Does that mean that she had spent her entire morning cooking for Vincent, doing the dishes and then arguing with him?Heaving a very deep sigh of frustration, Jane quickly had her muffins and orange juice before retiring to her room.At least the chocolate chip muffins were really good.She didn’t really know how to cook, but that was her special secret recipe.Vincent and Jane went on with the rest of their day like they usually did on regular Sundays.Vincent stayed in his room all day long doing God knows what as he peeked out his room’s window to see Jane reading a book in the garden, he smiled to himself.After finishing the snatched orange juice that Jane had earlier, Vincenr dropped the glass cup on a small desk in his room.He stared at if for a while before he came to a final conclusion “I just knew there was something special about this one!” He said, trying so hard to convince himself that both glass
“Vincent!”“What is this?!” Looking up at the big window, Jane yelled out to Vincent who rested his chin, cupping it with his left palm which was supported by his elbow, looking down and with a witty smile on his face.“What is what?” He reiterated maintaining that position.“Why are you bent on disturbing my peace and quiet this afternoon”“I might not be quiet but I am…….Your peace”Was he being serious right now?Jane thought to herself as the space between them fell silent for a while.In a calm voice, Jane breathed in before asking Vincent “What’d you want?”“I want you to save me!”“Save you?” Jane asked out loud with a puzzled look on her face.“Yes!”“I don’t understand”“Give me a minute, I’ll just let my hair down so that you can climb up and come get me”Hold on…….That sentence seemed familiar to the storyline of a familiar cartoon.It was Rapunzel.“How did he even know?”Shaking her head, Jane realised that she wouldn't be surprised if Vincent actually watched cartoons.J
Jane sat right beside Vincent by the driver’s seat of the car.Having absolutely nothing to do, she sat there with her face buried in her phone.Suddenly a realisation hit Jane as she the long quiet drive reminded of something she had shoved at the back of her mind earlier.It was the day of Elizabeth and Samuel’s wedding, right before she left The Vincenzo Residence with Vincent.She didn’t bother questioning him that day because he didn’t seem like he was in the mood and she could also see that he was in such a hurry because they were already running out of time.His mind was somewhere else at that moment.She had totally forgotten to ask him about his past before her, especially about his mother.Vincent was driving with full concentration as he had his entire being attentively focused on the road, he didn’t want history to repeat itself.That would be an entire generation down the drain.Although th
Vincent’s father wouldn’t have wanted him fighting his uncles and raising lawsuits against them.It was a deadly game which was equivalent to playing with a torch lit by fire on both ends.Vincent was wealthy and powerful now but they were wise and even much wiser than he was.They knew a lot that he didn’t and they were also capable of doing a lot that he couldn’t, even if it meant getting their brother’s only child out of the way.They would do a clean job and leave not a single evidence behind.They were very experienced people when it came to the dark side of the business world.Elder Mr. Vincenzo was not their first and if at all Vincent dared to try anything rash, Vincent would certainly not be their last.If they could do such to their own blood brother, what made anyone think that they wouldn't do it all over again to his only offspring.Vincent knew that the only way to bring them down was to have them
Vincent’s Rolls Royce drove from the main gate of the residential area, down to The Vincenzo Residence.As they approached the building, Jane pulled out the gate’s remote key and pressed the unlock button which automatically made the large grey coloured gate slide slowly to the left until it was completely wide open.With that, Vincent drove into his building and straight into his garage to pack the car back in the exact position it was before he drove it out of its place for Samuel and Elizabeth’s wedding.The moment he parked the car properly, Vincent alighted and locked it right after Jane got out.With both his hands in his pocket, he breathed in a gust of fresh air while looking up at his enormous building with a smile “Home sweet home” Seeing how dark it already was, Vincent reached for the left pocket of his shorts only to feel a wave of shock as both his eyes widened.He quickly turned back to the car and opened it with
She was awoken by the rays of sunlight that brushed her skin as she lightly tossed and turned while she stretched her arms and legs in bed.It completely slipped her mind to draw the curtains before she went to bed the previous night.Even if she had remembered then, she would’ve been too tired to get back up and do the needful.Those rays had disrupted her sleep and there was no going back now, she couldn't continue her sleep.Jane dragged herself out of bed and straight to her closet for a bathrobe before proceeding to her bathroom in order to freshen up for the day.Suddenly she paused, stopping right in her tracks as she maintained complete silence in her room for a while.“Did I just hear a scream?” Jane thought to herself as she decided to shrug off the feeling and proceed to carry on with her morning routineBlaming the scream she supposedly heard on mere hallucination instead due to the fact that she didn’t wake
“Tell me…..”The room fell silent for a while as Samuel was reluctant to answer that question knowing fully well that it would break her heart and throw everything out of place.But the time had finally come.“Sammy, whose is it?”Elizabeth was beginning to get more confused and concerned with what Samuel was talking about.Things were beginning to seem more serious by the minute.“Samuel!”“Is there something you're not telling me?!”The room was still silent as Samuel’s ears were still recovering from the echoing thunder of Elizabeth’s voice.“Samuel!”“Is there something you’re not telling me?!”Samuel just stood there thinking on how best to explain the situation to his wife.“Samuel I’m asking you a question”“Whose house is th…... .Vincent!” Samuel finally spoke out, interrupting her in the middle of her speech.Elizabeth’s eyes widened the moment she h
Jane stood there, just watching the entire thing happen.She knew very well that if Elizabeth should sight him, she would be the next victim of her rage.“Poor Samuel…..”He was warned about this.He was given multiple chances to think things through.Still, he chose to go on with this?Was he really that blinded by love….……Or was he just foolish?It was quite obvious by now…….He was a fool for love!Now the hall went completely silent as the only thing that could be heard at that moment was Elizabeth’s heavy breathing.Vincent and Samuel stood in place, both staring back and forth at each other and then at Elizabeth with Jane staring at them all by the far end of the hall.The hall remained that way, dead silent until Vincent finally spoke out, breaking the silence that enveloped the place “Elizabeth, what exactly is the problem?!”The moment she heard this, Elizabeth’s head
