Lahat ng Kabanata ng Foxy And Her Guardian : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

After spending a few hours in Mateo’s penthouse, Faith established a few things about the man. One, Mateo screams money. The place is insanely luxurious with two stories, a patio, and a pool as a part of a penthouse! Two, Mateo is a dull person. His penthouse divides into three major colors, white, black and grey – much like his wardrobe. Faith doesn’t mind it. She believes the place looks extremely sophisticated because of the use of fewer colors. Three, Mateo loves gardening. The man has many indoor and outdoor plants – which according to Blaire, he likes to look after himself when he has time. And the four and most important thing that Faith learned was, that Mateo Nixon has a pet cat! Faith was currently sitting on the floor, with a beautiful and very chubby orange cat lazily laying on the floor in the sun. “Hey, Rex!” Faith cooed the cat in a squeaky voice. Rex looked at Faith before she stretched herself and yawned. Faith couldn’t help but giggle. This was such a pleasant surpr

(Trigger Warning! Mention of Violence/Torture)Faith asked Levi and Mateo to her some alone time with Ethan, who was already chained up to the painfully small chair. Since he was not in any position to harm Faith, the two men walked out – leaving Faith alone with Ethan, who was barely awake. Faith felt a shiver running down her spine when she saw Ethan. Her eyes filled with tears when she recalled his innocent face that always had a smile on it. It was not covered with bruises, cuts, and blood. His hands were chained behind the chair, while his legs were chained to the legs of the chair. Faith flinched at the state he was in. He was completely hosed down from head to toe. She realized that Mateo and Levi’s form of torture isn’t just physical. Levi hasn’t let Ethan sleep for the last twenty-four hours. Therefore, he looked like he was about to pass out. He could barely keep his eyes open. Whenever his eyes drop, Levi or someone from his men wakes Ethan up by hosing him down with cold

In the eye of the world, the Bianchi and Ricci families were friends and business partners. The alliance between the two families enjoyed the monopoly of the market for almost a century. For the world, they were inseparable but as the generation succeed, the greed to enjoy the sole monopoly rot the relationship between the two clans – still in the eyes of the world, they pretended to be one unit, whereas behind the curtain the families schemed to take one another down. Their disapprobation for each other was never apparent – not even to each other’s faces or in private. Both families hold a sweet knife at each other’s throats. (A/N: Sweet knife is used as an idiom in some cultures. It roughly translates to sugarcoat the deception.)The beef between the families intensified when Aldo Bianchi and Aurora Ricci (Mateo and Dante’s mother) came into power. Mateo’s father was killed before he could take his father and grandfather’s place as the head of the family, which the Ricci family blam

Any normal human, who is meeting their long-lost sibling for the first, would start with questions such as; How was your childhood? What have you studied? What do you do? How was your relationship with your other siblings and parents? But what is normal about Faith’s life that she gets to ask such mediocre and bonding questions to her elder brother? Nothing…Instead, Faith had other questions, which would petrify any ordinary person – such as: What does the Bianchi family does? What is the story of Zeta and Dante? Who does Kai think is trying to kill Faith? Why is Mateo not trusted by Kai? How well does Kai know Mateo? Where is Aldo hiding? Is he even alive? Who sent Ethan after her? And everything about murders, betrayal, revenge, and crimes. Never did she think, her life would revolve around the factor that she hates the most – violence. Faith slowly blinked as she looked out of the window wall – her eyes fixed on the orange sky. It has been hours since Faith came to see Kai. The n

“Are you okay, Faith?” Steven gently asked. Faith swallowed the lump in her throat, “No,” She whispered. How could she be okay after what information Steven just got for her? She was surprised when Kai informed Faith that Mateo’s assistant is here to see her. She remembers Mateo mentioning him when she asked him to look into her father’s phone records. She didn’t think Mateo will go through it now that he banished her from his life, but here is his assistant – giving her the most absurd news she could ever receive. Ethan is her father’s son. How is that possible? How could it be? She wasn’t willing to accept it, and she wouldn’t have if Steven didn’t come with all the proofs. Ethan’s birth certificate had Howard’s name as his father, not just that there was a paternity test that proved that Ethan is Howard’s son. Faith didn’t think she would get more shocks in her life, but she was wrong. And this one just shook her to her very core. Steven fixed his glasses by pushing them by the
