Rosana took a shower and sat to have breakfast in her room. After the last encounter with Munika, she ceased eating in the dining room. It was more like she was avoiding any contact with her. Munika didn't trust her and she knew that perfectly well. But what she couldn't understand was why. Why would she ask about her motives if she trusted her? Why would she ask her to run away? After eating, Viola cleared the table and left the room, leaving her to herself once again. She went over to the window and stood to stare outside. She was now a prisoner, she thought. Why would her father want this for her? Even after knowing the kind of man Sergio De Niro was, he still went along and forced her to marry him. And her mother... Rosana couldn't stop wondering how she was feeling. For the past month, she had not heard anything from her mother or her father. They abandoned her, she thought to herself as tears welled up in her eyes. If something bad happened to her, her father wouldn't care. B
"Do you like my surprise, Amore mio?"Rosana was speechless. She couldn't accept any of it. This isn't real, she kept telling herself. Her Allen was in California, probably at work or home. This person sitting right here and looking lifeless wasn't Allen. It couldn't be him."Allen... Allen!!!" She rushed over and tried to save him but she couldn't. The ropes were too tight. "Allen, it's me. It's your Rose. Please wake up!"She cupped his face in her palms and sobbed quietly. She still couldn't believe any of it was real. Her Allen being tied up, the bruises, the blood... She couldn't believe any of it.Standing to her feet, she turned to face Sergio who had been quiet the whole time. Her eyes were red and filled with so much hatred. "What did you do to him, you shameless monster?""Take these robes off him. Let him go, please!""And why should I?" Sergio asked and walked further into the room with both hands tucked inside his trouser pocket. "I just want to know the man you love so mu
"Rosana!" Munika called out with a fake smile. She was surprised to see her approaching them quietly. "Sei bellissima" [You look so beautiful!]"Grazie!" Rosana was dressed in a long black slitted gown that hugged her body perfectly. Her blonde hair was neatly tied to the back, giving her a beautiful look. "Let's go!" She took a deep breath and walked over to him. When she noticed him staring at her with dark metallic eyes, she shivered. Why was he looking at her that way? She wondered. Was her look not up to his taste? She had not even applied so much makeup. A little powder, eyeshadow, mascara, and red lipstick were all she used for the night. But with the way Sergio was staring at her, she had the urge to run up to her room and wipe everything off.Why did she even wear make-up? It's not like she was going on a date with Allen or attending a party. She was going out with Sergio, a man who was more than a devil. A man who could kill without second thoughts or any emotions."Ro?"
Rosana moaned low in her throat and turned on the bed only to meet another body lying beside her. She smiled in her sleep and gently placed her hand on Sergio's hard chest, caressing him.She could still feel the distance between them so she inched closer and flattened her hand on his chest. Slowly, she lowered it to his stomach and grazed his abs and biceps with her fingertips. His body felt so... Perfect, she thought in her sleep.But Allen's body had never been like that.He didn't have a hard chest or biceps and abs and stomach muscles. He never considered workouts so he was plain. But he was still very much handsome and she loved him that way although she wished he had the body of most male models she saw on television and in magazines. She kept lowering her hand, knowing how much Allen loved waking up to her touches. When she reached his crotch, she palmed him through the fabric of his trousers, running her palm over his length, from tip to base. She moved her hand upwards and
After breakfast, Rosana retreated to her room, wondering what suddenly changed with Sergio. He took her out for dinner, shared the same bed with her, and also had breakfast with her. Was it a coincidence that it all happened after he forced her to end things with Allen? That monster, she huffed and went to stand in front of the window. How could he start acting nice toward her after he had crushed her world? Not only her world, hers and Allen's. They were going to have a better future together not until he came and blew everything away. Her mind drifted to Allen and she sighed despondently. Without being told, she knew he was so miserable. They had made so many promises to each other but she ended up breaking hers. "My Lady?" Carmencita called out from behind and Rosana turned immediately. She had called for the older woman. "Oh, Carmen, you are here!" "I told you I will be here whenever you need me" Rosana smiled and went to sit on the bed. She was glad to finally have someone t
> Rosana sat on the cold floor, barely able to move. She felt numb and her limbs were heavy. When the cold air hit her lungs, it felt like she was breathing in knives. A sense of dread and hopelessness filled her. She was never going to survive this, she was going to die. Her fingers and toes were the first to become frozen. She couldn't tell how long she had been stuck in there but she knew it was a very long time. Long enough for her heartbeat to slow down. There were three other people in the room but two had been frozen to death. She knew this because they weren't trembling and didn't move either. They just remained on the floor, curled up like a fetus. Over the past four hours, Rosana had gone from crying and shivering to her skin becoming very cold. It began to burn, and slowly she could feel her blood starting to freeze. Her lips turned blue and her whole face felt like they poured lava over it, and then stabbed it with a thousand knives. "Goodness!"
"Remember, he likes it hot," Munika reminded as they walked through the hallway together. "And do not forget to add all the powder too" "But... Why do I have to add all of it? It will be too much for him" Munika chuckled lightly. "Nothing can be too much for Sergio. But it will be enough to blow him out" Rosana nodded and turned the corner, heading towards the kitchen. She was holding the small wrap in her hand, trembling. What if everything goes wrong? What will happen to her? What will Sergio's reactions be? Nothing good, she concluded. After Munika left her room the previous night, she had laid back, thinking everything through. If the plan worked, she'd be free. But if it didn't... She'll be so doomed. He would kill her this time without any mercy or second thoughts. But she could still back away now it wasn't too late. She could turn around, go back to Munika and return whatever she had given to her. Then she'd go back to her room and stay indoors like she always has since sh
"Water... Water...!" Rosana cried and tried to raise her body from the floor. She was in a room covered in white. The walls, floor, and ceiling, as well as her clothes. She was deprived of all colors. For Three days, she was imprisoned without food and water. The only thing she could remember was being caught by Sergio's men. She had screamed, cried, and fought hard but that didn't stop them from dragging her back here. She was thrown into the white room. A cell that was soundproofed, and void of any sound, voices, or social interaction. She could not hear anything but herself. "Somebody... Help... Please..." "Sergio... Please..." "Please... Get me out of here!" She had not seen the outside world for three days. No one came to visit her, including Sergio or Munika. Well, what did she expect after adding an unknown powder to his coffee? What did she expect after trying to escape his claws? That was the greatest mistake she had made. One she regretted over the past three days. She
