When Richard fully regained his strength after four days I thought it was time to get more answers. A little investigation into his life wouldn’t be a thing after all. I left for work and returned at exactly 2pm to look after him. As he sat in his undersized hospital robe.“Thank you Giuliana for looking out for me. I promise you I will protect you and Gio from that monster”“Dominico is not a monster”. I corrected sharply. I still somehow have a thing for the man that I gave birth to, but Dominico is just stubborn and I think he has deliberately refused to change his ways, which is something I despised. He looked at me with surprise in his eyes and then went on to apologize.“I’m sorry Gui, I shouldn’t have called him that”. He said, lacing his fingers together.“I get, but I have a few questions while I was trying to find a family member to call I saw some strange messages in your phone, I guess they are Spanish and I wonder why someone would send you a message in a language you do
I quickly sent a message to Sharon to pick Gio up from school. Here in New York things aren’t done like Sicily and coupled with the fact that I already sent an order to the school never to release Gio to anyone except I called them to do so. She answered without asking questions, and in about an hour she brought Gio to me at the hospital and also got two packs of food. In the private room I sat on the couch with my hands on my chin when Sharon appeared with Gio walking beside her. On her shoulder was his back pack and on her other hand was the food she had gotten for both of us. “Hey son”. I called out as Gio got into the room looking surprised at the body on the bed. “Mama what happened to him?” his tone was laced with curiosity. “Is that how you want to tell mama you missed her today?’ I asked, this was a deliberate attempt to take his mind off the topic he was trying to get into. “I’m sorry Mama, You okay?” I nodded even though I wasn’t so sure I was doing well. Why do bad th
I was in the office sorting out some important files when I heard my phone buzzing heavily on the desk. I turned to face it, a glance since I had to meet up at the meetings for the day. A strange number. What could this call be? I asked as I pushed the phone closer to me. Suddenly the call went off and came back again almost as sharp as it had ended.I grabbed the phone and swiped the answer button sharply. “Hello”. I answered as I pressed the phone to my ears. It wasn't long before the soft feminine voice came. “Hello this is Nurse Selene and I'm calling from Landmark hospital. There's a man named Richard here, unconscious. I can see from his phone that you're the last person he spoke with before leaving his home this morning”. Her voice was clear and every word she said sank deep into my head.“Wait. Richard is in the hospital? What happened to him?” I asked sharply as panic began to build up.“Your attention is needed at the hospital ma'am. Everything will be explained when you g
Rustling up from sleep, I found my head resting on a broad hard chest. The scent from skin was familiar, as my eyes roamed the room for something familiar. I stretched to a sitting position looking at the handsome sleeping face before me. I grabbed my phone to check the time.“7:15am? Shit”. I screamed, jumping out of bed with immediate effect. He jumped out of bed covering himself with the comforter.“Is everything okay?” He was surprised at my sudden outburst. His eyes followed my every move.“My son. I slept off”. I pushed the remaining comforter from my naked body. I bent over and hurriedly picked my bra and dress. I wore them and just when I was about to leave, she picked up my panties from the floor and waved them to me.“I think you're forgetting something”. He had a grin on his face. He seemed happy about what we've done so much that he was forgetting he needed to stop being naughty. “Will I see you again tonight Gui? You were on fire last night”. His tone sounded like he was
Trying to speak with Richard seemed like mission impossible so this night got ready for anything. I had my black dress on, my face glowing from the oil I had applied on it after my skin care routine. It was 8pm, a time I am sure he wouldn't let me stand out for too long. Looking at my reflection in the mirror standing by the side of my room I knew I had to take the bull by the horn this time. I applied some deodorant and a soft night perfume over my skin. When I was sure everything seemed as nice as my plan, I drummed on my fingers gently on the table and walked out. Gio was asleep or probably with his game pad. I slowly slid out of my room making sure he didn't realize I was going out. My Mission wouldn't take longer than five to ten minutes. The yard was safe too so I could risk leaving him all by himself in the house with the doors locked and the security alarm and cameras connected to my phone.As I stepped out of the building the fresh cool evening air hit my skin. A chilly smo
The moment she asked me to leave her house my blood ran cold in my spine. I knew it had everything to do with the bastard I saw her with that very night at her house. I shook my head as I sat in my hotel room distressed and ready to go back to Sicily after my meeting for the day pulled through. With a glass of whiskey in my hand, I scrolled through my phone with the other hand and just then a call came through. The caller ID says Belinda. I guess it was a trouble call not a distress call. I swiped up and the call pulled through. I clicked the speaker button so I could still hear her while I placed the phone on the table in front of me.“Belinda what do you want?” I asked in a croaky voice like I had just woken up from sleep. She cleared her throat ready to give me the usual lies she had cooked up in her spicy pot.“Dominico, your son is sick and I need some money”. I knew it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Besides, I had the conviction deep down that that boy wasn't mine. He h
