In each day that passes by, the dead feelings that are long gone starting to rise like alive. I kept my head and myself busy to not think things like that. I don't want to betray myself because of my stupid heart. I was once betraying myself and I led it to my destruction. I woke up first and I am doing some morning exercise to keep myself healthy and strong. I need to bring those assholes on the 6 feet underground. From my view, I can see some of his men are running on the field like military men doing their morning routines. Giovanni is still sleeping like a baby in his bed.As I ran on the treadmill and my mind went back to the past like walking in an old memory lane. After the bombing of the Heart of Seas Hotel, everything went back to normal like there is no war between the mafia families. There are casualties and my brother was injured. Giovanni, on the other hand, came to the Philippines to negotiate with me about the advertisement of his products in my magazine. I was na
I thought Giovanni let me slip from his presence instead he followed me and grabbed my arms. "What do you want?" I asked him. My voice sounds tired. I hate this part of me, I hate that my past still holding me tightly. I thought I was able to let go of them but I wasn't. "I want us to talk, Thalia." I remove my arms from his grip and he didn't let me go. "The last time I let your arms go, Thalia. You are gone for how many years," he said with danger in his voice. "You let my arms go or not, Giovanni I will still go because it's a must, I must save myself from completely drowning in the pain you've caused," I said to him and he stared at me intently. Those eyes that once looked at me like he wants to devour his prey, he wants to kill his enemy. "Thalia, I am sorry, I am deeply sorry," he said and look at me gently so I chuckle sarcastically until it became a crying hard. It's still a morning and yet it feels like the night that ended my life. Giovanni kneels to hug my body as
The whole day I didn't see Giovanni even his shadow, I observed his men upon their unusual movements but I failed because they are acting normal. "Mrs Brickser, just ask me if you want to see Giovanni," Silver said as he appeared as a ghost. I jumped out of scared. "I am not looking for him," I defended myself and he just shrugs his shoulder. "If you want to see him, just go to your husband's company and he is rotting himself there," he shared but I rolled my eyes on him. "I'm not going there. I just got home," I told him and he nodded like he wasn't convinced at all. I am relieved that he is just there because I felt a little guilty due to our arguments this morning. I heaved a deep sigh and went inside our room. I am about to remove my top when my phone rings and I rolled my eyes. But it is from an unknown so my forehead creased. "Yes?" "Is this the wife of Giovanni Brickser?" "I am," I told the man on the speaker. "Ma'am, your husband is in our hospital. He was shot on hi
I stayed with Giovanni all night while the other men are staying outside the room. Hansel and Grey brought me food while I am keeping my eyes on Giovanni. Penny talked to me a while ago regarding the baby I want to adopt and the baby is found inside this hospital. But the thing is, will Giovanni accept the baby? I stretch my arms and yawned. I want to go home and change my clothes. I was startled when my phone rings at the top of the table so I lazily walked towards it. It was Grey. "Hello, Grey," I said. "Thalia, we bring the guy in our basement," he said and my eyes widened. That fast?! I mean, I ordered to bring the boss but I know this won't be easy. "Which basement?" I asked him."Your husband's headquarter," he answered so I nodded. I know where that place is. "I'll head there now," I stated and I was about to end the phone call. "The argon has a connection, Thalia and they were alerted now so be careful or else, you will join your husband inside the hospital lying?" he
I reviewed his files last night, he's an abandoned child who got left in the crowd by his mother until his boss found him. "You bitch!" he shouted and tried to get out of the grip. "I am! So, you fucking listen to me!" I shouted back and slap the wooden table in front of him. He was frightened by my action. "Now, I want to ask you, who ordered you to ambush Giovanni?! And who are the people behind this aside from you?" I asked him calmly but dangerously. I stare at him intently and he gulped. "It's the boss and some people inside your husband's company are one of us, Thalia. They are not all loyal servants," he said and smirked. "Thanks for it, I am going to filter people then," I said. "Since you are done talking. Kindly tape his mouth and put him inside the soundproofed room," I ordered the men who are standing in the corner. They obediently did my command and watch them as they carry him while shouting but it wasn't that loud. The soundproof room is where you can face-to-fa
The smell of the Hospital welcomed me and the scenery of people who are crying, sad, and happy. We went straight to the elevator and Hansel push the button. I listen to Grey as he narrates what happened a while ago."Giovanni should be worried now," Hansel said and laugh with the other men who are with us. I look at them through the silver door of the elevator. "Sorry," Hansel said and cleared his throat."But yeah, Giovanni must be careful with me now," I sarcastically said to them."Who is with Giovanni right now?" I asked them."With some other men, Thalia, don't worry," Hansel answered and I nodded. The door opens and there are people waiting outside so we excused ourselves."Is she the wife of the patient in Room 18?" some nurses asked each other but I just ignored them."She's intimidating,""She's beautiful and I understand why Princess got rejected."My forehead creased and I am about
Since the CEO of Brickser Corporation is not around and he is still in Hospital for recovery as his legally bonded wife, I will occupy his office for a while but of course, the decision is not mine but his to make."Giovanni, don't you remember my threat to you before? I will make your company crumble and turn it into ashes?" I asked him as I am standing in front of him with both hands at my waist."I clearly remember your words full of loathing and emotions, my dear wife. And isn't your time to fulfil that?" he asked me and take a bite of his apple.He is so calm to the point it scares me."I hate you to the pits of hell, Giovanni!" I shouted and stomped my feet on the tiled floor.He laughs."I will accept that Thalia because next you're going to love me to the deepest depths of hell," he said and winked at me which sends butterflies in my stomach and calmed my
When I am done looking back at my dark past I look at his drawers beneath this table and it's some files I chuckled when I saw a pack of candy, I can't imagine him eating candies. I closed the drawer and open the big drawer. I don't know why I feel like I should open this and see the things covered in a small basket. I look at the monitor and there is no email entered yet maybe Penny is still working on it. I put the basket on the top and open it, it is full of white envelopes. My heartbeats went fast and I feel like there was a strong urge that is pulling me to open those envelopes. The mark of the envelope signifies it is opened and read so it doesn't matter anymore. It's a letter. When I read the sender's name, it brings horror and I feel like I was dragged into the grave. My spine went shivered and my hands begin to shake. My airways are tight now. As I read the letters, I counted all the envelop
