"What's with you Gordon? Are you sick?" Irritatingly hissed while sitting on the hospital bed leaning my back on the headrest of the bed.
"When did you received the card that you mentioned to me?" He ask instead which made me creased my forehead.
"What's the big deal with that card?" I confusingly question him.
"Your safety, young lady" he seriously replied.
I tilted my head staring at his straight looking face. He look so serious, serious than his usual facial reaction.
My face turn stoic as my lips form into thin line.
"Is that card a threat?" I hesitantly ask him.
I gulp while staring at Gordon intently wanting to understand everything. I am analyzing the situation, him and his actions.
I shook my head and puff out a breath when he didn't answer me.
"The day when I got shot, I saw it inside my locker with a small star shape flower" I narrated trying to remember what exactly happen that day before Vicenzo came to pick
"S-Saint?" I tap his left cheek lightly but he just groan softly not wanting to be disturb "Did you hear me ?" I ask referring to what I said a while ago. "I was serious about that" I added."You're thinking too much wife" he whisper in monotonous voice.I puckered my lips with what he said. Of course he will say that. He will divert my thoughts. I mentally sigh and just pressed my lips together.All married couple experience this kind of barrier. If noise is consider as a barrier, silence is much worse because it leads into misunderstanding. Married couple, its either they married because they love each other or they were just force to do it also experience like this. There are things that we intend to keep to ourselves only, things that we think not necessary to be discussed between you and your partner forgetting the fact that marriage is not just bonded by law, love or promise but also with trust.But in our case, I understand him. I understand if he
"Did your father hurt you?" Vicenzo ask in modulated voice that made me glance at him while sitting here in the backseat just beside me.My brows furrowed and I bent down my head to look at his face clearly making sure that I wasn't mistaken when I saw him clenched his jaw as if he is controlling his anger.He's angry?"Why would Dad hurt me?" I ask back instead of answering no ignoring his clenching jaw.My father will never hurt me physically. I am certain with that."Because you were stubborn" he hissed and trained his eyes on me.I pursed my lips and narrowed my eyes. I am indeed stubborn, but that's not enough reason for Dad to hurt me physically. Could someone do that?"Dad will never hurt me physically" I sigh when the reaction of his face didn't change.He still look strict and snob with his raised eyebrow."Good. Because I will never spare him once he lay his finger on you even though he's your father" he hissed
"Young Lady you can't-"I raised my hand to stop Gordon from talking causing him to sigh. I ark my brows and cross my arms before I raised my feet in front of me a little."I'm just going to use my feet to lift body not my hands and arms" I told him a bit annoyed.He been following me around forbidding me to enter the dance room and that is really annoying. I know myself, I'm just going to do some basic steps without exerting much effort to my right arm but he's not believing me!Am I that stubborn?"Even so, you need to be careful. Your wound might open again" he insist.I breath out and shut my eyes close calming myself because I'm so close to shout. Vicenzo is not here and that's a relief, but Gordon is like a cctv camera that keep on monitoring my every actions.My goodness.I open my eyes and exhale deeply "I'm just going to do some basic steps, I'm going to use the barre for support too and lastly I'm not going to do some
After almost three hours inside the dance room, Gordon suddenly enter without a warning causing my forehead to creased. I watch his reflection on the mirror as he walk towards the small cassette and turn off the music earning a frown from me."You should knock the door first" I budge him displease with his rude interruption "Have you forgotton your manners now Gordon?" I sarcastically remark sounding like a spoiled brat bitch.But instead feeling intimidated with my bitchy attitude he walk towards me and handed me a bottled water."You've been practicing exactly two hours, fifty minutes and twenty six seconds. You should stop now and rest young lady" he said in straight looking face causing my brows to ark."Seriously?" I unbelievably utter wanting to laughed.Did he just-"And I knocked the door three times, but you were too focus and the music is too loud reason why you didn't heard me" he reason out.The irritation I felt instantly
"What are you thinking?"I back to my senses and bent out my head to give enough distance between our head. The sly smile on his face is a sign of something that is not good.Instead of answering his question I sigh and eyed him from head to toe back to his face."Why are you here already?" I inquire.His sly smile fades off and replace by a light scowl on his face before he leaned down to kissed me on my lips swiftly and sitted to the chair next to me.I pressed my lips together and tighten my grip on the fork I'm holding."Answer me first" he demanded sounding a bit impatient "I ask you first flower" he stated precisely.I pursed my lips because of what he said and glance at him quickly. His brows is now furrowed.He change his mood that fast?"I was thinking to visit Yaya Adelphi after we visit Mom" I whisper forc
Days went by as if there's no accident happen in Vicenzo's company. What suspicious is, I never heard any news about the said tragic event and there is also no police authority who came to our house and ask for my statement regarding what happen since I am the only victim.I don't want to think that Vicenzo is not taking it seriously because I saw how worried he is the first time I woke up after the operation on my right arm. The distress on his face, looking so tensed and unsettled while silently panicking is enough for me to conclude that my husband was so worried for me.Its just that, I'm wondering why there is no investigation happen to find out the culprit and the main reason why they always targeting me. I am worried for myself and for Vicenzo. As what I said to him, I don't want him to do something that is against the law.I honestly wanted to ask Vicenzo about it to clear my mind but I'm doubting if I should. It seems like he is working on it in his own
I instantly unfasten my seatbelt when the car halted. I was like a kid who's so excited to step out the car but Vicenzo grip my arm stopping me from opening the door beside me."What?" I ask puzzled with what he did."Wait until they finish checking the area" he authoritatively said and glance to the car window beside me.I follow his gaze and my mouth form into an 'o' when I saw Boise and those guards roamed around the cemetery as if they were looking into something."Okay" I mumble and slowly lean my back on the passenger seat.I don't exactly know how long they were securing the area, I was just dragged back to my reverie when Boise knock on the car window beside Vicenzo."We already checked the vicinity Boss" I heard Boise announced in snappy voice after Vicenzo rolled down the car window.Without a word, Vicenzo nod his head and open the door beside him. I did the same thing, and I immediately felt the heat of the sun on my skin
"What happen?" I heard Calcifer ask Vicenzo in low serious voice far from tone I usually heard from him.He is always like that when him and Vicenzo talking in private."Where the fucking shit did you fucking go dimwit?" Vicenzo growl like a mad man glaring Calcifer like he wanted to kill him.I bit my lower lip while hiding. Obviously I'm eavesdropping with the conversation of my husband and Calcifer. I just can't take it anymore, I know there is something wrong and they are hiding it from me. Although I am aware with that I didn't dare to intervene because its not my business and it's so obvious that Vicenzo doesn't want me to know.But because of what happen lately including the ambushed, my curiosity grows like a cancer in my veins. I just can't ignore it anymore..."I tailed Nicola Ribera" Cal answered with no hint of mischievous on his face "He's in the country" he added.The menacing look on Vicenzo's face doubled as his eyes darken t
