A brand new day.

Rain inhaled, the scent of roses being the first thing that catches.

Monday.

Her face scrunches up and she shoots up from the bed like a fucking bullet.

No, it wasn’t the scent of the rose but the fact that it was already bright out and she hadn’t even taken a shower.

“What happened to my fucking alarm?” She said as she squinted her eyes and tried to get used to the rays of the sun that seeped through the curtains and brightened up the room. She couldn’t find her phone, it made her wonder if it was because she was still half asleep, she stopped searching for it with a tired sigh.

Rain walked groggily to the bathroom, put toothpaste on her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth.

Shamefully so, Rain wouldn’t admit to anyone that she woke herself up three times while she brushed.

Damn.

Her reflection looked terrible.

She looked like she’d spent the previous night drinking every alcoholic beverage in the house.

But no.

That wasn’t the actual case.

She just

    Of course she feared him. But she wanted him even more.He didn’t have to know that though.Rain fixed her shirt awkwardly as the got seated in the car. His eyes were still on her, she could tell and it was making every single hair on her body stand in high alert.Why was he still staring?“Why are you so quiet?”“Huh?”Rain turned to look at him. He’d put on a new shirt and it only took him five minutes, just like her, he didn’t put on his blazer but instead held it over his shoulder as they walked.His smoldering gaze kept her on the edge of her seat, Rain was trying so hard to not show just how much his close proximity affected her but yet…at this rate… “Why haven’t you said a word since we left?” He asked looking like he was accusing her of something.“Because I had nothing to say,”After blatantly admitting to being affected by the look in his eyes in front of everyone and also looking at him like she came straight out of a fucking romance novel and she couldn’t get he

    “You know about the gala tomorrow right?”As they strolled through the streets of Italy, all eyes were on them. Alexander walked next to her, his hands in his pockets and he took slow steps but large strides. Rain struggled to keep up with him but she did. “Of course I do, I’m your assistant” Was Rain’s reply. She’d refused to look him in the eyes again once they stepped down from the car. She wasn’t sure what was going on between the both of them but what she knew was that his eyes are always the reason.She’d look into them just once and get lost in them, trying to decipher every single emotion, trying to find out who he really was…did she know who he was?. She’d seen so many sides of him that she’s lost count.“Do you have a dress for it or should I get you one?” “Isn’t that supposed to be my job?” She cocked up a brow.“Think of it as an early birthday present,” Rain turned to look at him in surprise. How did he know about her birthday?“Now, do you want the dress o

    Pain. Alexander grunted and pulled out the dagger from his stomach. There was pain. The meager yet dangerous object dropped to the floor with a dull clang and he spared it a glance. Pain. A lot of it but it was nothing compared to what the man who’d just stabbed him was about to experience. He had on a smug expression, looked like he’d just achieved the unachievable…it made him feel pretty good about himself. “Don!” Enzo had walked in, the tray of coffee they’d asked him for in his hand. Rain was behind him, she on a fuming expression until her eyes took in his current state. “A—” Alexander lifted a hand and stopped them both from moving forward. Mr. Torricelli chuckled and his grip on the hilt of another dagger tightened. “Why? Let them come closer...I want them to see just how much damage has been done and how easily you’re about to be brought to your knees!” The man sounded borderline hysterical, he seemed to think he had everything under control despite the obvious trem

    He was bleeding all over the fucking floor but yet he still had that smile on his face. He handed over the gun to Enzo before beckoning her to come closer with his fingers.Rain had created enough distance between them because of the way he was staring at her and the effect it was having and then…she’d just shot a man three times for calling her a whore.The name Cullen loved to call her every time he chose to broke and destroy her.She’s no one’s whore!And as much as she didn’t want her emotions to get the better of her in that moment, they did. She took the gun from Enzo’s waistband without thinking and then fired, the sight of her bullet hitting his body suddenly became an addictive feelings, adrenaline pumped through her veins once she realized what she had just done.She did it again, and again…the feeling…the power that came with holding man’s life in the pull of your finger was all too exhilarating!She almost couldn’t get enough, then she saw his smile…he looked genuine

    They were home in less than an hour.Alexander’s grip hadn’t loosened, even when he lost consciousness and his head fell to the side in exhaustion. He held on to Rain’s hand and no matter how hard everyone tried, most especially Vlad, they couldn’t pry his fists open.“Just let the both of the come out together,” The family doctor, Gregory had said in an exasperated tone. She’d first met him in the hospital when Alexander had gone for his monthly check up.The doctor was tall, much younger than she expected because he only looked a few years older than Alexander. He had dark skin, only a few shades darker than hers with full pink lips that looked extremely soft.They didn’t compare to Alexander’s though.Damn it!She had to stop comparing every man she met to Alexander. They set Alexander down on his bed after much difficulty from bringing him up the stairs.Enzo was panting by the time they were done. Rain was still feeling his warmth against her palm, her entire clothes dre

  • Bloody Rose   Martha's Death

    Martha. Alexander remembered the first time he’d met her. He’d known she existed long before then. Enzo’s step sister whom he loved and was overprotective of. He and the boys had never once set eyes on her before, all they knew about her was the bragging of her brother and how he went on and on about how beautiful she was. They couldn’t make sexual jokes about her...It was strictly forbidden around Enzo or he would beat the crap out of them. When he first met her… Six years ago now seems like a long time, she walked into the Guerriero mansion, covered in her brother’s blood from head to toe as she begged Alexander’s father for his help. She desperately begged for her brother to be saved. She wore a white, sunflower patterned dress, that was what made the scene even more ghastly. Her hair was loose and almost reached her thighs, her eyes teary and they tugged at the heartstrings Alexander never knew he had. Enzo had been in the car, bloodied, beaten half to death. His father wo

    Rain wasn’t sure how long she stood under the shower, she’d scrubbed her entire body raw more than a few times, swallowed back the screams that threatened to come up and tried her best not to cry. Or maybe she was already crying but just couldn’t tell the difference between her tears and the water cascading down on her skin. She couldn’t breathe…at some point her lungs stopped working and she had to sit on the floor and wrap her arms around her body. She’d shot a man today, she enjoyed it. That wasn’t the issue. The issue was what it reminded her of. What being covered in blood reminded her of. Maybe she was already mentally unstable before she walked into Alexander’s life…maybe this was who she really was deep down and it was hidden all this time. The water soon turned cold, that was what brought Rain out if her daze. She got up, turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around her body. She was shivering by the times she exited the bathroom. She quickly dried herself up and s

    “Hmm…”The dress Rain held fell from her hands and neither of them paid heed to it. Alexander’s warm fingers went up her shirt and rested on the small of her bare back. It was like starting up another fire next to the one he’d already began.His warm tongue slipped past her lips and her’s joined his in a duel, a dance that came to her almost immediately.When was the last time she kissed a man—no—when was the last time she was kissed like this.Her legs were moving and she wasn’t sure where but at that moment she couldn’t bring herself to care, he was walking…her legs moving with his.She didn’t know why until she felt her back touch the wall and then his hands went under her thighs and pulled her up, wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled away from the kiss.“You…” he was out of breath, Rain’s eyes were closed and her lips parted as she also tried to catch her breath, the sudden loss of his warmth threatened to sober her up, she didn’t want that. She didn’t want that r

    Darkness. It consumed her and it was all she could think about. The darkness, how thick it was, how it made her want to scream so loud that her lungs would hurt. The pain was next, it came like a freight train to the skull, fast, sudden and unexpected. It made her moan and groan, her legs shook—wait… no they didn’t. She was laying down on her back and her head was on the softest of pillows. Roses. They came next. The scent of so many roses that it almost made her eyes water…her closed eyes. Rain opened them and then let out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. It wasn’t too bright but the curtains were drawn, almost like the sun was just setting and the moon was getting ready to rise. Memories of what happened before the darkness consumed her flitted through her mind. She had been taken from the Cabin by Romeo to Cullen. He had done to her what he used to do in the past and then left her unattended because he thought she would be in too much pain to even stand, after he had

    All hell was about to break loose.No, he had to be calm and level headed or else he would just worsen the situation.“He had a knife to her throat, I couldn’t make any moves without the knife digging deeper into her skin…he wasn’t bluffing…I’ve never seen him that way before,” Aldo sounded so lost and confused, like he didn’t expect shit like this to happen but Alexander expected it, what he didn’t expect was Romeo being the person who would betray all of them.“A knife to her throat?” Alexander gritted his teeth. The thought of Rain going through something as traumatizing as that was something that threatened to push him off the fucking edge.He was at his limit and he knew that at any given moment, he was going to go insane.“I didn’t know there was someone in the SUV, I would’ve stopped him first before Romeo got there but, I managed to put a tracker on them…issue is—”“It might be a trap,” Enzo said. The man’s eyes were bloodshot and his grip on his gun was so tight that

    The knock came again and this time it was louder and much heavier than the last. The door shook and Rain flinched back in fear. “Rain!” Romeo? “It’s me! Open up!” Shit. It was just Romeo, but what happened to Alexander and why wasn’t he here instead? “Hey!” He was panting when she opened the door, covered in sweat and looked completely out of sorts. “We have to go!” He said hurriedly and then grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the cabin and practically dragging her to the mansion. “Wait…wait!” Rain hissed at the strength of his grip on her wrist,, it felt like he was trying to break it in half. “What exactly is going on?” Rain asked as she stood her ground and refused the move. The wind was cold and it blew harshly on her skin, it was deathly calm and silent outside of the cabin almost like all of the gunshots from before were just her imagination. There was no one in sight and even where there were supposed to be guards, there was no one. Something was wrong. And somethin

    Positive. Shit. All three of the tests Viola had bought were saying the same shit, her fears had been confirmed but strangely enough Rain felt really calm. She had thought she would break down until tears and start screaming hysterically but she didn’t really feel the urge to do so. She walked out of the bathroom, her legs were shaky and her eyes burning with unshed tears. Viola was right in front of her immediately and pulling her into a tight embrace. “They’re all positive, I’m pregnant,” Yes. Saying it out loud just made the reality of her situation hit her. She was carrying Alexander’s child. “It’s okay Rain,” Viola rubbed her back comfortingly, “I will be with you every step of the way, no matter what decision you make,” Rain hugged the woman tighter. She was like a lifeline in that moment. Rain didn’t think she would gain such an amazing friend after everything that had happened to her in Italy but today she was in the embrace of one, one that made her realize that everyt

    “I got them for you,”Rain looked down at the black plastic bag that Viola was handing over to her.The events of the day had made forget totally that she had more issues she had to worry about.The pregnancy test. Fuck, could this day get any fucking worse?“Are you okay? You look a bit pale…” Viola held her face with a worried expression, Rain shook her head and moved out of Viola’s reach.“Thank you for everything Viola, I’m…I think I’ll just get everything done and over with, wait for me?”“ Of course!” Viola nodded, her eyes never leaving Rain as she walked to the bathroom.Rain really needed a shoulder to cry on right now, most especially if the tests came out positive. That would just be the cherry on top of all the shit that has happened today.….“Rain and Sergio knew each other back in Japan, how is it that it didn’t show up on her file?”Alexander wasn’t sure what it was but there was just something about Rain’s reaction to Sergio that just didn’t add up. When Ra

  • Bloody Rose   The Truth

    Sergio Mendes. That was what he called himself and that was what everyone knew him as. That wasn’t the name he told her three years ago. This was not the image he carried either. He might be able to fool every single person in this room but he couldn’t fool her, she knew who he was, she would recognize that face anywhere and her mind was not playing tricks on her. Three years ago she’d been a lost girl, and when she’d finally met him she thought it was over, the she’d been found and she finally found herself, found who she was meant to be. She was wrong. “Rain?” Then came Alexander’s worried tone, only then did she realize just how long she was staring at the man in front of her. His hand outstretched for a handshake, a knowing smile on his lips. When was the last time she had a panic attack? Rain could not remember. She thought it had stopped permanently. Now. “I…I need to use the bathroom,” she managed to choke out as she forced her feet to move and quickly leave the room,

    One of the most expensive restaurants in Italy. To some, it might take months to make a reservation at a place such as this but as for Rain. The second she mentioned Alexander’s name to the restaurant, they quickly and easily processed everything.The Guerriero family name carried a lot of power and Rain was really tempted to use it to her advantage sometimes.Getting easy access into places that others could not. She could get used to this sort of thing.The restaurant was a long drive away from the mansion but it was honestly worth it. It had one of the most beautiful interior decors she’d ever seen, also probably the most expensive.The people on the tables dressed up like they were attending a fucking gala or something, every single one of them, prominent people in the country or even celebrities.Rain forced her mouth to stay closed and tried not to gape and embarrass herself.She then turned to look at Alexander who was dressed like he was just taking a casual stroll in t

  • Bloody Rose   Pregnant

    “Are you sure you’re feeling up to it?” Asked Viola who was sitting on Rain’s bed which surprisingly enough, she hardly ever used these days…well until last night. Viola was munching on chips, not really caring for the crumbs that she was actually littering the sheets with.She looked as worried as a woman eating chips would look.Rain shook her head, “It was just a dizzy spell. I’ve had them countless times back when I was in Japan,”Sure, the previous day’s episode got her shook but she quickly regained her composure.It was a normal thing to feel dizzy in the morning for absolutely no reason at all.Rain had been prone to dizzy spells and panic attacks back when she was recovering from…you know who.She didn’t see anything wrong with it but Viola seemed to think otherwise, rather strongly.“You should really go to a hospital and get checked out,”“Viola…” Rain groaned.“Just saying,” Viola shrugged her shoulders, “or better yet, get yourself a pregnancy test and pee on

  • Bloody Rose   True Feelings

    The meeting with Sergio Mendes was the next day but since Alexander had decided to leave her out of the serious stuff, he left for the exchange that they’d almost had an argument about. Or did they actually have an argument? After pacifying her, he went straight into the shower, it was noon by the time the guys came over and Rain had to revert to her routine of avoiding Romeo while trying to act like everything was normal. At first she’d thought Romeo was just in a bad mood and it was a phase that was going to pass but soon his actions started getting bolder and bolder. He would hold her hand secretly, whisper some nasty sexual words in her ear or try to kiss her when no one was looking but whenever they were with everyone else, he was their friend. The same person he was when they’d first met. Would they believe her if she told them just how much he was giving her the creeps and why? Probably not. Viola was the only person Rain could confide in about stuff like that but she still
