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
Days went by and here I am looking at my reflection in the mirror while wearing a white tutu dress with a see-through puffed sleeve. My hair is into a braided bun with white roses crown. Today is the first day of La Sylphide's performance and I'm kinda nervous.I took a deep breath and close my eyes putting both hands on my waist. I exhale again and lift my body with my toes stretching my neck and my shoulder. I was in that position for a minute or two before I get back to resting position. I stretch my lips into a smile narrowing my eyes with glittering eyelashes extension and glowing eye shadow when the door suddenly opens without a knock.I immediately turn around when I saw Gianni enter together with Aunt Marie who's wearing a black dress just below her knees. A genuine smile forms on my lips and approaches the two."Aunt!" I said like a kid and hug her tightly."Easy dear, your dress might be ruined," she said and I pulled away smiling brightly at he
I once read that death is inevitable and people must try to die well. It was said that the greatest certainty in life is death and the greatest uncertainty is time, and it was true. I believe that death is inevitable but I didn't expect that I would die at this age, at this moment, at this time. I thought I could die well and happy, but time is indeed unpredictable. It always ruined your plans, the future that you picture out inside your head. One moment, you feel like everything is under your control, that you could do everything that you wanted. But then time snatch you that confidence just like a thief who robs you in the night. And you just realize that you are not in control of everything. You realize that life doesn't revolve around you, it doesn't revolve in your choices or decisions but your fate.If my fate is to die right now, then maybe I should just accept it."Wife! Damn it wife! You need to wake up, please baby..."I tried to open my eyes whe
I'm staring at nowhere still thinking what Vicenzo told me. I'm bothered but I couldn't put it into words that's why I become speechless a while ago. I just woke up, I think this is the effect of the IV drip that the doctor gave me, I feel sleepy all the time.I was dragged back to my reverie when the door of my room open and Calcifer enter who's holding a paper bag and one handy bag. I tilt my head and I smile politely at him when he looks at me."Good morning" I greeted him that made him chuckle."It's already midnight Mia Signora" he replied and pointed to the digital clock beside my bed.My gaze turns towards it and I giggle. I wasn't aware that it's already 7:00 in the evening. The window is closed and I couldn't see outside because of the thick brown curtain that's why I thought it still morning."What time did I woke up a while ago?" I ask."That's already afternoon" he replied and place the paper bag on the center table.I pur
I groan when I felt someone is kissing my left cheek down to the left side of my neck trailing a featherweight kiss to my bare shoulder. I squeeze my eyes close and move my hand when I felt a hand caressing my waist carefully."Saint..."I murmured in a sleepy voice opening my eyes a little.Vicenzo's handsome face greeted me. His lips curved into a smile that made me smile too. I close my eyes again when he leans down and kisses the side of my lips and nuzzles his head on my neck."Good morning sleepyhead" he whispers in a husky voice against my skin that tickles me a little.His warm breath fanning on the skin of my neck. It feels nice but I can feel how his adam's apple moves and it's a bit tickling."Hmmm," I softly groan and carefully move to hug his waist when he starts sniffing my scent just like he used to do.I'm still so sleepy and my eyes are still heavy. I want more sleep but he's acting like a kid again. I suddenly wonder what ha
"How are you?" Gianni ask me.I smile at him and I raised my hand showing him that I can now move without feeling too much pain. It's been four days since I was discharged from the hospital just like what Vicenzo told me. My father visited me yesterday but he was not with Aliah nor with Mommy Adeline. I'm a bit disappointed, but who am I to complain right? I'm just glad Gianni visit me today."I'm doing good, my nurse is strictly monitoring me and I think that helps a lot," I told him which made him chuckle.His two cute dimples get visible in my eyes making my smile widened. I know why he's laughing, I'm a very stubborn ever since I was a child. Of course, he would laugh at me knowing that I become an obedient patient out of a sudden."Good thing you're not giving that nurse of yours a hard time" he grinned playfully.I pursed my lips and I briefly glance at Gordon who's standing on the balcony guarding the surrounding making sure that no one is c
