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
When I am done looking back at my dark past I look at his drawers beneath this table and it's some files I chuckled when I saw a pack of candy, I can't imagine him eating candies. I closed the drawer and open the big drawer. I don't know why I feel like I should open this and see the things covered in a small basket. I look at the monitor and there is no email entered yet maybe Penny is still working on it. I put the basket on the top and open it, it is full of white envelopes. My heartbeats went fast and I feel like there was a strong urge that is pulling me to open those envelopes. The mark of the envelope signifies it is opened and read so it doesn't matter anymore. It's a letter. When I read the sender's name, it brings horror and I feel like I was dragged into the grave. My spine went shivered and my hands begin to shake. My airways are tight now. As I read the letters, I counted all the envelop
Three knocks from the office door, and it opened automatically. I raised my eyebrow at Hansel and Grey, I looked at the wall clock, and it was nearly the end of office hours. I shut down the monitor and looked intently at them.Hansel's look paled as his eyes went to the black basket on the table. I smirked when his eyes went on me. He knows something and can't wait to report it to his boss."Where's the information I am asking for?" I asked them and opened my palm to them. Hansel placed the folder on the table, and I noticed his hands shake. "Calm down, Hansel," I simply said to him.He cleared his throat."The list of people is suspicious based on their recent activities caught by the CCTV and their profiles, Thalia," he clearly said.I browsed them, and there were, unfortunately, five people to be removed from Earth. I am sure as hell that Giovanni will not make them last longer. I shook my head and read their background
I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with medicine-contaminated air. I fixed myself and held on to the black basket tightly. I stepped inside and saw Giovanni seriously watching a movie on the TV. "Everyone, please step outside," I told them, and their eyes were on me. They immediately stood up while carrying their food. "I'll see you later," I said to Penny, and she nodded. "Did you miss me, babe?" Giovanni asked and opened his arms widely. The black basket is behind me, so he can't see it yet. "Why would I?" I asked harshly, and he smiled. "It's fine, and I miss you so much; I miss seeing your beautiful place like fresh air in the morning," Giovanni said, and I didn't react to it; instead, I showed him what was in my hand. Giovanni stiffed and looked horrified; his face became pale, and his eyes were on the basket alone. I put the basket on his bed and crossed my arms. "Giovanni, what is this all about?" I asked him. "B-Babe, I-I can explain, please," he begged, and
I cooked food for our dinner and walked back and forth in the living room while waiting for Giovanni to come home. My heart skipped a beat when I heard the sound of his car parked. My heart gets excited because I am sure he will like it. I smiled when I saw the door knob twisted, but I got disappointed when I saw Hansel and Silver assisting the drunk Giovanni. "Good evening, Mrs Brickser," Hansel coldly greeted me, and I smiled at him. "Can you bring him to his room?" I politely asked them, and they just nodded. I watched them walk to his room upstairs, and I looked at the dining table and sighed deeply because I was going to put it on the refrigerator. I heard footsteps. "Did you eat dinner?" I asked them. "I cooked a dinner for us, and it seems like Giovanni can't join," I said, and they looked at each other, then they talked using their eye
Penny left me to pay my bills because I requested to my physician that I want to be discharged today. I am outside of my room waiting for Penny. My room is beside Giovanni, and I hadn't seen him today, so I decided to walk inside his room. "I said leave me alone," he said when he heard the door closed. "The audacity, Giovanni?" I sarcastically said, and he immediately looked at me. He is typing on his laptop. It seems like he is working. "Are you discharged now, Thalia? How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, nodded. "Are you supposed to rest, Giovanni? Why are you working right now?" I asked him coldly and looked at him emotionless. He looks tired and stressed. His hair is messy. I fought the strong urge to fix his hair, but I stopped myself because we were not yet okay. "Thalia, can we talk now?" he asked me. I look at him intently and feel myself if I can talk to him about what I f
The moment her eyes met mine, a sudden rush to my heart made it beat fast. She smiled sweetly at us, and I felt like I melted with her innocent gaze and sweet smile.Unknowingly, I placed my palm above my heart. My heart beat peacefully at the sight of her smiling at us, she crawls, and we go inside. Delia brought her into her arms, my hands were shaking, and my throat narrowed."Baby, she's your Mommy," Delia said, and the baby looked enthusiastic with what she heard. So, I offered my hands to carry her, and to my surprise, she went to me. I embraced her tightly, and I could listen to her baby sounds.Maybe, she's the baby my unborn child sent to heal me entirely because, being this close to her, a part of me is slowly recovering."I love her. I never knew I could easily love a person instantly," I said and even smelled her; she smelled so good. Like vanilla. "How many days would it take to make her mine legally?" I asked Delia be
"Good morning, my Giovanna!" I said to the baby, who was sitting in a baby stroller. Silver delivered it last night.I kissed her chubby cheeks. We are in the garden watching the mountains, birds, and blue skies together. I was startled when someone kissed me on my cheeks. It was the jerk."Good morning, babe. Good morning to my baby girl," Giovanni said; she giggled at what she heard from her father."I know who is her favorite now," Giovanni said. I fake my smile at him and look at my baby girl. She smiled at us. "She loves to smile," Giovanni commented. I nodded."Sandro sent me her detailed information and her monthly check-up. Everything is good," Giovanni said and pinched her chubby cheeks. "That's good to know," I responded."Are you not going to work today?" I asked him."I am on sick leave. Between you and I, who should be at the office now?" he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. I stomped my feet
In the afternoon, everything is peaceful and quiet inside our house while I tap Giovanna's chubby legs to make her sleep. Giovanni is rushing to go outside, and I watch him disappear. My daughter and I are in the living room while Giovanni is inside his home office.My forehead creased when I saw some of his men enter the front yard. I can't leave my daughter inside her crib. My curiosity was killing me, but I didn't let it win because I feared my baby would wake up. I heard some sounds of trucks.Later, I saw the men carrying furniture and going inside our house."What are these for?" I asked them."These are for Giovanna, Ma'am," one of them answered. I look at Giovanni, who just went inside carrying a big box.I never saw Giovanni carry that box, not even the small one! I am surprised and, at the same time, amazed because I can see how he puts so much effort into becoming a father to our child."Are you
"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
