Boss, we have a problem" Hans one of the top comperigime informs "Our delivery guy, David can't make it. He claims his daughter got hospitalized" " What??. And you are just telling me now?. You are just useless aren't you?" I ask angrily as I run my hand through my hair.Gosh, I am not in the mood for this, I am tied." Forgive our incompetence boss, but what do you propose we do now?"

VIXEN / ROSE POV" It's a trap"Those aren't the words I was expecting to say by this timeI always assumed that today we would be sharing a drink to celebrate our success together.Turns out I expected too much.I should have known something like this was going to happen.I am the nature unlucky one.Nothing good ever happens to me.Just when things were finally getting good.Just when Roman was finally noticing me.Who am I kidding?.He wasn't feeling me.Bet he was just making jest of me.To think he will go as far as body shaming me.Anyway, enough of that.The situation here is critical and shouldn't be taken lightly.Earlier, I had angrily opted to stay outside since I was offended with Roman.Turns out that was the best decision I ever made, cause a few minutes into the delivery, a black van drives in.From a glance I could tell this was trouble, so I hid, and how right I was.I watch as 10 heavily armed men alight the van.At first I attributed my suspicions to mare paranoia.

ROMAN POV " Rose" I call out to her, all terrified.I haven't seen her since the exchange fire began and I am terrified for some reason.I wouldn't call it love but I fear I might lose half of my soul due to my own carelessness, and that scares me.She slowly then makes her way out of a blind spot frightened, practical shaking in her boots.I quickly pull her into a hug before Drake takes over for a brief moment." I thought I lost you" He informs, hugging her tightly.It only takes the sound of a gun shot to jug my sanity back.I pull away from her, looking behind only to see an arm man with a gun shot wound to the forehead fall to the ground.The gun is still in her hand as she looks upon it with terror, and tears in her eyes.I recall her saying in the car, when I imposed the gun on her, that she would never use it. Cause she wasn't a murderer.It then hits me, Rose just committed her first murder to save my life.#################So here we are 10minutes down the side way and Ro

ROMAN POV" Ahhh..... Harder babe" Crystal ( My longtime sex partner) moans, edging me to go deeper and I happily oblige.Pumping in deeper." Aahhhh...... Aahhhh..." She moans in ecstasy as she wraps her legs around my waist, as I fuck her with reckless abandon.A couple of minutes down the line and we both reach our big O.I pull out, take off the used condom.Lay on my back, before pulling her to my chest." Babe, that was amazing" She says with a pleasing smile" Of course, do I ever disappoint?" I question as I gently pad her head." Not really but tonight was extra special. It was like you were a completely different person" She informs with a proud smile.In total honesty, this sex did feel different. I think it might be due to the fact that I was imagining her as someone else.By someone else, I mean Rose.She has been in my head through out the night since I dropped her off at her place.I guess it's just my system's way of dealing with gratification for a woman.I can't beli

I thought I was depressed before but right now I feel like just ending it all.' Maybe dieing and being with my children is the only way I can finally be free'_ I think as all sorts of suicidal thoughts cross my mind, before I hear my phone buzzing.Turns out it was just my best friend Brenda calling." Hi beautiful" I pretend to be happy.The last thing I want to do is let her sense that I am depressed.She wouldn't never stop nagging me if that happens." I am at your door step" She says simply and hangs up the call.I quickly rise to my feet, dust myself off and try tidying up alittle before running to the door post." Welcome beautiful. What a pleasure surprise" I say with a fake smile "You didn't tell me you were coming" " You reck

VIXEN/ ROSE POVRoman, Roman, Roman!!!What a puzzling man.One minute he is all grateful and next he is a scumbag, who goes about paying people to spy on me.Normally I don't like two faced bastards, but there is this something that keeps drawing me closer, like I was meant to be with him or something.It is like no matter how annoying he gets, being with him still manages to make me less depressed.' I wonder what he will do next'_ I think before hearing a knock at my door.I rush over thinking it would be Brenda, but to my greatest surprise, it happens to be the last person I want to see now, Roman." Boss......... Good morning....." I greet with a abject, confused smile." Good morning Rose" He replies emotionlessly as his eyes sweeps me from head to toe.His stare is kind of uncomfortable, since I am still in my translucent blue night dress." I will like to have a word" He informs with a sexy smile" Really!. In that case please come in" I offer, holding the door for him." Ther

DARRICK POV" Wrong! wrong! wrong!" I yell in frustration, sending the pile of paper work on my table flying.Nothing seems to be working.My company faces one problem after the other, one lose after another.Last week was an incident with contaminated wine and today my sugar cane plantation just caught on fire.Someone is out to get me.That's the only logical explanation.I mean there's no way in hell that my sugar plantation just caught on fire.I mean, it's not even the dry season, so how is that even possible.Or could it be that the moon goddess is punishing me for betraying my mate, and sending her to her untimely demise.Yes, yes!!!.That makes sense, that's the only logical explanation to this dilemma." You know throwing a tantrum is not going to solve the problem right?" Sapphire's annoying voice echoes a few centimeter behind me.Speaking of bad luck.Why am I cursed with someone like her as a wife.Just seeing her face every morning infuriating me.To think I have been ob

VIXEN/ROSE POV" Name your price" He saysSuch arrogance.Roman just doesn't seem to stop amazing me.Everyone knows you can't repay a debt of life saving, talkless of doing it with money.The least he could do is say thank you, but knowing the arrogant Roman Rogriguez, he would rather have his tongue pulled out than do something as rediculious as that." You want to pay me for saving your life?" I doubt, still unable to comprehend his former statement." Yes, name your price" He says with a proud smirk" I'm sorry. Do you really think you can pay me for saving your life?" I question, displeased by his lack of manners." I don't see why not. I don't want to feel indebted to you anymore than I already am. So I will appreciate it, if you simply name your price" He informs still with his arrogant demeanor, sending a shock wave of anger coursing through my veins."
