Annalise pov:

"Mommy, does the people in my new school speak our language?" my 6 year old son asked with curiosity in his voice "Yes, Matthew" I replied as I pack uo his drawer. I bough this nice apartment here in Italy where you can almost see the whole city, I feel relife I ran away from that nightmare. Thank god I stole enough money to get this apartment and also provide for me and my son.

I also got a job at Giarusso's Industries after that interview I had last friday had I'm starting tomorrow and also my son who's starting kindergarten. Matthew was like a double ganger of me only he's a boy he had blonde hair and blue eyes just like me.

"C'mon now, it's bed time you've got a big day tomorrow" I cover him with the duvet "Are we safe now mommy?" he asked, I remembered he witnessed his father beating me which give him a trauma till this day "Yeah we are safe" I kiss him on his forehead "Are you getting treatment for your scars?" he asked "Yes, mommy is healed now get some sleep" I turn off his lamp before existing his room.

Matthew is a smart kid and knows alot including protecting himself. I then retired to my bed as tomorrow will be an hectic day, the next morning I woke up around 5 to make my son his breakfast and lunch before waking him up. After breakfast we got ready before heading.

I had enrolled Matthew into this School that named 'Italy's American Academy' so it wouldn't be hard for Matthew to understand Italian "Mommy, do you think I'll get friends?" my son asked "You'll make great friends" I held his hand. As we entered we were greeted by the teacher "Ok guys settle down, today we'll be having a new friend with us and his name is Matthew Johnso" the teacher announced to the class.

"Matthew please have a seat at the back" the teacher pointed "Go on be a good boy, mommy loves you" I said while he went to his seat "Ms. Niles, my soon isn't really hyper as other kids so do you mind watching him on the playground" I said "Sure no get to work before it gets late" I nod before sprinting out of there.

I put my pass on the scanner before the glass door open, I chose the marketing department as I was kinda good at that and besides this is a multi company where they do civil engineering, architecture, shipping and market and also the company has employees from all around the world.

I stepped out of the elevator where I was greeted by a girl who has a creepy smile "I'm Lucinda Hale, your manager and over there is Terence Thomas he's your supervisor" I shaked her hand "I'm Annalise Johnson" I said "Your desk is right next to the brown hair girl" she pointed, I just nod in response before going to my desk.

My working environment was really peaceful and no one noticed me which is what I was expecting, I look like a nerd but without glasses "Hey newbie, analyze these files before lunch" a girl who looked a little older than me but is very tall and had a rude look on her face "And the name is Celine Carter" she said before walking away.

After analyzing the files a I gave them back to Celine, everyone had already left for lunch so I just got a white paper and drew anything that came to my mind. Being new here is good I guess I didn't kniw much about this place so I decided to sit there and starve myself until I got home.

As I was deep in my thoughts someone tapped me on my shoulder which made me a little startled "Yes" I said "Aren't you having lunch?" the male asked and I then remembered he was my supervisor "Mr. Thomas well I'm new here so I thought...." I trailed off "You thought no one would wanna eat with you and please call me Terence" he flashed me a smile.

The cafeteria was huge and I'm surprised all the seats are full "Hey guys, I bought a new friend" I looked up to see to see my manager and some other girl "Oh hi, Annalise come sit!" she gestured me and I sat with my tray of food "Your rather dressed so plain" the unknown girl said.

"I'm Risa Nakamoto and your dressed rather plain" she said "Um..it's just that I'm not really a fashion geek" I said nervously "Well you should dress more properly and wear makeup" she then went away. That's nothing new I've been told worse than that.

"I'm sorry about her, she's not use to having new friends" Lucinda said. After work I went to pick up Matthew at school "Hi there, how was your first day of school?" my voice caught his attention "Mommy! your here! school wasn't that good I got bullied on my first day" he said with sadness in his voice.

"I'm sorry to hear that but hi! why don't we make you some of your favorite dinosaur nuggets and some of your barbecue chips" his face brighten up "Yes" he said happily "Let's go" I held his hand. I thank god every day for having such a good son whi keeps me company and always look out for me.

The next day I carry Matthew to school early before going to work, everyone was busy when I came in the office area "What's going on here? Everyone is so busy" I asked Terence "Well that's because mr. Giarrusso is coming back from Dubai today, so everyone is finishing their work in time" I just nod before going to my desk and finishing my work.

After sometime two people came in but I didn't look up as I was busy writing this form out "Seems everyone is too busy to acknowledge my presence" I guess it was a male because of his Italian accent and deep voice, I was curious so I looked up "Mr. Giarrusso, you know very well that your employees are very hard working" Lucinda said with a smile.

"Any problems while I was away?" he asked "Well sir, Celine bullied Annalise on her first day, she told her to analyze some files which made her kinda late for lunch" Lucinda explained "Where's Celine and who's this Annalise?" he asked "That's me, sir" I stand up "So that's the new girl you were telling me about?" why is this man staring at me in a weird way.

"Yes, she's very introverted and quiet" well Lucinda can see right through me "Well when celine come send and Annalise sorry you had to witness that on your first day, I'll take my leave now" he said before leaving, I sat back at my desk and let out the breath I was holding.

At lunch I sat with Terence and the others and I must day he's kinda cute with his brown hair, green eyes, straight nose, beautiful lip and I just love his British accent "Hi Annalise, wanna join us at the club friday night?" Risa asked "I'm very busy on that day so I can't" I told them "Then let's have a sleep over at your house" Lucinda said "Sure" I flashed them a smile, I can't believe I'm finally having my first friends at my house.

"Lucinda! you b*tch, how dare you snitch on me?" we turned to see Celine with anger written all over her face "I'm your supervisor, have some respect and I'm just doing my job" she said "You are very brave one, aren't you?" she then punched Lucinda into her next life.

"You shrimp!" Risa got uo and slapped the living soul out of her and that's how Terence got in the fight while I stayed in the corner until celine turned to me "You! if you would have k-" she didn't finish as Terence kicked her across the room "Pick on someone else idiot!" he said.

Celine got up this time plunging on me and scrape me on my cheek with her nails "What's going on here?!" everyone stopped and looked where our furious boss was standing "Mr. Giarrusso, she started it" a girl around my age pointed to Celine "My office! now!" he yelled making everyone flinched.

I don't want to get fired on the second day of my job, after we went up to his office we were told to wait outside "It's because of you everyone might get fired" Risa said pointing to Celine "You can thank me later" Celine flip her hair. Mr. Giarrusso assistant Jessica Valintino came out "Sir, is ready to see you all" she said with a straight face.

As we entered his office it was cold "Stay right there and explain" he said without looking at us. I must say he is really handsome he had raven black hair, grey eyes, sharp jawline, slimly muscular body which you can see right throug black suit and he's about 6'4.

"Sir well...." Lucinda ended up explaining everything "You are all fired except Annalise" he said "Wait sir please! you can't let one person ruin someone else's career just because they stood up for themselves" I told him and he look a little taken back by it "Then request me a punishment I should give to all of you?" he smirk "Detention, instead of leaving at 5 in the afternoon, we can stay an extra hour or two" I said.

"Well you all have detention 2 weeks straight and you'll leave at 7 btw Celine your fired!" he said "Thank you, sir" I bowed before we left his office. "You saved us from that monster!" Risa hugged me "I'm impressed you convinced her" Terence said. I'll just have to text my son that he could walk home as his school wasn't far from our apartment and besides I already gave him the house key, made him dinner which he only has to heat up and do his homework and Matthew is a responsible kid so I won't have to be afraid of anything going wrong.

Giovanni's pov:

After I had dealth with the problem in the cafeteria I went back to work but that girl face was stuck in my head, her hair golden as the sun, eye's blue as the sky, her plum kissable lips and her sunshine smile. In 25 years of my existence I've never been in love before, even my parents taught they raised a coldheated monster but I don't care.

"Jessica, get me bold blonde's information" I said with the new nickname I gave her "Right away, sir" she said. Although my assistant was a girl we never had a thing and besides she in her 30's and is married and have two kids, so we were never a thing like most people misunderstood.

"Its says here that Annalise Candesa Johnson, she was once married to Timothy Hillton but had enough of the abuse after she graduated college with a business degree and flee from her hometown to here, Italy. Her son which is only 6 attends 'Italy's American Academy', his name is Matthew Logan Johnson and is very outstanding at school" Jessica explained.

"Thank you for the information, you may leave" she then went away. So, bold blonde had a really miserable life before she had enough and flee from her go, a pretty strong woman. I need to meet that son of hers, if I'm not mistaken he's outstanding in his classes and must be very smart and smart kids don't play. Then I might find out more to her miserable past life.

Annalise's pov:

Friday came by pretty quickly and I was surprised Terence, Lucinda and Risa brought their gym bag with clothes as they were spending the weekend with. After our detention we went straight to my apartment, as I entered through the door I was tackled by a hug.

"Mommy, your home! I thought that dumb boss of yours would have sent you home but anyways did you get new friend" Matthew said in one breath, wait I know remember I had a son and people love to think bad about me. Maybe I should tell them but not here.

"Mommy's friends came over to spend the night, so why don't you search for movies?" I said "Sure" he said running away "Place your bags in the couch and follow me" I gestured them, as we entered the kitchen Lucinda spoke "You never told us you had a son?" I just sigh "Well it's a long story" I said.

"Then tell us" the all said in unison "Well....." I told them everything "Wow! their cruel and I can't believe no one helped "Yeah but I'm blessed with a son" I told them "But he looks like your twin than rather your son" Terence spoke "I get that alot, what do you guys wanna eat?" I asked "Chicken wings and potato chips if you have" Lucinda said.

"With a child who loves to eat those type of food" I showed then the fridge "Woah! you bought the whole supermarket" Risa saud in shock while I laughed. After cooking and getting a shower we sat down on the couch.

"So I choosed, Transformer, Jurassic world and rampage" my son said jumping around happily "Mommy, what happened to your cheek?" sh!t how come I didn't notice the patch was off "Umm, I scratch it a little to much with my nails" I lied "Make sure not to irritate it next time" he said before sitting besides me.

The next morning everyone got up for work, I was coming home back at 3 this afternoon and since it's weekend we didn't had detection "Ok, I remember I have to wash the dishes, make my bed and my breakfast and lunch only needs heating up" I was telling my son what he had to do "And don't open the door for anyone" I said before leaving.

At work we saw everyone was punctual "Does everyone have to come before 9?" I asked "With that beast of an CEO, we can't even be a minute or else we might really see the real beast" Risa said "He clearly needs a vacation" I said "Oh really?" we all freeze at the familiar voice, we turn around to see our boss and his assistant "Mr. Giarrusso, what we were say was you need to rest we noticed you were looking really tired, you need to go on a vacation to Miami or something" Lucinda said nervously.

"I might consider giving all of you a permanent one" he said "No, we're fine and healthy but we just care so much about your health" I said forcing a smile on my face "Just get to work before I lose it" we quickly run to a next elevator, ain't no way I'm getting fired.

Giovanni's pov:

I chuckled to myself, Annalise is really something "Jessica, bold blonde seem to be coming out of her shell, don't you think?" I said "Yes sir, she's like an happy virus" I just laughed at how my assistant can be sometimes "She's just like any other human being" I said "With all due respect sir, have you hit your head?" she asked.

"No, why you ask that?" I narrow my eyes at her "You've been smiling like an idiot" she said "Your lucky I'm in a good mood not to fire you" I said, the elevator dinged so I got out. "Sir you parents are calling!" Jessica said "I'll answer it on my computer, you can go to your office" I told her.

I sat at my desk and quickly answer the call "Hi mom and Dad, what's up?" I said "Nothing son, we heard from your assistant that you didn't fire a few of your employees after they fought" my mom said "We heard that some bold blonde had convinced you not to fire them but to give them a punishment instead" my Dad laughed.

"I was in a good mood" I said "Since when?" my mom asked "I don't know" I said "Maybe your inlove with her" my Dad smirked "No she has a son" I saud blushing "Jessica told us the whole story, she must be a strong woman" my dad said "Whatever, I need to go" I was trying to get rid of the topic "Ok then do your thing" I hanged up. What is bold blonde doing to me?!.
