Late at night I am sitting in the gazebo watching the dark skies and breathing the cold wind of September. The wind brushing on the trees that turn into orange as autumn season enters. I yawned as I felt my eyes are getting heavier so I decided to go inside. “Ma’am, there’s a parcel for you,” one of our security guards reached to me when I was inside the house. Giovanni is reading some documents with his eyeglasses. Freya is walking to the stairs with Giovanna in her arms. “What is that?” Giovanni asked. “I don’t know,” I answered. I sat down beside him as I opened the brown box with a bubble wrap. There are no details of the sender. “I suspect that this parcel is a threat,” I commented and Giovanni put his documents on the coffee table in front of us.He was the one who opened the box and I winced at the sight inside of the box. “What the fuck?” he asked as he picks the white bond paper with blood splattered on it. “It’s disgusting,” I said. “I will bring this to the team and they
Penny is in the headquarter with us as I massage my forehead. “I don’t think I’ll be able to go to work later and the following days,” I told her and she took a deep breath. “I will cover you, Thalia,” she assured and I nodded with her.She’s staying here and she’s one of the assassins in the group. We are inside Giovanni’s office while waiting for the result of the DNA. “What exactly happened, Thalia?” she asked me. I looked at her and seat properly. “Well, it all started on someone sent me a parcel with blood on it and while we are on our way here, someone followed us,” I answered.She nodded as she clenched her jaw. “Where the bastards who followed you?” she asked and stood up. She looks like she’s going to kill them in a minute. “They are on the underground. Anyway, where did Giovanni go?” I asked her.“They went somewhere and he asked me to take care of you here,” she answered. I nodded and stood up. I fixed my long black hair and put on my bloody red lipstick. “Ooh where are you
My brother, Harris, is standing in front of me while I am on the floor kneeling and hugging Penny tightly. I can see the anger in his eyes as he closed his fists tightly. “H-Harris,” I mentioned his name and he just stared at me with so much pain. He immediately pulled me up to wrap me in his arms.Another set of tears is released when I feel his warm hug. I feel like I didn’t hug him for so many years, I feel like he found me finally. “Hush, my little sister,” he whispered to my ears. I pulled myself from hugging him and wiped my tears. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. He took a deep breath. “I visited you when I learned what happened last night, Thalia,” he answered me and I nodded. “But how did you know here?” I asked him again because I was curious how he came here when I did not give any details. “I asked your husband and he led me here,” he simply answered and I nodded. He eyed me intensively and I gulped because I knew what it meant but I tended to ignore it because I
I woke up late because I felt so drained the whole day and my brain couldn’t function well due to the tiredness I felt, I glanced at the wall clock mounted on the wall inside our master’s bedroom. It’s nine-thirty in the morning, so, I get up and stretch my arms. I yawned because I wanted to sleep more but I know I have to stand up and work my ass off today. I went straight into the bathroom to prepare myself for today. As I put on my light make-up, Giovanni went inside the room. He looks fresh in the morning. “Good morning,” he greeted and kissed me on my lips. I greeted him back. “I prepared your breakfast in the dining area, babe,” he said and I nodded with a smile on my face. “Thank you so much!” I happily said and put my make-up kit in the drawer. I was surprised when Giovanni snatched the blow dryer from my hand and he started drying my hair. “I never knew you would do this to me, not even in my imagination,” I commented and he chuckled.“Well, I like to serve my queen,” he sa
I leaned on Giovanni as I whispered in his ears. “Where are the visitors?” I asked him and he pointed them inside the office. On every floor, Giovanni has his office. We are in the UG 4. He held my waist and pulled me in the direction of his office. When we got inside, they stood up and bowed their heads. The atmosphere becomes unfamiliar because of these strangers. Okay. I looked at them and started counting inside my head, so, they are fifteen men in complete black suits. “Good morning, Mr and Mrs Brickser,” they said in unison raised my right eyebrow. I nodded with a smile on my face. I roamed my eyes to the office and it didn’t have appliances but only a couch, table, aircon, and lights. It adds to the strong ambience of this room. My eyes went immediately to their boss which means Leighrandra’s husband, he looked like a simple man but with a high intelligence quotient. So, this is what Leighrandra’s taste in men, she’s attracted to high-IQ men. No wonder because she can be stu
Giovanni held my hand and squeezed them, so I looked at him with curiosity. “What?” I asked him as I looked his hand onne.to His other hand is holding the steering wheel. “You are spacing out,” he said. “Oh,” I said. I took a deep breath and released the air.“I am a little bit worried about the situation in the company, you didn’t show up for five consecutive days,” I told him and looked outside of the window. We are traveling between the trees. “The company stood fine and firm although I’ll be away for a year, Thalia,” he answered and I rolled my eyes on him because he sounded confident. “I have the employees that I trained well just in case things are happening like this,” he said and I nodded at him. “Yeah, whatever,” I told him. I yawned as I remembered that I didn’t have enough sleep last night because Giovanni and I were having a briefing last night. “You should buy me a coffee later, Giovanni. I didn't have enough sleep because of you,” I told him. He chuckled. “It is very t
THALIA ISABELLEThe night is cold as the wind blew it and brushes my fair skin tone, swaying my straight long brown hair in the air. We are in an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere, a perfect place to hide a crime. I am standing in front of an old man, who is now powerless.“What the hell,” I irritatedly hissed as I flip my hair. I was about to speak when someone slap me in my face I look at the person who did it. How dare he slapped me?! I hide my gritting teeth.I smiled devilishly at him because no one ever has done this to me---oh wait I remember someone but it is a different story. “How dare you slap me with your dirty hands?!” I hissed and I wipe my face using the red handkerchief that I fished out from my pocket.“It’s already done, what can you do about it?” he stated in a way of teasing me well I am pissed off right now and I am eager to erase him from this world. Stop him from breathing the same air as me!“Well, you are damn right,” I said to him and he smiled. If
THALIA ISABELLEI went straight to the bar that my brother asked me to go to, I wanted to take a rest now but he invited me for a drink with him and Audrey. I immediately park my car in the available space for me and went inside the bar, we are VIP members here and people knew us.As the typical bar, it is loud and the people here are wild. As I pass by someone blows smoke on my face and I almost punch him in the face because I caught a cough. “Bullshit!” I cussed.“Oh I am sorry, Miss,” he apologized but more on mocking so I step on his foot which made him scream in pain. “Oh I am sorry, Mister,” I mocked and left him there in pain. His voice is familiar I just don’t remember to whom I heard it.I went to the second floor where the VIP room is located that my brother rented for us, the walls are made of glass but it is heavily tinted. I open it using our membership card and there I saw my brother sitting together with his wife and there are three glasses and one bottle of wine.“What
