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. After the sudden encounter of Gianni and Vicenzo last night everything goes back to normal as if nothing happen at all. I called Gianni this morning but he's not answering his phone. I was so worrried with him up until now. I
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
"Are you sure you'll be okay without me?" I can't help but ask while we're eating breakfast. The questions in my head last night were like kept in the box. As I said, I don't dare to confront Vicenzo. Besides, I trust him. I gave him a little trust and that little trust slowly getting bigger and bigger. Although I'm doubting a little, there is a voice inside my head saying 'your husband will never betray you and that's what I'm holding. "Your husband is Saint Vicenzo Santorini, wife" he chuckles and pinches my left cheek "Don't worry too much" he assures me. I heard Calcifer whistle playfully but my eyes remain on Vicenzo for a couple of seconds before I look at Calcifer and smile. I glance at Greco too but it was too brief afraid that I might meet his gaze. Since last night, I feel a sudden aloofness towards him although we haven't talked even just for a short time still. I'm honestly afraid to look a
If death is inevitable, then I guess this is my end right now. Fresh tears start rolling down to my cheeks feeling the excruciating pain in I don't know which part of my body. A sticky liquid is slowly streaming down to the side of my head while I'm breathing heavily, gasping for air. "C-Cal..."I whisper in a dried voice trying to get Calcifer's attention. I slowly open my eyes, I was still inside the car but it is not moving anymore. I tried to lift my hand to open the door beside me but it was stuck. "C-Calcifer" I cried hopelessly pushing the door "Please..." I mumble. I sob silently and swallow the lump on my throat, I scanned my eyes around. I can't move my body, the only thing I can control is my eyes. Slowly, my gaze landed on the driver seat and my eyes widened when I saw Calcifer's back with his head on the steering wheel. "Calcifer!" I frantically called his name.
Everything happens so fast, I don't know when and how we able to escape. I just found myself sitting on the single couch pulling my legs up hugging both of my knees while covered with a thick blanket here in the living room of Vicenzo's mansion.The men in the black inside are fully alarmed. They were walking back and forth creating an unpleasant sound because of their heavy footsteps that echo the whole living room. Vicenzo left me here because he still needs to talk to someone to clean the mess and to figure out who was those men who attacked us. I on the other hand am still shaking as if I was cold when in fact I was just so scared about what happened.Now that I already escape that very dangerous situation, everything sinks in. My lips won't stop quivering and the fast beating of my heart won't calm down. I sigh and close my eyes, I hope my father is alright including Mommy Adeline, and Aliah."Young Lady, here's your tea" I heard Jana said beside me.
"You'll be okay, this is just scratch" Dra. Mhalia said while putting some ointment to the wounds on my waist.I sigh in relief knowing that it was not that serious. Our performance in La Sylphide is getting closer and closer, I missed today rehearsal and I need to cope up tomorrow. If Vicenzo let me. His words are the law, if he won't agree then I don't have a choice."I thought it's a big deal, it was bleeding so bad and so painful" I smile when she looks at me."Don't worry, it is not a serious wound. Just take a rest, your body needs that" she said and checked my both arms.She's done cleaning the scratch on my leg caused by the sharp stone. It was not that big, but not small either. The pain is bearable not like the pain on my waist a while ago. Good thing it already subsides, thanks to the painkiller that Dra. Mhalia gave me it."Thank you so much, I'm sorry for bothering you," I said and shyly smile at her.She giggles and fixes her m
Yesterday was so eventful that I couldn't even process it all. But I know I would be more traumatized to ride a car knowing that any minute someone will ambush and tried to kill me again. Good thing Vicenzo never left me alone in our room making me feel safe. He did all his paper works here in our bedroom just to make sure that I'm not gonna left our room to do my morning routine.He's overreacting actually. I am fine now, as what Dra. Mhalia said, my wounds are just scratches. I have body pain, maybe because of the impact of the car when it hit the gutter added by the soreness of my body because of my everyday ballet training. Aside from that- I have nothing to complain about. My wounds are all fine, they were not painful at all. I'm also drinking painkillers to relieve my body pain.Vicenzo is just making it looks dramatic. He's even forbidding me to leave our room and even walking on the balcony to breathe some fresh air. He's overly paranoid."Wife I'm going
I look at him and laugh lightly "Where's that question came from? " I unbelievably ask him.I can't believe he thinks such things. He went to my mother's grave twice, if I'm not mistaken. It was written on my mother's tombstone on the date of her death. It almost two decades now. I bit my lower lip and shake my head."What's with you?" I can't help but utter when he just looks at me with no evident emotions on his face."Nothing" he paused and turn his gaze back to what we are watching "It was a harmless question"I snorted playfully and lean back my head on his shoulder "That was a funny question for me" I utter "I mean, Mom is still alive in my heart. But she's already dead physically. I was there when that accident happened" I said and my voice becomes a whisper as I mention the 'accident line'."Accident?" He curiously asks and looks at me with a creased forehead.My lips curved downward and nod my head "Yes. I saw it with my two eyes, e
