"You are guarded anywhere you go," Gianni said in a low calm voice but displease is evident in his tone while roaming his eyes around.I did what he did and I force myself to smile seeing those men in black standing on every corner of the house. As usual, they all look like a statue. Not moving, not talking, and no specific emotions on their faces. Although I'm living in this house for a long time, still I can't get used to their presence. There are too many people here, you know."They are for security purposes, Gian," I told him and I smile at Jana when I saw her approach while holding a two cup of coffee.I wasn't expecting him to come this early. He was hesitant yesterday when I ask him and I was so surprised to see him today. Vicenzo left early, we didn't talk much this morning but he agrees about Gianni visiting me this day. He even suggests that I could call some of my friends for me not to get bored. He said that he'll be home late because of his unfinis

"Where are we going?" I asked Vicenzo who's driving the car silently with his focus on the road.I'm looking out of the window curious about this unknown place I'm seeing right now. We are already far from the city and I am not expecting it knowing how paranoid Vicenzo is these past few days."Why? Are you bored already?" He asks instead of answering me.I turn my gaze on him and tilt my head while watching his serious face. I didn't know that we could be like this. This is far from what I expected. Knowing Vicenzo for the first time and judging him by his unwelcoming facade."I'm not bored" I paused and rested my back on the door beside me "I'm just curious, you've been driving for almost two hours now" I stated "Aren't you tired?" I query.I don't know if there is a bodyguard who's following us."Do you know how to drive a car?" He inquires and briefly glances at me flashing his coy smile.I pursed my lips with his remark "We should

Today was so tiring that I almost forgot to eat. Vicenzo is not home yet, probably he's still busy and has a lot of things to do in the office. He didn't phone though...I walk downstairs and I tilt my head when I didn't saw any maids roaming around. I lift my head to check the time and I bit my lower lip seeing that it's already past bedtime. Did I sleep that long? I shrugged that thought and just continue walking towards the dining room. I glance at the two men in black who are standing in the doorway towards the garden before I head to the kitchen and prepare food.I was contemplating inside my head what should I do. Should I cook for myself? Well, I know how to cook a little. Or maybe I should just eat a sandwich and vegetable salad. My lips stretch into a smile upon realizing the latter. Sandwich and vegetable salad will do.I used to have Yaya Adelphi with me, I never had a hard time choosing what to eat because she always makes sure to kept food for me wh

"Svanna Rose!" He growls loudly "Are you turning your back to me now?"I stop walking and I fisted my hand. I pressed my lips together and turn around to face him. His menacing stare is intimidating giving me a disappointed look. As always, I'm always a disappointment for him."I never turn my back on you Dad" I hissed "In fact, you're the one who turns your back on me. When Mommy died, you left me too"I tried my best not to cry. I can feel their eyes on me especially when my father walks towards my directi9k direction seriously looking at me with mixed up emotions."You hate me? Is that why you're using your husband now against me?" He accusingly utter.Confuse plastered on my face. I'm using my husband? I'm using Vicenzo against him? When did I do that?"What is this again Dad?" I unbelievably told him."Don't act as if you don't know Anna" Aliah intervene which made me look at her.She's looking at me just like how she look

I once read that death is inevitable and people must try to die well. It was said that the greatest certainty in life is death and the greatest uncertainty is time, and it was true. I believe that death is inevitable but I didn't expect that I would die at this age, at this moment, at this time. I thought I could die well and happy, but time is indeed unpredictable. It always ruined your plans, the future that you picture out inside your head. One moment, you feel like everything is under your control, that you could do everything that you wanted. But then time snatch you that confidence just like a thief who robs you in the night. And you just realize that you are not in control of everything. You realize that life doesn't revolve around you, it doesn't revolve in your choices or decisions but your fate.If my fate is to die right now, then maybe I should just accept it."Wife! Damn it wife! You need to wake up, please baby..."I tried to open my eyes whe
