2024-10-29 19:42:56There are things that no matter how hard we try to avoid still it will happen. I was unaware that I've been playing death since the beginning that Vicenzo set his eyes on me, the moment I accept his hand for a handshake is the moment I start to skate on the thin ice.
I was clueless about it, I set aside my fear of marrying him and acted as if nothing has changed. But when the reality of life slapped me with the life that I already had as Vicenzo's wife, fear suddenly becomes visible in my eyes. But it's too late for me to step back with the choice I made because I found something from Vicenzo that makes me stay no matter what the circumstances are.
I just didn't know that it could be this hard...
"Where's the woman?" I heard a stern voice that made me gulp with fear.
I can't see anything. My eyes are covered with this rough cloth, in short, they blindfolded me. My both hands are also tied to my back. I'm sitting on this steel chair that always creates an

"No... no... you're lying" I conceal my muffle cries "Saint will never kill innocent, he will never do that" I mumble.Instead of saying anything he just harshly grabs my hair and covers my eyes again. I struggle with his grip but he's way stronger. He said something using a foreign language before I heard the door open and slammed close afterward.I desperately move my hands and feet wanting to free myself, every time I do that, I felt something going deeper into my skin and it's so freaking painful. The chain on my body is slowly tightening too every time I move. I don't know why, but every time I try to resist the chain is squeezing me tightly making me catch my breath."Ahhhh!" I helplessly groan in pain.Instantly, my body went weak when I stop moving. My breathing becomes too short for me to breathe evenly and all I could do is to cry with my helpless situation.I know Saint is finding me already, I know that they will never stop until they r

"Get that woman away from here" Cipriss demanded."Are you really going to revenge your wife by killing someone like her?" I unbelievably ask him.He stops walking and looks at me in dead eyes. I can see, that he's taken aback because he couldn't open his mouth to speak. I know everyone has their own share of sorrow. I know I shouldn't judge him because I didn't know anything. I didn't know the pain he experience when he lost his wife, but I know how does it feel like to lost someone you really love.I do not want to invalidate his anger, his grief, and his mourning. But does it need to end like this? Do people need to commit the same mistake just to console their wounded hearts? I am not sure if it is valid, or if it is reasonable enough to kill someone like me."Do not mention my wife, ever again" he gritted his teeth.I press my lips together."How far are you willing to take just to avenge her death? Will you be in peace seeing someone d

They say, after the rain, there's a rainbow- but that's not what I feel right now. I open my eyes and the smell of antiseptic welcomes me together with the blinding light of the ceiling. My whole body is aching, my head is throbbing so bad, and my heavy lids are making my vision blurry. There is this excruciating pain on my back and on my side, the muscles on my legs are stiff and I feel so weak that I couldn't even move my fingers.W-Why is this happening to me?I squeeze my eyes close trying to recall everything that happens before I end up here. Jana... I talked to Jana, and then someone covers my mouth and I fell asleep- I don't know how long, I just woke up with my eyed covered with rough cloth and chained on the chair. I gasp for air when I felt a suffocating feeling, my tears start streaming down to my face remembering how they traumatized me. They undress me, splashed me with water, slapped me, grab my hair, and they didn't even let me eat nor drink water.

"LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?!" my father growl like a mad man.I flinch, shocked with his sudden outburst full of rage and madness. Even Mommy Adie was surprised with Daddy while Aliah on the other hand is sitting beside Gordon."Roman calm down, just think about your blood pressure" Mommy Adie whisper and shot a glare at me.I shook my head and took a deep breath."Let's talk calmly Dad," I lift my head and turn my gaze at him "We won't fix this misunderstanding if your mind is clouded with anger""This is not misunderstanding Svanna Rose!" He angrily exclaimed and snatch his arm away from Mommy Adie's grip "I rather locked you up in our house than to always visit you inside this fucking hospital! I'm not gonna attend a funeral ceremony for my daughter!" He hissed.I bit my lower lip and squeeze my eyes close. I understand his concern. Of course, I am his daughter- he's worried and he just wants me safe. I am glad that he can now show me my wo

"Saint," I greeted Vicenzo with a smile.He smile back at me and I notice the basket of flowers his holding. I was about to ask him and complain but Dad cleared his throat to get my attention which made me shifted back my gaze at him."I will go now, I can't stay longer because I still need to attend a lunch meeting" he seriously said and check his wristwatch.I nod my head and flash a small smile."Thank you for visiting me Dad,""This will be the last time I'll visit you in this place Svanna. There will be no next time" he firmly told me.My smile widened and nod my head."Yes Daddy, please be careful"He strictly look at me before he finally nod his head and walk towards the door not giving Vicenzo a single glance. I frown because of that and I slowly look at Saint with a sad smile on my face."I'm sorry about my father..." I whisper.He walk closer to me and sit on my bed."I will talk to him, don't wor

"How did Cypress know about me?" I query."Jana..." he whisper "She's a traitor. She's a spy from the council at first to make sure that I am following the deal and then suddenly she turn her back to Sovrano and give the information about you to Navarra brothers" he gritted his teeth and anger is now evident in his eyes.Navarra brothers are Cipriss Navarra and Cypher Navarra. They both died when Vicenzo ambushed the place. I don't know how, Vicenzo didn't specifically explain that part to me. He just told me that they are already dead. Cypress is no longer functioning because the both heirs to the throne is now dead."Why did she betray us?" I confusingly whisper.Jana seem so nice to me. Now I understand why she so easy to talk- because she's not just a maid. She's a spy from the Sovrano council. It only means that she's an assassin like Piato."I don't know," Vicenzo shrugged his shoulder and glance at me "Cypress plan is to expose you to everyo

I TOOK a deep breath and I smile while looking at Vicenzo. He's standing in the middle of the dance room wearing casual clothes- a simple plain white shirt and sweatpants. His hair is a bit messy and he looks funny right now with his creased forehead and serious face while staring at me.But despite with that, my husband is still handsome."Smile a little Saint" I urge him while stretching my ankle with my hands on my both waist."We should still be sleeping right now" he points out and crossed his arms over his chest.I giggle and stretch my neck. I'm practicing for the upcoming Giselle. I really wanted to be the lead dancer. I wanted to dance on the same stage that my mother dance being the prima ballerina."I want to be the lead dancer. Watch me okay?" I said."My eyes are always on you wife, don't need to remind me that," he said in a matter-of-fact tone.I smile "You don't want to work, and that's really odd," I notice.

"If I say I do, will you say I do too?"My lips parted as I look at Vicenzo with my teary-eyed. I don't know what to say, all I know is my emotions are over flowing right now. The sound of the shallow water is like a music to my ears now and the cool wind breeze is like a soothing symphony that makes the moment right now romantic while my husband is kneeling in front of me."Svanna Rose Zeneca-Santorini, to tell you the truth. I don't have much to offer to you. I thought, I can give you everything when I start to want you the moment I lay my eyes on you, but then, when I held you in my hands and cage you in my arms I realize that you deserve someone better than me. I realize that you deserve a man who will back you up without limits, a man who will let you grow without borders and a man who can offer you things that you wanted and needed the most. And I am just Vicenzo Santorini, the man who tricked your father just to make you mine but I still dare to want you" he sho

"Where did you go?"I lift my head and I saw Vicenzo looking at me seriously. His rugged face is screaming with annoyance. He doesn't look pleased and I know the reason why.But instead of being scared with his unwelcoming greeting, I walk fast towards him and hug him tightly. I felt him stilled and his body went rigid with our sudden contact. But later after I felt his arm wrap around my waist and possessively pulled me even more to him.He's sitting on the single couch while I'm sitting on the top of his lap facing him with my legs wide open. Our position is quite awkward but I don't really care, I feel bad because of what happen."Tell me what happen?" He whisper while caressing my back.I sniff and buried my face on his neck "I miss Mom..." I whisper.He sigh "That's why you sneak out?" He utter in a controlled tone of voice.I pulled away and face him. His brows furrowed when he saw the dry tears in my face but later on his face

"No..." I shake my head and close my eyes "No...this is not true. I am just hallucinating. This is not true" I mumble to myself and pulled my hair.There's no way my Mom is alive after all these years. I always visit her grave, I always visit her whenever I miss her. Whenever I felt like everything seems against me. Whenever I felt alone..."You are not hallucinating Chèrie," Gianni said behind me "Tita Vanda is alive. She's alive Svanna Rose. The reason why Tito Roman doesn't want you to visit her grave is because she was never been buried-""No!" I scream, shaking my head "Mom is dead! She's not my Mom!" I exclaimed crying while looking at the woman in front of me who look exactly like me."Tito Romano never visit her grave, it's because he know that Tita Vanda never die in the first place-""Stop it Gianni!" I cut him off, breathing heavily while my eyes is clouded with tears.I shook my head and step back. My heart is beating fast

Let's meet...I close my eyes and took a deep breath. Wearing a black longsleeve top and black gap fit leggings I sneak out to the backyard of the mansion. It took me almost ten minutes before I successfully climb the tall wall that surrounded the mansion. I actually make sure that Vicenzo men is done checking the area before I sneak out.I honestly don't know why do I need to sneak out. But then my instinct is telling me that Vicenzo will not let me if I ask him to meet Gianni knowing that Calcifer and Greco has a suspicion to my cousin.I'm stubborn, I know that. But I really need to do this. I don't understand what does he mean by his message. Mom is alive? And he doesn't want Vicenzo to be my husband? That's absurd! That's crazy.I sigh and fix my black cap before I run away, making sure that nobody notice my disappearance. I immediately call a cab and give the address to the driver who keep on glancing at me because of my weirdness. Oh yeah,

I am crying non-stop, I don't know what to do. Dra. Mhalia is trying to reach me out and talk to me but I couldn't open my mouth to speak back. The image of Piato being shot in his shot as he slowly fell on the floor keep on rolling back inside my head. It keep on replaying like a broken movie tape. It won't stop bugging me. I am guilty, scared, and anxious."Mrs. Santorini..." Dra. Mhalia whisper, wanting to get my attention.With weary eyes, I turn my gaze at her. She's sitting on the chair beside my bed wearing the same white lab gown. I sniff when she smile at me, as if she's telling me that everything is alright without uttering a word."W-Where's Vicenzo?" I stuttered.I'm the first one who break the sound of my soft cries. I brush off those dry tears in my face. Worries is very visible in my eyes and I couldn't hide it. How will I do that if I am eating my guilt. I am asking them what happen to Piato but none of them gave me an assuring answer. The

"I don't understand him..." I whisper when I get back inside the car.I felt Piato look at me through the rearview mirror but I just remain my gaze out of the window staring at Gianni who's still standing in front of my mother's tombstone facing us.I suddenly recall what Calcifer told me. He said Gianni didn't attend the last board meeting after his business trip in Russia. I don't exactly know what kind of business he went there, but Cal said that there is something odd with my cousin and he will figure it out and inform me.I took a deep breath and my phone suddenly rang. Without a second thought, I pull it out from my clutch bag. Vicenzo's name flashes on the screen so I immediately press the answer button, afraid that I might worry him."Where are you?" He asks in a low controlled tone of voice without greeting me.I bit my lower lip and hesitantly look at Piato who also looks nervous because of the sudden call."I'm on my way home now"

After spending a week on our honeymoon, everything turns back to normal. Daddy Victor and some of Vicenzo's cousins return to Italy. While Vicenzo on the other hand is now busy managing his company. He has loads of paper works to do, and I heard Greco is already complaining about those business proposals that have not been reviewed yet.But despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for me. He wakes up early than usual to prepare our breakfast- yes! He's like a house husband, he's the one who makes our breakfast. He even memorizes my diet plan. For the past few days, I really feel how Vicenzo exerts too much effort to become the husband that he promised to me.He's very patient with my schedule, Calcifer always makes fun of him calling him 'Mr. understanding husband' because of his sudden changes. Although he came home late, he was still able to wake up early the next day. He's not that grumpy as before, he is always gentle and calm now. But one thing that will ne

I softly moan when I felt the sunbeam kissed my face. I turn around facing my back to the window hiding my face on the pillow I'm hugging. I am still sleepy, and my body still can feel what happen last night.I felt my face flushed although I'm haft asleep. Remembering the intimate night with my husband makes me blush. It seems like my face heated on its own so I cover my face even more.But then I felt a strong arm rested on my waist and then the bed move. The smell of bath soap invades my nostrils when I felt something soft touch the side of my forehead. My nose should be irritated with the sudden scent but then, it smells so nice being whiffed by a scent of cool mint. My soreness seems like disappear, everything feels so good and warm now, when the arm pulled me, caging me into a tight embrace."Wake up now, sleepyhead" I heard Vicenzo whisper in my left ear using his hoarse voice.I moan softly again with that simple sweet gesture from him. He always
