"Wife..." he called me in soothing voice but I just shook my head and smile bitterly."I thought Mommy Adeline was the villain- that she made Dad commit adultery and made Dad turn his back on his vows" I puckered my lips and trace my fingers on my Mom's name that was engraved on the tombstone "But it was us all along. It was Mom, it was me. We ruined their supposed family. We ruined Dad's happiness..." I sigh.There I said it... Everything is clear to me now. I just really need to meet my mother for me to think clearly. It would be biased judgement if I won't consider Dad, Mommy Adeline and Aliah. If I would just focused on what I would feel and what Mom's feel about all of these, it would be unfair for them.I licked my lower lip and then I hug my legs. The wind against the bare skin of my face is somehow comforting and Vicenzo beside me is enough for me to feel at ease. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea to give him a little trust for me to feel less anxious, less ner

They say the best things in life happen unexpectedly, and that is true. I already proven that today, tonight to be exactly.Sitting across Vicenzo while having a candlelight dinner is beyond my expectations. I mean, I never imagine having a candlelight dinner with him. To someone like him who doesn't even know how to smile gently and yet here I am. Amaze and still in daze with this unexpected dinner."Wife..." Vicenzo called me and reach my hand on the table wanting to get my attention.I lick my lower lip and turn my gaze on him giving him a small smile "Where's Gordon? " I ask out of nowhere because of too much discomfort.Although this is one of the best dinner I've ever experience, still I can't help but to feel discomfort because of the awkwardness I'm feeling right now. I don't know what happen to Vicenzo that he suddenly become like this. Well, he's still the Vicenzo that I knew but I think he change a little.Him telling me that he wanted t

I felt my feet froze on my spot as my face went pale. Instinctively, I pulled my wrist from Gianni's grip and harshly look at Vicenzo who's walking closer to me looking so mad and dangerous with his raging eyes, clenching jaw, gritting teeth and stern face.I immediately approach him and block his tall powerful frame with my small and slender body."Vicenzo let's just go inside please" I implore gripping his both wrist.I held my breath when he did stop and lowered hi head angling a little to face me giving me a cold blank stare."I-I... I don't want to see you two hurting each other just like what happen before. Let's just go inside..." I urge him."You go inside" he authoritatively order me "I'll talk to him myself" he hissed roughly.My grip on his wrist tighten shaking my head. The nervousness I'm feeling right now is making me hard to breath. My heart is beating so loud that I couldn't even know how to calm myself."No please..."

With our hand clasped together Vicenzo guide me to step inside the car. He even help me to wear the jacket properly because he didn't gave me the chance to change my clothes."Wait here" he said before he close the door beside me.I watch him out of the car window and I saw him talking to Calcifer and the other man who I don't know how to address. It seems like they were having a serious conversation base on the expression of their faces. Compared to the three of them, Calcifer is looking much calmer while Vicenzo seems like he's ready to kill someone."Do you know what happen Gordon?" I voice out not looking at Gordon."No young lady" he said.I turn my gaze on him and I look at him with suspicion. I'm not sure if Gordon is telling the truth because sometimes he is also siding Vicenzo and they all keep me in the dark."You don't look bother with what's happening around" I stated sounding a bit suspicious with him."My concern is only

"Are you sure you'll be okay without me?" I can't help but ask while we're eating breakfast. The questions in my head last night were like kept in the box. As I said, I don't dare to confront Vicenzo. Besides, I trust him. I gave him a little trust and that little trust slowly getting bigger and bigger. Although I'm doubting a little, there is a voice inside my head saying 'your husband will never betray you and that's what I'm holding. "Your husband is Saint Vicenzo Santorini, wife" he chuckles and pinches my left cheek "Don't worry too much" he assures me. I heard Calcifer whistle playfully but my eyes remain on Vicenzo for a couple of seconds before I look at Calcifer and smile. I glance at Greco too but it was too brief afraid that I might meet his gaze. Since last night, I feel a sudden aloofness towards him although we haven't talked even just for a short time still. I'm honestly afraid to look a
