Foxy And Her Guardian 16: Stay
“When is Ethan getting discharged?” Faith asked Mateo as she followed him to his office. She has been feeling better after she ate some fruits someone got her, slept a little more, and showered. She changed into a plain white tee, and a pair of ripped jeans. She had her hair tied in a ponytail. Her face is bare of any makeup, making the dark circles and swollen eyes more obvious. She asked Mateo to let her see Ethan, but Mateo suggested waiting for him to discharge – since her presence might bring more danger to the poor guy. She agreed. She has already brought enough trouble to him. She will not be surprised if he cuts all ties with her from now on. Who would want to be with a girl, who is on people’s hit list? Ethan could have died earlier. He might be alive and recovering, but Faith knows that undesirably she has already pulled Ethan into this infelicitous mess. He was seen with her. Also, his sister’s café is now known by those who are following her as well. Mateo might have kil
Foxy And Her Guardian 17: The Bianchi and The Ricci Families
It has been a week since Faith has been transferred to the safe house, and she would be lying if she would say she hates it here. When she first heard about a safe house, she thought it would be a place somewhere underground or in a bunker. She will have to live in a one-room place with a tiny bathroom and no windows. She didn’t expect the safe house to be on an island in the South, and she didn’t expect it to be a resort. When Mateo was taking her to the safe house, she didn’t think they would be taking a speedboat to reach the place. It didn’t feel like she was going to hide, it felt more like a vacation. She hasn’t been on one for ages. It took them more than an hour to reach there, the people who lived there spoke a different language, but they all were very welcoming towards Mateo. They all welcomed him with flowers, fireworks, and sweets. Faith remembers walking behind Mateo while he was being celebrated. She wondered why they all were treating him like this. She saw him talkin
Foxy And Her Guardian 18: The Truth That Cuts Deep
The tour of the school was pleasant. It would have gone better if Faith was not so lost in her thoughts. As promised, Kami introduced her to his teachers. Everyone seemed to be happy to meet her. Mateo didn’t tag along, he told Faith that he was going to resort. Before he left, he asked Kami to not tell everyone that Faith belongs to the Bianchi family yet. He just made things easy for Faith, she was already confused. She would have gotten overwhelmed if everyone knew. Once the tour was over, she thanked Kami for bringing her to his old school and promised to treat him with lunch tomorrow, to which Kami got very excited. He promised that he will not tell anyone about her belonging to the Bianchi family before he escort her to the jeep waiting for her to take her back to the resort. Kami’s house is closer to the school, so he didn’t tag along with her. After saying farewell to the boy, Faith was driven to the resort. All her way back, she couldn’t stop thinking about what Kami said ea
Foxy And Her Guardian 19: The Lies She Lived
Mateo has immensely respected Aldo all his life, but right now if he was around, Mateo might have lost his cool. The way Faith is reacting is the exact reason why Mate didn’t want to do this. He didn’t mind putting bullets in those men’s heads to protect her. He will not mind doing it again. That is not a difficult task for a man like Mateo, but dealing with Faith’s outburst is. He doesn’t know how to console, how to break a news to someone, or how to lay a piece of news gently. This is why he wanted to take her to Aldo, but that bastard went missing before he could take her to him – leaving Mateo to deal with her. Mateo has never been hit by a person in a very long time. Since he has been in control of his businesses, no one has ever dared to even glare at him, let alone hit him. But since Faith stepped into his life, he has been slapped by this woman three times. If it was anyone else, Mateo would have broken their wrists for even raising their hands at him, but his hands are tied
Foxy And Her Guardian 20: To Put Fear In Her
“Mateo, I am so sorry. Benji – uh – he – I,” Piper’s apprehensive voice was the first thing Faith heard when she woke up, following Mateo’s detached, “It is fine. You should go and see how he is doing now. It is still raining. I am here with Faith,” He added. Faith was fully awake, but she didn’t open her eyes. She was feeling immensely guilty and embarrassed for the troubles she has been making for Mateo and Piper. She remembers everything that she did. Her stomach twist into knots as she realized she could have died. She was so easily ready to give up on her life, if it wasn’t for Mateo – her lifeless body would have been floating in the pool by now. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought. “Mateo, again, I am so sorry. I should not have brought him here with me, I am sorry.” The more Piper apologize, the more remorseful Faith feels. She heard Mateo sighing, “It is fine, Piper. You should go now. I will talk to you later,” He said, leaving no room for Piper to argue. Faith was
Foxy And Her Guardian 21: Tipsy Infatuation
“Why is there a bar in every place you go? You have one in your office. I am sure you must have one at your house as well. Also, every time I see you, you have a drink in your hand.” Faith commented as she look through the small collection of alcohol behind the bar. Her finger traced along the marble counter. She heaved a sigh and turned around to look at Mateo, who still stood by the door, but unlike before the door was closed now. “Not to forget you own a club. Are you sure you don’t have a drinking problem?” She asked – tilting her head. Mateo couldn't understand how she is the same woman who was trembling under his gun just a couple of hours ago, and now she stood in his room – uninvited – lecturing him about her perspective on his drinking problem. “Are you Captain Jack Sparrow of the mafia world?” She mocked him. Mateo has never used the words mafia when he talked about Aldo or himself, but Faith picked on him. She knows what organized criminals are usually called. If Mateo does
Foxy And Her Guardian 22: The Enemies And The Allies
“There is a dead body in the alley,” Ethan spoke astonishingly. Levi glanced at him as he gets in the car with a bag of frozen peas in his hand. He heaved a sigh and closed the car’s door behind him. Levi nodded his head, “Yes, don’t worry about it. My men will get rid of it,” He told Ethan before passing him the bag of frozen peas, “Here, put it on your cheek. It will help with the swelling.” He asked Ethan, who didn’t move. Ethan’s eyes were still widened. The glass of his spectacles was cracked from the side. Even when Levi helped him whip the blood off his face, there was still a trace of pink on Ethan’s pale skin. He was still shaken. It wasn’t easy for him to come out of the shock of his life. There was a man there to kill him, and he saw his brain spew out of his head after Levi shot him in the head and now his body lies in the dumpster in the alley behind his sister’s café. Nothing made sense to him. Levi pinched the bridge of his nose, “This is going to be a long night,” He
Foxy And Her Guardian 23: Nora
Faith couldn’t stop thinking about what Mateo said after he, Piper, and Benji left for the city. She sat by the pool alone. “Because history suggests they cannot be trusted,” Faith repeated Mateo’s words as she pulled her eyebrows together and tilt her head.Her head has been wrapped around so many reservations. To begin with, if Mateo also believes that the Ricci family cannot be trusted, then does this gives Faith a reason to not trust his words either? After all, he is Mateo Ricci. Although, he doesn’t use his family name. That made her think, did he change his last name because he doesn’t want to be associated with his family?She wondered what happened in the past that forbids the Ricci clan to lead the alliance? If they betrayed the Bianchi clan, then why are they still a part of the alliance? She pondered on how Mateo feels about belonging to the subordinated clan, and how the people of the Bianchi clan see him? She wondered if the person that was in love with Zeta also belonge
