"How do you feel right now?" Vicenzo whispers behind me while gently blowing the tattoo on the upper part of my shoulder blade.
I sniff and look at him through my shoulder. How could he ask me that? I cried a bucket because it's really painful every time I felt the tip of the pen on my skin.
He tricks me, he said it's not painful. But here I am, still can feel the sting sensation on my skin. I purse my lips and my eyes narrowed when he flashed a cocky smile.
"Don't give me that look, you insist on having a tattoo right?" He chuckles and hugs me from behind " The pain will subside later" he soothes me making sure that his voice sounds pleasing in my ears.
I sniff again and look away "You said it's not painful" I whisper earning a low laugh from him.
I felt his lips on my shoulder, the movement of his lips on my bare skin somehow ease the pain. But still, he tricks me.
I thought we're gonna went to a tattoo shop. He picks me a while ago and I
ON THE NEXT DAY...Wearing a black ballet dress, I'm looking myself at the wall mirror inside the dance room. It's still 5:00 in the morning, Vicenzo left early. We actually ate breakfast together before I start my morning routine. Miss Gisella adjust our time of rehearsal to give us a vacant hour to practice.I am thinking deeply about what kind of Giselle I'm planning to show to everyone. Giselle is about the beautiful young peasant girl who fell madly in love with the nobleman Albrecht. It is a tragic story, Giselle died because of heartbreak when she found out Albrecht betray her. What's good about this is, Giselle didn't end up like a Wilis- a spirit of a maiden who died because of heartbreak. She shows that her love is pure and forgiving."I want to understand the deeper meaning of Giselle" I whisper to myself.I sigh and tiptoe with a proper posture. My hands are on both sides of my waist. Why analyzing the question of Miss Gisella.'W
"Where's Svanna?" Vicenzo asks in a low authoritative voice.He's a bit worried for his wife, he knows she will surely overwork herself because of the upcoming Giselle play. And the shits that happening right now, the organization, the Cypress, and those mobs that hunting them because he's a fucking Santorini.He squeezes his eyes close and pinches the bridge of his nose."Mia signora is now heading inside the Zeneca Ballet, boss" Boise answered on the other line.His forehead creased."Stay close to her, and check the vicinity from time to time" he strictly instructed when he saw his secretary "And make sure she won't overwork herself. She can't go home late" he added and before Boise could answer him he ends the call.He faces his secretary with a stern facial expression. He's about to ask him about his schedule for today when suddenly his phone rang, flashing Boise code number on the screen.Without a second thought, he stood on hi
There are things that no matter how hard we try to avoid still it will happen. I was unaware that I've been playing death since the beginning that Vicenzo set his eyes on me, the moment I accept his hand for a handshake is the moment I start to skate on the thin ice.I was clueless about it, I set aside my fear of marrying him and acted as if nothing has changed. But when the reality of life slapped me with the life that I already had as Vicenzo's wife, fear suddenly becomes visible in my eyes. But it's too late for me to step back with the choice I made because I found something from Vicenzo that makes me stay no matter what the circumstances are.I just didn't know that it could be this hard..."Where's the woman?" I heard a stern voice that made me gulp with fear.I can't see anything. My eyes are covered with this rough cloth, in short, they blindfolded me. My both hands are also tied to my back. I'm sitting on this steel chair that always creates an
"No... no... you're lying" I conceal my muffle cries "Saint will never kill innocent, he will never do that" I mumble.Instead of saying anything he just harshly grabs my hair and covers my eyes again. I struggle with his grip but he's way stronger. He said something using a foreign language before I heard the door open and slammed close afterward.I desperately move my hands and feet wanting to free myself, every time I do that, I felt something going deeper into my skin and it's so freaking painful. The chain on my body is slowly tightening too every time I move. I don't know why, but every time I try to resist the chain is squeezing me tightly making me catch my breath."Ahhhh!" I helplessly groan in pain.Instantly, my body went weak when I stop moving. My breathing becomes too short for me to breathe evenly and all I could do is to cry with my helpless situation.I know Saint is finding me already, I know that they will never stop until they r
"Get that woman away from here" Cipriss demanded."Are you really going to revenge your wife by killing someone like her?" I unbelievably ask him.He stops walking and looks at me in dead eyes. I can see, that he's taken aback because he couldn't open his mouth to speak. I know everyone has their own share of sorrow. I know I shouldn't judge him because I didn't know anything. I didn't know the pain he experience when he lost his wife, but I know how does it feel like to lost someone you really love.I do not want to invalidate his anger, his grief, and his mourning. But does it need to end like this? Do people need to commit the same mistake just to console their wounded hearts? I am not sure if it is valid, or if it is reasonable enough to kill someone like me."Do not mention my wife, ever again" he gritted his teeth.I press my lips together."How far are you willing to take just to avenge her death? Will you be in peace seeing someone d
They say, after the rain, there's a rainbow- but that's not what I feel right now. I open my eyes and the smell of antiseptic welcomes me together with the blinding light of the ceiling. My whole body is aching, my head is throbbing so bad, and my heavy lids are making my vision blurry. There is this excruciating pain on my back and on my side, the muscles on my legs are stiff and I feel so weak that I couldn't even move my fingers.W-Why is this happening to me?I squeeze my eyes close trying to recall everything that happens before I end up here. Jana... I talked to Jana, and then someone covers my mouth and I fell asleep- I don't know how long, I just woke up with my eyed covered with rough cloth and chained on the chair. I gasp for air when I felt a suffocating feeling, my tears start streaming down to my face remembering how they traumatized me. They undress me, splashed me with water, slapped me, grab my hair, and they didn't even let me eat nor drink water.
"LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?!" my father growl like a mad man.I flinch, shocked with his sudden outburst full of rage and madness. Even Mommy Adie was surprised with Daddy while Aliah on the other hand is sitting beside Gordon."Roman calm down, just think about your blood pressure" Mommy Adie whisper and shot a glare at me.I shook my head and took a deep breath."Let's talk calmly Dad," I lift my head and turn my gaze at him "We won't fix this misunderstanding if your mind is clouded with anger""This is not misunderstanding Svanna Rose!" He angrily exclaimed and snatch his arm away from Mommy Adie's grip "I rather locked you up in our house than to always visit you inside this fucking hospital! I'm not gonna attend a funeral ceremony for my daughter!" He hissed.I bit my lower lip and squeeze my eyes close. I understand his concern. Of course, I am his daughter- he's worried and he just wants me safe. I am glad that he can now show me my wo
"Saint," I greeted Vicenzo with a smile.He smile back at me and I notice the basket of flowers his holding. I was about to ask him and complain but Dad cleared his throat to get my attention which made me shifted back my gaze at him."I will go now, I can't stay longer because I still need to attend a lunch meeting" he seriously said and check his wristwatch.I nod my head and flash a small smile."Thank you for visiting me Dad,""This will be the last time I'll visit you in this place Svanna. There will be no next time" he firmly told me.My smile widened and nod my head."Yes Daddy, please be careful"He strictly look at me before he finally nod his head and walk towards the door not giving Vicenzo a single glance. I frown because of that and I slowly look at Saint with a sad smile on my face."I'm sorry about my father..." I whisper.He walk closer to me and sit on my bed."I will talk to him, don't wor
