Giovanni? It should be him, or someone who left something here on this floor. I hope this person is true now.However, my mind's saying and hoping that person to be him, to be Giovanni."Hey? Is there someone out there? Please help me! I have been locked up here in the stock room! Help! Hello? Please! Take me out of here!" I did all my best to make that a best shot and take the attention of whoever that person was. I clearly heard footsteps so there must be someone. It took a few minutes but there was no response, I was losing control until I could not take it anymore and cried. I bit my lips to suppress the noise I was making. In the end, I am still that little girl, Ariadne who was fond of tears, who liked crying whenever she was hurt. I thought because of the things that happened to me, I can manage to have the courage to fight these tears and not let other people see my weak side anymore. I had been through many experiences that can make me strong but still, I remained a crybaby.
"Ariadne, are you still awake? Don't panic. We will get you out of there. Please step away for a moment." I thought he had not come back yet. Giovanni did not even say a word to me after a while of waiting for Manong Evan and I thought he just left me here. I can't do anything just to sit here and wait. Because I know they will come and save me. I need to trust them this time."Thank you, Manong Evan." I said before following what he said. I don't know if Giovanni is still here, but I hope he was.After I walked away from the door, I heard a banging sound outside of the stock room, he was already breaking the chain. I can hear the sound of it. Who is the person who needs to lock me here? I waited until the chain broke successfully, and as soon as the door opened I saw his face. Giovanni's face who was just waiting for what would happen. The moment I got released, I can't help but to have teary eyes once again. I thought I would stay inside until tomorrow."You are safe now." Giovanni
"N-no…" I said and bit my lips. I saw his eyes, his beautiful eyes looking all over my face. He can now see my sacred face. I gulped when I saw his cold stare at me, I can't look directly at him, I just can't take it. I can now feel his breath, we are so close to each other. And it's making me conscious about how he see me now. It's so close that my eyes can see his whole face. How can be this man don't have pores? He is making me jealous about his skin. It was white and clear. Even me, a girl will be insecure about how I look when I am with him. He was just a beautiful man.Before my mind could fly away and be taken by this demon. I tried my best to pull myself up. He immediately supported my back. I clean my clothes using my hands without taking a glance at him. I know he is still looking at me. "Are you afraid?" He asked. He was still holding the gun. I shook my head. "No." I said with confidence and raised my head to meet his gaze. He smirked, of course, he knew that I was lying
My feet froze as I couldn't move my body. I thought I already felt most of it earlier, but there is something more than that. That fear was nothing more than now. "I finally got a chance to see you this close, woman." I tried my best to step forward, but I couldn't. There is a long wound in his eyes, and it was a cross wound and it nearly damaged his eyesight, it left a scar that made him more scary. He started walking towards me. I can't do anything to run away, as if I am paralyzed by his stare. Why is this happening to me? Why does my life need to be this cruel? "W-who…who a-are you?" I asked with all the courage left in me. I really don't want to hear his voice but I want to take some time asking him anything so he could not kill me right away. That was just the best thing I could think of right now. "I am no one but a lesson for him." Him? Is he referring to Giovanni? If yes, I am not a thing for him! Why do they want me?"W-who…who a-are you talking a-about?" I remained aski
"You never cared for my feelings, didn't you?" She asked me once I was done closing the door. I smiled awkwardly to show her that I am fine, but that doesn't change her expression. She started walking towards me, slowly getting closer. I can hear her breath, I know she's pulling herself back to a calmer one. She will question me, of course, but before doing that I might be disable. She stopped in front of me so that I can now clearly see her face. Even though she was mad, her face was still that pretty one that every man would fall for."What did he do to you? Your boss? Is he even letting you eat? Or giving you some time to rest? Look at the clock, it's already time to rest and get your strength back for tomorrow but here you are, still working at this kind of time. Are you still a human? You did not sign for this. I told you, if you were having a problem with your work just stop, I can handle the bills, I am working. I can't just let you stress yourself in that kind of environment wh
I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I did not get the chance to stop it last night as I was so sleepy after eating. When I looked at the wall clock, it's still 8am in the morning. I hoped to have more sleep since it's my day off today, but then I remembered that Haria wants to spend this whole day with me so I must get up and do my morning routines.Once I was done, I went downstairs and saw Haria preparing breakfast for us. "Good morning! I thought you would wake up at lunch time, however I cooked for breakfast. Let's go and eat!" She greeted me. I walked towards her and gave her a peck on the cheeks, then sat in front of her. "Where's Gray?" I asked. I can't see him here. "He went out early for his work. You know what? He has been telling me about someone they were trying to have a business proposal with. You know his father is a businessman right? And he wants to help him for that matter sinde his father is skeptical on meeting the business partner. He told us he is not just a nor
"Finally! We are here!" Haria stretched her arms once we got out of the car.I smiled while inhaling the fresh air. I guess we are lucky because there are no people here yet, we will have the time to go everywhere without anyone. "There are no guests yet? Cool, we can have the whole place alone for a while." Haria said and opened the door on the backseat. I helped her take our bags and then we both went to the entrance. But before we could finally get inside, the guard stopped us."Why?" Haria asked, her eyebrows lifted above since the guard suddenly went to block us."I am sorry ladies, but the whole resort has been reserved for today. We are not accepting any guests now. Please just come back tomorrow." The guard told us. Shoot. I did not think about that, that's why there are no people here yet. It was reserved."Oh, okay. We will just go back—" I got cutted by Haria when she stomped her feet on the ground, which made the guard look at her with horror on his face."No!" She yelled.
I don't know what my face looks like right now, but I am sure it's not good. Instead of having a one day, or maybe a half day of vacation and rest yet I saw him again. For sure he will tell me to work for him since I am already here. What a day. Why do I need to always bump into this man? Is this really a curse for me? What did I do wrong in the first place?I sighed and followed him as he said. Gray and Haria went directly to the hotel to tell her where we will stay for a while. While Giovanni kept on the wall, I didn't know where he was planning to go. I just followed him until we reached one door. What will we do here? I asked myself. I am not familiar with this place and we passed so many ways and turns until here.When he opened the door. I saw many figurines above the table and they were all made of gold! How can these things be placed here? They can be stolen by a thief. Maybe I am one of them. I smiled because of my thoughts, I am being a bad woman because of these beautiful t
