บททั้งหมดของ The Veil of Vengeance: Love, Betrayal and Redemption : บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

I bid Marco farewell with a warm hug, knowing it's time to head to the office. Nate is already waiting outside, so I quickly gather my things and make my way towards the door. Just as I'm about to leave, Becca arrives, and although I won't be present for whatever discussion they're about to have, I trust Marco to fill me in on the details later. “Don’t stay too long.” “I won’t.” I promise with deep meaning. I head towards the car where Nate holds the door open for me, I raise my head to smile my appreciation at me but he quickly shuffles his eyes away. Odd. I shrug it off and climb into the car. I keep reading several articles throughout the drive till we pull into the driveway. “Thank you.” I say as I step out. Adanna isn’t waiting at the door today which I take to be a good sign, it means there is nothing pressing that requires my attention. I walk into the building, nodding politely to the greetings from every corner. There is this shuffling in my workers eyes

Every time I think about how Marco has been treating me with so much love and spoiling me silly, I can't help but blush. I need no soothsayer to tell me that this is genuine love. The way he was so quick to defend me when I narrated everything that happened at the office the other day. How he sends me flowers, chocolates and selfies of himself. The goofy ones keep me going on bad days. I just have to look at them and boom, I feel better.Waking up to love notes on days he has to leave the house really early. His failed attempt at trying to whip up breakfast which I forced myself to eat just to make him feel good but ended up with a running stomach. The things we do for love. I can't wait till he sees my painting of him. This has to be my best artwork so far. “You seem happier than I've seen you in ages, my dear.” mother says stretching me a glass of juice as she seats next to me. “Mother, these past weeks with Marco have been absolutely divine.”“I can see that, we can all see tha

This dress Marco picked out for me is beyond stunning. The vibrant orange fabric moderately hugs my curves, and at the tips of the dress, delicate feathers cascade gracefully, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. As I walk, the feathers sway gently, creating a mesmerizing effect that makes me feel like I'm floating on air.The fabric itself is incredibly soft against my skin, and the medium slit offers a tantalizing glimpse of skin with each step, adding a subtle allure to the outfit. The colour of the dress seamlessly blends with my skin tone, and it complements the hues of my hair perfectly, cascading down in loose waves, creating a balanced and glowing appearance. It's as if the dress was tailor-made to enhance my natural beauty, and I can't help but feel like a goddess wearing it.To complete the look, Marco arranged for a professional makeup artist to glam me up, and I couldn't be more pleased with the result. My features are enhanced just enough to highlight my best quali

“Tell me the truth, Marco are you dying?”“No. Why would you ask me that?” I wonder.“You are moving at a pace that feels like you are dying.”“Very funny.”“I’m stressed. We could have flown out tomorrow in a private jet for free yet you making us go through this horrible experience barely after a long crucial meeting simply because you want to see Valentina. Really which of you is dying?”“None of us. Stop whining, you are not a child. Don’t you miss Flora? You should be happy I forced you to fly down today.”“You do know the weekend is in three days?” “Are we still on this topic?”“Don’t you think you are making hasty decisions? The public is going to think you are doing all of this to leach unto her money.”“The public can think whatever they want to think, I couldn’t care less. Nonna and mother gave me their blessings already and that's all that matters. We aren't couples who are about to just get married in case you seem to forget. It is a very small intimate occasion. Only fr

I recall memories from last night, smiling sheepishly as I flip our pancakes.“Argghhh,” Mother screams, running into the kitchen.“Alberto's response just came in as I turned on my phone.”“What did he say?”“He loves the idea and wants to know when I would be available for the date,” Mother gushes. She gives me a tight hug before kissing me on the cheek.“It’s been a long time coming. Fingers crossed it turns out to be a great dinner that will lead to many more and maybe a lifetime together.”“Me too. I should tell Nonna.”“Tell me what?”Nonna appears, trying to rub sleep from her eyes.“Alberto loves the idea of us going on a date. He also said he had always wanted to ask me out but didn’t know how you would take it.”“I’m glad Valentina made that call yesterday,” she responds, genuinely happy for Mother.“Have you guys picked a date?”“Not yet, after Valentina’s wedding.”“Wonderful. Speaking of the wedding, any update from Adanna?”“Yes, we spoke this morning. Everything has bee
