Leniela slowly flung the door open and stepped inside their bedroom. Her beautiful smile instantly sank the moment her eyes moved from the empty sofas to the large neat bed and then the silence coming from the bathroom.She knew by this time he was back; she saw his favorite car packed outside from Nathalia's window the instant he came but instead of coming to see her, he went somewhere else as always."Why would he bother today either?". She asked sheepishly as she peeled off her gown from her body, threw it on the bed and walked to the bathroom. She thought of having a bath in the tub but knew it would take her longer which she did not have the patience at this point. What she wanted was to close her eyes and sleep so she wouldn't think about him.Contrary to what she wanted, the moment she got inside the glass and turned on the shower to let the water stream down her body and her back leaned to the wall, her mind drifted off to the events happening lately.Days seem to have develo

Cesare stood transfixed not because of the impact of the slap from her little palms but because he had just realized what he had just done. He didn't even bother soothing the red spot."I'm sorry baby.. I don't know what came over me". He stammered uncontrollably as he tried to hold her but Leniela stepped away from him."Jealousy came over you". She softly answered a tear trailing down her cheek. " You've lost your sense of reasoning that you now doubt me. Do you think If I wanted to, I wouldn't have slept with Aldo a long time ago even before I met you?" She asked."I'm sorry babe, I promise It won't happen again". He pleaded."You wanted to talk? Fine let's talk, let's talk about what has been truly happening to you!". She pointed a finger at him."When last did you have a meal with me?" she asked and he went numb."When was the last time you checked if I was doing alright?""When last did I wake up to see you on the bed?". She half yelled, veins popping out of her neck as tears f

"Sir, there's someone here to see you". The lady said."I thought my schedule was free for the rest of the day?"."Well, yes Sir but this is really urgent and I don't think we can neglect this person".Leniela and Emma who were listening behind the closed door were sure the man had his forehead narrowed on who his assistant was talking about."Alright".The door was pulled open for them and Leniela walked in first without passing a glance at the Assistant while Emma on her path took time to smirk devilishly at the lady. Emma knew Leniela's threats earlier were still ringing in her head that's why she's doing her best to be kind to them.Well, good luck with that. Emma mocked inwardly with a smirk and threw her a last glance."Tell me it's not you two my Assistant is referring to". The elderly man in black suit was seated behind the huge desk. There was a desktop in front of him, some files neatly arranged by the side and a big italian flag on the background."Good day to you sir". Le

Cesare skipped from the balcony and landed on the floor still standing. He loaded his gun again and began chasing after Rocco. "Rocco!". He yelled when he got really close to them.Rocco quickly wrapped his arm around Leniela's neck and positioned the gun on her head."Let her go!". Cesare commanded, still aiming at him."You really don't know when to quit huh!". Rocco smirked devilishly.By then Cesare's men who were with him earlier were already approaching them."Stop where you are and drop your weapons or she'll suffer the consequences". Rocco barked towards them but none of them yielded to his commands.Bang!"Ahh!". Leniela screamed in horror."Men, stand down! Drop your weapons!". Cesare finally ordered placing his own gun on the floor carefully.Rocco led out a satisfying laugh. "Look at you all, panicking just with a mere shot in the air. What would happen if I actually shot her right in front of you?". He asked adjusting his gown carefully on her head."She has nothing to d

TWO DAYS LATER"Slowly…, take it gently and...alright,". Leniela settled Amalia cautiously on the seat with a smile."You don't have to treat me like a kid you know, I'm fine already even the Doctor said so. What's left is to get this thing off my arm". Amalia gestured to the armrest with a frown.They had just returned from a checkup at the hospital. Amalia had woken the next day in the morning after her operation. The mother and daughter cried in each other's arms , happy to see that they were still alive and together. Leniela had wept and asked for forgiveness and promised never to leave her again. Amalia on her part, welcomed her with open arms and narrated how Rocco's men barged into the house and drugged her and the next thing she knew was her passing out.Leniela wiggled her head in amusement as she went back inside the kitchen."I don't think that's what the Doctor said Mom. Stop being stubborn". She scolded."You weren't there when he said it". Amalia argued.Leniela returne
