Tabitha:

The rest of the day was quiet. Edwardo made breakfast, but I couldn’t help but notice a slight limp in his step. He placed the French toast and berries on the table and smiled stiffly to hide the grimace behind his eyes. What was wrong with him? Was he being abused? Maybe he had bad employers elsewhere, and they were treating him badly.

I took a slice of toast, and my face burned with delight. This was amazing! How could anyone treat him badly? He literally made the best food.

    Tabitha:“Well, look who is back home.” Natasha walked to the door. She was in a different housecoat, smiling from ear to ear, with another glass in her hand. Didn’t she ever get tired of drinking?“Get out of my way.”I pushed past her and headed up the stairs. Her light footsteps followed closely behind, even though I wasn’t looking at her, I could feel her smiling. “Your daddy called this afternoon,” she teased. “He was so worried about you. Maybe you should call him back.”I mumbled something and buried my hands in my pocket, wrapping my hands around a piece of paper. I just wanted to get to my room and avoid her. If not for her and her nonchalant attitude, my day would have gone much better. “So, who did you see?” he teased, her footsteps feeling closer than before. It was like her breath was right on my neck. “Have another guy that you’re interested in? Someone to make Enzo jealous?”“Can you just leave me alone?” My blood pressure was rising; my face was burning hotter. “I a

  • In My Godfather’s Bed    204. Enzo

    Enzo:“What do you mean that she went out?”“It means that she went out, Enzo,” Natasha snapped. “Last I checked, she was an adult. I'm already doing a lot of pet-sitting for you.”“Pet sitting?!” I snapped back. “You were the one who asked her to come over. I didn't want her to go.”“Same difference, Enzo,” Natasha sighed. “She is an adult human, not a cat. She can take care of herself. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to prepare for a meeting ahead of tomorrow.”The line went dead. I couldn't believe that Tabitha just… left. She didn’t even tell anyone where she was going. I called her phone twice, but it went straight to voicemail.Shit! She was probably intentionally ignoring me, and knowing her, she probably wasn’t with anyone that I trusted. My chair creaked as I leaned back. Collin… she was probably with him. I could feel my blood rising at the mere thought of it. I already told her how I felt about him. If she was still seeing him, then… No, I didn’t want to think about th

    Tabitha:“So that’s it.” I gripped my mug tighter, staring at one spot on the table. “I have no idea what to do. Andrew might be hurt, and Enzo is not speaking to me.”The silence hung between us for a while. I took a deep breath. Maybe my problem was too big to fix. Maybe I was overthinking it all, and I needed to…“Tabitha, what do you want to do?”I looked up at Collin. He was taking a sip of his drink, his eyes fixed on me. He wasn’t smiling or frowning. He was just… looking.“What?”“It is a simple question.” he set his mug down and leaned forward. “Maybe you don’t know it because you are with a gentleman who is much older than you, but you are an adult. What do you think is the right course of action?”My mouth opened, but no words came out. This was… this was actually the first time that anyone had ever asked me something like this. I mean… What do I even say? “I think… I think that maybe…”Collin raised a hand to stop me, a smile returning to his face. “You don’t have to tel

    Tabitha:She just… sat there. For most of the day, she was drinking a glass of juice and typing away at her keyboard like she didn’t have a care in the world while her nephew was suffering.I had taken a picture of her as evidence. There was no way that she didn’t plan this kidnapping. There was no way that anyone could be this calm. It was 3:00 p.m. I hadn't gotten a wink of rest. I was following her, watching her, taking notes of everything she did and said. A few times, she caught me staring and would just smile, shake her head and go back to what she was doing. “You can stop being a peeping tom and come out,” she called out, not raising her head from her laptop and sighing dramatically. She muttered something under her breath and reached out for her glass. “I can’t believe that Enzo has to deal with you.”I came into the room and sat on the sofa furthest away from her. My cover had been blown, so there was no point in sneaking up on her anyway. “You are really not going to do a

    Enzo:I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. One by one, I flipped through the papers in my hands, looking from Richard to Nora and back to the files. It really wasn't a joke; it was written here in black and white. How could they? "When did this happen?" I demanded, my hands shaking with the files. "When did you talk to them?"“You know, Enzo,” Richard leaned back in his chair and folded his hands together, “it wasn’t really a ‘when’ thing. Maybe a coffee here, golf there, and brunch every other Thursday and they were inspired to come up with such a wonderful idea.”“Wonderful idea?! Richard, my entire board is sending in requests to sell their shares to you. What did you tell them?” I demanded again. “I didn’t tell them anything. They decided it on their own, and I simply agreed,” he shrugged. “I'm a businessman, Enzo. I am not one to turn down a good deal when I see one.”“And you saw this as a good deal?”Richard smiled and leaned forward, a glint in his eyes that made my s

    Tabitha:She sat there drinking coffee like she hadn’t just heard everything that I just said. “When did you call Enzo?” I repeated, glaring at her even more fiercely. “I didn’t,” she replied, taking another sip of her coffee, still scrolling through her phone. “I have told you that already. Did you wake up deaf or something?”“I have been trying to reach him since yesterday," I snapped back. I was getting sick of her attitude. “How can he ignore my calls, but he has been taking yours?!”Natasha rolled her eyes and set her phone on the ground, holding her coffee in both hands now. “Like I said before. I didn’t call him.”The table was silent. My hands were on my laps to hide how badly they were shaking. Breakfast had already been laid out, and Natasha had already cleared her plate, and I had barely touched mine. Maybe it was the anger, but I hated how calm Natasha was, the same nonchalant calm she'd had when she was told Andrew was kidnapped. Did she really not care? Did she know

    Tabitha:“More pasta, Miss Hyest?”I nodded, my mouth full of spaghetti. I was about to order something when the chef came in. She said that Enzo asked him to come over before I ordered junk. I rolled my eyes. I could feed myself. I was working for a reason. I sighed. The food could only do so m

    Enzo:The Patterson project file lay in front of me. I didn’t have to be at work today but I couldn’t be at home either. I needed to get my mind off everything that had happened: The agreement, the slap. I dropped the pen that I was holding and it booted the table slightly. It was the same one I h

    Tabitha:The morning seemed to come fast. The bed felt different, smelled different. My eyes fluttered open as the sun’s rays poured on my face from the window. Slowly, my thoughts began to return to me. The launch, Enzo, Emily, Angela…The morning haze in my eyes slowly faded and I remembered whe

  • In My Godfather’s Bed    58. Enzo

    Enzo:It was all over. Six messages, over ten calls, and I still have not heard from Tabitha. The thought tormented me as I forced a smile, thanking guests for coming. Natasha was still holding my hand firmly. If only she would let go and let me think for even a second. My team took the car from t
