Foxy And Her Guardian 42: To Deceive In The Name Of Love
“Did you hear anything from Aldo?” Faith asked Mateo as they sit in his office at his penthouse. He recently returned from work/club and asked Faith to join him in his office. He asked Steven to look into the number that Howard called daily before he died, and he got the result, but before Mateo could bring it up, Faith asked him about Aldo. Mateo heaved a sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose, “No,” He replied as he took off his black jacket and put it behind his chair. He was wearing a typical white button-up shirt under it. He uncuffed the sleeves and rolled them up. He seems like he was back from an important meeting. Faith didn’t ask where he was, instead she just wordlessly noticed how frustrated he looked when she mentioned Aldo. “It is like he vanished from the face of the earth,” He muttered under his breath. “Anyway,” He shook his head and turned to look at Faith, who was sitting on the grey L-shaped couch in the corner of his office. She was wearing a yellow blouse and
Foxy And Her Guardian 43: Death is a Choice
(Trigger Warning! Mention of Violence/Torture)Faith asked Levi and Mateo to her some alone time with Ethan, who was already chained up to the painfully small chair. Since he was not in any position to harm Faith, the two men walked out – leaving Faith alone with Ethan, who was barely awake. Faith felt a shiver running down her spine when she saw Ethan. Her eyes filled with tears when she recalled his innocent face that always had a smile on it. It was not covered with bruises, cuts, and blood. His hands were chained behind the chair, while his legs were chained to the legs of the chair. Faith flinched at the state he was in. He was completely hosed down from head to toe. She realized that Mateo and Levi’s form of torture isn’t just physical. Levi hasn’t let Ethan sleep for the last twenty-four hours. Therefore, he looked like he was about to pass out. He could barely keep his eyes open. Whenever his eyes drop, Levi or someone from his men wakes Ethan up by hosing him down with cold
Foxy And Her Guardian 44: Rejection And Deception
“Who was their target this time? Me or you? If it was me, then they clearly sent someone new after me. Or is it even the same person that sent Ethan?! What if it is someone new?!” Faith is completely panic-stricken since they came back to Mateo’s penthouse securely. If the car wasn’t bulletproof and if Mateo didn’t drive like a madman and was able to dodge them, Faith would have been dead – or perhaps both of them would have died.Faith is shaken. It is the third attack on her since she came to Mateo. They have been back to the penthouse for almost an hour, but she still hasn’t been able to calm herself down. Her heart is still racing in her chest. Her palms are clammy. And her head has started to throb. She strolled back and forth in the living room with her eyes burning with tears. She ran her fingers through her hair. She is overwrought, and Mateo can see that. Mateo put one hand on his hip while with the other one he scratched his forehead, “If could be anyone. It is time you sto
Foxy And Her Guardian 45: The Tale of Betrayal
In the eye of the world, the Bianchi and Ricci families were friends and business partners. The alliance between the two families enjoyed the monopoly of the market for almost a century. For the world, they were inseparable but as the generation succeed, the greed to enjoy the sole monopoly rot the relationship between the two clans – still in the eyes of the world, they pretended to be one unit, whereas behind the curtain the families schemed to take one another down. Their disapprobation for each other was never apparent – not even to each other’s faces or in private. Both families hold a sweet knife at each other’s throats. (A/N: Sweet knife is used as an idiom in some cultures. It roughly translates to sugarcoat the deception.)The beef between the families intensified when Aldo Bianchi and Aurora Ricci (Mateo and Dante’s mother) came into power. Mateo’s father was killed before he could take his father and grandfather’s place as the head of the family, which the Ricci family blam
Foxy And Her Guardian 46: Always Around
“Flashback (2 Years Ago)”It was a simpler time for Faith. She had a pretty average life two years ago. She was going to college. She had her family around. She had her friends. She just started working and started becoming more financially independent. She was prioritizing her future. She was doing everything a twenty-year-old does. What she didn’t know was that something else was being prepared for her future. She didn’t know how catastrophic everything was going to become in just two years. People were already keeping an eye on her. They were stewing the worse possible future for her, and one of those people was no one other than Mateo. “Urgh, Mr. Lopez is going to give me grey hair! I can’t keep up with his assignments anymore!” Lara, one of Faith’s university mates, complained. Faith chuckled and playfully hit Lara on the back of her head with her book. “Be thankful, at least he does negative mark your projects unlike Mrs. Wilson – urgh!” Faith rolled her eyes. Lara chuckled,
Foxy And Her Guardian 47: Kisses of Fire
Any normal human, who is meeting their long-lost sibling for the first, would start with questions such as; How was your childhood? What have you studied? What do you do? How was your relationship with your other siblings and parents? But what is normal about Faith’s life that she gets to ask such mediocre and bonding questions to her elder brother? Nothing…Instead, Faith had other questions, which would petrify any ordinary person – such as: What does the Bianchi family does? What is the story of Zeta and Dante? Who does Kai think is trying to kill Faith? Why is Mateo not trusted by Kai? How well does Kai know Mateo? Where is Aldo hiding? Is he even alive? Who sent Ethan after her? And everything about murders, betrayal, revenge, and crimes. Never did she think, her life would revolve around the factor that she hates the most – violence. Faith slowly blinked as she looked out of the window wall – her eyes fixed on the orange sky. It has been hours since Faith came to see Kai. The n
Foxy And Her Guardian 48: Turbulent Warmth
Faith let out a gasp as Mateo pulled her closer to him. Her body flushed against his. She is wearing an old loose t-shirt with cotton shorts underneath it, while Mateo was dressed in a plain white shirt that fitted perfectly on his body with grey sweatpants. Both of them were dressed to sleep. Mateo’s hand clutched the fabric of her shirt from behind – tugging it along with him, while Faith had one of her hand on the nape of his neck while the other one was on his back – her fingers dug into his back. Mateo tugged her lower lip in between his teeth making her shudder in his hold. Faith pushed herself closer to him. She didn’t think her first kiss with Mateo would be so intense, not that she minded. She didn’t know what went through his mind to show up at her door after midnight and kiss her like this, but she isn’t complaining. Mateo tastes like mint and whiskey. She finds this odd combination alluring for some reason. Mateo once again pulled her to his even when there was no space
Foxy And Her Guardian 49: The Start of a War
“Are you okay, Faith?” Steven gently asked. Faith swallowed the lump in her throat, “No,” She whispered. How could she be okay after what information Steven just got for her? She was surprised when Kai informed Faith that Mateo’s assistant is here to see her. She remembers Mateo mentioning him when she asked him to look into her father’s phone records. She didn’t think Mateo will go through it now that he banished her from his life, but here is his assistant – giving her the most absurd news she could ever receive. Ethan is her father’s son. How is that possible? How could it be? She wasn’t willing to accept it, and she wouldn’t have if Steven didn’t come with all the proofs. Ethan’s birth certificate had Howard’s name as his father, not just that there was a paternity test that proved that Ethan is Howard’s son. Faith didn’t think she would get more shocks in her life, but she was wrong. And this one just shook her to her very core. Steven fixed his glasses by pushing them by the
