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

    I am watching these men receive their punishments, and it's my fault that they are in that situation. So to alleviate their tiredness, I prepared drinks and food to replenish their lost energy. I winced when I saw Silver get hit by a sack of sand, and his face hit. I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes when I felt his presence beside me. "That's what they get for disobeying my rules," he said, and my teeth gritted. I fixed my hair, and I wore a comfortable outfit for this extreme exercise. "What the fuck are you going, Thalia?" he asked with his forehead creased. "I am going to join them because it's unfair that they are receiving some punishments when they just followed me," I told him. His mouth opens in disbelief as he hears from me. I shrug my shoulders and run towards the direction of those men. "What are you doing here?" Silver asked. "Since this is my fault and my impulsive decision brought you guys here, then I am willing to go through this kind of punishment," I tol

    In each day that passes by, the dead feelings that are long gone starting to rise like alive. I kept my head and myself busy to not think things like that. I don't want to betray myself because of my stupid heart. I was once betraying myself and I led it to my destruction. I woke up first and I am doing some morning exercise to keep myself healthy and strong. I need to bring those assholes on the 6 feet underground. From my view, I can see some of his men are running on the field like military men doing their morning routines. Giovanni is still sleeping like a baby in his bed.As I ran on the treadmill and my mind went back to the past like walking in an old memory lane. After the bombing of the Heart of Seas Hotel, everything went back to normal like there is no war between the mafia families. There are casualties and my brother was injured. Giovanni, on the other hand, came to the Philippines to negotiate with me about the advertisement of his products in my magazine. I was na

    I thought Giovanni let me slip from his presence instead he followed me and grabbed my arms. "What do you want?" I asked him. My voice sounds tired. I hate this part of me, I hate that my past still holding me tightly. I thought I was able to let go of them but I wasn't. "I want us to talk, Thalia." I remove my arms from his grip and he didn't let me go. "The last time I let your arms go, Thalia. You are gone for how many years," he said with danger in his voice. "You let my arms go or not, Giovanni I will still go because it's a must, I must save myself from completely drowning in the pain you've caused," I said to him and he stared at me intently. Those eyes that once looked at me like he wants to devour his prey, he wants to kill his enemy. "Thalia, I am sorry, I am deeply sorry," he said and look at me gently so I chuckle sarcastically until it became a crying hard. It's still a morning and yet it feels like the night that ended my life. Giovanni kneels to hug my body as

    The whole day I didn't see Giovanni even his shadow, I observed his men upon their unusual movements but I failed because they are acting normal. "Mrs Brickser, just ask me if you want to see Giovanni," Silver said as he appeared as a ghost. I jumped out of scared. "I am not looking for him," I defended myself and he just shrugs his shoulder. "If you want to see him, just go to your husband's company and he is rotting himself there," he shared but I rolled my eyes on him. "I'm not going there. I just got home," I told him and he nodded like he wasn't convinced at all. I am relieved that he is just there because I felt a little guilty due to our arguments this morning. I heaved a deep sigh and went inside our room. I am about to remove my top when my phone rings and I rolled my eyes. But it is from an unknown so my forehead creased. "Yes?" "Is this the wife of Giovanni Brickser?" "I am," I told the man on the speaker. "Ma'am, your husband is in our hospital. He was shot on hi

    I stayed with Giovanni all night while the other men are staying outside the room. Hansel and Grey brought me food while I am keeping my eyes on Giovanni. Penny talked to me a while ago regarding the baby I want to adopt and the baby is found inside this hospital. But the thing is, will Giovanni accept the baby? I stretch my arms and yawned. I want to go home and change my clothes. I was startled when my phone rings at the top of the table so I lazily walked towards it. It was Grey. "Hello, Grey," I said. "Thalia, we bring the guy in our basement," he said and my eyes widened. That fast?! I mean, I ordered to bring the boss but I know this won't be easy. "Which basement?" I asked him."Your husband's headquarter," he answered so I nodded. I know where that place is. "I'll head there now," I stated and I was about to end the phone call. "The argon has a connection, Thalia and they were alerted now so be careful or else, you will join your husband inside the hospital lying?" he

    I reviewed his files last night, he's an abandoned child who got left in the crowd by his mother until his boss found him. "You bitch!" he shouted and tried to get out of the grip. "I am! So, you fucking listen to me!" I shouted back and slap the wooden table in front of him. He was frightened by my action. "Now, I want to ask you, who ordered you to ambush Giovanni?! And who are the people behind this aside from you?" I asked him calmly but dangerously. I stare at him intently and he gulped. "It's the boss and some people inside your husband's company are one of us, Thalia. They are not all loyal servants," he said and smirked. "Thanks for it, I am going to filter people then," I said. "Since you are done talking. Kindly tape his mouth and put him inside the soundproofed room," I ordered the men who are standing in the corner. They obediently did my command and watch them as they carry him while shouting but it wasn't that loud. The soundproof room is where you can face-to-fa

    The smell of the Hospital welcomed me and the scenery of people who are crying, sad, and happy. We went straight to the elevator and Hansel push the button. I listen to Grey as he narrates what happened a while ago."Giovanni should be worried now," Hansel said and laugh with the other men who are with us. I look at them through the silver door of the elevator. "Sorry," Hansel said and cleared his throat."But yeah, Giovanni must be careful with me now," I sarcastically said to them."Who is with Giovanni right now?" I asked them."With some other men, Thalia, don't worry," Hansel answered and I nodded. The door opens and there are people waiting outside so we excused ourselves."Is she the wife of the patient in Room 18?" some nurses asked each other but I just ignored them."She's intimidating,""She's beautiful and I understand why Princess got rejected."My forehead creased and I am about

    Since the CEO of Brickser Corporation is not around and he is still in Hospital for recovery as his legally bonded wife, I will occupy his office for a while but of course, the decision is not mine but his to make."Giovanni, don't you remember my threat to you before? I will make your company crumble and turn it into ashes?" I asked him as I am standing in front of him with both hands at my waist."I clearly remember your words full of loathing and emotions, my dear wife. And isn't your time to fulfil that?" he asked me and take a bite of his apple.He is so calm to the point it scares me."I hate you to the pits of hell, Giovanni!" I shouted and stomped my feet on the tiled floor.He laughs."I will accept that Thalia because next you're going to love me to the deepest depths of hell," he said and winked at me which sends butterflies in my stomach and calmed 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.

    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
