Rosella’s POV

The moment we arrived Castilo Manor I was greeted by Mirable.

Her appearance helped lift my sour mood but I was still in the pits.

“How was your trip?” She asked and I answered with a half smile.

“I want to be alone for now, let’s talk later” I told her and walked past.

Unfortunately the door to my room was locked and I remembered Donovan’s words.

How hilarious is it that we’re going to be sharing a room?

I walked in and all my stuff was arranged meticulously. It was as if I’ve stayed in his room all the while I’ve been here.

As much as I wanted to get a good sleep I couldn’t.

My eyes were heavy from crying and my eye bags attested to that.

I pulled out my phone in search of good news. Still, no news from the agent I paid to help me find a job.

I need something to occupy my time otherwise I might really lose my mind!

The thoughts don’t stop coming, it’s haunting me with every breath I take and I need to escape my mind!

My eyes found the numerous notification

The arrogance of the man’s eyes peeved me so much that I picked up one of the wine glasses but Dana held my hand.I stared at her in disbelief and confusion.That’s when the perv of a man spoke.“What do you mean molest? I can sue you for defamation!”“I clearly saw it!” I shouted “Hah! Girl, did I molest or assault you?” His question was directed at Dana and now everyone stared at her for an answer. To my horror she shook her head and I blinked repeatedly. What in the world is going on here?!“What are you saying, he clearly groped you! -” I raised my voice in frustration. “How dare you insolent wrench! You need to be taught a lesson!”The man roared and in the blink of an eye I was dragged to my knees by Dana.Dana’s grip on my wrist was firm and she knelt down as well. A sight tha

    Rosella’s POV “We meet again Bellissima” My hands paused for a moment before dropping the items on the table and making a polite bow.I wasn’t interested in knowing why he asked for me and it certainly wasn’t because of Donovan’s warning. I just wanted nothing to do with someone so similar to that vixen!“Enjoy your wine” I said and took retreating steps.“Are the employees here always so rude?”My strides stopped at his words. Was he gonna stoop so low and give me a hard time? I knew he was only bugging me because of whatever feud he had with Donovan but I could care less to give a f*ck“Mr. Marcus, your order has been delivered precisely as you asked. It’s only right that I give you the much needed privacy as I can see that you requested two glasses. Your companion will be here any minute so, I’ll take my leave”All these formal speeches exhaust the life out of me. I did my bow and turned to leave but this man yet again reminded me why he was so similar to Donovan!They d

    Rosella’s POV “Don’t touch me!”I found myself struggling out of his hold even though I knew I practically had no say in this. I still couldn’t withstand his presence, his touch and his scent!It drives me insane to think of the things he did, yet I let my body become his playground.How could I not repulse? As expected my struggles were for nothing as he pinned my shoulders against the wall. The force caused my head to remain lowered while from above he spoke.“You let him touch you…listen to me baby girl” he raised my chin and our eyes locked.“You are mine, Rose… Mine” The look in his eyes was frightening, I never imagined that he had such an intense emotion lingering in his depths! And I certainly never thought that he had such a wild obsession. I gulped nervously.The only thought in my mind was how to get out of his arms tonight.I don’t wanna go through that hell again!I was too slow with my thoughts as he pulled me by the neck and claimed my lips once again.This

    Rose’s eyes remained shut despite the shining rays of sunlight warming her skin.It was morning and she was a light sleeper but she refused to get out of bed. An hour passed and only when Donn left did she climb out of bed and freshen up. After last night’s encounter, the image she painted of Donn was getting harder to capture. Her mind was left wondering, why didn’t he force himself on her?According to the contract he could and she had no choice but he ended up bathing her as if his only aim was to wash away every bit of Marcus from her. She glanced through her mail as she walked down for breakfast. Her eyes lit up when it got to the results of her application. “Yes!” she exclaimed with great joy.The top tier business school she enrolled in accepted her but most importantly she was overjoyed to spend her days away from Castilo Manor. The maids who had no idea why Rose suddenly fisted the air in excitement looked puzzled.“Ahem… where is Miracle?” she tried to manage th

    Rosella’s POV Earlier when I arrived at the business school, it took me a while to get myself sorted out.My documents were gone over and I was assigned to class C. I contemplated fully starting the next day but when I thought of the only place I could be, I instantly changed my mind and took a seat in the seminar-like room.The chairs got higher from the front and I took a seat at the top section. I was never one to fancy being close to the teacher or even relating to the members of the class. At least that’s the attitude I was forced to accept after being bullied during my last year. I told myself,‘Out of sight, out of mind’But it didn’t work, did it?Adriana and her squad made sure to taunt me regardless.As I sat there my eyes caught a figure outside through the window. It was Oliver Auberon, luckily she didn’t see me or walk into my class, she seemed to have entered another room and I couldn’t help but remember her words to me.She was right, the likes of Donovan ar

    Rosella’s POV It was night time and I found my way to Bright Valley. I know it’s not wise for me to be back here after what transpired last night but I can’t return to Castilo Manor just yet. I need a distraction. So here I was, walking straight to the VIP section and brazenly requesting a new uniform.“Hey, what did you do with the one given to you last night?”The lady questioning me wasn’t yelling but she was visibly annoyed and it caused my lips to draw a thin line.It’s not like I can say it was ripped apart by a beast. “Sorry, I left it behind and I live quite far away” was my excuse. It’s unprofessional and certainly unconventional to even carry it home but I still dare to leave it behind.I know the thoughts running through her head but before she spoke a teen guy approached me.“Come, there’s a spare. Let me take you to it”I followed behind and the lady’s hostile gaze traced me until I was out of sight. ‘Phew, I guess I can say I dodged a bullet there, and it’s all

    Rosella’s POV I took a huge gulp of saliva and it suddenly dawned on me as I was being yanked and forcefully dragged down the halls that the only person I could think to save me was the very person I loathe the most. It was the feeling of being free from prison but the outside world turns out to be much worse and every day you can’t help but dream of returning.How do you tell such a tale?That the very person which you despised to death was seen as a savior in your eyes in this regard!That the hatred boiling in your heart turned to hope when faced with such vile situations!At that moment I hoped to be in Castilo Manor…This sudden realization sent more shock waves through my being than the tight grip on my ponytail.

I was still in a state of utter shock where I forgot how to breathe.The strong smell of blood clouded my lungs and even worse I could feel the texture on my skin. My breathing became more unsteady and haggard and I was at this point gasping for air.Suddenly a warm fabric enveloped my being and I raised my head to meet his gaze but his attention was fixed in properly placing his coat over my tattered clothes.Yet again, the uniform is in ruins! Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this job.My hands folded against my chest protectively and I had not forgotten about my current situation. I watched Donn raise the gun again and I flinched while the other men fell on their knees I’m pleading tears.Before anything, they spoke first.“Please spare us, we didn’t know she was your woman -”“Yes, we didn’t know, we would’ve never dared to to

    Six months laterThe air at Dalgliesh mansion buzzed with excitement. Workers bustled around, ensuring every detail was perfect for the evening’s celebration. It was a special day, not only a family dinner but also Mr. Dalgliesh’s birthday. Unlike previous years, he had chosen to keep it intimate, inviting only family.The dining table was set, and the first to arrive were Rosella and Donovan, each pushing a stroller. Inside lay their two-month-old twins: baby Eli and baby Ella. The two cooed happily, oblivious to the world around them.Mr. Dalgliesh, waiting in the hall, ignored the couple entirely and went straight to the strollers. He leaned down, his face lighting up as he reached for Ella and cradled her in his arms.“My sweetie pie, you’re so cute,” he crooned. “Don’t mind your parents for not visiting more often. They act like they’re still on their honeymoon, and they haven’t even had a proper wedding. Humph!”He turned to Donovan and swatted at his arm, mock scolding. “Why is

    The air was heavy with tension, and two battles were unfolding simultaneously, each in different corners of the world but tied to the same fateful thread.In the Dalgliesh mansion, Rosella set her teacup down and summoned her courage to confront the man seated before her. Mr. Dalgliesh, with his graceful yet aged demeanor, seemed almost serene as he sipped his tea, the epitome of calm.“Was it true?” she asked, her voice steady but laced with intensity. “Were you the one who orchestrated all of this? Did you put Jake in a position where he had no choice but to offer me up for the surrogate selection?”Mr. Dalgliesh lowered his cup and flashed a faint smile, one that revealed both wisdom and mischief. “Truly, all things hidden under the sun must be revealed,” he said cryptically, his voice rich with age and experience. Then, with a quiet chuckle, he added, “I really thought I’d die with the secret, haha.”Rosella’s breath caught. “Why? Why would you do something like that?”Meanwhile,

    Rosella’s POV The next day, I went to the hospital with Donovan by my side. He never left me alone these days, always hovering protectively, and I couldn’t say I disliked it. It made me feel safe, like someone was always there to catch me if I fell.As we reached the ward, I felt a hand grab my arm. Startled, I turned, only for Donovan to react before I could. He moved like lightning, grabbing the man by the collar and slamming him against the wall.“Who the hell do you think you are, touching her like that?” Donovan growled, his tone low and dangerous.The man struggled under Donovan’s grip, his face pale and drawn. My eyes widened as recognition struck me. It was Jake. My ex-fiancé.“Donovan, stop,” I said quickly, placing my hand on his shoulder. “Let him go.”Donovan hesitated, his jaw tight with fury, but my touch seemed to ground him. With a warning glare, he released Jake, though his stance remained tense, ready to act if needed.Jake coughed and straightened his shirt, his ey

    Mirable and Franklin arrived at the hospital to take over watching Mirable’s mother. It was clear from their subtle touches and soft exchanges that they were now a couple. Rosella noticed it too, but she didn’t comment, simply offering Mirable a small smile before allowing Donovan to guide her toward the car.Usually, Rosella would have argued to spend the night by her mother’s side, but the news of the twins had left her too dazed to argue about anything. Meanwhile, Donovan was practically radiating joy, looking like a man who’d just won the biggest lottery in history.The minute they reached home, Donovan didn’t give Rosella a chance to walk. He swept her up into his arms bridal style, ignoring her half-hearted protests.“Donovan, I can walk, you know,” she said, trying not to smile.“Not when you’re carrying our twins,” he replied with a wink.She sighed, shaking her head, but a small smile tugged at her lips.Once inside their room, he gently set her down on the bed. “Stay here,”

    Rosella began to push herself up, her hand reaching for the edge of the bed to steady herself. She was intent on leaving to check on her mother, but she failed to notice the pained look on Donovan’s face.“Rosella, please,” Donovan said suddenly, his voice soft but filled with emotion.She froze mid-movement, her attention finally turning to him. That was when she saw it, his strained expression, his eyes full of worry and frustration.“What is it?” she asked, her tone hesitant, almost fearful of the answer.Donovan took a deep breath, his jaw tightening as he tried to keep his emotions in check. “I know you’re worried about your mom. I know it’s hard. But… you can’t keep doing this to yourself,” he said, his voice trembling slightly. “If anything happens to you, Rosella, I… I don’t think I’d be able to go on.”His words hit her like a blow to the chest. For a moment, she couldn’t move or speak, only stare at him. The weight of his feelings, the depth of his fear settled over her like

    Another month had passed, and the hospital room had become a second home for Rosella. She sat by her mother’s bedside, wiping her face and hands gently with a soft napkin. The steady beep of the heart monitor was a constant reminder that her mother was alive, but the silence that lingered over the room was deafening.Donovan was in the VIP ward too, never straying far. He leaned casually against the doorframe, his tie loosened and his sleeves rolled up, watching Rosella with a mixture of tenderness and concern.“What do you want to eat today?” he asked, breaking the quiet. “And don’t say you’re not hungry. Pregnant women are supposed to eat a lot, crave weird things, and make their husbands run all over the place to find them.”Rosella smiled faintly, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I’m conserving your funds,” she said lightly, focusing on smoothing the blanket over her mother.Donovan chuckled, walking closer to her. “You don’t have to do that,” he said. “I have enough to fee

    The morning sun poured gently through the windows of Rosella and Donovan’s home, casting warm, golden light across the polished floors. Rosella sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, her hands resting on her growing belly, her eyes distant as they stared at nothing in particular. It had been a month since her mother fell into a coma, and the days since had blurred together in a haze of worry, sleepless nights, and moments of hope that felt too fragile to hold onto.Donovan entered the room, his presence always grounding yet protective, like a storm-ready lighthouse. He approached her cautiously, sensing the heaviness she carried. “You okay?” he asked, his voice low with concern clear.Before she could answer, a knock at the door broke the silence. Donovan stiffened immediately, his sharp instincts flaring to life. “I’ll get it,” he said firmly, striding toward the door with the practiced confidence of someone who’d spent his life prepared for danger.When he opened the door, he

    The tension in the hospital lingered in the air like an uninvited guest, heavy and suffocating. After the doctor delivered the news that their mother had survived the surgery but was now in a coma, neither Rosella nor Mirable could breathe a sigh of relief. The hope of her waking up was the only thread holding them together, yet it felt too thin, too fragile.Rosella’s knees buckled, her strength waning, but Donovan’s strong arms shot out and caught her before she could collapse completely. His grip on her was firm yet gentle, his eyes filled with concern. “You need to rest,” he murmured softly, but she barely heard him, her mind too occupied with the image of her mother bleeding out in her arms.The room where their mother was moved to was quiet, save for the beeping of machines and the faint rustle of nurses shuffling about. The doctor informed them that they could visit, but before they could take a step, Mirable turned to Rosella and Donovan, her expression conflicted. “Rosella… c

    Blood spattered on the ground, pooling beneath the crumpled body of Rosella's mother. The sound of the gunshot still echoed in Rosella's ears, even as chaos erupted around her. Her body froze, rooted to the ground as the weight of her mother's falling figure pressed against her chest."No-No, no, no!" Rosella cried, catching her mother in her trembling arms. The air seemed to thicken, bullets zipping past her in the ensuing firefight. She didn't flinch.The world blurred, focusing solely on the woman bleeding out in her arms. ‘Why did she throw herself in front of me?’ Rosella’s mind was pinned on this thought. "Mom! Stay with me!" she screamed, shaking her gently. Blood seeped through her mother's dress, staining Rosella's hands and knees. "Please, don't close your eyes, don't do this to me!"Her mother's eyes fluttered open, her irises clouded with pain yet filled with a strange serenity. "Rosella..." Her voice was barely audible, a faint whisper under the chaos.Tears streamed d
