LILIANA POVI went home with my bodyguards. Xavier called me, he will be home by 8 p.m. tonight. He needs to meet with some investors from Europe. They came along the way to meet him. I ate dinner alone. I saw the medicines that the attendants brought for me. Instead of drinking it, I placed it in my pocket. I need to try it again. For the last time, I will follow Takashi's instructions. I was tempted to follow his words.When I reached my room, I went to the sink inside the bathroom to flash the medicines.I took a quick shower before preparing myself to sleep.I feel scared to sleep alone. I hope Xavier will be home soon. But my body was betraying me, I feel very tired today. I decided to lie down instead of waiting for my husband to come home. I tried to convince myself to sleep until I dozed."Lily! Lily!" I heard a man's voice calling my name.I turned around to search for him. I am in an abandoned building. He must be somewhere in this place."Hello? Who are you? Where are you
LILIANA POVI insisted to go to my office today. Xavier made it clear last night that I need to stay at home. But I refused. I am sitting in my office right now checking the progress of our resort through my laptop. Xavier was sitting on the couch near my table with his laptop too.He was focused on his work and he brought it here instead of staying at his office."Xavier, I think you will be more comfortable in your office," I started."No love. I am at ease if I am here beside you," he gave me a wink.I just laughed and went back to my work."Why? You don't want to see my handsome face all day?" he teased me."Of course I do. But, I'm fine here Xavier," I leaned on my swivel chair."I will stay here Liliana, I will not leave you," he continued.I remember Takashi. I need to talk to him today, but it was too impossible. Xavier was here, I don't want my husband to know about Takashi's communications with me. I want to know more, it seems Takashi could give me a good answer."What are
LILIANA POVThe sun just set and it is almost dark. Still, I am in my office to finish some work while waiting for my husband. Takashi and his revelations still linger in my mind. I can't believe him that easily, he could be an enemy in the first place. I need to tell my husband about this as soon as possible. Takashi is trying to destroy the trust I have for Xavier. But why will he do this? Is he working for my brother? Or, what if Takashi is telling the truth? Does this mean that Xavier is lying to me?"Madam?" Rosie called for me."Sir Xavier is waiting for you at the cottage ma'am. He prepared a simple dinner," I felt so much excitement to hear my husband's name. I am like a teenager, so excited to see her ultimate crush.I proceed to the cottage immediately, and there I saw Xavier sitting with a bouquet in his hands.I felt the butterflies inside my stomach. We are now married but still, he will do this thing to me. I moved closer to him. The moment is too magical and romantic. T
LILIANA POVXavier made it clear that I shouldn't go to my office today. After, what happened yesterday, and until Takashi will not be caught, my life is in danger. My husband left early in the morning to look into the business as well as to meet with the police to have some follow-up on the killings of my staff. Xavier made sure that Mica's remains will be brought home safely today in her hometown in Ho Chi Minh City. I felt devastated knowing my staff was killed. I can't believe, Takashi is a killer. Why did he kill Mica? Do they even know each other? Who is Takashi? Why did he try to get close to me?There are so many questions in my mind. I need answers. I hope the investigators will have additional details today.I am browsing the internet, the news is all over social media right now. It created so much noise here in Vietnam. I hope this will not reach the Philippines, my enemies will come for me. Surely, Takashi could be an enemy. He wants to destroy my relationship with Xavier.
LILIANA POVI sat on the bed and wrapped the blanket around my naked body."What did you say? Kill?" I don't like the word he used. It made me nervous and worried. I don't want anyone to die.Xavier laughed as he looked at my expression."Is that a joke Xavier?" I frowned."Yes love, of course, it was just a joke. I can't afford to kill anyone, anyway, we have to authorities to make a move," he pulled me and I landed on his broad chest. "But I admit Lily, I can do bad things just to keep you safe. I don't care if someone will hurt, as long as I will make sure that you are protected all the time," he continued.I moved closer aiming for his lips. I kissed him passionately. This is what I want to do, to kiss him now and then.We stayed on our bed a few minutes more before we decided to wear our clothes and eat our dinner. "How's everything in the resort Xavier? I hope you will permit me to go to work tomorrow. Anyway, you tightened the security," I can't take it anymore, the house is
LILIANA POVRosie tried to stop me, but I didn't listen to her. I need to find Xavier, and check if he's alright. I will never forgive myself if something bad happened to him. Four of my bodyguards are with me, including my driver. I am in a separate car, while two of my bodyguards are behind us. We are kilometers away from the resort and we are heading to an abandoned house in Da Lat City.I am sweating and I can feel my hands shaking. I need to be strong.I heard a deafening thud followed by a loud bang, I turned to look behind us, and the car where two of my bodyguards were in just crashed."Stop, we need to help them," I instructed the driver. I need to see what happened to them.The car turned back and we went closer to them. I saw my bodyguards going out of that car. Just in time when I heard four gunshots and my bodyguards in that car fell to the ground. Someone just shot and killed them.We were in a panic. The driver stopped and tried to go away."Ma'am, the enemies are here.
LILIANA POVI tried to squint my eyes as I tried to adjust to the light coming from my window. I looked around to realize that I was finally in our bedroom. I tried to sit as I felt my head and body tormented in pain. Just in time for my husband to come in. He looks so tired and he run towards me.He didn't say a word. He just hugged me tight and he was trembling in fear.I let go of his hug to look him in the eyes."Xavier, are you alright?" I am glad to see him safe. I remember how scared I am knowing he could be in danger yesterday."Takashi is dead, Lily, you are safe now. I am thankful he didn't hurt you. We just arrived on time yesterday," he told me.A memory from yesterday flashed back. I remember how I ran in the woods after we have been attacked in the car. Takashi told me a lot of things until Xavier and Mark arrived. Mark shot him and he died in front of me."You fainted, and I was worried about you Lily. I rushed you to the nearest hospital. Due to security reasons, the d
LILIANA POVMy husband finally slept peacefully beside me. I felt damn worried a while ago, seeing him that way. Maybe he can't handle the stress anymore. He was a brave and strong man but everything has its limitations. I know how much he loves me and it made him scared thinking he could lose me. I slowly traced my fingers on his handsome face. He never gets tired of loving me. After all the nightmares that we get through, his love for me never changed. I can't imagine life without him.The next morning I woke up very early. I went to the rooftop, I decided to wait for the sunrise. I want to cleanse my mind. I want to focus and start my day right. Xavier needs me, we need to work together to save our lives. I tried to breathe and feel the fresh morning breeze. I need to do meditation. It took me a few minutes before the sun finally rise. I opened my eyes and I was amazed to see the beautiful sun giving light and brightness around me. It was a nice feeling to see the day begins with
