Chapter 35 : Wondering
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Morning came just like a blink of an eye. I didn't sleep well because everytime I tried to close my eyes, the image of myself sitting on the backseat of the car start to flash on my mind and what's more terrifying is the sound of gunshots that keeps on repeating inside my head.
I sigh in distress while eyeing myself in the mirror. I just finished taking a bath and I'm now changing my clothes because I need to attend my ballet class for today.
"Svanna" I flinch
And immediately pulled the zipper on the back of my jean short as I heard Vicenzo's footfalls towards me.
"Let me help you" he said in deep baritone voice when he stop behind me.
I awkwardly smile to him and nod my head letting him do it while I'm watching through his reflection on the mirror.
My mind wonder. Where is he last night? Did he sleep on his office? Or he sleep somewhere else?
"How are you feeling?" He ask me and look at me through the mirror.

'I'll die if I tell you'Who will kill her? Vicenzo? That's impossible.I heaved a sigh while staring outside the car window. The sky is dark and gloomy and afraid that it might going to rain soon and that's really odd because the sun was bright and shining yesterday.Dark clouds cover the night sky, there is also no star that sparkling and twinkling under the light from the moon and that's quite disappointing. With my chaos mind right now, it would be nice to stare the sky full of stars to ease my mind.But on the second thought, I wonder if Aliah is serious, or she is just exaggerating it? I bit the inside of my mouth tilting my head and tap my fingers on the car window pulling myself back to the moment I first saw Vicenzo.I admit it, I describe him harshly. I was scared with him because of his intimidating look and unwelcoming facial expression. He's not a typical businessman with a serious personality because he's way rougher and more antagoni

"Okay, let's start this day using the ballet barre" Miss Gisella upon opening the door while clapping her hand.Immediately, we position ourselves to the barre. I am facing Jameson while Aliah is on my back facing another ballerina that I don't remember the name.I'm not good at remembering names because I'm not really that friendly. The only reason why I remember Jameson's name is because I experienced practicing with him when I played the Odile role. I was just new here in Zeneca Ballet after all and it's reasonable enough if I can't memorize all their names."So the posture is really necessary, it's a very redundant reminder. Now do the first position while holding the barre" Miss Gisella instruct which we oblige.I position my feet properly aiming the proper posture of my toes straightening my spine and head.

"No more buts. Just stay still and shut up" he strictly demanded with his head back to my shoulder.But I bent down my head to the side to look at his face. And I was transfixed seeing how amazing he looked like up close with his rugged face. "Are you mad?""No" he quickly replied as if he's already expecting me to ask that. "I should be mad right now, you slapped into my face that you wanted an annulment flower. But you see? I'm not shouting nor trying to hurt you"He's holding it back.

Did Gordon tell him that I'm going to meet Gian?I was about to advance a step towards him despite my stiffened posture when suddenly Gianni grab my arm forbidding me to take even just a single step that made me turn my head on him.Puzzled with what he did.

"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.

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"

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.
