CHAPTER 44
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Inside the four corners of the room, there are books, files, and figurines placed perfectly inside the cabinets. There's a medium chandelier placed above the ceiling, and the aircon is at a suitable temperature, but my blood boils.
Grey is kneeling in front of me with his hands together. "Forgive me, Thalia," he pleads. "You betrayed me, Grey!" I said to him.
Giovanni told me everything he learned from Grey. "I am caught off guard, Thalia. Your husband is something!" he said as he looked at Giovanni standing while holding a book. "He threatened me that he would deport me to the Philippines!" he added.
I rolled my eyes. "Did you not believe me when I told you I got your back?" I asked him. He looked down as he pouted. "I believed you, but I don't want to put you both in turmoil because of me," he muttered.
"So you chose to betray me?" I asked him mockingly.
"It's not like that, Thalia, I swear!" he pleaded.

Giovanni remained in his position and it's been there for hours, he is silent but I can hear his small sobs that break my heart. He needs to release all his emotions. I can see him wiping his tears and his shoulders are moving. I stood up to give him a glass of water. "Drink water, Giovanni," I calmly said to him as I stood in front of him. He look up at me, and my eyes became soft and teary-eyed. I can see how broken he is. There's so much pain in his eyes. His hand is shaking as he gets the glass from my hand. "Giovanni," I called him. "D-Don't tell me to stop crying. The pain is so unbearable," he said as he closed his eyes. He dropped the glass to the floor and it breaks. I immediately pick up the portions of the broken glass. "Just like these pieces, they are like trust. It is broken and you can't unbreak it," he spoke out. "Yes," I firmly said. I pick up the pieces of broken glass and bring a towel to gather the tiny

I looked at Hansel and the rest before knocking on the door. As I knocked twice, I twisted it. The room welcomes me with silence and a peaceful night. There are dim lights on the ceiling. I closed the door lightly afraid that I'll disturb the peaceful sleep of my daughter. On her crib's left side, I saw Grey who is sleeping on his chair.Although, the chair was customized to use it for sleeping. I took a deep breath, and approach him to poke his right cheek. He shoved my finger away and so I repeat it. His right eye opens slightly, and he looks surprised by my appearance. He gulped and shook his head. "Hello, Grey," I greeted him without a smile. He looks at me with a nervous smile. "T-Thalia, let me explain carefully," he immediately said. He knows his fault and so it must be. "I hate what you did, Grey," I said as I sit down on another chair beside him. I crossed my arms above my chest. "You betrayed me instantly," I added. He bows his head. "I apologized for my betrayal, Thali

My head hurts as I stare at my monitor's screen, I am reading the information of the man we found. He was once a janitor in the company of Giovanni. But he was fired because of being an informant from the other competing company. I nodded. The thing is some of his information is private. I want to know if he is connected to any groups. I have a strong feeling that he is a member of a certain group. It is past three in the morning, and I can't fall asleep yet but I need to sleep. So, I stand up and carry my laptop. I close the door. Giovanni is still sleeping and I yawned. He moved so I look at him, and he is like having nightmares. I went to his side to get the jar in his hand. "Stay away from me!" he shouted, so I was startled. He open his eyes quickly and formed his fists ready to fight. "Hold on, Giovanni! I am Thalia!" I said to him. His breathing became slow, and his eyes calmed down. "I thought you're an enemy," he said. "I will become your enemy once you broke the small ja

Giovanni is smiling nervously to me as I look at him directly into his eyes. "Hey, Mom!" he greeted his mother and kissed her cheeks. He pinched his daughter's cheeks. "Hello, to my beautiful baby girl," he said. While on the other hand, his father is laughing at him. "How's work, Giovanni?" he asked his son. "Father, with all due respect, kindly remove Mr. De los Frias on the list of investors?" he said and sounded like he was stressed. His father creased his forehead and turn into serious mode. "Why? What happened?" he asked. Giovanni loosened his neck tie. "He's a pain in the ass. He keeps on asking for the whole detailed of the investments when we gave him enough," he complained. "That's what a businessman does, Giovanni. He's an investor in our company therefore, introduced me to him and I'll be the one to face him," his father said and he looks like relieved. "Thank you, Father!" he said. I arched my eyebrow when he walked towards me. "Hello, to my beautiful wife," he said

I was startled when I saw Freya standing in front of our room, Giovanni woke up earlier than me and he went to his office already. “Good morning, Mrs. Brickser,” she greeted me and I nodded at her. “Same here. Just call me Thalia,” I told her and her eyes were shining. “Okay, Thalia!” she said and I nodded. She moved when I got out of the room. “Where’s Giovanna?” I asked her. I am still worried and do not trust her because I haven’t received any information from Silver. “She’s still sleeping, Thalia. I came here because Sir Giovanni asked me to ask you if you need anything," she said and I nodded. "Just be with Giovanna, that’s all I need. I can manage myself,” I firmly said. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. I took a step towards Giovanna’s room. I found my daughter sleeping peacefully on the top of the bed with pillows around her. I kissed her forehead and fixed her blanket. “Sshhh...” I said as I patted her small and cute thigh because she moved a little bit. I found

I left my daughter in Freya’s care for a while because I need to submit the report I reviewed and if it is approved by the CEO, they will push through the budget for the new project. I went inside the elevator and fixed myself with the help of the elevator’s mirror. My hair is in a tight and sleek ponytail. The elevator opened and I went outside, my heels were creating a sound on the tiled floor. “Good morning, Mrs Brickser,” his secretary greeted me. I nodded with a smile to him. “Ma’am, the CEO strictly commanded that he shouldn’t be disturbed at this moment,” he said to me and my eyebrows cocked. “Why? Is he in a private meeting?” I asked him curiously. Giovanni only issues this kind of situation when there’s an important meeting or he doesn’t want to be disturbed at all. I walked towards the waiting area, it is beside the secretary’s table. “Actually...there was a woman who came and they are currently talking Ma’am,” he answered. My brows furrowed in curiosity. Who is she? I st

I walked towards the hallway, and I met Silver. “Hello, Thalia. Does your husband have a plan on eating his dinner?” he asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders. “Ask him,” I replied. He was surprised but didn’t speak. At least he knew how to read the atmosphere. I went straight to my daughter’s room, and she was drinking her milk. “I will sleep here tonight, Freya,” I told her, and she nodded. “I’ll sleep on the sofa,” she told me. I went to Giovanna and kissed her cheek. “Mommy will sleep beside you tonight,” I happily informed her. Freya didn’t ask why I was sleeping here, and that’s what I am thankful for. At midnight, I unexpectedly felt thirsty for water, and there was no pitcher or bottled water. I don’t have a choice but to go into the kitchen to get water to drink. I carefully walked so I wouldn’t disturb their sleep. The lights were dimmed. That’s why I do not worry about being tripped off somewhere. I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard two people talking. Giovanni

My whole body calmed down when I finished bathing in warm water, I felt relaxed. I decided to clean our room because I haven’t cleaned it, someone is maintaining the cleanliness of this house but I do not allow someone to intrude on our room. This is our safest place and I do not allow anyone to enter it aside from us. I started changing our curtains, bedsheets, and pillowcases. I know this type of housework because I live alone and I do every household chore. While cleaning under our bed, a picture caught my attention and due to my curiosity, I got it. My body went cold my throat constricted and my mind went blank. It’s a photo of him and his ex-fiancé whom I thought died. My fist formed into close tight. I am not going to tear this photo instead I will show it him what I have found. I finished cleaning the room and I poured everything into it that’s why it turned out clean and maintained. I took a deep sigh as I felt my exhaustion from it. I am sitting on a bean bag that I bought

"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
