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
Late at night I am sitting in the gazebo watching the dark skies and breathing the cold wind of September. The wind brushing on the trees that turn into orange as autumn season enters. I yawned as I felt my eyes are getting heavier so I decided to go inside. “Ma’am, there’s a parcel for you,” one of our security guards reached to me when I was inside the house. Giovanni is reading some documents with his eyeglasses. Freya is walking to the stairs with Giovanna in her arms. “What is that?” Giovanni asked. “I don’t know,” I answered. I sat down beside him as I opened the brown box with a bubble wrap. There are no details of the sender. “I suspect that this parcel is a threat,” I commented and Giovanni put his documents on the coffee table in front of us.He was the one who opened the box and I winced at the sight inside of the box. “What the fuck?” he asked as he picks the white bond paper with blood splattered on it. “It’s disgusting,” I said. “I will bring this to the team and they
Penny is in the headquarter with us as I massage my forehead. “I don’t think I’ll be able to go to work later and the following days,” I told her and she took a deep breath. “I will cover you, Thalia,” she assured and I nodded with her.She’s staying here and she’s one of the assassins in the group. We are inside Giovanni’s office while waiting for the result of the DNA. “What exactly happened, Thalia?” she asked me. I looked at her and seat properly. “Well, it all started on someone sent me a parcel with blood on it and while we are on our way here, someone followed us,” I answered.She nodded as she clenched her jaw. “Where the bastards who followed you?” she asked and stood up. She looks like she’s going to kill them in a minute. “They are on the underground. Anyway, where did Giovanni go?” I asked her.“They went somewhere and he asked me to take care of you here,” she answered. I nodded and stood up. I fixed my long black hair and put on my bloody red lipstick. “Ooh where are you
