: ROSALIA'S POV : A light moan escaped my mouth as I woke up and turned over not wanting to see the handsome face of my devil husband. His hold on my waist got stronger as he pulled my back closer to his chest. His lips were on the cavity of my neck, giving wet, sloppy kisses, and his other hand was busy playing with my already hardened nipples under the sheet. I wrapped the sheet tightly around me as I felt he removed my clothes in my sleep. I know he knows that I'm awake. "Will you ever let me go? You got what you wanted from me." I asked in a sleepy voice. I'm tired. I'm tired both mentally and physically. "What did you say?" He asked in a husky tone. I knew he was giving me a chance to change my question or better not to even ask it but I didn't want to hold back. "You got what y- ahh" I didn't get to finish my sentence as he bit the spot on my neck he was sucking previously and his grip on my breast got painfully tighter. "Please let go I'm sorry-" I hissed in pain as
: ROSALIA'S POV : "Madam, You can open your eyes now" one of the girls who were getting my makeup done spoke. It's not Maria today but four other girls whom I had never seen in the mansion before. Kevin had sent them to get me ready. They dolled me up in a very beautiful blue dress which was hugging my curves so perfectly like it was made for me only. Kevin is taking me out today. I have no idea where because he didn't tell me. I just hope it's not some kind of party that we are attending like last time. I had lost control over my life totally. Life is far, I don't even have any control over basic things like how I dress, what I eat or where I go anymore. I truly cursed the moment I met him. _______***_______ Kevin was standing by his limo, looking adonis and gorgeous in his blue blazer, which was admirably complimenting my attire. The chauffeur opened the limo's door for us and we got in. "You are looking fascinating, babe" he spoke while caressing my thighs very gentl
ROSALIA'S POV: I got scared when I saw some blood running in between my knees. But It could not be mine cause my scratches were still dry. I immediately looked behind when I heard Kevin groaning as he dropped to his knees. I couldn't understand what happened. I rushed near him. His left arm was bleeding uncontrollably. I realised that he was shot. My breath was gone for a moment cause I was terrified. "Fuck!" He groaned holding his injured arm. Out of nowhere, some men came holding guns in their hands and circled the area around us. I didn't know his men were following us. "Boss! Are you alright? " One of them screeched. "Take her out of here," he ordered his men in a normal tone as if he had not been shot a minute ago. His pain tolerance level is on another level. "No, I'll not leave. You need help." My mind suggested me to escape this situation quickly but my conscience didn't allow me to leave him in this state even though I was very scared of this situation as well as the
❝ Her eyes hold everything my soul thirsts for ❞ : KEVIN'S POV : I watch my kitten playing with Aaron giggling carelessly and chirping in joy. My wife. My Rosalia. I do possess everything a man can desire for but calling her mine brings me the maximum satisfaction. The only thing that is good in my life right now is her. I was determined to make her mine the moment I saw her. Her innocence and purity tempted me to taint her. I was captivated by her naivety. I don't remember sleeping with the same girl twice. I have always used girls for pleasure. In my world, all the girls were the same. Only my name was enough reason for them to spread their legs even before asking for it. But my doll is different. She was always different. I married her cause something in her attracted me. An unknown thread of feelings pulled me towards her. Sooner or later, I need to have an heir eventually, and she could not be more perfect for that. I knew she would make the perfect little wife. B
ROSALIA's POV : My phone beeped multiple times causing me to wake up. It was dark. The lights were out. I remembered passing out while Kevin was fucking me like I was some rag doll. I tried to sit but failed miserably as two strong arms were holding me in place. I slowly removed his hand, which was right under my breast, and sat up. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand I checked on my notifications. I had received multiple messages from an unknown number. Who can probably text me at this hour? It was three in the morning. What I read in texts left me baffled. -Hey, Rosalia, it's Luca. Remember we met in the club that day. -To be detailed we talked about your parents that day. -It's urgent and I have something important to inform you. I never thought I'd get to talk to Luca again. I decided to text him back. -How did you get my number? His reply popped up on my screen instantly. - It took me days to get your number but I wanted to talk to you about something imp
❝ I'll use you, own you and make you mine forever ❞ THIRD PERSON POV_______________For the first time after many days, Rose could not stop smiling. Seeing her sister so delighted made her very satisfied. Even though Rosalia begged him not to, Kevin took them to the most expensive restaurant nearby. A lavish birthday cake, wonderful decorations and an enormous number of gifts were arranged for Emilia. The celebrity chef of the restaurant personally prepared her favourite dishes. Both of the sisters never really celebrated their birthdays properly after their mother's death. It was certainly a happy day for them.After dropping Emilia at her place, they were now coming back to the mansion."Thank you for today," Rose said what she genuinely felt."It's the least I could do" Kevin smiled at her. "Did you find that man who attacked us that day?" She asked as she noticed the number of cars following their car was more than usual. "My men are taking care of that" he informed."Will y
❝She calms my chaos that ignites deeper within❞ _____________ : ROSALIA'S POV : _____________ Things have been a lot different lately. That night, Kevin took me again and again until I lost consciousness and he kept repeating to me the lines about how he can find me from anywhere in the world even if I manage to escape and why I should not even think of such a foolish act for my own good. And after that night, Kevin is behaving quite strangely. When he works in his home office, he would make me sit inside the office all the time. I find it extremely boring, but like always, that does not count. Someday he would come home earlier and have dinner with me. And someday he would just drag me to the dining table awfully early in the morning just to have breakfast with me. Among these, the most confusing is that he would bring me gifts and red roses sometimes at night. I fear the purpose behind his unlike nature. What if he is done with me and planning to murder me real soon, an
ROSALIA'S POV: -------------- Among all the decorations I had seen, this one was extraordinary. It was so gorgeous yet so sober. A party was being thrown at the Knight's mansion on the occasion of Kevin's birthday. According to Kevin, it was a very private party, unlike the other years. The very important persons, which summed up around 120 people, were invited. He had also sent his driver to pick up Emilia. I was happy that I would be able to see my sister again. My makeup was done and I was already dressed in an off-shoulder knee-length dress when the guests started arriving. I recognised some faces from the wedding but most of them were unknown to me. John was hosting the party, and soon Kevin entered in a black suit, looking as charming as ever. Each and everyone's attention shifted towards us when Kevin brought me to the stage with him holding my hand. "Good evening everyone. I am glad that you all are present here to celebrate my birthday. I would like to utilise this ch
• • • Rosalia's POV -------------- "Mumma, what's this?" Reyna, my little curious daughter who is seven now asked out of nowhere, just as I feared last night. Before I could freshen up and put on some concealer on those hickeys from last night, my babies were in my bed. I should have left the bed early. "Looks like the huge spider bit mumma before I killed it yesterday," Rex tried to make sense with his sister. Indeed an indomitable spider it was, I smiled to myself. But wait .. what? "You killed a huge spider yesterday?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at my naughty son, who looked rather proud of his actions. "Yeah, I did. Aaron was so afraid of it. But I killed it for him. I wish I had a gun to eliminate whatever frightens my brother," Rex huffed, puffing out his cheeks. His words sent an unsettling shiver down my spine. "A gun, Rex?" I repeated, brushing a hand through his messy hair. "There are other ways to deal with fear, my son." It bothers me so damn much how
• • • Rosalia's POV -------------- "Do I need to remind this cunt .. who does it belong to?" He seethed in my ear pulling goosebumps all over my naked body. He slightly smirked in victory observing my vulnerability under his dominance. "Answer me, wife!" Kevin pressed again forcing my chin up making me look into the mirror before which I was standing, heaving in my absolute nakedness. It's been nine years since our marriage, Rex and Reyna are seven now, but still, this man is ever possessive as before. His possessiveness and protectiveness of me grow even further with time if that is even possible. There was a guy, insignificant like every other journalist, who was asking for my time for a private interview. Maybe he is fresh in his respective field that's why he's unaware of the fact that I do not do solo interviews, my husband does not allow me to. Kevin utterly hated the way he looked at me being amused like a little smitten guy, and now I'm being reminded of my
. . . After everyone left, Kevin gently scooped Rose into his arms, carrying her up to their bedroom. He then led her to the bathroom where he had prepared a romantic bath, the tub adorned with delicate rose petals and surrounded by the soft glow of scented candles. Gentle, romantic music filled the air and a bottle of fancy wine awaited them. Before Rose could surprise Kevin with the news of her success, she found he had already created this intimate, cosy arrangement just for them to celebrate it. Rose's heart swelled with warmth. No matter how much time passed, Kevin always had a way of making her feel like the most cherished woman in the entire world. It wasn't just the grand gestures, but the small, thoughtful details ....like how he had lit her favourite lavender-scented candles, knowing they relaxed her, or how he had drawn the bath to the exact temperature she liked. After giving birth, her favourites would change every once in a while but Rose could not even guess w
Three years later ___________ REX AND REYNA • • • 'IMPACT' Top 10 Under 30 Most Influential Women of the Year - ROSALIA KNIGHT Rose admired her picture on the glossy magazine cover, her fingers grazing over the newly launched diamond label she had worked tirelessly to establish. The name "Rosalia Knight", printed in bold, elegant letters under the headline, brought a satisfied smile to her lips. She still remembered the first time she had discovered her face in an entertainment column. It had felt surreal, even intrusive. But now... Now, she was a force to be reckoned with. She had carved her own empire, standing tall not only as Kevin Knight's wife but as Rosalia Knight - an influential entrepreneur and a mother of three. Unable to contain her excitement, she ordered the driver to hurry back home. She couldn't wait to brag about her recent ventures in front of her husband. The moment Rose stepped into the grand Knight Mansion, she was greeted by the sound of t
• • • A week passed by and Rose was at home steadily recovering from her postpartum. Her happiness knew no bounds with her babies safe and sound, cherishing beautifully in her arms. She had been deeply concerned about their health due to the premature delivery, but the doctor had assured her that they were perfectly healthy. The anxiety that had clouded her heart during those initial days had slowly dissipated, replaced by immense relief and gratitude. Despite the joy, a shadow of sorrow lingered in her heart. Rose had previously decided to give Maria the honour of naming her babies, acknowledging her invaluable support during the most critical moment of her life. But fate had been merciless. With Maria's tragic passing, the decision had slipped from her grasp. However, she chose to honour another tradition. One that Maria herself had informed her about during her pregnancy. According to the family's old customs, the first born boy and the first born girl would inherit the m
▪⬞▪ Like a fragile bird trapped in a storm, she felt the weight of his presence suffocating her every hope of escape. ▪⬞▪ The Knight family's middle aged consigliere produced some paper and put it on the front table. Two of the maids were standing at a far distance to provide if something was needed. A few men were standing outside the room and Miliani, shaking like a little leaf, was forcefully made to sit beside Daniel. Till then Miliani was fearing if he would force her to marry someone among the men present there but when the fretful realisation gnawed on her that she was about to be wedlocked by the man she could not hold herself stable in front of, it was too overwhelming and intimidating for her to take in. Daniel with his beautiful cursive writing signed the papers almost immediately, he was just a small step away from ascending to the pinnacle of his authority. Should he be bothered by this girl's reluctance and snivels? .. never. He strived hard, fought for year
• • "Is it necessary to play by the rules?" Daniel queried being serious; he relied on Kevin's wisdom for the endeavours he was striving to get even though he craved to behead the Romanos all at once, not caring about any consequences. "It's for the best," Kevin suggested confidently. With Tristian Romano being dead and no one else in his bloodline alive, it empowered the Knights to take control over their territory officially. As their mother, the daughter of one of the founder members, was a Romano by blood which attached them with the authority to acquire the empty position. But the situation was quite risky and perilous, all surrounded by their enemies but Daniel could not care less. He wanted to eliminate the other Romano families and take control over the whole of their territory but Kevin wanted him to cautiously play by their rule first then eventually ascend to the position, he aspires to. Daniel's eyes flashed with resolve as he gave Kevin a curt nod signalling his
•••All his sins, all his misdeeds circled his mind pushing his soul to the verge of damnation. Kevin's breathing grew heavier at that moment. He braced himself for acceding his eternal doom, but a firm determination was flooding through his entire being; he was definitely not surrendering his life in vain, not so easily, not before stoning the security and safety of his love, his Rose. In a heartbeat, Kevin brought out the small pistol that he tactfully hid down in his pants, pushing it halfway into the side of his shoe predicting the extreme adversity that might occur any moment. Three bullets got fired together. From a distant vantage point, Daniel fired without hesitation or a careful aim. The shot struck Tristian's hands, causing him to flinch in his determined aim and Tristian's bullet went astray, driving itself into Kevin's upper leg. At that exact moment, Kevin's own shot found its inevitable mark, piercing straight into Tristian Romano's heart. Tristian grunted ou
Kevin’s world tilted on its axis. He had suspected betrayal, but hearing it from Kate’s own lips was a dagger to the heart. Tristian’s small, evil laughter echoed in the room, a sound devoid of any humanity. He wanted to take advantage of Kevin's most vulnerable moment and Kate served in his favour well. Kevin’s heart pounded with a fierce mixture of fear, rage, and a desperate determination. The day’s harrowing events had driven him to the edge, and the sight of Tristian in his home, holding his family hostage like the Romanos did in the past and his own sister shaping all these behind his back pushed him over. He wanted to reach out and throttle Tristian, to make him pay for every ounce of pain he and his family had inflicted on Kevin and his family. But with Kate standing between them, the path to vengeance was blocked. For the first time ever in his life, Kevin felt his fingers shaking on the trigger. "Kate, you know, you don’t have to do this," Kevin implored, his voice raw w
