Morning came just like a blink of an eye. I didn't sleep well because everytime I tried to close my eyes, the image of myself sitting on the backseat of the car start to flash on my mind and what's more terrifying is the sound of gunshots that keeps on repeating inside my head.
I sigh in distress while eyeing myself in the mirror. I just finished taking a bath and I'm now changing my clothes because I need to attend my ballet class for today.
"Svanna" I flinch
And immediately pulled the zipper on the back of my jean short as I heard Vicenzo's footfalls towards me.
"Let me help you" he said in deep baritone voice when he stop behind me.
I awkwardly smile to him and nod my head letting him do it while I'm watching through his reflection on the mirror.
My mind wonder. Where is he last night? Did he sleep on his office? Or he sleep somewhere else?
"How are you feeling?" He ask me and look at me through the mirror.
His left hand rem
It's almost a week since that incident happen. My wounds are now finally healed, it was not that severe though. Also I can now sleep comfortably and I'm so thankful with that. But the problem is Vicenzo become so paranoid lately. Aside from Gordon and Boise, he added five more men to guard me and somehow I understand this part.But what's confusing and irritating is- he's now calling me from time to time and when I can't answer him because of my ballet class he suddenly gets mad at me and he start giving me a cold treatment. Like seriously? Is he expecting me to sooth him just because of that?I mentally rolled my eyes remembering Vicenzo's childish attitude. As if I care if he's giving me a cold shoulder. If he can just read my mind, surely he'll be pissed off. Because honestly I just wanted to be casual with him. I don't need him to talk to me every time, to call me from time to time, to know my whereabouts, to act like a strict possessive husband. Skin ship is not n
'I'll die if I tell you'Who will kill her? Vicenzo? That's impossible.I heaved a sigh while staring outside the car window. The sky is dark and gloomy and afraid that it might going to rain soon and that's really odd because the sun was bright and shining yesterday.Dark clouds cover the night sky, there is also no star that sparkling and twinkling under the light from the moon and that's quite disappointing. With my chaos mind right now, it would be nice to stare the sky full of stars to ease my mind.But on the second thought, I wonder if Aliah is serious, or she is just exaggerating it? I bit the inside of my mouth tilting my head and tap my fingers on the car window pulling myself back to the moment I first saw Vicenzo.I admit it, I describe him harshly. I was scared with him because of his intimidating look and unwelcoming facial expression. He's not a typical businessman with a serious personality because he's way rougher and more antagoni
There's no perfect family, I'm aware with that. But I really admire those family who still stick together no matter how difficult the situation is.I live in a very luxurious life, I saw how my father treasure my mother so much. Since I was the only child, they showered with love and affection. But everything change when my Mom died.It seems like my world turn up side down for a meantime and then it suddenly stop spinning, and I was left alone hanging.Revelation about my father's affair explode like a bomb after my mother's wake. I was defenseless, it was so sudden, unpredictable and at the same time impossible. With my very young age, I was able to understand what is happening. I was confused, I feel betrayed. I was denial, I was denying the fact that my loving father dare to cheated my Mom. It was a mixed-up emotions.My mother's death caused me an unbearable pain, and my father shameless decision of marrying his mistress caused me more pain. I thought,
"Okay, let's start this day using the ballet barre" Miss Gisella upon opening the door while clapping her hand.Immediately, we position ourselves to the barre. I am facing Jameson while Aliah is on my back facing another ballerina that I don't remember the name.I'm not good at remembering names because I'm not really that friendly. The only reason why I remember Jameson's name is because I experienced practicing with him when I played the Odile role. I was just new here in Zeneca Ballet after all and it's reasonable enough if I can't memorize all their names."So the posture is really necessary, it's a very redundant reminder. Now do the first position while holding the barre" Miss Gisella instruct which we oblige.I position my feet properly aiming the proper posture of my toes straightening my spine and head. My heels are together with my toes turn out maintaining the straightline of my feet. My arms which is supposedly looks like I'm holding a
After almost an hour on the road the car halted in front of our house. The guard open the gate for us and the car start moving again while Calcifer keep on laughing.Frankly speaking, I was nervous and anxious the whole ride because it seems like Calcifer will going to bump the car on the road's gutter. He wasn't serious at all! I'm freaking out because he was laughing the whole time. I don't even know what I did for him to act weirdly.I will definitely ask Vicenzo not to let Calcifer drive a car. He's not sane."We're here" he announce chuckling a bit.I breath out in relief and release my body from tension I'm feeling a while ago. I was breathing heavily but Calcifer seems like he didn't notice it. He was obviously clueless how much frantic I am on the backseat.He scared the hell out of me and he's so oblivious with that. This man will going to give me a heart attack."This will be the first time and the last time" I whisper tiredly befo
"No more buts. Just stay still and shut up" he strictly demanded with his head back to my shoulder.But I bent down my head to the side to look at his face. And I was transfixed seeing how amazing he looked like up close with his rugged face. "Are you mad?""No" he quickly replied as if he's already expecting me to ask that. "I should be mad right now, you slapped into my face that you wanted an annulment flower. But you see? I'm not shouting nor trying to hurt you"He's holding it back. He's hotheaded but he's good at holding back his anger."I'm not sorry, I don't want this marriage. You know that" I look away.I felt his gray eyes landed on me eyeing me intently so I remain my gaze outside the balcony."I want this marriage" he confessed which took me by surprise. "And I don't need your sorry, what I need is you to listen. You've been breaking my laws flower and I've been tolerating you for a long time. This will be my last warning"
I push the glass door of the coffee shop and step inside. I search Gianni around when suddenly someone held my arm gaining a yelp from me."Hey easy, it's just me Rose" Gianni hurriedly calm me down.I harshly breath out an air and look at him sharply. "You startled me" I exclaimed in a whisper.He flash a gentle smile causing his dimples to get visible and then he put his arm around my shoulder guiding me to walk."I'm sorry" he said in low voice acknowledging his mistake."You better not to do it again, you know how sensitive I am when someone is touching me without a warning" I lecture him.He chuckle sounding a bit guilty while pulling a chair for me before he settle down on the chair across to me."That's why I'm sorry" he smilingly said. "So why do you suddenly want to meet me?"Seeing his eyes with the same shade with mine makes me genuinely happy, because it's one of the best proof that we're family. When Mom died, that
"Vicenzo"He's here? How come? Did... Did Gordon tell him that I'm going to meet Gian?I was about to advance a step towards him despite my stiffened posture when suddenly Gianni grab my arm forbidding me to take even just a single step that made me turn my head on him.Puzzled with what he did. I tilt my head."What are you doing?" I scolded him silently trying to snatched his hand away from me but his grip tighten more earning a low groan of protest from me."Gianni!" I exclaimed but he just glare at me sharply.I was about to pulled my arm from his grip when suddenly Vicenzo held my wrist gently and snatched my arm away from Gian.His familiar manly perfume invade my nostrils causing my face to crinkle. I thought he stop using perfume?Despite with the tension around me, I can't help but to complain as I irritatingly look at Vicenzo who's standing in front of me facing his back."Vicenzo" I called him but then he pull
