2024-10-29 19:42:56I fell into the floor with my legs shaking. My lips quiver and my tears start to well out from my eyes.
"I... I h-heard them wrong..." I sobs and cover my face with both of my hands.
Their loud conversation in the hallway turns into a whisper of voices that I'm refusing to listen.
No... Dad is wrong, he was just mistaken. I can clearly remember those times when Mom used to tell me their love story. It was magical, dramatic and full of dreams. Dad is a tough and decisive CEO who wants to be on the top of everything and Mom was a fragile woman who dreams to dance in the middle of the spotlight. They were both carried by their dreams to each others arm. They were both in love that's why they get married. They face a lot of struggles but they both conquer it together. That's what they told me... or maybe that's what they wanted me to believe?
I wrap my arms around my body curling my legs up letting my face burried between my knees. I'm hesitating to move, I'm

"Wife..." he called me in soothing voice but I just shook my head and smile bitterly."I thought Mommy Adeline was the villain- that she made Dad commit adultery and made Dad turn his back on his vows" I puckered my lips and trace my fingers on my Mom's name that was engraved on the tombstone "But it was us all along. It was Mom, it was me. We ruined their supposed family. We ruined Dad's happiness..." I sigh.There I said it... Everything is clear to me now. I just really need to meet my mother for me to think clearly. It would be biased judgement if I won't consider Dad, Mommy Adeline and Aliah. If I would just focused on what I would feel and what Mom's feel about all of these, it would be unfair for them.I licked my lower lip and then I hug my legs. The wind against the bare skin of my face is somehow comforting and Vicenzo beside me is enough for me to feel at ease. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to give him a little trust for me to feel less anxious, less ner

My mouth gape in awe when the car stop. I immediately unfasten my seatbelt and open the door beside me and step out excitedly. My eyes glimmer with amusement seeing the sun light that hits the clear blue ocean creating this crystal lights that glittering like a small beads of diamonds.The bright sunny weather complement the sun-kissed shore, the sound of small ocean waves are like music in my ears making me smile."So this is what it looks like..." I mumble under my breath referring to the beach.Standing under the huge leafy tree while enjoying the ocean strong warm wind, I felt Vicenzo stood beside me. Smilingly, I lift my eyes and glance on him."Do you like it here?" He ask in low voice with a mixture of hardening tone and it makes me smile more."Its my first time going to the beach" I said that made him look at me with creased forehead "Of course I like it here" I continue as the whirling wind stirring my untied long hair."First time

They say the best things in life happen unexpectedly, and that is true. I already proven that today, tonight to be exactly.Sitting across Vicenzo while having a candlelight dinner is beyond my expectations. I mean, I never imagine having a candlelight dinner with him. To someone like him who doesn't even know how to smile gently and yet here I am. Amaze and still in daze with this unexpected dinner."Wife..." Vicenzo called me and reach my hand on the table wanting to get my attention.I lick my lower lip and turn my gaze on him giving him a small smile "Where's Gordon? " I ask out of nowhere because of too much discomfort.Although this is one of the best dinner I've ever experience, still I can't help but to feel discomfort because of the awkwardness I'm feeling right now.

I puffed out a breath of relief when I finally change my clothes. I didn't bother to fixed my messy hair and just step out on the locker room immediately. I wasn't surprise when I saw Boise and Gordon on the corner waiting for me."Sorry I'm a bit late" I said when they approach me."Mr. Santorini is on his way home. We need to go young lady" Gordon replied.I slightly nod my head and continue walking. I understand that we need to arrive first before Vicenzo. That man will surely went mad because its already past 8 in the evening.After the eventful day yesterday, everything went back to normal as if nothing happen at all. My mind start to busy myself thinking for the upcoming La Sylphide performance. I wanted to ready myself, honestly I've been practicing the whole day.

I felt my feet froze on my spot as my face went pale. Instinctively, I pulled my wrist from Gianni's grip and harshly look at Vicenzo who's walking closer to me looking so mad and dangerous with his raging eyes, clenching jaw, gritting teeth and stern face.I immediately approach him and block his tall powerful frame with my small and slender body."Vicenzo let's just go inside please" I implore gripping his both wrist.I held my breath when he did stop and lowered hi head angling a little to face me giving me a cold blank stare."I-I... I don't want to see you two hurting each other just like what happen before. Let's just go inside..." I urge him."You go inside" he authoritatively order me "I'll talk to him myself" he hissed roughly.My grip on his wrist tighten shaking my head. The nervousness I'm feeling right now is making me hard to breath. My heart is beating so loud that I couldn't even know how to calm myself."No please..."

I breath in and breath out while stretching my legs. My left hand is holding the barre tightly flexing my legs more."Higher Anna!" I heard Miss Gisella said and I oblige.I extend my legs higher and I reach it with my other hand. I'm looking at my reflection on the mirror making sure that my posture is still properly maintain especially my feet while Miss Gisella on the other hand is carefully watching me making sure that I do it correctly."We need to finish this tonight Anna" She remind me and push my back a little "We're going to rehearse tomorrow from the beginning until the current scene that we already finished to practice" she added and walk around me with crossed arm.I breath out and lick my lower lip maintaining my focus.

With our hand clasped together Vicenzo guide me to step inside the car. He even help me to wear the jacket properly because he didn't gave me the chance to change my clothes."Wait here" he said before he close the door beside me.I watch him out of the car window and I saw him talking to Calcifer and the other man who I don't know how to address. It seems like they were having a serious conversation base on the expression of their faces. Compared to the three of them, Calcifer is looking much calmer while Vicenzo seems like he's ready to kill someone."Do you know what happen Gordon?" I voice out not looking at Gordon."No young lady" he said.I turn my gaze on him and I look at him with suspicion. I'm not sure if Gordon is telling the truth because sometimes he is also siding Vicenzo and they all keep me in the dark."You don't look bother with what's happening around" I stated sounding a bit suspicious with him."My concern is only

I close back the door slowly and get my phone that was placed on the side table. I took a deep breath before I walk towards the glass door onto the balcony with a view of the city lights. I sigh and open my phone. Although I'm doubting, I still dialed Gianni's digit. I was expecting him to ignore my call, but surprisingly he did answer me in just one ring. "Rose" "I'm sorry Gian" I whisper and glance on my back checking if someone might eavesdropping. I wasn't able to say sorry to him. I am his cousin but I left him that night without making sure that he's alright. I was so unfair to him... I heard him sigh heavily "You don't have to say sorry Rose, I will get you out of there that's a promise" I shut my eyes close as I grip the railing of the balcony tightly "You don't understand, Gian. I'm already married with Vicenzo and I can't do anything about it" "Just like that Svanna Rose? You didn't tell me anything, and now you're sa

"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"

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.

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.
