My head hurts as I stare at my monitor's screen, I am reading the information of the man we found. He was once a janitor in the company of Giovanni. But he was fired because of being an informant from the other competing company. I nodded. The thing is some of his information is private. I want to know if he is connected to any groups. I have a strong feeling that he is a member of a certain group. It is past three in the morning, and I can't fall asleep yet but I need to sleep. So, I stand up and carry my laptop. I close the door. Giovanni is still sleeping and I yawned. He moved so I look at him, and he is like having nightmares. I went to his side to get the jar in his hand. "Stay away from me!" he shouted, so I was startled. He open his eyes quickly and formed his fists ready to fight. "Hold on, Giovanni! I am Thalia!" I said to him. His breathing became slow, and his eyes calmed down. "I thought you're an enemy," he said. "I will become your enemy once you broke the small ja
Giovanni is smiling nervously to me as I look at him directly into his eyes. "Hey, Mom!" he greeted his mother and kissed her cheeks. He pinched his daughter's cheeks. "Hello, to my beautiful baby girl," he said. While on the other hand, his father is laughing at him. "How's work, Giovanni?" he asked his son. "Father, with all due respect, kindly remove Mr. De los Frias on the list of investors?" he said and sounded like he was stressed. His father creased his forehead and turn into serious mode. "Why? What happened?" he asked. Giovanni loosened his neck tie. "He's a pain in the ass. He keeps on asking for the whole detailed of the investments when we gave him enough," he complained. "That's what a businessman does, Giovanni. He's an investor in our company therefore, introduced me to him and I'll be the one to face him," his father said and he looks like relieved. "Thank you, Father!" he said. I arched my eyebrow when he walked towards me. "Hello, to my beautiful wife," he said
I was startled when I saw Freya standing in front of our room, Giovanni woke up earlier than me and he went to his office already. “Good morning, Mrs. Brickser,” she greeted me and I nodded at her. “Same here. Just call me Thalia,” I told her and her eyes were shining. “Okay, Thalia!” she said and I nodded. She moved when I got out of the room. “Where’s Giovanna?” I asked her. I am still worried and do not trust her because I haven’t received any information from Silver. “She’s still sleeping, Thalia. I came here because Sir Giovanni asked me to ask you if you need anything," she said and I nodded. "Just be with Giovanna, that’s all I need. I can manage myself,” I firmly said. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. I took a step towards Giovanna’s room. I found my daughter sleeping peacefully on the top of the bed with pillows around her. I kissed her forehead and fixed her blanket. “Sshhh...” I said as I patted her small and cute thigh because she moved a little bit. I found
I left my daughter in Freya’s care for a while because I need to submit the report I reviewed and if it is approved by the CEO, they will push through the budget for the new project. I went inside the elevator and fixed myself with the help of the elevator’s mirror. My hair is in a tight and sleek ponytail. The elevator opened and I went outside, my heels were creating a sound on the tiled floor. “Good morning, Mrs Brickser,” his secretary greeted me. I nodded with a smile to him. “Ma’am, the CEO strictly commanded that he shouldn’t be disturbed at this moment,” he said to me and my eyebrows cocked. “Why? Is he in a private meeting?” I asked him curiously. Giovanni only issues this kind of situation when there’s an important meeting or he doesn’t want to be disturbed at all. I walked towards the waiting area, it is beside the secretary’s table. “Actually...there was a woman who came and they are currently talking Ma’am,” he answered. My brows furrowed in curiosity. Who is she? I st
I walked towards the hallway, and I met Silver. “Hello, Thalia. Does your husband have a plan on eating his dinner?” he asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders. “Ask him,” I replied. He was surprised but didn’t speak. At least he knew how to read the atmosphere. I went straight to my daughter’s room, and she was drinking her milk. “I will sleep here tonight, Freya,” I told her, and she nodded. “I’ll sleep on the sofa,” she told me. I went to Giovanna and kissed her cheek. “Mommy will sleep beside you tonight,” I happily informed her. Freya didn’t ask why I was sleeping here, and that’s what I am thankful for. At midnight, I unexpectedly felt thirsty for water, and there was no pitcher or bottled water. I don’t have a choice but to go into the kitchen to get water to drink. I carefully walked so I wouldn’t disturb their sleep. The lights were dimmed. That’s why I do not worry about being tripped off somewhere. I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard two people talking. Giovanni
My whole body calmed down when I finished bathing in warm water, I felt relaxed. I decided to clean our room because I haven’t cleaned it, someone is maintaining the cleanliness of this house but I do not allow someone to intrude on our room. This is our safest place and I do not allow anyone to enter it aside from us. I started changing our curtains, bedsheets, and pillowcases. I know this type of housework because I live alone and I do every household chore. While cleaning under our bed, a picture caught my attention and due to my curiosity, I got it. My body went cold my throat constricted and my mind went blank. It’s a photo of him and his ex-fiancé whom I thought died. My fist formed into close tight. I am not going to tear this photo instead I will show it him what I have found. I finished cleaning the room and I poured everything into it that’s why it turned out clean and maintained. I took a deep sigh as I felt my exhaustion from it. I am sitting on a bean bag that I bought
Freya handed me my phone which was currently ringing because Giovanni was calling me. I rolled my eyes before answering him.“Where.are.you?” he asked firmly. I gulped because the type of his voice sounded like he was not having any fun. “We’re in the children’s park in the village,” I answered him and didn’t mind his voice although it wavered me for a while. “Hansel said you are not in the house. Thalia, if you are going somewhere, I beg you, notify me. You are giving me a heart attack,” he said and I rolled my eyes. “Stop being a dramatic king, Giovanni. We are not going somewhere far from the house,” I told him and I scratched my forehead.Alexandra, his son, my daughter, and Freya are watching me. “It doesn’t matter if I sounded like a drama king to you. I am worried as fuck when I learned you are not in the house, Thalia. I thought you left me,” he said and his voice was low in the last words although I understand it. “That’s not going to happen, Giovanni. If my family saw me a
My eyebrow arched when I saw Leighrandra entering the office of Giovanni, I was here to wait for him to finish his meeting because I had something to talk about with him but this woman arrived. “I thought you were banned from entering this building,” I said to her and she nodded.“Giovanni allowed me to,” she answered and a surge of anger rose for Giovanni. “But don’t misinterpret it because I begged him to allow to you personally and being inside this building will protect us both,” she said. “I don’t know about this but have a seat,” I said and motioned my hand to the position she will sit. “Do you want to drink or something?” I offered her and she shook her head. I watched her fidget with her fingers and I did not do anything but to watch her. She took a breath multiple times. “What is your purpose of coming here, Leighrandra? I thought we were clear from each other last time that I do not want to see your face or even your shadow, right?” I asked her and she nodded.“I truly unde
