There are things that no matter how hard we try to avoid still it will happen. I was unaware that I've been playing death since the beginning that Vicenzo set his eyes on me, the moment I accept his hand for a handshake is the moment I start to skate on the thin ice.I was clueless about it, I set aside my fear of marrying him and acted as if nothing has changed. But when the reality of life slapped me with the life that I already had as Vicenzo's wife, fear suddenly becomes visible in my eyes. But it's too late for me to step back with the choice I made because I found something from Vicenzo that makes me stay no matter what the circumstances are.I just didn't know that it could be this hard..."Where's the woman?" I heard a stern voice that made me gulp with fear.I can't see anything. My eyes are covered with this rough cloth, in short, they blindfolded me. My both hands are also tied to my back. I'm sitting on this steel chair that always creates an

"Get that woman away from here" Cipriss demanded."Are you really going to revenge your wife by killing someone like her?" I unbelievably ask him.He stops walking and looks at me in dead eyes. I can see, that he's taken aback because he couldn't open his mouth to speak. I know everyone has their own share of sorrow. I know I shouldn't judge him because I didn't know anything. I didn't know the pain he experience when he lost his wife, but I know how does it feel like to lost someone you really love.I do not want to invalidate his anger, his grief, and his mourning. But does it need to end like this? Do people need to commit the same mistake just to console their wounded hearts? I am not sure if it is valid, or if it is reasonable enough to kill someone like me."Do not mention my wife, ever again" he gritted his teeth.I press my lips together."How far are you willing to take just to avenge her death? Will you be in peace seeing someone d

"LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO YOU?!" my father growl like a mad man.I flinch, shocked with his sudden outburst full of rage and madness. Even Mommy Adie was surprised with Daddy while Aliah on the other hand is sitting beside Gordon."Roman calm down, just think about your blood pressure" Mommy Adie whisper and shot a glare at me.I shook my head and took a deep breath."Let's talk calmly Dad," I lift my head and turn my gaze at him "We won't fix this misunderstanding if your mind is clouded with anger""This is not misunderstanding Svanna Rose!" He angrily exclaimed and snatch his arm away from Mommy Adie's grip "I rather locked you up in our house than to always visit you inside this fucking hospital! I'm not gonna attend a funeral ceremony for my daughter!" He hissed.I bit my lower lip and squeeze my eyes close. I understand his concern. Of course, I am his daughter- he's worried and he just wants me safe. I am glad that he can now show me my wo

"How did Cypress know about me?" I query."Jana..." he whisper "She's a traitor. She's a spy from the council at first to make sure that I am following the deal and then suddenly she turn her back to Sovrano and give the information about you to Navarra brothers" he gritted his teeth and anger is now evident in his eyes.Navarra brothers are Cipriss Navarra and Cypher Navarra. They both died when Vicenzo ambushed the place. I don't know how, Vicenzo didn't specifically explain that part to me. He just told me that they are already dead. Cypress is no longer functioning because the both heirs to the throne is now dead."Why did she betray us?" I confusingly whisper.Jana seem so nice to me. Now I understand why she so easy to talk- because she's not just a maid. She's a spy from the Sovrano council. It only means that she's an assassin like Piato."I don't know," Vicenzo shrugged his shoulder and glance at me "Cypress plan is to expose you to everyo

"If I say I do, will you say I do too?"My lips parted as I look at Vicenzo with my teary-eyed. I don't know what to say, all I know is my emotions are over flowing right now. The sound of the shallow water is like a music to my ears now and the cool wind breeze is like a soothing symphony that makes the moment right now romantic while my husband is kneeling in front of me."Svanna Rose Zeneca-Santorini, to tell you the truth. I don't have much to offer to you. I thought, I can give you everything when I start to want you the moment I lay my eyes on you, but then, when I held you in my hands and cage you in my arms I realize that you deserve someone better than me. I realize that you deserve a man who will back you up without limits, a man who will let you grow without borders and a man who can offer you things that you wanted and needed the most. And I am just Vicenzo Santorini, the man who tricked your father just to make you mine but I still dare to want you" he sho
