I was expecting to see Rosa still sleeping beside me as I was woken up brutally by the sudden coldness sipping through my skin, the once comforter that covered my whole body now is tossed to the side of the bed leaving me with nothing and exposed to the cold air. I look over the room in blurry as my vision is adjusting to the light. What time is it now? Once realizing that I was alone in the room and not at my house, I let out a tired breath before deciding to check on the time. Oh, I hate this. I close my eyes to think of today. I really don't want to see him, Not even in a thousand years. I don't wish to even cross paths with him if I were to choose my fate but I'm tired of him trailing after me like prey. I need to get this done. • • • I keep looking for Rosa around the big and empty house leading to one way from another which almost makes me lost in the confusing hallways. Don't judge me, I don't come here often, only when Rosa asks me. I stood in the middle of the big kitc

I spend a night at Rosa's place and I was relieved to find out that Vincenzo is not staying around tonight or I don't know how am I going to act around him. He makes me act like a teenage girl with unstable hormones. Rosa said that her father had asked him to accompany us for the night but due to important work he couldn't stay any longer than a day. My mother come home earlier than expected because she said that work end quickly as it went well. I'm glad that finally, I'm able to see my mother after a whole week of not seeing her. We spend the night together, just the three of us. Although the house seems quiet despite the lack of people around but the two people whom I know by heart are enough to light up this quiet place. I excused myself after long hours of talking and watching a movie that was only displayed as background music. Pretending to be sleepy because, if I don't do that they will not let me go anywhere and for once I need a break from all the gossiped that they have

  I sigh in contentment when finally my skin comes in contact with the water flowing down my entire body making me shiver in coldness when I realize that I have yet to turn the water heater. Switching it on with just one click I continue cleaning my once sweaty body and get my business done. I took my time in the shower before I step inside my room and get changed into something comfortable. A plain big t-shirt with a short come along with it. The best stay-at-home fits ever. I was contemplating with myself for about another half a minute whether I should put on my bra or not because honestly, I wasn't feeling like wearing it right now, especially when I'm at home but the thought that I wasn't alone was the problem here. The t-shirt is big enough to not stick to my body

I never asked Rosa what her family did because I respect her and her family's privacy and I never asked my mother about any of this but when a piece of the puzzle connects, it makes me dizzy.Who is Vincenzo? and why is he involved in all of this?For once I didn't want to believe what my mind started to believe.I never agree or like doing what I'm doing but when I discover all the truth about all these men, all these kinds of people. It always makes me sick.Politics, Drugs dealer, Human trafficking-List all of it, I was forced to deal with it. Why? because once upon a time I was good at being a puppet for Luigi and now I regret ever coming across all these people. Him.As a child, my parents were always busy and rarely spent time with me due to their work, at night I always listen to them bickering about everything, sometimes even at dinner.They thought that I was a kid I would never understand what they are talking about but as I grew older in my teens year my curiosity about al

"No Rosa I can't" I tried to explain to her the reason that I couldn't attend today's dinner with her family because I was busy but like usual she wouldn't even listen to me.My sigh fills the whole space inside my room while my hands keep roaming around the file lying in front of me. It was an awful sight for me the mess displayed after my eyes."But Angela! Everyone is here and they want you here!" I move away a little as her loud voice pierces my eardrum."Yes, I know just... I'm busy-"It was true that I'm busy but the real reason is still because of the one person who I know by heart will be there and probably... will be there.I couldn't see him. Not physically. Not only because of the night when we shared a kiss but also because of the night when I met him at the ball.I don't know how my reaction will be if I ever see him at this moment. It was all so messy and chaotic inside my head. I couldn't put one to one puzzle and gather all information in just a week-well 5 days to be
