"Sorry Miss, your car will be rattled."
"Just do it as long as we're safe." If I don't survive who's gonna take care of Valentina and Papa. Oh God please save us. My only prayer now.
"Protect your head Miss. I'm starting!" Along with that another car started to pick us up. I put my hand on my head as a cushion of shock and Juan started to take a blunt angle position to swipe my car over the roadblock but didn't hit it. The sparks were created while the sound of friction between the metals made me close my eyes. We slowed down on the first try but haven't been able to stop completely.
“I'll try again, this time pepet and hold me.” The second trial of Jose's car now memepetku we add to the friction power. And finally after a few dozen meters our car was able to stop. And finally!Thank God I'm alive.
“Nona you are fine.” Juan asked me.
“Ya I'm good.” My car must be badly damaged by now, inevitable. I'm out looking at the damage to my car. God, this car has to go in the old workshop.
People stopped in the street to see our car, while not far away there was a police patrol helping us. You were questioned for a while and my car isn't in the garage right now but it's going to be taken to the police station.
“The brake bracelet must be disconnected, we will check your car Miss, you have a problem with someone Miss?” The police are asking for my information.
“I am now in the case against Adriano Gianni, if you pay attention to the news.”.
“Ohhh, I feel like I've seen you where, it turns out you're on the news. Alright. Anything else? Have you ever received a threat.”
“Just an hour ago I received a call from a stranger I didn't know, Mr. Police, he threatened me and said I was a bad woman. Actually there is a woman who is close to my ex-husband.”.I showed you the phone records I just received and what the man said. Although I could not immediately conclude that the phone was from someone who knew Silvia, I suspected that she was the only one who called me a snake.
“I will note it temporarily, tomorrow you have to report to the office, there will be an investigator calling you soon.”.
“Good officer.”
I came home in a car that the other bodyguards brought at last.
“We must immediately go back and see the security camera, give us the number of the man who called you Miss, we will immediately investigate this ourselves.”
“You don't wait for the police?”
“Waiting for the police will take a long time. We must have a report material to Mr. Bova immediately because we are responsible for your security.” They drove me, only Juan stayed in the apartment later, while they went to research security cameras.
“Just rest Miss. We'll find out soon who's responsible.” I rested that night with gratitude that I was still able to see the morning sun.

BOva POV.
“Sir, Miss Eliza's car was sabotaged. Brake car blong...” A report past midnight made me frown and worry right now. Jose told me all the events that happened.
“Then how is it?”
“Nona Eliza is fine Sir, we managed to stop the car as soon as I realized the brakes were blong. It's only possible that Miss's car is now being held at the police station. But Miss is not injured. He's already we've delivered back home after the business with the police is done.” Thank goodness Vanilla was not hurt.
“How can that happen. You guys get suspects?”
“We got a suspect on the surveillance camera, but to find out who's there we need Mr. time."
"Alright do it as fast as you. This time you're late, how can anyone sabotage his car. Though it's parked near the restaurant."
"We understand, later we actually split up around the restaurant. There are suspicious people who are always caught next to the restaurant and we suspect it was Gianni's spy. We're watching Miss's car."
"There's a suspicious person wandering next to the restaurant?"
"We will confirm it soon Sir. I thought he was Gianni's spy. To keep an eye on Miss and see with anyone she meets."
"Gianni shouldn't be able to do anything right now. His fangs have been stripped for now. What matters is that you don't miss anymore. And quickly find the man."
"Understand Master. We'll take care of it soon."
I wanted to call Eliza asking about her situation but then I pared. He needs to rest. Tomorrow I'll meet him in his apartment.
A call from Mr. Armando came in.
"I just want a report, Juan reported that Miss Eliza was in an accident, I'll use this to make news as well even if it's not corrupting? But enough to make any experiment from Gianni berenti. I heard from Juan it's possible they got scouts around the restaurant."
"Yes do. I don't think I'm going to hide anymore. I'm gonna blatantly protect Eliza from Gianni. They've lost their fangs now. His patriarchal political career will not be able to flourish in at least 2x this election. And my Uncle, Vittorio Bova has already gained enough party support because of this event."
I won't put Eliza in any more danger, otherwise I'll be late in regretting if something happens to her.
"I understand Mr."
And tomorrow I will no longer play with the word friend. It's enough we say they're friends, enough of this exploratory period.
Now it's time for the real relationship.

ELiza POV
“You okay?” Don Juan and Mr. Armando showed up this morning in the living room, it must be Juan who let them ride. I vaguely heard people talking in the guest room, but I thought Jose and his friends, I didn't know Bova and Mr. Armando would show up here.
“I didn't know you were here?” I just got out of my room and was going to work again and he was sitting in the middle room with Jose.
“Good, thanks to them I was finally able to stop safely. You guys been here a long time?”
“Thank you.” I sat next to him, smiled and looked at him.
“Thank God you're okay.” This time he embraced me, making me smile receiving his attention. “They have found someone suspicious from the results of CCTV.” I was shown the footage they had copied on their laptop.
“It seems that Miss Eliza's man, maybe this person is the same person who threatened you, we will find out soon after browsing her phone number.” They showed me the indistinct images they got, a man wandering near the car. Then it disappeared down and seemed to leave later.
“You can track his phone number?”
“Can rest easy Miss we have a way to track her, if her phone is not thrown away. But I guess he's not stupid either, if he dares to do this his cell phone and his cards won't be used anymore. We'll have to work with the police to trace his face if so. There is another camera that records his face around this region.” Mr. Armando is speaking now.
“Can't this be Gianni?”
“I think they'll be very careful now. But I'll use this for news material as well. Although I am not stupid to accuse her, simply saying there are people who want to harm Miss Eliza, will be enough to cause speculation in the community and quite cornering because Miss is now in trouble with them.”
“Why did you tell them that the possibility of harming you was a man your ex-husband's lover was not Gianni.” Now Bova asked.
“Because the man who called me called me a snake, reminded me of the way Silvia called me. I don't know what to imagine when he says I'm a snake, like that woman who deliberately gave the message.”
“Quite reasonable. We'll try to find the connection. “ Mr. Armando who said that.
While they continued the conversation I went into my room again to pick up my bag, and finish my make-up. Someone knocked on the door. I'm guessing who knocked on my door, most likely Don Juan. I opened the door with a slight thump.
“Can I log in?” I let him in. He stood in front of me, making me wonder what was on his mind.
“You showed up here, aren't you afraid Gianni made you a target for shooting because it's close to me.” On the other hand I was afraid that my heartbeat might sound because I was standing close to him.
“I'm very worried about you.” He didn't answer my question, but now he's holding me in his arms. She smells, I love how she hugs me so tightly, so warm, makes me feel protected.
“You're a very good friend.” I smile broadly in his arms now. Still dare not say anything even though I hope prayer says something that makes me not have to guess anymore.
“You're so happy to tease me, aren't you?” He let go of his embrace and looked at me, but still put me within reach of his arm.
“I flirt? I'm just saying you and I are very good friends.” He's breathing now.
“Alright Vanilla. I want to be your lover, are you satisfied? No more friend nonsense.” I'm looking at him now.
“Why. You want my lover? Why did you change your opinion about a relationship?”
“You need a reason?” Of course I need a reason why he is moved to say it now.
“Iya, why now.”
“I'm afraid something happened to you and I didn't get to say anything. After all you are now completely divorced.”
“Why did you wait until now?”
“Come here we talk. I want you to know I did everything for you without expecting anything in return. I want you to be able to trust me.” Now she took me to sit with her and embrace my shoulder without hesitation.
“I can't accept friends without status.” I explained my wish, that I had no intention of being her sugar baby that was restricted by certain rules.
“I'm your lover, not a date, not a sugar baby. I get your point. No, I'm not trying to get you in a relationship for a second, and you've even met my family. Actually I'm not anti-commitment, I just avoid spoiled women who are too demanding, but then I become too comfortable in that zone, I don't change girlfriends, I don't change, I told you my contract was Sophia for almost two years, until I met you. You understand Vanilla. So do you want to be my lover.”.
“What being your lover has special rules.” What's being her lover like? I wonder what he expected.
“The rule is just trust me. Don't call me every hour, ask me where I'm going every hour, I don't like being suspected, I want us to be happy with each other, but not watching each other. I'm your lover, your friend, not your surveillance camera, the point is I don't like to be doubted. I don't like being called Don Juan, I'm as handsome as you say I am but I'm very picky and loyal. Obviously I'm not Don Juan, nor is Javiermu.” I'm laughing now, overdosing on confidence, so what should I call this Don Juan.
“Obviously you're not Javier, you're still jealous of Javier apparently."
"You used my body as your Javier's mediator twice,...." I laughed, but then I hugged her. Everything was clear between us. He was so happy that he could have a normal relationship.
"We'll probably just be two..."
"We talked about this, I don't mind because I don't want it either. We can enter the nursing home together if we are old, enjoy our lives both, without the need to think about what we leave behind. Finished with ourselves..."
I looked into his eyes that said that with complete confidence.
"You're sure about that..." My question made him breath.
"We'll try to live it like that. There must be problems, but I also don't like relationships like roller coasters, fighting over and over again. Our daily life has been a lot of roller coasters, do we have to add problems in personal relationships. We should have gone home together and found a peaceful place at home when we met, instead of suspecting each other and asking where I was before. Isn't that. Going on vacation together happily after many days of work... That's what's on my mind."
Apparently that's what he was afraid of. I suspected him, not believing him, of thinking he had another woman because he could and was very talented at it.
"I can catch what you mean. All right, I want to be your lover ..." He's smiling now.
"Vanilla, you need a kiss?" The question makes me flutter. Now I steal her kiss quickly. One little kiss made her look at me in disbelief.
"That's what?"
"Kiss..." I grimaced wide.
"It wasn't a kiss." Now he's pulling my ping closer. Holding my nape and giving me our first kiss without hesitation. It made me stare, shocked and stunned to not be able to breathe for a moment, before finally being able to return the kiss.
We're lovers now.
