"Wife are you alright?"
I blink my eyes and look at him. His deep charcoal grey eyes bore into me with worried emotions.
"Damn! You're not talking, why are you not talking?" He burst out panicking but not to the point that he is helplessly screaming.
He was just almost bursting out and losing the single thread of patient he had. But amidst the, at he is still the Vicenzo that I knew.
I weakly smile at him "V-Vicenzo" I whisper in a croaky voice.
He puffed out a breath, instantly I spread my arms open to hug him.
"Come here," I told him.
He came closer to me. Guilt, worried and sadness are evident in his beautiful eyes. But it didn't make him a mess of the Vicenzo Santorini that I knew and married.
"I'm damn worried" He murmured like a kid after I cage him with my two arms and his head on my shoulder hugging my waist.
"I am fine" I assure him to ease the guilt his feeling right now "I was just shocked and horrified with w
I heard him sigh on the other line..."Are you alright? I heard what happen. Someone sends you a death threat" Gian confronted me asking a direct question.I lick my lower lip and glance at the sleeping Vicenzo "I am fine, I just woke up" I honestly replied.There's no use in lying. Of course, he would know what happen. Probably Aunt Marie already knows that I'm married to Vicenzo."You collapsed Rose, is that what you called fine?" He points sounding a bit hysterical far from the calm and lively voice that I used to hear from him.Since he found out that I marry Vicenzo, Gianni suddenly changes into someone that I don't know. He usually smiles, I love talking to him because he is always lively to talk, funny, calm, and gentle. His smiling face that makes his dimples visible is my favorite. But now? He's almost like Vicenzo knows. Creased forehead, frustrated tone of voice, shouting and short-tempered."Vicenzo is taking good care of me. Not
"You are guarded anywhere you go," Gianni said in a low calm voice but displease is evident in his tone while roaming his eyes around.I did what he did and I force myself to smile seeing those men in black standing on every corner of the house. As usual, they all look like a statue. Not moving, not talking, and no specific emotions on their faces. Although I'm living in this house for a long time, still I can't get used to their presence. There are too many people here, you know."They are for security purposes, Gian," I told him and I smile at Jana when I saw her approach while holding a two cup of coffee.I wasn't expecting him to come this early. He was hesitant yesterday when I ask him and I was so surprised to see him today. Vicenzo left early, we didn't talk much this morning but he agrees about Gianni visiting me this day. He even suggests that I could call some of my friends for me not to get bored. He said that he'll be home late because of his unfinis
"How could you say that in front of me without hesitation Svanna Rose?" He disappointingly said to me. It was evident in his eyes how disappointed he is in me. Why? Am I not allowed to trust Vicenzo? Can't he understand my situation right now? Can't he just be happy for me? "Because I wanted you to know that everything is alright. You don't need to do unnecessary things because I am alright" I took a deep breath and step closer to him. I reach his hand and hold it tightly "I don't know Vicenzo that much, I am also wondering what's behind with those names that people keep on telling that he is dangerous. But there is something that I can assure you Gian" I smile and look at his serious face "He will never hurt me. He's a tough and rugged-looking man with a soft side. He will never do anything to me. He respected me. I wouldn't be like this he didn't show any good side of him to me. I will never trust him if I didn't saw the worth he had" I explain. People some
"Where are we going?" I asked Vicenzo who's driving the car silently with his focus on the road.I'm looking out of the window curious about this unknown place I'm seeing right now. We are already far from the city and I am not expecting it knowing how paranoid Vicenzo is these past few days."Why? Are you bored already?" He asks instead of answering me.I turn my gaze on him and tilt my head while watching his serious face. I didn't know that we could be like this. This is far from what I expected. Knowing Vicenzo for the first time and judging him by his unwelcoming facade."I'm not bored" I paused and rested my back on the door beside me "I'm just curious, you've been driving for almost two hours now" I stated "Aren't you tired?" I query.I don't know if there is a bodyguard who's following us."Do you know how to drive a car?" He inquires and briefly glances at me flashing his coy smile.I pursed my lips with his remark "We should
Everything back to normal. Gordon as my driver and personal bodyguard and Boise who didn't change even a bit. Piato suddenly disappears without a trace. I wanted to ask Vicenzo but I remember what he told me."How are you, young lady?" Gordon suddenly voices out who's driving the car.I glance in his direction and I saw him briefly look at me."I'm fine" I paused "I'm glad you're back and alright" I added and smile at him politely.I tilt my head and look at Boise who's sitting on the passenger seat. He's silent since we left home. Well, he is like that though but I just hope he loosens up a bit like Piato."Are you not fond of talking?" I can't help but ask him.He turns his head slightly looking at me through the corner of his eyes "It's part of the protocol Ma'am" he replied.I let out a single laugh hearing the same answer whenever I ask him something."Does Piato following the same protocols? He's more friendly than you" I
Today was so tiring that I almost forgot to eat. Vicenzo is not home yet, probably he's still busy and has a lot of things to do in the office. He didn't phone though...I walk downstairs and I tilt my head when I didn't saw any maids roaming around. I lift my head to check the time and I bit my lower lip seeing that it's already past bedtime. Did I sleep that long? I shrugged that thought and just continue walking towards the dining room. I glance at the two men in black who are standing in the doorway towards the garden before I head to the kitchen and prepare food.I was contemplating inside my head what should I do. Should I cook for myself? Well, I know how to cook a little. Or maybe I should just eat a sandwich and vegetable salad. My lips stretch into a smile upon realizing the latter. Sandwich and vegetable salad will do.I used to have Yaya Adelphi with me, I never had a hard time choosing what to eat because she always makes sure to kept food for me wh
I stop walking and turn my head to look at Calcifer who's talking to someone over his phone."Young lady..."I heard Gordon get my attention."He's different from what I expected" I whisper."He is also protecting you" he replied that made me look at him "They want to protect you"I sigh and nod my head before I decided to continue walking. I glance at the huge painting of that ballerina in the lobby before I head straight to my assigned room and change my clothes.Our tutu dress for the La Sylphide performance will arrive today. We are checking if the sizes are correct and if everything is fine before we proceed to our rehearsal for today. Few more days before Zeneca will introduce La Sylphide.I breathe out while watching myself in the mirror. I stretch my head and shoulders before I lift my body using my toe. One step, two steps, three steps. One wrong step, the play will be ruined. I licked my lower lip and fixed my hair before I step out
"Svanna Rose!" He growls loudly "Are you turning your back to me now?"I stop walking and I fisted my hand. I pressed my lips together and turn around to face him. His menacing stare is intimidating giving me a disappointed look. As always, I'm always a disappointment for him."I never turn my back on you Dad" I hissed "In fact, you're the one who turns your back on me. When Mommy died, you left me too"I tried my best not to cry. I can feel their eyes on me especially when my father walks towards my directi9k direction seriously looking at me with mixed up emotions."You hate me? Is that why you're using your husband now against me?" He accusingly utter.Confuse plastered on my face. I'm using my husband? I'm using Vicenzo against him? When did I do that?"What is this again Dad?" I unbelievably told him."Don't act as if you don't know Anna" Aliah intervene which made me look at her.She's looking at me just like how she look
