I protect you in my own
Marco glanced at Letta briefly as Pedro contacted him, “Hold on, I have to take this call from Pedro. It seems to be an important report,” Marco said, nodding his head.
“Okay,” Letta replied, and Marco got up from his seat to kiss the top of Freya’s head, who was now in Letta’s lap, before walking towards the hospital window.
“Hello, tell me, what’s going on?” Marco asked.
“It seems Jacob has started to move. He has taken a flight from Dubai. That means he is going to meet his father soon,” Pedro said, making Marco grimace.
“So he was hiding there all this time. If that’s the case, keep monitoring what Carlos or Jacob is doing. After all, he can’t report that his father is being held or kidnapped because he’s actually in the Jovanka family mansion. It’s their fault for not letting go of the Jovanka name and for playing with what I already have,” Marco said with a devilish smile.
“I will usually do that, sir. But, won’t you meet Carlos before Jacob sees him? I think there’s something Carlos has been hiding all this time,” Pedro said, making Marco fall silent.
“They will say everything directly when Jacob starts moving. We just need to be cautious. Who knows, my dear cousin might have a brilliant idea to sneak back into our company’s network, and I want to keep an eye on where Jacob is. Whether he really will fly to this country or not,” Marco said, making Pedro nod.
“Alright, sir. I will do as you command,” Pedro said, after which Marco nodded, then hung up the phone. Marco then walked back towards Letta.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem again?” Letta asked, making Marco shake his head.
“No, it’s just that, dealing with these little rats that have been gnawing on their owner who has given them cheese. You know, I really don’t like rats like that,” Marco said, making Letta fall silent.
“Don’t be too harsh on someone. I’m afraid,” Letta said, making Marco furrow his brow, then reaching out to gently stroke Letta’s face.
“What are you afraid of? You are the wife of Jovanka. There’s nothing for you to fear,” Marco said, making Letta go silent.
“That’s why I’m scared, because I am the wife of a Jovanka. Don’t seek out frightening enemies like what happened to us in Chicago. Especially now that Freya is around us. I’m afraid that people might come after her too,” Letta said, making Marco fall silent. Of course, Marco had also thought about the safety of Letta and Freya. That’s why, up until now, Marco had never exposed Letta, especially about her pregnancy and Freya’s birth. Marco didn’t want the public to know about his private life. Marco was also aware of the danger they would face if he exposed his private life.
“That’s why I protect you in my own way. It’s not that I don’t want to publicize my beautiful wife, but I’m more concerned about the danger that might easily target us if Ishow how happy I am,” Marco said, making Letta nod her head.
Letta responded, “Yes, I know, but try to be a bit softer. Don’t be too harsh on those who hurt you. Let them do wrong, but let’s not retaliate with wrongdoing. I believe that God will repay them in a way that is fair in His eyes.”
Marco fell silent for a moment before responding, “Yes, I will try to do that, but somehow, maybe because it’s ingrained in me, I retaliate with what they have given me. Because life is repaid with life, I don’t want people to underestimate me. That’s why I behave like this. If soften even a little, they will take advantage even more, and I don’t want that to happen to me and my family.”
Letta then asked, “Is power and throne important to you?” Marco nodded his head in response.
“Yes, it’s very important. Because with that power, I can protect you. I don’t want to be a weak man who has nothing to hold onto to make you feel safe and happy. You know what I mean. Perhaps not all men in this world have the same answer as me. But, believe me, everything I do is for the happiness of our family. I won’t let you experience anything bad again. And don’t think I’m that cruel, because I also havea conscience. Those rats that always gnaw cruelly and slowly at their owner. If I stay silent, I will be the first one to be eliminated by them. And you don’t want that to happen, do you?” Marco said, making Letta fall silent before nodding her head.
“I’m sorry if I seem to not understand your position, but I just worry about you. I’m afraid if something bad happens to you. You know, you are the only one I have here, and I don’t know what I would do with Freya if you weren’t in our lives,” Letta said, making Marco reach out and cup his wife’s face, then gently kissing her forehead.
“Don’t worry, I will never leave you, no matter what happens. So, let’s just enjoy the new happiness that God has given us. We just need to focus on Freya, who is now present in our family. She brings us such complete joy,” Marco said, making Letta nod and smile, until Pedro called again, interrupting their moment.
“What is it this time?” Marco asked.
“Sir, I’m sorry, it seems we were wrong. Jacob is already in the country, and it looks like he’s about to start moving. He has deceived us by providing false data and instructing someone to report his departure from Dubai,” Pedro said, making Marco clench his jaw, visibly alarming Letta.
“In that case, prepare all your men and pick me up at the hospital,” Marco said, then hung up the phone, making Letta immediately look at Marco with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong? Has something bad happened?” Letta asked with a concerned look, but Marco still managed to show a reassuring smile.
“It’s nothing, I have to take care of something important with Pedro right now. I’ve instructed some guards to stand outside, and I’ve also asked the nurse to keep an eye on you and Freya. You just relax, as long as I’m not here, you’ll be safe,” Marco said as he got up, but Letta immediately grabbed Marco’s wrist.
“Be careful, don’t let yourself get hurt or anything, and come back as soon as possible. You know, it’s almost nighttime, and Freya has a little trouble sleeping if she’s not with her father,” Letta said, making Marco smile.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Of course, I’ll come back right away once everything is settled. Don’t forget to rest. Let the nurse watch over Freya for a while. You’ve been taking care of our little princess enough since earlier,” Marco said, making Letta nod. Marco then gently kissed Letta’s lips before kissing the top of their daughter’s head.
“I’m leaving, and remember, never let this room be empty. There must be a nurse or one of the guards watching inside,” Marco said again, making Letta nod again, before Marco left the room.
“Keep an eye on Letta and our daughter inside, never be careless or anything. We have to be vigilant, because it seems the game has begun,” Marco said, making the guard assigned to the door of Letta’s room nod before Marco continued on his way to meet Pedro and handle all the issues caused by Jacob.
