2024-10-29 19:42:56Today 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

I stop walking and turn my head to look at Calcifer who's talking to someone over his phone."Young lady..."I heard Gordon get my attention."He's different from what I expected" I whisper."He is also protecting you" he replied that made me look at him "They want to protect you"I sigh and nod my head before I decided to continue walking. I glance at the huge painting of that ballerina in the lobby before I head straight to my assigned room and change my clothes.Our tutu dress for the La Sylphide performance will arrive today. We are checking if the sizes are correct and if everything is fine before we proceed to our rehearsal for today. Few more days before Zeneca will introduce La Sylphide.I breathe out while watching myself in the mirror. I stretch my head and shoulders before I lift my body using my toe. One step, two steps, three steps. One wrong step, the play will be ruined. I licked my lower lip and fixed my hair before I step out

"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

Days went by and here I am looking at my reflection in the mirror while wearing a white tutu dress with a see-through puffed sleeve. My hair is into a braided bun with white roses crown. Today is the first day of La Sylphide's performance and I'm kinda nervous.I took a deep breath and close my eyes putting both hands on my waist. I exhale again and lift my body with my toes stretching my neck and my shoulder. I was in that position for a minute or two before I get back to resting position. I stretch my lips into a smile narrowing my eyes with glittering eyelashes extension and glowing eye shadow when the door suddenly opens without a knock.I immediately turn around when I saw Gianni enter together with Aunt Marie who's wearing a black dress just below her knees. A genuine smile forms on my lips and approaches the two."Aunt!" I said like a kid and hug her tightly."Easy dear, your dress might be ruined," she said and I pulled away smiling brightly at he

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

I'm staring at nowhere still thinking what Vicenzo told me. I'm bothered but I couldn't put it into words that's why I become speechless a while ago. I just woke up, I think this is the effect of the IV drip that the doctor gave me, I feel sleepy all the time.I was dragged back to my reverie when the door of my room open and Calcifer enter who's holding a paper bag and one handy bag. I tilt my head and I smile politely at him when he looks at me."Good morning" I greeted him that made him chuckle."It's already midnight Mia Signora" he replied and pointed to the digital clock beside my bed.My gaze turns towards it and I giggle. I wasn't aware that it's already 7:00 in the evening. The window is closed and I couldn't see outside because of the thick brown curtain that's why I thought it still morning."What time did I woke up a while ago?" I ask."That's already afternoon" he replied and place the paper bag on the center table.I pur

I groan when I felt someone is kissing my left cheek down to the left side of my neck trailing a featherweight kiss to my bare shoulder. I squeeze my eyes close and move my hand when I felt a hand caressing my waist carefully."Saint..."I murmured in a sleepy voice opening my eyes a little.Vicenzo's handsome face greeted me. His lips curved into a smile that made me smile too. I close my eyes again when he leans down and kisses the side of my lips and nuzzles his head on my neck."Good morning sleepyhead" he whispers in a husky voice against my skin that tickles me a little.His warm breath fanning on the skin of my neck. It feels nice but I can feel how his adam's apple moves and it's a bit tickling."Hmmm," I softly groan and carefully move to hug his waist when he starts sniffing my scent just like he used to do.I'm still so sleepy and my eyes are still heavy. I want more sleep but he's acting like a kid again. I suddenly wonder what ha

"How are you?" Gianni ask me.I smile at him and I raised my hand showing him that I can now move without feeling too much pain. It's been four days since I was discharged from the hospital just like what Vicenzo told me. My father visited me yesterday but he was not with Aliah nor with Mommy Adeline. I'm a bit disappointed, but who am I to complain right? I'm just glad Gianni visit me today."I'm doing good, my nurse is strictly monitoring me and I think that helps a lot," I told him which made him chuckle.His two cute dimples get visible in my eyes making my smile widened. I know why he's laughing, I'm a very stubborn ever since I was a child. Of course, he would laugh at me knowing that I become an obedient patient out of a sudden."Good thing you're not giving that nurse of yours a hard time" he grinned playfully.I pursed my lips and I briefly glance at Gordon who's standing on the balcony guarding the surrounding making sure that no one is c

I look at Gordon with my teary eyes as he looks at me with slight panicked."T-They... they planning to k-kill someone?" my lips quiver and shake my head.That's the first thing that came to my mind. Hearing how Vicenzo told Cal to wrap it up cleanly and using those code words that only them can understand, makes me conclude what was their conversation is all about."Gordon" I called Gordon when he didn't say a word.He sighs and shakes his head "Let's go back to your room or they will find out that you've been eavesdropping on their conversation" Gordon whispers instead and help me to get up.But I am persistent to have an answer from him"I am just mistaken right?" I fire out again " You just mistakenly say that right?" In denial, I might sound but I don't care.There is one thing that I asked Vicenzo before and that is not to commit something that goes against the law. I don't care what secret he has hidden from me, what I need is assuranc

"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.
