"All I want is to be free."
Giovanni's POV
The nightmares came again and this time it was worst than the ones I had before. I had a vivid dream about the fire and a woman calling out to me but that was not all. The nightmares I had before melody came into my life were always about the fire and a woman whose face I couldn't see always shouted for my help but this dream was different, I get to see her face but she got shot right in front of me. A bullet pierced her heart and the red liquid gushing out of her heart flows towards me and before I knew it, I was burning and drowning in the pool of her blood. The woman screams for me to help but I couldn't because I was drowning and burning at the same time. Her screams jerked me out of my dream, I woke up sweating and panting hard. I rushed out of the bed, took the stairs down, and head into the kitchen.
I took two
"Everything is never enough!" Melody POV At first, I didn't return his hug but when I felt him pulling me closer I returned the hug. I let my arms encircled itself around his waist. His cologne filled my nose and I couldn't help but sniffed the fragrance."I'm sorry for realizing too late," I didn't know why he was apologizing but from what he said, he might have realized the truth."You know the truth?" I asked and he nodded. I quickly detached my arms around his waist and pushed his arm away. He groaned in pain and walked to the couch to take a seat. "Are you alright?" I asked and walked towards him. "Did I hurt you?" He shook his head. I sat down beside him and looked into his eyes. He stared back at me and smiled. I pretend to cough and looked away."Are you back to the office?""Yes. I need to tell you something."
"If love is a crime, I'm willing to be hunted." Giovanni POV "Why are you here?" I asked my mother as soon as melody left the office. "What do you want?" "Stop asking me questions son and listen to what I have to say." She begged and took a seat opposite me. "That's lady shouldn't be here. She is a bit of bad luck." I gave her a suspicious look but didn't say anything. "She needs to go. She doesn't belong here." She added. "Giovanni, you need to send her away." "What is your issue with her? If you know something mother, you better tell me before I find out myself." "Are you threatening me?" "I am not threatening you mother, I am warning you because you might not like the outcome once I find out the truth." "She needs to leave!" "Why?" When she didn't reply, I smil
"If we dwell too much on the past then we might never see the future." Giovanni POV "She survives but she hasn't shown sign of waking up yet, " the doctor's words keep resounding in my head over and over again as I drove out of the hospital."What's going to happen to her?" Lorena had asked the doctor. "The poison had been successfully flushed out of her sister but due to how poisonous it was, it affected one of her vital organs." Lorena burst into the tears at the doctor's announcement. "Please save her," she begged the doctor. I couldn't say anything as I watched as Lorena cried over her friend. All I could do was walk away like a coward. Dennis offered to drive me home but I rejected his offer and collected the keys from him. "I need you to stay with Melody and watch over her
"Just when I thought It will end, it all started again." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Giovanni POVIt's been two days. Melody had been hospitalized for two days with no sign of waking up. For those two days, I was miserable. I couldn't work like I used to. I had Anita take up melody's position temporarily until she wakes up. I also made sure that Lorena and Hope were guarded by securities appointed by Dennis. After the attack, Daniel introduced someone who could help investigate and catch the attacker. I needed to know why and who wanted melody and myself dead.If only I could regain my memories, I would be able to find out the real truth. I wanted to ask Lorenzo for help but I didn't trust him yet and he could be the attacker. I glanced at my wristwatch for the umpteenth time while waiting for the investigator Dennis hired. I've been in a cafe where we agreed to meet while D
"Karma is a bitch. It bites when you never expected." . Melody POVIt was dark. Too dark that I had no idea where I was. All I could feel was the cold of the night that sent shivers into my soul. It was too cold that I thought my heart was going to freeze."Is anyone out there?" I screamed for help. My voice echoed into the night. It was as if I was the only one in the world. While trying to create heat with my hands, I heard a car driving from afar.So I was on the street. The headlight shone its light at me and I saw it coming straight at me. It was a black car. When I tried to move out of its way, I was unable to. I was glued to that spot. I saw another car driving opposite and with the way the car swerved across the road, I knew something was going to happen. I was standing in between the cars and No matter how I tried to
"It was all a lie!!" Melody POVI was still shocked in the state I saw Giovanni. He looked pale like there was no life in him anymore. Lorena assured me that he was going to be fine but I needed to make sure he was okay so I waited at the entrance of the theatre room."You need to get back to bed!" Lorena advised. "You are going to get sick again if you keep up with this.""How long was I out!" I asked her."Two days," she replied.I groaned out in frustration when I realized that I was on that bed for two days. I wondered what happened for that two days. "I had a dream or maybe it was a memory.""Tell me about it," Lorena fixed my daughter in her arms and looked at me.I began to explain the dream and when I finished, Lorena heaved a sigh. "What was that for?" I as
"The past should remain in the past so the future won't be so far away." Lorenzo POV"It all started when I was five years ago," I began the story that I tried to bury deep in my heart but it kept resurfacing. "It was an afternoon, you were in school but I had stayed at home because I fell sick. Uncle Benjamin and Lucas had come to visit us that day. I was in my room sleeping that afternoon while I heard the news. It came from our parent's room."Twenty years ago, "I'm here to claim what truly belongs to me brother!" Uncle Benjamin shouted."You guys should keep it down. The kids will hear you!" I heard my mother beg. "Keep what down you whore!" My father accused her. "You are the cause of all of this. If you haven't whore around then this wouldn't have hap
"Forever is a long time." Melody POVI was ready to face my past but on getting to the two-storey orphanage home where I grew up, I found it hard to go inside.Was I ready to face my past? Was I ready to find out about my family? Those were the endless thoughts that filled my head as I stared up at the building but like always, Lorena encouraged me to overcome my fears."It's going to be okay, I'm always here." She assured me."What about me?" Hope pouted and I found it cute."We are always here," Lorena corrected herself. I smiled at both of them. I was happy I had them because I couldn't do without them. After Giovanni gave orders that I shouldn't come to the office, I spent three days recuperating and planning on how I was going to face my past."Let's go in,"
