I fell into silent while breathing calmly. I'm contemplating if I should believe him. The other part of me wants to believe him but the other one still doubting him. I think that doubt is still valid though. We are now living in the world of married couple because of our legal bond. Aside from the deal between him and my father, I can't find another reason for him to marry me.
I was having that kinds of thought when he suddenly pulled away while holding my both arms. I blink my eyes and look at him who's staring at me with his furrowed brows.
"Where's that question came from by the way?" he mutter in clenching jaw.
I pursed my lips and scratch the side of my neck with the way he look at me. I bit the inside of my mouth and shake my head.
"Nothing really..." I whisper in haft truth "I just wanted to divert your thoughts. You look bothered these past few days" I explain smiling slightly.
Instantly the corner of his lips rose up a bit while staring at
It was supposedly time for bed, but here I am staring the opened bedroom curtain touching the cold glass sliding window while wearing a silver grey deep v-neck backless split sweep long gown with glittering diamond beads causing it to glow even in the dark night. While my long hair was french braided into a side bun with silver hair pins and diamond white pearl haircomb. Too fancy for a woman like me...I saw the cloudy night sky pouring a light rain that almost invisible in the eyes scattering a droplets of water on the ground. I feel so cold although I'm just watching over the window."Wife..."I flinch when I heard the familiar baritone voice of Vicenzo. I immediately turn around and I fell into daze when I saw him wearing a fancy black suit and his hair was into messy style while staring at me intently with his soulful piercing charcoal grey eyes. He's handsome, I know. He is sinfully gorgeous but I can't help but to praise him even more."Are we goin
I fell into the floor with my legs shaking. My lips quiver and my tears start to well out from my eyes."I... I h-heard them wrong..." I sobs and cover my face with both of my hands.Their loud conversation in the hallway turns into a whisper of voices that I'm refusing to listen.No... Dad is wrong, he was just mistaken. I can clearly remember those times when Mom used to tell me their love story. It was magical, dramatic and full of dreams. Dad is a tough and decisive CEO who wants to be on the top of everything and Mom was a fragile woman who dreams to dance in the middle of the spotlight. They were both carried by their dreams to each others arm. They were both in love that's why they get married. They face a lot of struggles but they both conquer it together. That's what they told me... or maybe that's what they wanted me to believe?I wrap my arms around my body curling my legs up letting my face burried between my knees. I'm hesitating to move, I'm
"Wife..." he called me in soothing voice but I just shook my head and smile bitterly."I thought Mommy Adeline was the villain- that she made Dad commit adultery and made Dad turn his back on his vows" I puckered my lips and trace my fingers on my Mom's name that was engraved on the tombstone "But it was us all along. It was Mom, it was me. We ruined their supposed family. We ruined Dad's happiness..." I sigh.There I said it... Everything is clear to me now. I just really need to meet my mother for me to think clearly. It would be biased judgement if I won't consider Dad, Mommy Adeline and Aliah. If I would just focused on what I would feel and what Mom's feel about all of these, it would be unfair for them.I licked my lower lip and then I hug my legs. The wind against the bare skin of my face is somehow comforting and Vicenzo beside me is enough for me to feel at ease. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to give him a little trust for me to feel less anxious, less ner
My mouth gape in awe when the car stop. I immediately unfasten my seatbelt and open the door beside me and step out excitedly. My eyes glimmer with amusement seeing the sun light that hits the clear blue ocean creating this crystal lights that glittering like a small beads of diamonds.The bright sunny weather complement the sun-kissed shore, the sound of small ocean waves are like music in my ears making me smile."So this is what it looks like..." I mumble under my breath referring to the beach.Standing under the huge leafy tree while enjoying the ocean strong warm wind, I felt Vicenzo stood beside me. Smilingly, I lift my eyes and glance on him."Do you like it here?" He ask in low voice with a mixture of hardening tone and it makes me smile more."Its my first time going to the beach" I said that made him look at me with creased forehead "Of course I like it here" I continue as the whirling wind stirring my untied long hair."First time
They say the best things in life happen unexpectedly, and that is true. I already proven that today, tonight to be exactly.Sitting across Vicenzo while having a candlelight dinner is beyond my expectations. I mean, I never imagine having a candlelight dinner with him. To someone like him who doesn't even know how to smile gently and yet here I am. Amaze and still in daze with this unexpected dinner."Wife..." Vicenzo called me and reach my hand on the table wanting to get my attention.I lick my lower lip and turn my gaze on him giving him a small smile "Where's Gordon? " I ask out of nowhere because of too much discomfort.Although this is one of the best dinner I've ever experience, still I can't help but to feel discomfort because of the awkwardness I'm feeling right now. I don't know what happen to Vicenzo that he suddenly become like this. Well, he's still the Vicenzo that I knew but I think he change a little.Him telling me that he wanted t
I puffed out a breath of relief when I finally change my clothes. I didn't bother to fixed my messy hair and just step out on the locker room immediately. I wasn't surprise when I saw Boise and Gordon on the corner waiting for me."Sorry I'm a bit late" I said when they approach me."Mr. Santorini is on his way home. We need to go young lady" Gordon replied.I slightly nod my head and continue walking. I understand that we need to arrive first before Vicenzo. That man will surely went mad because its already past 8 in the evening.After the eventful day yesterday, everything went back to normal as if nothing happen at all. My mind start to busy myself thinking for the upcoming La Sylphide performance. I wanted to ready myself, honestly I've been practicing the whole day. I woke up early to rehearse and then I went to Zeneca ballet 2 hours earlier than the usual time. Also I went home late today because Miss Gisella extended my practice with Jameson. Good
I felt my feet froze on my spot as my face went pale. Instinctively, I pulled my wrist from Gianni's grip and harshly look at Vicenzo who's walking closer to me looking so mad and dangerous with his raging eyes, clenching jaw, gritting teeth and stern face.I immediately approach him and block his tall powerful frame with my small and slender body."Vicenzo let's just go inside please" I implore gripping his both wrist.I held my breath when he did stop and lowered hi head angling a little to face me giving me a cold blank stare."I-I... I don't want to see you two hurting each other just like what happen before. Let's just go inside..." I urge him."You go inside" he authoritatively order me "I'll talk to him myself" he hissed roughly.My grip on his wrist tighten shaking my head. The nervousness I'm feeling right now is making me hard to breath. My heart is beating so loud that I couldn't even know how to calm myself."No please..."
I breath in and breath out while stretching my legs. My left hand is holding the barre tightly flexing my legs more."Higher Anna!" I heard Miss Gisella said and I oblige.I extend my legs higher and I reach it with my other hand. I'm looking at my reflection on the mirror making sure that my posture is still properly maintain especially my feet while Miss Gisella on the other hand is carefully watching me making sure that I do it correctly."We need to finish this tonight Anna" She remind me and push my back a little "We're going to rehearse tomorrow from the beginning until the current scene that we already finished to practice" she added and walk around me with crossed arm.I breath out and lick my lower lip maintaining my focus. After the sudden encounter of Gianni and Vicenzo last night everything goes back to normal as if nothing happen at all. I called Gianni this morning but he's not answering his phone. I was so worrried with him up until now. I
