I didn't know if it was the effect of the alcoholic that I had taken earlier but my knees started feeling weak. The desire to let loose suddenly became stronger.As I walked near the main bar, Marco started following me.“Ma'am don't you think it's best you go home?” He asked, in a small tone. In fact it was more like a suggestion. I knew he was just trying to avoid his boss' wrath and I was trying to have some fun.I shrugged, “no, I don't wanna go home.” And there was nothing wrong about that if you ask me. A girl just gotta have some fun.Giving up, he raised his hands in mock surrender and disappeared. I loved that.Getting to the bar, I ordered for a shot of alcohol and another. I knew I should have stopped at some point but I kept going because it really feel relaxing to my soul andbI felt myself reaching a sweet high that I hadn't reached in a long time.Soon, Tomasso waltzed to the bar, his form blurry as his doe eyes widened like that of a doll. It was funny sight and I could

The moment we managed to get out from the bar, we practically pushed ourselves into the car, ignoring the confused faces around us.Our raced breath melded into each others as Marco turned in the key into the ignition. “We don't really have to race, I don't think he'll be able to get a hold of us.” Marco stated, his voice steady.Tomasso still scared, spoke. “We don't know if he came alone so we have to leave as soon as possible.”“If he came with the others they would have gotten a hold of us.” Marco interjected, glancing at him briefly as we curved into the road. “That means your mom would be in danger too!”“Oh shit.” Tomasso panicked. “You have to stop the damn car now. He might hurt her.” “You're right.” Marco reversed the car to the route leading to the bar.Unable to catch my breath, I spoke breathlessly. “So what happens to me while you all go in?”They glanced at each other as though they had forgetten that I was in the car with them earlier.“We should have dropped you hom

Marco glanced at me at the backseat before responding.I nodded, giving him a go ahead.“I'd appreciate if you respond to me in honesty.” The corp urged calmly but firmly.“Yes we are.” I said, calmly, trying to sweep my tension under the carpet. “Any problem?”“Actually no.” He replied. “But you have to come with us.” He pointed towards the corps van.“What?!” Marco exclaimed, his voice rising with my tension. “Have we been apprehended?”“Not in the slightest.” The cop guy smiled. “Me Stefano Carlo have ordered this for your safety.”I puffed a relieved a exhaled breath as a tired smile made its way to my lips.“What about our car?” Marco asked, his voice shaky. I knew the mention of his boss' name was scaring him because he had defaulted a rule. I wasn't going to allow Stefano punish him for my own mistake, I had assured him countless times but I guess he still didn't believe.“We'll take care of it.” He answered and gave a curt nod. “This has to done quickly so please could you kin

The moment I opened my eyes, I felt the sensation of Stefano's finger's grazing on my neck.“You're awake.” His soft voice, his eyes red.“Yeah.” I replied, attempting to scan the environment. I was in his room.I coughed while trying to sit upright. “Easy.” He said as he assisted me.“Maria, get her some water.” He ordered before looking back at me with deep concern in his eyes.“How are you feeling?” He asked. “You fainted the moment you stepped out of the car.” He answered.“Damn.” I wanted to say but my voice came out as a whisper.I rubbed my forehead trying to remember the events that had happened. In that moment, everything seemed foggy but I could remember going to Tomaso's mother's bar opening, Stefano leaving me at the venue…Marco urging me to go home.The memories came in little by little and now I could remember all of them.I sighed. “Where is Tomasso?” I asked, my voice croaky.“He's fine.” Stefano exhaled. “He's currently at the hospital, he was injured.”My heart sk

I honestly think I didn't hear him correctly.My brain struggled to process the information about Tomasso mother's death.I shook my head, pressing my hands together, trying to still myself.Before I could control myself, tears started streaming down my cheeks. I gazed at my husband, hoping he'd somehow tell me he was just being sarcastic. But with the sad expression on his face, I knew this will never be a joke and I'd have to accept her death.“How, how did this happen?” I asked, wiping my eyes with my bare hands.Stefano handed me support and I cleaned my eyes. He regarded me with a calm look, “I don't know honestly, but I'm certain Robin killed her knowing that will ruin Tomasso and probably bend him to do what they want.”“Ridiculous.” I spat out, sniffing my nose.“That's why he has been arrested.” Stefano chuckled darkly.As much as that piece of information was supposed to make me feel better, it didn't do much knowing that she would never come back to life. I sighed. “You a

But as I bathed, I couldn't stop thinking about that dream.Maybe thjs time, my dream didn't mean anything. It materialized as a product of thinking about her before my sleep? So my subconscious played a conversation in my head.As much as I wanted to believe the dream held nothing so I could save myself the stress of deciphering the meaning, I knew the dream held meaning, like all my other dreams.What could she have possibly wanted to tell me? Maybe if she had stayed alive a little longer, she could have told me about it herself.Now her death hit more. I held my chest under the shower as I felt a sharp pain. If I could feel the pain like this, I wondered how Tomasso would feel when he learns of his mother's death.Perhaps he knew already. But the pain would become anew when he wakes up this morning. His mother's death pained me on all levels because I knew how Tomasso used to talk about his mother and how he wanted the best for her.Now she was now she was no where to be found. At

“What?!” I let out a sharp screamStefano tore his gaze from his gaze from the doctor and stared at me, holding my hands and trying to put me in place.“Please calm down.” He said calmly, cleaning the the tears that flowed from my eyes.“Doctor isn't there anything we could do to help him regain his memory faster?” He asked.The doctor shook his head. “Unfortunately no, we can only administer drugs to him but we can't ultimately decide the efficiency of the drug as it differs from person to person.”“I don't understand what you're talking about? Explain in simple terms. If you know you'll keep confusing us, we better take him somewhere else.” I ranted, losing my Patience.”“You need to calm down, madam.” He urged with that practised smile I wished I could wipe off his features. I didn't know what was amusing him.“All I'm saying is that we can only give drugs but I can give any time frame with which he'll regain. It differs from person to person and the situation involved.

I called Marco to accompany me to my father's house while Stefano stayed with Tomasso in the hotel room.I saw an opportunity to ask Marco a few questions.“Did he remember you?” I glanced at him through the rearview mirror, he seemed tired. “Not exactly but at least he is comfortable around me. No matter how hard I tried to remember him of our past, he was always confused so I let it be. At first I thought it was one of his gimmicks, but soon it became more real than I expected.”I sighed. This was a lot to take in. “So he hasn't asked about his mother?”“He did. After explaining myself to him, he then asked about his parents.”“What was your response?” I leaned off my seat.He shrugged. “I found a way to deflate the conversation because I didn't think it was wise to tell him anything.”‘Good.” I commended his wisdom.“Thank you.” He replied.“So how about we just keep it cool for now? Show lhim care but don't reveal too much information about him?” “I'm game.” He replied.-When h

“I can't bear this loss.” He announced as he held his chest and stared at me.“Who was she to you?” I dropped the question I had had on my mind the whole time. I knew they had an affair but was she his official girlfriend? Side piece? Did they have a child together that late died or something?I had so many questions but I wasn't sure if they had answers that would be given to me today.But first I had to try.“She was my uhm..” he started then sighed.“Your what?” I probed. “She didn't get to finish what she was saying in my dreams. She said you were supposed to tell me everything.” “She did say that in a dream?” He asked, probably trying to wrap his head around all of it. “Yes she did. She showed up in my dreams after she died which was really strange.”“We had a conversation just before the bar opening. We spoke about whether to tell you or him but we weren't sure yet.”My heart started beating fast. “Who is him?” I didn't know why for some weird reasons, my heart spiked up at th

I'm sorry.” He apologized for the umpeteenth tjme, “we were honestly going to tell you.”“Then why didn't-” I stopped just before I could continue my sentence. “We just-” he started. “I don't know. I just thought maybe you'll hate me more? Finding out that your mother had been right about everything.”“I've always knew she was right. Tomasso's mother wasn't the only woman you cheated with and that was clear from the onset.”He hands flew to his head, disappointment. “True.” He agreed without denying as I expected.“How can I make thing right my princess?” He asked and I shook my head.This wasn't the time he was talking about making things right and to be honest I was tired of having that conversation with him.Each time he tried to make things right, he ended up making things worst and again, it angered me. Also I felt foolish whenever my heart shatters from his misbehaviours.“Please, how can I make things right?” He asked again.“Just do nothing.” I answered and a flicker of supri
