each other again. I want to go home peacefully and not overthinking."S-Saint? Dad? Are you two alright?" I hesitantly query.I bit the inside of my mouth when I saw Vicenzo clenched his jaw that's why I immediately held his hand and intertwined our fingers to get his attention.Successfully, he withdraw his gaze to my father and look at me with a slight creased on his forehead. I smile at him and pulled his hand a little."I think we should go now" I said in small voice.He smile at me gently before he take a step closer to me. He instantly wrap his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him that made me smile at my father shyly."Take care of my daughter, Mr. Santo
A genuine smile form on my lips after I roamed my eyes around the whole living room. We just arrive and Vicenzo is getting my things in the compartment of the car. While here I am, standing in this big living room of our house."Welcome back mia signora"My eyes widened in awe when I saw Piato behind Greco. He's waving his hand at me giving me that same vibe when he was my bodyguard before."Nice to see you Piato" I greeted him and he shyly scratches the back of his head.But Greco cleared his throat that made Piato stood straight and flash a serious face."Go back to your post Piato" Greco hissed which Piato immediately oblige.Oh. He's scared of Greco?I bit the inside of my mouth and clasp my both hands on my back. Of course, he will be scared. Greco is almost the same as Vicenzo. They were both giving those people around them a cold treatment. Even I experience it..."Welcome back" he seriously greeted "I hope you're okay n
