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. And it begged the question,

Since when did I consider Castilo Manor my home?

Am I going insane or is their barbaric way of dragging my figure to the nearest room disorganizing my thoughts?!

They say, one truly knows who their protector is when faced with a life or

    Rosella’s POV My brain fell short circuit as I stared at him, the veins on his head and neck were bulging and his eyes were fierce with a murderous glare. 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

    Rosella’s POV My eyes were filled with nothing but hatred and an intrusive thought clouded my mind.Is this how he felt when he killed my father? Just a life to apologize for and everything returns back to normal or should I say abnormality, seeing as nothing exists properly around him. “Save it!” I snapped in annoyance.An apology from a murderer’s mouth sounds like an insult to my ears.I heard him take a deep sigh before slowly approaching my figure on the bed.He purposely chose to stand and block my line of sight, taking even the view of the moon from me.I gritted my teeth and was forced to raise my gaze to his.“Do you enjoy testing my patience?” He asked in a low tone that rocked fear in my depths. Looking at him from this angle made him appear more terrifying, his eyes stared down at me like I was nothing but dust and I was all too familiar with that look. How could I not?When that very look was cast to me by my own mother the last time I set my eyes on her.She

    Rosella’s POV Did I just court death?It seems so because his grip on my neck only tightened, he used just one hand and I already felt my conscience slipping. I didn’t waver regardless, my eyes clouded with flames or anger kept boring into impenetrable orbs. In the next minute, he released my neck and I coughed and gasped violently for air.So he couldn’t kill me then…“Why won’t you listen to me? It’s dangerous outside”I was massaging my red neck when he spoke and my hands immediately stopped.I found his gaze and it dared to have a ting of disappointment! If this isn’t level ten psychopathic shit! I don’t know what is. Even if I tried, I couldn’t stop a scoff from escaping my lips. It's dangerous outside? Says the man who almost killed me a minute ago! “You don’t have to worry, I’ll do my best to stay away from Marcus. I’ll avoid him like the plague just like I do to you. Trust me, the last thing I want is to be stuck between two blood-filled hands. You guys disgust me…

    Rosella’s POV Regardless of my rapid struggle to escape Donovan’s fake caring gestures, I really needed that rest. It is unlike me to sleep in but here I was at noon, only peeling my eyes open because my stomach roared out in protest. Still, food wasn’t the first thing on my mind! I just received a message from Mirable that Donn wants to speak with me, and that’s all I needed to lose my appetite. I can’t tell if he knew exactly how I felt but the next text I received was to have lunch with him!I’ll try not to puke! I fully got out of bed and freshened up, I didn’t bother to wear house clothes, I dressed like I was heading out because I had a feeling the conversation would be pricking that topic!“Right this way ma’am” A maid gestured me to the location and it wasn’t the same place where I fed him his allergies. This was a smaller table, likened to a tea table, which means we’d be seated quite close!I felt my hairs stand while approaching the spot and he was already seated wit

    Rosella’s POV Luckily I wasn’t the only one seeing things. I honestly thought he had traumatized me to the point I now see everyone as him! Still, maybe that would be better than getting the real deal!“Pinch me…I’m not dreaming right?”“Hey, if you’re dreaming then I’m lost in limbo. Our luck is so good!”The girls in front of me squealed in excitement, they were definitely having the time of their life while I looked as pale as the gleam of a glow-worm. “Oh! If I thought that hottie was paradise, then I’m certainly in heaven now! Our luck is so good….haha”I rolled my eyes at their childish chattering, if only they knew the monster underneath that golden face, would they still think their luck is good?!Donovan’s eyes took a casual scan of the class and rested on me and I held my breath unintentionally. That is definitely my cue to leave, is it not?“Omg, he’s looking this way, do you think he’s checking us out? I think I’m gonna explode” Their senseless talk continued and

    Rosella’s blood stilled in that moment and cold sweats rapidly broke out from her forehead. Her eyes were darting aimlessly in confusion and distress but above all it was vying to find even a hint of jest in Donovan’s gaze but the man stayed resolute. “D-Donovan… we can’t do it here…” she said with trembling lips. For crying out loud this is their school’s public restroom! Not to mention he’s now acting as the teacher while she’s a student!Those kinds of rumors are scandalous!“I wasn’t asking you” he pressed her chin up and added “I want to have you here and that’s all that matters” Listening to his words caused her to grit her teeth in hatred. They lay in the same bed for nights yet he was disciplined enough to keep his member in his pants, yet all of a sudden he can’t wait?! Is it that serious that he wants it now? Unless…This is just his sick way of exerting dominance and marking his territory while punishing her. This thought popped into Rose’s head and her anger on

    A few days went by and Mirable was doing a better job in adjusting to the office environment but it wasn’t easy to overcome the constant challenges that employees secretly threw her way, and even now, she’s still struggling with making any sort of genuine connection.“You there, come” Mirable politely walked over, she has gotten so used to being referred to as ‘You there’ that it has subconsciously replaced her name. “Yes, senior” “Take” she passed her a file “As the boss’s secretary you should be the one to handle this deal”“Pardon?” Mirable asked in puzzlement. Since she started walking in Maston Corp, the people she saw as seniors never offered her the task of landing a deal, why now?“Don’t ask silly questions, you should be thankful we’re giving you a chance to prove yourself” the lady scoffed.“No no, I’m very grateful. I’m so overjoyed that I couldn’t believe it, that’s why I asked. Sorry”“Humph! You better do a good job” the lady drawled as she walked away and Mirable act

    The door to Franklin’s car sounded with a loud thud as he ran straight into the building, arriving at the front desk to inquire.At first they didn’t want to disclose the room number but after revealing his identity they spilled it. He took the elevator and immediately it opened his eyes rested on Rose whose hands were massaging her nape in exhaustion. “Huh, what are you doing here?” She asked in amazement but then fear crept in next as she thought,Did Donovan send him?…“Have you seen Mirable?” He questioned while walking out of the elevator and turning on the corridor. Rose followed behind and although she breathed a sigh of relief that he wasn’t here for her, she felt a new emotion engulf her heart.“Is Mirable in trouble?”“We’ll have to find out” He stated and suddenly walked up to a man who appeared to be a guard, he kicked him down and landed punches after punches, a second later he slammed open the door and Rose just watched with her mouth slightly ajar.

    Rosella’s POV Although, I hate the idea of going to a party organized by Olivia and her minions, but the getting ready process allowed me to see Mirable after some days. I knew she was working so I didn’t want to disturb her but I can’t help but feel I caused such a mess that night at the club. After all it was my exclusive idea to drag her along, she was against it and look what a mess happened. Maybe it was because of guilt but I didn’t communicate with her like I normally do when we go for dress fitting and styling. Or maybe I just didn’t have anything to say because my mind was busy thinking of Felix. I still haven’t reached out to him and I wondered if he would even have me. “All done” The attendant announced and I stared in the mirror. I looked stunning but my countenance wasn’t on par with my looks. “Mirable…” The moment I called her she had a call and shot me an apologetic look. It was a business call so I understood and while she left to take it I also left to attend th

    Rosella’s POV I was cornered by his chest and the look in his eyes told me he was highly suspicious of me but it still had a flicker of flirtatiousness. I knew I needed to save myself immediately!“I was looking for you, I just got a little carried away by the sculptures and antiques” I said in one breath and the smirk on his lips broadened. “And why where you searching for me, Rose?”I was racking my brain to think of an answer and I suddenly blurted out. “Because when I woke up you weren’t there”What the hell am is saying?! My words would only give the wrong idea and they did just that!“So you missed me that much?” His eyes widened a little with surprise and his appearance evidently got lighter. He was in a good mood over the wrong thing!“That’s not what I meant” I gritted out either way. It’s best I think of a different excuse. “Then why?” He questioned and covered the last straw of distance between us. How was I supposed to think with such proximity?! My brain immediatel

    Rose had no intention of holding back her tears and she definitely had no intention of stopping. She grabbed onto his shirt and bawled her eyes out. Retching out the pain that was killing her inside. “What did I ever do wrong?! I wasn’t the best daughter but I wasn’t irredeemable either! I was so young! She could’ve waited a little bit longer! She could’ve been my mother for a few more years, then I wouldn’t resent her this much! Arrrrrgh!”Donovan didn’t say anything, he just let her cry to her heart’s content while gently stroking her head and patting her back. “If only I could meet her once, just once in this lifetime, that’s all I ask. I’m not hoping for a reunion or anything, I’m not that naive. I just want to know why she left me that night. I want to scream my lungs out and say. Why did you abandon me, Mother?! You told me to wait! You said you’d be back! Wasn’t I worth it?! Was I not f*cking worth it?!”“It’s okay, I’m here for you, Rose”Those soothing words from him fel

    Rosella’s POV“What?” Before I could comprehend what was going on he pulled me by the hand into the now empty theater. He really sent everyone out! I stared at him in disbelief. I held his gaze for a minute longer and suddenly stared laughing. I wasn’t just laughing, I was wheezing. For odd reasons, I found the reality very absurd. The fact that Donovan actually has the potential to go crazy was exhilarating. The heavens really shared problems for everyone. Why was he so paranoid over such details? “Are you done laughing?” He sounded pissed. Maybe I did overstate the problem but it was still award-worthy. I cleared my throat and adjusted my hair.“Since you already chased everyone away like a petty two-year-old, I guess we have no choice but to see the movie, alone”Wait, alone?! I just realized that the jokes are on me! I’m trapped here alone with Donovan! What could be worse than that?We sat for the movie and after a moment the film started rolling. Maybe if I focused o

    Rosella’s POV “I already gave you my cycle report. I’m not ovulating now so give it a rest, will you?” I tried to act nonchalantly even though my heart was pumping blood faster than normal! This man might really end up killing me with a heart attack if he keeps this up. He wasn’t saying anything so I took that as my cue to slip away because no good could come from being naked in his presence. I was finally out of the puddle but he suddenly held me by my wrist.“Let’s help each other shower”“No!” I shouted instantly, I was against any unwanted attraction and I’m sure as hell the only reason why he was holding back was because of the injury otherwise, I would’ve really been in trouble. Still, I don’t have much time. His wound got so much better overnight, on that note he wasn’t lying, he even removed his IV drip. How audacious!“Why not?” He had nerves to ask after just threatening me with a dark promise. The reason was quite clear in my opinion.“Because I’m perfectly fine. Als

    Rosella’s POV I came into the room soaked from the rain, it was only a small distance I ran but the rain was so heavy that I got drenched in a matter of seconds.But when I entered the room, all thoughts of myself that clouded my mind ceased. The food tray I dropped on the shelf remained the same. It wasn’t even touched and the heavy wind from the window blew the curtains like it was going to cut from the rails any minute. Yet, my attention was on Donovan who was shivering so much. I didn’t know what else to do but call his name and run over to his side. “Donovan!” I nudged him and he responded to my call but his body vibrated more and that was due to my cold wet hands. “Sorry” I retracted my hands “I’ll go see if Alice is around to check on you” I stood to leave but he caught my wrist. “Don’t go” It was just like when he was asleep but this time he was awake, even though the illness caused his eyes to be barely open, I knew he was awake.“I’ll be back, let me just find he

    Rosella followed behind Odessa and was led to an outdoor balcony. Today was a sunny day so she wore a sundress and had a light scalp over her neck. Its blue color highlighted and ocean eyes and made her look refreshing in the midst of the swirling breeze while Odessa on the other hand, was on her usual heavy makeup with a red lipstick that stood out any day. If you were looking for the perfect woman to describe an aristocrat who doesn’t hold back in blinding everyone with her elaborate fashion sense. That position would already be taken by Odessa!And if no one told you, you definitely wouldn’t guess that she was in the medical field because she had a wild feel that made her perfect for the entertainment world yet, she was trapped in an office with a lab coat hanging from the coat holder. “You asked to speak with me” Rose was the first to break the ice, watching her sip a glass of juice and stare at the sky wasn’t really what she expected when she followed her all the way here, p

    Rosella’s POV What in the world is wrong with this man? I didn’t reply and increased the pace of my cleaning, the faster I’m down with this the better for us all because he kept staring at me like I was a feast for his eyes. It’s a good thing he’s currently injured otherwise… I’d rather not think that because I’m still freaking sour from last time!I cleared my throat nervously for letting my mind wander and I carried on my act diligently but that’s not to say someone had the decency to curb his behavior and stop staring at me like that. “I’m done” I announced and that’s when he finally took a look at my hard work. He had the nerve to look skeptical about my cleanup.“I think you missed a spot” He said pointing to his lower abdomen like a four-year-old. For odd reasons, I found his behavior funny but I quickly regained my composure.“How would you know if I missed a spot when you had your eyes someplace else the entire time” I argued but he was just as thick-skinned as ever, ne

    Rosella’s POV Donovan holding my hand in his sleep and telling me to stay was definitely not the outcome I expected. I couldn’t even leave if I wanted to because his grip on my wrist was made of iron so I lay there and miraculously he calmed down.His brows relaxed and his breathing stabilized. An intrusive thought tugged my heart but I brushed it off. Why on earth would he be dreaming of me and it looked pretty serious like he was scared I’d leave. I shook the thought off my head and slept and thankfully when my eyes opened it was morning. The bright sunny weather reflected from the huge curtains and sliced through to meet my cradled figure. I felt extremely comfortable clinging to my pillow and I didn’t want to wake up. I hugged it tighter but it suddenly made a sound that scared the living daylight out of me!“Ah!” I shot open my eyes and raised my head only to be staring Donovan straight in the face and my supposed pillow was nowhere in sight. I met his relaxed gaze and fel
