I walked towards the hallway, and I met Silver. “Hello, Thalia. Does your husband have a plan on eating his dinner?” he asked me, and I shrugged my shoulders. “Ask him,” I replied. He was surprised but didn’t speak. At least he knew how to read the atmosphere. I went straight to my daughter’s room, and she was drinking her milk. “I will sleep here tonight, Freya,” I told her, and she nodded. “I’ll sleep on the sofa,” she told me. I went to Giovanna and kissed her cheek. “Mommy will sleep beside you tonight,” I happily informed her. Freya didn’t ask why I was sleeping here, and that’s what I am thankful for. At midnight, I unexpectedly felt thirsty for water, and there was no pitcher or bottled water. I don’t have a choice but to go into the kitchen to get water to drink. I carefully walked so I wouldn’t disturb their sleep. The lights were dimmed. That’s why I do not worry about being tripped off somewhere. I was about to enter the kitchen when I heard two people talking. Giovanni

Freya handed me my phone which was currently ringing because Giovanni was calling me. I rolled my eyes before answering him.“Where.are.you?” he asked firmly. I gulped because the type of his voice sounded like he was not having any fun. “We’re in the children’s park in the village,” I answered him and didn’t mind his voice although it wavered me for a while. “Hansel said you are not in the house. Thalia, if you are going somewhere, I beg you, notify me. You are giving me a heart attack,” he said and I rolled my eyes. “Stop being a dramatic king, Giovanni. We are not going somewhere far from the house,” I told him and I scratched my forehead.Alexandra, his son, my daughter, and Freya are watching me. “It doesn’t matter if I sounded like a drama king to you. I am worried as fuck when I learned you are not in the house, Thalia. I thought you left me,” he said and his voice was low in the last words although I understand it. “That’s not going to happen, Giovanni. If my family saw me a

Late at night I am sitting in the gazebo watching the dark skies and breathing the cold wind of September. The wind brushing on the trees that turn into orange as autumn season enters. I yawned as I felt my eyes are getting heavier so I decided to go inside. “Ma’am, there’s a parcel for you,” one of our security guards reached to me when I was inside the house. Giovanni is reading some documents with his eyeglasses. Freya is walking to the stairs with Giovanna in her arms. “What is that?” Giovanni asked. “I don’t know,” I answered. I sat down beside him as I opened the brown box with a bubble wrap. There are no details of the sender. “I suspect that this parcel is a threat,” I commented and Giovanni put his documents on the coffee table in front of us.He was the one who opened the box and I winced at the sight inside of the box. “What the fuck?” he asked as he picks the white bond paper with blood splattered on it. “It’s disgusting,” I said. “I will bring this to the team and they

My brother, Harris, is standing in front of me while I am on the floor kneeling and hugging Penny tightly. I can see the anger in his eyes as he closed his fists tightly. “H-Harris,” I mentioned his name and he just stared at me with so much pain. He immediately pulled me up to wrap me in his arms.Another set of tears is released when I feel his warm hug. I feel like I didn’t hug him for so many years, I feel like he found me finally. “Hush, my little sister,” he whispered to my ears. I pulled myself from hugging him and wiped my tears. “What are you doing here?” I asked him. He took a deep breath. “I visited you when I learned what happened last night, Thalia,” he answered me and I nodded. “But how did you know here?” I asked him again because I was curious how he came here when I did not give any details. “I asked your husband and he led me here,” he simply answered and I nodded. He eyed me intensively and I gulped because I knew what it meant but I tended to ignore it because I

I leaned on Giovanni as I whispered in his ears. “Where are the visitors?” I asked him and he pointed them inside the office. On every floor, Giovanni has his office. We are in the UG 4. He held my waist and pulled me in the direction of his office. When we got inside, they stood up and bowed their heads. The atmosphere becomes unfamiliar because of these strangers. Okay. I looked at them and started counting inside my head, so, they are fifteen men in complete black suits. “Good morning, Mr and Mrs Brickser,” they said in unison raised my right eyebrow. I nodded with a smile on my face. I roamed my eyes to the office and it didn’t have appliances but only a couch, table, aircon, and lights. It adds to the strong ambience of this room. My eyes went immediately to their boss which means Leighrandra’s husband, he looked like a simple man but with a high intelligence quotient. So, this is what Leighrandra’s taste in men, she’s attracted to high-IQ men. No wonder because she can be stu
