"Good morning, my Giovanna!" I said to the baby, who was sitting in a baby stroller. Silver delivered it last night. I kissed her chubby cheeks. We are in the garden watching the mountains, birds, and blue skies together. I was startled when someone kissed me on my cheeks. It was the jerk. "Good morning, babe. Good morning to my baby girl," Giovanni said; she giggled at what she heard from her father. "I know who is her favorite now," Giovanni said. I fake my smile at him and look at my baby girl. She smiled at us. "She loves to smile," Giovanni commented. I nodded. "Sandro sent me her detailed information and her monthly check-up. Everything is good," Giovanni said and pinched her chubby cheeks. "That's good to know," I responded. "Are you not going to work today?" I asked him. "I am on sick leave. Between you and I, who should be at the office now?" he asked as he wiggled his eyebrows. I stomped my feet

My whole body is sore from our extreme activities last night that lasted until dawn. I groaned when I felt the pain in between my thighs. My eyes widened when I saw the time mounted on the wall. "Oh my gosh!" I reacted.I get Giovanni's bathrobe beside me to wrap around my naked body. I stood up, but I fell on the floor. "Ouch!" I reacted. After the pleasure, here comes the pain! I will kick Giovanni later. "Let me carry you, babe," Giovanni said, carrying me in a bridal style. I snorted. "You should've gone gentle on me," I said to him while heading to the bathroom. "I did, babe," he patiently said to me, but I just rolled my eyes on him. He put me down on the edge of the bathtub. "Should I bathe you, or you can do this alone?" he asked. "Giovanni, how's my baby girl?" I asked him. "Hansel is taking care of her for a while because I need to assist her, Mommy," he said and winked at me. I gave him a light punch on his chest. "Don't tell me you told that in front of Hansel?" I aske

Giovanni remained in his position and it's been there for hours, he is silent but I can hear his small sobs that break my heart. He needs to release all his emotions. I can see him wiping his tears and his shoulders are moving. I stood up to give him a glass of water. "Drink water, Giovanni," I calmly said to him as I stood in front of him. He look up at me, and my eyes became soft and teary-eyed. I can see how broken he is. There's so much pain in his eyes. His hand is shaking as he gets the glass from my hand. "Giovanni," I called him. "D-Don't tell me to stop crying. The pain is so unbearable," he said as he closed his eyes. He dropped the glass to the floor and it breaks. I immediately pick up the portions of the broken glass. "Just like these pieces, they are like trust. It is broken and you can't unbreak it," he spoke out. "Yes," I firmly said. I pick up the pieces of broken glass and bring a towel to gather the tiny

My head hurts as I stare at my monitor's screen, I am reading the information of the man we found. He was once a janitor in the company of Giovanni. But he was fired because of being an informant from the other competing company. I nodded. The thing is some of his information is private. I want to know if he is connected to any groups. I have a strong feeling that he is a member of a certain group. It is past three in the morning, and I can't fall asleep yet but I need to sleep. So, I stand up and carry my laptop. I close the door. Giovanni is still sleeping and I yawned. He moved so I look at him, and he is like having nightmares. I went to his side to get the jar in his hand. "Stay away from me!" he shouted, so I was startled. He open his eyes quickly and formed his fists ready to fight. "Hold on, Giovanni! I am Thalia!" I said to him. His breathing became slow, and his eyes calmed down. "I thought you're an enemy," he said. "I will become your enemy once you broke the small ja

I was startled when I saw Freya standing in front of our room, Giovanni woke up earlier than me and he went to his office already. “Good morning, Mrs. Brickser,” she greeted me and I nodded at her. “Same here. Just call me Thalia,” I told her and her eyes were shining. “Okay, Thalia!” she said and I nodded. She moved when I got out of the room. “Where’s Giovanna?” I asked her. I am still worried and do not trust her because I haven’t received any information from Silver. “She’s still sleeping, Thalia. I came here because Sir Giovanni asked me to ask you if you need anything," she said and I nodded. "Just be with Giovanna, that’s all I need. I can manage myself,” I firmly said. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. I took a step towards Giovanna’s room. I found my daughter sleeping peacefully on the top of the bed with pillows around her. I kissed her forehead and fixed her blanket. “Sshhh...” I said as I patted her small and cute thigh because she moved a little bit. I found
