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
THALIA ISABELLEI woke up a while ago with a severe headache from last night and I am still lying in my bed because I can’t find myself standing up and doing my morning routine. I keep on yawning and closing my eyes multiple times, so I get my phone from my bedside table.It’s seven-thirty in the morning.When I feel okay I stood up and bring myself to the bathroom to take a bath and start my day. As I shower I can remember the warmth of someone else’s lips last night from the bar, I am sure it is one of my brother’s visitors!I was frozen on my spot and touched my lips as I remember how we kissed senselessly, the movements of our lips feel like it is from yesterday like we’ve known each other for a very long time. How shameful that I kissed someone else’s lips while I’m married to an asshole?!I can’t accept that I kissed someone’s lips that are not my husband’s! What a shame, Thalia! You hate cheating but what did you exactly do last night?! I stomp my feet on the cold floor of my s
THALIA ISABELLE“What did he say, Hansel?” I asked him as soon as I saw him, his boss called a while ago to ask for an update.“He said, nothing changes, if you will not go back then he will be the one to bring you back, Ms. Thalia,” Hansel problematically said and my mouth hangs open due to the unexpected turning of events. If Giovanni will go here then it will be doomed for me, other bosses will hear upon his arrival.My feet got cold as my blood boils in every vein of my being I inhaled deeply and gritted my teeth afterward. “He is getting into my nerves!” I said to him and he look at me sympathizing due to his boss’ decision.“I told you, Ms. Thalia. He will have you by hook or crook this time,” Hansel said and taps my shoulder the moment he passes by to go to the living room and join his buddies.I hold tightly to the phone I am holding right now as if my sanity is on it.What the hell is he wanted? Isn’t it enough that I suffered emotionally in his hands and he wants it for part
THALIA ISABELLE“Follow me to the garden now,” I told to Giovanni as soon as I composed myself and breathe hardly. I made my way into the garden. The sun is setting to the west letting the darkness dominates the skies.I felt his presence behind me so I cleared my throat and made myself ready for our talks.“You’re going to stay here in the house,” I said to him and I felt him sit down beside me, I am trying to control myself to not look in his direction although my body wants to. “I am grateful for that,” he said and I snort.“My parents knew about our marriage and they want to meet you tomorrow,” I said and made a schedule for their meeting. I heard him chuckle and stretch his arms forward. “I am wondering why your father did not blow my plane as soon as I entered the country’s airspace,” he co
