CHAPTER 44
Inside the four corners of the room, there are books, files, and figurines placed perfectly inside the cabinets. There's a medium chandelier placed above the ceiling, and the aircon is at a suitable temperature, but my blood boils.
Grey is kneeling in front of me with his hands together. "Forgive me, Thalia," he pleads. "You betrayed me, Grey!" I said to him.
Giovanni told me everything he learned from Grey. "I am caught off guard, Thalia. Your husband is something!" he said as he looked at Giovanni standing while holding a book. "He threatened me that he would deport me to the Philippines!" he added.
I rolled my eyes. "Did you not believe me when I told you I got your back?" I asked him. He looked down as he pouted. "I believed you, but I don't want to put you both in turmoil because of me," he muttered.
"So you chose to betray me?" I asked him mockingly.
"It's not like that, Thalia, I swear!" he pleaded.

Giovanni remained in his position and it's been there for hours, he is silent but I can hear his small sobs that break my heart. He needs to release all his emotions. I can see him wiping his tears and his shoulders are moving. I stood up to give him a glass of water. "Drink water, Giovanni," I calmly said to him as I stood in front of him. He look up at me, and my eyes became soft and teary-eyed. I can see how broken he is. There's so much pain in his eyes. His hand is shaking as he gets the glass from my hand. "Giovanni," I called him. "D-Don't tell me to stop crying. The pain is so unbearable," he said as he closed his eyes. He dropped the glass to the floor and it breaks. I immediately pick up the portions of the broken glass. "Just like these pieces, they are like trust. It is broken and you can't unbreak it," he spoke out. "Yes," I firmly said. I pick up the pieces of broken glass and bring a towel to gather the tiny

I looked at Hansel and the rest before knocking on the door. As I knocked twice, I twisted it. The room welcomes me with silence and a peaceful night. There are dim lights on the ceiling. I closed the door lightly afraid that I'll disturb the peaceful sleep of my daughter. On her crib's left side, I saw Grey who is sleeping on his chair.Although, the chair was customized to use it for sleeping. I took a deep breath, and approach him to poke his right cheek. He shoved my finger away and so I repeat it. His right eye opens slightly, and he looks surprised by my appearance. He gulped and shook his head. "Hello, Grey," I greeted him without a smile. He looks at me with a nervous smile. "T-Thalia, let me explain carefully," he immediately said. He knows his fault and so it must be. "I hate what you did, Grey," I said as I sit down on another chair beside him. I crossed my arms above my chest. "You betrayed me instantly," I added. He bows his head. "I apologized for my betrayal, Thali

My head hurts as I stare at my monitor's screen, I am reading the information of the man we found. He was once a janitor in the company of Giovanni. But he was fired because of being an informant from the other competing company. I nodded. The thing is some of his information is private. I want to know if he is connected to any groups. I have a strong feeling that he is a member of a certain group. It is past three in the morning, and I can't fall asleep yet but I need to sleep. So, I stand up and carry my laptop. I close the door. Giovanni is still sleeping and I yawned. He moved so I look at him, and he is like having nightmares. I went to his side to get the jar in his hand. "Stay away from me!" he shouted, so I was startled. He open his eyes quickly and formed his fists ready to fight. "Hold on, Giovanni! I am Thalia!" I said to him. His breathing became slow, and his eyes calmed down. "I thought you're an enemy," he said. "I will become your enemy once you broke the small ja

Giovanni is smiling nervously to me as I look at him directly into his eyes. "Hey, Mom!" he greeted his mother and kissed her cheeks. He pinched his daughter's cheeks. "Hello, to my beautiful baby girl," he said. While on the other hand, his father is laughing at him. "How's work, Giovanni?" he asked his son. "Father, with all due respect, kindly remove Mr. De los Frias on the list of investors?" he said and sounded like he was stressed. His father creased his forehead and turn into serious mode. "Why? What happened?" he asked. Giovanni loosened his neck tie. "He's a pain in the ass. He keeps on asking for the whole detailed of the investments when we gave him enough," he complained. "That's what a businessman does, Giovanni. He's an investor in our company therefore, introduced me to him and I'll be the one to face him," his father said and he looks like relieved. "Thank you, Father!" he said. I arched my eyebrow when he walked towards me. "Hello, to my beautiful wife," he said

I was startled when I saw Freya standing in front of our room, Giovanni woke up earlier than me and he went to his office already. “Good morning, Mrs. Brickser,” she greeted me and I nodded at her. “Same here. Just call me Thalia,” I told her and her eyes were shining. “Okay, Thalia!” she said and I nodded. She moved when I got out of the room. “Where’s Giovanna?” I asked her. I am still worried and do not trust her because I haven’t received any information from Silver. “She’s still sleeping, Thalia. I came here because Sir Giovanni asked me to ask you if you need anything," she said and I nodded. "Just be with Giovanna, that’s all I need. I can manage myself,” I firmly said. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. I took a step towards Giovanna’s room. I found my daughter sleeping peacefully on the top of the bed with pillows around her. I kissed her forehead and fixed her blanket. “Sshhh...” I said as I patted her small and cute thigh because she moved a little bit. I found

I left my daughter in Freya’s care for a while because I need to submit the report I reviewed and if it is approved by the CEO, they will push through the budget for the new project. I went inside the elevator and fixed myself with the help of the elevator’s mirror. My hair is in a tight and sleek ponytail. The elevator opened and I went outside, my heels were creating a sound on the tiled floor. “Good morning, Mrs Brickser,” his secretary greeted me. I nodded with a smile to him. “Ma’am, the CEO strictly commanded that he shouldn’t be disturbed at this moment,” he said to me and my eyebrows cocked. “Why? Is he in a private meeting?” I asked him curiously. Giovanni only issues this kind of situation when there’s an important meeting or he doesn’t want to be disturbed at all. I walked towards the waiting area, it is beside the secretary’s table. “Actually...there was a woman who came and they are currently talking Ma’am,” he answered. My brows furrowed in curiosity. Who is she? I st

I walked towards the hallway, and I met Silver. “Hello, Thalia. Does your husband have a plan on eating his dinner?” he asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders. “Ask him,” I replied. He was surprised but didn’t speak. At least he knew how to read the atmosphere. I went straight to my daughter’s room, and she was drinking her milk. “I will sleep here tonight, Freya,” I told her, and she nodded. “I’ll sleep on the sofa,” she told me. I went to Giovanna and kissed her cheek. “Mommy will sleep beside you tonight,” I happily informed her. Freya didn’t ask why I was sleeping here, and that’s what I am thankful for. At midnight, I unexpectedly felt thirsty for water, and there was no pitcher or bottled water. I don’t have a choice but to go into the kitchen to get water to drink. I carefully walked so I wouldn’t disturb their sleep. The lights were dimmed. That’s why I do not worry about being tripped off somewhere. I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard two people talking. Giovanni
