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
With our hand clasped together Vicenzo guide me to step inside the car. He even help me to wear the jacket properly because he didn't gave me the chance to change my clothes."Wait here" he said before he close the door beside me.I watch him out of the car window and I saw him talking to Calcifer and the other man who I don't know how to address. It seems like they were having a serious conversation base on the expression of their faces. Compared to the three of them, Calcifer is looking much calmer while Vicenzo seems like he's ready to kill someone."Do you know what happen Gordon?" I voice out not looking at Gordon."No young lady" he said.I turn my gaze on him and I look at him with suspicion. I'm not sure if Gordon is telling the truth because sometimes he is also siding Vicenzo and they all keep me in the dark."You don't look bother with what's happening around" I stated sounding a bit suspicious with him."My concern is only
I close back the door slowly and get my phone that was placed on the side table. I took a deep breath before I walk towards the glass door onto the balcony with a view of the city lights. I sigh and open my phone. Although I'm doubting, I still dialed Gianni's digit. I was expecting him to ignore my call, but surprisingly he did answer me in just one ring. "Rose" "I'm sorry Gian" I whisper and glance on my back checking if someone might eavesdropping. I wasn't able to say sorry to him. I am his cousin but I left him that night without making sure that he's alright. I was so unfair to him... I heard him sigh heavily "You don't have to say sorry Rose, I will get you out of there that's a promise" I shut my eyes close as I grip the railing of the balcony tightly "You don't understand, Gian. I'm already married with Vicenzo and I can't do anything about it" "Just like that Svanna Rose? You didn't tell me anything, and now you're sa
"Are you sure you'll be okay without me?" I can't help but ask while we're eating breakfast. The questions in my head last night were like kept in the box. As I said, I don't dare to confront Vicenzo. Besides, I trust him. I gave him a little trust and that little trust slowly getting bigger and bigger. Although I'm doubting a little, there is a voice inside my head saying 'your husband will never betray you and that's what I'm holding. "Your husband is Saint Vicenzo Santorini, wife" he chuckles and pinches my left cheek "Don't worry too much" he assures me. I heard Calcifer whistle playfully but my eyes remain on Vicenzo for a couple of seconds before I look at Calcifer and smile. I glance at Greco too but it was too brief afraid that I might meet his gaze. Since last night, I feel a sudden aloofness towards him although we haven't talked even just for a short time still. I'm honestly afraid to look a
If death is inevitable, then I guess this is my end right now. Fresh tears start rolling down to my cheeks feeling the excruciating pain in I don't know which part of my body. A sticky liquid is slowly streaming down to the side of my head while I'm breathing heavily, gasping for air. "C-Cal..."I whisper in a dried voice trying to get Calcifer's attention. I slowly open my eyes, I was still inside the car but it is not moving anymore. I tried to lift my hand to open the door beside me but it was stuck. "C-Calcifer" I cried hopelessly pushing the door "Please..." I mumble. I sob silently and swallow the lump on my throat, I scanned my eyes around. I can't move my body, the only thing I can control is my eyes. Slowly, my gaze landed on the driver seat and my eyes widened when I saw Calcifer's back with his head on the steering wheel. "Calcifer!" I frantically called his name.
Everything happens so fast, I don't know when and how we able to escape. I just found myself sitting on the single couch pulling my legs up hugging both of my knees while covered with a thick blanket here in the living room of Vicenzo's mansion.The men in the black inside are fully alarmed. They were walking back and forth creating an unpleasant sound because of their heavy footsteps that echo the whole living room. Vicenzo left me here because he still needs to talk to someone to clean the mess and to figure out who was those men who attacked us. I on the other hand am still shaking as if I was cold when in fact I was just so scared about what happened.Now that I already escape that very dangerous situation, everything sinks in. My lips won't stop quivering and the fast beating of my heart won't calm down. I sigh and close my eyes, I hope my father is alright including Mommy Adeline, and Aliah."Young Lady, here's your tea" I heard Jana said beside me.
