View More"Where have you been?" I flinch and rooted on my spot upon hearing that familiar hardening tone of voice.
My eyes slowly widened seeing the familiar silhouette of a man, sitting on the dark corner of my room. I blink my eyes not believing what my eyes making me see.
He's here? What is he doing here?
"I wanna do bad things with you my flower, I been waiting for you" he said in low husky tone just enough for me to heard him.
I didn't able to answer, still surprised.
I narrowed my eyes to see him clearly, and I wasn't mistaken as I saw his lips curved into a malicious smile. I immediately step back, realizing that it was really him.
It's definitely him. I'm not hallucinating.
"Did cat got your tongue honey?" He playfully ask me, hearing the manly tone of his natural foreign accent.
"V-Vicenzo..." I whisper still startled with his presence.
A dangerous smirked form in his lips again as he stand on his seat. I automatically take a step backward for the second time seeing his sudden move.
"Ah... sound so nice hearing my name rolled in your sweet tongue flower, but still I preferred to be called in a holy way baby" He groaned removing his tie .
I gulped and slightly bit my lower lip, I'm now seeing him clearly.
With heavy breath I carefully eyed him as he finally remove his black coat. I just realize that he's wearing a corporate attire. My mind suddenly wonder where he has been? I haven't seen him these past few days.
"Why still standing there? Mind if you help me?" He utter sheepishly making me blink my eyes again.
What?!
He tilted his head "Still scared of me?" He asked making me lift my head with my chin held high.
Automatically, I met his piercing gaze "No! Definitely not!" I quickly replied afraid that he might intimidate me more .
He chuckle lowly still sound so manly in my ears. I licked my lower lip because of that and shook my head as I felt a little shame of myself.
Did I sound so defensive? I hope not.
"Come here, let me feel your skin then" he said lowly after a long silence.
I lift my head and seriousness is visible in his deep charcoal grey eyes that drowns me every time I look at him. And I was lost again.I was lost with his stare.
Realizing something, my voice came out on it's own.
"You... you look worn out" I utter out of nowhere feeling concern while staring at his tired looking face.
"Yes baby, I am. So come closer and let me regain my strength" he replied in controlled voice.
My heart skip a bit, probably because of nervousness. I'm still intimidated with his presence that shouting dominance and power.
With the last ounce of bravery, I dare to step closer to him. I dare to step close to the man who can kill someone in an instant, a man who doesn’t even know the word mercy, a dangerous man who save me.
Walking close to him is just like entering to the lions den. Dangerous, very hazardous, very threatening.
I stop .
Out of nowhere I stop when I was about three steps away from him. Perhaps my consciousness is forbidding me, sending warning that it would be life threatening if I continue this. This connection that I had with him.
But what can I do?
"Closer" he roughly said sound so impatient.
I licked my lower lip trying to maintain my eye contact with him "I- I have something to tell you-."
I didn't able to finished my sentence when he pulled me closer to him and firmly grip my waist to steady my position.
My eyes widened with that sudden move and shocked is evident on my face, but his lips move forming an amusing smile as he lean closer to me giving me slight kisses on my temple.
"Shocked?" He whisper in low raspy voice feeling his breath on my skin.
I blink my eyes three times. That was fast!
Slightly, I move my eyes to glance him and pouted my lips as I grip his firm biceps "You startled me" I whisper.
"Pfft should I say sorry?" He teasingly ask me concealing his chuckle while showering me with his soft kisses on my right cheek.
"Can I demand that?" I retorted and this time he didn't able to hide his laughed.
He laughed lowly pulling me closer to him, closing the little distance between us.
I sighed feeling the comfort that he gives me. This is more scary than what I imagine. Indeed life threatening.
I shouldn't feel comfortable with him yet here I am, feeling safe and secure with his mere touch and kisses. And I'm afraid that sooner or later I will betrayed myself. I will let my guards down because of the comfort I felt with him. This is what I fear, because this feeling is dangerous.
It can kill me...
"Not scared anymore?" He inquire as his lips travel down to my jaw.
I bit my lower lip. He's getting touchy again which doesn’t complement to his rough facade.
"I never get scared" I firmly replied pressing my lips together.
He stop what his doing and level his face to me.
"Uh huh?" He hissed playfully provoking me moving his brows up and down.
I wanted to laughed because it doesn't suit him. He looks so dominant and menacing and yet he's raising his eyebrow like a freaking gay ?
Instead of smiling to hide my giggle, I licked my lower lip and furrowed my eyebrow.
"You don't believe me" I mumble which he slowly shake his head still looking at me seriously .
His stoic serious face is his natural facial expression. Although it might be nothing for him, this mere emotionless face of him is already screaming with roughness, unyielding power, authority and dominance that people will doubt to cross their paths with him.
But despise with that menacing look, this man is unlawfully gorgeous, no wonder women are swooning over his feet .
"I am" he spoke and straighten my creased forehead "Stop creasing your forehead. I believe you of course" he added.
I mentally rolled my eyes. He was just creasing his forehead a while ago and I didn't even make a comment about it.
"I know what your thinking" he mutter under his breath sound so rough and harsh yet in controlled tone .
He's not mad nor annoyed. He looks perfectly fine with that serious face.
"I need to take shower and change my clothes" I told him to change the topic .
But instead of letting me go, he snake his arm around my waist resting his firm hand on the slender part of my back and lean closer on my neck sniffing my scent.
"Hey" I called him trying to pushed him away.
"Later" he groaned and guide me towards our bed.
He sit on the edge and guide me to sit on his lap facing him with my legs wide open while he was in the middle.
"I miss my black swan, my flower, my honey baby" he softly whisper with a little mixture of his hard tone that become his natural level of voice.
I pouted, this is not so him.
"I will sit on the bed, you look worn out and surely you're tired and I'm heavy-"
"Can I kiss you?" He bluntly ask me cutting me off with my sentence while eyeing me with his hooded eyes .
I stilled and blink my eyes. Did he just...
"You're asking" I unbelievably stated.
He intently gaze on my eyes as his adams apple move "I'm trying to be respectful to you flower. I'm really trying" he mutter in hard serious tone, looking at me with sincerity on his eyes.
A smile curved in my lips instantly. I guess I should accept the fact that I'm going to die soon, because the tie that we have together is getting toughed and thicker.
I lean closer to him "What do my Saint Vicenzo want then?" I whisper under my breath making him grin mischievously.
"A dance of a black swan, can you do that for me baby?" He said in low husky tone .
I carefully touch his arm and his body instantly get tensed and went rigid when I start massaging the firm muscle of his chiseled arm feeling the hotness of his skin despite the clothes his wearing before I reach him to kiss the side of his lips.
"We're not going to play honey, just a reminder " he impatiently hissed. "And damn! Don't make me lose my patience flower. I wanted to respect you" he continue gritting his teeth with clenching jaw .
I laughed and shake my head.
Short tempered Saint Vicenzo Santorini. Don't be fool by his name, because he's no a saint neither an angel. He's a typical mafia heir who will do everything to prove that he's Vicenzo Santorini, a man who will conquer everything just to win a battle.
Svanna Rose Zeneca-SantoriniWhen Vicenzo said that 'this is now over' he was wrong. That is just the end of our first journey together and the beginning of another battle that we must conquer together. During that last fight with Flacara Mafia, everything changes. Gordon died... Mom killed him intentionally. I couldn't accept it. But I need to be strong because he told me that he wanted to see me rising from the spotlight.I thought being the prima ballerina is the peak of my dreams. But then I realize that I just wanted to have Vicenzo stay with me the rest of our life. I don't need to be the prima ballerina of Zeneca Ballet or to be the white swan of Swan Lake play. Because I am already the prima ballerina to my own story and I just have to recognize that the main character doesn't just always play at the center. She could be a black swan like me.And this is my last dance, my last dance as the black swan. Because
When you thought everything is okay, reality will suddenly slapped you real hard- that no matter how good everything was, bad things is still right behind the corner waiting for the right time to strike again and mess your life again.It's always like that. You're a happy and then you're sad later. If you're sad now, you're happy later. It is a continuous cycle, a very redundant scenario. It was like a story that has a same plot but with different lines. It so fuck up!Before I end up in this kind of mess, in this kind of danger- everything is just good compare now. I have a peaceful and quite life away from trouble. I know it's boring because I spent all my life in dancing isolating myself from the people around me.I don't have a good relationship to my father, we don't usually talk, we don't even eat a meal together. I am not that welcome to the eyes of Mommy Adie even to Aliah, my haft sister. I was the black swan of the Zeneca family. I exist but only as th
"Where did you go?"I lift my head and I saw Vicenzo looking at me seriously. His rugged face is screaming with annoyance. He doesn't look pleased and I know the reason why.But instead of being scared with his unwelcoming greeting, I walk fast towards him and hug him tightly. I felt him stilled and his body went rigid with our sudden contact. But later after I felt his arm wrap around my waist and possessively pulled me even more to him.He's sitting on the single couch while I'm sitting on the top of his lap facing him with my legs wide open. Our position is quite awkward but I don't really care, I feel bad because of what happen."Tell me what happen?" He whisper while caressing my back.I sniff and buried my face on his neck "I miss Mom..." I whisper.He sigh "That's why you sneak out?" He utter in a controlled tone of voice.I pulled away and face him. His brows furrowed when he saw the dry tears in my face but later on his face
"No..." I shake my head and close my eyes "No...this is not true. I am just hallucinating. This is not true" I mumble to myself and pulled my hair.There's no way my Mom is alive after all these years. I always visit her grave, I always visit her whenever I miss her. Whenever I felt like everything seems against me. Whenever I felt alone..."You are not hallucinating Chèrie," Gianni said behind me "Tita Vanda is alive. She's alive Svanna Rose. The reason why Tito Roman doesn't want you to visit her grave is because she was never been buried-""No!" I scream, shaking my head "Mom is dead! She's not my Mom!" I exclaimed crying while looking at the woman in front of me who look exactly like me."Tito Romano never visit her grave, it's because he know that Tita Vanda never die in the first place-""Stop it Gianni!" I cut him off, breathing heavily while my eyes is clouded with tears.I shook my head and step back. My heart is beating fast
Let's meet...I close my eyes and took a deep breath. Wearing a black longsleeve top and black gap fit leggings I sneak out to the backyard of the mansion. It took me almost ten minutes before I successfully climb the tall wall that surrounded the mansion. I actually make sure that Vicenzo men is done checking the area before I sneak out.I honestly don't know why do I need to sneak out. But then my instinct is telling me that Vicenzo will not let me if I ask him to meet Gianni knowing that Calcifer and Greco has a suspicion to my cousin.I'm stubborn, I know that. But I really need to do this. I don't understand what does he mean by his message. Mom is alive? And he doesn't want Vicenzo to be my husband? That's absurd! That's crazy.I sigh and fix my black cap before I run away, making sure that nobody notice my disappearance. I immediately call a cab and give the address to the driver who keep on glancing at me because of my weirdness. Oh yeah,
I am crying non-stop, I don't know what to do. Dra. Mhalia is trying to reach me out and talk to me but I couldn't open my mouth to speak back. The image of Piato being shot in his shot as he slowly fell on the floor keep on rolling back inside my head. It keep on replaying like a broken movie tape. It won't stop bugging me. I am guilty, scared, and anxious."Mrs. Santorini..." Dra. Mhalia whisper, wanting to get my attention.With weary eyes, I turn my gaze at her. She's sitting on the chair beside my bed wearing the same white lab gown. I sniff when she smile at me, as if she's telling me that everything is alright without uttering a word."W-Where's Vicenzo?" I stuttered.I'm the first one who break the sound of my soft cries. I brush off those dry tears in my face. Worries is very visible in my eyes and I couldn't hide it. How will I do that if I am eating my guilt. I am asking them what happen to Piato but none of them gave me an assuring answer. The
