However, Vincenzo hasn't made any effort to leave Freya's side. This is the second day and she hasn't made any sign. Though he was worried, he recalled the doctor's words... "Hopefully, let's give her two to three days to see how every thing turns out."Every morning, he keeps changing the flowers in Freya's room, enticing the room with its fragmented smell. He got a phone call from his assistant who said the call was an urgent one. He refused to tell it to him on call, insisting the situation at the moment was a critical one and needed to be discussed face to face.Hearing how important the situation is, Vincenzo left the room after a long stare at Freya. He drove down the road to the warehouse, but to his disappointment, the urgent case was Kelly.Kelly had forced his assistant to fake a report, making it sound so urgent since that was the only way to get Vincenzo out of the hospital. Angered he grabbed his assistant by the neck. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you th
"Well, Olsen wants me to pick you up since he won't be able to do so himself." He said, putting much effort to avoid her finding out Olsen is dead."Olsen can never let you pick me up. After all, you two haven't been on good terms lately.""Won't doubt that. But you know, people change. We don't always remain the same forever.""He killed my boyfriend." This got Vincenzo hurt. He never knew she would even till this moment consider Dento her boyfriend, not forgetting to out the 'ex""Well, Olsen came over and cleared his actions. I had to forgive him, after all, killing him won't bring my cousin back. So, we're cool now."Freya stared at him with doubts in her eyes. "I don't believe you.""You don't have to. Besides, we all mafias have bad records, we don't let bygones be bygones. We kill for revenge, but don't worry, not every one's the same. People change often.""I still don't trust you, Mr. I ain't going any where with you if it isn't Olsen who picks me up." She insisted.Vincenzo
"I need your help." Vincenzo said, his eyes boring deep into Myra's, more like he was pleading for her assistance towards Freya."Any thing, sir. I can do any thing for you." Myra pledged to do whatever he wanted her to do."I need you to keep an eye on Freya for me. Though she might look healthy but... she isn't. And just in case she asks you about Olsen, don't tell her he is dead." She opened her eyes, wanting an explanation for that. "She doesn't remember about his death, so for the meantime we shouldn't have it talked about until she heals."Now understanding where he was heading to, she nodded her head. "Now I understand, I'll do all I can to be there for her and I will never engage in a conversation that has to do with her brother.""Thank you so much. I know I can trust you in this.""Freya is my best friend, I will risk every thing just to see she is alright.""Again..." He made a pause, as if to say he was finding it quite difficult to ultar the next words. "About Kelly..." M
When Vincenzo returned home that night, the first thing he did was to check on Freya. When he got to the door, Myra was just leaving with the plates Freya had used to eat."How is she?" He asked."She's fine. I think she's getting along with her new life."Vincenzo nodded his head with a heavy sigh. "Thank you.""You're welcome, sir."As she was about to leave, Kelly showed up from nowhere. "Just returning from work and all you have to do is check up on her while your girlfriend is bent on worrying about you."Myra wasn't in the mood to listen to her boring conversation, "I'll leave you two to be." she quickly excused herself."What's your problem tonight, Kelly?" He questioned. He was already tired of her nasty attitude."My problem is you, Enzo. You are my problem. How can you have me and you're checking up on another woman who has nothing to do with us.""That woman is in that condition because of me. I brought her into that fate.""No, Enzo, it's all her fault she had the accident
Two days successfully passed by, even though Myra has always been at her service, Freya can't help but think about Vincenzo with each passing moment. Despite how hard she tries to get him off her head, his face keeps displaying all the time. Every one of her thoughts is always about him. She was beginning to realize how much she misses him.She wasn't intending to act the way she did two days ago, on the other hand, she wasn't expecting he would react this way to her. She didn't imagine him keeping to his words after saying that. Now she misses him so much, she doesn't know how to explain it to her friend without having her yelling at her.However, she has been practicing on how to walk. First, lifting herself up from the wheelchair with Myra's help, now she's been doing it herself all the time. But, she was still finding it quite difficult until this morning, she finally lifted herself up.She smiled in victory, knowing within herself step one has successfully been accomplished. Now,
Vincenzo walked into Freya's room. He leaned against the wall, looking at her. He was quiet and the expression on his face wasn't encouraging at all. Freya wonders why he was quiet and has refused to say a word.She decided to ask, maybe with that she can get him to talk. "What's wrong, Enzo? Why are you dull and quiet?""It's nothing. I was just going to tell you that I won't be in the state for a while." He broke the news to her.Freya's heart stopped beating for a moment, it was heartbreaking news to her. Why so soon? Why does it have to be now they're getting to know each other?Though she tries to hide her feelings, Vincenzo reading her emotions knew she was hiding how sad she was.He asked her if she wanted him to stay and he was fully ready to cancel his flight for her sake. But Freya, despite being sad, she told him to go and not to stay back because of her."You can't just cancel your flight because of me. Whatever reason it is you are leaving, you should do it. I'll be fine.
He sent Myra to assist her with changing into a new clothes while he left for his room to get dressed too. He was done before Freya had worn her clothes. Girl's dressing aren't like guys who would probably spend five minutes to get every thing done.Though he didn't tell her where they were going to, and when she asked him, he refused to talk, he wanted it to be a surprise."It's a surprise, let's keep it that way." He smiled after he had said that, leaving Freya more curious than she already is.They finally got to the most popular restaurant in the state and Freya was ashamed of herself. Other men walked in with their abled girlfriends, lovers or spouse whichever one, but on her side, Vincenzo was walking in with a disabled lady like her.She only didn't want to feel inferior, she didn't want to reduce Vincenzo's reputation since he was a well known man."No, Enzo, I don't think I can go in there with you." She refused."Why?""Because I don't deserve to. Take a look at the others,
As Vincenzo's departure date approached, he still had this feeling of staying back but remembering Freya had wanted this too, he knew he had to go. If not for himself, but for her. Before leaving for the airport, he decided to see Freya and say goodbye to her, the girl who had stolen his heart. It was an emotional challenge he had to face. As he knocked softly on her door, he couldn't wait to see her face once again. It's more like seeing her face played a role in his life, like a renewed reconstruction has been made in his heart.Freya wheeled her chair to the door since Myra wasn't with her at the moment. She opened the door with a smile that could light up the darkest of rooms. Vincenzo's throat tightened with emotion, making it difficult to utter the words he so desperately wanted to say. But he composed himself and looked into her eyes, reassuring her that he would be back soon."I promise you, Freya," Vincenzo began, his voice sincere, "I will return as soon as possible. This
