I massaged my forehead as I listen to the speaker in front of me, we are having the monthly meeting for my company and I am meeting them virtually. It's midnight here while it's morning in the Philippines right now.
"Speak clearly, Ms. Delos Santos. What are you trying to imply right now?" I asked her impatiently and she heaved a deep sigh. "Allow me to cover the big event in Hongkong, Ms. Thalia," she said with determination in her voice.
I tap multiple times on the surface of the table inside Giovanni's library. I can allow her to go there but the case is, the event in Hongkong is something to be featured. It takes a million guts to cover that event.
It's the assembly of billionaires worldwide and it is supposed to be a private gathering.
"Ms. Delos Santos, this is not allowed, it's a private gathering by billionaires," I said to her and she fought for it until I gave in

THALIA ISABELLE Giovanni went back to his office that day and I remained inside the house. I saw maids looking at me sometimes so I took a deep breath. "What is it?" I asked them politely, hoping that they will not take it against me. "M-Mr. Brickser told us to ready your food for dinner because he can't join you in dinner, Ms. Thalia," she said. I nodded. "Sure, thanks," I cooly said and stand up from the sofa. I've been here in the living room since three in the afternoon strikes because I can't sleep in a bed so I just watch different series on the TV. I look around the living room and they are all minimalist, and on the wall, our picture together when we were in the field of tulips, holding each other like an in-love couple. It's part of our honeymoon. "Whenever Mr. Brickser comes home, he always stares at that picture, he sits there for an hour," someone speaks beside me and it's the head of maids in this house. I look at her confused. "What do you mean? Maybe he is

THALIA ISABELLEI was about to leave him when he held my hand. “I want to know about your life for the past 2 years,” he said and I nodded. He wants to know everything I will tell except him about my baby because he doesn’t deserve to know my baby.“I was diagnosed with depression, I thought of myself as the weakest person on Earth and I felt ashamed because none in our family is weak but I am weak,” I said and heave a deep sigh because looking back at my old self.I felt pity because I have to go through with that process. “Can you continue talking about your past? If you can’t then I’ll wait until you can,” he said and he misinterpret my sudden silence. “I will tell you the exact situation that I have been in so you will know what kind of pain you inflicted on me,” I told him and he look away.“I stayed inside my room for 24/7 and my family is worried about me. One time, my brother went to visit me in my room and he saw me readying myself to hang out using my blanket, I can’t rememb

THALIA ISABELLE“You’re cooking something in your head?” I asked him.“I’ll show you the dish once I’m done,” he said and I smiled at him. Grey never failed to amaze me with his actions. “Anyway, I have to go now before your husband catches me,” he said so I nodded.My mind is left to wander, why her information is very secure and can’t be found easily when she’s not even a member of high society? I smiled bitterly when I remember that she was once engaged to Giovanni.I stood up to go back to my executive chair when the door opens and I saw Giovanni enter my office.“What is the CEO doing in my office right now?” I asked him.“I heard Penny that you did not eat lunch yet,” he said and I look at him confusingly because it was not for a lunch break. “I follow the rules, Giovanni.”“But you’re my wife and I was the one who made those rules,” he said and I nodded. “Then the more I should follow, you’re the boss and you should be the one who acts strictly on it,” I said to him and he just

THALIA ISABELLE“Hansel can run it,” I said to him but he just nodded.“I know he can but you’re my wife and you’re available,” he said to me and I rolled my eyes at his justification. “As far as I remember, you never trust your company to me, what’s the difference now?” I asked him and he look in the other direction.I am not manipulating him I am just stating the facts so he could remember the past because I don’t want to run his company, I have a job inside his company and the investigation is still in process. I can’t dance on the two-stage together.“Your hypothesis before might be proven after you left your company under my care, Giovanni. I have nothing to lose now, remember,” I said to him, giving him negative ideas about me so he could change his mind.“You’re a businesswoman, Thalia. You don’t want to see your building collapse, am I right?” he said and I don’t know if he is threatening me or he is making me wear his shoes if I fail the company. So I played dumb.“I am a bus

THALIA ISABELLE I am smiling at Giovanni who looks like he is torn between leaving the country or staying in the country. We are now inside the airport and lots of people looking at us probably staring at Giovanni and his men because they look so good in their outfits. "Hey, aren't you going inside?" I asked innocently. "What if you'll come with me? I regret my decision to not bring you with me," Giovanni said with worried is visible in his voice. "I'll be fine, we'll be fine here, Giovanni. Don't worry about the safety of your company, when you come back to the country, your building will remain the same---untouchable," I assured him and even touch his broad shoulder. That's what happens when the gym is a pastime. "I know my company will not fall, Thalia. I am damn worried about you, I know once you find them, you'll chase them," he said and even hold his head. I rolled my eyes at him."You'll see me here in the same spot once you come back from overseas, Giovanni. I promise," I

THALIA ISABELLEGrey was horrified when he saw the man who shot an arrow get fired by me. He is now bleeding holding his wound. I jogged towards him and Grey is coming after me. I aimed the gun at his forehead. "May I know the reason behind this shit?" I asked him.He just smirked at me. "Whatever you do, the money from your company is stolen and burnt," he said and I rolled my eyes. I shot him right in the forehead. "Why did you kill him, Thalia?" "He's useless, he is spitting nonsense," I said simply and blow the tip of my gun. "Let's look for those people that satan needs," I said to him. He shook his head. Afterwards, we found the home of the person we were looking for. I knock on the door and there's no response inside. I look at Grey. "Open it," I told him. "We are trespassing the house," he said and he is afraid that he will be accused of stealing but who cares? Before the person will cry for help, they will cry for pain and death. "Grey, they did trespass the money of

THALIA ISABELLEAfter I park the car in the parking space at the company, I immediately went inside. Some people stop from walking just to greet me so I smiled at them. I am just one of their bosses and with their help, I manage to sustain my expensive lifestyle. That's why I treat them with the utmost respect—unless they don't deserve it. I saw, Penny, who is my assistant looking like a stressed person. I chuckled at her look right now. "Hey, what happened?" I asked her. "I can't do this anymore, Thalia! Make the boss come back here," she said and even stomp her feet on the floor. She removed her eyeglasses and massage her temple. "It is too risky to all the letters contained on every page of the documents, it feels like a wrong move and decision can put our lives end," she said and heaved a deep sigh. "You can rest now, Penny. I'll handle those papers now," I said to her and she looks relieved. "Thank you so much, Thalia," she said. I went inside his office and I saw my portr

THALIA ISABELLE I was frozen when I saw him standing beside my car. What the hell is he doing here? "What are you doing here?" I asked him and he is just simply standing there devoid of any emotion on his face. He is still wearing his corporate attire. "I came back when I found out what you did, Thalia," he said sending a shiver to my spinal cord. I cleared my throat to lower the tension building up in my system. "I just did what I have to do," I defended myself. He took a deep breath because of what he heard from me. "I get it that you did it but the point is, your safety is at stake," he calmly said and that terrifies me more. Giovanni is scarier if he's calm amidst the conflicts. "Thalia, I am damn worried about you, that's why I flew back here," he said, and I just nodded to end the conversation. I am too tired to talk about it. I am not escaping, I am just emotionally drained. But I am not guilty of what I did."See you at home, Giovanni," I told him and played with my

"Be careful! Her husband is the mafia boss, and she belongs to a powerful family in another continent," I heard someone say. "Giovanni will never learn if we touch her. This is once in a blue moon to see a goddess in our lair," he said and they laughed. "Don't touch her, or else we will be sent to hell instantly," the other man said, and he looked like he was their boss because his words mattered to these idiots. I slowly opened my eyes, and I realized my hands and feet were tied in a chair. My neck hurt, but I kept my head down; I thought deeply about how we ended up like this. As we passed by the road, our cars were cornered by these assholes, and we weren't able to fight back because we got cornered. Once I was released, I was going to torture them and tear their limbs! They will not have an easy death. "The Stallion will come any moment," I heard someone say. My eyes got bigger in shock, but I composed myself, so I raised my head. "Stallion, huh?" I mockingly said.

He is grinning as he drives his car towards the main road, so I roll my eyes at him. He said, one orgasm, but he took me several times inside the falls! He is so cunning! "You enjoyed our escapade don't you?" he asked me as he sounded teasing me. "I did," I answered because Giovanni is a passionate lover. He worshipped my body like it was the finest on earth. My forehead creased when he manoeuvred the car in a different direction. I looked at him with curiosity, but he just pointed his finger in front of us, so I looked at it. There are suspicious cars heading into the private property. He closed his fist tightly and clenched his jaw. "I knew it. They are just under my nose," he murmured. He fished his phone from his pocket and dialled the number of Hansel. I received a message from Grey. The location he sent is where we are right now and I felt like a bomb exploded inside my head. I felt like my world started to crumble. I found her. I found his ex-wife. "Giovanni, w

Giovanni invited me to go to another shelter where our weapons were stored. I arched my right eyebrow and crossed my arms above my chest. "You, hide this from me?" I asked him, using my sharp tone that could slice him the moment he answered differently. "I don't know if you'll accept this, but this is the truth; I forgot to include this in our conversation every single damn time," he explained. "We've been together for months now, Giovanni. We're in the middle of fighting our enemies, you'll tell me this?" I asked him more likely lashing him out. He scratched the back of his head and took a deep breath. He looked me sincerely in the eyes, but I didn't have time for that; I was burning with anger right now! "I trust you with everything I have, Thalia. I forgot this thing because I am living in this moment; I am enjoying every second with you. I enjoyed it to the point I forgot that there is another dimension we live," he said, and my heart softened because of it. I und

Adam Parsley. That’s his real name and not a Jackson. He looks triggered now and ready to unleash a few of his strengths, but he is tied to the wall with a large chain. She’sin around his hands and feet. He is screaming to the point we can see his veins. “I’d rather die than spill anything!” he said to us. My husband scratches his eyebrow. “Are you afraid of what they can do to your wife? But you’re not afraid of what I can do to your wife?” Giovanni asked him. He smirked. “Why not? Because you are weak, you are not who you are without your father’s influence,” he said and insulted him. Giovanni laughed at his misery. “Really? I’ll show you what I can do to your wife then,” he said and motioned his one finger to Hansel. Hansel went out of the room, and I saw how Giovanni threw his dagger at Adam, who pissed him off so badly. “I will poison her in front of your eyes so you will know what I have felt when you poisoned my wife in front of my eyes,” Giovanni coldly said. “Giovanni

I look at my husband with boredom in my eyes as I watch my mother cry dramatically, she waits for us in our house as we arrive from the hospital because I got discharged today. My father just shrugs his shoulders because he can’t stop his wife.“Mom, look at me, I am alive and kicking,” I told her but she just shook her head. “No, you shouldn’t be poisoned in the first place,” she said. “What if something bad had happened? The poison got into your system that no antidotes can’t prevent?” she added and I took a deep breath. “Mom, stop overthinking things. This won’t happen to me ever because Giovanni will taste it first before I eat it,” I said and my father laughed. “Dad, she’s serious and that’s my condition,” Giovanni said and my father just stared at him. “What’s gotten into your skull, man?” he asked. “Just in love,” Giovanni responded and I almost puked because how can he act like that right now, we’re not in a romantic situation. “Anyway, enough with the drama. Did you look

Giovanni held my hand and squeezed them, so I looked at him with curiosity. “What?” I asked him as I looked his hand onne.to His other hand is holding the steering wheel. “You are spacing out,” he said. “Oh,” I said. I took a deep breath and released the air.“I am a little bit worried about the situation in the company, you didn’t show up for five consecutive days,” I told him and looked outside of the window. We are traveling between the trees. “The company stood fine and firm although I’ll be away for a year, Thalia,” he answered and I rolled my eyes on him because he sounded confident. “I have the employees that I trained well just in case things are happening like this,” he said and I nodded at him. “Yeah, whatever,” I told him. I yawned as I remembered that I didn’t have enough sleep last night because Giovanni and I were having a briefing last night. “You should buy me a coffee later, Giovanni. I didn't have enough sleep because of you,” I told him. He chuckled. “It is very t

I leaned on Giovanni as I whispered in his ears. “Where are the visitors?” I asked him and he pointed them inside the office. On every floor, Giovanni has his office. We are in the UG 4. He held my waist and pulled me in the direction of his office. When we got inside, they stood up and bowed their heads. The atmosphere becomes unfamiliar because of these strangers. Okay. I looked at them and started counting inside my head, so, they are fifteen men in complete black suits. “Good morning, Mr and Mrs Brickser,” they said in unison raised my right eyebrow. I nodded with a smile on my face. I roamed my eyes to the office and it didn’t have appliances but only a couch, table, aircon, and lights. It adds to the strong ambience of this room. My eyes went immediately to their boss which means Leighrandra’s husband, he looked like a simple man but with a high intelligence quotient. So, this is what Leighrandra’s taste in men, she’s attracted to high-IQ men. No wonder because she can be stu

I woke up late because I felt so drained the whole day and my brain couldn’t function well due to the tiredness I felt, I glanced at the wall clock mounted on the wall inside our master’s bedroom. It’s nine-thirty in the morning, so, I get up and stretch my arms. I yawned because I wanted to sleep more but I know I have to stand up and work my ass off today. I went straight into the bathroom to prepare myself for today. As I put on my light make-up, Giovanni went inside the room. He looks fresh in the morning. “Good morning,” he greeted and kissed me on my lips. I greeted him back. “I prepared your breakfast in the dining area, babe,” he said and I nodded with a smile on my face. “Thank you so much!” I happily said and put my make-up kit in the drawer. I was surprised when Giovanni snatched the blow dryer from my hand and he started drying my hair. “I never knew you would do this to me, not even in my imagination,” I commented and he chuckled.“Well, I like to serve my queen,” he sa

My brother, Harris, is standing in front of me while I am on the floor kneeling and hugging Penny tightly. I can see the anger in his eyes as he closed his fists tightly. “H-Harris,” I mentioned his name and he just stared at me with so much pain. He immediately pulled me up to wrap me in his arms.Another set of tears is released when I feel his warm hug. I feel like I didn’t hug him for so many years, I feel like he found me finally. “Hush, my little sister,” he whispered to my ears. I pulled myself from hugging him and wiped my tears. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. He took a deep breath. “I visited you when I learned what happened last night, Thalia,” he answered me and I nodded. “But how did you know here?” I asked him again because I was curious how he came here when I did not give any details. “I asked your husband and he led me here,” he simply answered and I nodded. He eyed me intensively and I gulped because I knew what it meant but I tended to ignore it because I
