Extreme fear can neither fight nor fly, and I'm experiencing it right now. My legs are shaking, my lips are quivering and my hands are trembling while having a hard time to breath. I'm having a panic attack due to trauma and although I can hear Vicenzo keep on cursing in frustration while calling my name, still I couldn't find the courage to calm down.
What if they successfully haunt me? What if they wouldn't miss anything and they will surely kill me on their next attempt? What will happen to me? I don't even know who's our enemy...
"Damn it! Svanna!"
I gasp for air and almost fell on the floor good thing I able to grip Vicenzo's shoulder as he held me tight on my waist.
"S-Saint..." I cried silently and buried my face on his chest "They were after me..." I whisper and tighten my grip on the fabric of his shirt.
"Ssshh calms down..." he soothed me in low voice trying to calm me down and without a word, he carries me as if I was just a lightweight
"Oh come on, I'm serious here" I irritatingly whisper.He lowers his head almost touching the side of my lips "I am too" he hissed.I gulp. The proximity of his body to mine is starting to change my breathing. This is not so good."S-Saint, we need to discuss-"I didn't finish my sentence when his lips covered mine stopping me from what I wanted to say. Instantly, a low sigh escape on my lips followed by his low growled because of the contact of our lips. His lips move to do his rhythm slowly drowning. His hand inside my dress is touching the bare skin of my waist moving up and down. His sudden move was surprising, I was taken aback and didn't able to kiss him back instantly not until he bit my lower lip.The warmth on his hand is like fuel that was added to the fire of his kisses. A familiar sensation runs through my veins giving me a marvelous feeling with his soft and passionate kiss added by his sensual touch.I am so weak with this...
Days went by and I spent those days resting and recovering. The last time I went out is when I saw that 'see you soon note, after that, I intentionally didn't step out on Vicenzo's mansion. Let's just say that I'm starting to become more paranoid and anxious now that my fear has suddenly become real."Good morning!" I happily greeted Gordon as I walk downstairs carefully.He immediately advances his steps towards me and helps me to walk until I finally reach the living room."Good morning young lady, you should call me to assist you," Gordon said and I giggle because of the seriousness of his voice."No need, you see I can walk on my own now. Vicenzo even let me do a little stretching" I stated and walk towards the dining room as usual.Today is a very nice day, the weather is getting along with my mood. I don't know, but I feel so happy today even though my situation is not that good. Maybe it is because I and Vicenzo are having a good time togeth
After eating my breakfast I immediately head back to my room. I walk towards the balcony and I roamed my eyes around before I dialed Gianni's number. It took me a couple of seconds before he finally answers the call which made me sigh. "What's with the sudden call?" He greeted me. I bit my lower lip and my eyes landed on the men in black who's guarding the whole mansion. "Sorry to disturb you Gian, but I have a favor to ask you. I hope you don't mind" I apologetically utter but hopeful at the same time. "A favor? Sure, what was it, Rose?" I sigh "Can you visit me here tomorrow? I will tell it to you in person" I told him. I hope he's not busy and he can give me some time. I badly need help from him, I can't ask for help from Gordon because he will surely won't help me once he found out what kind of help I will ask him. "Is it that important? " he asks in a low serious tone. I licked my lower lip and grip the railing of
Morning came and I found myself in the garden waiting for Gianni. Vicenzo left early with Calcifer, he said he has something to deal with someone and he needs Calcifer to take care of the legal matters.Maybe it's about a business matter."Mia Signora," Boise approach me and suddenly place a tab of ice cream in front of me that made me look at him."I don't..." I paused and bit the inside of my mouth " I can't eat an ice cream Boise, sorry" I apologetically told him.He scratches the back of his head "Gordon ask me to gave this to you" he replied in his usual toneless voice.I creased my forehead. Gordon? I tilt my head and I realize that I didn't saw Gordon since I came out of my room."Where is he?" I query and accept the ice cream with the same flavor that Gordon gave me when I was still a kid.I lift my head to look at Boise. I'm not sure which direction he's looking at because he's wearing his usual black shade. The thing he call
Standing on the balcony of my room, I saw the familiar black roll Royce car of Vicenzo enter the mansion. My gaze follows the movement of the car as it stops in front of the main door. I was not surprised when I saw Gordon step out from the driver's seat and open the door on the backseat but creased my forehead when Calcifer follow him and it seems like they were arguing.Seeing the two enter the house, I immediately step out of my room. I walk fast planning to approach the two, I was about to walk downstairs but I stop when I heard a loud sound of broken glass. I gasp and cover my mouth before I immediately walk silently and look at what's happening in the living room.My eyes widened in shock when I saw a broken vase on the marble floor, I even saw the blood dripping from Vicenzo's hand and the small cut on Calcifer's face.What's happening to them?"What did you tell to her?!" Vicenzo exclaimed in
As days go by, lies slowly become visible in my eyes. I don't know how did it start, as far as I can remember I did my best not to do anything regardless of what happened to me. I did my best to act cool, to play dumb, and be stupid. But it seems like no lies will forever be kept."Good morning wife"I flinch when I felt someone touch me. I step back and lift my head, my eyes widened when I saw Vicenzo who immediately held my waist to pulled me back closer to him."Are you alright? You're pale" he worriedly asks in forehead creased.I stared at his handsome face, instantly I lost in my thoughts while memorizing every feature of his face. His drowning eyes, proud nose, sexy lips, and well-sculpted jawline. He's almost perfect to look at if he is not just grumpy and always frowning.My lips stretch into a smile and I held his arm that is around my waist "When did you wake up?" I query changing the topic.The light creased of his forehead deepe
"You look nervous" Vicenzo utter and glance in my direction.I felt his hand on my thigh and squeeze lightly. I moisten my dry lips before I turn my gaze on him flashing a small smile."Can we visit Mom first?" I ask hopefully.It's been a while since the last time I visit Mom's grave. I just suddenly miss her when I woke this morning. I wanted to hug her and tell her all my worries that bother me a lot."What did your father told you yesterday?" Vicenzo asks instead in a controlled tone of voice.I bit the inside of my mouth as I meet his deep charcoal grey eyes that have no emotion. I breathe heavily and my palm landed on his hand that was rested on my thigh.There's no reason for me to lie about what Dad said because I'm sure Vicenzo already has a hint about it too."He doesn't want to see you..." I honestly said.His jaw clench "And so am I" he utters controlling his anger, turning his hand into a fist."But I ho
"What's the meaning of this Dad?" I voice out feeling the sudden lump on my throat. I look at him straight in his eyes waiting for his explanation. The last time he asks me to sign a paper was the marriage contract that I wasn't able to read what's written on it. And now, he wanted me to sign a divorce paper. Does he think that this divorce paper will resolve everything? "It's the way out Svanna. I know I'm the one who put you in that situation that's why I'm doing my best to get you back. All you need is to sign the divorce paper" he explains and took a deep breath "Don't be scared. Daddy is here, I will do everything to erase Vicenzo's name on your name" he added. I swallow the lump on my throat while looking at him with my glassy eyes. I wanted to cry but I'm holding myself not to. Regret is indeed always in the end. I can see it- I can see in his eyes that he regrets everything that he did. "Dad..." I whisper and shook my head staring at m
