'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
"Do not move" I whisper while carefully pressing the coton with alcohol exactly at the corner of his lower lip.He hissed and groan softly so I immediately put away the cotton from him and I start blowing his wound. My goodness, he's such a baby."Stop complaining, it's just a small cut" I said examining the cut on his lower lip.It's not that bad though. Compared Giann- Gianni's wound is much alarming. I can still recall the blood on Gianni's nose. I hope someone is treating his wound right now and he's not overthinking about what happen.I know he's going to ask an explanation about it. And thinking about that possibility makes my head throbbed. I don't know how to explain everything to him."I'm not complaining" Vicenzo replied in low voice that dragged me back to my senses.Really huh? I furrowed my brows not believing him."You were groaning in pain" I point out in stoic face.I stilled when he suddenly chuckle and s
"You don't have a rest day mia signora?"My forehead creased. Rest day?"Yesterday" I answer Calcifer in a matter of fact tone.Yes he's with me. Gordon is on the driver seat silently driving and Calcifer is on the passenger seat throwing me a series of questions.Obviously we're heading to Zeneca Ballet. We're actually almost there."How long is your class today?" He inquire again causing the creased of my forehead deepen.He's been asking a lot since this morning. Aren't he tired? As far as I know, Vicenzo is on a meeting right now regarding the new business proposal and he supposed to be there because he's a lawyer."Seven hours to be exact. Today is Monday" I replied emphasizing the date today.I saw him nod his head so I shrugged my shoulder. I check my wrist watch and after a couple of minutes the car halted in front of Zeneca Ballet. Finally.I unfasten my seatbelt and was about to open the door beside me when Cal
