SWNOVELS Chapter 24
MARIANNE
I didn't even realize when I slept off and the next morning came so quick. I suddenly heard a knock on the door and then realized that I didn't just wake up all by myself, the knocks on the door actually did. You know it's difficult to wake up from a sweet sleep that you're having at a very peaceful and beautiful place.
"A few secs, I'm coming." I managed to yell in a muffled voice, I'm sure the person at the door didn't hear my voice at all.
I felt so lazy to stand up from the bed but eventually did, my hair was scattered all over and my eyes still feels very sleepy.
I felt like I didn't sleep a wink throughout the night even though I slept like a baby, I just craved for more sleep.
I flipped the strands of my hair that was blocking my vision backward and dragged my feet to the door.
I opened the door and it turns out to be one of the concierges. Like seriously, let it not be that she actually came to just wake me up, is it a norm for them to wake up their guest at a particular period of time. "Good morning Mrs D'Onofrio, I supposed you had a wonderful night ma,"She greeted with bright smiles and I was taken aback by what she called me.
How did she know I was married to Ricardo? That fowl can't possibly blabber about it when he isn't even happy and proud of our union.
"Is there any problem or did I say something wrong?" She asked after she must have noticed how I switched my facial expression. "How did you know I was married?"
"Oh that, that name was registered as the occupant of this room and your husband actually asked me to call you to come downstairs to have breakfast ma."
At that moment, I realized Ricardo didn't show up till I finally slept off. Like seriously? He just abandoned me in the room, sent dresses that are no way close to being my size and is now inviting me for breakfast, I'm sure he is going to pretend like nothing happened, he is never always wrong or willing to accept he wronged someone.
I knew I never wanted us to share the same room but it's not fair he just ignored and left me all by myself.
"Fine, I'm coming." I shut the door on her face and sighed.
So why does he wants to have breakfast with me now? Is he done being angry or what?
That stupid annoying jerk! Since he has chosen to ignore me, he should keep up with that same energy till this so called honeymoon is over.
I took a warm shower and changed into one of the clothes Ricardo sent to me last night.
Yeah, it's times five of my original size but I styled it to make it look better and fashionable.
I left the room and went downstairs for breakfast with the help of the few workers I came across.
I wonder why Ricardo would want to eat with me, I'm sure it's just an excuse to discuss something else.
As I climbed down the stairs, my eyes fell on a guy who was at the end of the stairway.

He backed me but his back view looked familiar, it wasn't Ricardo, his shoulders are broader, I'm not giving credit to that brat or complimenting him, it's just a fact I have to believe. I slowed down my steps as I watched this person intently. I froze when the person faced me, I had to lean on the wall for support so I won't stagger and fall off the stairs.
There's no way I'm seeing Oliver right now with my two eyes! It's not possible.
Am I beginning to hallucinate or did I miss him that much to start mistaking him for someone else?
I had to rub my eyes and look at him again, I wanted to be sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me.
"Marianne my love, there you are, I missed you so much!" Oliver suddenly called my name and my jaws dropped in shock, it was really Oliver!
What's he doing here? How come he Is in Italy? How did he find here? Did he find out about everything and decided to follow Ricardo and I? Did Sophia actually spill everything to him? Nah! It can't be, she would never do that!
I kept asking myself numerous questions without giving an answer. I kept standing on a spot while I stared at Oliver in shock till he suddenly closed up the distance between us and gave me a tight hug.
I gulped so hard without hugging him back, I know I'm supposed to be excited since I'm seeing the love of my life for the first time since I was brought here but I guess I was just too shocked that he showed up out of the blue.
I wanted to be the one to explain everything to him first before he found out the truth but I guess I was just too late. But if Oliver actually found out the truth, he should be mad at me right?
He slowly broke the hug and stared at me with a broad smile.

"You have no idea of how much I was crazily worried about you, I got scared thinking something might have happened to you because I know you would never leave me without my knowledge. I'm glad to have you in my arms again," He said happily and hugged me again while I wss battling with a lot of thoughts in my head.
"What...are...you...doing here? How...did...you...know I was here?" I stammered.
"Aren't you happy to see me? Don't worry, I know my sudden appearance must have startled you. I'm sorry you went through that hard phase alone, I received a call from a man named Ricardo and he told me about your forced marriage but it's insignificant to you both since you don't want it. He explained everything to me and I believed because I trusted you," Oliver revealed and I was surprised.
So it was Ricardo's handwork after all, he should have told me about it since it involves Oliver.
"He said the marriage means nothing to you both and our relationship can still go on. He offered to take care of my flight bills so I could see you but I turned him down, you know I can take care of that right? I just needed the right address to find my woman," He added and I exhaled sharply.
I was speechless and didn't know what to say, this is just too sudden!
"I..."
"You don't have to apologize, I understand you must have restrained from calling me because you didn't want to hurt my feelings. It's okay, let's leave all that aside and focus on ourselves. Let's make up for the times we've been apart from each other, you know I missed you so much right?" Oliver said as he carressed my cheeks and I kept staring blankly at him.
"I can move into Italy because of you, I..."
"Don't even try it! It's not necessary, let's talk later, I have to see someone." I released myself from his hold and rushed off immediately.
I'm going to look for that son of a bitch! He should have allowed me handle things in my own way! I wonder what else he must have told Oliver! I guess he couldn't wait to keep up his relationship with his stupid mistress!
